In fact, Lin Yiyi expected Lin Dajun's hesitation. After all, Lin Dajun graduated early. Although he worked part-time while studying, his life was still very comfortable. He seemed to have never worried about anything, studying, building a house, working part-time, getting married, and working as a worker. For him, life was just a day-to-day life, but he himself was a person who lived a day-to-day life.

Seeing Lin Yiyi was silent, Lin Dajun shrank his neck and said, "Sister, you...you decide."

Lin Yiyi didn't want to preach to him anymore. She was tired and said to him directly: "You should take the college entrance examination too." Anyway, Lin Dajun had a good brain when he was in school. In fact, the first college entrance examination after its resumption was relatively easy. As long as you studied hard, you would be able to pass. The worst case scenario was that you would do worse on the test and go to a worse school.

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, then you can take the exam too." As for her sister-in-law, she would not make the decision for them, that was their life, but for her brother, she could still make the decision. "However, we cannot tell anyone that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. After all, it is a secret. We are not sure whether it can be resumed or not, but the probability is a little higher. However, we cannot tell anyone before the country announces this matter, otherwise once it gets out, we may be charged with a crime and may even be locked up." Except for Lin Dajun, none of the brothers are stupid. Although Lin Dajun is not as smart as the brothers, he is afraid of death and is still strict. As for the brothers and sisters, Ying Shuang, Jiang Xiaotu, and Lin Zhen are also smart people. There are no relatives in Ying Shuang's family who are going to take the college entrance examination. Jiang Xiaotu has a younger sister, but don't worry, Jiang is very strict. As for Lin Zhen, she has two daughters. She feels a little guilty about Lin Dajun and will not be biased towards her mother's family. So Lin Yiyi is still relieved, but still has to remind her, "If I know that any of you spread this matter, if it's my brother, cut off the relationship directly, and if it's my sister-in-law, go back to your mother's family directly."

Lin Sanjun: "Don't worry, sister. We know what we are doing."

My sisters-in-law also nodded.

Lin Sijun: "Sister, if we are going to take the college entrance examination, what about jobs?"

Lin Yiyi: "After the New Year, you can quit your job. If you are like Dajun, you can give the job to Xiaozhen. You can review your high school books at home, take care of your daughter, and cook for Xiaozhen."

Lin Zhen: “Okay.” She was still very excited.

Lin Sanjun: "I said my leg injury recurred, so I had to resign." His job was transferred to someone else, so he had to resign. When he retired, the army gave him a retirement allowance, and he also received a bonus for the mission that injured his leg. The two sums added up to about 1,000 yuan. With the salary he saved as a policeman in the past few years and the savings he had made before, Lin Sanjun had a deposit of 2,000 yuan. In fact, his wife is even richer. Both of Ying's parents died, and she has received double allowances since she was a child, as well as the pension from her parents, plus the money Ying left for her before he died. This is a rich person.

Therefore, Lin Sanjun and his wife had no objection at all to the issue of not working.

Ying Shuang: "I will continue to work at the clinic. It's not an easy job anyway." After all, there were very few people who were sick, so she just prescribed some medicine.

Lin Sijun: "I also resigned. I sold my job and said that I was not in good health and could not continue to work." Lin Sijun's job was still flexible and he could sell his job. After selling it, he also had some money. With the salary savings, he and his wife had more than 1,000 yuan in savings.

Lin Wujun: "Sister, are you also taking the college entrance examination?"

Lin Yiyi: "...I am old enough, so I won't take part." She will be 32 years old next year, why should she take the college entrance examination?

Lin Dajun refused to give in: "Sister, you are only two years older than me."

Lin Zhen: "Sister looks younger than me."

Lin Yiyi: "..." Although she looks only about 23 or 24, she is indeed that age. She has been to college, so she is not obsessed with college. But her brothers are different, they have not been to college, so she hopes they can try college life. The result... Is this digging a hole for herself?

Xiao-Woo: "You can go too."

Lin Yiyi: “Ah?”

Xiao-Woo: "I'll tell you later."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, I'll go too." But she studied Chinese language and literature before, and if she takes the college entrance examination next year, she will definitely not choose this major. Based on her understanding of the future, she decided to study law. Of course, studying law does not mean that she wants to be a lawyer, she has already decided on the direction of the future. She plans to start her own business, and she does not plan to use real estate to get rich. She knows that with her savings, after the reform and opening up, she can buy dozens of houses in the county. When the domestic real estate starts to explode after 2000, she will immediately become a billionaire, but this kind of using known knowledge to get rich can not make her feel fulfilled and happy.

Of course, it’s not impossible to use what you know to get rich quickly, it’s just that everyone has different ideas.

After the family made the decision, everyone began to look forward to the college entrance examination.

