In the face of reality, Yang Qianfeng has a temporary goal in his life, and for this goal, he works with books every day and studies while working.

The trajectory of life is often not as good as the plan, one day Xu Erfu found Yang Qianfeng who was desperately digging the ground in the mountains, and when he walked into Yang Qianfeng, who was shirtless and tanned, Xu Erfu was startled, and said in surprise: Yang Dasi, why are you so tanned? Hearing Li Maorong say that you punish yourself at home, I still don't believe it, it turns out that you are really punishing yourself! Anyway, you did well in the exam, just one point short, review it, there may be hope for the coming year, I am more than fifty points short, there is no hope at all.

Yang Qianfeng took Xu Erfu to sit down in a shady place and said: Don't listen to Li Maorong's nonsense, how can I punish myself? There should be something in life that can't be snatched away, and there is nothing to force in life.

Is that right! If only you could think so, but I'm sure you're going to have a good life. Xu Erfu looked at Yang Qianfeng with conviction.

Yang Qianfeng shook his head and said: Thank you for your auspicious words, maybe the reality of my life is always one point away from my goal, but I will work hard.

Baiguo Middle School will recruit three substitute teachers through the exam next Monday, and I am sure you will be able to pass the exam. Xu Erfu said.

Who said that, I don't know at all. Yang Qianfeng asked suspiciously.

It's really fake, you don't know, your dad should know? A notice was posted at the entrance of the commune two days ago, and registration starts today. I learned that many students in the last session and our current class are going to take the exam, and I don't know if it's a real exam or a fake exam, if it's really based on the test results, I believe you will be able to do it, if not, it's hard to say, but I still hope that you take the exam, and it's better to be admitted while teaching and repeating ** than working and reviewing at home. Xu Erfu said seriously.

My dad went on a business trip a few days ago and I didn't know anything about it. Yang Qianfeng asked: What is the content of the test? Do you take the test?

The notice said that only Chinese and mathematics were examined, haha, I will forget it, the exam is also a companion exam, and I am going to learn to be a blacksmith. Xu Erfu said with a smile, and when he talked about learning blacksmithing, he seemed particularly excited.

Is it to learn from Li Maorong's father? You're a drunkard and don't mean to be in a bar? Ready to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Yang Qianfeng suddenly realized.

Look at what you said, yesterday my father found Li Maorong's father, and her father agreed to let me be his apprentice, so he sent the quilt and other daily necessities over today, and he officially came to the apprenticeship tomorrow, can you ...... Can you be his son-in-law? Xu Erfu was embarrassed to explain: The two of us ......

I don't know your little Jiujiu yet, Li Maorong usually treats you well, apprenticeship is one aspect, and your other purpose is to create opportunities to live under the same roof, hahaha...... Isn't it, isn't it ......, your intrigues and tricks are only one step away from reality, admire, admire. Yang Qianfeng interrupted Xu Erfu's words, pointed his finger at him and said with a smile.

I can't hide my little caution from you, so I won't tell you, I'm leaving. Xu Erfu's face was flushed, and he stood up and ran down the mountain as he spoke, reminding Yang Qianfeng as he ran: Don't forget to sign up.

Looking at Xu Erfu's back, Yang Qianfeng suddenly felt as if he was isolated from the world, looking at the sun, it was estimated that it was only more than ten o'clock, he didn't think too much about it, put on his clothes and went down the mountain, and decided to go to the commune to take a look at the situation.

Yang Qianfeng read the notice and went to the registration office to register.

Responsible for the registration is the commune secretary Wang, Secretary Wang always received Yang Qianfeng with a smile on his face, and reminded him with concern that 16 people have participated in the registration, which is very competitive, and he must read the book carefully after going back and strive to be admitted. Yang Qianfeng felt that Secretary Wang's words were really warm, and said goodbye to Secretary Wang with confidence.

The exam was held in Baiguo Middle School as scheduled, and after the two exams, Yang Qianfeng felt that he had played very well, and the people who took the exam knew each other very well, as the old saying goes, everyone knows the depth of the pond at the door. Yang Qianfeng conservatively lined up, thinking that he was in the top three fine, thinking that teaching is a respected profession, and being a teacher is not bad, thinking of this, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Two days later, the results came out, Yang Qianfeng asked Secretary Wang, and Secretary Wang said regretfully: The total score of the top four is about the same, the first place is 3 points more than the second place, the second place is 1 point more than the third place, the third place is 0.5 points more than the fourth place, and you are the fourth place. Only three people were recruited this time, so you didn't admit them.

Secretary Wang smiled and comforted: Your brigade primary school still lacks a teacher, and you have to pass the exam to be hired, this time you did very well, I believe that you can be 100% able to take the primary school substitute teacher exam, if you want, you can sign up now, the 28th exam.

Yang Qianfeng was very grateful to Secretary Wang from the bottom of his heart, thinking that primary school should be elementary school, so he signed up and left the commune.

