In the yard, He Xiaojie was studying with He Ruixue.
She also wanted to take the college entrance examination, but the reason was a bit ridiculous. Her sister-in-law Wen Pei had already registered, and she was afraid that she would be the only one in the family who had not attended college, and she would not have the confidence to teach her children at home in the future.
In order not to lower the average educational level of her family in the future, she put in a lot of effort and took advantage of the one-month period to intensively review.
Which university to apply to is secondary. She doesn't have too much ambition and just wants to be assigned a stable job close to home.
Of course, the salary would be better if it is higher, so that she can develop her hobbies as she pleases.
Due to work needs in recent years, she has not completely left the learning environment, and she does not feel unfamiliar when she picks up the books again.
Especially the subject of mathematics.
She was chosen by the grain station because of her quick and accurate arithmetic skills, which changed her fate and made her develop a good impression of this subject.
During the idle lunch break, she would usually read arithmetic books. He Ruixue prepared a set of self-study books for each family member, and she did not miss any of them.
She has read and repeatedly practiced the four volumes of "Algebra", the two volumes of "Plane Geometry", the one volume of "Solid Geometry", "Plane Analytic Geometry" and "Trigonometry", with an accuracy rate of 70%.
Therefore, during the preparation period, she only needs to work hard on the eight books on physics and chemistry combined, and then focus on developing her foundation in Chinese and politics. The probability of passing the exam is very high.
At the desk, He Xiaojie held her forehead in frustration, complaining as she studied, "Auntie, I can't even tell the difference between these weak acid and strong base salts, strong acid and weak base salts, let alone whether they're acidic or alkaline when dissolved in water. Do I have to taste them with my mouth?"
"There's also electrolysis and ionization. Why do we have to use electricity? I remember what the cathode and anode are, and if you ask my dad, an old electrician, to come over, I'm afraid even he wouldn't understand."
He Ruixue didn't even take her eyes off the book as she calmly replied, "Go review the first volume of Chemistry. If you can't do that, just memorize it. I don't expect you to understand it in this short time."
It is not something that can be learned in a hurry to integrate two or three years of high school knowledge into a few books.
Although several of them had attended high school, there was already a commotion on campus at the time, and the teachers basically muddled through the lessons.
Even if you have studied it seriously, you will have forgotten most of it after a few years, and only vaguely remember some conceptual content.
In fact, He Ruixue felt that given her situation, she was more suitable for further studies in an art college.
Unfortunately, the college entrance examination for art students will be held next year. It will be under the liberal arts category and will test material color and creation.
He Xiaojie had no foundation in painting, and art students did not take math exams, which eliminated one of her biggest advantages.
It would be better to get into a reputable university first, and then use the library to systematically learn photography-related knowledge during college.
He Xiaojie didn't understand any of this, and didn't even have a clear understanding of the division between arts and sciences. She said she would listen to her aunt.
Having been a follower for so many years, it has become her instinct to follow instructions, and now she learns whatever she is asked to learn.
If she fails the exam, she can only blame it on her poor brain and try again next year.
Anyway, there is not much pressure at home, and both her husband's family and her parents' family are very supportive of her.
In comparison, He Xiaoai has a much clearer goal than her and plans to study literature.
Although her high school grades were average, she was outstanding in Chinese.
She got along well with the two daughters of the Tan family and often asked Tan Wei for advice. She was considered her half-disciple and was led by Tan Wei to submit articles to local tabloids more than a dozen times.
The probability of her manuscript being accepted is one in ten or twelve, which is low, but at least it was published in the newspaper, which shows that she has some talent in literature and she should further her studies in this area.
In the first few years of the college entrance examination, the Chinese language test paper had surprisingly few questions. In some areas, there were only two questions: one was similar to error correction and definition, which tested the recognition of basic characters;
The other part is composition, which is often related to politics and expresses different views. Writers use their pens as swords to explore social realities such as reaction, criticism, and intellectuals.
The fewer topics there are, the harder it is to write well.
He Ruixue did not predict the topic for her to prevent her from making mistakes. After all, the world is different and the topics will definitely change.
Just remind her to consult Tan Wei more often.
The other party joined the editorial team of the provincial newspaper three years ago and became the editor-in-chief of a section last year. He has gained some understanding of the cultural circles and their preferences and tendencies.
I'm not trying to please them deliberately, I just want to avoid stepping into the minefield.
There are also many young people in the compound who have signed up. The fact that they have decided to take the exam this year shows that they have full confidence in their own level.
Tan Juan and Tan Miao were brought up very well by Tan Wei. One of the sisters is lively and the other is quiet, and their academic performance is never a cause for concern.
Liu Huixin has been an outstanding person since she was a child. She originally found a job as an assistant in a pharmacy, but now she has resigned and returned home to prepare for the exam.
Old Liu and Ma Tiandong have been silent these days, not even daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing their daughter's studies.
After the red armbands almost disappeared, various small vendors are increasing in the market, and meat and vegetables no longer need to be purchased with meat coupons as before.
Nowadays, Lao Liu goes to the market as soon as he gets off work, trying every possible way to buy chicken and duck for his daughter to nourish her body.
He Xiaotuan obviously had no intention of joining in the fun, and neither did Lu Lan.
Their children are already grown up, and the house needs to be left unattended.
Besides, they were not very good at studying back then and had given all the knowledge back to the teachers. They were too lazy to pick it up and learn it again, so it was fine for them to continue working in the factory.
If we were to talk about the child who causes the least worry in the family, it would have to be He Xiaohua.
Perhaps he was the child of lazy parents who worked hard, so he never gave anyone a worry in terms of study. The teachers praised him as a model student, and the awards he received were so many that they couldn't fit on the walls of his living room.
In addition to dealing with his schoolwork, he also had the energy to study the various scientific magazines and newspapers given to him by He Ruixue.
He read and mastered several sets of self-study books, and the knowledge he learned vaguely involved the scope of university.
Although he was only in his teens, he was able to have a lively conversation with Xu Mingyu who came to visit him.
Although as his elders they certainly wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him, and the knowledge being tested was all within his scope of study, he was still praised for his talent more than once afterwards.
He can even answer some questions that are beyond the syllabus. He can understand them quickly after being explained once. He can also apply what he has learned to other situations and use formulas flexibly. Several difficult math problems are no problem for him.
Every time He Ruixue saw He Xiaohua practicing dense formulas on the draft paper, she would mutter to herself.
Could it be that smoke is coming out of the He family’s ancestral graves, and that a talent who will be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University is about to emerge?
He Xiaofeng and He Xiaoyun, brother and sister, did not plan to take the exam this year.
They transferred schools in a hurry and did not keep up with the adaptation period. In addition, the newspapers frequently reported news of the outbreak of sea battles. They were worried that their parents would lose interest in their studies and their grades would plummet.
If we want to catch up with the progress we have fallen behind, just one month is far from enough.
Moreover, the brother and sister grew up in a privileged environment. Influenced by their parents, they were very ambitious and determined to apply to key universities. They did not think much of ordinary universities.