When she was sleeping at night, Lin Yiyi asked, "Why did you let me take the college entrance examination?"

Xiao Yu: "If, as you said, reform and opening up come, the college entrance examination is restored, and the domestic economy and everything else are recovering, then I will also leave the current army." The current army is just a transition for Xiao Yu. By next year, he will only be 37 years old, still the golden age for men, and he is not prepared to spend his whole life in the island army.

Years later, the Lin family became the topic of discussion in the entire Shanglin Brigade. If the Lin family was a blessed family 77 years ago, then after 1977, the Lin family was an unlucky family.

First, Lin Dajun was in poor health, and Lin Zhen took over his job. Even if the worker's job was still there, it would be a tragedy for the family if the man had health problems. People who used to envy Lin Zhen were now laughing at her in their hearts. This person... how could she be blessed all her life? Even Captain Lin and his wife were concerned.

However, Lin Zhen did not tell Captain Lin and his wife about the college entrance examination. If too many people knew about it, the news would spread immediately. Even if she believed her parents, they still had other children. They might tell other children about it, and then the other children would spread the news. So Lin Zhen was very cautious and did not tell her parents about the resumption of the college entrance examination.

But Captain Lin and his wife were relieved when they saw Lin Dajun's condition, because Lin Dajun's health was still good on the surface, and Ying Shuang testified that Lin Dajun only needed to recuperate for a year and would be fine. After a year, he could take over Lin Zhen's job again.

Then, the news that Lin Dajun only needed one year to recuperate spread, and those who secretly laughed at Lin Zhen became angry again. They thought Lin Dajun was in poor health, but it turned out that he would be well again after one year. They were so happy for nothing.

In fact, they didn't know that one year later was just a saying. After the college entrance examination was resumed, Lin Dajun took the college entrance examination. This one year later was not important at all. Even if the college entrance examination was not resumed, Lin Dajun could recover after one year and continue to work. So for Lin Dajun's family, there was no loss at all.

The gossip about Lin Dajun's family is no longer interesting, now comes the gossip about Lin Sanjun's family. Lin Sanjun's leg injury has relapsed, and Lin Sanjun has resigned.

Before we had enough gossip about Lin Sanjun’s family, here comes gossip about Lin Sijun’s family. Lin Sijun also “got sick” and sold his job.

During the past six months, the Lin family has become the topic of conversation in the Shanglin Production Brigade. However, the Lin family members don't care, they are studying hard.

In fact, in the second half of 1977, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination had not yet come out, and the Lin family was a little suspicious. If it weren't for Lin Yiyi saying that it had been confirmed by the higher authorities and it was just a matter of time before it was announced, they wouldn't have dared to believe it. However, they always believed in their sister and listened to her, so they continued to wait.

Finally, on October 21, 1978, this sacred day arrived. On this day, major media outlets across the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination and revealed that this year's college entrance examination would be held in a month and a half, and in the county where Lin Yiyi lived, the college entrance examination would be held on December 11 and 12.

Students all over the country were excited, especially the educated youth, who saw hope, the hope of returning to the city. On this day, many educated youth cried.

On the second day after the college entrance examination results were announced, Lin Yiyi asked Lin Sijun to send a set of high school books to Fang Cao. Lin Yiyi did not tell Fang Cao in advance, and sending a set of books after the announcement was already a great favor.

Since the announcement of the college entrance examination, a tense atmosphere has emerged in the production brigade under the Sunshine Commune. The educated youth began to stop working and only focused on studying. Among the four brothers of the Lin family, six took the college entrance examination, which really shocked the entire production brigade. Of course, there were also many people who gossiped behind their backs.

The two days of the college entrance examination on December 11 and 12 passed quickly. After the college entrance examination, it meant filling in the application form. Lin Dajun was a man without a strong opinion. He also took the college entrance examination, but he didn't know what to fill in the application form, so he asked Lin Yiyi: "Sister, what major should I study?"

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "You should go to Agricultural University." After graduation, you can be your own boss. Of course, it is only 1977, and the reform and opening up started in 1978.

Lin Dajun: "Agricultural University? Then what will I do after graduation?"

Lin Yiyi: "After graduation, you can plant or raise livestock. During college, you should read more books on these two aspects. If you encounter any questions you don't understand, ask the teacher more." Teachers like students who ask questions when they don't understand. "After graduation, you will no longer be a worker in a pig farm, but a skilled worker." Although, she wants Lin Dajun to plant fruits and raise poultry by himself. He thinks that with Lin Dajun's personality, it is most suitable for him to contract some land in the countryside after graduation, and then plant a fruit garden and raise chickens, ducks and pigs. Lin Zhen's personality is still relatively simple. She may feel uncomfortable if she lives in a big city. It is better for her and her husband to start a business in their hometown.

