Chapter 155: College Entrance Examination Resumed

Time flies, and it is already 8507. The college entrance

examination, which had been suspended for 10 years, was resumed. When the news spread, young intellectuals all over the country rushed to bookstores to buy books and entered into intense review. In

a certain garrison unit, squad leader Xiao Ding came to the family yard carrying a large package, followed by five little soldiers.

Zhou Jianghai was playing with his son in the yard.

"Battalion commander, your family sent something again, so I brought it here."

Zhou Jianghai looked at the address and saw that it was sent from Yaoshui Village. He shouted to the house: "Bailing, come out quickly, my second sister-in-law sent us something again."

Lu Bailing came out and saw his son happily jumping around the package.

"That's great, my second aunt sent me delicious food again!"

Mrs. Zhou came out of the house, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and handed it to Lu Bailing.

After opening the package, it was full of various snacks.

Lu Bailing looked at the five heads sticking out of the gate of the yard and waved at them.

The little soldiers ran over happily.

Lu Bailing grabbed a handful of small cookies for each of them, and took a bag to pack some more for them to take to share with their comrades.

"Second sister-in-law dotes on Zhibang too much.

She always sends these snacks." Mrs. Zhou said, "Your second sister-in-law dotes on you. When you didn't have Zhibang, she often sent you snacks."

Lu Bailing was very happy to be remembered by others.

There was also a letter in the package. Lu Bailing opened it and read the letter, then looked at Zhou Jianghai.

"What's wrong, Bailing? What happened at home?"

Lu Bailing shook her head: "Everything is fine at home. It was my second sister-in-law who asked me to take the college entrance examination."

"When you were studying, your grades were so good, of course I should take it."

"But I'm married and have children. If you really pass the exam, you have to go to school. What about you, the child, and grandma? Who will take care of you?"

Grandma Zhou took her grandson and said, "Just go and take the exam. If you pass, it will bring honor to our Zhou family. I will help take care of the child. Although I am old, I am still very strong."

After Lu Bailing graduated from high school, the two got married and brought Grandma Zhou to the army.

Over the years, the second sister-in-law has been telling her not to give up studying, and she has obeyed and done so.

Even with a child, she would still take time to study.

Second sister-in-law said that it would be useful one day.

As soon as the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced, Shen Jiale wrote to her and asked her to study hard.

She also said that she and Gu Siyuan would also participate, and the three of them would compete to see who would do better. Suddenly, Lu Bailing's desire to win was aroused.

"Then I'll try."

Zhou Jianghai immediately went to buy books for Lu Bailing.

...

Yaoshui Village.

Jiang Haoran was holding a child in his arms, carrying another on his back, and reading a book in his hand.

A little girl ran in crying and hugged his legs: "Dad, I want toys, buy me toys quickly."

Jiang Haoran impatiently hit the little girl with a book: "Go find your mother."

The little girl cried with snot and tears: "Mom only cares about the little brother in her belly and ignores me."

In the past few years, Chen Dachun has given birth to three daughters one after another, and now she is pregnant with another.

Jiang Haoran wakes up every day with the crying of children. He has long been tired of such a life, but he can't get rid of such a life.

The commune seems to have forgotten that there is a person like him in the quota for returning to the city. The resumption of the college entrance examination is his only chance to seize, and he can't lose it again.

The child in her arms also started to cry. Chen Daya came over with an unhappy face and accused: "Waste, you can't even take care of a child, what else can you do! Go and cook, Dachun is hungry."

Chen Daya always boasted in front of Liang Qiaoli, saying that Chen Dachun's second child was a boy, but it turned out to be a girl.

Later, Zhou Min gave birth to another son, and Shen Jiale gave birth to a pair of twin sons, slapping Chen Daya in the face.

The Chen family gave birth to three girls in a row, causing Chen Daya to dare not appear in front of Liang Qiaoli.

Now, Chen Daya is counting on her daughter to do well in this pregnancy and give birth to a son, so that she can be proud and straighten her back.

Jiang Haoran went out to cook. Chen Daya saw the books on the table, picked them up and flipped through them, and then took all the books away.

After dinner, after washing the dishes, Jiang Haoran went into the house to read and found that all the books were gone. He hurriedly asked Chen Dachun.

Chen Dachun said he didn't see them.

Chen Daya said, "There is no toilet paper at home, so I took it to the toilet."

"Mom, those are the books I bought with great difficulty for review. How could you take them to the toilet? Give them to me quickly!"

Chen Daya's face turned cold: "Everything in this house belongs to our Chen family. You are useless. You can't even give birth to a son, and you still want to learn from others to go to college. Don't be so delusional."

Jiang Haoran asked Chen Dachun for help: "Dachun, if I get into college, I will have subsidies and a job in the future. Maybe I can even become an official and take you and the children to the city to enjoy life. , isn't it better than staying in the countryside? Please help me persuade my mother to return the book to me. "

Chen Dachun was very moved and said to Chen Daya, "Mom, just give it to him and let him try once. If it doesn't work, then forget it."

Chen Daya went to the room unwillingly and took out the book: "What's wrong with staying in the countryside? There are so many girls in our village who want to marry into the countryside."

Jiang Haoran took the book and found that several pages of one of the books had been torn. He was very distressed, but he didn't dare to criticize it.

...

It was already midnight, and the lights in every dormitory room of Yaoshui Village Primary School were still on.

Zhao Meili was still studying hard. Fang Chuanshui poured a cup of hot water on the table and said, "Go to bed early. You have classes tomorrow morning."

Zhao Meili said without raising her head, "You go to bed first. I'll watch for a while and then go to bed."

Next door, Han Fei and Yan Xiaohua, and Jin Shengli and Cao Xiaoqing, were also studying late into the night. Everyone wanted to seize this opportunity to change their fate.

Some people saw the opportunity right in front of them, but their families did not support them.

Li Mei lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Today, she mentioned to her husband that she wanted to buy some books to review, but was rejected.

Her husband told her to stop struggling and take good care of the baby.

If she had known that the college entrance examination could be restored, she would never choose to get married.

That year, she and Wu Li lost the quota to return to the city. After that, Wu Li returned to the city the following year, but she was not selected.

In the same year, Yan Xiaohua married Han Fei and Cao Xiaoqing married Jin Shengli. She saw no hope of returning to the city, so she married a villager the year before last and gave birth to a boy. Now

she is pregnant. It is indeed inappropriate for her to take the college entrance examination while she is pregnant, but she really doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Touching her belly, Li Mei closed her eyes and made a decision.
