These people were laughing outside, but Chen Jianguo was too lazy to pay attention to them.
He took a good bath and rubbed off two layers of mud on his body.
Chen Jianguo came out of the bathroom, folded his clothes neatly, placed them next to the pillow, and fell asleep.
The others followed suit and took turns bathing.
On Xu Zhaodi's side, after finishing her work at the restaurant, she saw that the weather was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain again.
A cold wind blew and she shivered.
If I remember correctly, the notice of resumption of the college entrance examination was released in these few days.
Xu Zhaodi looked back and saw the number 19 on the calendar on the wall.
Having nothing to do at the moment, she said, "Sister Zhang, I'm going to the bookstore to buy a book."
Zhang Guilan, who was knitting clothes nearby, asked: "Hey, were you reading at the same time?"
"No, I bought it for my brother and sister."
"It's okay now, just go."
A few months ago, she bought the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" from that educated youth.
She remembered that the college entrance examination now seemed to consist of two subjects.
She couldn't remember the details, but she still wanted to buy what she needed in advance.
Xu Zhaodi came to the door of the Hua Bookstore. There was a wooden board hanging on the door with the four big characters "Hua Bookstore" written in handwriting.
There are not many people in the store. Those who can read books here are all students from well-off families.
As soon as Xu Zhaodi entered, she said, "Hello, comrade. May I ask if there are any books for high school students?"
The shopkeeper was a teenager holding a book on Algebra in his hand. He was reading it seriously without even raising his head.
Young man: "Industrial Basics", "Agricultural Basics", or the one I have in my hand. Which one do you want?"
Xu Zhaodi: "I want all three. Give me two of each."
The young man looked up in shock. How could his sister be so rich to buy two books at once?
The boy became interested, closed the book in his hand, and looked up. The woman in front of him had a childish face and looked about the same age as him.
The young man saw that she was dignified and gentle, and his eyes were dull for a moment.
How can such a young and youthful face have such an old-fashioned hairstyle?
Is she married?
The young man then realized that she had such an old-fashioned hairstyle, and must have been betrothed to her beloved man, otherwise her eyes would not be so bright and captivating.
Out of politeness, the boy asked: "Sister, why did you buy so many books?"
"I bought it for my brother and sister."
The boy grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
“Your brothers and sisters are so lucky to have a sister like you.
Please wait a moment, I will get it for you."
The young man turned around and took the book. After Xu Zhaodi confirmed it, he tied the book up with a hemp rope and handed it to Xu Zhaodi.
Xu Zhaodi took it and paid for it, before reminding her: "I'm kindly reminding you to buy yourself a set as well."
The boy asked in confusion: "Why?"
"If you're asked to keep one copy, then keep one. It's such a good book, what if it gets published someday?"
The boy thought so too.
Such a good book, what if it is published someday?
Young man: "Thank you, sister."
Xu Zhaodi smiled and left with the book.
This book cost me thirty or forty yuan.
I have to say that the most expensive thing these days is books.
After listening to Xu Zhaodi, the boy kept one set for himself, paid the money and put the books into his bag.
Two days later, October 21st.
Xu Zhaodi had just finished her lunch break and sat down on a chair when the county party committee’s loudspeaker suddenly rang.
"Comrades, please pay attention. Comrades, please pay attention. We have an important announcement. We have an important announcement.
In response to the instructions from higher authorities forwarded by the county, in order to change the current situation of development of education and socialist cause and to produce talents quickly and early, a symposium on science and education work was held. The meeting decided to change the existing recommendation-based enrollment method: starting from this year, the college entrance examination will be resumed; starting from this year, the college entrance examination will be resumed.
We will officially start the selection method of cultural examinations, select the best candidates, and no longer accept mass recommendations. "
The resumption of the college entrance examination was repeated over the loudspeaker.
For a while, the entrance of the supply and marketing department was crowded with people who were calling home.
When He Damei heard the news, she said, "What? The college entrance examination has been resumed?
Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have studied harder. I stopped going to school after graduating from elementary school. Is it too late now? "
Zhang Guilan said: "Come on, everyone has their own destiny. Don't even think about taking the exam. Don't you see how many people across the country are waiting for this opportunity?
Only the best people go there, otherwise how can we call it talent selection.”
He Damei scratched her hair and laughed, "Yeah, I'm not that lucky. It's hard to even find a partner, let alone something as important as the college entrance examination."
He Damei was in a good mood. She moved a stool and sat at the door, eating melon seeds and looking at the people queuing at the door of the supply and marketing department.
Wang Daqing pointed at the group of people in front of him and said, "Are you still worried about such a trivial matter as finding a partner?
Do you see the group of people queuing at the door? Just run over, pick the most handsome one, carry him back, and go straight to the bridal chamber. Isn't that enough?"
He Damei glared at Wang Daqing and pretended to raise her hand to hit him.
"Shut up, I'll beat you up."
Wang Daqing squatted aside and laughed. As he laughed, he took a deep breath and his eyes became deep and dark.
“Alas, they are actually quite pitiful.”
Wang Daqing didn't know whether he was talking about himself or others.
Xu Zhaodi stood at the door, her memory vague.
Science and technology are the best productive forces. If a country wants to develop, it needs a large number of technical talents.
She remembered very clearly that the targets of enrollment after the resumption of the college entrance examination were workers and farmers, educated youth who had gone to the countryside or returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres and recent high school graduates.
Among these people, high school students continue to go to school and are not allowed to take the college entrance examination.
Today, at this historic moment, major media outlets announced the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Unlike previous college entrance examinations, the 1977 college entrance examination was not held in summer but in winter.
More than 5.7 million people took the exam, but less than 300,000 were admitted. However, it inspired tens of thousands of people to pick up their books again and join the army of students.
The restoration of the college entrance examination system changed the fate of several generations.
The college entrance examination has become the only chance for millions of Chinese people to reverse their destiny.
Men and women who had been accumulated over the past decade, from workshops, farmlands, military camps... rushed into the examination room to change their destiny.
The exam time is scheduled for one month later.
They are restricted by many factors such as time, textbooks, and candidates, and it is inconvenient to conduct the examinations uniformly across the country. Instead, each province and city independently organizes and arranges a series of tasks such as setting questions, examinations, and marking.
At this moment, the threshold of the supply and marketing department is almost crowded.
Some people got there first and lined up at the bookstore nearby. Suddenly, there were two lines of people on the street.
On one side, people were calling home, and on the other side, people were queuing up to buy books.
Soon, the bookstore closed. The boy had hung a sign outside two days ago.
——All related books have been sold out. Please go to other county bookstores to buy them.
The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That sister was truly a fortune teller. Fortunately, he had listened to her and reserved a set of information for him in advance.
