Sheng An Ning was half happy and half sad. She was happy that the college entrance examination policy had finally been announced, but sad that Zhou Shixun had not come back yet, making her almost forget what this man looked like.
After eating something in a hurry, the two went directly to the second institute to find Zhong Zhiguo.
Zhong Zhiguo did not hesitate. He knew better than anyone how difficult Zhou Shixun's life was outside, so if Sheng Anning wanted to sign up for the college entrance examination, it was a small matter and he agreed readily.
He also promised Cheng An Ning: "Don't worry, no matter how many people sign up, I will be able to keep this place for you. You can go home and study with peace of mind. The unit will organize study classes in the future. If you feel that you have time and there is still knowledge that you cannot master, you can come and listen."
Sheng An Ning didn't expect there would be such a good thing: "So good? Then I will definitely come to listen."
Zhong Zhiguo smiled and said, "It is also for everyone to pass the exam, so the unit will invite some teachers to give lectures and make up for the registered candidates. After all, the courses have been abandoned for so many years. I am afraid that many people will not recognize the questions in the textbooks when they open the textbooks, and the textbooks do not recognize them either."
Sheng Anning was happy: "That's great. If that's the case, I will definitely be able to focus on studying and won't be so blind."
She felt that she had no problem with math, physics and chemistry, but she was not so good at politics as she could not grasp the key points.
This year's college entrance examination did not test English, her strongest subject, so she was still a little nervous.
Coming out of Zhong Zhiguo's office, Zhou Chaoyang was excited: "Sister-in-law, if you get admitted to university, you will be a college student in the future. Oh, our family will have another college student, as will my second brother and my sister."
At that time, college students were still very rare, and no family in the rural area could produce a college student.
Sheng Anning smiled and said, "You should be more low-key. If you fail the exam later, you will be so embarrassed."
Zhou Chaoyang didn't think so: "What's the big deal? Many people don't dare to sign up. Look at me, I don't dare to sign up. I know I will just be the last one to go. Also, only our company will offer remedial classes for everyone. There is definitely no other place. You have to figure it out on your own."
After she said that, Sheng An Ning felt more at ease. After all, she had missed ten years of education, and everyone's level must be about the same, so the passing score for this college entrance examination was very low.
The more Zhou Chaoyang thought about it, the happier he became: "Sister-in-law, have you decided which university to apply to?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Jingshi University."
Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this school is good, and it's right next to our home. Your parents will take care of you. My eldest brother will definitely be relieved. You will come back during the holidays, and he will go back during the holidays. And maybe my eldest brother can be transferred to Beijing when he returns to work."
Sheng An Ning reminded her sensibly: "There is still a child. I may have to take a leave of absence from school and go back to school after I have a child. Besides, it will not be so convenient to travel back and forth after I have a child."
Sheng An Ning felt a bit overwhelmed when she thought about taking a child on a train for four or five days. As for taking a plane, you couldn't just do it if you had money; you also needed special approval from your work unit.
It’s not that easy to go out.
Zhou Chaoyang slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, I forgot. My eldest nephew was also born at that time. But it's okay. You can show the child to my parents and you can come back to see my eldest brother."
Then he looked at Sheng An Ning and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. When you go back to school, everyone is a college student. Will you fall in love with someone else?"
Sheng An Ning stretched out her hand and twisted Zhou Chaoyang's arm: "You little girl, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Zhou Chaoyang shook his head: "Not really, but I am worried about my elder brother. Such a good wife cannot be lost."
Sheng An Ning laughed: "Why are you so good at talking? If you speak well, just say more."
The two of them walked home arm in arm, laughing and joking.
As for Xiao Yan, when she heard the policy of resuming the college entrance examination, she finally put her mind at ease. Then she watched the educated youth go to the village party secretary's house in groups, because the document clearly stated that young people were encouraged to take the college entrance examination.
Anyone who meets the requirements can take the exam as long as the approval is stamped by their work unit or village committee.
But when they arrived at the village, there were only five vacancies for nearly thirty educated youth, two of which had already been selected. Those two were both top students in school and had made outstanding contributions during their labor in the countryside.
There are more than twenty people left to compete for these three places.
Xiao Yan was not sure at all. She had not been in the village for more than three years, and many of her relationships had become estranged. Besides, everyone was hostile to her. Could she get it?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. When it was dark and there was no one around, he took two bottles of wine and went to find the village party secretary.
There was a kerosene lamp lit in the room. Under the tiny flame, the village party secretary and his family sat on the kang eating dinner, a plate of pickles, a few scallion pancakes, and rice porridge. They were considered the best-fed family in the village.
Seeing Xiao Yan, Yue Lian smiled: "Xiao Zhiqing is here? Have you eaten?"
Hanniu took a scallion pancake and handed it to Xiao Yan attentively: "Wife, eat it, wife, eat it."
Xiao Yan really wanted to shut Han Niu's mouth. She didn't know why he called her his wife whenever he saw her. It made her feel disgusted enough. If it wasn't for the college entrance examination quota, she would have slapped him in the face long ago.
But now is the critical moment, I can't help it, I put on a fake smile and took the scallion pancake and put it back on the plate: "I've eaten it, you guys eat it."
Then he put the wine in his hand in front of the village party secretary: "Secretary Li, I went to the street yesterday and bought two bottles of wine. I know you like to drink a little, so I brought them to you. I heard that this wine is very good and it won't make you drunk."
The village party secretary was very cold: "You are too polite. You should take it back later. Bringing things here at this time will easily cause gossip. I am not just saying this to you. Many educated youth came to see me these past two days, some with meat and some with cloth, and I sent them all back."
He sat up straight, looking upright and said, "I know what you all want to do, but there are only three spots, so the capable ones must go."
Moreover, the village party secretary has become a little flattered by the compliments he has received from these educated youth these past two days.
He now holds the power of life and death over the future of these educated youth!
Xiao Yan didn't expect the village party secretary to say it so bluntly. She was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly: "I know, but I'm not just doing this for the college entrance examination quota. I just feel that you have taken good care of me over the years, and I don't know how to repay you."
Yue Lian suddenly asked, "Xiao Zhiqing, do you have a partner?"
Xiao Yan was halfway through expressing her feelings when Yue Lian asked her this question. She was suddenly stunned: "No? What happened to my sister-in-law?"
Yue Lian looked at her silly son lovingly: "What do you think of my silly cow? Even though he's silly, he still looks very handsome."
