For the college entrance examination that can change the fate, the most nervous people are the candidates and their parents, like Li Jiaming, others are nothing more than to join in the fun, and after the college entrance examination, take the younger siblings back to prepare for the final exam.

For three days, the Li Jiaren brothers seemed to be two thinking robots, and immediately after the exam, they memorized the exam questions they were not sure about and handed them to their fourth brother, and then returned to the room to rest without asking for answers, and did not come out until dinner

。 With the experience of failing once, coupled with Li Jiaming's repeated reminders, they already know very well in their hearts that if the test papers are handed in, it has nothing to do with them, the key is the next exam.

Li Chuanjian and his wife were as nervous as they were, but they knew that they couldn't help with this, so even if they were nervous, they pretended to be relaxed, and waited for the eldest son and second son to rest, and then rushed to the fourth son's room to ask what was going on.

"Well, half and half."

"Well, I guess the math score will be a little worse."

Li Jiaming, who has 'self-taught' high school courses, will also ponder those topics that the eldest brother and second brother are not sure of, and will smack his tongue after pondering, and the college entrance examination this year is more difficult than he remembers. If you let yourself take the exam, maybe you won't even be able to pass the teacher's college, let alone surpass Tsinghua University and Peking University like the fourth brother's monster.

Also, in the early 90s, the college entrance examination was not just a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops? However, the candidates in the past few years are also the best, as long as they are admitted to a genuine university, as long as they are willing to graduate, a large number of administrative organs and institutions will be selected by them, and they can also catch up with the tail of welfare housing.

"Hey"

The aunt's lamentation and sigh attracted Li Jiaming's joke, "Auntie, don't listen to the fourth brother's nonsense (nonsense), there is no one with good grades in his mouth." I see, the eldest brother and the second brother have no problem taking the university entrance examination this time, at most it is a question of whether the university is good or not! ”

"Really?"

The old couple replied to Li Jiaming, but their eyes looked at the fourth son, for fear that he would shake his head and deny it. The nephew is a genius, but he can only get a full score in the high school entrance examination, and he has to wait for the Chinese New Year to talk about the college entrance examination.

In the past two years, things in the family have been one after another, and people will only be truly mature if they have experience, and the precocious Li Jiade saw that his parents were anxious, and hurriedly echoed his cousin: "Well, Jiaming is right, I estimate that it is difficult for the eldest brother and second brother to get on the famous brand, and there should be no problem with the undergraduate." When the test is finished in the afternoon, I will confirm the answer with them again, and the score should be estimated. ”

Stay up, wait until the exam is over in the afternoon, and the Li Jiaren brothers, who have been holding back for three days, came home to finish the answers, and looked at their fourth brother hopefully, and the uncles who rushed back from the construction site and the store in advance to have dinner also stared at Li Jiade, and everyone finally got his nod.

"Well, if there are no major mistakes, the eldest brother and second brother should be between five hundred and thirty to five hundred and fifty points, referring to last year's score line, it is estimated that they are above and below the key admission line."

The Ancestral Bodhisattva has appeared!

Although she had a premonition, the aunt still trembled and said: "Jiajiade, do you mean that the eldest and second concubines can pass the exam?" ”

"Hmm!"

A moment later, Li Chuanjian and his wife, who had suffered for 20 years, hugged their heads and cried, and even Li Chuanmeng and his brothers burst into tears.

It's been thirty years, and the Li family has finally come out of college students! In the future, when I go underground, I can also give an explanation to my father-in-law and Yeye (third uncle)! Thirty years ago, the scene of Ye Ye (the third uncle) kneeling on the ancestral tomb mountain and swearing to the sky seemed to be just yesterday!

It is difficult for people with big surnames to understand the suffering of small families, just like when Manmei tried to explain to Zhang Shaolong, who is wealthy, why fat meat is better than lean meat.

More than 30 years ago, when the government built a reservoir, other families only needed a man to do volunteer work, but the Li family had to be an adult male, even a girl who had just become an adult. When the package arrived at the household, if it weren't for the fact that the brothers all married local wives, each of them had the support of their mother's family, and there were six martyrs in the family, I am afraid that some of their land would have to be handed over.

Now it's okay, there are finally two real scholars in the family, and they will definitely serve the country's jobs in the future, and the Li family no longer has to worry about the recurrence of the tragic events of the past 30 years.

That night, the seven uncles raised their glasses again and again, saying that they would have to pay respects to their ancestors when the notice arrived. Under the persecution of adults, the Li Jiaren brothers, who were under pressure, were drunk, and they were so drunk that they drank for the first time in their lives, and they were drunk like this, which is also a great blessing in life.

