Chapter 606: Television
(1) October 21, 977.
Li Siyu looked at today's newspaper, with a clear black bold headline on it.
The resumption of the college entrance examination has been in the newspapers, although there are also secret rumors during this time, but not many people believe it.
It is also more people who can't believe it, but they have been paying attention to this matter.
Today's newspapers have undoubtedly put many people at ease and at the same time excited.
The resumption of the college entrance examination means that you can return to the city, and in the eyes of the intellectual youth in the countryside, this is a big thing.
Li Siyu put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at the window.
More than 5 million people took the college entrance examination, but only 300,000 people were admitted.
It is true that there is a big gap in this admission ratio, but more importantly, the college entrance examination has made many people pick up their textbooks again and study again.
Today's newspapers have activated the hearts of millions of intellectual youths who have been silent for a long time!
And some of these young intellectuals are good at studying, some are not good at studying, and some of them have not even studied in junior high school.
But they still want to give it a try, what if it succeeds?
This year is not destined to be an ordinary year.
Workers and peasants, young intellectuals who have gone to the countryside and returned to their hometowns, rehabilitated juniors, cadres and fresh high school graduates.
No matter what your professional status is, you can take the college entrance examination.
This year's college students are mainly from key colleges, medical colleges, normal and agricultural colleges.
After graduating from these schools, the state assigns jobs to them, and there is no need to take over the shifts.
A few families are happy and a few are sad, those former children of workers and peasants, who used to think that they could go to college with a good father, and they didn't need to study culture at all.
It's a pity that now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, that is, merit-based admission, even if it is the son of Tianwang Laozi, he must have real knowledge in order to be admitted to university!
"Xiao Li, the letter is here." Qi Yun sorted out the letters in the mailbox and put them on the coffee table.
With her things set, she turned and went out. Qi Yun is very busy every day, cooking and tidying up the house, as well as washing clothes and taking care of the children.
Although Li Siyu helped her, it was limited. I've been sorting out the things about setting up a factory lately, so I don't have much time to help.
She got up and looked at the letter, which contained the letter that Xia Congwei mailed her, as well as Ma Huimin's.
Xia Congwei would send her a letter in a month to two months to tell her about foreign affairs.
Now she has repeated her university abroad and has graduated.
At present, she is studying architecture in the United States, and it seems that she wants to continue reading. I didn't expect her to have such a persistent heart, but also, if she hadn't insisted on being sent down before, there would be no her now.
After reading Xia Congwei's complaining letters, they were all complaining that studying was very tiring, but it was sufficient.
Li Siyu opened Ma Huimin's letter again, they have moved away from the small courtyard for a long time and have their own home.
But Ma Huimin often goes to clean her yard, and Li Siyu is equivalent to letting their brother and sister live in a white house over the years, which makes her grateful.
Over the years, there has been no disconnection, and every two or three months there will be a letter.
Ma Huimin did not graduate from college before, so she explained that she would continue to take the college entrance examination.
This is also normal, if you don't go to the college entrance examination, then you don't have a formal job to do, of course you have to give it a try.
However, Ma Huimin has been in college for three years, and it is estimated that there is no problem, just to revisit his old knowledge.
Everyone got up smoothly, Xiao Ai and Qin Chuan also got married a few days ago, and Wang Yuanyuan also gave birth to twin daughters.
The other college classmates in front of me have also developed very well, either going abroad, or getting married and having children.
In today's letter, Li Siyu felt a lot of emotion, he didn't have any friends in his previous life, but he met a lot of good friends in this life.
Some of us don't see each other much, but they are still in touch, and compared to the weakness of human affection in later generations, people now attach more importance to affection.
Towards evening, Li Siyu received a notice from the street that a copy of her package had arrived and asked her to pick it up.
She went out and saw that Qi Yun was coaxing the child, so she put on her coat and went out to get it herself.
It's late autumn now, and it's very cold at night outside, although I don't feel much about it yet.
The package was sent back by Li Chengcai, and this time he has been on a business trip with his daughter-in-law for more than two months.
It looks like they're coming back soon, after all, it's winter soon.
The package is not big, it is a cardboard box, but the weight is ......
She couldn't hold it anyway.
Please the lady of the street, and the two of them carried it outside.
"Oh, it's so heavy, what's in there." The eldest lady glanced at it uneasily, and then said, "Can you bring it back yourself?" If you can't do it, I'll carry it back for you. ”
This lady is very enthusiastic, although she has not yet left work, she still wants to help her send the package home.
Li Siyu said very gratefully: "No thanks, auntie, I asked someone to help me, you go back." ”
She still politely refused, after all, others also have to go to work, so it can't be too troublesome.
It's already dark outside, and when the aunt leaves, she just puts it into the space, and then moves it back little by little when she gets to the door.
The eldest lady nodded hesitantly, and then said, "If no one comes to pick you up, you can come in and find me, and I will help you send it back." ”
Li Siyu thanked him again, there are still more enthusiastic people now, of course, no matter what time it is, there are warm-hearted people.
She looked around and saw that there was no one, then put her things into the space and trotted home.
No way, it's already dark outside now, and it's dangerous if you don't hurry up.
Don't look at the danger now, you still have to have the heart to watch out for bad guys.
After returning home smoothly, she went straight back to her house.
The children also came home from school, the two siblings were responsible for watching the little brother, and Qi Yun was cooking in the kitchen.
It just so happened that no one bothered her, and no one noticed her. I took the package out of the space and put it on the table, and opened the package layer by layer.
A black-and-white television with a black plastic case appeared in front of her eyes.
This thing...... It's only ten inches, right?
Li Siyu frowned, this thing is not as big as the screen of a laptop, that is, a screen the size of an Aipai.
Although she didn't have any feelings about this thing, it was also sent back by Li Chengcai, so the postage would cost a lot of money, right?
There are also neighbors in the neighborhood who bought black-and-white televisions, but they didn't receive as many stations as they listened to radios.
But it's a big thing anyway, and most people don't have it yet.
Li Siyu put the TV in the place where the radio was originally placed, and then went out to wash his hands and eat.
I didn't connect the antenna well, I just wanted to see the snowflakes, and there was nothing else.
When Lin Cheng returned home, he saw the TV, because he would listen to the radio at night, so at a glance, he saw that there was an extra TV in the place where the radio was originally placed.
