Chapter Twenty-Four: It Should Be Huo
The spring rain is like oil and willows, and the walk-behind tractor with black smoke suddenly passes through the willow forest, turns the grain field and enters the street of Shenjiawa Village, Liu Changgeng patted the driver's shoulder, stepped on the car and jumped on the mud, the narrow horse face put on a solemn face, wrapped his coat tightly and entered the yard: "Brother Shen, is Brother Shen at home?"
"Alas, Secretary Liu, my father is not at home. Hurriedly putting on his clothes, Shen Tiejun walked out of the east house, with a shy smile on his face: "My father is busy working behind the village, is there anything wrong with you?"
Liu Changgeng frowned, stared at him for a while, this goods had pretended to be an honest person in front of Secretary Mao, nodded and said: "Tie Jun, you happen to be at home, your admission letter has something wrong on the way, the car at the post office is in the ditch, the driver is gone, and the people at the post office continue to send mail after the rescue, only to find that there is an admission notice from college students inside, and report to the school as soon as possible, Tie Jun, you have been admitted to university." ”
The notice is a little crude, the handwriting on it is blurry, it seems to be damp, and it can be recognized, Shen Tiejun silently looked at the thin paper, I don't know if he can't look forward to it for a long time, or if he has a higher pursuit in his heart, this letter is the admission notice of the Department of Foreign Languages of Zhongyuan University, and it did not cause the excitement he should have in his heart: "Well, I was admitted to university." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Changgeng was a little sluggish, this was too much of a contrast with the picture he imagined, shouldn't he hug his head and cry, but also look up to the sky and yell three times to show his unwillingness, right?
Why is it so bland?
These thoughts flashed in his mind, Liu Changgeng was a little embarrassed, Shen Tiejun's impassivity made the air seem to fall into a frozen state, and it took a long time to hear him speak: "Secretary, my father is building a house for my eldest brother now, and I will tell him about it when my father comes back, let's make up for it later, how about it?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you know it, you can receive it, I said, you go and report it quickly, the provincial schools are in a hurry." Ah, I still have something to do, let's go first, let's talk later!" Dealing with the scene in embarrassment, Liu Changgeng turned around and left.
Pinching the notice in his hand, Shen Tiejun turned around and went back to the house, stuffed the notice under the bed, and returned to the bed to continue to revise the paper.
Last time I went to the Education Bureau to get the admission ticket, Shen Tiejun also looked at the list by the way, a total of 29 people in Tianh County applied for graduate school, but fortunately there was no age written on it, only the name and the major to apply for, I don't know if Wu Erjin did it or the rules are like this, otherwise if you write a 16-year-old, I am afraid that you will be noticed again.
In addition to him, the youngest is also 31 years old, a difference of 15 years, and the oldest is 40, twice as old as eight years.
After thinking about it for three months, Shen Tiejun finally wrote the paper, and although he was not satisfied, he also saw that the time was almost up, so he copied the paper in triplicate and sent it to the three foreign language colleges in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
said that it is a university in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in fact, Shen Tiejun is also self-aware, his state is purely a wild road, among the 29 people who applied for graduate school in Tianh County, he was the only one who had never studied in college, and the most recent one was also a college graduate.
Then the one that can be selected on the list can't be a first-line existence, the second foreign language in the imperial capital is the third sister's study, it is estimated that there is no play, and it is not enough to share it with others, and the Danda of the magic capital didn't think about it at all, and sent it directly to the outside of the devil, and finally sent a copy of the rabbit to the sheep.
Since it is an eclectic talent, the young age can be regarded as an eclectic, right?
When the tattered padded jackets were replaced by patched gowns, the lively Labor Day of the Golden Week was uneventful, the day of celebration was broadcast on the radio, and the loudspeakers in the village heard the voices of different intellectuals every day, proclaiming the glory of the working class and the efforts of the country to celebrate the holiday.
Although Shen Tiejun is confident, he is not arrogant, last time he provoked the hidden danger of those two "cadres" for the matter of the third sister, and he disappeared when the admission letter of Zhongyuan University came, and his personal performance can be regarded as good whether it is in the village or in the educated youth.
When Shen Daliang's new home was about to dry, Shen Tiejun walked into the examination room for graduate students, and among the 28 uncles and uncles, none of them were willing to communicate with him, maybe they heard that this kid was a wild man who didn't get into college, maybe he didn't have time to take care of him for the exam.
The difficulty of the graduate exam is much more difficult than Shen Tiejun imagined, among the many courses that Wu Erjin said, only political foreign languages and professional courses appeared, and because his professional course was English, in fact, he only took two of the three exams in a row.
