Chapter 1833 Returning Things to Their Origin 1
Wanglou Brigade has produced many talents and has developed well. In recent years, it has almost become a weather vane for the entire commune.
After hearing from people in their brigade that the country might resume the college entrance examination, the Wanglou Brigade has now begun to review its lessons in a planned manner and work part-time. Some educated youth from other brigades believed it and began to write letters home requesting that textbooks and review materials be sent to them. Some people did not believe it and began to make sarcastic remarks, ready to make fun of the Wanglou Brigade.
The college entrance examination has been suspended for a full ten years. Even though the Group of Four has been crushed, life has not completely returned to peace. In these years, admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University has relied entirely on recommendations, and only students with good backgrounds are selected. Is it useful to spend all your time reviewing your lessons and preparing for the college entrance examination?
In addition to grades, admission to high school also depends on class background, not to mention university? People with poor class backgrounds definitely have no chance.
Therefore, the outside world is not optimistic about the Wanglou Brigade's emphasis on learning over the years, especially the recent opening of review classes. Instead of putting in this effort, they would be better off doing more work and earning more work points to avoid going hungry next year.
Feng Qingxue didn't care about the outside world's doubts about this matter. Those who were willing to believe it were seizing the opportunity and increasing their chances of passing the exam. Those who were unwilling to believe it was their own fault for missing the opportunity.
The people in Wanglou Team didn't care at all. For the past twenty or thirty years, they had always listened to the team leader. Wang Zhengguo and Feng Qingxue would not harm them anyway. The Lu family's children, Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu and his wife, were in review classes. Although they didn't go there many times because of their good grades, it represented the Lu family's attention to them.
So, the members of Wanglou Brigade went to work as needed, collected firewood as needed, went to school as needed, and took out their high school textbooks.
Most of the educated youth directly asked their families to buy college entrance examination review materials and send them to them, and they studied late into the night with great enthusiasm.
They are more eager to return to the city than anyone else. Instead of waiting for the chance to return to the city which never comes to Wanglou Team, they might as well trust Feng Qingxue and rely on their own efforts and study to pass the exam!
Although they did not return to the city, they had the opportunity to visit their relatives and were well aware of the situation where some educated youth who returned to the city were not accepted by their families.
Because of the advance preparation and ample time, and because more than 150 of the more than 200 people only have junior high school education, they have forgotten a lot of knowledge and are very eager to learn. Several senior professors in charge of the review class value talent and decided to start teaching from the basics after two days of discussion. However, there were not enough textbooks, so often three or five people shared a set, or copied from each other. Fortunately, adults have much better comprehension ability than teenagers, and they progress very quickly. I believe that by the time the college entrance examination news comes out, they will have fully understood the contents of junior and senior high school textbooks.
Without experiencing this era, it is difficult to understand students' thirst for knowledge and the importance of knowledge in their lives. This completely proves the saying "knowledge changes destiny."
Wang Zhengguo and Lu's father discussed how to solve the divorce issue that might occur when the educated youth returned to the city, while Feng Qingxue looked for a reason to go to Shanghai.
A ready-made excuse, the review class lacks study materials, but the Xinhua Bookstore in Shanghai has them, so she wants to go there. The materials she took out are not many, because she only has a suitcase when she goes home, how many books can she put in it? There are a lot of books in the space, but it's a pity that they are not suitable for taking out. It would be better to buy a batch from Shanghai or go to the scrap yard to find some and bring them back. When the time comes, not only will the review class of Wanglou Brigade use them, but other schools will also come to borrow and copy them. I always hope that there will be more talents in my hometown.
When the children heard their mother say they were going to Shanghai, they immediately became interested and clamored to go together.
