", this day is really not a human life, Lao Tzu no longer wants a peasant hukou. ”

In the middle of the night, Gu Biao returned to the bungalow that was used as the office of the production team, and after completing the registration procedures, he was so tired that he fell asleep.

He didn't expect how inhumane the peasants' midsummer double rush was. Especially in his later life, he used air conditioning in the summer since he was a child, and this kind of day is unimaginable.

As soon as the next morning dawned, the farmer who was in charge of accepting him started work, and unceremoniously took Gu Biao up and went to work together.

By the time Gu Biao arrived, the double robbery had already passed the halfway point, and the early rice and other ripe crops had already been harvested and dried, so he only needed to be in charge of planting and supporting the late rice—I heard that this was already relatively easy. (Only places in the south of the Yangtze River that plant two crops need to be double-robbed, that is, the first season is harvested, and the next season is immediately rushed, and it is necessary to hurry.) In the Northeast, where only one crop is planted and the growing season is long, the summer is not so busy. ）

If you catch up with the season when the early rice has not yet dried and put into the warehouse, you not only have to work 16 hours a day, but you also have to pay attention to the weather at all times.

In the event of a summer thunderstorm, as soon as you see the dark clouds coming up, you have to run back as if you were running for your life, and gather all the tarpaulins for drying rice before it rains. Otherwise, if the rice is drenched with mold several times, you will wait for the famine year to be hungry.

The farmer who was responsible for receiving Gu Biao's queue was surnamed Zheng, and the head of the family was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a wife and children. Uncle Zheng worked hard in order to warn Gu Biao, and also used the old news in the village to intimidate him:

"Work with your hands and feet quickly! Don't be lazy at a young age! The year before last, there was a young educated man from Hujiang who was picking fat and thin, and the production team had already given him preferential treatment, and he was specially asked to be responsible for harvesting and drying rice. As a result, he still took a nap and didn't look at the weather. As soon as the thunderstorm came, the whole group of millet was drenched, and thousands of catties of mildew were lost.

In the end, he was outraged, and the cardinal gave him the lowest work rate, only 12 pounds of rations a month, and he also gave him chaff, and no one in the entire production team spoke for him! In the end, he starved to death! When you go to such a place, you can be a good man, and you can't use your hands and eyes in the city to the sky!"

Gu Biao knew that this kind of place was a place where Xiucai met soldiers, and there was no place for you to spend money to solve the problem. Since you're new here, let's be more restrained.

It should be regarded as suffering his mind and straining his muscles and bones.

Anyway, before he came, he had already finished the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", and he was not nervous about the review time. As long as he is asked to find his status in the last three months before the exam, it will be no problem.

Just came to cut in line, obediently accepted a dismount, and carried the busiest season with a correct attitude, and then it was easy to speak.

So for nearly 20 days, Gu Biao was very diligent. Without saying a word of complaint, he did the roughest and most tiring rice planting work, and carried through the hottest season of August.

The cardinals of the commune/production team, as well as the staff of the Educated Youth Office, visited the home several times during this period, and Uncle Zheng gave good feedback. The cardinal characterized Gu Biao as a good person who "actively accepts re-education and reform".

In late August, after the busy farming season was over, Gu Biao would borrow some kerosene to light a lamp and read a book every night, and later gradually developed into spending money to buy kerosene.

It's not that every household can't afford to buy electric lights, but that it's not connected to the city's power grid.

Only the township itself has set up a small hydroelectric power, and during the flood season, the peasants basically do not need money for electricity, but after the flood season, there is no electricity, and the electric lights have completely become decorations, and they still have to burn kerosene.

And these difficulties were all things that Gu Biao had never thought of before he came.

He has the impression that "no electricity in the countryside" must be a situation that only existed during the Republic of China.

In the CCTV TV series, it is clear that after those educated youths heard about the resumption of the college entrance examination, they were all happily fighting in the countryside to review and study hard!

It can only be said that the editor of the drama has harmed people a lot.

Gu Biao can only adapt to reality little by little.

……

While Gu Biao was struggling in the countryside, the capital was also surging.

The question of whether to resume the college entrance examination is very fierce, and it has been discussed since July, and it has been discussed for two months, and there is still one big stone left that cannot be bypassed.

1977 was also the year of "Learning to Grasp the Outline of Documents".

It is necessary to turn the corner and wait for next year's great plenary session to turn the page before we dare to formally mention that seeking truth from facts and practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Therefore, I wanted to resume the college entrance examination in 77, and the last big stone was the "Minutes of the National Education Work Conference" adopted 6 years ago (71).

It was that document that established the "recommendation system for going to university".

And that document was "agreed" by the late great leader himself.

The intense meeting lasted until September 20th.

In the end, the new great leader finally discovered a problem: According to the investigation conclusion of the internal reference of the "Renren Daily", it seems that the "Minutes" of six years ago were not read by the late leaders! After the leaders were read by the leaders, they were polished and finalized by Zhang and Yao.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to "overbearing"!

The internal reference of the survey was immediately forwarded to all participants, and the last theoretical obstacle to the resumption of the college entrance examination was removed.

On the final voting day of the meeting on September 25, it was unanimously approved to resume the college entrance examination.

