Chapter 4 The college entrance examination is a litmus test of ability

(1) Mismatch between ability and position

In 1977, the national college entrance examination was resumed, and the college entrance examination system, which had been interrupted for ten years, began to recover. Of course, most of them are just accompanying "Childe to pass the exam".

In order to buy the college entrance examination review syllabus, Qiu Yue queued up in front of Xinhua Bookstore early. She knows that as long as she has this syllabus, she can know the scope and general content of the exam, and if she wants to review and study, she can narrow down the scope, which is relatively easy. Two or three hours passed, and there were a few long lines in front of the bookstore. Finally waited for the outline to be sold. Due to the limited quantity, the bookstore is limited to two copies per person. In order to buy a few more copies, Qiu Yue queued up three times in a row and bought six copies. I sent two copies to my second aunt's house, so that my cousins and cousins in Hunan's second aunt's house could have a direction to study. I also kept two books at home for myself and my younger siblings to study together, and two books for my aunt's daughter, because none of us had seen them.

The review materials were bought, and she took Huangying's sister home from the countryside to review, not so much a review, but rather a study, because before this, they had never experienced such a national exam, even if they had never heard of the college entrance examination, learning was their hobby, and the exam was the only way for them to test how much knowledge they had learned, and it was the best channel for their ability positioning. Whether it's out of a thirst for knowledge or a quest for their own future, they have to go through it. All should be experienced.

Everyone is in full swing to read and study, Qiu Yue because she liked mathematics very much when she was in school, she decided to apply for science and engineering, but Huang Ying's sister persuaded her to apply for literature and history, Huang Ying said, although your math grades are very good, but, you have learned too little, for example, how much can you understand trigonometry? What do you know about geometry problems? You haven't been exposed to three-dimensional geometry, besides, you have never seen many formulas in chemistry and physics, to be precise, you don't even recognize the words, how to take the test? If you choose to take the liberal arts course, then, although you don't like history and geography very much, at least you know something, and it is relatively easy to understand, because you know words, and it is much easier to learn. Qiu Yue listened to her sister's explanation and felt that it was very reasonable, so she decided to apply for the literature and history class.

Now, Xiaohou's opportunity to perform has come. He took the initiative to serve as a tutor for his little brother, in fact, he also helped with math and physics. During that time, he came to Qiuyue's house almost every day to teach his brother, because although his brother graduated from high school, he did not attend a few days of class, he was born in 1960, and began to go to school in 1966, that is, he encountered the unprecedented Proletarian Cultural Revolution from the first day of school, children are greedy for fun, and it is best not to do homework when reading, and the teachers at that time did not dare or did not want to ask students to study hard, so in addition to recognizing a few words, for what mathematics, physics, I don't know anything about chemistry. He didn't have much interest in history and geography, but for his future and to get a job, he had to take the college entrance examination, so he began to study seriously from then on.

One night, Qiuyue went to her brother's room to get ink, and the brother and Xiaohou encountered a problem while doing a math problem, and when the brother saw his sister coming, he asked, "Sister, do you see how to do this problem." ”

Xiaohou took over the topic and said, "I said that it should be done like this, but my brother said that it was not right, so look at it, how should it be done?" ”

Qiu Yue took the question and looked at it, and it turned out to be an arithmetic problem; (A meteorological team measured the week's temperatures; Monday is 16 degrees, Tuesday is 18 degrees., Wednesday is 12 degrees, Thursday is 5 degrees, Friday is -5 degrees, Saturday is -5 degrees, Sunday is 0 degrees, Q, what is the average temperature of the measured air temperature in this group? Akizuki said, "Isn't this an arithmetic problem?" Is there still such a simple topic to be discussed? Either the positive sign is added, the negative is subtracted, and then the addition is the subtraction, and finally the division is divided by seven. ”

The brother said, "I'll talk about this, but Xiaohou won't say it's, so I'll ask you." ”

"Oh", Qiu Yue suddenly had an inexplicable fire in her heart, she looked at Xiao Hou with a contemptuous gaze, and said; "Really? So what do you think should be counted? ”

Xiao Hou insisted, "It's not that simple for me to say, do you think, can such a simple arithmetic problem be used as a college entrance examination question?" ”

Qiu Yue said, "Who said this is a college entrance examination question?" This is a review question. If you say it's so simple, why can't you even do such a simple question? You're a college graduate, you don't even know this, it's a rice bucket. ”

Qiu Yue scolded in her mouth, and had a firmer plan in her heart, that is, it was impossible to drag him down anymore, and she had to break up with him immediately. Thinking of this, Qiu Yue suddenly stopped scolding, not wanting to say anything more, she turned around and walked out of her brother's room.

Xiao Hou was very unconvinced and stopped Qiu Yue and said, "You are really hard-mouthed, I said that you are wrong, it can't be so simple." ”

Qiu Yue didn't want to talk to him more, firstly, because she wanted to save some face for him, and secondly, since she was going to break up, why bother to be serious with him and waste time. As a result, he stopped him, and this anger didn't hit anywhere again. He said, "I'm too lazy to tell you, as long as you're not afraid of losing face, you can ask any worker in your unit yourself, if it's my mistake, I'll promise whatever you want me to lose, and if you lose, then from tomorrow onwards, you will never be allowed to walk into my house again." After saying this, Qiu Yue left angrily.

