Chapter 341 The College Entrance Examination and Li Hao's Entrance Banquet

While filling in the college entrance examination volunteer, we also conducted the college entrance examination pre-examination!

Many people may not know what the college entrance examination is, in the early eighties, the college entrance examination was officially included in the college admissions policy. The pre-selection method is to distribute the pre-selection number to each grass-roots middle school level by three to five times the number of students enrolled in each province, municipality and autonomous region according to the planned enrollment of the current year, and with reference to the fresh graduates and the admission situation of previous years. Then, according to the results of the high school graduation examination, combined with the usual results, the school will conduct a comprehensive assessment of morality, intelligence and physical fitness, and select the best to participate in the national unified college entrance examination.

At that time, the main reasons for the introduction of the college entrance examination pre-selection policy were that there were many candidates, few admissions, fierce competition, the heavy workload of the unified examination, the difficulty of detailed examination and marking work, and the phenomenon of cheating and score raising in the examination room continued to occur, which affected the accuracy of the college entrance examination results. The current admission method gives institutions of higher learning little room for choice, which affects the implementation of the principle of comprehensive assessment of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness, and merit-based admission.

The "Report on the 1981 National Conference on the Enrollment of Colleges and Universities" says: The pre-selection for the college entrance examination has solved the problems of a large number of candidates, an excessively large workload, and an excessively scattered examination room. And said, "This is a directional reform."

After 1981, in May and June every year, candidates who want to take the college entrance examination of that year must first register for the pre-selection examination.

For example, if a province plans to enroll 10,000 people, then the proportion of candidates who are eligible to take the college entrance examination is 5 times, there are 50,000 candidates to take the college entrance examination, if there are 80,000 high school graduates, then there are 30,000 candidates who are not eligible to take the college entrance examination, and if there are 100,000 high school graduates, 50,000 high school graduates are eliminated in advance. It was not until 1989, when the high school entrance examination system was gradually implemented, that the pre-selection for the college entrance examination disappeared.

In fact, there was only one criterion for secondary school pre-selection at that time: test scores. Pre-selection has intensified test-taking education. The cruelty of 10,000 people crossing the single-plank bridge was even more prominent when the college entrance examination pre-selection system was implemented.

Of course, there is no difficulty for Li Liang in the college entrance examination pre-examination, just like any monthly exam, his pre-examination score ranks first in the grade, which is a lot more than the score of Que Zhenpeng, who is second in the grade!

The students who did not pass the preliminary examination were divided into two parts. Some people want to continue to take next year's college entrance examination, and these people stay in school to continue their studies, while the other part of the people, almost all of them are students who are not willing or qualified to take next year's college entrance examination, and after taking the high school entrance examination and receiving their high school diplomas, they have packed their luggage and books and left the campus!

The students who left took away the memories of their youth, and the students who stayed did not have time to grieve the spring and autumn, everyone's thoughts were very consistent, some were for this year's college entrance examination sprint, and some were for next year's college entrance examination to prepare in advance!

Especially after the end of the high school entrance examination, Hekang No. 2 Middle School began to have holidays one after another, and the entire campus became empty. Every morning, when the sky is bright, Li Liang will go to the playground of Hekang No. 2 Middle School to run two laps.

In the past, the playground in the morning was full of energetic students. Some people run, some play football, some run and recite books, and some sit quietly on the edge of the playground lawn and read quietly.

Now, there are not many students like Li Liang who still insist on running in the morning, and most of the students sit on the playground with a book, or Chinese or English, and read aloud at the dawn of the day.

At the moment when the college entrance examination is coming, everyone is working hard and everyone is working hard to make the final preparations for the college entrance examination. Li Liang remembered that there was a famous saying in later generations, 'One more point in the test, and a thousand people will be killed'! This is indeed true, and many times, in the examination room, if you can take one or two more points, you can really decide a person's fate!

In Li Liang's memory, he remembered that in his previous life, when he was admitted to the technical secondary school, there was a classmate in the class who was not admitted to the secondary school because he missed one point. Later, after I went to high school, my grades did not keep up, and I was not admitted to college. After graduating from high school, his parents spent money everywhere to support his relationship and arranged him to work in a state-owned enterprise, but unfortunately he was a temporary worker. Later, when the state-owned enterprises declined, he had no choice but to be laid off! When he was old, he was still doing odd jobs everywhere to earn a meager income and subsidize his family.

