When Cai Chunlan heard the news, she almost dropped the enamel pot in her hand: "What, what, what, you said that the former manager of Dongfeng Hotel got the first place in the city?"
The colleague nodded: "Yes, the total score is 500, and Manager Tong got 494 points, and also got 100 points in English. This score is not only the first in Beijing, but also no one in the whole country can surpass her."
The first time the college entrance examination was resumed, the test questions were not unified nationwide. Each province and city had its own test questions, and the difficulty of the test questions varied.
But according to statistics, the scores of various places were generally not high. A score of more than 300 was considered a high score. The admission score line in some provinces and cities was only 200.
But Manager Tong got 494 points, which was really excellent!
Another colleague came over and said, "I heard that the leaders and professors of Tsinghua University and Peking University are now competing for her. All the colleges are also trying to compete for her. To get such a score, she must be a genius."
Cai Chunlan: "......?!"
Genius?
In her impression, Tong Xuelu has nothing to do with genius. Not long ago, she laughed at her for being stupid.
Unexpectedly, in less than three months, her face was swollen.
At dinner in the evening, she couldn't help but tell the news at the dinner table.
"Have you heard? Tong Xuelu got the first place in the city in the college entrance examination and got 100 points in English. Why don't I believe it?" After
these words came out, the living room was quiet for a few seconds.
Brother Tong forgot to chew the meat in his mouth, and said in shock: "Are you telling the truth? Xuelu really got the first place in the city?"
Tong Xuelu has always been the last in the class since she was a child, and she actually got into college?
And she got the first place in the city.
Not to mention Cai Chunlan, he couldn't believe his ears.
Cai Chunlan nodded: "I heard that several universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University are competing for her. Do you think... could she know the test questions in advance?"
"Bang".
Tong's father slammed the chopsticks on the table and shouted with a sullen face: "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, you and the second brother will get a divorce tomorrow!" Everyone
was shocked, and they were even more shocked to hear the following words.
Cai Chunlan's face turned pale: "Dad, I..."
Tong's father looked at her seriously: "I don't care what you think, anyway, I'm putting this here, if you want to die, go back to your mother's house and die, our Tong family can't keep people like you."
Cai Chunlan's face turned red and white: "Dad, I know, I won't say anything nonsense."
Tong's father looked at the others: "All of you listen to me clearly, our Tong family can't stand more troubles, if you really want to do good for this family, shut up and don't go to Tong Xuelu."
He also regretted not helping Tong Xuelu when she was in trouble, but it was a miss. If he
tried to help now, it would be shameless.
He couldn't do such a thing.
The eldest and second brothers Tong: "Dad, we heard it clearly."
Chen Yueling also quickly stated her position.
Only Tong's mother looked very ugly.
She knew that her husband said this to her, and she did want to find Tong Xuelu for a moment just now.
Although Tong Xuelu was not her biological daughter, she had raised her for more than ten years. Why didn't she acknowledge her?
Later, when she heard what Cai Chunlan said, her heart became alive.
However, the flame had just jumped up when her husband poured a basin of cold water on it and extinguished it.
At this time, the Wen family and the Tong family were happier than the New Year.
Grandpa Wen had already shown off in the military compound, but he was not satisfied yet.
At this moment, he puffed out his chest like a victorious rooster: "It's not that I'm exaggerating, my future granddaughter-in-law is smarter than the average person, she's only six points away from full marks, can your children achieve this?"
Everyone: "..." Can't, can't.
Grandpa Wen sighed and said: "Rugui is so smart, and my future granddaughter-in-law is even smarter. I'm worried that their children will be extremely smart in the future."
Everyone: "..."
They don't know whether Rugui's child will be extremely smart, but Grandpa, you are so proud of yourself that everyone present can feel it.
Old Master Wen smiled and narrowed his eyes: "This morning, the president of National Tsing Hua University called me and told me to let Xue Lu go to National Tsing Hua University. In the afternoon, the president of Beijing University also called me. This is really too embarrassing."
Everyone: "..."
They couldn't listen any more. The more they listened, the more they felt that their children were too stupid to look at.
Coincidentally, Commander Xiao in the army was also very proud and his face was red.
"Commander Xiao, why are you smiling so happily? Is there any good news?"
Commander Xiao said calmly: "It's not a happy event. My granddaughter was admitted to university."
"Admitted to university? Congratulations to Commander Xiao. I wonder which university it is?"
Commander Xiao: "I haven't decided yet. Tsinghua University and Peking University both want my granddaughter to go to their schools. They asked me to help persuade them, but I said I can't make the decision." Everyone
: "..."