Lin Dajun: "Then I'll listen to my elder sister."

Lin Sanjun: "What am I applying for?"

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Why not apply to the police academy? Or maybe a management job?" Sanjun is good at martial arts, so he can work in the security field in the future, open a security company, or a logistics company. With Sanjun's personality, he can control people.

Lin Sanjun thought for a moment and said, "Police Academy." It suits him.

Lin Sijun: "I applied for the computer major." Lin Sijun knows what he likes.

Lin Wujun: "I applied for the design major."

Jiang Xiaotu: "I'm a teacher training major."

Ying Shuang: “I’m a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.”

Lin Yiyi: "I am the law."

The family seemed to have involved all kinds of professions. I have to say that more people is better. Next, I waited anxiously for the notification letter to arrive.

The Shanglin Production Team was also waiting for the Lin family's college students, and everyone was betting privately on how many college students the Lin family would send. Of course, they were not gambling, they were just having fun.

The notice arrived before the New Year.

"Lin Dajun...Lin Dajun's notification letter has arrived."

"Lin Sanjun... Lin Sanjun's notification letter has arrived."

"Ying Shuang...Ying Shuang's notice has arrived."

“…”

Although the Lin family didn't produce any top scorers in the college entrance examination, every one of the few who took the exam passed. Speaking of which, Lin Dajun's score was the lowest among the brothers, but the major that Lin Dajun chose was relatively conservative, and at the moment, it was also an unpopular major. Since it was an unpopular major, there were few applicants, so the admission score would be relatively low, not to mention that Lin Dajun didn't apply to a key university.

However, except for Lin Dajun, everyone else took the key university exams. Lin Wujun had the highest score in the family, Ying Shuang was second, Lin Sijun was third, Jiang Xiaotu was fourth, Lin Yiyi was fifth, Lin Sanjun was sixth, and Lin Dajun was seventh.

In response to this, Lin Dajun said he didn't care at all.

Actually, to put it bluntly, when companies are selecting employees, they don't really care which university they graduated from. As long as they hear that they are college students, everyone's eyes will be different. Needless to say, this was in the 1970s and 1980s. Even in 2020, when there are college students everywhere, companies don't really care which university employees graduated from. Companies care more about employees' work ability and work experience.

After the notice came, the Lin family started to hold a banquet. With six college students in one class, this banquet was essential. At the same time, the Lin family also attracted the attention of the county government and attracted interviews from newspapers. In this era, not to mention six college students in one class, even a village didn't have six college students. How glorious was this? Even Captain Lin was praised by the leaders.

The Lin family was featured in the newspaper. Although the six college students were praised, the one who was praised the most was the woman behind the six college students, Lin Yiyi, the head of the Lin family. The report described how Lin Yiyi worked hard to raise her four younger brothers after their parents passed away, built houses for them, and married them off... Everyone who read the newspaper felt sad. In the center of the report was a family portrait of the Lin family, with Lin Yiyi sitting in the middle, with her younger brothers, sisters-in-law, and children next to her.

After the Lin family's banquet, the Xiao family's banquet also began. In addition to Lin Yiyi, the Xiao family also had another person who was admitted to a junior college, Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui's grades were average, but he was a hard-working person. To the villagers, there was no difference between college students and junior college students, and junior college students were also college students.

1979 was the most exciting year for the people of the whole country. After the New Year, with the arrival of spring, the reopened doors of universities were about to welcome their "children".

The Lin family and Lin Yiyi's family also moved to the capital after the New Year, but Lin Dajun's family did not go. Lin Zhen had to work on a pig farm, and the school that Lin Dajun applied to was also relatively close to his home, in the provincial capital, and it only took five or six hours to get back by car.

Everyone was not nervous about going to the capital, and temporarily stayed at Ying Shuang's house. The Ying family's small house was enough to accommodate everyone, after all, each family had one room.

But after staying at Ying's house for two days, Lin Yiyi's family bought a house. After Lin Yiyi filled out her application form, Xiao Yu entrusted Qian Tai to find the house. This year, many people have been rehabilitated. After those people came back, they were faced with houses that had changed everything, and many were willing to sell them. What's more, Qian Tai has a good reputation and is a policeman, so it is not difficult to find a house.

Lin Yiyi: "This small western-style building is very nice, with a good layout and location, but it needs to be renovated and is a bit shabby."

Xiao-Woo: "Decorate it however you want."

