In the study on the second floor, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at Jiang Lili, who forcibly suppressed her emotions but couldn't control them.

She arrived here at the age of 14 and has been there for nearly four years, and according to unwritten rules, she will stay for at least another three years.

But being able to return to the city after 7 years is just a theory.

The seal is in the hands of a person, and just because someone else can do it doesn't mean she can too.

From the first batch of educated youths in 55 years to the first batch of educated youths in 64 years to call on intellectual youth to go to the countryside, and then to the organized formation wave in 68 years.

During this period, I don't know how many people with the same background as her have been waiting for an opportunity, and some have even been staying up for more than ten years.

Now she finally waited for the opportunity to resume the college entrance examination, which brought her new hope, but at the moment of success, she was maliciously blocked, who can stand it?

Chen Fan sighed softly, and he didn't know where to persuade him.

She encountered problems at the beginning, some people have passed five levels and cut six generals, and they have been admitted, but they can only look at the door and sigh.

There are even those who finally entered the university and have been taking classes for a few months, but because of a few anonymous letters, they were forcibly dropped out,......

That's even more of a tragic word!

The reason why he firmly refused Mr. Guo's overtures and did not let Jiang Lili be admitted to Jiangnan University was because the distance was too close and the goal was too big, but as long as too many people knew that she was admitted to Jiangnan University, a letter after letter could make her unhappy.

Have you ever heard of a letter sent from Jiangsu to a university in Inner Mongolia?

The kind of perseverance!

Have you ever heard of a letter from Shanghai to a university in Nanjing?

The kind that all leaders have in their hands!

Have you ever heard of sending letters to universities in the capital from all over the country?

Most of the people who sent the letters were strangers who couldn't be beaten, and they "had the courage to fight" just for the "righteous indignation" in their hearts, and they didn't take money for stamps.

This year's anonymous letters, measured in "10,000", caused hundreds of people to leave the campus in disgrace.

Woohoo lament, it's outrageous.

Of course, there are a lot of lucky ones who are left behind.

As the cheesy but down-to-earth saying goes, "Because I've been drenched in the rain, I'm willing to hold an umbrella for others." ”

Countless classmates with the same background as Jiang Lili, or even worse than her, have spent their school time without danger under the firm protection of the school's teachers and leaders, thus changing their lives.

That's the luck of their lives.

But Chen Fan didn't know if Jiang Lili could meet this luck.

So he had to plan for her as much as he could.

When Jiang Lili's crying was not so urgent, Chen Fan took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe it." ”

Jiang Lili didn't know if she didn't hear it, and she didn't reach out to take it.

Chen Fan pursed his lips, directly pulled her hand away, wiped her tears, and said, "Go to the bathroom to wash your face, bring another coat, and I'll take you to the local committee." ”

The moment her fingers touched her face, Jiang Lili's face suddenly turned red and her mind went blank.

She panicked and snatched the handkerchief from his hand, turned around and ran to the bathroom next door.

Chen Fan went back to the room to get a coat, brought some things, put them in the backpack together, and when he came out, he happened to meet Jiang Lili, who had washed her face and was so red that her face could drip blood, smiled at her slightly, and walked down.

went down to the first floor, and asked Jiang Lili to get the clothes first, and then went to the tea table in the living room, and said hello to a few people, and without saying much, he left with Jiang Lili under the strange eyes of everyone.

The two arrived at the dock one after the other, until Chen Fan was in the engine, Jiang Lili listened to the roar, and then woke up like a dream, raised her head and looked left and right, and finally her eyes fell on Chen Fan's face, and whispered, "Where are we going?" ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look at her, turned to control the steering wheel, "Go to the local committee." ”

Although he knew a lot of people in the county, the Education Bureau did not have any acquaintances who could handle things, and the clerk of the school district office also said just now that the education department of the prefectural party committee might also receive a letter, so he simply went directly to the prefectural party committee and handled the matter together.

As for the people who pinned their hopes on the county bureau and the clerks in the school district office, they took the initiative to let them go, Chen Fan also thought about this possibility.

But he couldn't gamble on the kindness of others, and after thinking about it, he decided to do his work first.

When Jiang Lili heard his words, her brain, which had been messing around just now, finally came to her senses, looked at him and asked, "Is there a way?" ”

Chen Fan looked at her and said with a smile, "You forgot, Teacher Guo and Teacher He are in the Education Department of the Prefectural Party Committee, although they are not from the Education Department, but the brand of Jiangnan University is bigger than the Education Department, it should not be difficult to find them to help accommodate you, and it should not be difficult to get the admission ticket." ”

In fact, this year's policy is very clear, that is, "only look at individual performance and select the best". It's just that because there is no precedent, many people don't dare to let go of their courage, so many people are stuck in the original set in line with the principle of not doing well.

