Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, the variety of goods in the containers has increased significantly. Not only are the fabrics brightly colored, but even the candies come in several more colorful packages.
He Ruixue weighed a pound of dingding candy and two pounds of jujube cakes. As soon as she got home, a few of the little guys were hanging on her legs. As soon as she tore one open, another one would soon be wrapped around it.
She distributed the snacks, waved her hand for them to go play in an open area, and carried He Xiaoxu into the house with her other hand.
As soon as she sat down, the little girl suddenly leaned close to her ear, put her little hand on her earlobe, and whispered, "Mom, Dad is so pitiful. I heard grandma tell the story of the landlord and the farmhand. Is Dad the farmhand in our family?"
He Ruixue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she fixed her hair after playing wildly. "Dad is our family, why do you think so? Did Mom enslave or oppress him?"
"I was born by my mother, so we are a family. He is the only one who is not, and he still lives in our house."
He Ruixue was even more amused and confused when she heard the answer. "So, according to you, your eldest uncle and third uncle were also farmhands in their respective families, and were tricked into working by your eldest aunt and third aunt?"
"Yes, they are family here, but they become outsiders in their own home. It's really pitiful."
Children do not understand the inheritance of surnames. They simply think that they came out of their mother's belly, and the two have the closest connection in the world, so they are naturally a family.
As for my father, he had no relatives and lived in his own home, so the only possibility was that he was a worker who was forced to work to support the family.
He Ruixue touched her head, not knowing how to correct it.
Forget it, children’s understanding of the world gradually deepens, and they may not remember what happened today when they grow up.
She said solemnly, "Since you feel sorry for your father, you should be nicer to him and love him more, okay?"
He Xiaoxu pouted, "Humph, Dad always bullies me, snatches my candy, confiscates my toys, what a bad dad!"
"That's because he's afraid he'll have a toothache from eating too much candy."
He Xiaoxu hugged her neck, leaned close to her affectionately, and kissed her cheek several times.
Like a sticky glutinous rice cake, her voice was filled with honey, "Mom is the best. I love Mom the most."
He Ruixue looked up in surprise, wishing she could hold her in her arms and kiss her.
He Xiaoxu has a straightforward personality. He is not the kind of person who speaks differently to different people. Everything he says is from the truth.
"What about Dad?"
She counted on her fingers, "My second favorite is Dad."
"Why, is Daddy not good to you?"
He Xiaoxu shook his head, "Dad is good to me, I like him, but Mom doesn't have to do anything, I just like her the most."
He Ruixue rested her chin on her head, her heart surging like the sea, filled with emotion and bitterness, unable to calm down for a long time.
The simple innocence of children is the most touching. No matter how many lives she has lived, she can say without bias that her daughter is definitely the most lovely angel.
She willingly gave everything she could.
…
On a sunny morning, the college entrance examination officially began.
He Ruixue's test site was at her former high school, and candidates gathered in groups of three or five on the playground to encourage each other.
The surrounding area was bustling with people.
Some people fainted because they were too excited. Fortunately, there was a medical point next to the examination room, so if there was an accident, they could be taken for examination in time.
The preparatory bell rang and the candidates entered the examination room with their admission tickets.
The first resumption of the college entrance examination was a matter of close attention across the country, and cheating and disrupting other people's exams were dealt with very strictly.
These days are different from later times. The means of cheating are quite simple, and most of them involve smuggling.
In a country where the imperial examination system has been implemented for a thousand years, the authorities have considerable experience in dealing with similar cheating methods.
Most cheat sheets are searched out before the examination room. Once discovered, no matter how the examinee kneels down and begs or how his relatives and friends come to plead for him, he will be disqualified from the examination.
As for those who have not been discovered, or those who intend to peek at other people's answers during the exam, they will basically be caught by the invigilators.
There are about forty or thirty candidates in one examination center. The seats are about half a meter apart, and the test numbers are sealed with black words on white paper and stuck on the corners of the tables.
Before the exam started, two invigilators, one male and one female, stood on the podium, pulled up a long piece of white paper, and explained to them the precautions for the exam.
He Ruixue took the science exam, which covered four subjects: politics, Chinese, mathematics, and physics and chemistry.
The bell for the exam lifted everyone's spirits. The freshly printed test papers smelled of ink, and the examinees lowered their heads and picked up their pens, pondering over questions that were either familiar or unfamiliar.
His expression was extremely serious, and he wanted to squeeze out everything in his head. After all, writing a little more at this moment could really determine his future destiny.
It was not until 1979 that the educated youth stopped going to the countryside.
The saying "one rope, two sets of preparations" has been circulating among high school students in recent years.
If you pass the exam, everyone is happy and packs up their luggage to go to college. If you fail, you can only go to the countryside with your luggage and wait for a slim chance.
For the educated youth who came from the countryside to take the exam, the college entrance examination was their only life-saving straw, and they had no choice but to take it seriously.
Perhaps it was because of too much psychological pressure, some people cried while doing the exercises, especially when faced with difficult math problems, they just couldn't figure out the answer no matter how hard they tried, and they almost wanted to jump off the building.
The invigilator was used to this and knocked on his desk to tell him not to disturb other students, otherwise he would ask him to go out and wash his face and come back to take the exam.
On the first day, we study politics in the morning and physics and chemistry in the afternoon; on the second day, we study mathematics in the morning and Chinese in the afternoon.
By the next afternoon, nearly one-fifth of the seats in the examination room were empty. It was obvious that some people had lost faith because of the math problems and completely gave up the opportunity to take the exam.
