In the early morning, smoke has already risen in the small mountain village. Although the energy is not as good as before, the villagers have long been accustomed to the life of going to bed early and getting up early. They climbed out of bed before dawn and started preparing breakfast.

Although there is still a collective economy, people in the countryside no longer live in big pots. People still earn cents and do farm work. Even if they are lazy, they steal. They live their own lives. What you eat depends on your family's conditions.

"Have you packed everything? Don't forget the admission notice. By the way, there are also household registration books and letters of introduction. Check them all."

"Don't worry, brother Wang Zhong, I checked it twice myself, and my sister checked it four or five times." Song Yunhui said with a smile.

Since his father fainted last time, with the help of his sister and neighbor Wang Zhong, Song Yunhui, who was already feeling guilty, realized that he had gone too far. With his initiative, the relationship between father and son also eased.

Originally, Song's father wanted to accompany his son to the county town for a ride, but Song's father's health was not recovering well. The siblings did not want their father to work hard and affect his recovery. Song's mother also had to stay at home to take care of Song's father who was bedridden. , so he only asked Song Yunping to see off his son.

It happened that Wang Zhong also wanted to go to the county town to do some shopping, so he made an appointment to go with the Song siblings.

"Brother Wang Zhong!" Song Yunping was still wearing the same nine-piece shirt, loose trousers, and cloth shoes with several puddings on it. She watched her younger brother carrying a shoulder bag and carrying luggage on a pole. She was wearing clothes that were not old and new. Shoes, two braids hanging naturally from both sides of the shoulders, looking very pure.

"Let's go then!"

Together with Song Yunping, he took Song Yunhui to the county station and helped Song Yunhui put his luggage on the train and put it in place. Wang Zhong and Song Yunping stood on the platform, watching the train start and leave the station with Song Yunping's reluctant eyes.

At some point, Song Yunping's eyes were sparkling, but this strong girl kept holding back the tears.

"Can't bear to leave Xiaohui?" Wang Zhong stood aside for a long time without saying a word. It was not until Song Yunping raised his hand to quietly remove the tears from his eyes that he spoke.

Song Yunping nodded slightly and said, "Xiaohui has grown so old, and this is the first time he has traveled far away."

Wang Zhongdao: "Xiao Hui is not a child anymore. Besides, when we arrive in the provincial capital, Xiao Hui and his school will arrange for people to receive students at the station who take the train to register."

"Will the school send someone to pick up Xiaohui and the others at the train station?" Song Yunping turned to look at Wang Zhong and asked curiously.

Wang Zhongdao: "Of course, those who can be admitted to university are the only ones in a hundred who are the future pillars of the motherland. The school is reluctant to let anything happen to them."

Song Yunping had no doubts about Wang Zhong's words. After all, Wang Zhong was an educated youth who came from the provincial capital to the Shanbei Brigade to go to the countryside. He was well-informed and must know more than a country girl like her.

"Brother Wang Chong, have you been to university?" Song Yunping asked out of nowhere what was in his mind.

Wang Zhong said: "I've been there before."

Song Yunping's eyes lit up and she immediately asked impatiently: "What is university like?"

"Universities are completely different from high schools. In universities, the classrooms for each class are different, and some are even separated by several teaching buildings. In the classroom, students can freely choose their seats, and the teacher's teaching method is also different from that in high school. Same······"

Song Yunping listened to Wang Zhong's eloquent words, and all kinds of questions popped up one after another. Even the reluctance to separate the sister and brother was gradually suppressed.

"So college is so interesting!" Song Yunping looked at the direction in which the train was leaving, looking at the track spreading into the distance with no end in sight, her eyes full of yearning. The value of universities in this era is still very high. Let alone a university, even if it is just an ordinary college or technical secondary school, the state will allocate jobs after graduation.

Basically, every high school student has the ultimate goal of going to college, because as long as he goes to college, it is just like gaining fame and being a Jinshi in the old society.

Wang Zhongdao: "Although the university is good, you still have to look at yourself. If you don't work hard, you may not have a future even if you go to university. If you work hard enough to make progress, even if you don't go to university, you may not have no future."

Song Yunping heard the persuasion in Wang Zhong's words and forced a smile: "Brother Wang Zhong, don't worry, I will live a good life even if I can't go to college."

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "I'm not trying to comfort you!"

"Xiaoping, the college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years, and now it has suddenly resumed. Do you know what this means?"

Song Yunping looked at Wang Zhong and asked curiously: "What does it mean?"

"It means that our country is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and it means that a huge change caused by education is about to be implemented throughout China, and the resumption of the college entrance examination is a signal."

Song Yunping was stunned by Wang Zhong's sudden words: "Is the resumption of the college entrance examination a signal?"

Wang Zhong asked Song Yunping: "What is the most lacking thing in our country now?"

Although she had many ideas in her mind, Song Yunping did not dare to express them in public. This was due to her cautiousness, which she had developed over the years due to being discriminated against due to her poor composition and being treated differently.

"It's talents!" Wang Zhong naturally knew Song Yunping's concerns, so he said before Song Yunping could speak: "To build a country, all walks of life need talents, and the simplest and most direct way to screen and cultivate talents is the college entrance examination. .”

Song Yunping was not stupid, otherwise she would not have been admitted to university. After hearing what Wang Zhong said, she immediately reacted: "So the country is about to make big moves?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Let me put it bluntly, if we had followed the component-only theory as before, Xiaohui would never have had the chance to go to university in this life, but now Xiaohui has received the university's admission notice. This is a signal."

Song Yunping's big black eyes became brighter and brighter: "Brother Wang Zhong, what big actions do you think the country will take?"

Wang Chong said with a smile: "I am a common man with a flat head, how can I guess what kind of action the country will take next, but what I can be sure of is that this action will definitely not be small, and it will not only target a certain industry. "

Song Yunping lowered her head, countless thoughts already flashing through her mind.

Wang Zhong said: "Okay, it's getting late. There are still things to do, so don't delay for too long."

After finally coming to the county town, the two of them naturally couldn't return empty-handed. They still had to buy some essential things for daily life such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

There are also medicinal materials that Father Song wants to drink. Although most of them can be found in the mountains, there are still some that are not available in the mountains and need to be purchased in the county.
