On the main road of Lujiawan, Chen Fan rode a horse and walked in front, followed by a mule pulling a cart, Jiang Lili and the four of them sat on the cart, and Liu Dan waved a horsewhip and walked slowly towards the commune.

On both sides of the road, harvesters shuttled back and forth in the rice fields, and wherever they went, the rice was poured there, and someone followed behind to tie up the rice and put it in the distance, and someone immediately came to pick it up to the edge of the field.

On the ridge of the field, there is a diesel engine generating electricity, and the threshing machine not far away makes a roar, threshing the rice, and the golden grain flows into the basket in a hurry, which is as beautiful as the smile on the face of the members.

However, there are only so many machines, and there are many people who wield sickles to harvest in the rice fields.

After the autumn harvest, due to the lack of sufficient fertilizer, the paddy fields must be allowed to recuperate for a period of time in order to restore the fertility of the land, so that there is no need to rush as during the double rush.

The cut paddy does not need to be picked up, and is threshed directly at the edge of the field with a pedal threshing machine.

The mixing barrel, which was once the main force of threshing, has now been cruelly abandoned by Lujiawan.

Although there are not enough mechanical threshing machines, only two teams can take turns to use one, but pedal threshing machines can still be bought, and the mixing barrels that rely purely on manpower have naturally become the object of dislike.

As early as after the team department bought back the batch of agricultural machinery, it took out a "huge amount of money" to place an order with the county agricultural machinery factory and purchased a batch of pedal threshing machines, which can not only ensure that each team has one, but also set aside 6 to take turns to use, which can ensure that each team has two threshing machines, the difference is that 6 of the machinery can only be used in turn.

With the addition of this batch of agricultural machinery, the members not only reduced their labor burden a lot, but also felt happier.

Not to mention every family, this year's team department has developed a side business, Secretary Yang and they have a bowl of water, and each team has people working in the side business unit, and the income created will also have a share of each team.

When it comes to the team account, isn't it equivalent to the hands of the members?!

Nowadays, it is "package production to the group", as long as it is a person who earns work hard, and when the accounts are cleared and dividends are distributed at the end of the year, an income is indispensable, so although they are also greedy for people who can work in the side hustle unit, they are not jealous.

First, people are selected based on their ability, and second, they work outside, don't they have their own share of the profits?

So even if I continue to do the most tiring farm work, I am still in a good mood.

Chen Fan looked at the hot labor scene, waved hello to the members from time to time, walked through the golden rice fields, and arrived in the town after a while.

Stepping onto the main road of the town, the sound of the loudspeaker that I had just heard was a little erratic, and it immediately became clear.

“…… The registration time for the college entrance examination will end at 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the 7th, and students who have not yet registered, please hurry up to the Nanhu Commune School District Office to open a certificate, and then register at the County Education Bureau.

Notice, notice, 1977 college entrance examination registration notice ......"

Liu Dan shook the reins, drove the mule to run a few steps, followed Chen Fan, who was riding a little mare, raised his head and asked, "Teacher Chen, is there anyone who hasn't signed up?" ”

Chen Fan shrugged and glanced at her, "Isn't it us?" ”

It's already the 4th today, and he heard that the courtyard of the commune school district office is empty, and it is estimated that all the registrations have been completed, so he took them over slowly.

Anyway, there are still three or four days before the deadline, so what's the hurry?

The school district office is not just an office, similar to the education department of the prefectural committee, but it is actually the education management agency assigned by the county education bureau to each commune, and is responsible to the county education bureau and the commune government.

So this is not a simple office, but a formal unit, the address is not far from the small entrance of Nanhuwan.

There are very few main units on the main roads of the town, and most of them open a door and then pass through an alley, and the units are behind the roadside buildings.

The same goes for school district offices.

On the north street of Shengli Street, which runs north-south, before reaching the intersection, there is a three-meter-wide alley, and along the alley, there is a small courtyard with only one flat house about 100 meters away, which is the school district office.