After this year, a large number of people like Jiang Lili were hired, and the relevant responsible persons were not only not punished, but were publicly praised, which made everyone see the situation clearly.

Wait until next year's college entrance examination, and such a thing will basically no longer happen.

Even the checkpoints of the political trial have been loosened a lot, as long as they are not illegal or criminal, or have a very bad reputation, they can pass smoothly in a situation like the Jiang family.

It's a pity that that was later.

However, now Chen Fan can rely on this article and go to an acquaintance for help.

Others are afraid that they will be settled after the autumn, he knows that he will not, as long as he can explain it clearly to Mr. Guo, with their wisdom, they will definitely understand this, and they can easily earn personal favors, why not.

And Jiang Lili was a little relieved when she heard Chen Fan's words.

Mr. Guo and Mr. He are both teachers at Jiangnan University, and they work in the Education Department all year round, so they should be able to help with this, right?!

……

But when the two of them rushed to the education office non-stop, Chen Fan only felt that the sky was thundering, "Teacher Guo and Teacher He are on a business trip?" ”

Teacher Su looked at the little girl behind him who was instantly pale, and then turned his eyes to Chen Fan, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, but he remained silent on the surface, and said with a smile, "I left the day before you came to the local committee to take pictures, and I was going to participate in the middle school textbook seminar to prepare for next year's textbook revision."

I heard that this was a closed meeting, and all the teachers who participated in the seminar cut off contact with the outside world until they reached a conclusion, so it should not be possible to come back in a short time. ”

Secondary School Textbook Seminar?

Chen Fan suddenly knew in his heart, at this time, there is a fart textbook discussion, and the compilation of textbooks still needs to be isolated from the world? He was sure in his heart that Teacher Guo and Teacher He were 100% involved in the preparation of college entrance examination papers, and only this kind of work required absolute confidentiality.

For the two teachers, such an opportunity is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to add a glorious stroke to their resumes, but also a very rare experience in their lives.

But why now?

With Chen Fan's mentality, he couldn't help but rub his face lightly and forcibly squeezed out a little smile, "Thank you, Teacher Su, then I'll come back when they come back." ”

After speaking, he was going to leave with Jiang Lili.

At this time, Teacher Su hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Guo specially told me about you before leaving, if you need any help, you can tell me." ”

Chen Fan pondered for two seconds, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I don't have anything to do, I just stopped by to have a look." Good bye. ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at Teacher Su and resolutely turned to leave.

When he got outside, he looked back at Jiang Lili with a gloomy face, and said softly, "I'm not familiar with Teacher Su, so it's inconvenient to ask him for help in this matter." ”

Jiang Lili raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." ”

Chen Fan took a deep breath, looked left and right at the traffic on the street, and saw that there was no one else around, and continued, "This kind of thing must be helped by someone who knows the roots, and it is best not to look for him until you are sure of Mr. Su's attitude towards this kind of thing." ”

After a pause, he said to her again, "It's okay, don't worry about it first, you also know that I have a good relationship with the leaders of the health department, they are all units of the prefectural committee, maybe you know someone who can talk in the education department, let's go to the health department to have a look." ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips, looked at his slightly tired face, and wanted to forget it, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

Chen Fan didn't care about guessing her thoughts, waved at her and walked forward.

took the bus to the health department, and when he arrived here, Chen Fan went to Yan Liyuan's office first as if he was home, but unfortunately he was not there, otherwise, a real leader of the health department would definitely be able to talk to the education department.

Yan Liyuan was not in the unit, and Chen Fan was not idle, so he turned around and went to the political engineering department to find Sister Zhou.

As soon as they entered the door of the political science and engineering department, a group of female comrades began to shout again, until they saw Jiang Lili hiding behind Chen Fan, they quickly reined in and put on a mature and steady appearance.

Sister Qin took two steps forward, approached Chen Fan, bumped him with her elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”

I didn't say hello, just take it here, this is not an ordinary relationship, right?!

Chen Fan smiled without looking back and said, "She is a student I took in Lujiawan and brought her here to do some errands." ”

After speaking, he gestured to Jiang Lili, "Little Jiang, say hello to my sisters." ”

Jiang Lili immediately politely bowed slightly and said hello, "Hello sisters, my name is Jiang Lili, just call me Little Jiang." ”

When Sister Qin and the others heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a student, so it was fine.

