The next day, two letters were mailed from the military supply and marketing cooperative's mail drop-off point.
In the Northwest, Mr. and Mrs. Wen received a letter from their daughter and burst into tears!
At the educated youth point, Xie Sufang received a heart-warming letter and jumped up and down in her arms while hugging her man. Her little daughter was so happy that she also jumped up and down with him!
Finally, this day has finally arrived!
On October 12, 1977, the State Council officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination!
October 21, 1977, spread across the country!
Wawu Village Loudspeaker: All workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or returned home, demobilized soldiers, cadres and high school graduates who meet the enrollment requirements can voluntarily sign up...
"Ah! Ah! The college entrance examination has been resumed! The college entrance examination has been resumed!"
Similar cheers rang out across the country!
At the educated youth site in Wawu Village, apart from the new educated youth who have arrived in recent years, only Yang Zhijun, Wang Hongjun and Li Qiang are still staying. Wang Hongqi also married a girl from the village a year ago. They were in a free love relationship and live happily together.
On the evening of the broadcast, several people gathered at Zhang Hongliang's house, even Wang Hongqi came.
"Great, great, the college entrance examination has been resumed! It's finally resumed!"
“We can go to college!”
"Woohoo, I've finally been waiting for this!"
Li Qiang squatted on the ground with his face covered and cried. When Liu Xiaoling returned to the city, Li Qiang was depressed for half a year before he recovered. Last year, Liu Xiaoling wrote to say that she was married, and Li Qiang didn't say a word for three days.
"Woo woo, if it was Xiaoling, Xiaoling was there too..."
"well……"
No one spoke. Zhang Hongliang went over and patted Li Qiang on the shoulder. Everyone tacitly gave him a few minutes to vent his frustration!
Ten minutes later, Li Qiang wiped away his tears and made a secret decision in his heart that this was the last time he would have an emotional breakdown and he would start a new life from now on!
"Well, thanks to Xiao Nuan, we have all persisted in studying over the past few years. Now we will see the light soon. Let's go sign up together tomorrow, and then we will come back to arrange the work. Fortunately, the only thing left is to plant winter wheat. After that, we must go all out to study and strive to pass the exam!"
"right!"
“I must pass the exam!”
"From now on, I will study two more hours every night!"
"Yes, study more before going to bed!"
Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang looked at the excited people in front of them and smiled at each other. They had finally waited for something!
Far away in the northwest, Wen's father and mother were picking up stones in the wasteland when suddenly...
"Wen Shichu, Zhu Yahui, someone is looking for you, come here quickly!"
Wen Shichu and Zhu Yahui raised their bodies and saw the person in charge of watching them calling them at the edge of the field. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry.
Wen Shichu calmed himself down, walked over and held Zhu Yahui's arm, "Let's go and take a look. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Hey," Zhu Yahui hid the worry in her eyes, and the two of them supported each other and walked towards the end of the field.
"Let's go, the comrades are waiting for you in the office!"
Mr. and Mrs. Wen followed the person in charge to the office tremblingly, full of worry.
When they arrived at the office, a man in a black Lenin suit came forward and shook Father Wen's hand. "Hello, Teacher Wen, I am from the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau. Your case has been investigated clearly by the organization. You are wronged, so I was sent here to pick you up and take Teacher Wen back to continue to work as a high school teacher. Of course, Comrade Zhu's case has also been investigated clearly, and he has been reinstated!"
"You, what did you say?" Dad Wen looked at Mom Wen blankly, then turned around and asked the man again.
This person had already taken several teachers back home, so he naturally understood what was wrong with Mr. Wen and patiently repeated what he had just said.
"Yahui, Yahui, did you hear that? We, we can go back!"
"I heard it, I heard it, we can go back, woo woo..."
"Dad, Mom, did you hear that? We were wronged. We can go back, but you..."
Mr. and Mrs. Wen could no longer bear the grievances they had suffered over the years, and they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The comrade from the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau looked at this scene and felt tears in his eyes. He had learned about Wen's father and mother before coming here. Of course, he knew Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen, who were famous professors at Beijing University. What a pity, what a pity...
The people in the office did not urge the two grieving people, allowing them to vent their grievances.
Half an hour later, Father and Mother Wen's emotions gradually stabilized. "Comrade, when are we leaving?"
"We are leaving now. I have already bought the train tickets and the sleeper berths. Your property and the wages of the past few years will be compensated to you after you return, so you don't need to bring some unnecessary luggage, so that we can travel light!"
The comrades from the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau had already taken over several people, so they naturally knew their living environment and the things they used, so they added one more sentence.
Wen's father and mother nodded. Although their daughter had subsidized them a lot in private over the past few years, most of it was food, drinks, quilts and clothes. They were not very good at making them feel guilty, so there was really no need to take some things.
Wen's father and mother supported each other back to the small thatched hut where they had lived for nearly ten years. They packed up the few clothes they had and gave away some food and drinks that they could not take away to their neighbors. Finally, they left with the comrades from Beijing amid the envious gazes of the people around them.
Wen Nuan didn't receive a letter from Wen's parents until a month later. By then, Wen's parents had already returned to Beijing and settled down. The four confiscated properties were also returned, and Wen's parents each subsidized her salary by 5,000 yuan.
Along with the letter came a remittance slip for two thousand yuan. Wen's father and mother said it was a gift for their three beloved grandchildren.
Moreover, in the letter, Wen's father and mother hoped that Wen Nuan could apply to a university in Beijing so that the family could be reunited and they could also help Wen Nuan see the children.
Wen Nuan had long wanted to apply to a university in Beijing, and she wanted to be a teacher in the future, so she decided to apply to a normal university.
Wang Xiaomei didn't have much confidence in herself, and she didn't know which school to apply to. After Wen Nuan analyzed the situation for her, she decided to apply to the same school as Wen Nuan.
In order to allow her daughter-in-law and daughter to prepare for the exam, Yang Chunhua packed her luggage and went to the army after planting winter wheat. She took over all matters concerning her three grandchildren so that her daughter-in-law and daughter could concentrate on preparing for the exam.
Lin Yiman’s mother also came and fully supported her daughter’s college entrance examination!
Several families in the family quarters had students who were going to take the college entrance examination, so the quarters became much quieter in the two months before the exam. Sister Ma, the women's director, even prepared a flat and warm place to gather all the children together to play, striving to create an absolutely quiet environment for all those who were going to take the college entrance examination!
Just when everyone was going all out, the college entrance examination began...