Lin Yiyi: "But the layout of this house is fixed, the decoration layout cannot be changed, what can be changed is the style, let's use a modern minimalist style." This house will be rebuilt in the future, so a modern minimalist style is more appropriate. And Lin Yiyi herself likes this style. "Then demolish the rooms on the first floor, so that the living room on the first floor will be larger." The biggest disadvantage of this small house is that the living room is relatively small. The living room is small and there are more rooms. But Lin Yiyi doesn't care about the number of rooms, as long as it is enough to live in, she likes a larger living room.

Xiao Yu: "It's up to you to decide. I'll leave the renovation to you. I'll come over in the second half of the year at the latest."

Lin Yiyi: “Yeah.”

Before Lin Yiyi started school, Xiao Yu took his two sons back to Datang Production Brigade and took Qin Xiangju to the army. Xiao Shijiu is in the first grade this year, and Xiao Shiyi is in the second grade. They will both be in the next grade in the second half of the year, so they will wait until the second half of the year to transfer.

Four years later

Jingle bells...

Lin Yiyi ran out of the kitchen wearing a royal blue sweater suit and answered the phone: "Hello?"

Lin Dajun: "Sister, your villa has been completed and the decoration has been going on for half a year. When will you come back?" After graduating from university last winter, Lin Dajun started his own business in 1982. He contracted land in the village and opened a pig farm and a chicken farm. Lin Zhen's family helped to manage the business. Because of limited funds, Lin Yiyi also invested half of the shares.

The company that Lin Dajun started and registered was called Dajun Subsidiary Food Co., Ltd.

At the same time, Lin Yiyi also started her own business. Lin Yiyi, who is 37 years old this year, looks to be about 28 years old. As long as a woman takes good care of herself, you will never be able to tell her age from her appearance.

Lin Yiyi's company is called Yishuang Body Management Health Care Center. She did not start the business alone, but brought Ying Shuang to start the business together. As Ying Lao's granddaughter and apprentice, Ying Shuang is well-known in the Chinese medicine circle. With her in charge of the health care center, people are very convinced.

Yishuang Body Management Health Care Center is in the capital, but Lin Yiyi built two health care villas in the countryside, which are used as health care practice sites. In other words, the management staff and the health care base are separate.

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, I'll come around in early April."

Lin Dajun: "Well, I understand."

Lin Yiyi finished her breakfast and went to the studio.

Double body management health center

"Sister Yiyi, you're here? You have an appointment with the first client at 9:30 this morning. Here is the client information." The female assistant gave the client information to Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi looked up the customer information and sat down: "Yang Le, height 162cm, weight 162kg, age 25, and has been unable to lose weight since giving birth to her second child."

Lin Yiyi: "Have you told the customers? If our studio takes on body management and health care, we need the customers' medical examination reports."

Female assistant: "I told the client that she has received the medical examination report and confirmed the appointment with us for 9:30 today."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, I understand. By the way, is Doctor Ying here?"

Boom boom boom…

Ying Shuang: "Big sister."

Lin Yiyi looked at Ying Shuang and still couldn't imagine that when she first approached Ying Shuang to plan to open this studio, Ying Shuang agreed immediately. She asked Ying Shuang why he agreed so readily?

Ying Shuang said: She is very interested in body management and health care. Every woman loves beauty and has the right to pursue beauty.

In fact, Lin Yiyi is also very interested in the pursuit of beauty. So, the two of them hit it off immediately. In fact, the reason why she went to Ying Shuang was mainly because of Ying Shuang's medical skills, but if she changed her identity, it was Lin Zhen or Jiang Xiaotu who had such medical skills, she would not go to them, because these two people are not Ying Shuang, and their personalities are different. Ying Shuang is from the capital and grew up in the capital since she was a child, which means that she has her own understanding of fashion and beauty. People who grew up in big cities are different from those who grew up in small places, and their views are different. For example, Ying Shuang is willing to buy beautiful clothes, even if the price is a bit expensive. But Lin Zhen and Jiang Xiaotu are reluctant to do so, even if they have money.

9:30

A female guest named Yang Le came. Because she was fat, she couldn't wear any of the nicest clothes.

Lin Yiyi: "Welcome, I am Lin Yiyi, the head of the studio, and this is our Chinese medicine doctor Ying Shuang."

You can tell at first glance that Yang Le is a rich man, so he is a bit arrogant in his bones. However, the arrogance of such people is towards people. They will look down on people, but the people they despise are those who are worse off than them. They will respect those who are better off than them or have the same status as them.

Yang Le: "Hello, Ms. Lin, Dr. Ying. You all know the reason why I came here today. I would like to ask you about my... current appearance. What do you think if I want to manage my body and keep fit?"

Lin Yiyi: "Excuse me, did you bring your medical examination report?"

Yang Le: "I brought it." She took out the medical report and said, "Doctor Ying, please take a look."

Ying Shuang: "Before looking at the medical report, let me take your pulse first."