Lin Liwen and Xia Yuping, who were in the back, began to pour tea again.

However, some people did not completely dispel their doubts, and Sister Yu also came to him and whispered, "Is it really a student?" What are you bringing students here for? ”

Chen Fan smiled and said in a low voice, "I have a lot of students in Lujiawan, she is just one of them, isn't this going to register for the college entrance examination, there is a little problem, I want to come over and ask Sister Zhou, do you know anyone in the education department, help solve it." ”

said Sister Zhou, Sister Zhou walked out of the inner office, "As soon as I heard it, I knew that you were here." ”

She looked at Chen Fan as she spoke, then looked at Jiang Lili, who was standing at the door a little scared, and said with a smile, "Something's coming, right?" I can see that you came here with something just to see us, and you didn't carry anything in your hand, and it was 100% something. ”

With that, he walked back, "Come in." ”

Chen Fan couldn't interject when he heard her speak, and when she finished speaking, he beckoned to Jiang Lili and followed him into the office inside.

Lin Liwen and Xia Yuping also went in together with tea and put the tea on the desk, and then Xia Yuping didn't care that it was in the leader's office, so she smiled at Chen Fan, "Xiaofan, you are really amazing,......

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Liwen interjected, "Last time, you gave us a complete set of mathematics, physics and chemistry self-study books, and it didn't take long for the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination to be announced, did you receive the news in advance?" ”

Chen Fan snorted, "I did receive the news in advance, but didn't I come to inform you as soon as possible?"

That time was indeed a coincidence, you helped me so much, I just wanted to send something to express my gratitude, but I didn't know what to send you, and then suddenly thought of Sister Zhou said that you are all high-achieving students who graduated from secondary school, so I thought about sending you a set of materials, you should like it. ”

Even if it was the second time they heard this, Lin Liwen and Xia Yuping couldn't help but be embarrassed and slammed their toes on the ground.

Sister Zhou also gave them a long face, the technical secondary school is indeed a secondary school, but it is recommended, and it is not a high-achieving student.

Originally, the family thought that they would wait for them to work for two years and then use the quota of the unit to recommend them to go to college, but they did not expect that the college entrance examination would be suddenly resumed.

If it weren't for Chen Fan who gave each of them a set of self-study books on mathematics, physics and chemistry before, I am afraid that I would not even be able to figure out the direction of how to review, and I would only be a secondary school student in the future, and now I can fight a little.

And just because of this set of books, the "top students" who had never looked at them seriously before, even began to revolve around them, hoping to borrow books from them for review.

This is a gift from Chen Fan, how can it be lent out?

I wanted to refuse, but unfortunately some people have done the work of the adults in the family, so they can only promise that they can come to the house to copy, and in this way, they have received countless thanks.

Therefore, it is really hard to say who owes more favors to Chen Fan than the favors provided by the family before and the favors he gets now.

Xia Yuping opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but Sister Zhou began to drive people away, "When can't you catch up, you have to make up for this time?" Didn't you see that Xiaofan has something to do, go back and wait for the business to be done, you have time to talk. ”

The two of them smiled and walked out, closing the door with their hands.

Sister Zhou looked at Jiang Lili, who was a little cramped, and suddenly asked, "You are the youngest daughter of the former deputy director of the cotton mill, right?" ”

When Jiang Lili heard this, she suddenly panicked and couldn't help but look at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan smiled at her and turned his head to look at Sister Zhou, "Sister, have you seen it before?" ”

Sister Zhou leaned back and lifted Erlang's legs, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, before she said slowly, "A few years ago, I went to the cotton mill to run errands, and her father was still the deputy director at that time, and I had dealt with her several times, and I had also met her mother and sister. ”

Saying that, he suddenly smiled and said to Chen Fan, "Don't you know, at that time, her sister had just been admitted to the secondary school, and she was like a flower, and she was targeted by many people, and she wanted to propose marriage when she grew up." ”

Turning his head to look at Jiang Lili again, "My sister and sister look almost identical, but they lack a little spirit." ”

After saying this, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

At that time, Jiang Tiantian passed the entrance exam with the first place (after the registration of those who are recommended for admission, there will be an entrance exam, mainly to test the knowledge base), and when he is in high spirits, his mental state is naturally not ordinary.

And Jiang Lili has been in the countryside for three or four years, and today she has suffered such a big blow, so it is no wonder that her spirit is so good.

