Whenever there are brothers and sisters, there is competition. Although Zhang Yunxi and Zhao Rencheng try their best to treat them equally, the two children still love to compare.
You have a mother, and I must have a father.
It is still the same now that I have grandparents.
The two kids were funny, but the old chief's identity had spread quickly throughout the Zhao family brigade. He was an official from the capital! It was incredible. You might only see it once in your lifetime.
The two children still called the old leader grandpa and grandma. It was obvious that they had a close relationship with Zhang Yunxi and Zhao Rencheng. The couple had their own abilities and had such a powerful backer! When the two biological parents of Zhao Rencheng heard the news, they cursed their children and grandchildren. As the grandparents of the two children, the children never called them. Zhao Rencheng became the factory director, but he never helped his family. It was said that he recruited his second aunt's child to the factory and did not give his family a job. This evil child, if they had known this would happen, they should have drowned him in a urinal when he was born, so as not to anger them all the time!
But their descendants would not tolerate their swearing, and a quarrel broke out in the house, which soon escalated into a fight. Zhang Yunxi and others were unaware of this.
Zhang Yunxi was still feeling fortunate that the house was built so large that two rooms could be left for his master and his wife, as well as the guards.
The leaders drove back first. They lived close to home, so there was no need for them to stay overnight. The old chief could not stay at Zhang Yunxi's house for a few days as he had to go to the capital to take up his post. So before going to bed at night, he took the young couple aside and asked them about their plans.
“I went to the capital and there was no job.”
Zhao Rencheng said bluntly.
"Well, you should be able to tell from reading the newspaper every day that the country is in urgent need of talent, and many professors have been recalled. What do you think will happen after the professors return to the university?"
As she finished speaking, Zhao Rencheng, who was only shocked at the reinstatement of his old chief, suddenly widened his pupils and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhao Rencheng lit a candle, and the room became yellow. He sat cross-legged on the bed and asked, "Are you reluctant to leave here, or do you not want to go to the capital for work?"
The old leader was about to speak but stopped, wanting to persuade Zhang Yunxi, but was interrupted by his master's wife: "It's getting late, and there's no rush to go to the capital. Go to sleep first, and you should also think about it carefully. The capital is a big place, but it may not be as comfortable as you are now."
“Neither.”
Influenced by his wife, Zhao Rencheng read the newspaper every day and was aware of the current situation. The country was in urgent need of talents. If he could use his master as a stepping stone to go to the capital and start a career, it would not be a bad idea. He could also live with his master and his wife.
Zhang Yunxi: "It's not a question of whether it's true or not, it's that the country needs to develop."
Zhang Yunxi gave his master's wife a grateful look, handed them the thin blanket, let them have a good rest, and then returned to their room with Zhao Rencheng.
After several years of hardship, the old leader finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel. He no longer has the heroic spirit he once had. He just wants to do things in a disciplined manner and wants his children and grandchildren to be around him so that his family can live a good life.
"I can arrange it for you. You were a good commander in battle and you were also very successful as a factory manager. With your resume, it will be easy for me to arrange a job for you in the capital."
Zhang Yunxi didn't get angry with him. Ten years had passed since the college entrance examination was lost. It was hard for anyone to imagine that in October, the country would announce a policy that would change the fate of many students. So he patiently said to him, "According to the uneven levels of the workers, peasants and soldiers' college students today, it's hard to say that they have learned real skills. At a time when the country is extremely short of talent, we need to restore the college entrance examination to select talented college students!"
Zhao Rencheng was confused: "What happened?"
"no?"
Thinking of this, his heart was boiling. He turned his head to look at his wife and saw that she was smiling lightly, but there was no yearning in her eyes. Instantly, a basin of cold water was poured down on him. Zhao Rencheng said to the old leader with hesitation: "I'll think about it again."
Zhao Rencheng was overwhelmed with emotion. If the college entrance examination was restored, it would be like a ray of light appearing in a dark tunnel for many students who could not find a way out. "That would be great."
He rejected the invitation from his old leader and began to print mathematics, physics and chemistry series as well as Zhang Yunxi's textbooks in the name of an "unknown small factory".
It cost a total of five thousand yuan, and I made a total of five thousand copies.
That was the money he earned in the black market. The old leader has been in good health over the years, so he didn't use the money. Now he takes it from the people and uses it for the people. He doesn't know when the college entrance examination will be resumed, but hopes to lend a helping hand when it is resumed.
On October 21, 1977, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was officially announced.
When the good news came, many young people were still working in factories, farms, and mountain villages. They might be workers, leaders, or farmers, but unlike you, they all put down their work, shouted excitedly, with tears and smiles on their faces. They had been waiting for this day for too long.
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was like a sudden spring breeze. Everyone rushed to tell each other, and the long-suppressed learning enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the vast number of educated young people were ignited.
Captain Zhao couldn't wait to hold a meeting to spread the good news, and directly told the entire team using a loudspeaker.
The college entrance examination has been resumed!
College students are coming soon.
"The country is now implementing a policy of producing more and better talents. I hope that students who are willing to take the exam will study hard, strive to be admitted to university, realize their dreams, and become useful people to the country, the party, and the people!"
When the educated youth heard the news, their eyes filled with tears, they covered their faces and cried, then hugged and cheered.
* commune.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Mo stood up and ran to find Ergouzi.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Like a gust of wind, it blew past Zhao Changfu.
When Zhao Mo went down the stairs, he saw that there were still a few steps left, so he jumped down directly and collided with Ergouzi who was striding up the stairs.
“The college entrance examination has been resumed!”
"right."
“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!”
The two people spun around excitedly.
Zhao Mo quickly said, "I want to go home to find my aunt."
"Yes, my aunt must know about this!"
The two of them talked to the security guard and asked him to help them ask for leave. They got on their bicycles and rushed home quickly. Many students from the Zhaojia Brigade also rushed home with them.
When I got home, the door was crowded with people, all of whom were high school students. Everyone knew that the high school in Zhaojia Brigade was promoted by Zhang Yunxi. She also wrote the textbooks for junior and senior high schools. In the past, these measures were not worth mentioning, but now the college entrance examination has been resumed! The moment to change my destiny has come.
Zhang Yunxi didn't say anything. She stood on a stool and said to them, "I will be teaching at school from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow. If you need anything, feel free to come."
There was warm applause at the scene.
The majority of candidates worked hard to fill the gaps in their knowledge and actively reviewed and prepared for the exam. It is no exaggeration to say that they studied late into the night. Many people used diesel lamps to read all night and their nostrils were black the next day.
From November 28 to December 25, 1977, 5.7 million candidates entered the college entrance examination hall. This hard-won exam brought about a major change in the fate of countless people. (End of this chapter)
