Suisui at Seventy

The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination swept across Dayan Village almost instantly, and even many villagers who had never gone to school were talking about it.

"Have you heard that? The country has resumed the college entrance examination!"

"Isn't it? I heard that there is no threshold yet, and we farmers can also sign up!"

"What's the use of being able to sign up? Can it be compared to those intellectuals? I can't even write my own name."

"Do you still want to take the university entrance exam by yourself? Don't look at how old you are!"

"What a laugh! The above said, regardless of age, you can take the test at the age of 30 or 40! Why can't I!"

"Seriously, will we children have the opportunity to go to college in the city in the future?"

"Oh, my Da Mao hasn't gone to school when he is ten years old! I have to go back and talk to my man quickly, let him send Da Mao to school!"

For the educated youth point, a People’s Daily that was brought back from the outside has been circulated and read countless times. In order to avoid damage, everyone cut out the piece of news about the resumption of the college entrance examination and posted it on the wall. Everyone gathered around the wall and looked up.

Zheng Qing said excitedly: "Unexpectedly, I didn't expect to have such a day, Xiaoyan, you touch my hand, I feel my whole body is trembling now."

Li Xianghong, who has always been indifferent, turned his eyes red: "Sisters, hurry up, here's a chance!"

Wang Xiaoyan held Zheng Qing's hand and said happily: "Great, we have a chance to go back."

There are also educated youths who are more excited than them. At this moment, they have already ran outside and shouted loudly, overjoyed.

But after the excitement, everyone began to fall into depression again.

Wang Xiaoyan: "The news says that the college entrance examination this year will start in December, so there is only more than a month left! How can this be in time? I haven't read a book for three years."

Zheng Qing was even more frowning: "Oh my god, I was longer than you. I was in the literacy class before, and I found out that I almost forgot how to write a lot of words!"

Li Xianghong smiled bitterly: "Don't say it, I have been here for ten years, who is longer than me? The top priority, we have to buy books! Quickly review!"

Zheng Qing wanted to cry a little: "For more than a month, can I review it?"

Li Xianghong said to do it, turned around and pulled them back to the room: "If you don't do it, you will never be able to review. The college entrance examination has been suspended for so long. Who is not like us? After all, everyone is still standing on the same starting line!"

Wang Xiaoyan excitedly said: "Sister Xiang Hong is right! We are all the same, so what we have to fight for is more than a month's hard work!"

Zheng Qing nodded fiercely: "Okay!"

The three of them dig out all the money from their luggage and put them together, discussing that they will go to town to buy books at dawn tomorrow.

Other educated youths have the same thoughts as them, tossing and turning around all night, waiting for dawn with excitement.

On the other side, when Shen Zhiwen heard the news, he was overwhelmed with ecstasy and then frowned.

Although there are books around him, they are all useless collections of essays, and there are no useful textbooks.

Shy in his pocket, he could only ask Zhang Wenfang to borrow money with a shy face: "Fangfang, do you have change on hand? Borrow me a little bit. I want to go to town to buy some books tomorrow."

Zhang Wenfang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and refused indiscriminately: "Why are you buying books? Spending money!"

Shen Zhiwen: "Fangfang, you weren't like this before. Didn't you say that a man who loves reading has the most connotation?"

Zhang Wenfang gave a light spit, and said, "You said that was before. Now that we are married, we have to spend money everywhere at home. If you can't get a penny out of it, it's fine. You still need me to buy a book? I have spare money to do this for you!"

Shen Zhiwen was a little dissatisfied. He pointed to the new clothes on her and said, "Isn't it more meaningful to spend money on books and gain knowledge than you make new clothes?"

Zhang Wenfang cut a voice: "Okay, just say it straight. Did you hear the news about the resumption of the college entrance examination and want to prepare for the exam and return to the city?"

Shen Zhiwen’s attitude instantly persuaded him, and he warmly said: "Fangfang, have you heard that too? The country has resumed the college entrance examination. This is a golden opportunity! I have been studying for more than ten years, and I am waiting for this day. Fangfang, you will understand me, right?"

Zhang Wenfang: "I understand, but what does it matter to me? If you want to go to school, I am not a big villain, and I stopped you from letting you go. But I want money, no!"

Shen Zhiwen flushed, and begged: "Fangfang, we are married together, and you will be better when I get better. If I can go to the university and return to the city, won't you be the wife of the champion? This is also honoring our family! "

Zhang Wenfang smiled: "Why do you think so? You are still a champion! If there is a champion like you in the world, it will be over! Besides, I think you never regard yourself as our family, your light, our family Can't get it!"

Zhang Wenfang pushed Shen Zhiwen away and ignored him. Shen Zhiwen had no choice but to frown on his own.

Jiang Suisui had been expecting this day silently, so when the news arrived, she excitedly hugged Granny Jiang and said happily, "Grandma, did you hear that? The college entrance examination is resumed!"

Granny Jiang: "I heard that, do you want to go?"