On the way home, he felt very puzzled, the first and third places were classmates from the previous class, compared with the same classmates in Baiguo Commune, the study was better, but it was not good in Dukou Middle School, and he had never entered the top 20: the second place was his classmate Wang Xiaozhen, whose Chinese was not bad, but his math was not good, and his college entrance examination score was more than 30 points lower than his own, how did these three people play so well this time? Yang Qianfeng was puzzled, could it be that the commune also cheated? The test paper was taken by the Education Bureau, and the seal was opened on the spot, how could the commune cheat? Yang Qianfeng comforted himself: Impossible, absolutely impossible. I'm still not as good as others!

Three days later, Yang Qianfeng received a letter from Ouyang Lamei, he was very surprised and excited, and couldn't wait to open the letter.

Hello Striker! Farewell to the ferry station, we haven't seen each other for more than five months, I miss the days of studying together, you are really, you don't come to my house to play after the college entrance examination, do you look down on me as a classmate? Hahaha – a joke.

Before, everyone was very nervous about studying, and I was the same, but in the end, I didn't get a good test, and I heard that you were one point behind, ashamed! I'm three points off. Originally, I wanted to play with Ginkgo fruit, but as soon as the exam was over, my parents found me a tutor, and now I run to the teacher's house all day long, and I don't know when it will be a head.

One morning a week ago, Secretary Wang from Baiguo Commune came to my house to talk to my father, as if he wanted to ask my father for the exam papers, and my father said that the exam papers must not be leaked...... Later, Secretary Wang and my father left after talking.

In the afternoon, I went to the math teacher's house to make up the lesson, and Secretary Wang also came to the teacher's house and asked him for the exam papers, but the teacher said that there were no exam papers, and even if they did, they could not be given. Secretary Wang said: We are old classmates, we know your difficulties, help, and it should be okay to reveal a little bit of the key points of review. The teacher said, "That's fine." Later, the teacher gave a few pieces of paper to Secretary Wang, and said: More than 85% of them are on this paper, and I feel strange when I see Secretary Wang asking for exam papers twice a day on different occasions, but I don't think much about it.

Yesterday I met Wang Xiaozhen at the gate of the Education Bureau, and I learned that Baiguo Commune was recruiting substitute teachers. He didn't get it from my father, so he went to the math teacher's house where the exam paper came out, and although the exam paper didn't arrive, he asked for the content of the exam paper, and he could go to the math teacher to ask for it, and he would definitely ask for it from the Chinese teacher.

In fact, the three people who were admitted already knew the exam questions, they were the secretary of the commune, the director and the relatives of Secretary Wang, Wang Xiaozhen is Secretary Wang's niece, understand this matter, I am very upset for you, how can this be? For this reason, I didn't sleep all night, and I told my father about it in the past two days, and he told me not to talk nonsense, and said that the examination papers were strictly managed according to the requirements, and it was impossible for the Education Bureau to leak the questions, and Secretary Wang found the math teacher and Chinese teacher who came up with the questions, and they couldn't explain the problem, as long as Secretary Wang and the teachers didn't admit it, there would be no evidence to prove what I said, and then they might say that I was framed. For this reason, I was very unconvinced and quarreled with my father, and he was angry, so I was so scared that I didn't dare to say it again.

Recalling what my father said, it is not unreasonable, the exam papers were sent by a special person, opened in public in the examination room, and the test papers after the exam were also sealed according to the regulations, the whole process was really flawless, just what I heard and saw was an isolated evidence, they didn't admit it, and they really couldn't do anything about it.

I know that this matter is boring, and if I don't talk to you, I will panic in my heart, and I am afraid that I won't be able to figure it out after telling you...... After repeated considerations, I want to tell you about it, I want to say: my generation who just left school is very simple and naïve, in fact, the world is not as beautiful as we imagined, and there are shadows under the sun, through this matter, we see that there is another side of the world - unfair.

You know it's not fair, and you have nothing to say. I'm just talking about my feelings with you, and I don't want to increase your troubles, since you have no power to go back, you have to face the reality, put an end to this unpleasant thing, and you have to have more eyes in the future, and you can't be bullied yet.

I heard that you are reclaiming a barren mountain to punish yourself, and you are tanned like a black turtle, haha...... This is what Wang Xiaozhen said.

It is normal for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge of the national examination and fall into the river, you are a person who does not admit defeat, I appreciate your righteousness and courage, I sincerely hope that you will cheer up and fight hard to realize your ideals, I am very optimistic about you! It's true.

I wish you and I success. Ouyang Lamei was written on August 26, 1979.

Yang Qianfeng read Ouyang Lamei's letter, and the mystery was finally revealed, but he couldn't calm down for a long time, and Secretary Wang's smile appeared in front of him, thinking that adults can really pretend, obviously smirking but laughing like a real one, obviously fake care but talking so warmly, I really want to knock Secretary Wang down with one punch, and then step on one foot, so that he will never turn over.

After thinking about it, Yang Qianfeng thought that what Ouyang Lamei said made sense, it was useless to find anyone if he couldn't come up with evidence, and the director of education couldn't do anything about them, not to mention that he was a young man who had just left school?
