"Hey, you said that stupid Dazhu's daughter-in-law, will she take the college entrance examination?"

"Ouch! Don't you say that I forgot, Dazhu's daughter-in-law is arrogant at first glance, she has been married for so many years, and the baby has been born, and her temperament is still like when her sister-in-law was alone, if Dazhu hadn't accommodated her in everything, she would have been so comfortable in the Lin family? If she went to the college entrance examination and was admitted as a result, how could Dazhu be clean? No, I had to remind Dazhu that her mother must not let Dazhu's daughter-in-law take the college entrance examination......

"Let's go, I'll go with you!"

"I'll go too!"

A group of nosy women came to Lin's house.

As everyone knows, the Lin family has already made trouble.

Jiang Meihua knelt on the ground and begged her in-laws: "Father, mother, you just let me participate! Going to college is my lifelong dream, and if it weren't for the fact that there must be a child in my family who goes to the mountains and the countryside, I would have been a college student a long time ago." I can't usually do farm work at home, so what can I do if I don't study? I beg you to let me take the exam! It's my fate to fail the exam, what if I pass the exam? After I enter the factory, I can still earn some wages for my family every month, right?"

Old man Lin smoked a muffled cigarette and said nothing.

Zhang Juxiang couldn't help but be a little moved when she heard the salary. But when I thought about it, I thought that this daughter-in-law was originally obtained by cheating, and if she was admitted to a college in another place and never came back, what would it be like her? Dazhu looked like that, and it was really difficult to ask for another daughter-in-law.

Jiang Meihua peeked at her mother-in-law's face a little loose, and begged harder: "Dad, mother! I promise, after graduating from college, I will strive to be assigned to our county, as long as the work performance is outstanding, the factory will definitely give priority to the allocation of public housing, and then our family will not be able to move to the county to live? ”

Zhang Juxiang's eyes lit up, yes! Why didn't she expect that if someone in her family went to work in the county factory, she would have the opportunity to be a city person. Even if the two of them don't follow, the cow eggs are always the descendants of the workers, and the old Lin family can be turned into city people from now on!

As long as you remember, this is your home, Dazhu is your man, Niu Dan is your baby, and after graduation, you will be assigned to the county factory, and you will take Dazhu and Niu Dan to the city to enjoy the blessings, and your mother will support you to take the college entrance examination!"

"Thank you, mother!" Jiang Meihua's voice trembled excitedly.

The women who came to persuade looked at each other, since the old couple of the Lin family were relieved, what kind of wicked people did they come to do. Let's disperse!

Similar educated youths are like this, the educated youths are crying and howling, they all want to be admitted to the university, and they really made a fuss for a while, and it is unknown how many of them finally persuaded their families.

At Yingfang's house, Chun Mei came to report as soon as she received the news.

The face was flushed, like a big red apple during the autumn harvest.

Xiao Li poured her a cup of cold white water, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat stains: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

"Hey......

Looking at her niece with a silly face, Jiang Xinrou turned her face away, she couldn't see it.

"Aunt, my cousin must have taken the college entrance examination, right?I, I want to follow her to review and review ......" Chun Mei stammered to explain her intentions, and peeked at Xiao Li from the corner of her eye from time to time. for fear that he would object.

The wedding date of the two is set for the beginning of next month, and if it is early, the college entrance examination will be taken at the end of next month, which means that after the marriage, they will go to the examination room, and once they are admitted to the next year, they will go to university in other places. How do you think about it, how can you not stand Xiao Li.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Li rubbed her head dotingly: "If you want to take the test, I'll accompany you." ”

If you were against it, you would have been against it a few months ago. I've been reviewing this for so long, and I still haven't figured it out.

"Yes, yes, you can participate. Chun Mei's eyes lit up.

Xiao Li scratched his head: "That's not what I'm talking about." Well, I didn't go to junior high school, and I can't get into college. ”

Jiang Xinrou took over: "What Xiao Li means is that if you are admitted, he will go to the city where you studied to accompany you." The old man will arrange the job, he has been by the old man's side for so many years, can this benefit be given?"

Xiao Li said embarrassedly: "It's just that I'm very sorry for the chief." "I used to say that I would always accompany the chief.

The old man waved his hand: "There are so many people around me, how can I need you to accompany me." You live with Chunmei and Meimei, come and see me when you have time, and I will be very satisfied with the old man. ”

"Thank you, grandpa!" Chun Mei bowed deeply to the old man with a red face.

The old man laughed happily: "Okay, well, I got a well-behaved granddaughter for nothing." Let's review it well, and strive to go to Kyoto with the good girl, aren't we still together!"

