Chapter 370: Why didn’t I pass the exam?
"I haven't told them about the admission yet. Do you want to tell them?"
After a pause, Fu Jingyou asked in a muffled voice.
We had originally agreed to call them as soon as we got the results.
There was some trouble with the admission letter issue, and Fu Jingyou didn't make the call because he was afraid that the other party would worry.
"Go on, go on. They must be very anxious these days."
Fu Jingyou pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lu Miao turned around and kissed him, comforting him:
"Just tell the truth. If they ask, just say I wasn't in good shape and didn't do well on the test. It's not a big deal."
Fu Jingyou frowned and nodded slightly.
Things were done as soon as they were said. The next day, Fu Jingyou went to the county to do some business. He took the opportunity to find Hu Zhiyuan and also called Jingbei.
The son-in-law passed the exam, but the daughter failed. Lu Yuanzheng held the microphone and remained silent for several minutes.
After briefly asking about the situation, Lu Yuanzheng hung up the phone.
In a small mountain village in H Province, a young couple is busy preparing for the New Year.
In a small alley in Huaer Market, northern Beijing.
In the Lu family courtyard, Lu Yuanzheng went up to the second floor, walked around the desk, and took out a bulging brown paper-sealed file bag from the drawer of the inner bookcase.
He sat down at the table, opened the bag, and tilted out the contents to examine them carefully.
Report cards and test papers filled with check marks: 95, 99, 100...
From childhood to adulthood, except for a few times when she was sick and missed school, that girl's grades have never been below 90. How come she didn't pass the exam?
In the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, each province set its own questions.
Lu Miao grew up in the north. Even if the questions in the south were tricky, with her cultural foundation, there was no reason why her son-in-law could pass the exam while she failed.
Lu Yuanzheng frowned, looked at a full-mark test paper for a long time, and finally put it back into the file bag.
He carried the bag downstairs and out the door.
Tang Mei was rolling noodles in the kitchen and saw it, so she quickly ran into the yard and asked:
"It's already Little New Year today, why are you still going out?"
"I'll be back at night."
After saying this gloomily, Lu Yuanzheng drove to school.
The school that was taken over has been renovated. The fence gate at the main entrance has been freshly painted, and the words "Beijing Renmin University" on the top are both majestic and imposing.
As the New Year approaches, there are still signs of human activity in the school.
They are either management nurses within the campus or teachers transferred in advance through internal reservations, and they all live on campus.
When Lu Yuanzheng arrived at school, people greeted him from a distance.
Having no time to visit, Lu Yuanzheng nodded briefly in response and went straight upstairs.
It is inconvenient to make a phone call outside, the phone in the office has already been connected.
As soon as Lu Yuanzheng entered the office, he dialed the number in Xi County, H Province.
After making several phone calls to verify the situation, he leaned on the table for a long time to consider, and finally called an acquaintance at the Education Bureau.
Lu Yuanzheng asked about the possibility of errors in grading the test papers and whether someone might have used someone else's name.
The other party promised not to.
They were all acquaintances, and the person on the other end of the phone knew his daughter, Lu Xiaobao.
Probably guessing that Lu Xiaobao also participated in this exam, the person on the other end of the microphone said soothingly:
"Principal Lu, don't worry. With the resumption of the college entrance examination, five to six million people across the country have taken the exam. The workload is enormous, and the results won't be announced until March after the New Year at the latest. You can wait and see."
Lu Yuanzheng understood, chatted about something else, said he would come to his house for dinner when he was free, and then hung up the phone.
Both sides are shrewd people. Although Lu Yuanzheng asked questions tactfully, the other party knew that he meant to put pressure on them.
Fearing that something might go wrong, a certain group at the Education Bureau passed the message down layer by layer.
Just to verify who graded the college entrance examination papers in Xi County, H Province, and what the specific situation was.
You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do!
The Education Bureau quickly called the president's office of Renmin University, but was unable to get through.
Lu Yuanzheng expected that things would not come to a conclusion too soon, so after hanging up the phone, he did not stay in the office. He drove his car back to the Lu family courtyard and spent the New Year's Eve with Tang Mei.
Lu Yuanzheng, like a butterfly, stirred up a large group with just one move.
The department in H Province responsible for the Xi County test papers did not dare to delay and sped up the process, sending the news down layer by layer.
A phone call and five or six telegrams were sent, and when the news reached Xi County, the entire office was alarmed.
"Provincial No. 1? Is that true? From our county?"
"Lu, it's Lu! Is Team Leader Fu's wife's surname Lu?"
"It seems so. A while ago, Team Leader Fu came to ask about the college entrance examination results, but he hasn't come in the past few days..."
"I haven't received any news yet, so I must have thought he failed the exam. Look at what a misunderstanding this has caused... Hurry! What are you still standing there for? Put up the banners, find a gong and drum band, and let's go welcome this provincial champion!"
The county was busy running around all day and all the senior leaders were mobilized.
The next morning, they arrived at the second production team of Dahe Village, holding a banner with the words "Provincial No. 1 Scholar" and leading a gong and drum band.
The Fu family handed in the task pig and just slaughtered the second New Year pig.
There are a lot of people gathering in front of the door, just wanting to buy some more fat pork!
We slaughtered a pig at the beginning of the month and didn’t keep much for ourselves.
This time when slaughtering the pig, Fu Jingyou cut a few pieces and sold them to the members as a token of his appreciation, and he didn't plan to sell the rest.
The villagers looked at him and said:
"No matter how much you eat, you can't eat such a big pig!"
"That's right! Xiaoliu, hurry up! Cut some more fat from the pig's belly for Auntie, quickly..."
There was a noisy scuffle in front of the door, and He Hongjin and Chen Guifen were also helping.
People from the county entered the village and no one noticed them.
The area at the entrance of the village is basically empty except for the old men and women who have difficulty walking and sit at the door chatting and basking in the sun.
The county leaders were wondering where everyone had gone and why they couldn't even see the production team leader.
Later, Hu Zhiyuan raised his hand and said that he knew where the Fu family was and could lead them there.
The group went to the Fu family with drums and gongs beating.
The music and the commotion all reached the bank of the pond in front of the educated youth site, and only then did the Fu family hear the noise.
"What? There's all this banging and banging, coming over here... Is there a marriage proposal from the team next door?"
"Of course not. Who would dare to make such a big scene at their wedding?"
The members chatted and joked.
Fu Jingyou had good eyesight and saw Hu Zhiyuan who was walking in front at a glance.
With a throbbing heart, Fu Jingyou put the knife on the door panel, pushed the crowd away with his meat-greased hands, and walked down the slope.
After walking a few steps and seeing the words on the big red banner, Fu Jingyou staggered and immediately turned around and rushed into the house.
“Miaomiao, Miaomiao!”
He knows, he knows!
Fu Jingyou was running around the room like a headless fly, almost kicking over the basin of pig blood. Chen Guifen pulled him aside and started scolding him:
"You idiot, watch your step! You're being scolded on New Year's Day!"