About 100 meters further in, there is Nanhu Elementary School.

Chen Fan rode to the door of the school district office, looked forward at Nanhu Primary School, which was located on the dirt slope and could see three bungalow buildings through the wall, then turned over and dismounted, and walked straight into the courtyard gate of the school district office, Liu Dan also quickly instructed the mule to follow up.

After tying the reins and parking the car, Chen Fan waved his hand and entered the house first.

No need to ask, no need to look, you can see a large desk when you enter the door, and a card is placed on it, "Where the college entrance examination certificate is issued".

Well, everyone has set up their stalls at the door, so let's go over.

Chen Fan took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Hello comrade, we are here to open the college entrance examination certificate." ”

The man had already seen Chen Fan and them, took the cigarette with a smile, and said while taking the certificate, "The candidates in our commune have basically finished registering, so I just need a few of you." is worthy of Mr. Chen, he just calms down. ”

Chen Fan snorted, "We are also afraid that there will be too many people, and you will not be busy, so we deliberately chose a time when there are few people to come." ”

As for why this comrade, whom he has never met, knows himself, does this question still need to be asked?

After finishing speaking, he gestured to Huang Ying and the others, "Take out the household registration book." ”

Although you don't need a letter of introduction from the production team, you still need an identity certificate, otherwise how to verify the personnel information?

Jiang Lili and the others hurriedly took out their household registration information and put it on the corner of the table.

The clerk was not ambiguous, registered the basic information, stamped four seals in a row, and handed the letter back to them.

Jiang Lili held the commune certification letter, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Is it so easy to get it?

Have you been worried all this time?

When the letter was in hand, Chen Fan was also full of comfort, offered another cigarette, and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you, hard work!" ”

The clerk comrade was not polite, he took it again, looked at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "Teacher Chen, I heard that you are going to take the postgraduate examination directly?" ”

Chen Fan laughed, "The main reason is that I have already applied for a correspondence university before, and if I take the college entrance examination again, I don't feel that it is cost-effective, so I want to try to take the graduate school examination." ”

The clerk nodded lightly and glanced at the four girls next to him, his eyes were quite complicated.

Chen Fan noticed his eyes, and was slightly stunned, he pondered for two seconds, turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, and said, "You go outside and wait for me." ”

The four girls didn't care, and walked out happily with the proof in their hands.

When they left, Chen Fan took out a lighter, lit it and handed it to the clerk, and said with a smile, "Comrade brother, is there something wrong with them?" ”

The clerk held his hands, put the cigarette butt on the flame and lit it, took a puff, looked at Chen Fan with his head up, his eyes were quite playful, and said with a smile, "Teacher Chen is really not ordinary, you can see this?" ”

Chen Fan snorted, looked left and right, took out a whole pack of filter magnolia from his pocket, covered it with his hand and put it in the half-open drawer, and laughed softly, "Please also ask Brother Comrade for advice!" ”

The clerk glanced at the drawer, his smile was even brighter, he didn't sit anymore, he stood up and said softly, "The three local ones must be fine, it's that little Jiang, is the surname Jiang?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, his smile gradually faded, "What's wrong with her?" ”

The clerk continued, "Before the registration notice was sent, we received several letters about her, asking not to register her.

I also asked the comrades of the county education bureau, and they received the same letter from their side. It's just that they are all anonymous letters, and I don't know who wrote them. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan immediately frowned.

Did he really run into this kind of person?

Anonymous letters are the most annoying, I can't even find anyone, how can I go to him for friendly communication?

Seeing that Chen Fan was not noisy or noisy, the clerk couldn't help but show a little appreciation in his eyes, although the policy has been very clear, but units at all levels will not ignore this aspect, especially some leaders, who would rather do less or not do anything wrong than do wrong.

In fact, this can't be blamed on those people, the main thing is that the turn is too fast, and everything has to be done before, but at this time, they suddenly say don't want it, God knows if the above will settle accounts after the autumn, of course they have to be cautious.

