The Year (52)

December 10th, the day is Saturday. With the admission ticket, I lined up to enter an affiliated elementary school.

This classroom is really old-fashioned.

But what attracted my attention more was the candidates in this classroom. Some looked to be in their thirties, while others were only sixteen or seventeen. When I entered the examination room just now, I heard one candidate calling another candidate's teacher.

Lin Yutong and the fourth master are not in the same examination room. The fourth master sent Lin Yutong into the examination room before he left.

Lin Yutong took a deep breath. From 9 to 11 o'clock in the morning, the test is in politics, and from 1:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon, the test is in physics and chemistry. The two doors are combined, and it is also two hours.

In the morning, I will memorize the things and fill in them without missing half a word. Of course, if you really don't know the question, you don't dare not fill it in. It's called not caring about politics. So, she would excerpt from the memorized passages that were relevant to the topic. Don't write half a superfluous word.

Physics and chemistry are quite easy, simple, and the number of questions is small. After answering, I checked it twice, and then I handed in the paper.

But when I got to the outside of the classroom, I still didn't see the fourth master. Isn't he done yet?

Then she suddenly realized that with the temperament of the fourth master, she would definitely not be able to do anything to submit the papers in advance. He is serious and turtle-haired, and he will not come out until the bell rings.

Sure enough, he stood outside in the wind and snow and waited for nearly forty minutes, and as soon as the bell rang, the fourth master came out with the crowd.

Then, because of his unserious attitude, he was criticized.

"The lion fights the rabbit, and you have to do your best. After arriving home, the fourth master reprimanded. On the outside, he's generally good at saving face.

Lin Yutong almost said, 'I would like to lead the training'.

After a long time of guarantee, this is considered to be passed.

The two rested early in the evening, and the child slept in the main room.

The next morning, math first. Lin Yutong answered very smoothly, and when he finished writing, it took less than forty minutes. She checked it three times and felt like she was right. But he also insisted on not leaving the examination room. One is afraid that the fourth master will say her, and the other is that she feels cold outside. So I wandered in the examination room.

The invigilator looked at her back and forth several times, but Lin Yutong didn't notice it.

The fourth master praised her for persevering to the end. The two of them didn't go back to eat at noon, because the time was too rushed. Most people are holding steamed buns, nibbling on them to pass the lunch. While eating, I also held a book and read. The answer is basically not visible.

In front of the school, there is no place to eat, but there is a hospital here, and there is a cafeteria in the hospital. The two of them ran to the hospital as they did yesterday, bought a sick meal and survived.

In the afternoon, the Chinese language test was examined. This is also the last exam.

She sat in the exam room and took a deep breath. The questions are not difficult, but they are not easy either. It is not difficult to listen to the pronunciation and analyze the components of the sentence. Wenyan Wen Lin Yutong definitely didn't feel difficult for himself. The really difficult topic is the essay.

Composition – I've been fighting for a year.

This year, she has raised children. What else are you doing? You can't keep a parenting diary.

In the end, she still started from the perspective of a mother, from the night of the earthquake, giving birth to three children. After a catastrophe, he ushered in the beginning of a new life, and then slowly fell his eyes on the big jujube tree in the yard. The jujube tree, which has been precipitated for ten years, is full of vitality. Buds emerge in spring, flowers bloom in summer, and fruits are abundant in autumn. Then there are the old people lying in rocking chairs under the tree, the children playing in the yard, and the mother standing under the tree and looking up at the date tree.

Out of the examination room, the fourth master asked her, and she memorized the article she wrote.

The fourth master said yes. The jujube tree is used as a metaphor for the country's transformation, full of vitality, stability and peace.

It's not the best, if it's not the best.

When the two went home, the old man wanted to ask, but he didn't open his mouth. Life at home is still like that.

It was not until New Year's Day, in January, that the list of people who will be subject to physical examination and political examination was announced. No results were announced. No one knows how many points they scored. The name of the fourth master is a little bit ahead, and Lin Yutong is a little back. But I don't know if this is ranked by grades, or something else.

But if you can go to the next link, the results must have passed.

Next is the physical examination. One person takes a list. Lin Yutong's body must have no major problems, but what is embarrassing is that he has to be stripped naked during the surgical examination.

After coming out, the fourth master asked with a black face, "Is there a male doctor inside?"

Lin Yutong shook his head, that is called a hooligan, even if the male doctor is called, no one dares to go.

Seeing that the fourth master's face was better. Lin Yutong asked in hindsight, "Is there a female doctor over there?"

The fourth master nodded casually, and then said, "It's okay, don't look closely." ”

How do you look closely? I am not afraid of long needle eyes.

In fact, as soon as I entered, there were more than a dozen people together, and I just had to take a general look. But even so, it embarrasses these big men.

Finally, there is the form of the political examination.

The archives of these two intellectuals are conclusive, that is, they are from the working class.

At this time, the argument is not ingredientism. That is, you can't just look at the ingredients.

But again, one cannot fail to look at the ingredients.

