College students in this era are even more popular.
Of course, academic qualifications are not absolute.
If a person stands high enough, no one will care about his academic qualifications.
Yan Ning said seriously, "Brother, you are only nineteen years old, still in your prime, don't you want to experience college life?
You know how popular college students are nowadays, right?
After graduating from university, you can choose not to participate in the school's job assignments and start your own business."
"Of course, these are just my personal suggestions. It's up to you whether you listen to them or not.
If you don’t care about academic qualifications and want to start a business directly, I will support you.”
Yan Yuqi thought for a long time and said, "Sister, I want to think about it carefully."
Yan Ning didn't force him, everyone has their own choice.
She can participate in discussions, but she cannot make decisions for him.
The next morning around eight o'clock.
After getting up, Yan Ning went to the main room to have breakfast.
Yan Yuqi heard the sound coming out of his room and followed it into the main room.
After Yan Ning came out of the kitchen with the bowl in hand, he said, "Sister, I thought about it all night last night and decided to follow your advice.
Take the college entrance exam and go to university, then start your own business after graduation."
Yan Ning looked at his blue eyes and it seemed that he had been thinking all night.
"Brother, it's good that you've made up your mind. Then study hard during the next period of time!"
Yan Yuqi nodded and said, "I'm going to the city in the next two days to finish the things I have, and then I'll come back to start reviewing."
Yan Ning said 'hmm', "By the way, big brother, do you have any self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry?
If you don’t have any, I have some extra and can give you a set.”
Yan Yuqi: "I have a set. I learned it all in high school and I've kept it all!"
Yan Ning nodded and then started to eat breakfast.
For the next period of time, Yan Ning and Yan Yuqi stayed in their rooms and concentrated on reviewing.
Sometimes they would review books together in the main room, and discuss with each other if there were anything they didn’t understand.
October 21st soon arrived.
After getting off work at noon, Yan Guoshu hurried home with a newspaper.
As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted towards the main room: "Xiao Ning, Xiao Qi, come out and read the newspaper."
Yan Ning knew what day it was, so when he heard Yan Guoshu's words, he guessed what was in the newspaper.
She followed Yan Yuqi out of the main room.
"Dad, what newspaper are you reading?" Yan Yuqi asked.
Yan Guoshu happily raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "This morning the postman delivered the newspaper to the brigade office. You can read the contents yourself."
As he said this, he handed the newspaper to Yan Yuqi.
Yan Yuqi took the newspaper curiously and opened it, and saw the bold headline on the front page at a glance.
The title only read: Resume the national college entrance examination which has been suspended for 10 years.
The college entrance examination will be held nationwide in one month. The specific examination time will be subject to the notification during local registration.
Yan Yuqi smiled and said: "The country has resumed the college entrance examination, and the exam will be held in a month.
Then we only have one month to review."
Yan Ning remembers that there was no national unified examination paper for the college entrance examination in 1977. The right to set questions lay with each province, so the examination times were also different.
The total number of applicants this time reached 11.6 million.
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Brother, are you sure?"
Yan Yuqi returned the newspaper to Yan Guoshu. "Of course I have. My academic performance in high school was really good."
"I'm going to the radio station and have to tell everyone the news." Yan Guoshu took the newspaper and hurried out again.
Yan Yuqi went back to the kitchen to cook, and Yan Ning went to help.
Not long after, the horn on the Daliushu Brigade sounded.
Yan Guoshu's voice spread throughout the big willow tree.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Guoshu, the captain of the Daliushu Brigade. I saw today's newspaper.
Now I have good news to tell you, the country has resumed the college entrance examination! "
"All workers, peasants, educated youth who went to the countryside and returned to the city,
Demobilized soldiers and fresh graduates who meet the requirements can apply for the exam.
Candidates will no longer be restricted based on their political performance or family background."
"The college entrance examination will be held nationwide in a month.
The specific examination time shall be subject to the notification given at the time of local registration.”
“…”
In the educated youth dormitory, a group of educated youth who were cooking were shocked when they heard the news over the loudspeaker.
Then a group of people excitedly danced and jumped in the yard.
One female educated youth was so excited that she was incoherent. "The college entrance examination has been resumed... The college entrance examination has been resumed. This is great! We can finally go back to the city."
A male educated youth said, "Yes, we educated youth can also take the college entrance examination. If we pass, we can return to the city and finally don't have to suffer in the countryside anymore."
Another male educated youth spoke up, "Did you bring your high school textbooks? If not, we'll have to find a way to buy them in the county town."
"Why don't we go to the brigade and ask if anyone has high school textbooks."
"I can't borrow it. High school textbooks are in very short supply right now, so I'm sure they'll need them."
“…”
Several educated youth nearby felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Their academic performance was not good, and it had been several years, so they had long forgotten what they had learned in high school.
And the exam is only one month away, there is no time to review, what should they do!
For the next period of time, the educated youth in the dormitory worked in the fields during the day and studied all night long.
In addition to Yan Ning and Yan Yuqi, there are several other families in the Daliushu Brigade who have high school students who are about to take the college entrance examination.
For a moment, all these people were shrouded in the tense atmosphere of the college entrance examination.
A few days later, Yan Guoshu brought back two registration forms. "Xiao Ning, Xiao Qi, these are the college entrance examination registration forms. Fill them out and hand them to me now.
I'll submit it to the commune later along with the registration forms for the educated youth."
The two of them quickly filled out the registration form and handed it to Yan Guoshu.
Yan Ning thought of Yan Sumei and asked, "Second Uncle, has Sister Sumei signed up for the college entrance examination?"
Yan Guoshu: "I don't know, Sumei got married in April.
Her husband's family lives in the city, so if she wants to register, she should do it in the city!"
Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh".
She hasn't contacted Yan Sumei since she went to Hong Kong City.
When she heard the news that Yan Sumei was already married, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Yan Guoshu took the registration form and left quickly.
The next day at noon, when Yan Guoshu returned home for lunch, he brought a piece of news.
"Xiao Ning, Su Mei called me this morning to ask if you were back. I told her you were back.
She said she has something to talk to you about and asked you to call her this afternoon."
Yan Ning responded, indicating that he understood.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Ning came to the brigade office and called Yan Sumei.
The phone rang for two or three minutes before it was connected, and a male voice came from the receiver.
