At present, the working hours of the administrative units are from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., and last Monday to Saturday, with one day off on Sunday.

In addition, in previous years, if there was no need to work overtime, there were "study meetings" two or three times a week, and on the day of the study meeting, I would leave work an hour late.

However, now there are many fewer units that continue to maintain this habit, and Chen Fan has not encountered it when he was in the health department.

Study sessions can be suspended, but lunch breaks cannot.

The two hours from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock are the time for eating and resting, and it is unlikely that anyone will be there in most administrative units. Only departments that directly face the masses of the people will arrange special personnel to be on duty.

Apparently the Education Division is not.

Fortunately, it's past half past one o'clock, and it's not long before two o'clock.

Chen Fan and Jiang Tiantian were chatting quietly in the corridor, and before they knew it, someone started to work.

As the office doors were opened, the correspondence point was finally arriving.

Two middle-aged men wearing gray shirts, blue trousers, and cloth shoes walked over and looked at Chen Fan and Jiang Tiantian, and one of them asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Chen Fan hurriedly stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, I'm here to sign up for the correspondence university." ”

The man smiled and said, "Little comrade, the enrollment time of the correspondence university is in June and July, and now that the time has passed, according to the regulations, it will no longer accept applications. Little comrade, you should come back next year. ”

Chen Fan smiled, "I know this, but I heard that in addition to the normal registration channels, there is also a special examination recruitment, is there such a thing?" ”

"Exam specialty?"

The man glanced back at his colleague, the two of them laughed together, he turned his face to look at Chen Fan again, and said with a smile, "Little comrade, you are very confident." It's true that there is such a thing as a special entrance examination, but the requirements are very high. ”

Chen Fan smiled, "I want to give it a try." ”

Seeing that Chen Fan was a little stubborn, the smile on his face was closed, and he said, "If you insist on trying, according to the regulations, I can also handle it for you, but there is a word in advance, the special recruitment exam requires an application fee of 1 yuan, if you can pass the exam, this 1 yuan will be converted into 10 yuan of tuition per year, if you fail to pass, this money will not be refunded, understand?" ”

Chen Fan nodded immediately, "Understood." ”

Seeing that he was so confident, the man stopped persuading and took out the key to open the door, "Then you can come in with me." ”

Chen Fan and Jiang Tiantian followed them in, and inside was an office-like layout, with a total of 5 desks, placed against the wall, two on one side and three on the other.

Behind the two desks there is a large filing cabinet, and on the right hand side of the door, there is a wooden sofa consisting of a bench and a single chair, and a coffee table in front of it.

There is also a closed door on the right wall, and I don't know what it is up to.

The man invited Chen Fan and Jiang Tiantian to sit down on the bench, and sat down on the single chair by himself, and asked, "Is it just you to take the exam, or are you all together?" ”

As he spoke, another comrade poured two cups of cold tea and placed them on the coffee table.

Chen Fan said "thank you" first, then turned to the man and said, "I'm the only one." ”

Don't say that Jiang Tiantian is not prepared, even if she is really sure, she will not be allowed to come to this correspondence university, and it is not better to wait a few months to take the college entrance examination directly.

Jiang Tiantian was worried that Chen Fan was pulling her to take the exam with her just now, and when she heard this, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Let her take the exam now, and she is indeed not sure at all.

At this time, Chen Fan asked politely, "I haven't asked you what to call it yet?" ”

The man smiled and said, "My surname is Guo, you can call me Teacher Guo." ”

He pointed to another comrade, "His surname is He, just call him Teacher He." ”

Chen Fan immediately greeted again, "Hello Teacher Guo, hello Teacher He." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it over, "Mr. Guo, this is my letter of introduction." ”

Teacher Guo received it, but did not open it immediately, but asked, "We have literature, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and mechanics here、...... There are a total of 17 majors, which major do you want to apply for? ”

Chen Fan said without thinking, "Literature." ”

The corners of Jiang Tiantian's mouth next to her were slightly upturned, and a touch of clarity appeared in her eyes. The new generation of writers who are famous in the whole Yunhu Lake would be strange if they didn't report literature.

