I have to say, seafood has to be eaten fresh. The shrimp meat is particularly elastic, and the clear soup base made with sea cucumbers and mushrooms is especially delicious when used to blanch vegetables.
After Liao Tingming and Qi Jianping found out that Wang Shuning had returned from Beijing, he came here in casual clothes after training in the morning.
When they reached the gate of the yard, they immediately saw Wang Shuning sitting at the gate eating.
Liao Tingming: "Teacher Wang."
Qi Jianping: "Comrade Wang Shuning."
Wang Shuning looked at the two in astonishment, "Why are you here?"
Liao Tingming squeezed in and stepped in front of Qi Jianping, and said to Wang Shuning with a smile: "I knew you were back, so I came to see you."
Qi Jianping had no choice but to push Liao Tingming away, "I just happened to meet Captain Liao on the way."
Noticing the change in title, Wang Shuning glanced at the military ranks on the collars of the two men. Not only had Liao Tingming's rank been promoted, but Qi Jianping's as well.
The two of them left after sitting for a while, and Wang Shuning did not invite them to have dinner. She did not want to waste time on something that was destined to have no results and give others hope.
After school started, Wang Shuning would enter the space to pick things whenever he had time, both on his way to and from work. There were so many antique calligraphy and paintings stolen from the Lighthouse Country that he recorded them all in a booklet when sorting them out to prevent himself from forgetting what they were after a long time.
He would go back to Beijing to find Tao Zhongxiao during the summer and winter vacations every year to sell all the fruits and grains.
During the two years, Song's mother arranged several blind dates for her but none of them worked out. Liao Tingming was promoted again and transferred from Jinshan Island to another place to manage the army.
Qi Jianping was recommended by the army to study at a military academy.
After spending three years on Jinshan Island, the principal of the island's primary school came to talk to her.
"Teacher Wang, you have performed very well in the three years on the island. Yihe Town called and asked if you would like to be transferred back."
Wang Shuning blinked, was silent for two seconds, then shook his head and replied: "I think Jinshan Island is great, and I don't want to go back for the time being."
The principal smiled and kept the student in school. "In that case, how about I transfer your household registration from Yihe Town? I will give you some suggestions on your salary."
Wang Shuning agreed.
When Song Guiying retired, she wrote a letter asking her youngest daughter to come back and take over, but was rejected by Wang Shuning.
She wrote back to tell Song's mother that the country might resume the college entrance examination in a year and she wanted to take it and go to college.
Song Guiying was skeptical about the news, but when she thought about her little daughter being on the island and the army being able to get hold of the secret information, she calmed down and decided not to go to Jinshan Island to bring her daughter back.
Wang Shuning is already 24 years old this year and has not yet married. Not only is Song's mother anxious, but even her father Wang Jianguo has been particularly worried about her life-long affairs in the past two years.
But the younger daughter had a strong personality and would not listen to anyone. She went on dozens of blind dates but failed because she either thought the other party was not good enough or she just didn't like him. In the end, no matchmaker in the South City Courtyard introduced anyone to her anymore.
It is said that it is difficult to get money from the matchmaker of the Wang family's youngest daughter because the girl has too high standards.
It was not until October 1977 that the country’s policy of resuming the college entrance examination was announced, which immediately caused a sensation.
The exam is scheduled in December, leaving only two months to review.
The educated youth who went to the countryside began to look for books in a hurry to prepare for the exam.
Dafeng Village, Yihe Town, Chaoyang County, D City.
Zhang Meili held the newspaper in her hand in a daze, looking at the children playing in the yard, and silently stuffed the newspaper into the stove and burned it.
Guo Jingyi stared at Lv Beichu and asked, "Beichu, don't you want to take the college entrance examination?"
Lv Beichu smiled and shook his head. "It's good to work in the factory now. If I go to school, what will happen to you and the child?"
Two years ago, the person in charge of the state-owned restaurant in Yihe Town was replaced, and Guo Jingyi was invited by the new boss to be the chef in the restaurant.
Through Guo Jingyi's relationship, Lu Beichu went to work in a factory in Yihe Town in less than a year.
Guo Jingyi, who was a chef, never thought about going to college. She waited for another year for the reform and opening up. In 1979, she could register as an individual business owner, and two years later she could open a restaurant. However, after graduating from college, she still had to work, and the money she earned was far less than what she could earn by opening a restaurant.
Wang Shuning, who had been fully prepared for this, was not panicked at all.
There are three other young teachers on Jinshan Island who are also taking the exam. One of them, like Wang Shuning, is single, and the other two are male teachers who are already married.
In October, Wang Shuning took a boat to Dashan City to take the college entrance examination. In order to wait for the admission letter, she spent the New Year on the island for the first time.
On January 18, 1978, three names were suddenly announced on the island radio.
Wang Shuning ran to the school excitedly, and the principal was sitting in the office looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Principal, has the admission letter arrived?"
The other two tried hard to suppress their inner anxiety.
The principal stood up and handed them the three admission letters that were locked in the drawer. "The postman just delivered them half an hour ago. Congratulations! You can go to college now."
Wang Shuning opened the admission letter. She was admitted to Huajing University's major in foreign trade.
Looking at the bright red official seal, Wang Shuning smiled broadly.
The principal stared at her and said, "The Education Bureau said that your scores are very high. It's a disadvantage to apply for this major. If you apply for the Chinese or History Department, you will definitely be admitted."
Wang Shuning smiled and said, "It's okay, this is good."
After graduation, the country will assign a job to her. For a foreign trade major, it will definitely be a job related to foreign trade. She will first accumulate some connections and experience. When the time comes, she can resign and go out on her own.
Wouldn't it be nice to earn money from foreign countries and use it to build our motherland?
Looking at the house where he had lived for five years, Wang Shuning was really reluctant to leave.
Send back everything that can be sent, and give away everything that cannot be sent.
Ding Hui looked at Wang Shuning and sighed, "The only regret is that you didn't get married. If you had started a family before going to college, you would be perfect."
