1997 was the first year of the reform of the enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities.

This reform is of great significance, in the final analysis, the reform of the parallel enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities is two things, the first is that the state no longer allocates college graduates, and implements the employment method of "supply and demand meeting" and "two-way choice", since then the distribution of college graduates has gradually become history, and the second is that universities have begun to charge a certain amount of tuition, which requires students and their parents to bear the cost of studying.

The tuition fees of key universities, as well as the tuition fees of one and two books, are not very high, that is, more than 1,000 yuan, less than 2,000 yuan, but the fees of three colleges and universities are relatively high, the highest is close to 10,000 yuan, and the low ones are more than 5,000 yuan.

But there is another expense that can not be ignored, that is, accommodation and living expenses, but also students to bear their own expenses, the former college students, the state provides a different amount of living expenses every month, in various forms to the hands of students, can ensure the basic life, but from the beginning of the year of the enrollment reform of colleges and universities, living expenses and accommodation fees are paid by students out of their own pockets.

The only exception to this is the normal colleges, which continue to enjoy the subsidy.

The steps of the merger enrollment reform are very fast, so that many poor students in rural areas cannot enter the university because they can't make up the tuition fees, and they have wasted the opportunity in vain, and some scholarships have appeared in the university, but the scholarships at this time are different from the later scholarships, most of them are of a directional nature, that is, the scholarships set up by enterprises, institutions and employers, and college students have received these scholarships, and they must enter the fixed enterprises, institutions and employers for employment after graduation.

In the early stage of reform, there will always be some deviations of one kind or another, and there will also be a process of gradual improvement.

Liao Fanmin was aware of these changes, but he had long been used to them.

Time passed day by day, Liao Fanmin had a lot of ideas, and even thought about learning a driver's license, but these plans were rejected one by one, and it was still an unrealistic dream for them, an ordinary family, to own a car.

It's July 18th.

The scores of the college entrance examination can already be queried.

Early in the morning, Liao Fanmin got up, after washing, he was ready to go to the admissions office of the Education Commission to check his college entrance examination scores, but this requires a process, today is the first day of the college entrance examination to check the scores, and it is also Friday.

After breakfast, everything was ready, it was already half past eight.

Liao Fanyao insisted on going with him to the admissions office of the Education Commission to check the scores.

Liao Zexi is also ready, anyway, the Admissions Office of the Education Commission will not start checking the scores until half past eight, and it will be too late to set off at half past eight, Xu Wenqing will not go to the Admissions Office today, waiting for Liao Fanmin's news at home.

When I opened the door and was about to leave, the phone rang in the living room.

Today is a special day, who will call so early.

Almost without hesitation, Liao Fanmin walked quickly to the telephone and picked up the receiver.

For a long time, Liao Fanmin has been quite emotional, he really needs a mobile phone, but it is not possible now, today's mobile phone is called big brother, the price is often tens of thousands of yuan, and ordinary people can't afford it.

For Liao Fanmin, mobile phones are still a luxury.

"Hey, I'm Liao Fanmin... You're Aunt Zhou, hello, what's the matter... ”

Soon, Liao Fanmin's body began to tremble, and he waved his hand to ask Liao Fanyao to bring paper and pen.

"Wait a minute, I'll give you the admission ticket number... ”

A series of numbers passed, and soon, Liao Fanmin began to write on paper.

"You speak slowly, Chinese, 127 points, mathematics, 141 points, English, 141 points, geography, 80 points, politics, 66 points, history, 70 points, total score, 625 points, thank you, what is Jia Tianxing's score... 612 points, Auntie, that's congratulations... Okay, I'll pay attention, go to the admissions office today and ask... ”

The scores that have just been reported are already written on the paper: Chinese: 127 points, Mathematics: 141 points, English: 141 points, Geography: 80 points, Politics: 66 points, History: 70 points.

This score is not very different from the previously estimated score, but it is higher than the estimated score.

Liao Zexi had already walked over, picked up the white paper with the score written on it, and had a comfortable smile on his face.

Xu Wen stood over early in the morning and looked at the scores written down.

"Mom and Dad, it was Aunt Zhou who called, and she found my score from the computer of the Fandu Education Commission. ”

Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing looked at Liao Fanmin and didn't speak for a while.

Liao Fanyao, who was on the side, spoke first.

"Brother, you are so amazing, 625 points, such a high score, there is no problem with Nanhua University, and there is no problem with Renmin University, if you can modify your will, I really want you to go to the National People's Congress... ”

Liao Zexi put down the bag in his hand.

"Xiaomin, let's go, I'll follow you to the admissions office of the Education Commission, I listened to the director in the office yesterday, and at the same time as the scores came out, the admission score line of the university also came out, I went to ask what the admission score of the University of South China was... ”

In fact, there is no need to ask at all, the admission score of the University of South China cannot exceed 620 points in any case, and the reason why Liao Zexi wants to go to the admissions office of the Education Commission is nothing more than to feel the joyful atmosphere.

