Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 242 Resume the College Entrance Examination

The busy days passed quickly.

Half a month after Ouyang Zhao left, Yu Zhengming and Fang Yuzhen were also rehabilitated and taken back to their original units. In the end, only Lu Shichang and Tian Bochuan were left.

Tian Bochuan became more and more anxious, and needed Lin Qingyan to come over and calm them down from time to time.

In September, Lin Qingyan received a letter from Gu Yizhou and a bunch of study materials.

I even received study materials sent by Ouyang Zhao.

Gu Yizhou told her in the letter that there were voices from above calling for the resumption of the college entrance examination. Although things had not been finalized yet, the possibility of resuming the college entrance examination was very high, so she should be prepared.

Lin Qingyan showed the letter directly to Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan.

"Just read it for yourselves. There is no definite information at the moment, so don't spread it."

Lin Qingyan paused and continued, "If it's Xu Jianshan and the others, you can say it in a veiled way."

"Qingyan, if the college entrance examination is resumed, do you think we can pass it?"

Ye Yi was excited and a little nervous. On the one hand, she was hopeful, but on the other hand, she felt conflicted when she thought about leaving school for many years.

"Sure!"

"But we have been away from school for many years and have been working all year round, so I am worried." Ye Yi was a little unconfident.

"We don't know the specific policies, and we don't know whether we can take the exam at that time, but no matter what, it's always a good idea to seize the time to review now.

At least according to the official notice above, if we can take the exam, we will have reviewed earlier than others and have a greater chance of success than others.

Besides, now we not only have books, but also other learning materials, which are much better than others. At least most people don’t know this information now.”

Lin Qingyan encouraged her friends earnestly.

Wang Lanlan has always been averse to studying, but now her eyes are shining brightly.

"If I get into college, then I don't have to go back to the countryside? My mother won't urge me to find a partner anymore?"

Lin Qingyan had to admire her train of thought.

"If you get into college, do you think your mother will still urge you to find a partner in your hometown? Will she let a college student like you find someone who does farm work?"

Ye Yi was also awakened by her train of thought. She stopped hesitating and asked her directly.

Wang Lanlan was even happier when she heard this.

"Okay, I've decided. I'm going to take the college entrance exam and become the first college student in my family. I want them not to be able to decide my future at will. I'm going to fight for my future. Even if I have to stay up all night, I'm going to review all the knowledge!"

"Yes, this is our only chance to change our destiny. Let's fight for the future!"

Ye Yi thought of her parents and her thin little sister.

In the past six months, she has called the street office from time to time, and the Women's Federation has been paying attention to their family. Her younger sister's life has become better, and it is said that she was arranged by the Women's Federation to go to school.

If she wanted to change her fate, she could only hope that the college entrance examination would be restored so that she could be admitted to university. Otherwise, her family would not find a connection to allow her to return to the city unless she agreed to marry the man whose two wives had died.

But he is so young, how could he be willing? Thinking of this, she said to Wang Lanlan in a firm tone:

"We have such a great opportunity now, Lanlan, we must not miss it!"

"Okay! Let's work together for the future!"

"work together!"

Several girls hugged each other and cheered each other up!

On October 1977, 10, the government officially issued a document to resume the college entrance examination. Not only the current senior high school students could take the exam, but even those who had graduated from high school many years ago could take it.

Even those who have not graduated from high school can participate as long as you have the courage.

All major media outlets quickly announced this information, and those who were well-informed rushed to bookstores to buy study materials.

When the educated youth who went to the countryside heard this information from the village radio, they were instantly excited.

There were cries of grief in many of the educated youth sites. When they wiped away their tears and tried to buy teaching materials and information, they were no longer available.

At this time, Xu Jianshan brought Zhao Guan and others to thank Lin Qingyan.

Xu Jianshan had been keeping an eye on Gu Yizhou when he was studying with the textbook last year, and he secretly bought a set for himself. This summer, when the people in the cowshed were being rehabilitated,

Lin Qingyan reminded them again that everyone at the educated youth site, including Sun Qiu Shui, had bought a set of textbooks in advance.

At this time, they did not need to compete for resources with the numerous educated youth.

"The exam is in early December, and there isn't much time to prepare. Lin Zhiqing, I want to ask, can we study with you during this time?"

Xu Jianshan told them the purpose of their visit today, and the other people also stared at Lin Qingyan waiting for her answer.

"How are you going to handle your work in the experimental group?"

All the people at the educated youth site are in the experimental group established in Xishui Village at the beginning of the year. This group has the work of recording data to do every day.

"We have already found the village chief and told him that we want to take the college entrance examination. The village chief has agreed and approved a leave note for us so that we can concentrate on studying during this period!"

Xu Jianshan made full preparations before coming to see Lin Qingyan.

Seeing that he had made all the arrangements, Lin Qingyan naturally would not refuse them.

So everyone at the educated youth point, including Wang Lanlan, began to study together every day.

Lin Qingyan selected a few questions from each subject from the real college entrance examination papers printed out in Modern Times, changed the data and scenarios, and added them to their review materials.

Lin Qingyan didn’t know what the final result of studying together was, but she could clearly feel that Ye Yi was becoming more and more confident.

At Lin Qingyan's reminder, Ye Yi reviewed her previous knowledge earlier. She even suspected that Lin Qingyan knew about the resumption of the college entrance examination very early, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible.

But no matter what, she is a beneficiary. If a beneficiary wants to achieve more success or more choices, the only way is to acquire more knowledge.

Lu Shichang and Tian Bochuan, who were still in the cowshed, learned that Lin Qingyan and the others were studying for the exam together, so they secretly acted as teachers for them. They could bring any questions they didn't know how to answer to them, and they would help explain them.

Several people were rehabilitated in the cowshed, and the villagers no longer had any hostility towards the remaining Lu Shichang and his group.

There are also two high school graduates in the village who are preparing to take the college entrance examination this year.

After thinking for a long time and discussing with the village cadres, the village chief decided to let Lu Shichang and his men from the cowshed move to the house in the backyard of the educated youth site again. They would not be required to work on weekdays, so they could be asked to teach several people in the village who were preparing to take the college entrance examination.

Amidst their intense studies, they still found time to go to the county town together to register for this year's college entrance examination.

But I didn't expect to see such a big drama at the registration site.