As for Chen Fan's purpose in choosing a literature major, it is very simple, and the exam is easy to pass!

Moreover, the graduates of this major also have enough reasons to work at home, unlike those science majors, which need to communicate with people often and work together, and it is almost impossible to hide at home and not go out.

Hearing Chen Fan's answer, Mr. Guo just nodded slightly, literature is one of the most popular majors, and it is normal for this young man to choose a major in literature.

He turned his head to Teacher He and said, "Old He, take out a set of special examination papers for liberal arts." ”

After finishing speaking, he slowly opened the letter of introduction.

At first glance, it was nothing, but when he saw the name and payment clearly, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he muttered in his mouth, "Lujiawan Production Team, Nanhu Commune, Gufeng County, Chen Fan?" Chen Fan? Lujiawan? How is the name so familiar? ”

On the other side, Mr. He had just found the key from the drawer and was about to go to the back filing cabinet to get the materials, when he suddenly heard his words, he couldn't help but turn around sharply and looked at Chen Fan with surprise on his face, "You are Chen Fan from Lujiawan in Nanhu Commune?" "On the Field of Hope" series that you wrote? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Guo also reacted, stood up suddenly, and stared at Chen Fan intently, "I remember, Chen Fan is you?!" ”

The two teachers stood up, and Chen Fan naturally couldn't sit still, so he quickly got up and smiled a little shyly, "It's me." ”

Seeing Chen Fan's admission, Mr. Guo's eyes immediately lit up, stretched out his hand to pat Chen Fan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, I still think about when I have time, I will go to Lujiawan to talk to you about the topic of literary creation, I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself today, hahahaha......"

He turned to Teacher He and beckoned, "Old He, take out the Longjing tea in the cabinet and brew it for Writer Chen." ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, I'm afraid this is not the realistic version of "tea, tea, good tea"!

But it can't be said that people are snobbish, after all, I was just a student who came to the door to sign up, and everyone gave me tea, which is really not slacking.

He immediately said, "No, no, Mr. He, don't bother, it's hot, it's good for us to drink this tea." ”

Jiang Tiantian had already stood up with him, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a sense of honor.

Seeing that Chen Fan resolutely refused, Mr. He no longer went to pour tea again, but he didn't go to get the test papers, but dragged a chair over, sat down with everyone, and chatted happily about the topic of literary creation.

Chen Fan muttered in his heart, I am here to register for the exam, not to engage in study exchanges, why are we still talking.

However, he is not an ignorant stunned youth, his face always keeps a warm spring breeze, and he chats with the two teachers seriously and answers their questions one by one.

In the blink of an eye, it was more than an hour.

Teacher Guo took a sip of water from his tea jar, with a satisfied smile on his face, "I also studied literature, and after reading your article, I feel that there are some things in it that are very different."

For example, the portrayal of the character's personality, sometimes only a few strokes, but it is particularly expressive, and through some detailed descriptions, it is easy for readers to understand the origin of his character, and even through his understanding, guess how he will deal with something in the later text. And ......"

After talking for a long time, Mr. Guo suddenly thought of a question, he turned his head to look at Chen Fan, and asked puzzledly, "Writer Chen, your literary literacy is very profound, and many college students are not as good as you, how could you think of signing up for a correspondence university?" ”

Chen Fan corrected Mr. Guo's name again, and said with a pretended shame, "Mr. Guo, don't call me a writer, just call me Xiao Chen." ”

Then he continued to explain, "Actually, I am not like you said, I have a deep foundation in literary literacy, and the little knowledge I am learning now is all learned by reading books by myself, and it is not systematic at all, and I still don't know much about some logical things."

In addition, according to the actual situation of my life in the production team, combined with the concept of literary creation, and most importantly, Mr. Li's instructions on literary creation, I think that if life is the soil of literary creation, and the masses as the core are the sun hanging high in the sky, then systematic literary theory is the fertilizer that waters the flowers of literature.

