As expected, word quickly and quietly spread in the village that the college entrance examination would soon be resumed.
Of course, this was all spread secretly, and only the educated youth and a small number of young people in the village who had studied well were interested.
As soon as the news came out, the educated youths were all excited. Regardless of whether they were married or not, they all began to inquire about more news about the college entrance examination. They wrote to their families to inquire about it, and went to bookstores or post offices to look for newspapers and magazines to see if anything had been announced. …
The more everyone inquired, the more convinced they were that the news was true, so they started looking for books and review materials, and even started to work absentmindedly.
The middle school and high school textbooks Zhang Weihong brought became a hot commodity, and everyone asked her to borrow them. She was a generous person, so she let them all copy them.
On the day when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was officially announced, all the educated youths burst into tears, hugged each other, cried, laughed, and shouted. Some even lay on the ground and beat the ground with their hands, trying to hide their hearts over the years. The confusion, pain, and despair that I was feeling all came out...
They have finally waited for this day!
Zhang Weihong ran to Gu Shichu's house and hugged her tightly, without saying a word, but trembling slightly, obviously crying.
When she had cried enough, Gu Shichu pushed her away.
Zhang Weihong wiped her tears with some embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just too excited."
"I understand." Gu Shichu said with a smile. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"You also want to take the college entrance examination this time, right? Let me review with you." Zhang Weihong suggested.
"Okay." Gu Shichu agreed.
After that, Zhang Weihong went to Gu Shichu's home to review together every day, because her home was quieter than the Educated Youth Courtyard.
Other educated youths also began to review nervously, reducing the time they had to work. The team leader did not stop them, and even gave them some light work to prevent them from getting tired.
If there were more educated youths in the village who were admitted to college, the political performance of the brigade captain would be better, and the faces of the villagers would be brighter, which is why the brigade captain was so cooperative.
Ji Mingtao saw that Gu Shichu was getting busier and busier, busy studying all day, and remembered that she had followed Zhang Weihong a few years ago to take tutoring courses in junior high school and high school, and she did not relax at all. In addition, she once said that she would do it if she had the chance. Leave the village.
So Ji Mingtao couldn't help but wonder, did Gu Shichu already know that the college entrance examination would be resumed, so she had to rely on the college entrance examination to leave here?
However, he quickly rejected it himself. Unless Gu Shichu had the ability to be a prophet, she would not know. He felt that he was overthinking.
He didn't know that Gu Shichu knew the sequence of historical development.
At this moment, he put his arms around Gu Shichu and asked her, "When you talk about the opportunity to leave the village, do you mean the college entrance examination?"
Gu Shichu nodded lazily: "That's right. So we will end it soon."
She raised half of her body and lay on Ji Mingtao's chest. She put her hands on his chiseled handsome face and brushed her fingers along his eyes, nose, lips, and chin one by one.
"I really can't let you go." She sighed. She would soon lose such a man who suited her aesthetics and taste.
It's such a pity. It's hard to find a male partner who is knowledgeable and carefree, and can have an underground affair with him peacefully.
Ji Mingtao's eyes darkened, he grabbed Gu Shichu's hand that was making trouble on him, and asked in a low voice:
"Which city and which university do you want to go to?"
Gu Shichu chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you so sure that I will pass the exam? You asked me directly where I was going."
"Will you fail the exam?" Ji Mingtao asked with a serious look, looking at her intently.
"Of course not!" Gu Shichu said confidently, not intending to keep it a secret.
"If I want to go to the best city, I'll naturally go to the best university. So I'm looking at Jinghua University in Beijing."
Ji Mingtao nodded, thoughtfully: "I understand."
Gu Shichu thought he was just asking casually, so he didn't pay much attention.
On the day of the college entrance examination, Gu Shichu, Zhang Weihong and other people taking the exam in the village went to the examination center in the city to take the exam.
The other educated youths were a little surprised to see Gu Shichu, obviously they didn't expect that she, an unexpected person, would also take the college entrance examination.
However, everyone was very nervous at this time, busy memorizing knowledge and test points, and had no time to pay attention to Gu Shichu.
After seeing the questions on the test paper, Gu Shichu felt that she had decided to go to the capital to study. These questions were very difficult for her, and she was not worried at all about failing the exam.
However, not everyone in the exam room was as confident as she was. Some even cried because they couldn't answer the question.
Gu Shichu completed several exams without any distractions. As soon as they were over, people from the same village gathered together and compared each other's answers.
When he hears that everyone has the same answer as his, he is overjoyed; when he hears the answer that is different from his own, his face turns pale and he becomes frightened.
"Aren't you worried about your answer at Shichu?" Zhang Weihong couldn't help asking after checking the answers with the others and seeing Gu Shichu walking leisurely without any worry on his face.
"That's not right. The exam is over and everything has settled. Answers will not only make me more anxious and nervous, but will not add a few points to my score." Gu Shichu said nonchalantly.
"You are open-minded, but I am not. Even if I am uneasy, I still have to agree on the answer with everyone." Zhang Weihong sighed and went back to discuss with everyone.
When everyone returned to the village, the villagers who saw them asked them how they did in the exam and whether they were confident.
When he saw Gu Shichu among them, he was immediately shocked:
"Gu Shichu? Why did you come back with them? Did you go to the college entrance examination too?"
Gu Shichu looked at the fussing aunt, nodded and replied, "Yes, I also took the college entrance examination."
The aunt said: "Are you going too? How many years have you studied? You won't hand in a blank paper, right?"
"I have attended junior high school anyway, and I asked Zhang Weihong to help me remediate my high school knowledge, so what if I take the exam? It will definitely not be difficult to resume the college entrance examination in the first year. What if I am lucky enough to pass it?" Gu Shichu said.
"That's right! The college entrance examination will be resumed in the first year this year. It won't be too difficult. Oh, if I had known I would have asked my two boys to take the exam. If I really passed the exam, I could be the mother of a college student! What a pity. Got it!" The aunt exclaimed as she patted her thigh.
Gu Shichu smiled slightly. She would not tell her aunt that the first year would not be too difficult, but there were too many candidates who couldn't bear to take the exam!
The number of people who have taken the exam accumulated over the past ten years is huge. With so many competitors, it would be difficult for the aunt's son to pass the exam.
The others laughed at Auntie: "Li Si's family, your two sons haven't even finished the second grade of elementary school, and you want to imitate others and take the college entrance examination? Isn't this a joke? No matter how easy it is, it won't be their turn to become college students!" "
The aunt retorted: "Why can't it be done? My son is so smart! Last time the captain calculated centimeters and gave our family three points less. Even the eldest child knows it!"
Everyone laughed instantly after hearing this.
