At noon, Ruan Changfu came back from work in a good mood. Before washing his hands and eating, he put down the newspaper with the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination on the dining table, sat down and asked: "Have you all received the official notice? The college entrance examination has been resumed."
Several children at the table nodded, and Ruan Hongbing's voice was the loudest: "Everyone received it!"
But Ruan Changfu didn't pay attention to Ruan Hongbing, who was only in the second grade of elementary school. He picked up chopsticks and looked at Ye Qiuwen and Ye Fan, two high school graduates, and said: "Look at how lucky you are. You just graduated and caught up with such a great thing. It seems that it was specially prepared for you. Since there is such a good opportunity in front of you, you should be in high spirits and prepare well for the exam!"
Ye Fan was also full of energy in his heart for half a day, and now he looks particularly energetic. When he heard the confirmed news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, he was almost overjoyed, because he could go to college to continue learning more knowledge! This is his dream.
He nodded to Ruan Changfu, "Dad, I will!"
Ruan Changfu looked at Ye Qiuwen who was silent, "What about you? Don't you plan to take the exam?"
It has been a year since Ye Qiuwen committed the crime last year. Although that incident has become a stain on Ye Qiuwen and makes people shake their heads when it is mentioned, the matter has long been over. After Ye Qiuwen lost the halo of the proud girl, she is almost the same as other people at home.
The relationship between Ruan Changfu and her has been cold for half a year, but it has gradually eased recently. After all, they are a family, and she is the daughter he raised. He has never treated her as an outsider. It is impossible for him to just abandon her and ignore her if she makes a mistake.
But Ye Qiuwen has always been in an automatic invisible state at home, not talking or smiling, as if everyone owes her something, and she is not close to anyone. If she had not had to rely on her family to live, she would have left this home long ago.
When asked by Ruan Changfu, she raised her head and replied, "Yes, I will take the exam."
Ruan Changfu did not ask her any more questions, and only said, "Since you have decided to take the exam, you will have to work hard for this month, even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, you must pass this exam for me! If you get into college, your life will be different!"
Ye Fan said passionately, "Okay!"
Ye Qiuwen raised her breath in her heart, "Yes."
This is a chance for her to turn over given by God, of course she will take the exam, she will not only take it well, but she will also do well!
No one else said anything to interfere with this matter, and neither did Ruan Xi or Ruan Jie.
After dinner, they went upstairs to the room and sat down. Ruan Qiuyue, who didn't join in the conversation, looked at Ruan Xi and asked, "Sister, it seems that junior high school graduates can also sign up. Aren't you and your cousin going to sign up? Are you planning to finish two years of high school before taking the exam?"
Ruan Xi shook her head, "No, I'm going to take the exam this year."
Ruan Qiuyue was stunned, "Then why didn't you say anything at the dinner table?"
Ruan Xi looked at her and smiled, "What is there to say? Will it add extra points in the college entrance examination if you say it?"
Ruan Qiuyue was stunned again, then smiled and said, "Yeah, it won't."
Moreover, the family obviously all tacitly assumed that they, like Ruan Qiuyang, would not take the college entrance examination this time, so when talking about this topic, they simply ignored them, just like Ruan Qiuyang.
The reason for ignoring them was simple, the main reason was that they were only in junior high school and had not yet started high school. They thought that they would be like Ruan Qiuyang and wait until they graduated from high school to take the exam.
Since no one asked, there was no need to take the initiative to speak. If she did, she would inevitably hear some doubts.
Ruan Xi didn't want to waste more words. She knew what she was doing.
So she didn't say anything at home. In the afternoon, she went to school and Ruan Jie took time to go to the office to pick up the registration form.
Teacher Xie, the head teacher, knew that the two of them had good academic performance. When he handed them the registration form, he said a few more words to encourage them: "I think the other students in our class have no hope, but you two have a little hope. But don't get too excited. Take the exam first and try it. At worst, you can take it again after high school."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie smiled and said thank you to him in unison.