And other students who had similar grades to that classmate back then were successfully admitted to the technical secondary school because they took a few more points. After graduating from secondary school, he was assigned to various government departments, and his life experiences were very different. Those of them who work in the unit actually don't have much to do every day, a newspaper and a cup of tea, they can spend day after day, year after year. The wind and frost of life can't blow their sideburns!

To get back to the point, the college entrance examination in 1983 was a little different from other years. Since 1979, the National College Entrance Examination has been held from July 7 to 9 every year and will last until 2002. Among them, there is only 1983, when the college entrance examination was held from July 13 to 15!

Two days before the college entrance examination, on July 11, Hekang No. 2 Middle School began to issue admission tickets to students. The arrangement of the examination room for the college entrance examination is different for everyone. Some students in the class were assigned to the examination room of No. 1 Middle School, while some students stayed in the examination room of No. 2 Middle School. Li Liang himself was assigned to the examination room of the second middle school!

On this day, the school did not ask everyone to stay in the classroom to review their homework, but asked everyone to move their books and other personal belongings from the classroom to the dormitory, and the school began to mobilize non-sophomore teachers and staff to arrange the examination room, paste the seat number and other work!

Li Liang also has a lot of things, he did not move to the teacher's dormitory where he lived, but used a bicycle to drive home!

"Son, why are you back, aren't you going to take the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow?" Wang Xiulan saw her son riding a bicycle, and the back seat of the car came back with a bag full of books, sweating profusely!

She hurriedly went to the house to get a dry towel and wiped her son's sweat!

Li Liang smiled and asked, "Mom, do you have watermelons at home?"

In summer, there is no cooler fruit than watermelon, and if there is, it must be chilled watermelon!

Li Liang's family does not have a refrigerator, but this does not prevent people from using their talents. Wang Xiulan is very smart, when they built a house, they drilled a pressurized water well on the first floor, and in the hot summer, the water pressed out of the pressurized well was cold and biting, which was just right for soaking watermelons!

Although Wang Xiulan didn't know that her son came back early, she also soaked a watermelon in advance. She took the soaked watermelon out of the water, cut it open and brought a piece to her son Li Liang to quench her son's thirst!

"Son, this is your grandfather's family!"

"When did Grandpa enter the city?" asked Li Liang.

"When he entered the city two days ago, he originally wanted to ask you how you did in the exam, but he heard that you still have two days to pass the exam, so he went back first! He said that he was going to enter the city tomorrow!" Wang Xiulan said.

Li Liang said: "Mom, the weather is so hot, you ask grandpa not to go into the city during this time, and when I finish the exam, I will go to the house to see him and grandma!"

Wang Xiulan smiled: "I persuaded you, but your grandfather didn't listen." He said that the eldest grandson took the college entrance examination, and he must come and see it!"

Sure enough, early in the morning of July 12, Li Liang's grandfather, Mr. Li Chengxi, rode a 28-bar to Li Liang's house. There are also two large frames tied to the back seat of his bicycle, one containing several large watermelons, and the other basket containing some pears and melons! Although the pears and melons grown by Li Liang's grandfather are not as delicious as those in Shashi Township, they still taste very good!

When Li Chengxi arrived home, Li Liang had just gotten up, ready to review the ancient poems of the Chinese language again!

He heard his grandfather shouting downstairs, and hurriedly ran out of his house on the second floor, ran to the staircase on the first floor, and unlocked the stairwell.

"Grandpa!"

"Eh!" Li Chengxi replied.

"Dad, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" asked Wang Xiulan.

Li Chengxi waved his hand and said, "When I was on the road just now, I ate two pear melons, and now I am not hungry." Xiulan, don't you prepare breakfast for me!"

Li Liang's father, Li Shuangzhu, also took a day off today to accompany his son to the examination room.

Although Li Liang was assigned to the examination room of No. 2 Middle School, Li Chengxi and Li Shuangzhu, father and son, were still not at ease, and they rode two bicycles with Li Liang to the campus of Hekang No. 2 Middle School again.

This year's campus has become different from the past. The campus is full of parents accompanying their children to see the examination room. According to the admission ticket issued to him, Li Liang said that the examination room he was assigned to was actually the classroom of the junior high school of Hekang No. 2 Middle School.

"Son, are you nervous?" asked Li Shuangzhu.

"It's okay, don't be nervous!" Li Liang smiled, "Dad, I'm also a person who has been tested in the examination room for a long time!"

Li Shuangzhu smiled: "Look at you!"

In the examination on 13 July, Li Shuangzhu and Li Chengxi personally sent Li Liang to the examination room of the No. 2 Middle School! This morning's examination is Chinese, which is Li Liang's specialty!

