The moment he saw Zhou Guoliang, he grabbed his arm with his big hand, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Is the college entrance examination really officially resumed?"
Before Zhou Guoliang could answer, Niu Liye, who was sitting in the yard, raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "How could it be false?
The People's Daily published it, and we finally have hope of returning to the city."
The faces of those educated youth were pale and they staggered, almost falling down.
He hurriedly ran to the yard and asked, "Can you spare me a set of books?"
Each educated youth held the books in their hands tightly. Li Guihua said a little embarrassedly: "We have been taking turns to review recently, and the books have been distributed just right........."
Seeing their expressions, Wu Zhijie angrily swept the small pile of draft papers on the table to the ground and said, "There are so many sets of books, so what's wrong with giving us one set?
You have already been reviewing for nearly two months in advance, what else do you want?"
Everyone felt uncomfortable after hearing what he said. When they were unwilling to ask for leave, everyone had tried to persuade them.
How can I get angry at them now?
Niu Liye hurried forward. After all, they all went to the countryside together, and he didn't want to make things too awkward.
If there is always someone making trouble like this behind them, they can't concentrate on reviewing.
So he said to everyone: "Everyone think of a way to share a set.
Wu Zhiqing and his friends have a short time to study, and I have my own key points, which I will give to you when the time comes."
Wu Zhijie's emotions finally stabilized, his vertical eyes flashed with a cold light, making people afraid to look at him.
Niu Liye got goose bumps on his arms. He should stay away from such conceited people who always make excuses for themselves.
The educated youth reluctantly divided out a set of books and threw them into the corner impatiently.
Wu Zhijie picked up all the books with a sullen face.
After a brief discussion with a few other educated youth, he walked into his own room.
At the same time, news came from the county that high schools that had been suspended were officially reopened.
Anyone who wants to take the college entrance examination can sign up for the course and only needs to pay a certain fee.
As soon as the news was released, many people rushed to the county.
Zhou Guoliang and Niu Liye came to the brigade headquarters again.
This time, everyone looked at them differently. The accountant and several other junior cadres all greeted them happily.
Completely different from the previous attitude.
Zhou Guoliang was also unwilling to make enemies with others. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, so he also had a smile on his face and called everyone uncle and aunt.
"Captain Lu, we are here to register for the county high school, and we would like you to issue us a certificate."
Captain Lu saw the two high-spirited young men, and the sadness in his brows gradually dissipated a little: "Okay!
It’s just that it didn’t snow in the first half of the month, so it might be easier to walk. But if it snows later and the road is blocked by heavy snow, it will be difficult for you to walk back and forth.”
Zhou Guoliang took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, gently placed it on the table, and said to everyone with a smile: "I heard that the school offers on-campus housing, so we are all planning to do so."
Several people looked at the cigarettes on the table and couldn't help swallowing.
Although their lives have been getting better and better in recent years, there are many children in the family, all of whom need to eat, and there are elderly people and young children to take care of. A pack of cigarettes is equivalent to more than a pound of pork. Who would be willing to spend this money?
Captain Lu put the cigarette in his pocket and quickly wrote out a few letters of introduction: "Here, it's easier to live on campus. Anyway, I'm done with my work now, and I can handle the Liyuan work later.
You are not taking leave, just live peacefully in the county town, study hard, and try to get into a good university."
Niu Liye's eyes were a little hot, and he nodded heavily: "We will!"
When the two men walked away, the accountant came up and rubbed his hands: "Old Lu, give us a puff of that cigarette!"
Captain Lu glared at him: "Didn't you guys criticize me one by one before?"
"Alas, that's because we don't have the foresight you have. If we had known this would happen, we would definitely not have said much."
"That's right, you know, the registered permanent residence of these educated youths is here.
If he really gets admitted to university, our village will benefit greatly!"
"Who said it wasn't? Hey, come and pick one for me!"
Captain Lu gave each person a cigarette and silently put the rest into his own arms.
Humph! Let's see who dares to say anything more about him?
The educated youth carried large and small bags filled with clothes and food, and walked unsteadily towards the village entrance.
At the entrance of the village, Lu Yong was sitting on a tractor, chewing some dry grass in his hand.
Seeing them coming, he hurried forward to help.
"Zhou Zhiqing, have you brought enough food?
When my sister was in high school, she had to bring enough food for half a month and hand it all over to the cafeteria."
Zhou Guoliang smiled and put the package on the tractor: "That's enough, that's enough."
"That's fine. If it's not enough, you can ask someone to send a message. My father said that if it really doesn't work, we can ask the brigade to starve us!"
The educated youth showed gratitude and expressed their thanks one after another.
Lu Yong scratched his head naively and said, "Now that everyone has brought everything, let's go quickly.
I heard that there are a lot of people signing up for the No. 1 Middle School in the county.
If the quota is full, everyone may have to go to No. 2 Middle School.
There are more experienced teachers in No. 1 Middle School than in No. 2 Middle School."
Niu Liye nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let's go!"
When Lu Yong sent the educated youth to the county's No. 1 Middle School, there was already a long queue of people at the entrance.
Everyone was carrying large and small bags, and there were two old teachers sitting there, one on the left and one on the right.
He shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone line up, stop making a fuss, and get in line to register!"
Seeing that the two old teachers looked bookish, they must be important figures in teaching. No one dared to disobey and they all lined up silently.
Lu Yong said to Zhou Guoliang and the others, "Zhou Zhiqing, you go and line up first. I'll watch over your packages here!"
"Thank you very much!"
Zhou Guoliang hurriedly said this and ran into the crowd.
They traveled light, which was much more convenient than those who had to carry large and small bags.
So there were many people behind me carrying big bags, and before I had time to join the team, Niu Liye and the others had already lined up.
Although the old teacher is old, he is very nimble. He quickly registered the people and waved his hand, saying, "All the people on these two pages will be assigned to the same group. Go over there and line up to check your letters of introduction."
As he spoke, he handed two pieces of paper behind him. A young man stood behind him, who quickly took the things, raised his arm and waved everyone to go inside.