The presidents of Tsinghua University and Peking University personally snatched people away. Isn't this too awesome?
"Commander Xiao, how many points did your granddaughter get in the exam? She must be an outstanding talent to be able to make the presidents of Tsinghua University and Peking University compete for her."
Commander Xiao waved his hand and continued "modestly": "She is not that outstanding. The total score is 500, but she only scored 494 points. She can still work hard."
Everyone: "..."
This is not that outstanding? She
only scored 494 points?
Commander Xiao, keep showing off.
Tong Xuelu was receiving the leaders of Tsinghua University and Peking University at this time.
Director of the Admissions Office of Tsinghua University: "Comrade Tong, as long as you are willing to come to our Tsinghua University, you can raise any requirements you have, and we will definitely satisfy you!" Director of the
Admissions Office of Peking University: "Comrade Tong, as long as you are willing to come to our Peking University, no matter what conditions Tsinghua University gives you, we Peking University will give you twice as much."
Director of Admissions Office of Tsinghua University: "..."
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
The two of them started arguing, and they almost talked to each other to win over the talent.
The total score was 500 points, of which mathematics, physics and chemistry all got full marks, and only politics and Chinese were deducted 6 points together, and English also got full marks.
This is simply a genius among geniuses. The president has given them a task. Such talents must be snatched up at all costs!
Tong Xuelu had a black line on his face: "Can the two directors listen to me?"
The two admissions directors immediately stopped arguing: "Comrade Tong, please speak."
Tong Xuelu said: "I applied for the English major in the college entrance examination, so I want to go to Beijing Foreign Studies University to study English."
Director of Admissions Office of Tsinghua University: "..."
Director of Admissions Office of Beijing University: "..."
What what what? ? They talked until their mouths dried, but in the end they wanted to give the Foreign Languages College a break?
How could this be possible?
The director of the admissions office of Peking University said: "Comrade Tong, why do you want to go to the Foreign Languages College? The foreign language teaching staff of the country is concentrated in Peking University and the Foreign Languages College, but it is obvious that our teachers at Peking University are more powerful. You can definitely consider our school."
The director of the admissions office of Tsinghua University said: "Comrade Tong, are you worried that Tsinghua University does not have a foreign language department? You are wrong. Tsinghua University has recruited English, Japanese and German undergraduates in 1965, 1970 and 1974, and has trained many foreign language teachers and foreign language translators for the country."
Tong Xuelu was stunned. She remembered that the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University was not rebuilt until after 1983, but she didn't expect that it had never been interrupted.
Seeing that she was interested, the director of the admissions office of Tsinghua University quickly continued, "Comrade Tong, as long as you are willing to come to our school, we can rebuild the Foreign Languages Department now." The director
of the admissions office of Peking University: "..." This is simply too shameless.
As long as you are Chinese, you have a dream of going to Tsinghua University.
Tong Xuelu heard this and said that she would consider it if conditions permit.
The director of the admissions office of Tsinghua University was ecstatic to hear this, and happily trotted back to make a report. The director
of the admissions office of Peking University had a frustrated look on his face, and repeatedly asked Tong Xuelu to think about it again.
Who knew that things would take twists and turns.
Although Tsinghua University wanted to retain Tong Xuelu, a talent, the college entrance examination had just been resumed, and there was a severe shortage of teachers across the country. It was impossible to rebuild the Foreign Languages Department immediately for her alone.
At present, foreign language teaching staff is still concentrated in two universities, Peking University and Beijing Foreign Languages College.
After careful consideration, Tong Xulu finally chose to go to Peking University.
For Peking University, this is like a ray of hope.
I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect that the talent would eventually fall into my school.
The leaders of Peking University were so happy that they wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
After the professors and teachers of various departments of Peking University knew about it, they launched a new round of war for talent.
Professor of the School of Mathematics: "Tong scored 100 points in math and even solved the last additional question. How can such a talent not come to our math department?"
Professor of the School of Physics: "Tong also scored 100 points in physics. I heard that her fiancé is a physics researcher. I think she should come to our School of Physics. They can be husband and wife in the future."
Professor of the Department of Chemistry: "Tong also scored 100 points in chemistry. Our Chemistry Department is so short of talents. I think she should come to our Chemistry Department."
Dean of the Department of Foreign Languages: "All of you get out of here. I will be angry with anyone who competes with me for talents. Tong scored 100 points in English. This is a real diplomatic talent!"
Tong Xuelu knew that professors and deans of various departments were competing for her, and she was sweating coldly.
Only she knew that she was not a great talent at all.
