Chapter 146 College Entrance Examination
December 10th.
Primary schools and kindergartens went on holiday early.
Today is the day when candidates applying for university enter the examination hall.
All schools in the area have been turned into makeshift examination halls.
All the workers who graduated from high school in 1974 and entered the garment factories, steel mills, food factories, and many other factories signed up for the exam. Of course, in addition to these people, there were also many people who signed up for the exam.
There were no requirements for academic qualifications or age in the first college entrance examination. In rural areas, a stamp from the production team was required; for workers, a stamp from the factory was required; and if you had just graduated and had no job or had not been sent to the countryside to work, a stamp from the street office was required to allow you to take the exam.
Generally, there will be no difficulty in registering for the exam unless there is a problem with your background.
The factory also held a farewell ceremony, wishing the candidates to be admitted to university.
All the little ones who were on vacation came to the department store.
Wang Dong, Li Guoqing, and Li Tiedan knew that Zhao Peng and Zhao Xuanxuan were there. As for their younger brothers and sisters at home, they were still young and couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they possibly take care of the little ones at home who still needed care.
"Just play outside the door, or I'll beat you to death."
Zhao Yi said with a stern face when he saw these little guys.
In Zhao Yi's yard, Zhao Yi built a swing, a see-saw, and a ping-pong table, all of which were made by a carpenter using wooden boards. Sometimes his colleagues from the department store would go over to play for a while after get off work.
It is just to make it convenient for the two children at home to not run around everywhere.
The little ones nodded and walked towards home.
After a while, Zhao Dahai and Li Daju arrived at the repair shop.
Both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Mom and Dad."
Zhao Yi saw the two of them and greeted them.
The two of them came to send Zhao Yong and Zhao Xiaoxiao to the examination room. Zhao had just gotten married and his child was only a month old, so naturally he had no time to take the exam and didn't want to make any effort.
Both husband and wife are working.
Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yong had not yet married, and their performance was pretty good at the beginning.
The two did not talk about these things with Zhao Yi, knowing that Zhao Yi did not want to talk about them.
The main purpose was to see Zhao Peng and Zhao Xuanxuan. Without chatting with Zhao Yi for a few words, he went to Zhao Yi's yard.
At this time, the sound of several little kids laughing could be heard in the yard. Zhao Xuanxuan was sitting on the swing, swinging on the rag doll given to her by her aunt Li Mingzhu.
A few wild boys are playing table tennis.
Seeing their grandparents, the two little guys hurried over.
"Xuan girl, look what grandma brought you. This is the mung bean cake that grandma bought for you."
Seeing the yard full of little ones, Li Daju carried Zhao Xuanxuan into the living room and whispered, signaling Zhao Xuanxuan to eat quietly.
Zhao Dahai took out a few spinning tops from his pocket.
I don't know where I found a tire, I peeled off some rubber strips from it, and taught Zhao Peng how to play with a spinning top.
When Zhao Yi, Zhao Gang, Zhao Yong and Zhao Dahai were young, they didn't have the free time. They just helped make spinning tops and rattan sticks.
Several little kids who were playing table tennis immediately gathered around and wanted to try the spinning top.
Zhao Dahai gave away the three spinning tops in his hand, and walked towards the blacksmith shop again. Soon, he came back with two iron rings.
Zhao Yi from the repair shop naturally saw all of this.
At this time, a few little kids were playing spinning tops in front of Zhao Yi's shop.
"Dabao."
"grandfather."
Seeing the iron flower in Zhao Dahai's hand, Zhao Peng became even happier. He handed the whip to Li Guoqing and hugged Zhao Dahai's thigh.
The two little ones are so happy following Zhao Dahai and Li Daju, and there are always endless stories for them to tell from their grandparents.
He would never beat them and would always save the delicious food for them.
In less than two minutes, Zhao Peng learned the new game.
Zhao Dahai was very happy looking at the happy faces of the little ones. He sat in Zhao Yi's shop and looked outside with a smile.
"Don't you guys plant anything on the hillside opposite?"
Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
The opposite hillside is behind Zhao Yi's courtyard. It was originally a wasteland, and when you dug a hoe on it, it was all covered with stones. Now Zhao Yi has piled up mud everywhere to make four or five acres of land as a vegetable garden.
The better places have already been planted.
"Grow some vegetables when the weather is warm."
Zhao Yi nodded in response.
Originally, farming was not allowed, but everyone around was farming, and there was no regulation on who farmed it, so naturally no one would pursue the matter. Anyone who wanted to eat the vegetables could pick them, but this didn't happen, as everyone picked from their own vegetable gardens.
After a while, Zhang Jing came back from get off work.
"You are so happy, have you been promoted to workshop director?"
Zhao Yi joked.
"I can't believe I'm promoted to director. There are so many documents and so many workers to manage. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."
Zhang Jing smiled and handed the pork ticket to Zhao Yi.
This is the monthly pork ticket for the garment factory. Zhao Yi took the ticket and saw that it was one or two more pounds than before.
No wonder Zhang Jing smiled so happily.
Zhang Jing glanced at her son, who was rolling the hoop and sweating profusely, and nodded with a smile.
"This bastard is so well behaved at home."
After saying that, he walked into the yard, and when he entered the living room, he saw Zhao Xuanxuan eating snacks.
Zhang Jing felt a little amused. Her mother-in-law was just like that.
Not to mention Wang Dong and Li Guoqing who are outsiders, Li Tiedan is his relative, but he doesn't even know to share some of these things with others.
When the two little ones go to Wang Jianguo’s or Li Chao’s house, they eat whatever the other children eat.
Zhang Jing walked into the room, took out snacks for the two little ones and her favorite pastries, walked out of the yard, waved to the little ones, and divided the food equally among them.
Li Daju didn't care what Zhang Jing did, she would definitely not divide it.
He took the snacks that Zhao Xuanxuan couldn't finish to her room, whispered something in her ear, and hid the snacks.
"I know, grandma."
Zhao Xuanxuan nodded, took Li Daju's hand and walked back to the living room.
"I don't know if Xiaoxiao can get into university."
"Auntie can pass the exam."
Zhao Xuanxuan immediately responded.
Li Daju often comes here and takes Zhao Xuanxuan to Zhao Xiaoxiao's dormitory. The little girl naturally knows her aunt.
At this time, Zhao Yi also followed Zhao Dahai into the house.
"Then can you pass the exam?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
"able."
Zhao Xuanxuan nodded her head and said.
“My granddaughter is just ambitious.”
Li Daju smiled particularly happily.
As soon as the meal was ready, the mother of the little ones came over and soon walked towards home, twisting the ears of the little ones who didn't want to go home.
As a result, not long after he finished his meal, he ran over with a smile on his face.
"Are you not afraid of being beaten by your mother for coming here again?"
Zhao Yi joked.
"Uncle, my mother's beatings don't hurt."
Li Tiedan happily held the spinning top and smiled.
The other two little ones also nodded in agreement, saying that it didn't hurt at all when their mother hit them.