Politics is a short board for him, but fortunately, during the time he came back, the newspapers and broadcasts were bombarded in turn, and the exams were all current political content, and there was nothing else to do if he wanted to.
Both unexpected and expected.
"H~O~M~E, should it be Huo?"
Listening to the whispers of his companions, Shen Tiejun was stunned for a long time before swallowing back the pronunciation in his throat, and then he felt that he had made the right choice to apply for the exam.
Think about it, it was the juncture of turning his face with the big brother in that era, and the world was beating the little brother, how could the rabbit who claimed to be the orthodox heir have his heart to the capitalist country, what kind of situation and treatment it is to learn English can be imagined, it is taught in school, most of them are also dumb English, and they can't speak it.
originally wanted to open his mouth to correct it, but Shen Tiejun quickly dispelled this idea, he was originally excluded by them, and at this time correcting it was tantamount to a slap in the face, when the teenage age was the generation difference, the consequences of hitting the elders' faces were unknown, and he finally swallowed back the words in his mouth.
The car that organized the exam was found by the Education Bureau, and when he returned to Tianh County, he also got off at the gate of the Education Bureau, as the deputy captain of the team, Wu Erjin, who had never spoken to Shen Tiejun all the way, pulled him down: "Xiao Shen, you have taken advantage of the sky." ”
"Hehe, Uncle Wu, it's better for you to carry it!"
Saying beautiful words without money, Shen Tiejun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he felt that the test was not bad, the content of the test paper was more than the college entrance examination, and there were three categories of choices, explanations, and mistakes, and he also did the questions that his grandson Shen Lei used for review, so there was nothing to say.
At the end of the exam, Shen Tiejun had to make a choice among the three schools that did not reply, he could marry three husbands with one daughter when he sent his essay to explore the path, but now he really wants to report to the tutor, so naturally he can't cast a net to catch fish.
At this time, Shen Tiejun had already figured out that the second outside of the imperial capital, that was a magical place, listening to Shen Damei say that the reputation seemed to be greater than that of the emperor, and the disciples of the big courtyard who had only gone through the difficult era, at this time it was the time to turn over the serfs and sing, and return to the imperial capital from other places one after another, no matter how big or small, it was a sensitive time.
The Modu Foreign Language Institute is located in the Modu, which is also a place full of talents, as the most xenophobic city in later generations, it feels no better than the second foreign capital of the imperial capital, and the people of the imperial capital are so deflated that they want to explode, in order to find a sense of existence.
Yangwai is a good place, where there will not freeze hands and feet in winter, this is the first superior condition that Shen Tiejun thought of, the second thought is that there is to eat rice, no need to gnaw steamed buns, and the third is that place in the next forty years, it will be the open window of the republic.
Shen Tiejun didn't understand that in the novels that Shen Lei recommended to him, where did the courage and luck of the people who went to the imperial capital to go to the underground godfather come from when they came back, so that they were not discovered and cleaned up by the ubiquitous Yang Dynasty aunts and the Yang Dynasty masses.
It is said that before 1987, relying on the existence of local bigwigs who sold parallel goods, referring to the bigwigs surnamed Wang who would rather resell corn than touch parallel goods in the same period, we know how unreliable this matter is.
Shen Tiejun was a little high-spirited, Wu Erjin saw it in his eyes, smiled and didn't speak, if he was admitted to a graduate school - a 16-year-old graduate student, what kind of concept is this, I'm afraid it will cause a sensation across the country.
At this moment of winning people's hearts, as long as this guy's ass does not sit crookedly, the future will soar, and he can think of it with his toes: "I inquired for you, the number of applicants and the admission ratio this time are 6:1, mainly focusing on engineering, science and medical literature, why, after hearing this news, have you been hit?"
"No, after listening to the words of these seniors, my confidence is even stronger. ”
Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world, and the next 20 years will be the world of mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Of course, this does not include English, look at those English cram schools everywhere, think about the four, six, and eight grade exams, how many students in the study of the head cantilever cone thorn strand, silently asked: "For Mao a Chinese to take the English test?"
Bidding farewell to Wu Erjin and sitting in the car back to the commune, Shen Tiejun looked at the people who were in a hurry at the window.
The road is rotten, the main road in Tianh County is still the oil road that was repaired ten years ago, and it is repaired at this time, just like the coat on Shen Tiejun's body, full of patches.
When the sun sets, the army of bicycles from the factories and mining enterprises poured out, instantly crowded with two-way two-lane roads, people's faces with a light full of hope, the new year and new atmosphere, when the bus drove out of the city, Shen Tiejun frowned, a familiar figure carrying a basket, sneakily turned into the side street.
Behind him, there were two old ladies with small feet.