Soil and sunlight are indispensable, but without the watering of fertilizer, the flower of literature cannot thrive.

Originally, I had collected some university textbooks and wanted to enrich my theoretical knowledge through self-study. But a few days ago, I accidentally learned that Jiangnan University has resumed correspondence education, and there is a correspondence school in our Yunhu area, so I wanted to come and give it a try.

It would be a lifelong honor for me to have the guidance of the teachers of Jiangnan University. ”

After listening to Chen Fan's words, Mr. Guo turned to Mr. He and said, "It seems that our work is still not in place, and there are many grassroots people who want to make progress who don't know the existence of our correspondence point, otherwise, it will not make it difficult for a talent like Writer Chen." ”

He didn't mention the "recommended quota".

At the beginning of this month, Professor Cha denounced the four drawbacks of the current admissions system in front of the vice president, the second of which is "blocking the children of workers and peasants from going to university".

It can be seen that who has taken away the recommended quota now, although Chen Fan is not famous, but in the final analysis, he is only a coordinator of the production team, how can he get the recommended quota.

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently muttered in his heart, can you not call Writer Chen?

It always feels good.

At this time, Teacher Guo turned around and said to Chen Fan, "With your knowledge, there will definitely be no problem in passing our admissions exam, but it's just ......."

Speaking of which, he seemed a little hesitant.

Chen Fan looked at him, then at Teacher He, and asked puzzledly, "Is there anything inconvenient?" ”

"Ah, it's not."

Teacher Guo waved his hand with a serious face and gestured to Teacher He, "Old He, close the door." ”

Then he got up and beckoned to Chen Fan, "You come in with me." ”

Chen Fan stood up and turned his head to look at Jiang Tiantian.

When Mr. Guo saw his movements, he smiled, "Come in together." ”

Anyway, this matter was told to Chen Fan, and Chen Fan would most likely tell his companions, so it was better to be happy and talk about it directly.

Chen Fan and Jiang Lili followed him into the next room, only to find that this was a relatively large classroom-style conference room.

Teacher Guo pulled out a chair and sat down, motioned for them to sit too, and then said with a smile, "This is the place where the correspondence course takes the exam, and the sound insulation effect is better, which is just convenient for talking about something." ”

Chen Fan looked at Jiang Tiantian who was confused, and then looked back at Teacher Guo, feeling a little confused.

I just came here to sign up, how did I get mysterious?

At this time, Mr. He also walked in and closed the door with his backhand.

Chen Fan blinked, quietly touched the PPK pinned to his waist, and thought to himself, shouldn't he move this thing? And I didn't drink the tea just now, by the way, did Jiang Tiantian drink it?

At this time, the smile on Mr. Guo's face disappeared, and he looked at him and said, "From the first time I saw the article you wrote, I was fascinated by you, we chatted for more than an hour just now, and from your speech and demeanor, I can see that my impression of you is not wrong, you are a very good young man with a very good character." ”

Chen Fan smiled embarrassedly, "You praised it." ”

I thought to myself, what does this mean? Praise me so well that you want to recruit me as a son-in-law?

Or use the position to woo me?

His mind was flying wildly, but Mr. Guo changed the tone of his words and continued, "Xiao Chen, I don't know if you have noticed, this year's college enrollment work has not yet started. ”

Chen Fan blinked, "Uh, I didn't notice." ”

I really didn't notice it, and Lujiawan is far away from the city, except for the information in the newspapers and on the radio, it can be said that the information is blocked, and it is no different from remote areas.

University enrollment is such a lofty thing, not to mention Lujiawan, even in Gufeng County, there is not much news coming out.

All the recommended places have been allocated in advance, why pass them out? Do you add to the chaos?

Otherwise, there is no such thing as impostoring these days, and there is no need for it at all.

However, normally speaking, even the enrollment of correspondence universities has ended, and the enrollment of ordinary universities should end earlier.

Otherwise, where will the students pick up the leaks of the correspondence university? Not yet the ones who were hopeful but didn't get recommended.