Time passed day by day, just two or three months of review time, Qiuyue because she had to work and study at the same time, and she had no foundation, for the college entrance examination, she asked her friend Jiang Taoyi to help tutor mathematics. Tao Yi was very supportive of Qiu Yue's participation in the college entrance examination, so he took the initiative to help Qiu Yue tutor mathematics, so that Qiu Yue went to her friend's house to study after dinner after work every day, rain or shine. Such behavior was praised by Aunt Jiang. One day it was pouring rain, and Qiuyue also arrived at Jiang's house on time. My aunt cried out to the heavens, "Oh my God, such a good young man, she is so serious and diligent in her studies. If you don't let her be admitted, then you don't have eyes. ”

Due to the tight time, Qiu Yue didn't have the time to go to Xiaohou to talk about the breakup. The college entrance examination is over, and during the time of waiting for the admission results, Xiao Hou still went to Qiu Yue's house on Sunday, one day, Xiao Hou jokingly said, "If you are admitted to a university in another province and study there, if I have the opportunity to go on a business trip to that city, I will go to the school to see you, you must not say that we don't know each other." ”

Qiu Yue glared at him and said, "What do you mean by that?" Do you wish I couldn't pass the test or joke that I wasn't up to the mark? I'll tell you, I'm definitely not going to be able to do it this time, but I'm going to continue to work hard. If I can be admitted to a university in another province at my current level, then it is not unusual to go to university. Seriously, if I really go to college, our relationship will be decided, and if I don't get into college, our relationship should be over, because what I want is to learn knowledge, and what you need is material, and we will never be able to get together. You know that. I don't need to talk about it anymore. ”

Admissions began. Huang Ying was admitted to Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics, with a degree in Industrial Accounting. The autumn moon is named Sun Mountain. The brother was denied the exam because he did not go to the countryside.

(2) A "male god" who has neither level nor responsibility

Soon after hitting the "Gang of Four", the motherland began a cultural recovery, and the movie theaters at that time were all night-long movies, basically those good movies that were released in the sixties, although it was an all-night release, it was difficult to satisfy people's desire to watch movies, even if it was a movie ticket in the second half of the night, it was difficult to buy, and Liu's sister-in-law next door stopped Qiuyue one day and said, "Someone else helped me buy four movie tickets for "Liu Sanjie". It's 5:20 tomorrow morning, I don't have time to look at it, let it be handed over, okay? ”

Qiu Yue was very happy when she heard that there was a movie ticket, so how could she care about what time it was? He immediately agreed, "yes, that's great." ”

Qiu Yue took the movie ticket and jumped up with joy. Then, she was worried again, who to look for four tickets? Parents won't go to see it, only brothers and little sisters are at home, and Huang Ying is studying at school at this time, so she can't watch this movie, and it would be a pity if she gave it to someone else. had to reluctantly invite Xiaohou to watch this movie.

Xiao Hou learned that the movie was going on at five o'clock the next morning, so he took the opportunity to squeeze in with his brother for one night. Because they were so happy, everyone actually looked at the wrong clock, and it became more than four o'clock at two o'clock in the middle of the night. So, everyone hurriedly got up to watch the movie, and when everyone arrived, the play was not over, and then looked at the clock carefully, only to know that they had seen the wrong time, and they couldn't go back to sleep, so they had to wait outside. Feel free to take a look at other movie introductions and stills.

Although it was the middle of the night, the lively scene was extraordinary, and the audience waiting for the tickets, the eyes were bright, as long as someone touched their pockets with their hands, they would immediately be surrounded by people who bought tickets from you, so that you could not get out. Qiu Yue had never seen that kind of formation, because she had never waited for a movie ticket and didn't understand this rule.

Because of the long wait, my sister Chunhua couldn't hold it anymore, and she asked her sister to say, let's find a place to sit, okay?

Akizuki agreed. So, the sisters were about to walk towards a more secluded place, but they were surrounded by the audience waiting for tickets, saying that she had a ticket to refund. Qiu Yue hurriedly explained; "There are no refunds, we are looking for a place to rest." Those people didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, they just surrounded Qiuyue and Spring Flowers, and there were more and more onlookers, Qiuyue shouted, "I don't have any extra tickets."

Don't follow me anymore. It's useless. "Yes, it's really useless, Sister Qiuyue was blocked by onlookers, the brother heard his sister's voice, and then looked at the group of people around, he realized that the two sisters must have been entangled by this gang of people, and they must go to solve the siege immediately.

He strode forward. shouted loudly; "Sister, sister, where are you?" Qiu Yue replied loudly, "I'm here, and they are surrounding us, saying that I don't give them the tickets I have, and they don't listen to my explanation, they just follow me closely." As he spoke, the brother had already approached the crowd of people watching Qiuyue. Then say; "We really don't have any extra tickets, so if there is, why don't we let them out? Wouldn't it be a waste to keep it? Do you say yes?

When the onlookers saw what the visitor said, they felt justified after hearing it, and then everyone dispersed.

In the ten minutes that Qiuyue was watched, Xiaohou did not show his face from beginning to end, and he stayed out of the matter.

The movie was over, and everyone went their own way. When the brother came home, he sighed and said something to his father; "Xiaohou is too bad."

The father asked why. The brother said the general reason. Then he said, "Sister's choice, don't interfere too much, okay?" "My father didn't say anything.

Qiu Yue was thinking about everything that happened in the morning when she was at work, and she felt very uncomfortable, and at this time she had made up her mind to break up with Xiaohou. No matter how much pressure on the family is, she is ready.

When I came back from work, my father asked Qiuyue what happened this morning? After Qiu Yue said a little roughly, she asked her father, "How do you know?" ”

The father replied, "Listen to your brother." ”

At this time, Qiu Yue seemed to have obtained a treasure, and thought, "There is no obstacle to her breaking up with Xiaohou."