After two turns in his mind, he immediately said, "Frankly speaking, all of us in the unit have to thank you, the superiors have given us the task of asking how much the enrollment rate must be, and we can only barely complete the first-grade enrollment target before, and the higher ones are really powerless."

This year, thanks to you, you supported the expansion of Lujiawan Village Elementary School, and actively promoted veterinarians and sideline businesses, so that the leaders of the production team saw the role of knowledge, so the other four production teams also began to pay attention to education, we haven't worked hard, next year's task has been overcompleted, this favor we must remember. ”

Chen Fan smiled, waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just did something good for myself, and I should not be thanked." ”

The clerk laughed, "Even if you did it unintentionally, it did us a great favor." ”

After a pause, he said again, "People who know you also know that you have lived in Lujiawan Zhiqing Point for a long time, and now there is only Xiao Jiang in Zhiqing Point, and your relationship is also very good."

So, instead of waiting for you to plead, we should send her a letter of proof directly through her application. ”

Chen Fan clasped his hands tightly, raised them and shook them at him, "Thank you, thank you." ”

The clerk took a puff of cigarette, smiled and waved his hand, then changed the tone of his words and said, "Teacher Chen, I have a heartfelt word, of course, it is up to you to listen or not." ”

Chen Fan, "Please speak." ”

Clerk, "Since those people have sent letters to us and the county, then they will definitely not miss the prefectural committee, and maybe they will send it to the provincial education commission. ”

He looked at Chen Fan and said, "So I want to remind you, if you can, you can help, and if you can't help, let go in time, so that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." ”

Chen Fan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Thanks for the advice, thank you!" ”

As soon as the clerk saw his appearance, he knew that he didn't want to give up, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You want to keep her in the examination room, it's not an ordinary difficulty, what is your relationship with her, and it's worth helping her like this?" ”

In the eyes of outsiders, it should be impossible for lovers, in addition to her, an educated youth, there are 3 local girls living in it, their behavior is very normal, and they can't spread scandals if they want to.

But if it's not a lover, what relationship is there that is worth Teacher Xiao Chen's hard work to help her?

Chen Fan smiled and said softly, "How did I come to Nanhu, you should have heard about it, right?" ”

The clerk nodded, "Well, I heard that it was Captain Yang of your 6th team who fished you up from the water." ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh at Yang Chuanfu's luck.

Look at Lujiawan's side business now, fishing for a Chen Fan is worth more than getting a golden doll!

Just when he was distracted, Chen Fan said with a smile, "You only know one and don't know the other, except for Captain Yang who fished me up, I have to thank two people, if it weren't for them, my little life would have been gone." ”

The clerk suddenly became interested and looked at him curiously, "Who else?" ”

Chen Fan, "The first one is Dr. Zhang, the barefoot doctor in our team, who prescribed me two pairs of medicines and sweated profusely, so that I could save my life." ”

The clerk nodded again and again, "The doctor should indeed be grateful for saving people." ”

After a pause, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked at him and asked, "The other one, can't it be Xiao Jiang?" ”

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "At that time, I was unconscious, almost a day and a night, it was Xiao Jiang who boiled those two pairs of medicines and fed me little by little with a spoon, if it weren't for her, I guess it would have been gone." ”

The clerk suddenly realized, "So that's the case, then it's no wonder." ”

No wonder Chen Fan has never shied away from Xiao Jiang's background, and there is almost no difference between treating her and others, it turns out that the roots are here.

Helper, everything makes sense.

After figuring this out, the clerk gave Chen Fan a thumbs up, "You are a benevolent person." ”

Then he took out the pack of cigarettes from the drawer and handed it back, "You take this back, or I'll smoke it hot." ”

As a result, Chen Fan grabbed his hand and stuffed it into the drawer, closed the drawer, and said with a smile, "How can there be any reason to take back the things that were sent out?" If you want to look up to me, just take it. Anyway, if you are willing to let Xiao Jiang go today, I must remember this favor. ”

The clerk listened, hey, isn't that what I just said?