"Hey!" replied Chun Mei happily.

Now there is no need to lure Chun Mei to read the book, Ying Fang took out a set of review materials brought by her father from Kyoto, and handed it to Chun Mei with a smile: "Come, Chun Mei, review this set first, review it step by step, and pick it out if you don't understand and ask me." ”

"But cousin, you gave me this set of materials, what are you reviewing yourself?"

"Silly girl, we don't all take the same subjects, and yours is for liberal arts students. Yingfang said.

One of her and Yanzi wanted to be admitted to the Military Medical University, and the other was a local health school, so they both applied for science.

The difference between liberal arts and science is that in addition to the three basic courses, namely politics, Chinese, and mathematics, liberal arts students also have to take geography and history, while science students do not take history and geography, but physics and chemistry. Of course, if you are applying for a foreign language major, you also have to take a foreign language test.

In Yingfang's opinion, that foreign language is simply an alien language. Luckily, she didn't have to. This is because medical schools do not have foreign language requirements.

Ying Fang circled her homemade calendar, "Can you read the political, Chinese, and math questions in your set of materials on the eighth of next month?" It is better to prepare well for the basic subjects. ”

"Good. "Chun Mei has no opinion.

"You'll live here from tonight, don't go back to Zhiqing Station. Yingfang has a plan for Chunmei, "The West Wing has been cleaned up for you, let's study according to the plan from tomorrow, my father will help you ask for leave from the work in the field, since you have to take the exam, let's take the exam well and strive to go to a good university." ”

Chun Mei thought that the educated youth station was frantically looking for books and borrowing books to prepare for the college entrance examination, and it was okay not to go back, the province was chaotic, and she couldn't calm down to review. So he nodded and had no opinion.

"Swallows will also come over to review together during the day, and when they encounter any problems, we will discuss them together. ”

"Good. ”

After getting rid of Chunmei, Yingfang sorted out a set of old high school textbooks that she had learned and marked with notes in the previous months, and asked Xiao Li to go to the county seat and give it to the old man's house.

The old man's sons are said to have gone to high school.

"Brother Xiao Li, you convey the general spirit of the document to them, there are no restrictions on this college entrance examination, no matter what composition people are, they can participate. ”

Superfluous words, Yingfang didn't say. I believe that the old man's family can understand. Such a good opportunity to whitewash ingredients will definitely be seized.

Sure enough, Xiao Li came back and said, "They are very grateful to you, and in the next month, the three brothers are ready to study hard." I'll thank you when I'm done with the exam. ”

At that time, a letter also came from the grandmother's house in the coal city, saying that the uncle heard her say that the college entrance examination was going to resume in the last letter, so he buried his head in reading hard.

For this reason, my aunt made her a pair of fashionable mille-feuille shoes, and it was difficult to express her gratitude in a thousand words. And I wish her all the best in her exams.

The shoes are meticulously made, and the size is also very fitting, and Yingfang is reluctant to take them off when she wears them. As a token of appreciation, I sent a pack of dried small fish dried by trash fish in the creek and dried mushrooms this year.

As a token of gratitude, the nephews and uncles sent packages back and forth, leaving the relatives on both sides speechless for a while.

Looking at the commune again, after the news of the college entrance examination was released, it was not as noisy as before.

The educated youths went into hiding to study, and they said they wouldn't do the work in the fields. Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming soon, this kind of behavior of lifting the burden at a critical moment makes many people unaccustomed to it.

"It's as if everyone can get in, look at it! When the results come down, if they don't get in, what will happen to them in the New Year! Look down on this little work, and they will have to suffer when they look back. There was no food to eat in the last spring, so don't come to us to cry. ”

Most of the complaints are because no one in the family has taken the college entrance examination. If there is, how can there be such idle time to complain, it is too late to go home and cook for the children who are immersed in revision.

In addition, you must always get some nutrients for your children, you can't afford to eat meat, and you can catch some yellow eels and loaches.

As a result, at night you can see people carrying oil lamps and placing cages on the banks of the rivers in the fields.

The farm work that originally belonged to their children was also taken over, and they couldn't wait for one person to use two people.

Yingfang, Chunmei, and Yanzi set up a three-person study group to study and discuss together, and urge each other to move forward.

It's just that Yanzi has to work in the health center during the day, and he still has bear children by his side, so he doesn't have much time to calm down and study. Yingfang found her a few science papers for the college entrance examination ten years ago, and asked her to brush the questions when she was not busy at work, and then recite the content that needs to be memorized at night when the children are asleep and people are quiet.