If history can be assumed, later historians have speculated that if the problem of "overbearing" had not been discovered at that time, the resumption of the college entrance examination might have really dragged on until 79 years later, after comprehensively seeking truth from facts.

Because he watched historical dramas in his previous life, Gu Biao has a very deep memory of the great day of September 25th.

Since September, he has been in a state of full speed revision.

Because he had a good relationship with Uncle Zheng's family, and Gu Biao was rich and the busiest farming season had passed, Gu Biao began to use money to buy work.

Uncle Zheng also has a 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy at home, who have not yet reached the age of labor.

But when Gu Biao came up with a replacement price of 5 cents a day, the children of the Zheng family immediately put Gu Biao's farm work over.

The Zheng family has been curious many times about what Gu Biao is trying to study so hard in the countryside, but they have all been prevaricated by Gu Biao's speculation that "maybe he will take the exam in the future".

Anyway, Gu Biao said very vaguely, and no one else can say that he is a prophet in the future.

Since he has money, let him be.

However, Gu Biao waited for September 25th, and even waited for the 11th National Day, without waiting for the notice of resuming the college entrance examination.

At first, he thought it was because of the remoteness of Hui Province and the lack of news in the mountainous areas, so he was not in a hurry. On the day of the National Day, he specially rode a bicycle to Changxing, L County, and bought all the types of newspapers in Huzhou City in recent days.

Then I carefully read through them all.

Still nothing.

"It's impossible, it's been a week, and it's not a six-hundred-mile rush in ancient times, why hasn't the news reached the place yet?"

He spent a few cents more and went to the county to shoot a telegram and asked his father and sister if they had any news in Qiantang.

But the answer is still no.

Gu Biao took care of her sister, paid attention to the gossip at all times, and was not afraid to spend money.

My sister was touched by his sincerity and agreed.

After a week, Gu Wei, who couldn't wait, asked the cardinal of the production team and the people from the Educated Youth Office to ask for leave, in the name of returning to his hometown to visit relatives.

……

The day Gu Biao returned home was October 11.

At noon the next day, he and his sister were the only ones at home, but my father didn't know where he got the news, so he rushed back home on his bicycle when he was at work.

"Ask someone you know about the relationship between the first machine department in the capital to get the document of the National WU Institute today, officially announcing the resumption of the college entrance examination!" Daddy spoke in a low voice.

Gu Min got up from the chair with a "bang" and looked at his younger brother with shocked eyes.

I was really gambled by my brother!

"Don't make a big deal! Go upstairs! The father patted his daughter and signaled not to make a fuss.

Gu Min also knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly went upstairs to lock the door, and did not forget to ask his father softly: "This...... It's not spying on state secrets, is it?"

Dad replied affirmatively: "No, the document of the Ministry of Education was passed and reported to the National WU Academy on September 25." It took more than ten days for the National WU Institute to review it, and it was officially issued as a red-headed document today.

Now it's just that the ordinary people can't see it yet. I heard that "Renren Daily" and Xinhua News Agency will not officially report on it for about another 10 days. ”

When Gu Biao heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My sister's first reaction was to ask him with concern: "Hey, have you suffered hardships in the countryside? Do they let you spend money to buy work? Now that the news is confirmed, don't delay your time to do farm work in the future, just review it with peace of mind."

If you didn't go to high school, you certainly can't do Chinese and politics. But I think you are good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, if you can really be admitted to a junior college, it will be regarded as our Gu family's glory ancestor. ”

Gu Biao was so annoyed by his sister's expectations that he couldn't cry or laugh: it turned out that in the eyes of his sister, he was only worthy of taking the junior college exam?

But who didn't make him go to high school seriously?

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get in. Sister, you can also study quietly. He reassured himself as he thought of a question.

Since Ma Feng has helped him so much before and after the saddle, now that the matter is approaching, with the inside information in advance, he should also talk to the other party.

He didn't think that Ma Feng's level of scumbag was also worthy of taking the college entrance examination, but he just felt that it was a good thing to persuade the other party to study immediately.

So, he rode his bicycle out and went to Ma's house to look for Ma Feng.

The parents of the Ma family were all there, and told him that Ma Feng was in the production team on the outskirts of the city, which was not far away, only 30 kilometers.

Gu Biao rode a bicycle to find it.

When he arrived at the production team, Ma Feng really didn't do a good job, but used the money to buy other people's top work points and do some speculative things himself.

Anyway, it's more lucrative than farming.

Seeing Gu Biao appear, he was still a little surprised.

"Brother Gu, why are you back? ”

"Let's talk to someone next to nobody. Gu Biao's very mysterious appearance made Ma Feng immediately nervous.

The two walked to a ridge, and there was no one to see within 100 meters of the surroundings, and Gu Biao gently confided: "The documents of the National WU Institute have come down, and they just came down today: the college entrance examination will be resumed, and this year's exam date is set for early December." However, "Renren Daily" will not report until the 21st, and in remote places, maybe it will get the news later. ”

Ma Feng was stunned all of a sudden.

Then he sighed heartily: "Brother Gu, you predicted it accurately! I followed you to bet on you, and I really didn't make a mistake!"

"What are you betting again?"