The reason why she got such high scores was entirely because of the golden finger. The fact that
other candidates did not get high scores did not mean that they were not smart.
People of this generation are not stupid at all. They were delayed in their studies for more than ten years, and they did not have a learning environment, so their scores were worse than hers.
Once they entered colleges and universities, many of them later became outstanding talents in various fields.
But she actually did not have a talent for mathematics and physics. If she entered those majors, she would only find it more and more difficult to learn.
She was very self-aware of this.
Therefore, she resolutely chose the English major.
In addition to her admission to the university, Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Danhong were also admitted.
Fang Jingyuan was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. Her score just barely passed the admission line, and she almost had to retake the exam.
Jiang Danhong was admitted to Beijing Agricultural University.
Wei Ran failed the college entrance examination by ten points and became very depressed.
Tong Xuelu encouraged him to keep working hard, as the second college entrance examination would be held in July this year and time was tight. If he continued to slack off, he would probably fail again.
Fortunately, Wei Ran was a man of strong character and he cheered up after being depressed for two or three days.
Both Old Man Wen and Commander Xiao said they wanted to celebrate, but Tong Xuelu refused.
She was too high-profile to get such a result, and many people were paying attention to her, but she was not a truly capable talent, so it was better to keep a low profile. After
the final discussion, they only invited familiar people to celebrate at home.
**
The day before yesterday, Tong Xuelu received a telegram informing her to go to the hospital for a physical examination.
Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Danhong also received the telegram, so the three of them agreed to go together today.
When they arrived at the hospital, they followed the instructions to go to the service desk to get the medical examination form. The staff asked them to take out the medical examination notice.
Tong Xuelu and Jiang Danhong took out the notice and handed it over. Fang Jingyuan searched for it but found that it was missing. Fang Jingyuan
was so anxious that her face turned red: "I remember I put it in my military bag when I went out. How come it disappeared?"
Tong Xuelu: "Don't worry, look for it carefully. Also, did you take it out before coming to the hospital?"
Fang Jingyuan said anxiously: "It seems to be there, but it also seems not to be there. I can't remember."
Hearing this, Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes.
Fang Jingyuan has been in a state of excitement these days since she was admitted. It is not the first time that she has been careless in doing things.
Jiang Danhong turned around and asked the staff, "Hello, comrade, can I take the physical examination without the notice?"
The staff said with a fierce face and a sneer, "Of course not. Without the notice, how would I know if you are college students?"
Fang Jingyuan was so anxious that tears were about to come out: "Oh my god, if there is no notice, then I can't take the physical examination?"
Before going to college, it is required to take a physical examination. Now that she has lost the notice, she is worried that she will have to take the college entrance examination again.
Tong Xuelu frowned and said, "Let's go out and look for it."
At this moment, a slender female comrade came over and said, "Did you lose a medical examination notice?"
Fang Jingyuan's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, yes, I lost it. Did you pick up my medical examination notice?"
The female comrade said, "I did pick up one. Can you see if this is yours?"
Fang Jingyuan took it and jumped up happily, "It's mine. Thank you, comrade. I thought I couldn't have the medical examination today!"
Before the female comrade could speak, the man next to her One of the girls started to complain, "Why did you give it to her? You should at least ask her name. What if someone is impersonating you?"
The female comrade paused, pinched her nose and smiled innocently, "That shouldn't happen. Who would impersonate someone else in such a situation?"
Fang Jingyuan quickly took out her work ID and admission ticket, "I'm not impersonating someone. Look, my name is Fang Jingyuan."
Seeing this, the female comrade smiled even more brightly, "Cousin, I told you that no one would impersonate you."