The two took the registration form back, filled it out, and then handed it in to the office, and settled down to review.
Ruan Jie was very excited for the next half day, and couldn't help laughing every now and then while reviewing and doing exercises.
Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing because of her laughter, so she followed her and laughed from time to time.
Ruan Jie was still excited when school was over in the evening. On the way home, she told Ruan Xi, "Although I don't know if I can pass the exam, I still feel very happy. I can't help but feel happy." She
worked hard for four or five years, originally just wanting to learn some knowledge so that she could be educated and knowledgeable to keep up with the times. But she didn't expect to have such a big unexpected gain. Suddenly, she encountered the college entrance examination reinstatement.
As long as she performs normally in this exam and passes the college entrance examination, she can rely on her own ability to have a decent job that others dream of. She doesn't need to rely on her uncle's arrangement. She can have a stable job.
From now on, her destiny will be in her own hands, and no one else can influence it.
In short, the more she thought about it, the happier she was. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh.
Ruan Xi patted her on the shoulder, "Have more confidence in yourself. Do you think any of these students around you learn better than us? Those workers, educated youth, soldiers, peasants and cadres out there have even less time to study and review."
Ruan Jie nodded, "Sister, I am confident. This time I am really confident."
She didn't know anything else, but she was very clear about how far she had learned, and her understanding and mastery of knowledge. As long as she performs normally, she thinks she will have no problem going to college.
Ruan Xi walked forward slowly, "Don't tell anyone about it when you get home, lest people say we are dreaming. There is no need to waste words on this matter with others. In the end, it will be fine as long as we pass the exam ourselves." Ruan Jie
nodded again, "Sister, I know."
Don't say too much, just keep quiet and do great things!
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie walked home slowly. When they were almost home, they saw Ye Qiuwen turning around and going into the house in front of the mailbox in front of the house, so Ruan Jie said, "I wonder if there is a letter for us."
Because there are few letters at home, they don't check the mailbox every day.
Now because they saw that Ye Qiuwen seemed to have picked up the letter, they naturally went to the mailbox to take a look.
When they opened it, there was indeed a letter, which was sent from home.
Looking at the postmark on the letter, it has been two months since it was sent.
Ruan Xi closed the mailbox and took the letter upstairs.
Ruan Jie said beside her, "By the way, I suddenly remembered that Ling Yao seems to have not written to me for several months. Did he stop writing to me after returning to Shenhai?"
Ruan Xi thought about it, "Well, it seems so."
Ruan Jie said, "This Ling Yao forgot about us after returning home."
Ruan Xi looked at her and smiled, "Isn't that good?"
Ruan Jie didn't understand, "Why is it good?"
Ruan Xi said, "It means that he is busy, fulfilled and happy when he returns home, and has no time to think about other things. He has returned to his own world and has his own life. He is no longer as depressed as before, and no longer needs me as a spiritual sustenance."
Ruan Jie thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded again, "That's true."
It is very likely that they will not see each other again in the future. They will have their own lives and friends. The memories of being together for two years will not keep them in touch for long. Sooner or later, they will fade or even be slowly forgotten.
Friends, just silently wish each other a good life in your own world.
And the most important thing for them right now is the college entrance examination!
Work hard to get into college and shine!
Ruan Xi went upstairs and sat down, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter to read. The letter was written by Ruan Zhigao to her, telling her and Ruan Jie in a few words that Qian Chuan had given them a little brother, born on June 14, 1977.
After reading the words on the letter, Ruan Jie laughed and said, "Uncle Wu is a father!"
Ruan Xi also laughed and said, "He must be very happy."
Ruan Jie: "Of course, I am very happy just thinking about it."
Ruan Xi folded the letter happily, stuffed it back into the envelope, and then put the envelope in the drawer.
At the same time, in the next room, Ye Qiuwen was burning the letter with a match.
