Yi Qingqing looked at Yun Guyuan in surprise: "You want to study medicine too?"

"I want to die with you," Yun Guyuan said seriously.

Yi Qingqing recalled the time a few years ago when someone drowned in the river. She told Yun Guyuan that her greatest wish in life was to live in good health until the end of her life, but because she didn't like hospitals, she hesitated whether to study medicine.

Then Yun Guyuan reminded her that she could study medicine.

This... couldn't be influenced by me!

How brave of her to study clinical medicine. The operating room is Yi Qingqing's lifelong nightmare. In Yi Qingqing's eyes, all doctors are heroes.

But if I have a boyfriend who is a doctor, he will operate on me and I will give him an injection, it would be so sweet... Yi Qingqing shook her head, what was she thinking! ?

Starting over again, the two of them should take care of each other's health and die of old age. How romantic!

"You two even have similar majors! How sweet!" Li Mengxue made a heart-holding gesture, looking excited, "I wish you can combine Chinese and Western medicine and dominate the medical field!"

Yi Qingqing stepped on her foot modestly: "Be more restrained!"

"So you all want to go to the capital?" Wang Lingling pondered. "Then I want to apply to a university in the capital, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get in."

"I'm also afraid that I won't pass the exam, but we have seized the opportunity and started studying in advance. With such comprehensive information, how can we not try it?"

With the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" Li Mengxue was full of confidence: "Come on, you have better grades, why don't you also set your goal for Imperial University! The higher the goal, even if you can't achieve it by then, it won't be too far off!"

Qian Lailai nodded: "Who doesn't want to go to the highest institution of learning?"

"Okay, since everyone is planning to apply to Imperial University, I declare that our 'Imperial University Study Group' is officially established from today! Let's work hard together, help each other, and go for it together! In the future, we will be the most beautiful kids in Imperial University!"

Li Mengxue waved her fists with great enthusiasm.

Except for Yi Qingqing, no one else understood what "the brightest boy" meant, but Li Mengxue's emotions still infected everyone.

"Let's cheer together!" Qian Lailai said excitedly.

Chen Zhihe had never dared to think that he could be admitted to Didu University, but he had agreed to go wherever Lai Lai was, so he had to try: "Come on!"

Looking at her sisters, Wang Lingling suddenly gained confidence: "Go! Go! I want to take the entrance exam to Imperial University, and I want to be with you!"

"Well... I haven't said which university I'm going to apply to yet!" he said in his farewell speech.

The remaining six people stared at him: "Which university are you going to apply to?"

"The emperor is great!" Xie Shiyan said decisively.

Wang Lingling glanced at him and cursed: "Virtue!"

Yi Qingqing was no longer surprised to hear his answer, which was completely different from the one in the original book. To hell with the original book!

Then they divided the study materials and decided on the order in which they would exchange and copy.

Everyone was prepared to hand-copy Yi Qingqing's notes and exercise books, Yun Guyuan's "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series", and Wang Lingling and Xie Shiyan's tutorial books, and use these materials as a basis for review.

From that day on, even during the tiring autumn harvest period, they would squeeze out time to study.

In order to save some cooking time, they decided to eat together, just like they did in previous gatherings, estimate the cost together and then split the bill.

Each person is responsible for one day, and they rotate once a week.

After dinner, they would talk about their recent learning progress and situation and discuss some topics.

Gradually, Yi Qingqing, the "stupid bird" who had flown a long time earlier, and Yun Guyuan, who relied purely on his cleverness, became the ones recognized as having the most solid studies in the study group. No matter what difficult problems they encountered, they could get answers when asked.

Until mid-October, the autumn harvest in Xiangshui Village was still in full swing, and the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was finally announced.

When the news came, the educated youth were still working in the fields. Then there was a frenzy of celebration. Some people cried with joy, but then they became nervous and anxious.

The college entrance examination is scheduled for December 10th, which is less than two months away.

The old educated youth have been in the countryside for several years and have long forgotten most of what they learned in high school.

Some clever people like Tang Lan and Zhou Yanhong noticed that Li Mengxue and Yi Qingqing seemed to be studying recently, so they went to the scrap yard to get some teaching materials to read. They felt a little more relaxed at this time, at least they had books to read when they got home from work.

