Tang Baozhu knew the history of this period. After this exam, there would be another college entrance examination in less than half a year.
Some people may not be well prepared, after all, they have been out of school for more than ten years, and it is still quite difficult to pass the college entrance examination with only one month of review.
The second exam was held six months later, and most of those who did not give up passed.
“Baozhu is right. Now that the country has opened up the college entrance examination, it won’t just stop it again. I heard that those who were sent down to the countryside have been exonerated one after another. I think it won’t happen again in the future.”
It's safe to say that the male and female leads are indeed worthy of each other; Li Feifei and Zhang Jianguo both feel that things will only get better from here on out.
"Feifei, your belly is so big, are you about to give birth? How much longer until you give birth? It would be best to give birth sooner, then have a month of confinement and be ready to go back to school, so that you won't miss anything."
Li Feifei touched her belly and silently calculated the time. "I'll give birth in about ten days to two weeks. I should be able to start school in time. I think I've studied quite well and I should be able to pass the exam. Once I receive the admission notice, I'll take the baby back to Jian Guo and then go to school."
Zhang Jianguo was worried that his wife would miss the child, so he said, "Don't worry, Mom has already said that she will take good care of the child for you. You can just focus on your studies and she won't let you get distracted."
"I'm not worried at all. My parents are so good to me, what do I have to worry about?"
Li Feifei was also very fortunate to have chosen Zhang Jianguo, and to have such wonderful in-laws. Although he had an older brother and sister-in-law, they got along quite well; he wasn't the kind of troublemaker.
That night, Tang Baozhu lay on the kang (a heated brick bed). It was the first time he had slept with so many people, and he felt a little uncomfortable. For so many years, he had always slept alone on the kang, and even after several new educated youths came, he had never slept with anyone else.
The housing at the educated youth settlement was always sufficient, so no one wanted to live with her; the newcomers just happened to have her as a companion.
Finally, I forced myself to go to bed early. I have an exam tomorrow, and I can't afford to make any mistakes at the last minute.
This year's college entrance examination was the first in more than a decade, with millions of people across the country participating. I heard that only more than 300,000 were admitted in the end, making it a fierce competition, like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
The next morning, everyone got up very early, washed up, and went straight to the state-run restaurant for breakfast, afraid that there would be too many people and that if they went too late, nothing would be available, and they would have to take the exam on an empty stomach.
Sure enough, when we arrived at the state-run restaurant, there was a long queue at the steamed bun stand, so we quickly joined the queue.
Fortunately, perhaps knowing that there were many people taking the college entrance exam, the state-run restaurants still prepared a lot of steamed buns, mantou, and other similar items.
Tang Baozhu was in line, and there were still many people waiting when it was her turn. Many more people wanted to come, so there should be enough. She could also hear the noise from the kitchen, where people were constantly busy, so they were probably still cooking.
The exam lasted for two days, and everyone was on edge. Li Feifei, who was heavily pregnant, was under even more pressure. Even though she knew she had studied well, she was still very nervous until the results were released.
Tang Baozhu felt that the exams over the past two days went well. The difficulty of the exam papers was average. Perhaps it was because the college entrance examination had just been reinstated and everyone knew that they had been delayed, so the questions were not too difficult. In addition, all the years of studying had not been in vain. She had answered all the questions, and even if she made some mistakes, they were not major ones.
Tang Baozhu planned to apply to a university in Beijing, and then focus on her studies, living a quiet and peaceful life until she was a hundred or eighty years old.
After the exam, since it was still early, everyone prepared to return to the educated youth settlement. It wasn't that they couldn't stay another night, but some people were reluctant to pay for an extra night's room.
Tang Baozhu thought it best to stay with everyone! So he wasn't short of money, but he didn't have a lot either. It was only in his second year in the countryside that he went to the black market and exchanged some gold for cash.
I never expected that the people in the black market would be so unethical. They even followed me after the transaction. Luckily, I had traded a lot of gold and 5,000 yuan in cash, so I never went there again.
Every year when I go to the market, I just look around to see what I want, and then I make it myself in my online space when I get back, which saves me some money.
By the time we got back to the educated youth settlement, it was already dark. Normally, it would take more than two hours to get back, but now that it was snowing and the snow was quite thick, the road was already difficult to travel, so it took even longer.
It took at least two hours longer than usual to get to the educated youth settlement. Those in the village who were also taking the college entrance exam came back with everyone. Once in the village, everyone went home and found their own mothers.
They were all exhausted from walking, and didn't chat much. They greeted each other and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Sleeping in the same room with others these past two days has been incredibly uncomfortable. I'm just not used to it. When I had my own room, I could at least go into my personal space to check things out, but I haven't been able to go in with other people around.
Tang Baozhu thought that if she went to university, she would definitely not be able to live alone in the dormitory. There would be at least four people and at most 12 people in one dormitory.
Considering this kind of life would last at least four years, it seems she needs to see if she can avoid living in the dormitory. Ideally, she could buy her own place outside the dormitory so she wouldn't have to live there anymore.
I didn't sleep well the past two days, and now I'm lying on the kang (heated brick bed) in my room. I haven't been thinking about anything for long before I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, I could hear noises outside, so it seemed that I had indeed gotten up too late.
"Why are you all up so early? I just checked the time, and it's earlier than usual. Aren't you tired? You went to bed so late last night and you're so tired from walking."
After checking the time, Tang Baozhu came out of the house and heard them talking non-stop.
"We're not like you, sleeping so comfortably. We're worried about our exam results, so we got up early and couldn't fall back asleep. You don't seem nervous at all, so you must have done pretty well, right?"
"That's right. I just compared my answers with everyone's, and I found that my answers were quite different from everyone else's. I feel like my exam results are a bit uncertain."
"Lili, don't worry. Maybe it's not your answer that's wrong, but someone else's answer. Just wait for the results to come out. Don't scare yourself."
"Yes, yes, the results haven't come out yet. Anything is possible. At worst, we can just apply to a school with lower admission scores."