She burned four letters in total. One was written by Lu Yuanzheng in the army. The sender used a girl's name. There was nothing unusual in the content. It just told her that GWY officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. Although the media had not officially released the news, it was confirmed. He and her agreed to take the college entrance examination together and create a better future together.
The other three letters were not written to her. Two of them were also from local troops, and the other was from Shenhai.
After burning the letter, she happened to hear Ruan Hongjun calling for dinner downstairs. She was not in a hurry. She got up and took a broom to clean up the pile of ashes and swept them all into the trash can. Then she opened the door and went downstairs to eat.
While eating in the restaurant, Ruan Changfu was still talking about the college entrance examination. He said to Ye Qiuwen and Ye Fan, "Since you have already registered, you don't have to worry about anything else for the next month. Just focus on studying. If you need me for anything, just tell me directly."
Ye Fan nodded in response. Ye
Qiuwen looked at Ye Fan and said, "When you find review materials, help me get a copy of all the review materials."
Now she is alone in school and can't ask others to borrow review materials.
Ye Fan still nodded, "Okay."
Among his friends, most of them love to study, so it is much easier for him to collect review materials than other students. Many other people can't even find their textbooks, let alone the review materials that are already scarce.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie also wanted new and good review materials, preferably ones that were close to the exam outline, so after dinner they went to Ye Fan's room privately and said to him, "Please get us a copy of that review material, we only need one copy. Or if it's inconvenient, you can give it to us after you use it."
Ye Fan looked at them and smiled, "So you signed up too?"
Ruan Xi smiled, "Just give it a try, experience it, if you don't pass this time, you can take the exam again after you graduate from high school."
Ye Fan nodded at her, "Okay, I'll help you."
Ruan Xi smiled even more cordially, "Thank you."
Because of the official resumption of the college entrance examination, the atmosphere of the school seemed to have changed overnight. The campus, which had no learning atmosphere before, was suddenly filled with a strong learning atmosphere, and you could hear Lang Lang reading in the morning reading class.
But just when the morning reading class was halfway through, the head teacher, Mr. Xie, came again.
After he entered the classroom, he slammed the table to stop everyone from studying, and then said, "Because there is only one month left to review for the college entrance examination, in order to allow students who have registered for the college entrance examination to review more efficiently, the school has decided to gather all the registered students together and set up several new sprint classes, so that teachers can lead everyone to review systematically."
He clapped his hands and said, "So, all the students who have registered, pack up your school bags, stationery and textbooks, and report to the sprint class now. From now on, that will be your classroom." There
were not many students who registered in the class. After all, everyone was still young and was not in a hurry to go to college now. The main reason was, of course, that they had not learned anything in school, so it would be useless to take the exam and there was no need to bother.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie packed up their schoolbags and left the classroom with several other students.
When they were carrying their schoolbags and leaving the classroom, Ruan Qiuyang and Su Mengmeng turned around and stared at them.
Su Mengmeng whispered, "They actually signed up too."
Ruan Qiuyang said, "Anyone can sign up, it's just filling out a form."
Su Mengmeng: "Maybe they'll get in."
Ruan Qiuyang glanced at her, "Do you think the college entrance examination is as easy as drinking water? There are so many people taking the exam together, more than a dozen junior and senior high school graduates. They didn't even have a good foundation in elementary school, and they didn't go to high school, so how can they get in?"
Su Mengmeng held her face, "It's too difficult, just one class of graduates... I can't pass the exam. I've been in the college entrance examination for more than ten years. It's scary to think about it. If I can pass this exam, it would be rare, right? "
Ruan Qiuyang has no interest in the college entrance examination, nor in idioms. "I don't know."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie carried their schoolbags and went to the newly formed sprint class. The sprint class was full of students who had signed up to prepare for the college entrance examination. The teachers were also carefully selected and arranged by the school. They didn't do anything else but lead them to review for the sprint.
