The next day, Li Dali took his wife to the health center for an examination, and it was confirmed that his wife was pregnant.

He was so happy that he was so happy that he carried his wife back home. He wished that the baby in her belly would ripen in October, so that he could hold the baby in his arms and love him enough.

He Songye was very embarrassed and tugged at her husband's ear.

"Don't, don't do this... I can go."

Li Dali said: "I'm happy to carry it, you can rest in peace."

While checking out the fetus, the doctor also reminded He Songye not to work too hard. During this period of time, she had been working so hard that she wished that she could be separated into two and use the sewing machine all day long after finishing the farm work.

After returning home, Li Dali told everyone the news. The good news was undoubtedly exciting. Grandma's face became lightened rarely, and she laughed heartily.

Zhao Lanxiang, who received this good news, was also very pleasantly surprised, because except for her and her eldest sister, there was no child in her previous life. In their old age, the knees of the two were empty, and there was a kind of sympathy for each other. She has waited for the good news of Sister He all her life, and was happy for Sister He from the bottom of her heart.

As for He Songbai, he looked at the haggard face of the eldest sister, and immediately decided to kill a chicken to nourish her.

Since the brigade divided the fields, everyone has been staring at who has a few chickens. So He Songbai hugged ten chicks in one breath and raised them slowly. Two died in the spring, and now there are eight left. The chickens in late autumn have just changed to new feathers. They are just big, neither too old nor too tender.

Zhao Lanxiang carefully boiled a pot of chicken soup, and thanks to Sister He, the whole family tasted the taste of chicken that day.

Zhao Lanxiang, who is well versed in food supplements, stewed nutritious soup for Sister He every three days, and quickly made up the haggard Sister He with a red face.

The whole family is looking forward to this child, whether it is the Li family or the He family. Li Dali is very old, and it is really not easy to have children at this age. The way he expects children is to work hard to save money for the children, and he will not let his wife do the heavy work.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but everyone's heart is hot, especially the educated young people who are preparing for the college entrance examination. In the short two months of preparation time, they can't wait to break the time into two petals, and race against time to review, hoping to borrow This changes fate.

Among them, the older ones are already very old, and there are also 17- or 18-year-old boys, but without exception, they cannot absorb the knowledge of several years of middle school in just two months, even those who have read the textbooks. Not enough time.

Wu Liangping jokingly said: "We have to relax our minds, there is a saying that 'a red heart, two hands ready'"

He mentioned this sentence when he was explaining knowledge to everyone at the educated youth point, and it calmed everyone's review mentality.

In this year's college entrance examination, almost all unmarried educated youths in Hezitun signed up. As promised, they squeezed a dollar for the registration fee from their teeth and handed it to the village party secretary. Fortunately, the fields are divided this year, so there is no need to wait until the end of the year to divide the grain, otherwise this dollar will still be a big burden.

The new village party secretary said with a bright face: "No registration fee!"

"Comrade D, the great leader, considered the majority of poor students and decided to allocate funds to reduce the registration fee for everyone."

These days, the fee for mimeographing the test papers is not cheap, and the cost of manual invigilation to change the test papers is not too high. In addition to the decision to reduce or exempt the registration fee, there was also such a dramatic scene: for a country that has implemented a planned economy for many years, the people from the Ministry of Education were suddenly stumped by taking out tens of millions of test papers in one go. In the end, Comrade D decided to suspend the printing of the fifth volume of the Red Book, freeing up the paper for the candidates to use.

This made many college entrance examination candidates feel warm in their hearts, and cherished the opportunity of this examination.

This year's college entrance examination is destined to be different. It was not held in the hot summer, but was completed by tens of millions of candidates enduring the harsh cold of the twelfth lunar month and mid-winter, shaking in dilapidated classrooms.

The examination room in Hezitun is located in a nearby elementary school. The light is weak, and oil lamps must be lit during the day.

In the twelfth lunar month, when the water dripped into ice, the ink used by Zhao Lanxiang was so frozen that it blocked the pen, so she could write fluently by warming the tip of the pen with hot water in advance. In the dilapidated small classroom, educated youths of varying ages are immersed in writing, but most of them are people who frown deeply and stare at the papers in a daze.

too difficult!

How do they know what the five countries adjacent to China are? Apart from filling in the Soviet Union, they can only stare at the remaining four blanks and stare at the ocean. The geography part of the exam failed a large number of people.

In the language test, He Songbai took the paper and read it carefully, answering each question without hesitation. There are only three questions on the basis of language. The first question examines sentence making, the second one is to appreciate and analyze a sentence from a poem, and the last one is classical Chinese translation. After writing these three questions, the rest is 70 points of free-choice essay questions.

He stared at the words "Dedicated to the Chairman" and "Contribute to the Four Modernizations" on the test paper. He chose the latter without hesitation, and quickly wrote a full page.

