After this incident was over, the soap factory encountered no major problems afterwards, and it was peaceful day after day.
But one day something big suddenly happened, like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and then ripples appeared on the calm lake surface.
That day, many educated youth in the countryside cried, not out of sadness, but out of joy.
It was a joy that came from the bottom of my heart, so I couldn't help crying.
They have waited for too long this year, and there is no longer any wave of emotion in their hearts. They have even become numb, and the light in their hearts has gone out.
But one day, a crack suddenly opened on one side of the door, and a ray of light came in from outside, which gave them hope.
This incident led to the resumption of the college entrance examination. On October 21, 1977, an ordinary day, the college entrance examination was resumed.
The educated youth were all very happy that day, and they began to call their families far away, hoping that they could send them high school materials and books.
I was very anxious and excited, and I wished I could get to Qinggang Brigade right away and start studying right away.
But because it has been restored, all the reference books are in short supply now. Many people have not bought them at all, and they cannot be mailed to them.
And the most important thing is that time is tight. Even if you buy it, it will take a long time to ship it.
Because the college entrance examination is on December 1st, there is only more than a month to review.
This makes many people very anxious. They clearly see hope of returning, but now they have no books. What should they do?
Moreover, there is so much to review in just over a month that it is impossible to memorize it all.
So after the joy faded away, I immediately became worried again.
He Xianqiu was a little confused at this time, because she didn't know the exact day when the college entrance examination was resumed. She only knew that it was at the end of 1977.
But now that he knew the exact time, He Xianqiu felt happy.
Moreover, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou reviewed the materials very early, so they did not need to spend more than 40 days to review frantically like the others.
At this stage, they just need to write more test papers and consolidate their foundation.
In addition, the He family had given them a lot of reference books and test papers for each subject some time ago, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough test papers to practice.
Perhaps because he knew that he would be able to return to Kyoto in a few months, He Xianqiu was very happy when he got off work.
On the way home, I was in a good mood all the way.
After that, when they arrived home and saw Ji Chenzhou, He Xianqiu immediately rushed up to hug Ji Chenzhou, and then said happily.
"We can go to Kyoto in a few months. I'm so happy."
Ji Chenzhou looked at He Xianqiu so happy that the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, then he touched her head and said.
"Then we have to work hard now. We will start doing the questions after dinner."
He Xianqiu nodded, "Yes, we have to do the questions after dinner."
And their target schools are Tsinghua University and Peking University, so the scores must be very high, otherwise it is easy to fail.
Therefore, you should practice more questions and consolidate your practice to ensure that your scores go up and do not go down.
However, after they finished their meal and cleaned up, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
He Xianqiu was a little confused. She didn't know what he wanted to talk to her about at this time, so she went over to open the door while thinking.
When he opened the door, he saw Zhang Zhijuan, and then He Xianqiu asked with a smile: "Sister Zhijuan, is there something urgent you want to say? I just happen to have something for you..."
Since Zhang Zhijuan is here, He Xianqiu doesn't need to make a special trip to the educated youth site to deliver the information to her.
But before He Xianqiu could finish speaking, the other party excitedly shook He Xianqiu's hand and thanked her.
"Xianqiu, thank you. If you hadn't asked me to read then, I would have missed the college entrance examination now."
When He Xianqiu asked Zhang Zhijuan to read a book, Zhang Zhijuan didn't care much at that time and didn't read much.
Later, He Xianqiu once again suggested that she read, and Zhang Zhijuan began to read seriously.
Then, from then on, she often came to He Xianqiu to borrow her high school books, so now she has a solid foundation.
However, many people saw her reading and said something bad to her, saying that she was already farming in the countryside and there was no point in reading books.
But when Zhang Zhijuan saw that He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were persisting, she also persisted and read whenever she had time, and even developed a habit of it.
Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, it is much easier for Zhang Zhijuan to cope with it. She does not need to stay up late to study. She can just read during her rest time every day.
Now everyone at the educated youth site regrets that they did not read with her in the beginning. Now they can only read desperately in these forty days.
And I stayed up late to watch it, so I was not in good spirits during the day.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhijuan was even more grateful to He Xianqiu. She took the pastry in her hand and handed it to He Xianqiu.
"Xianqiu, this is a small token of my appreciation to you. If you hadn't let me read and lent me books, I'm afraid I would have forgotten everything I learned in school."
He Xianqiu looked at the cakes that Zhang Zhijuan handed over and waved her hand to refuse. "No, no, I think reading more is useful, and you should be thankful that you have been reading carefully all these years."
But Zhang Zhijuan insisted. She said, "Xianqiu, you must accept these cakes. It is because of you that I can read books, so you must take these cakes."
Seeing Zhang Zhijuan's firm attitude, He Xianqiu could only take it, and then smiled and said to Zhang Zhijuan: "Then I'll take it."
Seeing He Xianqiu accept it, Zhang Zhijuan was satisfied, "That's right, Xianqiu, I won't chat with you anymore, I'll go back and continue reading."
Just as Zhang Zhijuan turned to leave, He Xianqiu said, "Sister Zhijuan, I have some reference books for you. You should read these books and practice for a while. And since you are here, I don't have to go over there."