"Chuanjian, the eldest and second are not good, let them drink more in the future

。 In today's society, you can't drink alcohol! ”

"That's right, I have to let them exercise in the past four years, and they have to drink at least half a catty and eight taels, and they won't suffer losses when they work in the future!"

Li Chuanlin, who came back from the factory and waited for the good news, filled everyone up again, and echoed: "Yes, when you come back from doing things in the future, you have to let them drink more wine, and you have to practice this thing!" Why don't you drink now? ”

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Li Chuanjian, who usually deals with leaders and bosses, was so drunk that he said again and again: "Yes, yes, I will practice more in the future, which one of the leaders is not the amount of catties now?" Mao Tong and Sanyan, help them go to sleep, don't delay us to drink. ”

"Hey", Li Chuanjian used to order not to move the hair, but now he can be moved, and he can make him willing.

This is the answer to that sentence - home and everything is prosperous!

After all, adults are adults, even if there is a big happy event in the family, the seven uncles are not drunk, and after celebrating the happy happiness of the two nephews, they are still in the mood to call Li Jiaming over to discuss their coming to the county seat to study.

In the past, there was no way for Da Yan and Er Yan to study in No. 2 Middle School, who made Chuanjian unable to make money and couldn't afford to study in a key bargaining high school? Now that there is money in the house, Director Liu also agreed to help, as long as this guy nods, several guys and girls can go to the second middle school and a small class. The teaching conditions in the county are much better than those in Chongxiang, and they can all get so good grades in Chongxiang, wouldn't it be better to study in the county?

But even if Director Liu said that this guy would definitely agree, Li Chuanmeng, who was in the middle of drinking, patiently persuaded him. There's no way, this nephew is too stubborn.

"Jiaming, uncle and uncle endure hardships to make money, isn't it so that you can have a profit? Chuanjian even found a house, the fund-raising house of the Agricultural Bureau, 37,000 sets, and it was quiet and next to the park and not far from the school. If you are willing to come to the county to study, we will buy two houses and come down, and all your students and sisters will go to live there.

Jiaming, Uncle Chuanmeng is not worried about your level, you can now learn high school content by yourself, and the level will definitely be higher than our primary school teachers in Chongxiang, but the teachers and conditions in the county are really better than our countryside. Coming to the county to study, not only is it convenient for you to ask teachers or family virtues if you don't understand, but also for other younger siblings to see the world, what do you think? ”

They also looked at the hairy stone and the fine dog, how good it is to be able to come to the county to study, not to mention that the conditions are better, and even the usual play is much more fun. Whether it was in the past or now, Li Jiaming definitely didn't want to come, but a few days ago, Director Liu happily told him that there was a shortage of art teachers in the county, and Principal Wang recommended Teacher Huang Xiuzhen from Chongxiang Primary School, and asked him how the level of Teacher Huang was.

How do you listen to the deputy director of a forestry bureau who cares about the level of an art teacher in a rural primary school? In the eyes of adults, those who are officials have the means, Jiaming is a man with thin arms and legs, no matter how capable he is, he can still be too powerful Director Liu and Master Hu?

It's a pity that people, including Mr. Liu, underestimated Li Jiaming's stubbornness. Learning is their own business, the teacher is at most to supervise and answer questions, their own level should be higher than a small teacher, even worse than the junior high school teacher in the second middle school, why come to the county to study?

Of course, Teacher Liu moved his wrist and transferred Teacher Huang to a primary school, Li Jiaming had no way to reverse this matter, so he could only let his little sister come to the county seat to study, and as for himself, he would be insensitive to thank him. It doesn't matter if the little sister followed her aunt to the county seat, she is not better than herself, she has feelings for her aunt, unlike herself who just respects each other, and even sometimes feels embarrassed together.

"Uncle Chuanmeng, I'm not coming. It's good in the house, it's quiet, I don't have a teacher now, and I don't want to come to the county seat to study. ”

This guy is stubborn, Li Chuanmeng has no choice but to look at his genius nephew, hoping that he will also be a genius to persuade him. Unexpectedly, Li Chuanjian, who was sitting next to him, stepped on him under the table and gave his son another look.

Knowing that his son is not as good as his father, Li Chuanlin, who wants his son to come to the county to study, also gave up persuasion, his son is stubborn, the last time he got married, although he didn't look for him, he could guess that he stayed in front of his mother's grave. There are some things, since he doesn't want to, then forget it, Ming Yan is not Wenwen, he is already sensible.

