Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 24 First Test
Today's Shitouji is like a bride getting married, with festive red colors everywhere.

On the small street, the red flag fluttered and the hunting sound was heard.

There are many large red letters posted on the houses along the street.

"Congratulations to the candidates for successfully qualifying!"

"Warmly celebrate the resumption of the college entrance examination!"

"March towards the Four Modernizations!"

The town adds a festive atmosphere.

Li Jiankun came to the Wang family, and after meeting Xiao Wang, they went to their former alma mater together——

Shitouji Middle School.

The school is not big, about the size of a football field. The teaching building is two rows of bungalows with white walls and black tiles. The playground is a piece of yellow land with a pair of wooden basketball hoops.

The basket frame is made of wire and there is no net.

Very short.

With Li Jiankun's current size and physical fitness, he can dunk casually.

Every weekend, it’s not like I come here shamelessly to have fun.

Before they even walked through the door, the two guys were dumbfounded.

This is cooking porridge!
It was like a sea of ​​people, like a dam releasing water, as if all the people in the nearby ravines had come out.

You can see all kinds of people, everywhere!
It would be difficult for later generations to witness it.

Brothers and sisters, teachers and students, young couples, uncles, nephews and sisters-in-law...all came together to fight.

It allows people to truly experience a new social atmosphere of "reducing talents in an eclectic way".

'very nice! '

Li Jiankun said in his heart.

There are many things that I didn't pay much attention to in my previous life, but now I look back on them, and my chest will always be filled with excitement.

He was consciously witnessing how this poor and backward country became a great power step by step!

In just three to forty years, this is a miracle in human history.

And this huge leap comes from small changes like this, little by little.

Every step was extremely difficult, filled with joy and pain.

But isn’t this just like a moth taking off its cocoon?
There was an inspection required when entering the school, so the two of them hurriedly took out their admission tickets.

The admission ticket for the preliminary examination was very simple. It was a piece of paper no bigger than the palm of your hand. It only had a number, examination room and name on it, not even a photo.

Be reasonable and pretend to be someone else.

It's not that nobody does it.

After entering the school, there were still so many people.

A few dilapidated classrooms obviously can’t fit in.

How to do?
That’s right!

Test in the open air.

The scene was magnificent.

On the loess playground, wooden desks borrowed from primary schools in each brigade are arranged in a rectangular shape like matchboxes, densely packed.

The exam starts at 8 o'clock. Wang Shanhe's exam room No. 5 is in the classroom, and Li Jiankun's exam room No. 19... Damn, let's just say these numbers are abnormally high.

in the playground.

In the corridor, the invigilators who are constantly patrolling may not all be teachers, but there are also government officials who come to help.

There are 30 people.

The weather is not good today, it is gloomy, the north wind is whistling, and the cold air is whistling.

The candidates' hands were as cold as popsicles.

But no one cares.

Everyone worked hard and immersed themselves in the test paper, writing their future firmly and anxiously, stroke by stroke.

Finished the exam in one day.

There are very few questions, only two or three in each subject, and their purpose is not to test proficiency.

It's really just because there are too many people that a large part of them have to be eliminated.

Not available everywhere.

It depends on the actual situation.

It's strange, there are too many people applying for the exam in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it will be the same for many years to come.

There are candidates who fail to pass the preliminary examination even after three or four years, and some of them make mistakes.

Life.

Otherwise, we will always say in the future that reincarnation is an art form.

If you were born in the second ring road of the capital, Jing'an Huangpu in the magical capital, it doesn't matter whether you can go there or not.

In the final analysis, the reason why there are so many merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is because they were forced out.

It's like taking a winter tour.

After the exam was over in the afternoon, the two of them had no intention of forming a group to go out together, and planned to go home and catch up. "Shanhe, how did you do in the exam? Do you want to get the answer right?"

"That's right, these are just a few questions. They're all right. Don't worry."

Xiao Wang tilted his head, seeming to be admiring the scenery, but in fact he looked guilty.
-
Saturday, August 12th.

There was a meeting in Shitouji Commune on the issue of overall planning and consideration of resold grain in winter.

There were several incidents last year, and this year the county wants to take a different approach. Of course, we must also listen to the opinions of the grassroots.

The commune called several old party secretaries.

Li Guiyi from Qingxidian is one of them.

A meeting lasted until 4 p.m. Guiyi, an old man in his fifties, walked to the bicycle shed and was about to unlock his [-] bars, beating his sore waist, when a voice came from behind.

"Guiyi, wait a moment!"

Li Guiyi turned around. It was Zhou Jinbao, the publicity officer of the commune.

"Oh, Director Jinbao, is there something wrong?"

The old man from Guiyi has his own way of dealing with others.

Seeing the other person coming over, he took out a pack of Qigang cigarettes from his cotton-padded coat pocket and handed one over.

This cigarette was brought to him by his daughter last time he went back to her parents' house, and he still didn't want to smoke it.

He has two daughters. The second daughter was lucky and married into the county.

Zhou Jinbao took the cigarette, lit it with a match, and smiled even more, "What a great honor, what a happy event!"

happy event?

Li Guiyi said in his heart that the reimbursement of grain was coming soon, and the brigade had to pay dividends quickly. There was not enough money in the account, and he didn't know whether the commune could allocate it. He was troubled.

What joy is there?

"Let me ask you, is Li Jiankun your nephew?"

Jiankun?

Li Guiyi was confused, and suddenly asked what this boy was doing, and corrected him: "Not from my family, but my nephew."

"Oh, then I have to congratulate you even more."

Zhou Jinbao smiled and said: "No, two children in your team passed the preliminary examination of the college entrance examination a while ago, and one of them is your nephew Li Jiankun..."

"What?"

The old man Guiyi's eyes widened.

The college entrance examination was such a big thing, so he naturally knew that there were quite a few children in Qingxidian taking the preliminary examination.

Isn’t this a good time? Who doesn’t want to try it?
But if there are only two people who have passed, one of them is Jiankun, this...

Among the kids in the village, there is no one more naughty than him!

"Director Jinbao, did you make a mistake? My nephew..."

"Guiyi, are you suspecting that there is something wrong with my work?"

"No, no, I don't mean that..."

"You can't be wrong! There is Li Jiankun, and there is another one named Li Jianqiang, both of whom are from your old Li family. Come on, you might as well send all the letters today. We were not informed until tomorrow."

...

The old man from Guiyi pushed his bicycle all the way back to Qingxidian.

It feels like there's something wrong with this.

Among the children in the village, which one is not better at school than Jiankun?

As a result, except for one who was strong, everyone was outclassed by him.

That's it.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Just make sure there's no mistake.

It's a good thing that I haven't seen this child for a while. Maybe he has changed his gender?
When he was approaching the brigade headquarters, the old man Guiyi stopped and remembered what Zhou Jinbao said to him later.

I couldn't help but raise my head and look towards the hills to the north of the brigade.

"I have to go there."
-
When it was getting dark, the lazy man and his sweetheart were playing shuttlecock in the courtyard.

"call out!"

With this kick, Guifei's lazy man played a new trick, which was very high. He thought that his daughter would definitely be able to catch it well.

"Boom!"

The shuttlecock tied with stones landed on Li Yunmeng's forehead, making a clear and crisp sound.

"Oh my dream!"

The lazy man Guifei's heart was almost broken, so he rushed over and rubbed it.

"Why didn't you answer and hide?"

Li Yunmeng didn't react at all, staring blankly outside the fence courtyard.

Only then did Guifei the lazy man realize something was wrong. He turned his head and his face fell instantly.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
