Li Xiangxiu couldn't help but choke up a little when she said this.

Zhou Hongshan sounded the newspaper that he had taken back, did not speak, and lowered his head.

The cold wind blew in, the flame of the oil lamp flickered, and the husband and wife had their own thoughts in the dim light.

After a long time, Zhou Hongshan's foot-washing water was cold, and then he took out his feet and sighed, "The days to come are still long, let's take care of our bodies, there will always be a day when we go back, and we can still help the children at that time." ”

Li Xiangxiu wiped a handful of tears and nodded.

Soon it was the end of January, and the people in Mengjiang Village began to receive admission letters from various universities one after another.

Every day, people run to the post and telecommunications office in the town to ask, and every day when someone receives the admission letter, they will shout in the village, and the whole village will be happy.

After all, there are many college students in a village, and everyone in the village has a light on their faces when they go out.

Meng Sanqiu walks with the wind these days, and the original sorrowful intellectuals are gone, afraid that the factory will not be well managed, but now the sorrow of being rushed by joy has faded.

Li Yuanjia was the first to receive a notice from the county secondary school.

Deng Junliang and his wife Chen Miaomiao then received a notice from a university in the provincial capital, and the two began to pack their luggage happily and go to the provincial capital to report with the notice.

He Wencai received a notice from a junior college in Nancheng, and when he left, he went to Bai Yuqing and said goodbye, but he was caught by Li Wenjing again, and he made a fuss without reluctance.

Bai Yuqing turned around impatiently and left, the college entrance examination was over, and she didn't need He Wencai to help her make up for her classes, so she was too lazy to perfunctory He Wencai.

He Wencai went home with a gloomy look and packed his luggage, and fought with Li Wenjing again, I heard that when he went to report and left, there were still blood marks on his face.

As the educated youth in the village are getting fewer and fewer, the admission letters of Zhou Niannian, Qi Jiayan and Bai Yuqing have not yet arrived.

Even Zhou Niannian was a little breathless, and ran to the village committee to call Lu's house, originally wanting Lu Qingfeng to help investigate, but Lu Qingfeng was not at home, and it was Yang Shutong who answered the phone.

"It's Niannian," Yang Shutong couldn't stop laughing when she heard Zhou Niannian's voice, "I heard your Uncle Lu say that you were admitted to the Law Department of Kyoto University, or did you get the first place in the Law Department, by the way, did you receive the notice?"

Zhou Niannian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and thanked Yang Shutong, "I haven't received the notice yet, Aunt Lu, thank you so much, I haven't heard the news, I'm really scared, I'm afraid I won't be able to get over it." ”

Yang Shutong smiled on the other end of the phone, "Your grades are so good, how can it be okay, the girl that your Uncle Lu said that lived with you was also admitted to the medical department, well, there is ......"

Yang Shutong paused when she said this, and seemed to be a little unsure of what to say.

"Aunt Lu, what's wrong?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then Yang Shutong's hesitant voice came, "And the daughter of your parents, your Uncle Lu said that she also passed the line and was admitted to the acting department." ”

Bai Yuqing was also admitted! Zhou Niannian suddenly felt that there was a feeling that God had not opened his eyes.

Going around and around, she still wants to go to the same university as Bai Yuqing.

However, in the acting department, this is really in line with Bai Yuqing's character, she loves to pretend so much, not being an actor really buries her.

Hung up Yang Shutong's phone, Zhou Niannian returned home, Qi Jiayan grabbed her, and her nervous breath was held, "How is it, how is it?"

Zhou Niannian smiled, "We were all admitted." ”

Qi Jiayan was stunned for a moment, then hugged Zhou Niannian and couldn't help crying.

Zhou Niannian hugged her, listening to her crying, and her eyes couldn't help but be hot.

For these educated youths who went to the countryside, the days of working all day and seeing no hope have finally come to an end, and their fate has finally changed.

Early the next morning, Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan went to the post and telecommunications office together after breakfast.

According to Yang Shutong, the admission letter should arrive in these two days.

As soon as I entered the post and telecommunications office, I saw Bai Yuqing lying at the window and asked, "Comrade, can you give me Zhou Niannian's notice?" We are from a village, I can help her carry it. ”

The comrades inside said with a straight look: "No, the notice must be received in person." ”

Bai Yuqing seemed to be a little unwilling, "Comrade, she may not be able to come if she has something today, I ......"

"Who said I couldn't come if I had something?" Zhou Niannian sneered behind her, "I didn't even know that I had something wrong, but you actually knew." ”

Bai Yuqing's body stiffened slightly, turned her head and still had that aggrieved face, and with a weak smile, "Niannian, I... I thought you couldn't come because of something, so I wanted to bring you and Jiayan's notice back with me. ”

Qi Jiayan rolled her eyes, "I thank you." ”

Zhou Niannian clasped his hands and looked at Bai Yuqing with a sneer, "Bai Yuqing, you'd better not have other ideas, if you let me know what you want to do with my notice, I guarantee that you won't be able to go to Kyoto University, and the two of us will spend time together in Mengjiang Village." ”

Bai Yuqing's expression changed, and he moved to the side with a wry smile, the expression on his face became more and more aggrieved, "Niannian, how can you think of me like this? I was also admitted to Kyoto University, and we will be alumni in the future, how could I treat you like that." ”

She shook the admission letter in her hand, "I know you misunderstood me, and you always think that I have bad intentions, it's okay, I will let you see my sincerity over time." ”

"I'll wait. Zhou Niannian curled the corners of his mouth, turned around and asked the comrades at the post and telecommunications bureau to get the notice.

Bai Yuqing bit her lip, clenched the notice in her hand, and took the opportunity to leave.

Zhou Niannian and Qi Jiayan, who got the notice, couldn't wait to open the notice, and couldn't help but smile when they looked at the content inside.

"Let us report on February 10th, well, isn't that the New Year's New Year, we have to leave?" Qi Jiayan looked at the reporting time above, calculated, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zhou Niannian nodded, she remembered that the candidates in the previous life of seven or seven years reported at the beginning of February, and the candidates of seven or eight years reported at the end of August, and the difference between the two classes of students was half a year.

The two walked out of the post and telecommunications office happily, but they met Yang Jiarui head-on.

Seeing the notice in their hands, Yang Jiarui raised his eyebrows and asked happily, "Is it the notice from Kyoto University?"

He had already known from Meng Sanqiu that they had all applied for Kyoto University.

Zhou Niannian nodded.

"That's great. Yang Jiarui said excitedly, "I also received a notice from the National Defense University in Kyoto yesterday, and we can meet in Kyoto in the future." ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Zhou Niannian congratulated him.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of '77, many people received notices and added a lot of laughter, and many people's fates also took a turn in this year.
