Although there are not many educated military wives in the family compound, there are many like Lu Aicheng who were admitted to high school and later went to work.

They also wanted to give it a try with hope.

Since Xu Niannian quit his job as director and studies at home every day, he must have review materials.

Several military wives went to Xu Niannian in groups, hoping to get some useful information from her.

Xu Niannian was a little surprised to see so many people coming to visit her:

"Don't the city libraries have all the information? You can buy it there."

"Hey, you don't know, there are long queues every day, and we can't buy it even if we want to."

Well, the college entrance examination has been resumed, and the conditions have been relaxed so much that everyone who can get a chance wants to give it a try, just in case their ancestors’ graves are filled with sorrow.

It is also very impressive to be admitted as a college student.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, as if they would be out of touch with the times if they didn't say a few words about the college entrance examination.

We all know how difficult it was to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers College Program in the past few years. This is a fair and just exam, and everyone has a chance.

The several military wives who came today all had a good relationship with Xu Niannian before.

"My child took out the old textbooks to review, but I heard that other people had tutoring materials, so I asked someone to find out, but after queuing for a few days at the bookstore, they were all sold out."

"That's right. I wonder if you have any information that you can ask them to copy. Don't worry, they will send it back to you as soon as they finish copying. It won't delay your use."

They had attended high school before and had some textbooks at home.

Review materials are scarce. Some people are more perceptive and rush to buy materials as soon as the news comes out. Those who go late will have nothing.

After all, printing takes time, and the news came out suddenly, so time is tight and the task is heavy.

Xu Niannian remembered that she still had the old materials that Lu Aicheng had used to review. After Aunt Zhou sent over the new books, these books were no longer useful.

She went to the inner room and found it:

"You guys can take it and divide it among them. There are not many days left for review, so you don't need to send it to me."

Several military wives looked at each other:

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

If I had known that the books would be given directly to them, I would have brought more things when I came. Now, I am a little dissatisfied with the peanuts and other things they brought.

"It doesn't matter. The college entrance examination is a good thing. Seeing everyone studying so hard also makes me feel encouraged."

After several military wives left, they spared no effort to promote Xu Niannian's good deeds.

Those who previously thought that Xu Niannian had resigned from his job as director now think that Xu Niannian is even more stupid.

If you show your review materials to others and they do well in the exam, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you fail?

Besides, we all know how valuable review materials are nowadays, so why would you cultivate competitors for nothing?

If someone else passes the exam, there will be one less spot.

Xu Niannian was speechless about these words. There were more than 5 million candidates in the first college entrance examination. If she was so narrow-minded, she would worry about how others were doing in their studies every day.

You don’t have to take the exam yourself.

The next step is to register for the college entrance examination. This is an opportunity to change their destiny, so they plan to register on the first day of registration.

It's better to deal with this kind of thing sooner rather than later.

Lu Huaijin personally drove his wife and Lu Aichen to the city to squeeze in to register. Based on the principle of taking the exam near the registration point, Lu Huaijin felt that if he registered in the city, he would be able to get a better examination room.

If you register in a county town, the conditions will probably not be as good as in the city.

They set off early in the morning and the registration was done at the Cultural Palace in the city center, where there was more space.

When I arrived at the scene, I found that it was so crowded that I couldn’t even see the person collecting the registration forms while standing inside.

The people who registered were of different ages and had different jobs.

Finally, we waited until eight o'clock, and the staff who were temporarily put into the team felt like they were going to be eaten as soon as they came out.

Holding the half-meter-high registration form in his hand, he shook it:

“Are these registration forms enough?”

He regretted it. When he came, he thought these were enough, but he didn't expect more people to come.

Another staff member touched his hair:

"We have no choice but to go ahead. I don't think either of us will be able to eat lunch."

This sentence came true. I thought I could use one day to send out the registration forms, but they were used up after just half a day.

There were still many people who hadn't received the registration forms. One staff member didn't even have lunch and had to rush to the printing factory to ask them to produce some more.

Lu Aicheng and Xu Niannian did not submit their registration forms until two o'clock in the afternoon.

It was a slightly chilly day and both of them had a layer of sweat on their heads.

Lu Aicheng was about to back out:

“This is the first time I’ve seen so many people taking an exam.”

Xu Niannian smiled. She had also seen big scenes. In later generations, the number of people taking the college entrance examination would be in the tens of millions. This was nothing.

"Relax, we've already reviewed so long in advance, don't worry about the number of people, just do your best."

Looking at so many people, Lu Huaijin felt that after the exam location was decided, he should book an accommodation for Xu Niannian in advance.

At least you should stay in the city in advance, otherwise your body will not be able to bear the commuting every day.

And you have to book in advance. With so many people, if you book late you won’t have a place to stay.

The registration is over, and the only thing left is the college entrance examination.

Xu Niannian was not without pressure. She didn't want to set such a high goal at first, but she had no choice because everyone knew that she was going to take the exam.

So when she got home, she stopped eating, sleeping and playing.

I am so busy studying every day that I don’t even have time to take care of my children.

Seeing how hard she was working, Lu Huaijin finally touched her head distressedly one day:

"Our family is not short of money, nor is there a shortage of people with high education. We don't have to work so hard that we can't even take care of our health, right?"

Xu Niannian snored and yawned:

"It's not about money. It's about reputation."

After he finished speaking, his breathing gradually became normal and he fell asleep.

What Lu Huaijin didn't know was that since the news came out, every one of the college entrance examination candidates in this year's exam has been working hard to change their fate.

Especially for the educated youth who went to the countryside, many of them made themselves sick, such as liver cancer and stomach cancer, just for a chance to return to the city.

There are also people who are willing to dedicate themselves.

However, the college entrance examination is now a bright and smooth road before them. With this guidance, they feel motivated.

It was snowing heavily, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the day of the college entrance examination finally arrived.

Xu Niannian and Lu Aicheng checked into a guesthouse near the examination site yesterday.

Early in the morning, Lu Huaijin bought fried dough sticks and eggs for Xu Niannian and the others, and superstitiously asked her to eat one fried dough stick and two eggs.

Lu Aicheng laughed beside him:

"Oh my god, brother, what did you say when mom asked me to eat like this? Why are you being so hypocritical now?"