As soon as he entered the examination room, the moment he was searched by the examiner, Li Liang was a little nervous. But after the nervousness, he calmed down. Although he did not take the college entrance examination as a candidate in his previous life, after graduating from secondary school and becoming a teacher, Li Liang participated in many college entrance examination invigilations!

The three-day exam passed in a flash, Wang Xiulan deliberately handed over all the supermarket matters to the staff in the store in the past three days, she concentrated on preparing nutritious and delicious meals for her son, and prepared sufficient nutrition for her son's exam!

In the past few days of the exam, she also agreed with her husband and father-in-law Li Chengxi about the three chapters of the law, and agreed not to mention the exam at home. Regardless of whether your son is good or bad in the exam room, don't mention it, so as not to affect the next exam.

After the three-day college entrance examination, Li Liang's tense nerves finally relaxed!

He slept at home all day, and it was only in the evening that he regained his spirits. The first thing he did to recover his spirits, he pedaled his bicycle and ran to Chenchen's house.

Chenchen, like him, also slept at home all day, and when she heard the sound of Li Liang coming to the door, she got dressed from the bed and got up!

"How did you do in the exam?" the two asked in unison, and after asking, the two laughed out loud with a tacit understanding!

For dinner that day, Li Liang ate at Chenchen's house!

Li Liang's sister Li Meng married Chenchen's brother Zhang Meng, adding a family bond to the already close relationship between the Zhang and Li families, and Li Liang seemed very casual in the Zhang family!

This dinner, Huang Wenxin also ate at Zhang's house. He and Zhang Jia have been engaged in June, and the wedding is scheduled to be set on the National Day in October of the solar calendar!

Now the two are preparing their new house.

The new house of the two of them is a piece of land that Zhang Qingxiang also bought in Beimen Village, and the land was given by Zhang Qingxiang and his family as prospective parents-in-law.

Huang Wenxin is very good at doing it as an orthopedic surgeon, but he is not good at making houses. His parents in Shashi Township have to take care of his underage younger brothers and sisters in the township, and they can't go into the city to help; fortunately, Zhang Meng, a quasi-brother-in-law, works in Jian'an Company, Huang Wenxin only needs to go to the construction site every few days to take a look, and Zhang Meng will take care of everything!

Zhang Jia, who is engaged, is like any girl bathed in love, with happiness written on her face. In Li Liang's eyes, he secretly looked at Chenchen again, feeling a little impatient. But reason told him that it was not yet time to pierce the window paper, and that everything would have to wait until he went to college!

At that time, if he and Chenchen can both be admitted to these two universities in Yangcheng as they wish, then what is there to worry about and envy!

After eating, Zhang Qingxiang asked a few words about Li Liang and Chenchen's exams, but they didn't talk about it in detail!

Li Liang quietly told Chenchen that he would go back to his grandfather's house in the countryside in the next few days, and when he came back from his grandfather's house, he would come to the house to play with her!

Chenchen happened to be going to her grandmother's house.

Li Liang, who returned to his grandfather's house in the village with a bag of food on his back, happened to encounter another happy event at his grandfather's house. Cousin Li Hao's high school entrance examination results were released, and he was admitted to the high school of Hekang No. 1 Middle School. Li Liang's second uncle Li Shuangqi invited Li Liang's uncle and grandfather Li Chenghua to come to the house for dinner, preparing to hold a banquet for his son's advancement!

In the village of Grandpa Li Liang, few of the students in the village have been admitted to Hekang No. 1 Middle School and High School in recent years. And Li Chengxi's youngest son, Li Shuangyu, was admitted to Hekang No. 1 Middle School and High School back then, and then he was successfully admitted to Yat-sen University! Now, the younger generation of the Li family, Li Liang's grades are not to be said, and even Li Hao, who usually looks naughty and mischievous, has been admitted to Hekang No. 1 Middle School and High School. Such a situation, in the eyes of Mr. Li Chengxi, is a symbol of the prosperity of the family. Therefore, the second son Li Shuangqi wanted to hold a college banquet for his youngest grandson Li Hao in the village, and the old man Li Chengxi, who has always been thrifty, not only did not blame his son for being extravagant and wasteful, but agreed very much.

So Li Shuangqi invited his uncle, that is, Li Chenghua, the cousin of the old man Li Chengxi, to come to the house for dinner, and he wanted his uncle Li Chenghua to serve as the director of his son's college banquet!
