After the news spread, many people were in turmoil.
It’s hard to tell whether it’s anticipation, excitement, or something else.
In a somewhat strange atmosphere, this day finally arrived.
Everything is settled!
October 21st is a day that is destined to be remembered by many people.
Jianshu was reading a book at home. Little girl Gu Yiyi was lying on a rattan mat next to her, reading with great interest the drawing book that Jianshu had thrown to her. Her little feet were raised high and dangling in the air.
The chubby little face was deformed by the little hands, but children are children, and they are cute no matter what.
"Mom, mom, why are the little ants so small?"
"Mom, mom, why can't the little ants grow as big as us?"
"Mom, mom, why..."
There are countless questions in the little head, and he asks all kinds of strange questions.
Jianshu would answer her questions seriously one by one, explaining what he knew and telling her the truth about what he didn't know. He would not deceive her or be perfunctory with her out of so-called adult self-esteem.
Compared with the whole world, human knowledge is so shallow that it is not difficult to talk about it.
After all, the beauty of the unknown lies in the process of striving towards the unknown and the people in the process.
While the mother and daughter were reading and talking warmly, the radio in the family compound suddenly sounded.
The voice of Jianshu's answer paused, and after hearing the beginning, he quickly realized, so it was today?
Although she had been mentally prepared early on, she still couldn't control her excitement when she really heard the news. After all, this brief notice opened a new chapter in history.
Little Gu Yiyi found that her mother's voice had disappeared. She looked up in confusion, but found that something seemed wrong with her mother.
She was a little scared, and quickly got up from the ground, threw herself into Jian Shu's arms, and hugged her tightly.
After the notification, Jian Shu came back to her senses, looked at the child in her arms, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Mommy is fine, it's just... I have a strange feeling, like I've witnessed history."
It was no longer a brief sentence in a history book, but something she had experienced personally.
Little Gu Yiyi didn't understand her mother's vague words, but when she saw her mother's familiar smile, her previous nervousness immediately disappeared without a trace.
As long as her mother was there, she was not afraid of anything.
The carefree little girl quickly left her mother's arms and continued to lie on the ground reading the picture book.
Jianshu chuckled and shook her head, preparing to pack up her things. They couldn't stay for much longer.
At the same time, in many places across the country, after a brief silence, there were waves of deafening cheers, cries, and shouts...
It was like a bucket of water was suddenly poured into a boiling oil pan, causing it to explode instantly.
Everyone, whether they were working in the fields with hoes or in the workshops, put down their work and fell into ecstasy.
For Jianshu, this was just destined to happen, but for others, it was a decade of confusion.
"Shushu, did you hear that? The college entrance examination has been resumed!" After returning home, Gu Mingjing excitedly held Jianshu's shoulders and shared happily.
Even though he had already graduated, he couldn't help but be excited when he heard the news. Or rather, everyone in this generation, even if they had never been to school and couldn't fully understand the significance of the Gaokao, couldn't remain calm when the news broke.
Isn’t it the same even for Jianshu, who knows the result?
"Yes! I heard it, the college entrance examination has been resumed!" Jian Shu nodded vigorously, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.
Even though they had been excited before, they were still sharing their joy together at this moment.
At this moment, no one mentioned the impending separation, but was just happy about it.
"On my way back just now, everyone was almost going crazy with joy. Those whose families had children going to the countryside were even more excited. As soon as they heard the news, they rushed to make phone calls."
Although there was news before, wasn't it confirmed? Now that the stone has been put to the ground, I feel at ease.
"This is a good opportunity to return to the city. No one wants to miss it. The books in the bookstore will probably be snatched up like crazy." Jianshu sighed.
For many people, this college entrance examination is not just a college entrance examination, but also a ray of bright light in their lives where they cannot see the way forward.
The people who were most crazy about this college entrance examination were undoubtedly the educated youth who went to the countryside.
I thought there was no hope of returning to the city, but suddenly I found a life-saving straw. I must hold on to it tightly, right?
"Since the news has been spread, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible. The time for this exam is so tight and you still have to register. If you are delayed for a few more days on the road, you must set off early." Gu Mingjing suggested first.
Jianshu's smile paused, "You..."
Gu Mingjing gently blocked her unfinished words with his fingers, "Didn't we agree on this? We still have a long way to go, this is just a short separation."
Since he said that, Jianshu didn't continue to be hypocritical. Just like he said, there is still a long way to go.
"Then buy the ticket early. I'm afraid it will be hard to buy it if you're late."
She has to take a child with her when she goes back, so hard seats are definitely not an option. Sleeper tickets are not that easy to buy, especially in this special period. She is really afraid that they will be sold out if she goes too late.
"Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow. You should pack your things quickly too. Don't bring too much. Just take some commonly used items. I'll send the rest to you later." Gu Mingjing gave one more reminder. He was really worried about the mother and daughter taking the train.
Jian Shu patted him gently and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that I have a space? When the time comes, I can just throw my things into the space and I'll just carry a bag. It won't be a problem."
Gu Mingjing suddenly realized, yes, he had forgotten about this again.
Over the next two days, the family was busy preparing to return to Beijing, packing their luggage, saying goodbye to acquaintances, and most importantly, comforting little Gu Yiyi.
When little Gu Yiyi first learned that she was going to take a train to see her grandfather, she was very happy. However, this happiness quickly disappeared after she learned that her father could not go with them.
She cried loudly at home and insisted that Gu Mingjing go with her. Seeing the little girl crying so sadly, Gu Mingjing wanted to go with her.
Unfortunately, he has been very busy recently and will be going on a mission soon, so he really can't spare the time.
I could only try various ways to tempt and appease the little ancestor, but unfortunately, the tricks that always worked in the past didn't work this time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jianshu fled directly, using the excuse that he had to pack up his things, and left the task of comforting the little ancestor to Gu Mingjing.
The person who tied the bell must untie it, so it’s better for the father to comfort the child.
She was busy, and after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, her father called her three times a day to urge her, so she really had no time to spare.