Li Chuanlin could think of something, Li Chuanmeng, who had been kicked by his cousin on his foot and was reminded, could guess seven or eight points, sighed secretly and began to assign work to everyone: "Jiaming, when the holiday is over, you brothers will go down the mountain, and Jiaren Jiayi will wait for the notice in the county."

。 Father-in-law, uncle, and elder brother must all level their worship flats, drag a few bags of cement to paint, and you will go back to help for a few days. This time there is a big happy event in the family, and the uncle over there may come over to Xiushui, we can't lose face, you know? ”

This is the right thing, except for weddings and funerals, the relatives over there in Xiushui have no contact with this side. This time, the eldest and second men won glory for the family, in addition to worshipping their ancestors, they also had to go to the ancestral hall over there to report the good news. These things can't be sloppy, and it's this kind of face that rural people are fighting for! When my father-in-law and mother-in-law came over with the burden of groceries, the people here have always been looked down upon by those over there.

Li Chuanzong promised repeatedly: "Hey, as soon as Jiaming and them have a holiday, I will go back immediately." Don't worry about the things in the house, wait for Jiaren Jiayi to come back when he gets the admission letter, and we will set up a flowing water seat! ”

Li Chuanzong promised very well, but Li Chuanmeng was not at ease, the things in the house were easy to do, and he went to repair the water and open the ancestral hall to report the good news, but his brother couldn't handle it.

"No, no, you can't do it alone. In this way, Chuanjian, as soon as the admission notice arrives, you will put down the things in the store first, and go back to work on the things in the house and go to repair the water to report the good news! ”

Li Chuanjian, who has a calm temperament, hurriedly stopped, Xiushui, who is at the peak of his literary style, is no better than the remote Xiaotonggu, and the eldest son and second son were not admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, how can they go to the ancestral hall to report the good news and let those snobbish families see jokes?

"Yes, there are people over there who take the university entrance examination every year, and I haven't heard of any family inviting us to drink."

After being reminded by Li Chuanjian, the brothers no longer mentioned the good news in the Xiushui ancestral hall, saying that 'there are no three generations of relatives, and the family has ten thousand years', but there are also injustices in the family. Back then, the prince said that it was the same ancient time to avoid military disasters, but why didn't his uncles, brothers, and clansmen hide? In the big family, there are a lot of messy things, if it weren't for the poverty of the family before, Li Chuanmeng and they wouldn't want to go back to their hometown to learn crafts and do odd jobs.

"Well, if you don't report the good news, you still have to run. Chuanjian, you go to repair the water and send the post, it's their business whether to come or not, and it's our business whether to send it or not! ”

This is the right reason, just two undergraduates going to open an ancestral hall will make people laugh at the little family, but if you want it to show off, Li Chuanjian said happily: "Yes, as soon as the notice arrives, I will repair the water and send it."

However, the grievances of the elders did not affect the interest of the brothers in the slightest. The Li family finally got out of college, isn't this a big joy? College students, they will be people of the country in the future, and those unfair bad things in the village will still be pressed on their own heads like they did thirty years ago?

If you want to have a happy event, money is indispensable, Li Chuanmeng looked at the excited brothers, and selectively forgot about the 'brother Ming Accounting', and said arrogantly: "Chuanjian, this time is a big happy event for our Li family, in this way, we will pay 10,000 yuan from the public account first, and add if it is not enough." ”

If you are poor, you will have short ambitions, and when you are rich, you will know etiquette, Li Chuanjian hurriedly resigned, but Li Chuanmeng did not allow him to object.

"Your cub, it's not appropriate for you to pay for it, it's not appropriate for you to let you out, this is a great joy for our Li family, and the family is righteous and has won glory for our Li family! Speaking of which, if we are uncles in the future, we will inevitably trouble their brothers. In this way, half of the store is out, and you are half out of yourself. ”

As soon as something involves the entire family, it is not a matter of money but face, Li Chuanmin and they hurriedly echoed the decision of the elder brother. Li Chuanjian, who was full of drunkenness, saw that his brothers insisted on this, and agreed with a smile, anyway, the store made a lot of money, and everyone didn't care about the thousands of dollars and eight hundred.

"If you want it, big brother, or in the future, the sons and sisters will be admitted to the university, and they will each pay half and half in the store?"

has been a brother for decades, although Li Chuanmeng is half drunk, he will not know his cousin's thoughts, and said briskly: "If you want it, it's up to you." Chuanjian, it's not me talking about you, in front of your own people, don't have so many hearts. ”

"Hehe, I'm used to it, I still owe my eldest brother to the old brother (mind)!"

"Yes!"

The brothers are all happy, as if they have gone back to the days of decades ago, when everyone ate a handful of shredded potatoes.