The person who was called cousin pursed her lips and said nothing. Fang Jingyuan said with
a grateful look on her face: "I'm so sorry to have you this time. By the way, my name is Fang Jingyuan. What's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Baihui. I'm a student in the English Department of the School of Foreign Languages of Peking University. What about you?" Fang Jingyuan called out: "Ah, how can it be such a coincidence?" Jiang Baihui's eyes widened, and she looked confused: "Are you also students in the English Department of the School of Foreign Languages?" Fang Jingyuan shook her head: "I'm not, I'm my friend. Let me tell you, my friend is amazing. She got the first place in Beijing." Jiang Baihui and her cousin were shocked when they heard it. Jiang Baihui, in particular, had her cheeks flushed with excitement: "Excuse me, who is your friend?" Fang Jingyuan turned around and pointed at Tong Xuelu, and said proudly: "This is my friend. She got 100 points in English." Jiang Baihui looked at Tong Xuelu with the eyes of a fan: "Oh my God, so you are Comrade Tong. I heard a long time ago that there is a comrade in Jing City who got full marks. I didn't expect you to be so young and so beautiful." Jiang Baihui's cousin also looked at Tong Xuelu with admiration, but said nothing. Fang Jingyuan continued to brag, "You may not know, but Xuelu is not only beautiful and good at studying, but also cooks delicious food. Have you heard of the Dongfeng Hotel?" Jiang Baihui nodded like a chicken, "I've heard of it." Fang Jingyuan puffed out her chest and said proudly, "The manager of that hotel is Xuelu." Jiang Baihui screamed again, "Oh my God, I've been to the Dongfeng Hotel twice. The spicy hot pot and beef balls there are so delicious, but I didn't see the hotel manager when I went there. Turns out it was you." "Comrade Tong is so happy to see you. Can I shake your hand?" Tong Xuelu: "..." Jiang Baihui looked as if she had seen fans of her idol in her previous life. She was very familiar with the look of that fangirl. However, it is still necessary to warn Fang Jingyuan after returning, so that she should stop bragging about herself. Tong Xuelu stretched out her hand and shook hands with Jiang Baihui and her cousin. Jiang Baihui blushed with excitement: "I don't want to wash my hands when I go back." Tong Xuelu: "..." Fang Jingyuan and Jiang Baihui got along better and better as they talked, and they hit it off right away. They both have carefree personalities and seem to have no ulterior motives. They both like good-looking people and like to eat delicious food. The two immediately regarded each other as confidants. Tong Xuelu didn't say anything. After the physical examination, they went back to their respective homes and found their respective mothers. ** Military compound, Wen family. At this time, Master Wen's face was no longer arrogant, and his brows were tightly furrowed: "Xiao Zong, is the news confirmed?" Uncle Zong nodded: "It's confirmed. One of the younger generations of the two families has been admitted to a university in Beijing, and they will come to Beijing to report next year." Master Wen's face became more gloomy when he heard this: "Xiao Zong, I'm afraid we can't stop them this time." When the country suddenly announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, he thought of this problem. The resumption of the college entrance examination is to select and cultivate talents for the country. He didn't want to use despicable means to stop and deal with the two families, not to mention that he couldn't stop it. He could stop it once, but could he stop their descendants? And if he really reached out, it would be like leaving a handle for the other party, and one day this handle might turn into a sharp sword and bite back. He was very happy that the country had reinstated the college entrance examination, but when he thought that the two families would take the opportunity to return to Beijing, he felt suffocated. At the same time, he also felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. Uncle Zong replaced the cold tea on the table: "Commander, don't worry, things may not be as bad as you think." Old Master Wen sighed: "What is coming will still come." But as long as he is alive, he will not let that woman be ruined again. Tong Xuelu originally thought that it would take some time to buy the courtyard house she liked, but before the New Year, there was suddenly news that three courtyard houses were for sale. The opportunity was rare, so they hurried to see the house. The three courtyard houses are in the same area, not far apart, and two of them are next to each other. The Wen family and the Wei family almost fought over the purchase of the courtyard house that belonged to the Xiao family. In the end, Master Wen won the victory by selling the house badly.
The price of a courtyard house is about 8,000 yuan. Although the three families can afford it, they have also spent all their savings.
After Tong Xuelu knew the price, she said in her heart that it was too cheap.
If she had been poor, she would definitely buy one and write her own name on it.
After the courtyard house was bought, it had to be renovated and refurbished, because the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, so they could only move in after the Spring Festival.
But Grandpa Wen was still very happy.
From then on, living next door to the Xiao family meant that he would be able to eat the meals cooked by Tong Xuelu often in the future.
It was exciting to think about it.
A few days later, the Spring Festival of 1978 came in the expectation of everyone.
Before the holiday, Wen Rugui was called to the office by Dean Zhuang.
Wen Rugui: "Dean, do you have any instructions for me to come over?"
Dean Zhuang coughed, picked up the enamel pot and took a sip of water, saying: "I have a task to assign to you."
Hearing the word "mission", Wen Rugui's expression became more serious: "Dean, please speak."
Dean Zhuang put down the enamel pot and said: "I heard that your fiancée was admitted to university?"
Hearing Tong Xulu, a touch of tenderness flashed across Wen Rugui's expressionless face, and he nodded: "Yes, she was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of Peking University."
Dean Zhuang: "You have found a partner now, and you are considered to have landed, but you should know that there are still many single men in our base who are still living in dire straits."
Wen Rugui: "..." He just
doesn't have a wife, is there any need to describe it so miserably? Dean Zhuang