And Chen Fan only knows that the college entrance examination will be resumed at the end of this year, and he really doesn't know the specific details and inside information.

When Mr. Guo heard Chen Fan's words, he was not surprised, but continued, "Originally, according to the practice of previous years, the enrollment notice should have come down a long time ago. It's just that just half a month ago, the vice president convened a meeting of relevant experts, and after discussion, it was decided to recover this year's enrollment report. ”

He looked at Chen Fan meaningfully, "Now, do you understand what it means?" ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled twice, and he suddenly paused, looked at Teacher Guo intently, and said in a low voice, "Are you going to change the system?" ”

Teacher Guo and Teacher He glanced at each other, then looked at him and nodded slightly, "Now people up and down the system are guessing, and it is very likely that they will ......."

Speaking of this, his words became word by word, "Recovery, recovery, high school, exam!" ”

These four words suddenly rang in the ears of Chen Fan and Jiang Tiantian like Huang Zhongdalu.

Resumption of the college entrance examination?

Jiang Tiantian only felt that her mind was blank at this time, would she really resume the college entrance examination?

But in the next second, one of her hearts sank to the bottom again.

Even if it does recover, what can it do? Now even the selection of cadres has to be politically examined, and such a major event as the college entrance examination can be missing this link?

Based on your current situation, are you still eligible to register for the exam?

Just when her heart was in a mess, Teacher Guo looked at Chen Fan and continued, "Xiao Chen, I appreciate your talent very much, and our teachers from the Department of Literature of Jiangnan University have also discussed your articles many times.

Novelty is the rarest place. No matter for any major, it is a breakthrough to come up with new ideas.

I think you are still a little aggrieved when you go to a correspondence university. Although the official notice has not yet come down, and it is being discussed above, there is still a lot of hope for the resumption of the college entrance examination, otherwise wait for a while, and wait for this year's university admissions notice to come out, if the college entrance examination is really resumed, you don't have to wait for the recommended quota of the unit at that time, you can sign up for the exam directly, and you will definitely be able to be admitted on your terms! ”

Chen Fan looked at Teacher Guo in a daze, with only one thought in his mind.

He actually revealed such important inside information to himself, this is true love!

As soon as this thought went down, another thought came to mind.

I have to admit that no matter what era it is, there is a real problem of poor information.

While he himself tried his best to deceive the students in Lujiawan into trying to learn the basics, some people in the education system had already gotten inside information.

At such a critical moment, will they not tell the people around them the news?

Anyway, Chen Fan didn't believe it.

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, Teacher Guo thought that he hadn't reacted, so he couldn't help but smile and said patiently, "This matter is still in the secrecy stage, and I don't know if the college entrance examination will really be resumed, so we will try our best to control the scope of circulation, and we haven't even told our families." I also appreciate your ability very much, so I told you this, you have to think about it, whether you should wait for a while, and take a chance. ”

Chen Fan came back to his senses at this time, nodded vigorously first, and said, "Teacher Guo, Teacher He, don't worry, I won't take out all the words you said today." ”

Teacher Guo nodded with satisfaction, no matter whether what he said is true or not, first of all, this attitude is very good.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fan suddenly showed a hesitant expression, "Teacher Guo, there is a situation, I want to explain it to you." ”

Teacher Guo was slightly stunned, "What?" ”

Chen Fan's face was full of entanglement, "Just two months ago, I held a study class in our Lujiawan, the purpose is to expand our Lujiawan Village small reserve teachers, if the college entrance examination is really resumed, these students who study hard will definitely compete to participate, in case there are more people who are admitted by then......

Hearing this, Mr. Guo understood what he meant, and immediately laughed, "That can only be said to be a good retribution, for the sake of the public, those classmates are also willing to work hard, but they just happened to have a good opportunity to resume the college entrance examination, what is this called?" This is called the self-help of God! ”

As soon as the words fell, he waved his hand, "This matter is very easy to verify, as long as you don't take the initiative to reveal the news, even if all the people in your Lujiawan study class are admitted, I can't blame you!" ”
