That day, an unknown person suddenly ran over from the entrance of the village, shouting with a trembling voice, "The college entrance examination has resumed, it has really resumed!"
This sound was like a thunder, exploding instantly in the fields, like a slow-motion movie. Many people slowly stopped and froze in place, unable to believe what they heard.
Some ladies didn't understand what these words meant, but looking at the reactions of these educated youths, they understood that something terrible had happened. She quickly stretched her neck and asked, "What's wrong? What did that young man say?"
Only then did everyone react. They dropped their tools and rushed forward, asking urgently, "Where did you get the news? Is it accurate?"
"Then can we go back to the city?"
"It's great, I can finally go home..."
The man took out a newspaper from his pocket and said, "It's true. The newspaper said it must be true."
A newspaper was circulated over and over, and the sweat and tears on it had already blurred the handwriting.
Zhang Guoan sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Although he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't believe it. His hope had been wiped out by this land long ago, but on the day when the dawn came, he would still Tears welled up in my eyes.
It has been too long, and his youth and enthusiasm will never come back.
But it was like a button that opened a channel for them to go out. Suddenly everyone's desire for knowledge reached its peak. They held books all day long and tried their best to seize this hard-won opportunity.
The captain also turned a blind eye to these educated youths. He knew that these people could not be retained, so he simply did it as a favor and treated it as the last memories of Liujiacun left to them.
Later, Tang Xiaotang and others simply stopped going to work and focused all their energy on studying. There were many villains in the educated youth area. In addition, they had become accustomed to Song Yingwan's place during this period, so they did not move to another place. , except when I go back to sleep, I am here all the time.
We all ate together, but a few of them were not shameless enough to eat and drink for free. They naturally paid for their own rations, and they also took care of all the cooking and sweeping.
Song Yingwan didn't care so much about these things, but she also knew that there should be boundaries even between friends, so she didn't refuse their proposal. Besides, it was quite hard for her to cook for so many people every day.
However, the educated youth center had some objections. After Tang Xiaotang and the others came back exhausted from studying for a day, they felt that their whole heads were swollen, and they wanted to lie down on the bed and close their eyes to sleep in the next second.
I just happened to see Chen Xiangdong coming out of the house, with a sarcastic look on his face, "You actually still value this little educated youth spot. Why, you are not allowed to stay there?"
Yang Xue was already annoyed now that she had to hear him being so weird at night, and she couldn't bear it anymore, "Does this have anything to do with you?!"
Chen Xiangdong sneered, "Why doesn't it matter? If you don't like this place, don't come back!"
Yang Xue took a deep breath and said, "Is this here the one I don't like? It's obviously you."
Chen Xiangdong became angry immediately and said in a deep voice, "Yang Xue! Don't think that I don't dare to hit you because you are a woman!"
When Tang Xiaotang heard this, he stared and said, "Chen Xiangdong, don't look for trouble. Do you dare to try it?!"
Xu Lang was afraid that they would suffer, so he quickly stepped forward to stop them and said with a frown, "Chen Xiangdong, where we are every day seems to have nothing to do with you, right? We have lived together for so many years, so don't make the relationship so rigid in the end."
Chen Xiangdong sneered, "Yeah, who doesn't know that you guys are going to soar into the sky and run out with all your strength!"
At this time, everyone in the room heard the noise and came out. No one spoke after hearing Chen Xiangdong's words.
Yang Xue knew what he meant as soon as she heard this. She glanced at the people around her and said immediately, "What? You don't want to run out? Since the college entrance examination has resumed, it's up to everyone to rely on their own abilities and have this time. Mother-in-law here, why not go back and read two more questions, maybe you can get two more points by then."
Chen Xiangdong's face turned livid when she said, "You..." The others also seemed to have been poked into their minds, with uncomfortable expressions on their faces.
Tang Xiaotang suddenly realized, "Oh~"
"So you're jealous of us working so hard every day? Hey, you're such an interesting person. If you don't want to learn but don't let others learn, how can there be such a good thing in the world!"
She said it so carelessly, and Xu Lang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, with a helpless look on his face, but his eyes were full of indulgence and pampering.
Yang Xue gave her an appreciative look.
Chen Xiangdong became angry and said, "You fart!"
Tang Xiaotang put his hands on his hips, "You're the one who farts, your whole family farts!"
Yang Xue couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard this.
Chen Xiangdong's face was dark and gloomy, and he stared at Tang Xiaotang, as if he was about to rush up and bite him in the next second.
Xu Lang quickly walked over and stood in front of her, looking at Chen Xiangdong warily.
Yang Xue didn't really want to take action, so she said, "This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time. You can't change anything at all."
Then he glanced at the others lightly and said, "Xiaotang, let's go, go back to sleep."
Tang Xiaotang glared at Chen Xiangdong again, "Here he comes."
The next day, Tang Xiaotang told Song Yingwan and Xie Ci about this matter in a eloquent manner. At the end, he cursed, "Chen Xiangdong is so annoying!"
Song Yingwan curled her lips and smiled, "They are just unbalanced."
Yang Xue, "If there is no balance, why don't you take it out on us? Who are you treating as a dumpling?"
Tang Xiaotang, "That's right."
Song Yingwan watched the two people singing harmoniously and said helplessly, "Okay, do you want to learn more?"
Tang Xiaotang said quickly, "Learn, learn, learn."
"Whoever doesn't learn from this is a fool!"
The first snow of the year finally fell. The educated youth of Liujia Village and those who had attended high school in the village stepped into the examination room facing the first snowfall.
When the day actually arrived, Song Yingwan had no other special feelings. She just hoped that it would end soon, because it was so cold in the examination room!
After several people finished the exam, they agreed to meet at the gate. They tacitly agreed not to mention any topic about the exam. After discussing for a long time, they decided to go to a state-owned restaurant to have a good meal first.
How can we not celebrate such a meaningful day?
Regardless of the future outcome, at least this stage has come to an end.
After taking the exam, it was time to look at schools. Song Yingwan and Xie Ci both chose Peking University. After studying for such a long time, they still had the confidence to have money. Besides, when they finally got another chance, of course she wanted to go there. Go to a good university to satisfy your curiosity and vanity.
Tang Xiaotang and the other three had not decided which school they were going to, but when they heard that Song Yingwan and Xie Ci were applying to the capital city, they followed suit without saying a word.
The capital! Who wouldn’t want to go?
Seeing that they had made up their minds, Song Yingwan suggested that they find a school that suits them based on their own scores. After all, this is not a trivial matter.
Since the exam is in December, future admission notices will also be sent here, so no one went home this year.
Now that I think about it, it's quite a coincidence that they spent their first and last year in the countryside in Liujiacun.