Jiang Suisui nodded: "Want to go! I'm going to register! Go to the college entrance examination! Go to university!"

Granny Jiang said cheerfully: "Good good, good deeds, good deeds, we may also be able to have a cultural person in our family, and grandma will support you!"

After speaking, she sighed again and said: "I wanted to ask you, it's almost the end of the year, when will we talk about marriage, now..."

Jiang Suisui paused, and then quickly said: "Grandma, I'm going to Song Weizheng, come back later! You don't have to wait for me to rest!"

Granny Jiang looked at her recklessly running away and couldn't help but smile: "Really, she's still like a child."

When Jiang Sui arrived at Song Weizheng's house, he shouted as soon as he walked in the door: "Aunt Lan, Xiaoxue, I'm coming! Song Weizheng, are you there?"

Song Yuxue ran out from the back room, and took her hand and said, "Sister Sui Sui!"

Jiang Suisui pulled her into the house, and asked as he walked, "Xiaoxue, is your brother at home?"

Song Yuxue nodded: "Yes, talking to mother in the house, the door is closed, I can't hear it."

"Huh?" Jiang Suisui asked in confusion, "Do you speak alone with the door closed? Then I will sit outside and wait for a while, let them finish first."

When he came to the hall to sit down, Song Yuxue lay on the table and pulled the radio to Jiang Suisui and said, "Sister Suisui, my brother's radio has been repaired."

"Really?!" Jiang Suisui was pleasantly surprised, and he simply lay on the table with Xiaoxue, playing with the radio, "Your brother is really good, and he can fix it without a teacher."

Song Yuxue: "I heard someone talking on the radio just now, and then my mother and brother went into the house to talk."

Jiang Suisui asked casually: "What did it say on the radio?"

Song Yuxue wrinkled her face and thought for a while, and said, "It seems to say...what college entrance examination... Sister Sui Sui, what is college entrance examination?"

Jiang Suisui was stunned, and then reacted: "Have you heard the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination on the radio?"

Song Yuxue nodded, and then saw Jiang Suisui with a happy face and said: "It seems that Song Weizheng should also know the news."

Song Yuxue asked: "Sister Suisui, what is the college entrance examination?"

Jiang Suisui explained: "It's a national comprehensive exam, which tests your language, mathematics and other subjects. If the participant can pass the exam, he can be admitted to the university and become a college student."

Song Yuxue seemed to understand but not: "University, is it just like my elementary school?"

Jiang Suisui smiled and said: "Um... the same but not the same. They are all places to learn knowledge, but the knowledge of universities is as vast as a sea of ​​stars, and the universities will gather talents from all over the country. You can see more differences. People who have enjoyed a different life experience. Xiaoxue, if you can, study hard and go to university in the future. If you want to be an actor, you can study a major in film and television."

After hearing this, Song Yuxue began to yearn for: "Okay, then I want to go to university too!"

While talking and laughing with Song Yuxue, Jiang Suisui was tuning the radio. The radio gradually played out sound intermittently, seeming to be playing some opera. Jiang Suisui hadn't heard of it. At this time, he and Song Yuxue were surrounded by the radio and listened with gusto.

After a while, the door of the back room behind him was suddenly opened. Jiang Sui heard his reputation, and saw Song Weizheng walking out of the back room, his face shrouded in shadows, some of his expressions could not be seen clearly.

She greeted happily: "Song Weizheng!"

Hearing her voice, Song Weizheng paused, then walked forward, touched Song Yuxue's head, and said, "Xiaoxue, it's getting late, and my mother is going to bed too. Go in and accompany her."

Song Yuxue blinked and said, "Oh... I went in first at that year old sister."

Jiang Suisui waved his hand and watched her leave, then turned his head and smiled: "Stop Xiaoxue, what do you want to do?"

Song Weizheng took her hand: "Go for a walk?"

Jiang Suisui couldn't help snickering: "Okay, let's go!"

It is just after the evening, the sky is dark, most of the villagers are at home, and a few are still on the road, visiting or busy.

Song Weizheng and Jiang Suisui skillfully circled an unmanned road leading to the back mountain and strolled slowly, holding hands.

After walking for a while, when Jiang Suisui saw Song Weizheng being silent, he shook his hand and said, "Hey, I just listened to the radio. You are so amazing, you really have repaired it."

Song Weizheng hummed softly, "Actually, I didn't do anything later, it was all right suddenly."

"Oh..." Jiang Suisui stretched out the tone, and then couldn't help but said, "I heard Xiaoxue say that the news is on the radio today?"

Song Weizheng stopped and turned around to look at her. Under the night, his expression was a little complicated, Jiang Sueseui couldn't understand.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Suisui asked, "I heard that the college entrance examination has been resumed. You should know it too? This is good news for us."

She took Song Weizheng's hand and said, "Shall we go to register for the college entrance examination together?"

Song Weizheng was not as happy and excited as she had hoped, but suddenly asked: "What if... I won't go?"