But the other old educated youth who had little interaction with Yi Qingqing and the others didn’t read much and didn’t even have all the textbooks on hand.

Lu Xianjin, who failed in his pursuit of Wang Lingling, failed to reconcile with Gao Xiaoxiang, and was hated by the village chief's family, usually kept a few books with him in order to pretend to be more literary, but none of them were textbooks.

He had a very dark life in the past two years. After that fever, his physical condition was much worse than before. He was often secretly bullied by the village chief's family, and people in the village gossiped about him behind his back. He was about to give up, but now he finally heard hope.

College entrance exam! He must pass the exam and return to the city, leaving this dirty place behind!

He immediately went to ask for leave from the team leader. He didn't want to participate in the upcoming autumn harvest. He just wanted to go back to review. He didn't want to do these tasks for even a second!

"You have to work for the day. If you quit early like this, you will have one month's work points deducted!" The team leader and the village chief's family were on the same side, but he would not detain Lu Xianjin and not let him take leave.

He was not the only one who did this. The team leader even gave a direct order that the educated youth could ask for leave and not participate in the upcoming autumn harvest, but a certain amount of work points would be deducted.

In fact, the deduction of work points was to trick Lu Xianjin. If there was no Lu Xianjin, Zhao Youtian would never have mentioned this, so the word "definitely" is very subtle.

One month's work points are a certain amount of work points, one day's work points are also a certain amount of work points, and one work point is also a certain amount of work points.

Section 146

People do what they are supposed to do. It would be a pity for these young kids who have never worked in the fields or done heavy work and are good at studying to stay in their team. Those who are educated should go to study.

When they were not around, the brigade had so much land to cultivate. Even without them, wouldn’t we still have so much land to cultivate?

To be honest, many of the work points allocated to the educated youth included some care from the team, so they wouldn't really be allowed to starve to death.

Therefore, Zhao Youtian still supports them all to go to college, as studying is more suitable for them.

The educated youth were unaware of the team leader's good intentions. Although the work points they received in one month were a lot, they would definitely not get any work points, especially since they did not work later.

However, the remaining food from their work points was enough for them to go to college, and there was even some surplus.

But if I fail the exam, next year will be miserable and I will definitely go hungry.

Even so, returning to the city is a wish engraved in the hearts of the educated youth. Now that there is hope, no one can give up.

So, the educated youth decided to take leave to review.

In the cafeteria, when the members came to get lunch at noon, they found Yi Qingqing still there and were very surprised: "Little Yi Zhiqing, why don't you ask for leave to study? Don't you want to take the college entrance examination?"

"I took a leave in the afternoon, but I will still come to help with cooking in the morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it with one less person. Everyone chose me, and I can't just quit like that. The autumn harvest will be over soon anyway, so I'll just stand guard for the last shift!" Yi Qingqing said.

With so many people sharing the work in the fields, if the weather is good, there is no need to slow down the progress at night.

But there were only three people in the cafeteria: her, Aunt Guihua, Aunt Dongmei, and Sun Laidie. It was better in the afternoon because they had plenty of time. Without her, there was no problem with Sun Laidie, an expert at digging wild vegetables. But in the morning, they were very busy preparing food and cooking.

If she took a leave, unless someone else could take her place, it would probably be too late for three people to cook for the whole team.

The job in the cafeteria is a popular one. If you ask someone to fill the position at such a short notice, that person will feel uncomfortable and it will offend others.

It doesn't matter if there is only a little time left. Yi Qingqing has been reviewing for three years, so who is she afraid of?

Including the accelerated time, she has been attending high school in this skill teaching model for at least four or five years. There is also one-on-one teaching, so the efficiency is very high.

She didn't aim to become the top scholar, as long as she could study traditional Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical science at Didu University.

If she has worked so hard but still cannot compare to the majority of people who only have two or three months to review, then she should stop studying medicine and harm others.

So she simply took leave only in the afternoon. She also made an agreement with Aunt Guihua and the others that there was estimated to be still half a month left, so she would give half of her daily work points to them as compensation. After all, since she took leave in the afternoon, the work fell on the three of them.

The educated youth took leave and had more time to study.

