Chapter 208: College Entrance Examination Resumed
When Shi Luo was in the Red Star Brigade, he liked the little yellow dog very much. He often secretly fed Xiao Huang canned dog food and other things. He even fed Xiao Huang pet goat milk powder to supplement her nutrition when she was pregnant.
Shi Luo saw in the letter that Cao Wang was speechless and a little worried when he saw Jiang Yinyin being chased by Xiao Huang and stepped forward to protect Jiang Yinyin, but accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Then Xiao Huang accidentally stepped on the egg, causing it to break.
"This Cao Wang is so unlucky. He has to encounter such a coincidence that can't be more coincidental. It's really unbelievable. Oh, and I hope Xiao Huang is okay. I hope the Cao family won't take their anger out on Xiao Huang."
Jiang Hao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Xiao Huang in our team is the only surviving child of the hero dog.
In the 1960s, there were still many hidden spies in our country, and there were also quite a few on our side.
Xiao Huang's mother Da Huang and her brothers and sisters died in a spy hunt.
I don't know the details, but I think I was living with my grandparents in the city during that time.
I heard those things from my grandma later. I remember her saying that if it weren't for those dogs, the police wouldn't have been able to find the enemy spies and explosives hidden in the mountains.
He also said that it was the dogs that protected the villagers and the police from the disaster.
Anyway, the older generation said that the final result of the incident was that all the escaping enemy spies, except those who died at the time, were captured, and 300 kilograms of explosives and a large amount of gold and silver buried by Xiao Ri were also seized.
In short, apart from the entire Huang family who perished in that incident, even the police officers involved in the arrest, after the fierce gun battle, suffered only penetrating bullet wounds to their limbs.
Shi Luo did not doubt the deeds of Dahuang's family. After all, in modern times, military dogs, police dogs, no matter which kind, were very powerful when doing their missions. Even some pet dogs raised by ordinary families would fight with bad guys to protect their owners.
"You said Da Huang's family all died, so how did Xiao Huang survive?"
Jiang Hao recalled, "My grandma said that Xiao Huang was born not long ago and couldn't walk steadily, so he didn't go into the mountains with Da Huang to find food. That's why he survived.
Hey, look, it says on the back of the paper that although Da Huang's family are just dogs, they are all dogs who sacrificed their lives for the country. We cannot ignore their contributions just because they are dogs.
As the only surviving dog in their family, Xiao Huang did not violate national laws, policies, or bite anyone at random.
Although he accidentally crushed Cao Wang's egg while running, it wasn't intentional. Jiang Yinyin was primarily responsible for this incident, so she bears the lion's share of the responsibility. As for Xiao Huang, the team has decided to punish him with a month of solitary confinement.
Shi Luo laughed out loud as he looked at the last piece of letter paper. "Your dad is really something. He actually kept Xiao Huang at your house and didn't let him go out. Is he putting Xiao Huang in solitary confinement? Or is he afraid that the Cao family will retaliate against Xiao Huang, so he took the initiative to protect Xiao Huang."
Jiang Hao was also amused. "Both, right? Xiao Huang is old now, and I don't think he'll live long. There's really no need for him to suffer in his final days."
Shi Luo: "No, then why did your uncle say at noon that Cao Wang's eggs were broken by someone? Could it be that Jiang Yinyin didn't tell him the truth?"
Jiang Hao nodded. "That's probably the case. Maybe Jiang Yinyin also thinks this is a bit outrageous and is too embarrassed to talk about it."
Shi Luo satisfied his gossip and felt a little hungry. "Yes, Jiang Yinyin really couldn't tell her own father that her boyfriend's balls were crushed by the dog because of her looking for a dog. It's really outrageous to say that.
Okay, since Xiao Huang is fine and I've finished reading the letter, go and cook dinner. I want to eat cold noodles today."
Huhu, who was standing nearby, heard Jiang Hao and Shi Luo stop chatting and quickly said, "Dad, I want to have a dog too."
Jiang Hao rubbed his son's buzz cut and said, "When you're older and can take care of a dog yourself, I'll get you a dog. You're still too young now, and your godfather and I are busy and can't help you take care of the dog, so wait a little longer."
Huhu has been used to being independent since he was a child, and is more sensible than other children. In addition, he understands that what Jiang Hao said makes sense, and Jiang Hao also promised him that he would let him raise a dog in the future, so he didn't insist on raising one now.
Jiang Hao saw his son nod in agreement and stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "I'm going to cook. You two can have fun."
The next day, Shi Luo was chatting with Sister Zhou about gossip in the accounting office when he suddenly heard a sound from the factory's loudspeaker.
Xiao Feng: "What's going on? There shouldn't be any broadcasts at this time."
Uncle Chu: "Maybe there's some last-minute notice."
"Good news, good news! This year's college admissions process has undergone a major reform. A unified examination, prefecture-level preliminary selection, and school admissions will be based on a method approved by provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. Workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or returned home, demobilized soldiers, cadres, and recent high school graduates who meet the admission requirements are welcome to apply voluntarily. They can choose several schools and subject categories based on their interests and strengths, allowing the nation to select them. The college entrance examination will be held from December 6th to 22nd, 1977, with each province and city setting its own exam questions and arranging the exams."
The announcer read the message three times in a row, and no one in Shi Luo's office made a sound after the first reading.
After a long while, Uncle Chu was the first to break the silence. "From what I hear, it seems like I can take the college entrance exam."
Sister Zhou: "That means the college entrance examination has been resumed. It has been suspended for many years."
"The college entrance examination was resumed this year, but it had been suspended for ten years, back in 1966."
Logically speaking, Shi Luo knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and he even knew the specific date of the college entrance examination. In May of this year, Jiang Hai even vaguely reminded Jiang Hao and him that the college entrance examination might be resumed this year.
But I don’t know why I was still very excited when I heard the broadcast that the college entrance examination was resumed.
Now that I've almost calmed down, I answered Sister Zhou's question without thinking.
Uncle Chu said, "There are not many restrictions on who can take the college entrance examination this time. Most people can participate. Do you want to sign up?"
