On May 29, Ma Jiatong and the others took a plane to Guangzhou, and then transferred from Guangzhou to take a train to Xiangjiang, and those who were going to Xiangjiang to take the TOEFL test were finally ready to leave.

Although the exam was organized by the school, it was not only the students of this school, but also the students of more than a dozen other universities, despite this, when they got together, Chen Dahe looked at the dozen or so people who were sparsely pulled, and he was still a little surprised.

Doesn't it mean that many people want to go abroad, why are there so few people?

In fact, although people at this time want to go abroad, but there are not many people who really have action, after all, the country has just opened, no one knows what the situation is outside, only because of the disgust of the existing life that the mood of wanting to escape, on the one hand is expectation, on the other hand is fear.

It didn't take until the mid-80s to start, and the next decade was the real frenzy of going abroad, when the first people to go out returned to their hometowns in a beautiful way, and brought back the news that there was gold all over the ground, which instantly detonated the pain nerves of the whole society, whether it was a student, a civil servant, a businessman, an actor, no matter what industry he was, there was no one who didn't want to go abroad.

One by one, I went crazy to take the TOEFL test, entrusted to the relationship, found a way, married someone who can marry outside, even if I marry a dog, it doesn't matter what country I go to, it can also be a small country in South Asia, I can study abroad, professional schools are not important, the important thing is to be able to go out, the whole family is also on the battlefield to fully support, it seems that as long as you can send people out, it is a great honor, the whole family can live a good life in the future, and it doesn't matter if the people who go out are brushing dishes or carrying big bags, well, in their opinion, going out to carry big bags is also better than staying in the country.

The more beautiful is still the public to go abroad, both safe and face, there is a living allowance every month, when returning to China, you can save thousands of dollars by buying tax-free refrigerators and color TVs, which is enough for ordinary workers for several years, if you can do some part-time work or something, then you can earn more.

However, if you want to say that the most conspicuous ones belong to those famous literary and artistic workers, in the words of later generations, they are film and television singers, because these people have relatively good economic conditions and many ways, it is relatively easier to go abroad, so the well-known actors and singers who have risen in the past ten years have almost ninety percent of them immigrated later, and few have stayed in China for development.

Later, needless to say, those who stayed behind basically became bigwigs-level figures in the circle, and after going out, the number of people who could still develop was less than the number of these bigwigs, almost all of them were unknown, leaving only some ancient works for future generations to recall.

Chen Dahe, who was born in the 80s in his previous life, naturally didn't know so much about these, and now he was carrying a satchel and lined up in the crowd helplessly, waiting to get on the train with the team leader.

This time to Xiangjiang exam, of course, a large group of people can not take a plane, not even a sleeper, the teacher who led the team is no exception, and everyone is crowded in the hard seat carriage, think about Ma Jiatong who is about to land at Guangzhou Airport, Chen Dahe can't help but burst into tears, employees take planes, bosses take trains, is there such a fun!

After getting on the bus, the other students chatted excitedly, looking at the scenery outside the window from time to time and pointing at the retreating scenery, quite a bit of the momentum of the dung of the ten thousand households, Chen Dahe sat on the stiff chair, moved his butt from time to time, stared out the window silently, and complained in his heart about how time was as slow as the current train.

At this time, a male classmate on the opposite side chatted with the people around him, and finally stared at Chen Dahe, "Hey, classmate, what grade are you studying?"

The corners of Chen Dahe's mouth twitched, although he didn't want to speak now, he still said with a smile, "Freshman, sophomore year in the second half of the year." ”

Although these people are all college students of the third generation, the future backbone of the country, whether they go abroad or stay in China, as long as they do not die by themselves, their development achievements will definitely not be low.

"Freshman, no wonder you don't look very old," the male classmate said familiarly, "It should be just twenty, I'm from Beiwai, which university are you?"

Although Chen Dahe is not yet seventeen years old, he is not young in his heart, and he has been well nourished in the past year, and he has risen very much this year, and he does look almost in his twenties from the outside.

"Peking University," Chen Dahe didn't want to talk about himself or correct his age, but just asked rhetorically, "Are you going to take the TOEFL test to prepare for studying abroad?"

"Why don't you study abroad and take the TOEFL," a female classmate next to him also interjected, "It's that you're only a freshman, it's too early to take the TOEFL, and your school will send you out?"

"I'll try it, and I'll talk about it if it doesn't work out," Chen Dahe grimaced, even if he looked older than his real age, but he was indeed the youngest in this group of people, and the oldest one was estimated to be older than Ma Anguo, no wonder they kept pulling on themselves.

"If you want me to say that it's better for you to take the test two years later, you have a bigger grasp, and you won't waste money," an older male student said with a hint of preaching, "It seems that just before the Spring Festival this year, you Peking University had one, and you went to take the TOEFL test in your thirties. ”

Before Chen Dahe could speak, someone next to him asked excitedly, "Really, who is so powerful?"

"It seems to be a teacher from the Department of Western Languages of Peking University, I forgot what it was called," the man continued, "Because it was a teacher from Peking University who led the team that time, not from our school, so I don't know very well,"

Then he looked at Chen Dahe, "Hey, classmate, do you know?"

"Uh," Chen Dahe thought to himself, it should be Ma Anguo, otherwise where would he get so many perfect marks, "It seems to be a teacher in the Spanish department." ”

"Of course, it's from the Spanish department," the male classmate who first talked to Chen Dahe laughed, "it can't be from the Chinese department." ”

The others also burst into laughter, and then brought the topic to the exam, and they chatted with Chen Dahe just to see that he was young, so naturally they would not regard him as the center of the topic.

Chen Dahe also watched them chatting indifferently, and interjected a few sentences from time to time to find a sense of existence.

After a while, the conductor brought boiling water, and the classmates took a cup and took out their own dry food to prepare for dinner, Chen Dahe also took a piece of meat cake prepared by Aunt Lan from his satchel and gnawed on it.

The train they took was an express train, with a speed of up to 90 kilometers per hour, and it only took more than 40 hours to travel from Beijin to Guangzhou, including the time of stopovers.

Well, when Chen Dahe heard this passage from the conductor's mouth, he suddenly had an urge to think about, more than forty hours, a little later, break fifty in minutes, and when you arrive in Guangzhou, it should be June 1st!
