Chapter 37 Resuming the College Entrance Examination
"Come back tomorrow after the goods are sold out." Zhang Hongxia came back to her senses instantly.
Mi Xia was amused by Zhang Hongxia's reaction. It was actually very normal. People in the county town were paid by the government, and there was nothing delicious to eat before.
Now that reform and opening up have taken place, everyone has money, so at this time as long as you sell good things, you can sell them well.
After a few days, Zhang Hongxia was too busy and didn't know what to do, so she came to ask Mi Xia.
"Little sister, I have too many things to wash today, what should I do?"
Zhang Hongxia never thought of asking her younger sister to help her, because her younger sister now has to take care of the children and teach them to read.
She had an idea in her mind and wanted to ask someone to help her, but she didn't know if she could ask anyone at this time.
Mi Xia: "Sister-in-law, let brother not go to work, you two can do it together. Brother is strong, so you can leave the dirty work to him. Since he is a family member, you can trust him to do it."
Zhang Hongxia frowned: "What about your eldest brother's job? It's a stable job."
"Sister-in-law, how much do you earn a day?"
Zhang Hongxia thought about it and didn't hide it from Mi Xia. Although her younger sister never asked how much money she earned, she didn't think of hiding it.
"Little sister, I now earn more in one day than your brother earns in half a month at work."
"Yes, then why are you still working? Have you noticed that there are so many stalls recently? Why do so many people come out to set up stalls? Have you ever thought about it?"
"You make so much money yourself, so we must make money too. You also bring your family with you. Isn't it better than just a dead salary?"
Zhang Hongxia thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to your eldest brother tonight and try to get you to work with me. If that doesn't work, I'll hire someone else."
The next day, I don't know what Zhang Hongxia said, but Mi Qiu agreed and went to Zhang Xiaoyu early in the morning to ask her to contact the buyer and sell the work. After she came back, she helped Zhang Hongxia with it.
Whenever Mi Xia had time, she would take the two little girls to Grandma Song's place. When someone was watching the children, she would secretly trade with Zhang Xiaoyu.
Time passed quickly, and one day Mi Xia received a letter from Mo Haoyue, which implicitly said that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and Mi Xia was very happy.
"Jianguo, come here and read the letter to your parents."
Mi Jianguo hurried over and read every word to Mi Qiu and Zhang Hongxia.
We were also very happy when we heard that the college entrance examination would be resumed.
"Brother, sister-in-law, and Jianguo, this news has not been spread out yet, so don't tell anyone." Mi Xia warned.
Zhang Hongxia and Mi Qiu didn't let her do anything recently, so that she could stay at home and review with peace of mind. When they were busy, they would keep the two girls by their side, for fear that they would disturb Mi Xia.
Mi Xia has also been racing against time to read.
More than a month later, the whole county was in an uproar. People went everywhere to borrow and copy books. Many people cried because they couldn't borrow books. Mi Xia carefully redoing all the test papers during this time.
During this period, when Mi Xia went out, she heard many people say that when the educated youth in the countryside heard that the college entrance examination had been resumed, many of them borrowed books, and the families of girls who wanted to marry male educated youth did not agree, for fear that the male educated youth would not want rural wives after being admitted to university.
The same is true for the female educated youth who married into the countryside. They were afraid that the educated youth would not come back after they passed the college entrance examination. Some also supported their own educated youth to study and pass the college entrance examination. They could only pray in their hearts that their support would be exchanged for the other party's loyalty.
In her previous life, Mi Xia had heard many elders say that after the college entrance examination in 1977, many educated youth abandoned their husbands or wives, but she had no way to change the situation.
After that, Mi Xia finished reviewing what she needed to review. Although Mi Xia had the college entrance examination paper this time, she still wanted to see how her current level was.
Mi Xia is taking the liberal arts exam, and the subjects she needs to take include Chinese, mathematics, politics and geography.
Mi Qiu and Zhang Hongxia were extremely nervous.
He always asked Mi Xia to read more books, and even brought three meals a day to her room, and she didn't have to clean up after eating. Mi Xia really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In order to reassure them, Mi Xia did not go out. Fortunately, there was space, otherwise she would be suffocated. During this period, Mo Haoyue also sent a letter to her, telling her not to be nervous, to review and rest.
During this month, Mi Xia could only see the little girl at night. Not to mention seeing her during the day, there was not even a sound in the house. Mi Xia knew that this was because her elder brother and sister-in-law cared about her, so she didn't say anything.
Finally, on December 15, 1977, the college entrance examination began. The entrance was filled with people sending their children or wives to school. It was no exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people.
The exam lasted for three days, from December 15th to 17th, 1977. Mi Xia felt that the questions were very simple, but she still checked them after finishing them. She finished checking while others were writing furiously.
If you have nothing to do, translate the test paper into English on a scratch paper.
Zhang Hongxia prepared every day's meals carefully. She had learned Mi Xia's cooking skills very well, so Mi Xia also liked her cooking very much.
Finally, the exam is over, and the next step is to wait for the admission letter. Mi Xia is confident that she can be admitted to Kyoto University, but her elder brother and sister-in-law don't know, and they still spend every day in tension.
On this day, Mi Xia went to find Zhang Xiaoyu.
Mi Xia was very satisfied with 놛 during these years of cooperation. 놛 was eloquent and could make a living out of a dead person. He was also thick-skinned. Therefore, 놛 relied on Mi Xia's supplies to become the most powerful person except for the big boss 놛.
"Zhang Xiaoyu, I want to take you to Kyoto. There is nothing there, and we need to work together to create a new world for ourselves. Do you want to go with me?" Mi Xia looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu was very excited about Kyoto. Besides, following Mi Xia would not be any worse than being here with 놛놇, so he hurriedly asked, "I'll go. When will I go to Kyoto? I'll arrange things here."
"You should go to Kyoto in advance and see if there is a suitable house near Jingqing University. You can buy it directly." Mi Xia said as she handed over 15,000 yuan.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the money on the bag in disbelief. Although they had known each other for several years, when he suddenly saw her giving him so much money, wasn't she afraid that he would run away with the money?
Mi Xia saw Zhang Xiaoyu's doubts, so she said, "Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. Since I've come to you, it proves that you are someone I can trust."
"Yes, I haven't asked you in these years, are you married?"
Zhang Xiaoyu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Knowing."
Mi Xia: "Then you bring your wife and children over, I'll provide for their food and lodging, and you can move in first after buying a house. If you see a suitable house, keep an eye out for it and I'll buy it for you."
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Zhang Xiaoyu was completely convinced by the little girl in front of him, who was obviously much younger than him but so courageous. Many years later, Zhang Xiaoyu was grateful that Mi Xia could find him, and he also became one of Mi Xia's most trusted generals, accompanying Mi Xia from nothing to something.
Soon it was the end of 1977, and many people in the county town had received their admission letters one after another, but Zhang Hongxia and Mi Qiujian's younger sister had not received one yet.
She was extremely anxious and was afraid that her younger sister would not pass the exam. Her family did not dare to tell these things, and it was only after several days that Mi Xia discovered their abnormality.
Even the children were very careful when talking to her, for fear of saying something wrong. Mi Xia was very touched by her elder brother and sister-in-law's feelings towards her, but at the same time she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She knew she would definitely pass the exam, but her eldest brother and sister-in-law wouldn't believe her if she told them. She decided to wait until the admission letter arrived.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1977, Mo Haoyue had returned and brought clothes and small leather shoes for everyone. Everyone was very happy.
Mi Xia and her daughter bought four sets of clothes each. The little girl was also very happy. As she grew up, she also knew how to love beauty.
