"Great, I can take the test, I'm qualified to take the test!"
"My son Gangzi is graduating from junior high school this year. It seems he won't be able to take the exam."
Someone couldn't help but complain, "Gangzi just graduated from junior high school, why are you in such a hurry? It's not like he'll take the exam this year and not take it later."
Someone hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask Qin Youfu a question.
"Captain, do we need to consider our background when registering for the college entrance examination?" The young man who asked the question had a cautious look on his face. He was the child of one of the "five black categories" and had received a good education before. Naturally, he was eager to go to college now.
But...are people of their background qualified to take the college entrance examination?
This question...
Qin Youfu paused, then answered him seriously, "The document regarding the resumption of the college entrance examination specifically mentioned this point. It stated that the political review of students' eligibility to take the exam will focus primarily on their performance, not solely on their class background. So, there is a chance."
"Really?" The man couldn't believe it, his eyes red. "Is it really possible?"
"It's true."
"Great! Great! I can also take the exam. People like me also have the opportunity to take the exam!" He cheered loudly, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions that had been suppressed over the years.
"Captain, I would like to ask, can married educated youth also take the college entrance examination?" Someone asked this question out of the blue.
Qin Youfu frowned, but still said: "Since there is no special notice that you cannot sign up, it should be possible."
"That's fine, that's fine." The man muttered to himself, having already made a decision in his heart.
Everyone had different thoughts. Some people were worried about the exam date. "The exam is in December, but it's already October. With only a little over a month left, will I really have time to review?"
The speaker was an educated young man. They had been in Luoshui Village for several years. Many of them had fallen into despair and abandoned their studies since arriving here. It was naturally extremely difficult for them to pick it up again now.
This question is also on the minds of many people, but even so, everyone will rush to sign up, because this is their only chance, and whether they succeed or not, they have to give it a try.
They were so ecstatic that their hearts and eyes were filled with the flat and wide road in front of them. Some of them had forgotten that they had been here for many years and their roots were left here.
The Su family was also very excited. Being able to take the college entrance examination meant that their children would have the opportunity to go to college.
"Yunyun, did you hear that?" Wu Guixiang came out of the house, "The college entrance examination has been resumed, you can take the college entrance examination!" She didn't know that Su Qingyun had once rejected the admission invitation from the president of Huaqing University, so she was naturally happy for her granddaughter.
"I heard it, grandma." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
Wu Guixiang's face was filled with joy. "This is really great! Now when Suisui and Chunchun grow up, they can also go to college."
Chunchun is the fat son just born to Su Qingyun’s third sister-in-law Wu Shuhui. He is only over a month old and his full name is Su Yi.
Su Qingyun twitched the corner of her mouth, "Grandma, aren't you thinking too far ahead?"
One of the two children was born not long ago, and the other is less than one year old, but my grandmother is already worrying about their college entrance examinations. I wonder if they feel an inexplicable pressure when they are breastfeeding?
"Not far, not far. The child grows up in the blink of an eye." Wu Guixiang said seriously.
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, do you think that with the policy of resuming the college entrance examination, will my third brother want to take the exam?"
In their family, except for her eldest brother who graduated from junior high school, her second and third brothers all graduated from high school and are eligible to take the college entrance examination. Let’s not talk about her second brother who is far away in the military camp, but the main thing is the third brother. Will he have the idea of taking the college entrance examination?
Wu Guixiang was stunned for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Your third brother is married with children now. He should make his own decisions. If he wants to take the exam, we support him. If he doesn't want to, he can just work and live peacefully."
Su Qingyun looked at her grandmother with eyes full of emotion. If it were other parents of this era, they would basically say that he is now married with children and has a stable job, so it is better to be stable and not think about those unrealistic things.
Although her grandmother usually dislikes her third brother, she still respects his decisions at critical moments, whether it was when they got married before or now.
Su Qingyun sighed deeply. Her grandmother was indeed one of the few open-minded people in this era. It can be seen from the fact that she let all four children go to school that her grandmother's vision was much broader than others.
As she was sighing, the courtyard gate opened and Qin Ying came back in a daze, stumbling a little as she walked.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Qingyun was startled.
"Yunyun, the college entrance examination has been resumed, the college entrance examination has been resumed!" Qin Ying kept repeating this sentence with misty eyes, and his whole body was in great shock.
She ran back from school after hearing the broadcast.
"Mom, calm down." Su Qingyun was a little anxious.
Wu Guixiang was also frightened. "Third brother's wife, please sit down first. What's wrong with you? The resumption of the college entrance examination has nothing to do with you."
"I can't calm down." Qin Ying covered her face with her hands, tears streaming from between her fingers.
No one understood how she felt now. She was one of the first educated youth to go to the countryside to support construction. At that time, it was 1956, and she was only 18 years old. She lost the opportunity to go to college. After she got married and had children, the college entrance examination was also abolished. She had no way to go to college at all. Over the years, she had woken up countless times in the middle of the night, sitting in the university classroom of her dreams, listening to the teacher's lectures.
Today, the college entrance examination has finally been resumed. Countless educated young people like her who went to the countryside have a chance. They have the opportunity to enter university and return home. Her dream is finally coming true. It's a pity that in the dream, she is not in that bright and spacious classroom.
Qin Ying squatted on the ground, unable to calm down for a long time. "Yunyun, you can go to college now, you can go to college now."
She kept muttering to herself, as if her daughter could finally fulfill her childhood dream on her behalf. At this time, Qin Ying completely forgot that even if the college entrance examination had not been resumed, her daughter would have had the opportunity to go to college, but she had refused it herself.
Su Qingyun squatted down and patted her mother's back gently, "Mom, it's not me who can go to college, it's us, it's us who can go to college."
"What did you say?" Qin Ying's crying stopped abruptly and she raised her head suddenly.
Wu Guixiang was also stunned. How could the third son’s wife go to college?