Looking at Chen Fan again, seeing that his eyes were firm, he smiled and shook his head, "Then I'll be cheeky and take it." ”

……

Coming out of the school district office and turning into the main road, Yang Ju drove the mule to Chen Fan.

Huang Ying hurriedly asked, "Teacher Chen, you were talking in there for so long just now, is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look, and saw that the four girls were all looking at him nervously, so he shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just asked him about the time schedule of the college entrance examination." ”

This reason is very reasonable, so Huang Ying, Yang Ju and Liu Dan all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Only Jiang Lili frowned slightly.

If it's about timing, why avoid them?

Before she could think about it, she heard Huang Ying ask, "How was the time arranged?" ”

Chen Fan said without thinking, "Go to the county to register first, and after the list is sent, I will wait to participate in the preliminary examination." The preliminary examination time is set for December 6, 7 and 8, the 6th is to test the Chinese and literature comprehensive or science comprehensive, the 7th is mathematics and politics, and the 8th is the additional subject.

After the exam, the county teacher will immediately judge the paper and issue the score, and only after passing the preliminary examination will you be eligible to participate in the three-day re-examination on December 10, 11 and 12.

The re-examination is the official college entrance examination, and those who pass the examination will be notified to participate in the physical examination, and the time of the physical examination has not yet been determined, but it should be in late December.

After passing the physical examination, you can go to the commune school district office to fill in the volunteer.

After arriving here, it has nothing to do with the candidates, and the admission notice will be issued according to the score and volunteering, and after getting the admission notice, the household registration migration procedures are completed, and the information is brought together, and you can go to the school to report at the specified time. ”

After finishing speaking, the three of Huang Ying had already opened their mouths wide.

Is there so much going on?

Isn't it just an exam?

Chen Fan looked at them, glanced at Jiang Lili, who was suddenly a little depressed, and guessed that she might have guessed something, and suddenly felt a burst of boredom in her heart, and was silent for two seconds, and then said with a straight face, "It's November 4th now, and there is only one month before the first test, and the first test is over immediately, and the retest is coming soon, the time is urgent, hurry back to study." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little mare rode out in the dust.

When Liu Dan saw it, he hurriedly waved the horsewhip and whipped it on the mule, "Drive!" ”

Jiang Lili held on to the baffle of the car, watching Chen Fan's figure getting farther and farther away, her heart couldn't help but sink, and then looked at the letter in her hand, it seemed to be a thousand weights.

……

When they returned home, it was still relatively early, so Huang Ying and the others gathered together to continue their studies.

Chen Fan went up to the second floor, thinking about how to deal with it.

After a while, Jiang Lili came over and stood not far in front of him, wanting to say something, but couldn't open her mouth.

Chen Fan raised his head to look at her, and after a few seconds of pause, he suddenly smiled, "Why is it lifeless?" ”

Jiang Lili took a deep breath and looked at him in a daze, and after a few more seconds, she spoke, "What happened just now?" ”

As soon as the words came out, even she herself was startled.

It turned out that the voice was so hoarse that it could only be barely heard.

When Chen Fan saw her like this, he quickly stood up and poured a glass of water, walked over and handed it to her, and said softly, "Don't worry, drink saliva to moisten your throat." ”

Jiang Lili looked at him, and after a long while, she lowered her head weakly, "I don't want to drink." ”

Chen Fan put the water cup on the table, coughed dryly, and said to her, "Comrade Jiang Lili, raise your head." ”

Jiang Lili raised her head and looked at him blankly.

Chen Fan's face changed, and he said, "You guessed right, someone wrote a letter to complain and didn't want you to sign up for the college entrance examination,......"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Lili's eyes turned red, and she quickly covered her mouth and cried out loud.

It's just that the voice is very small, for fear of being heard.