After that, you will fill in the volunteer. All filled with B large. But professionally, at this time, there is no application guide. I don't know how to admit it. The quality of the grades, the score line, the blindness of both eyes.

So, the fourth master filled in physics for him and Lin Yutong for a creature.

At this time, the medical school had not yet been merged into the University of B. If you want to be in school, you have to give up.

Then at the end, I filled in the willingness to deploy the major.

For the fourth master, he is interested in all the majors here. It really doesn't matter what you're learning.

It seems that in his opinion, the future work should not be compatible with the major.

Lin Yutong acquiesced. If science could be transferred to liberal arts, she would rather study Chinese.

Chinese is a very popular profession in this era. The key is to be relaxed.

It was not until the 28th of the lunar month that two telegrams were received. The fourth master was admitted to the Department of Economics, while Lin Yutong was admitted to the Department of Mathematics.

This is a mixture that makes people completely confused.

But Lin Yutong is actually relieved, people who have studied high mathematics, learning it again, it is not so difficult.

Relaxed, how nice.

Anyway, in the words of the fourth master, if you do it well, you can give the child a relatively better family environment. Whether a family is doing well or not depends not only on whether it is materially rich, but also on its social status.

It's a great joy. Not only Yin Changtian was happy, but the Lin family was also very happy.

Only Second Sister Lin was a little sour, she used to think that it was good for her to find a worker, peasant and soldier college student. Now it's a bit of a bad taste.

But Lin Yutong received two telegrams, one was Bai Xiaomei's, hoping that he could pick her up. One is Captain Li, saying that Li Guofang is coming to the capital with his children.

According to the time, it should be the same train with Bai Xiaomei.

Li Guofang is coming, and she is still bringing her children. But the telegram came to him. So, what about Ge Hongbing?

Lin Yutong sighed, I hope she really hasn't regretted it.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yutong and the fourth master received three people.

Before he could speak, he led the people to the yard he had bought.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong asked when he saw that these people were all smiling reluctantly.

She looked at Li Guofang and waited for her to say.

Li Guofang put the child on the bed, and then smiled reluctantly: "Hongbing, she has been admitted to Agricultural University." I received the notice two days ago and went back to the capital. ”

"And then?" Lin Yutong asked.

"He was gone, and I found the money and food stamps he had left behind. Li Guofang said in a low voice, "I know that he won't come back." ”

Lin Yutong looked at Li Guofang, "Then what do you want?"

"Don't you want me and the child! Li Guofang's face was persistent, "I want to find their leader and fire him." Tell him to go back with me. ”

"And then?" Lin Yutong looked at Li Guofang, "Can he still live a good life with you?"

Li Guofang stopped talking. The girl who used to be strong is now haggard and out of shape.

Lin Yutong looked at the child on the bed who was only more than half a year old, and he really didn't know how he got over this way.

"You rest first. Let's talk about it slowly. Lin Yutong turned around and looked at Bai Xiaomei, who was wandering around the world with the child in her arms.

Bai Xiaomei didn't apply for the exam at all because of her child. But Cheng Hao was admitted and admitted to Normal University. But as soon as Cheng Hao left, what should Bai Xiaomei do with her children? It is not good to stay in the company, and when she arrives in the capital, her mother-in-law's family has no place to stay. Cheng Hao can still go to the school dormitory, but what about Bai Xiaomei?

"Where is he? Where do I and the child have to be? The family can't be separated!" Bai Xiaomei is very resolute and unquestionable in this matter.

Cheng Hao said indirectly: "You and the child are in the company first, and I have figured out a way here, can't I take you back again? Now that the company is not yet busy, you give me a month, let me think of a way." ”

"One month later, it will be two months, then it will be three months...... It's endless......" Bai Xiaomei looked down at the child, "I just slept on the road outside, and I have to guard it here, and I won't go anywhere." ”

Cheng Hao wiped a handful of tears, "Forget it, let's visit relatives." I'm not going to this university anymore. ”

Bai Xiaomei didn't speak, just looked at him.

Cheng Hao glared, "Okay! I thought about it on the way. Let's think of a way first, if there is really no way, forget it. I knew that my life had nothing to do with college. ”

It's all indescribable housework.

Lin Yutong placed the three of them in this small courtyard first, and the two women took the children to sleep in it. Cheng Hao can sleep outside on the floor.

The next day, when the fourth master and Lin Yutong packed up some food and sent it over, Bai Xiaomei left a letter and took the child back to the northeast.

Cheng Hao shook his head and said, "I'm just going home to see if I can let my family think of a way...... But her temper really doesn't wait for a moment. With that, he took his luggage.

"Who are you?" asked the fourth master.

"Go back to the company!" Cheng Hao smiled a little helplessly, "This university, let's wait for Cheng Gen to grow up, and then come back." In his life, he has no such blessing. ”

Cheng Hao gave up going to college and stayed by Bai Xiaomei and her children's side. Two years later, a letter was written that they had recruited workers to go to the arsenal in the northwest. Later, Cheng Gensheng was admitted to a university in Beijing and went abroad to study for a doctorate. Eventually, he returned to his parents and became a teacher at a university not far from home.
