"That's easy! We can apply to the same university, or if that doesn't work, we can go to the same city."
"That way, our whole family can be together again, and we won't have to be separated."
Song Lili's thinking was simple: if you want to be together, there are always ways.
If they really have gone out, then the chances of them coming back are slim.
Therefore, it would be better to take this opportunity to bring Zhang Shengtian out as well, so that he can get used to city life.
Anyway, leaving Zhang Shengtian alone in Hongqi Village is not a good idea, let alone for Zhang Qinghua and his brother. Even she felt it wouldn't work.
That's why she said that.
"Is this...okay?" To be honest, everyone was quite interested.
Zhang Qingguo, in particular, seemed to come alive.
I never imagined things could be resolved this way.
Why didn't he think of that before?
Then there's Lin Xue. When she heard that Zhang Qingguo wasn't taking the exam because of her and her child, she felt guilty and remorseful.
I was thinking that maybe we should separate. It would only be a few years, and we could be together once Qingguo graduated.
Now, Song Lili has brought up another possibility, which has piqued her interest, but also made her a little apprehensive. Can she really do it?
Zhang Qinghua's heart also stirred. Could this really be done?
Only Song Lili thought this was a good idea; everyone else was uneasy.
Song Lili was confident that she could make a name for herself and was not worried about the cost, which is why she came up with such a bold idea.
But I have to admit, it's really tempting.
Finally, Zhang Qinghua said, "I think this method is quite good."
At least, he doesn't have to worry about what to do if something happens at home.
It's so good to have family around.
"Will this really work?" Zhang Shengtian wondered.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Since Qingguo is willing to take the exam, let's take it and talk about the final results later."
There's still almost a year left; we can think things through clearly.
The others remained silent. Indeed, there was no news about the college entrance examination at the moment, so their comments were pointless and unnecessary.
Let's wait for the news to come out before making any decisions.
Song Lili felt that just a few months had flown by, even though they had just said they had plenty of time.
Time flies, and soon it will be time for farmers to have some free time again.
It was at this moment that the village loudspeaker blared, announcing the news Zhang Qinghua had been eagerly awaiting.
The college entrance examination has resumed, and the exam will be held in two months.
The happiest people upon hearing this news were none other than the educated youth.
The revolution was over, and they couldn't go back. This college entrance examination was the best way for them to return to the city.
So, no matter who it was, they all burst into tears of joy.
Zhang Qinghua simply let out a slow breath, and finally, he received the news.
Although he already knew from Lili that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in the future, he was still uneasy without hearing any specific details.
Now, I can finally relax.
Then, I felt fortunate and grateful.
Thanks to Lili, who has been encouraging him and telling him not to give up on his textbooks. Otherwise, what can he do in just two months?
Fortunately, they had plenty of time to review beforehand, so they felt confident and at ease.
This time, the chances are pretty good.
That evening, everyone sat together in the main room of the Zhang family home.
"Qingguo, Qinghua, and Lili, how's your reading going?" Zhang Shengtian asked, stroking his beard.
He felt smug, thinking that his children had started preparing a year ago, giving them much more time than others, and thus more confidence this time.
Zhang Qinghua nodded, "That's about it." He was being modest, not making any definitive statements.
Song Lili pouted. "It's not just about the same, it's practically like he's always ready."
He had read the set of books that Qian Liulin had sent him at least twice. He remembered all the questions in them, and he could find the answers to any questions as quickly as possible.
Then there's Zhang Qingguo, another hidden academic genius. Although he's not as exceptional as Zhang Qinghua, he's just as good.
Only Song Lili was so-so, but she was much more familiar with the people than the others.
So, feeling guilty, I didn't dare to say anything.
Compared to the two top students around her, she, a mediocre student, shouldn't embarrass herself.
Zhang Shengtian was overjoyed. "Haha, that's good, that's good."
In my heart, there is always a sense of lofty ambition, pride, and honor.
Look, this is his child.
After this year's college entrance exam, I'm sure others will be envious for a long time.
Thinking about it, Zhang Shengtian felt smug.
Three college students from one family—just thinking about it is exciting!
Although Lin Xue didn't say anything, the smile on her lips indirectly showed that she was in a good mood.
From that day on, the educated youth stopped working in the fields and stayed at home, studying with all their might to prepare for the college entrance examination.
The Zhang brothers, Qinghua and Qingguo, are doing just as well, studying every day as before.
Song Lili is the kind of person who only studies sporadically, avoiding studying whenever possible.
However, sometimes when she saw Zhang Qinghua and the other person like this, she always felt a little embarrassed.
I couldn't help but sigh. I heard that people who took the college entrance exam after it was reinstated all loved learning and wanted to spend every day immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
She initially thought it was an exaggeration; after all, when it comes to studying, some people like it, and naturally some people don't.
But looking at Zhang Qinghua and his brothers, and then at the other educated youth working late into the night, she suddenly felt that she might have been wrong.
A special era has created a special group of people.
This group of people, as long as they can pick up a book to study, will study with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and will not waste a single second.
Someone like her is actually special.
Later, she toned it down a bit and unconsciously blended into the atmosphere, studying and working hard.
Sometimes, as she studies, she can feel a surge of emotion within her, as if she were a native of this era.
We shared their excitement, their anticipation, their struggles, and their efforts.
It was all for that idea I'd been longing for for years, for that ideal in my heart.
Song Lili sometimes thinks to herself with a touch of self-deprecation that being with this group of people is like being cleansed and purified.
For the next two months, Hongqi Village will maintain this atmosphere, and one can imagine that other places will likely be similar.
Time always flows like water, rushing by quickly when you're in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it's gone forever.
Not long after the news spread, people came down to verify qualifications and take charge of the preparations for the exam.
I have a feeling that the college entrance examination is just around the corner, it's right in front of me.