Those who did not have all the textbooks went to the city to get books. Those who had money went to bookstores, and those who did not have money went to scrap yards. Those who could not find books at the scrap yards borrowed books from others and copied them. When it came to farming, the educated youth might seem unable to endure hardship, but when it came to studying, every educated youth was willing to risk his life to learn, and would overcome any hardship.

Those who were not well-off would sit in the alley in the cold wind and read in the dim light during the day in order to save money, and would only light candles at night.

Zhao Fang and Zhou Qiang also resigned from their primary school teaching jobs and handed over the teaching to young people in the village who were in junior high school.

For a time, the entire youth cadre was studying intensively.

By this time, everyone in Yi Qingqing's study group had copied a set of key study materials.

Every day they study on their own during the day, and at night they light a few candles in a room to discuss problems together.

Mainly, Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan answered their questions and resolved their doubts about the problems that occurred during the day.

When teaching others, Yi Qingqing can also consolidate knowledge and deepen her understanding.

This way everyone can light all the candles in one room, and it will be brighter.

In November, the seven of them took time out to go to the city again.

Yi Qingqing was sending a letter home to talk about the college entrance examination. She wrote:

"Mom and Dad, Brother and Sister-in-law, Xiaohui and Sisi:

It’s a relief to see you in person!

I'm sure you've all heard the news about the resumption of the college entrance examination. I'm so, so happy. I knew that the country would value talents. From the moment I went to the countryside, I knew that I would be able to come back on my own, so I have been reviewing high school knowledge and have never forgotten it.

Opportunities really only come to those who are prepared. When the news came, I had already read all the textbooks and believed that there would be a good result.

The college entrance examination is scheduled for December 10th. My food supply is with the Xiangshui Village Brigade. If I pass the exam, the admission letter will also be sent here. I am afraid of missing the letter, so I may not be able to go home for the New Year this year..."

Sisi is the newborn baby of her sister-in-law, a girl named Yisi, nicknamed Sisi.

Yi Qingqing wrote this letter mainly to remind her family and lay the groundwork so that they would have higher expectations for their own performance.

Who told her that she was an innocent and delicate girl before she recovered her memory? She barely passed the high school entrance exam, but her academic performance was terrible. If she didn't prepare in advance, she would be afraid that it would be difficult to explain when the time comes.

Then I talked about not going back home for the New Year this year.

The main reason was that after the exam, the next year would pass, in the spring of 1978, and she would go to college. She also wanted to go to the capital some time in advance to buy a house, sign in, and so on.

All of these take time. If I go home, it might be too late. It’s better to stay in the countryside.

Not only is she not going back this year, Wang Lingling and Xie Shiyan are also not going back this year. This year, everyone will celebrate the New Year together at the educated youth site!

After Yi Qingqing sent the letter, when she went to the state-owned hotel to meet up with her sisters, she ran into Li Mengxue, who was holding a book and sighing.

"What's wrong?" Yi Qingqing glanced at it with her sharp eyes. It was a book called "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" (Geometry), the first book in the series, and it looked like brand new.

"Oh, don't mention it! My friend bought me a series of books on mathematics, physics and chemistry, what a waste of money." Li Mengxue sighed.

This book has only just been reprinted. The few copies in the bookstore were sold out in just two days. This was the only copy she had because she had told Xiao Hua and the others that she wanted to buy this book, so they helped her grab a copy.

When the college entrance examination was resumed, only one book was reprinted.

She was also not sure whether the college entrance examination questions circulated on the Internet in later generations were based only on the first volume of this series, that is, this one, or all seventeen volumes.

Fortunately, she has already done all 17 volumes of the book. In the last period of time, she should think over the wrong questions carefully and she should be almost done.

Yi Qingqing thought that it was no wonder that Li Mengxue only got into Diying in the original book. She had not studied in advance and had not seen Yun Guyuan's "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" in advance. She was afraid that she would not be able to review with peace of mind in the first few months. Even if she got the newly printed "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" at this time, there would not be enough time.

The seven members of the fish team had already gone through all the questions in the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series". Yi Qingqing had even studied the series twice with the help of a time accelerator card.

I believe that their fish-catching team will achieve very good results!