She and Chun Mei are relatively much more relaxed, they can almost spare five or six hours to review during the day, they have good energy in the morning, mainly memorize and memorize, and they are easily tired in the afternoon, so they find some topics to do, and then correct each other.

The triplets started preschool in September this year, which gave Yingfang a lot of free time.

However, I was afraid that I would have less time with them and cause dissatisfaction with the children, so I sent them to school after lunch every day, and played with them for two hours after dinner. When the weather is good, I take them to the barn floor for a walk, and when it rains or the wind blows, they soak their feet at home and tell stories.

The triplets would also tell her interesting stories about what happened at school during the day.

The relationship between the four mothers not only did not dilute, but became more intimate.

Xiang Gang led his team out throughout October -- at the beginning of the month, he went to Kyoto to participate in the annual military parade on behalf of the field team of the X Provincial Military Region; in the middle of the month, he held a drill competition with his brother troops, and in the second half of the month, there was a seven-day special training program for air combat.

The matter of seventy-seven-eighty-eight is lined up, and it will not be back until mid-to-late November at the earliest.

However, before returning to the provincial capital after the military parade in Kyoto, he sent a package to his home, and sent a stack of internal affairs reference newspapers with a small circulation to Yingfang, saying that it would help him to take the political subject exam, and he also sent a heroic fountain pen that was awarded to him by the military department, jokingly saying that he would be able to get good results in the examination if he used this pen to take the exam.

For this reason, Xiao Sanye was also jealous, saying, "There are mountains of review materials for exam preparation, where do you need his pile of internal affairs reference newspapers." If the hero pen can get good grades, the stationery counter in the department store will be overcrowded, and the warehouse of the pen factory will be cleared......"

Jiang Xinrou smiled and pierced him: "Isn't it because Xiao Xiang sent this and that to the obedient girl, but didn't send you some cigarettes, wine and tea for your son-in-law's filial piety, so you were jealous? ”

"Cut, Lao Tzu is rare for those things? Xiao Sanye arrogantly turned his head away.

Ying Fang finished reading the letter that Xiang Gang had just sandwiched in the package, and said with a smile: "Dad, he said in the letter that he was not allowed to go out in Kyoto for a few days, and he couldn't buy anything inside, so he didn't send it to you." The current political newspaper was given by one of Xia Lao's subordinates, and the fountain pen was the prize he won...... He also said that when I returned to X Province and went to Ning City for training, I would bring you and your grandfather some local products from that side back......"

Xiao Sanye waved his hand: "I said no." ”

"Your dad is hard-mouthed, and his heart has long been happy, maybe starting tomorrow, he will ride a bicycle across the bridge every day and wait for the package notice at the door of the post office. Jiang Xin teased softly.

Xiao Sanye said that he couldn't help the two of them, and turned his head to find the triplets: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to roll the hoop!"

"Flutter-" The two looked at each other and smiled.

"What else did Xiao Xiang say? I read that there were several pages written. ”

"Said that there was an assignment after the year, and the time would be longer, and the boss sympathized with him, and gave him a month off a year ago, and asked me if I wanted to go to my grandmother's house in Coal City. Yingfang said.

"That's okay, it's better to wait until you finish the exam, and take the triplets to the coal city to see their grandmother, uncles and uncles, and by the way, they will have a long experience. Is it okay for the two of you to take three babies out of the house?" Jiang Xinrou couldn't help but worry, "Why don't I go with you?" yes, pull your dad on too. When we arrived in Coal City, your father and I stayed in a guest house, and we said that we had something else to do, so we didn't come to the door. ”

This shouldn't make Grandma Lu's family embarrassed, right?

In these years, no one's food is rich, and a large number of people come to the door, and they go for ten days and half a month, and they don't know why the main family will break the bank. She couldn't do that kind of thing.

But what if you go to the local area and live in a guest house and don't come to the door? The two of them walked around the coal city, mainly to help take care of the baby eggs on the round-trip trip, and the more Jiang Xinrou thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was feasible.

Ying Fang said: "Mom, if you're just worried that we won't be able to take the baby eggs, there's no need to make a special trip." In the past, the children were small, and the two people who had to carry them on their backs couldn't carry them, but now that they are older, they can just lead them away. If you and Dad are interested in going to the coal city to play, then let's go together. I don't know what guest house to live in, grandma said in the letter, I built two new kangs for us, you and dad will go back, and Brother Gangzi and I will take one triplets, and the crowd will pass. As for the rations, there are a lot of us, so we just have to carry some on our backs. ”