Xu Wenqing also uncovered the apron on his body.

"Well, I'll go and see it too. ”

The family went to the admissions office of the Municipal Education Commission, which made Liao Fanmin a little helpless.

The Admissions Office of the Municipal Education Commission is on the third floor of the Office Building of the Education Commission.

The hallways were full of people, and there were several parents in front of and behind each student.

Before leaving home, Liao Zexi made a special phone call to the deputy director of the Municipal Education Commission, this deputy director was Liao Zexi's comrade-in-arms, and when he went upstairs, Liao Zexi went directly to the deputy director's office to knock on the door.

Soon, the deputy director came out of the office and invited Liao Zexi and others to enter his office with a smile.

A female comrade entered the office, and the deputy director handed the female comrade the admission ticket number copied by Liao Fanmin, and asked her to go to the admissions office to help check the scores, and at the same time asked the female comrade to ask about the admission score of the University of South China.

When the deputy director of the Education Commission looked at Liao Fanmin, there was a look of appreciation in his eyes, he was able to be admitted to the University of South China, and the results were definitely not ordinary, and the number of candidates in Xuanming City who dared to apply for the University of South China was not large, and there would not be more than ten people.

In less than ten minutes, the lesbian entered the office with an envious look on her face.

"The total score is 625 points, and the scores of each course are copied, and the admission score of the University of South China is 610 points... ”

The deputy director of the Education Commission immediately stood up and walked in front of Liao Zexi.

"Lao Liao, Sister Xu, congratulations, I have heard that your children are very good at reading, it seems that we are going to prepare a congratulatory gift, you must pick me up... ”

Liao Zexi and his entourage walked out of the deputy director's office.

Many parents in the corridor quickly cast envious eyes, probably the female comrade of the education committee just now, who revealed Liao Fanmin's test scores.

Several parents who knew Liao Zexi crowded over to ask about the score, and when they learned that Liao Fanmin's total score was 625 points in liberal arts, bursts of congratulatory voices came.

Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing both had smiles on their faces.

Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao squeezed out of the corridor and had already gone downstairs to the Education Commission.

"Brother, congratulations, I'm waiting for the admission letter from the University of South China. ”

"Sister, in two years, if you are admitted to BJ University, the sensation will be even greater. ”

"I must work hard, I almost burst into tears when I saw my parents' smiles. ”

After waiting for a full fifteen minutes, Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing went downstairs.

The two of them had proud smiles on their faces.

Seeing Liao Fanmin waiting outside, Liao Zexi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Son, yes, I did well in the exam, what reward do you want, your mother and I agree, just upstairs, several parents have said, you go to the University of South China to study, you must be equipped with a pager, we will buy you one before going to school, go to the university, you do need a pager, and call us often... ”

On the way home, Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing discussed in a low voice.

Liao Zexi faintly heard that his parents were discussing the matter of running the school wine and the teacher appreciation banquet, now that the scores have come out, the admission score line of the University of South China has also come out, and the rest is to consider the banquet.

The banquet must be set in the hotel, and it needs to be booked in advance, after the college entrance examination every year, there are many banquets and thank-you banquets, if you can't book in advance, you often can't find a place.

There are some unexpected factors in the admission of the college entrance examination, or it is greasy, but Liao Fanmin's score is 15 points higher than the admission score line, and there is no need to consider the issue of admission at all.

is Jia Tianxing, whose score is a little dangerous, 612 points, only two points beyond the admission score line, and it is very likely to be squeezed down.

However, Liao Fanmin knows that Jia Tianxing must have no problem, after all, the relationship between his parents is not ordinary, as long as he is on the score line, he will definitely be able to enter the University of South China to study.

The admission notice of key universities is generally mailed after the 20th, BJ University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University and South China University and other key universities, the admission notice is the earliest, and the University of South China is a university in Jianghan Province, and the admission notice arrives earlier.

According to Liao Fanmin's prediction, around the 25th, he will be able to receive the admission letter.

Liao Fanmin suddenly thought of Xue Chuling and Cheng Yahui, I don't know what the scores of these two people are, whether Xue Chuling went to BJ University, and whether Cheng Yahui can be admitted to the University of South China.

Liao Zexi went to work with excitement, Xu Wenqing went to buy vegetables with a vegetable basket, leaving Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao at home, Liao Fanyao began to continue to do homework, and Liao Fanmin entered the bedroom.

After being reborn, the first task was successfully completed, and I was about to go to the law department of the University of South China to study, so what should I do next, the management of the university is relatively loose, and I have a lot of leisure time, so I should do some other things.