Even if they are all in trouble, the fate of the two sisters is a little different.

Chen Fan looked at Sister Zhou and understood her words.

She had some understanding of the Jiang family's situation, and probably guessed the reason why she brought Jiang Lili over.

In this case, it is not easy for him to take the initiative to speak.

If she can do it, she must have something to say, and if she can't do it, saying it herself will only add to her troubles.

Teacher Guo and Teacher He are not there, and the people over there are not compatible, if even Sister Zhou refuses, Chen Fan can only find another way, or find a high school for Jiang Lili again, and let her take next year's summer college entrance examination.

But if he does that, he still has to take a favor inside, and he will delay her for a year, which is not cost-effective.

Fortunately.

Sister Zhou turned her head to look at Chen Fan, with a three-point smile on the corner of her mouth, and said directly, "You brought her over, it shouldn't be related to hygiene, right?" ”

The smile on Chen Fan's face instantly bloomed, since Sister Zhou gave the talk, it means that this matter still has to be discussed.

He immediately smiled and said, "That's not, isn't this about to take the college entrance examination, I'm still a little troublesome about my student's registration, so I want to find the relationship of the Education Department to help." But I don't know anyone from the Education Department, so I can only ask you to come here. ”

Sister Zhou turned her head to look at Jiang Lili, her eyes were full of curiosity, "You, a student, how is your knowledge level?" ”

Chen Fan gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "It's definitely this, as long as she is allowed to take the college entrance examination, she will definitely be able to get in." ”

Sister Zhou looked at him again, "If she can take the college entrance examination, what university do she plan to apply for?" ”

Chen Fan glanced at Jiang Lili, turned his head and said, "You also know her situation, it's quite special, so I want her to report a farther place, whether it's the capital, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, in short, how far and how far to run." ”

Sister Zhou nodded slowly, "Well, if you are far away, you can also have less trouble, and it is best if no one knows where she went, then it is the best." ”

After a pause, she raised her head and looked at Chen Fan, "I know this matter in my heart, but now I can't give you an accurate answer, don't go back in the past two days, just live in the local commission, and I will inform you after I find a good person." ”

Then she looked at Jiang Lili again, "The best thing, don't go back, after all, you are the party, there is no reason to find someone to help, and even the party will not show his face." ”

Jiang Lili hurriedly nodded, "Uh-huh." ”

Then I was a little worried, if I didn't go back to Lujiawan, where would I be able to live?

If you can't go home, you will definitely be discovered by the people who care about the cotton mill, and the trouble will definitely get bigger and bigger.

Staying in a guest house?

But there's no letter of introduction?!

As soon as Chen Fan saw her face, he knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Sister Zhou asked you to stay, there will definitely be arrangements, why are you in a hurry." ”

As soon as Sister Zhou heard this, she gave him a pair of white eyes, "I didn't arrange it, I want to arrange it for you." ”

Jiang Lili was at a loss for a moment, but Chen Fan next to her smiled and said, "This is what you said, then I will arrange her in the guest house next door, I remember that there is a single room next to the cadre room, which is very good, or live there?" ”

Sister Zhou was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at him, "I haven't even lived in the cadre room, as soon as you come, it's like going home, if it weren't for the "First Aid Manual" to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, you see if the guest house will give you the green light!" ”

More than 100,000 yuan is just the money in hand, and a large amount of money has been handed over to the Provincial Health Department, for the leader in charge of logistics, Chen Fan is no less than a good money boy, plus the leader treats him differently, so he is naturally considerate.

And Chen Fan did not refuse to come, even intentionally.

Sometimes Qinggao can't close the distance, but will be estranged, Yan Liyuan and Sister Zhou are enthusiastic about him, and it also started when he took charge of the health department, and sometimes it is so subtle.

But Jiang Lili doesn't know about these situations.

When she saw that Sister Zhou actually scolded Chen Fan, her heart was suddenly full of bad feelings, and when she walked out of the health department, she was still depressed with her head down, and she was not happy at all because she had eyebrows about her own affairs.

Chen Fan walked in front, looked at the bus stop not far away, and said, "Let's go find your sister and ask her how the situation is over there, whether she has registered her name." ”

Even Jiang Lili has written anonymous letters, and there is no reason for Jiang Tiantian to be let go.

With that, he walked forward.

Just took two steps, and didn't hear the movement behind him, he turned around and looked at Jiang Lili who was depressed in confusion, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Lili moved over slowly, her teeth clenched on her lips, her head lowered and she was silent, her invisible eyes were full of struggling eyes.