The sprint class not only requires studying during the day, but also adds two classes of evening self-study in the evening.
Originally, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie didn't plan to tell their family that they had signed up, nor did they want to hide it on purpose, but they didn't ask, so they didn't take the initiative to tell. But because they joined the sprint class, they naturally knew it.
It was during dinner that night. Ruan Changfu, Ye Fan and Ye Qiuwen were talking about the college entrance examination. Ruan Qiuyang suddenly interrupted and said, "We don't have two candidates in our family. We have two more."
He glanced at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie.
As soon as he said this, everyone at the table, except Ruan Qiuyue and Ye Fan, looked at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie in surprise.
They didn't say anything for a long time. Ruan Xi asked, "What's wrong? Can't I take the exam?"
Ruan Changfu came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "You can sign up if you meet the requirements. Why not? It's just that not many junior high school graduates sign up, so I missed you two. Since you've already signed up, you should study hard."
Before the others could say anything, Ruan Hongjun suddenly clenched his fist and shouted at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, "Sister and cousin! Come on!!"
He shouted so suddenly, so hurriedly, and so loudly that Ruan Changfu was startled by him and slapped him on the head.
Ruan Hongjun covered his head and protested, "Why can't I come on?"
Ruan Changfu glared at him, "You scared me!"
After dinner, Ruan Hongjun took Ruan Hongbing out to play, while Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, Ye Fan, and Ye Qiuwen went to evening self-study.
Ye Qiuwen asked Ye Fan to go together, so Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie naturally went alone.
The house became quiet after everyone left. Ruan Qiuyue went upstairs, and Ruan Qiuyang helped Feng Xiuying with work in the kitchen.
Feng Xiuying swept the floor and asked Ruan Qiuyang, "Why didn't you apply when everyone else could?"
Ruan Qiuyang said, "Do you know how many candidates applied? The teacher said there might be tens of millions. It's scary. Can you just pass the exam? It's useless to apply. Why bother?"
Feng Xiuying thought for a moment and said, "Your third brother should be able to pass."
Ye Fan was not outstanding in other aspects from childhood to adulthood, but he loved to study. He studied hard and diligently from the first grade to the second year of high school. Among the millions of people who applied, there was always someone who could pass, and Ye Fan was one of them.
Ruan Qiuyang was silent for a while, and whispered: "I think if the elder sister had studied hard, she might have passed the exam. In the past, studying was not important, so she didn't study much, and her test scores seemed to be just average, but she has always been able to do well in everything she wants to do... The bad thing is... she couldn't help but fall in love..."
When mentioning Ye Qiuwen's love affair, Feng Xiuying still couldn't help holding her breath and felt like needles on her face.
But she didn't deny Ruan Qiuyang's words, and said after a while: "I hope she can save face for herself."
Saving face for herself is also saving face for the family. If she can get into college this time, the love affair can be covered up. This year has been really depressing. If she passes the exam, she can breathe a sigh of relief.
After talking about Ye Qiuwen, Feng Xiuying asked Ruan Qiuyang: "You and Xiaoxi and Xiaojie are in the same class. Do you think they have a chance to pass the exam? If they can all pass, it would be even better. With four college students, our family will be really proud."
Ruan Qiuyang smiled and asked Feng Xiuying: "What do you think?"
Seeing that Feng Xiuying didn't say anything, she continued: "They didn't even finish elementary school and came to junior high school. They didn't even go to high school. In the past two years, have you heard them talk about their exams? Do you have the test scores? If they did well, how could they not tell you? Even if they did well in the test scores, they would not be much better in the college entrance examination if they did not attend high school for two years. They could only be a backup. Teacher Xie said, "Don't cause trouble for the country."
Feng Xiuying thought about it and realized that it was true. How could she count on the two of them? They had studied hard for the past two years since they were young. If they could all get into college, then wouldn't those who studied hard for eight or nine years also be able to get in?
After a moment, she said, "It would be good if two of them could get in."