When Zhang Zhijuan heard that there was a data room, she was immediately surprised, and then thanked He Xianqiu.
"Thank you, Xianqiu. I was thinking of going to the bookstore to look for it myself and see if there is any information."
But after the surprise, Zhang Zhijuan asked worriedly, "What will you do if the information is given to me?"
After all, there is little information now and many people cannot get it. I will return it to her when she finishes copying it.
He Xianqiu smiled and said, "I have another one myself, so you can take this one. Sister Zhijuan doesn't have to return it to me when the time comes."
Zhang Zhijuan thought about it, and then said, "Then Xianqiu, I have to give you money, after all, I'm watching."
He Xianqiu shook his head and said, "No, you can use it. Sister Zhijuan, please wait for me. I'll go in and get the reference book."
After saying that, He Xianqiu turned and went into the house, and after a few minutes he came out with a reference book.
"Sister Zhijuan, this is for you."
Zhang Zhijuan took it gratefully, "Thank you, Xianqiu."
Then he stuffed three dollars into He Xianqiu's pocket and ran away.
After running away, Zhang Zhijuan shouted, "Xianqiu, I thought about it and decided that I can't take advantage of you. Of course, I'm going to use this information, so I have to pay for it. And these information books are so rare. I'm really grateful that you can give them to me. And Xianqiu, I'm leaving first, you should also review well."
After saying this, Zhang Zhijuan ran back to the educated youth site.
When the people at the educated youth site saw Zhang Zhijuan taking the information room that they couldn't get, they immediately asked excitedly: "Zhang Zhiqing, where did you get this? Do you have any more?"
Zhang Zhijuan shook her head. "It's gone. This is what people saved for me."
When the other educated youth heard Zhang Zhijuan say that, they immediately became discouraged.
But he still asked Zhang Zhijuan: "Where did you get it?"
They also wanted to ask and try their luck.
But Zhang Zhijuan didn't want them to disturb He Xianqiu, so she didn't say anything and changed the subject. "No, I'll go in and read if nothing else. If it doesn't work, you can find a chance to copy it when I'm not reading."
Having said that, Zhang Zhijuan immediately left with the book in her arms.
The others looked at her back and made some guesses in their minds.
"It should have been given by He Xianqiu. After all, it was given by He Zhiqing."
"It's He Zhiqing. After all, Zhang Zhiqing liked to borrow He Zhiqing's books to read."
Then they thought about the fact that He Xianqiu only gave it to Zhang Zhijuan, and some people were complaining.
"He Zhiqing, why did you only give it to Zhang Zhiqing? We are also her partners."
"That's right, how could He Zhiqing do this?"
But some people thought what they said was wrong, and other educated youth could not stand it and refuted it.
"Why would He Zhiqing give it to us? We are not familiar with her and we even excluded her before. Why would she give it to us?"
"Besides, this information book is so hard to get, so of course it should be given to someone close to you."
"Besides, reference books are very expensive nowadays. Zhang Zhiqing also said that he would lend them to us to copy when the time comes. This means that He Zhiqing is indirectly helping us. If anyone is unwilling, then don't touch the reference book."
Then those who complained no longer dared to refute what he said and fell silent.
No one would be unwilling to copy reference books. After all, reference books are rare, and if they can copy them, their chances of returning to the city will be greater.
The person who refuted looked at the person who complained and said nothing. He just sneered and immediately went to borrow a book from Zhang Zhijuan to see when she stopped reading it and then copy it for him.
When the others saw him going to find He Zhiqing, they followed him.
After all, the team leader has relaxed the time for them to go to the fields because they are preparing for the college entrance examination. They only need to go in the morning and read books for them in the afternoon.
I now have more time to copy reference books and read books.
On the other hand, He Xianqiu didn’t know what was happening at the educated youth point.
But when I suddenly found out about it, I didn't have any thoughts. Since I moved out of the educated youth point, I have rarely had any contact with them, so naturally I won't pay attention to the educated youth point anymore.
After that, He Xianqiu started a life of going back and forth between work and home every day, doing exercises after dinner.
Fortunately, the soap factory was not busy, so He Xianqiu just focused on doing his exercises.
Ji Chenzhou, on the other hand, just stayed at home and did his homework every day, and then cooked when the time came.
During these dozens of days, the couple took a day off to register for the college entrance examination, and then continued to concentrate on practicing questions, and then finished a large number of test papers.
Then when we encounter questions we don’t know, we will discuss them together.
He Xianqiu is not so good at science and engineering, so he would ask Ji Chenzhou difficult questions about science and engineering.
Ji Chenzhou is not very good at English, so he would ask He Xianqiu difficult English questions.
After finishing the questions, the two of them continued to practice the questions.
Tangyuan also knew that his parents were about to take the college entrance examination and he couldn't disturb them from doing exercises or reading, so he would go out and play in the yard or the main room by himself.
Sometimes I would mix some grape water into the water for my parents to sweeten their mouths.
This touched He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou very much. They thought their Tangyuan was so sensible.
So I work harder on practicing exercises and reading books. After all, my child is so sensible, so I have to work harder.
After all, I want to give him a good future and let him grow up happily.