Chen Fan was about to ask again, when he saw her raise her head, and said with a forced smile, "Xiaofan, I don't want to take the test." ”

Well?

Chen Fan's mind was full of question marks, he was so good just now, why didn't he want to take the test?

Without waiting for him to ask, Jiang Lili said, "Anyway, even if I am admitted, those people will not let me go, they will write letters to the school and the relevant units, and I will still have to return it when the time comes, so I don't want to take the test." ”

Chen Fan looked at her tearful eyes and sighed softly, "To be honest. ”

Jiang Lili lowered her head unconsciously, two lines of tears slipped from her face, "I'm telling the truth." ”

When Chen Fan saw her appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little impetuous, and he was so angry that he turned around with his hands on his waist.

But after standing still, I went to see her again, and my heart softened again.

After a pause of two seconds, he asked softly, "You don't want to take the test, and you don't want your sister to take the test?" ”

Jiang Lili was stunned for a moment, and she was completely at a loss for a while.

Chen Fan, "If I can solve the problem of your exam, I can solve your sister's problem together, since your sister can take the exam, then you will definitely be able to take the exam, why give up?" ”

After a few seconds, Jiang Lili muttered, "But, I don't want you to go around begging people." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, was it because of this reason?

He touched his head and said with a smile, "Just because of this, you don't want to take the test?" ”

Jiang Lili pierced her head even lower, not daring to make a sound at all.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and smiled at her, "Then you just think too much, I'm not going to ask for someone, but to give others the opportunity to beg me in the future." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili raised her head, her eyes full of puzzlement.

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe it first, otherwise if others see it, they will think I'm bullying you." ”

Jiang Lili quickly glanced around, and sure enough, many people were looking here, and she quickly took the handkerchief to wipe her face.

After she cleaned up, Chen Fan pointed to the front, "Let's go, talk as we go." ”

The two walked side by side to the bus stop, Chen Fan said softly, "You have to understand that this is different from the usual handing out half a bowl of rice to beggars, people are helping, not doing good deeds, but exchanging favors."

Don't think I'm begging someone, people who don't have the ability, no matter how much you ask someone, others won't reach out to help, on the other hand, people who have the ability don't need to speak, naturally someone is willing to lend a helping hand.

I went to find Sister Zhou, this is the case, because they are valuable, so I go to them, because I am valuable, so they are willing to help, and they may find me here in the future because of other things.

This is the exchange of favors, and there is a fundamental difference from asking for help, understand? ”

Jiang Lili pouted, glanced at him secretly, and quickly lowered her head, "But, she said that about you just now." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, "You mean Sister Zhou?" What does she say about me? ”

As soon as she mentioned this, Jiang Lili felt a wave of anger in her heart, "That's, that's it, she said that you live in the cadre's room." ”

When Chen Fan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, "Ouch, it turns out that you are angry because of this?" ”

He pointed back and said with a smile, "You don't know, Sister Zhou is talking to me like this, is it to seem closer, would you casually say such things to ordinary people?" ”

Jiang Lili only reacted at this time, shook her head slightly, and then looked at him and asked, "Really?" ”

Chen Fan smiled, "If she really had an opinion about me, she wouldn't have agreed to help, let alone offered to let us live here temporarily." Living in a cadre room too, who is she? Chief of the Political Affairs Section of the Ministry of Health! Even the logistics director is under her control, she doesn't let me live, and directly says hello to the guest house, I don't want to talk about the cadre room, I can't even live in the Chase Shop, believe it or not? ”

Jiang Lili tilted her head, thoughtful in her eyes, is this the case?

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, but his gaze was extremely soft.

I didn't expect this girl to be angry with Sister Zhou because of herself, and she was so angry that she didn't want to take the college entrance examination.

In terms of IQ, the Jiang sisters are the highest among the people Chen Fan met in Yunhu, but IQ is only about learning ability, social experience, and human sophistication, all of which need to be experienced to understand the truth.

In this regard, the elder sister is much stronger than the younger sister.

But it's no wonder Jiang Lili, after all, she went to Lujiawan after graduating from junior high school, and then she was isolated for a long time, Jiang Tiantian only taught her how to avoid trouble once a year, and her ability to deal with people is completely useless!

So much so that now, in terms of interpersonal communication, she is almost a blank slate.

But the more this happens, the more it seems that her emotions are sincere.

Chen Fan looked at her and felt warm in his heart, and after a few seconds, he said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to your sister and try to get things done together." ”
