Chapter 47: Skating Season

The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was officially announced at the end of October 1977, and the examination time was a month later.

So, most candidates only have one month to revise.

Moreover, the candidates did not have textbooks, and many of them used manuscripts.

Candidates who have access to the school will go around asking for relationships and let middle school teachers help with their homework.

A teacher like Bai Ce, who has a solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry, naturally can't escape.

There is a relationship between neighbors and neighbors, as well as a relationship entrusted by such powerful figures as County Magistrate Liu and Principal Chu.

In order to take care of Bai Ce, the school also deliberately reduced his classes, basically one or two classes in the afternoon, and with Principal Chu to greet him, Bai Ce could go home early.

Because there are a bunch of people waiting for him at home.

It just so happened that the house at the south end of the east chamber had been empty, and it had become a classroom for Bai Ce to teach young people in the college entrance examination.

More than a dozen classmates sat on the kang, Bai Ce stood on the ground, and a small blackboard hung on the wall, writing and drawing while talking.

Bai Ce teaches algebra and geometry, which is more complicated in the college entrance examination course, and it is really not enough to memorize by rote.

Bai Ce came back from class at three or four o'clock in the afternoon and started classes until nine o'clock in the evening.

More than a dozen classmates' dinners were settled at Bai's house.

Of course, they made up their part, and there was a classmate's mother who used the Bai family's stove to cook.

The six members of the Bai family also ate with them.

But that's about it.

Bai Ce does not charge any fees, not even any gifts.

Bai Ke even joked: "Dad, Confucius still collects a few strips of dried meat, so you can't collect something." ”

"So why bother. The fact that they can get into college is the best reward for me. ”

Since moving to a new home, Bai Ke has one more thought, that is, to observe his father's words.

In the previous life, although the cause of Bai Ce's sudden death was unknown, there was a precursor to this kind of thing.

Bai Ke couldn't stare at his father when he slept at night, so he could only pay attention to his condition.

After going to school for several weeks, one night at dinner, Bai Ke suddenly found that his father repeated an action from time to time, pressing his left chest with his hand.

Bai Ke suddenly became nervous: "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I don't. ”

"Does your chest feel a little uncomfortable, and it will be more comfortable when you press it?"

"yes, it's a little stuffy. ”

"Doesn't it feel like a rope is knotted and can't be stretched?"

"That's a bit of a thing, and from which magazine did you see that?"

Qin Yongmei was also a little nervous on the side: "Old man, you don't have heart disease, right?"

Bai Ce smiled: "No, the old man in my family does not have this inheritance, it is estimated that the lungs are not very good." ”

In the southwest, there used to be an endemic disease called tuberculosis.

Bai Ce also suffered from this disease when he was young, and although he was later cured, he still had scars on the lobes of his lungs.

"It's not a lung problem, you should be a little myocardial ischemia!" Bai Ke straightened his face like a little adult.

Qin Yongmei also hurriedly persuaded: "Old man, you should check and check." ”

"It's fine. Bai Ce still looked like he was nothing.

Bai Ke was anxious: "Why don't you an intellectual believe in science? Myocardial ischemia is easy to die suddenly!"

Qin Yongmei was taken aback: "Does sudden death mean that it is suddenly gone? I said, why have you been yelling about the low pillow these days? Old man, you should really pay attention." ”

Hearing what his mother said, Bai Ke became even more nervous: "That's right, it's myocardial ischemia! Dad, you can go for a check-up tomorrow, please take half a day off!"

Under the encouragement of the mother and son, Bai Ce had to agree to go to the hospital for a check-up the next day.

As a result, after the inspection the next day, it was a false alarm.

Bai Ce's chest tightness was actually caused by an upset stomach.

Despite this, under the coercion of Qin Yongmei and Bai Ke, Bai Ce also had to reduce the time in class.

Some courses even let Bai bin do it for you.

At present, Bai Bin is in the fourth year of middle school, and he will graduate in half a year.

The middle school courses are basically finished, and it is not a big problem to teach these big brothers and sisters, and you can take the opportunity to review and strengthen your own courses.

In fact, Bai Ke can also tutor, even slightly better than Bai Bin, because he was in the sixth grade of middle school in his previous life, and the curriculum must be rich and solid.

But a nine-year-old kid giving lessons to a group of uncles and aunts is really a bit demonic.

A week after Bai Ce's physical examination, the long-awaited college entrance examination finally began, and the Bai family's compound was suddenly cleaned.

The whole town also became quiet, and the goose feathers and snow fell at the right time.

How many families are looking forward to the title of the gold list of their children.

When they were on winter vacation, the results of the college entrance examination also came down.

Of the fifteen classmates led by Bai Ce, seven were admitted to university.

This proportion is already quite staggering, and most of the remaining those who did not take the exam are not good in other courses.

Qin Yongmei and Xiao Ni of their stock were also admitted, but they were buried by the big boss.

"You said that you were a kid who was admitted to college, and you said it clearly, sneaking around all day long, like being a thief. ”

In fact, Xiao Ni was sneaky, in addition to not wanting to delay his work, there was also a reason that he learned the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination relatively early.

Lao Luo said: "Ren Xiaoni was admitted to the School of Political Science and Law, and he will come back to be a policeman in the future." ”

Xiao Ni also hurriedly said: "Yes, I haven't been a policeman enough, but I still need some knowledge to arm my mind." ”

The big old black pouted: "Hmph, the more knowledge, the more reactionary it is." ”

Xiao Ni couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Yongmei smiled: "Lao Hei is joking with you, study hard, our industry is very knowledgeable." ”

***********************

1929 is not called nine, 3949 walks on ice.

With the arrival of winter vacation, it is also the season of ice skating.

Right now, the ice in Dawan is already a metre thick.

There are about 20 puddles in Dawan, three or four of which are relatively large and regular, and are most suitable for winter skating.

The end of '76 and the beginning of '77 were the first winters that the white family spent in the town.

At that time, the Bai Ke and his brothers had not yet fully adapted to life in the north and had not yet learned to enjoy the joy of winter.

It's January of '78 now, and Bai Zong and Bai Ke have to enjoy it.

If you want to skate, make an ice car.

These days, except for a few big kids from big cities, they can wear skates and make waves on the ice.

The vast majority of children can only play with ice cars that they have made themselves.

There are generally two types of ice trucks.

One is larger, with two skates underneath, and when skating, people sit on their knees or cross-legged on the ice car.

The other is a little smaller, with only two feet on it, squatting on top and only one skate blade underneath.

This small ice cart is difficult to balance, but it is fast and extremely agile.

It is played by a master skater, or someone with a little athletic talent.

The wooden frame of the ice car is easy to handle, a few wooden planks, four small wooden squares, and it is all over with one nail.

The hardest ice blades to get.

The blades should not be too thin or too sharp, otherwise the friction with the ice surface will be too great and they will not slide.

Of course, it can't be too thick, otherwise it won't be flexible enough.

Where can I get skates?

Baike knows a place - a scrap yard.

The scrapyard is a large unit and a paradise for children.

There are all kinds of books in the scrapyard, and even some books on the banned poisonous weeds.

Even during the college entrance examination, many of the books used by the candidates were found from the scrap yard.

In addition, there are a lot of discarded knives from factories, as well as a large number of scrapped ammunition.

Many children picked up bullets from here, broke them off, and got the gunpowder inside.

Someone accidentally even blew off their fingers.

In addition, there are a lot of scrap copper and iron at the scrap yard, which is a treasure trove for children.

Of course, to find the treasure from the pile of rubble, you can't enter through the gate, you have to climb over the wall.