Zhao Lanxiang and He Songbai were assigned to the same examination room. In fact, there were only ten or twenty people who actually signed up for the team. After she finished writing, she secretly looked at him out of the corner of the eye, trying to find out from his expression whether he was sure.

Although Zhao Lanxiang also went through the college entrance examination back then, decades have passed, and she was blinded by the exam questions, and she couldn't help him with the questions at all. These questions may seem like play to students in later generations, but it is rare for candidates who have not read for many years and only reviewed them for two months. Of the more than 10 million candidates, only less than 5% were admitted in the end.

But in such a difficult mode, he not only needs to ensure that he can pass the test, but he also has to do well in the test. If He Songbai is not ranked in the county, he will basically miss the university.

After an exam, Zhao Lanxiang was even more nervous than her own exam.

After finishing the Chinese test, Zhao Lanxiang was worried, but she didn't show it. She only asked casually while eating, "How do you feel?"

He Songbai saw the uncontrollable curiosity in the object's eyes, and couldn't help but laugh.

He said: "The problem is a little more difficult..."

Speaking of which, He Songbai caught a glimpse of the subject's slightly changed eyes, and calmly remedied: "However, hold on."

Zhao Lanxiang didn't answer him either. Although everyone was right after the exam, the two of them slipped home first.

Three days later, this vigorous and hasty college entrance examination came to an end.

He Songbai should still work and work, sleep and sleep. He didn't feel disappointed or lost at all, nor did he feel proud and complacent. Compared with Wu Liangping on the other side, he looked through the book to find the answer, and got a result with a high accuracy rate. Zhao Lanxiang's heart is just up and down.

She knew that this kind of emotion was incorrect, and she couldn't hope that He Songbai would do well in the exam, so she couldn't hope that others would do better than him. Everyone speaks according to their ability... Well, speaking according to their ability, she feels that the hope of He Songbai defeating Wu Liangping, who has been insisting on studying, is extremely slim.

Zhao Lanxiang thought about "vaccinating" He Songbai, and she persuaded him: "If you don't go to college this year, don't be discouraged."

"After all, there are still many opportunities. If you can't do it this year, then wait for next year. The policy next year may be better."

Next year's college entrance examination will add an English subject. This subject can help many people, but it is an advantage for He Songbai. He has a grandmother who graduated from a college in country M, and English is almost his second mother tongue.

He Songbai nodded and said sincerely, "It's okay."

"The big deal is to go home and continue raising pigs."

He said faintly, as if he had already accepted his fate, and was completely mentally prepared to fail the exam. This made Zhao Lanxiang, who had prepared a belly of comforting words, suddenly useless.

What kind of experience is it for a man to be too self-aware

This Zhao Lanxiang felt that if he failed the exam, she would not be able to postpone her student status for a year and wait for him to enroll together.

The vigorous college entrance examination was buried in He Songbai's hustle and bustle for a living, and the emotions after the test came and went quickly for He Songbai.

A few days later, Zhao Lanxiang unexpectedly received a letter from Jiang Li.

She said in the letter: "Dear Comrade Zhao: It's like meeting a letter. Although I lost my qualification as a worker, peasant and soldier student last year, my fate made me participate in this year's college entrance examination. I remember that it was about this time last year. You promised me. If you pass it, you will definitely be admitted to the university. I hope you can apply for the Z university in G city. In addition, I will go back to Hezitun in a while, see you then!"

She was probably used to adding the finishing touch, but remembering who the letter was written to, she tried to cross it out again.

Zhao Lanxiang stared at the material support and couldn't help but laugh.

She thought that Jiang Li probably didn't come to see her, but just made an excuse to come to Hezitun. Thinking of this, when she went to the county to give the cakes to Li Zhong, she mentioned to Tang Qing by the way:

"Jiang Li may come to the country in a few days. We are all friends. Can you come back for a get-together when you have time?"

Tang Qing heard the words, his eyes were clear, and he generously invited Zhao Lanxiang to eat dumplings at the state-run restaurant.

When Zhao Lanxiang asked Tang Qing about Pan Yu, Tang Qing replied embarrassedly, "This fellow from Hezitun hasn't come to see me a few times."

"It's weird, she's very wary of men, she feels like an old feudalist. I can't help her, and she hasn't taken the initiative to find me. She's got a job as a teacher now, so she should be fine. Not bad."

Zhao Lanxiang was silent for a while after listening.

"That's good."

Some injuries have occurred, which may be stubborn diseases that cannot be resolved in a lifetime, but she still hopes that Pan Yu can let her go and start a new life.

After Zhao Lanxiang finished eating the dumplings, he returned to Hezitun.

The teachers of the college entrance examination paper revision group worked overtime day and night, and hurriedly completed the examination papers before the Spring Festival holiday. The two long months of rewriting the book passed by with a swoosh. Before the twelfth lunar month Laba, the college entrance examination results of N city were released.

The news spread very slowly these days, and it was passed down layer by layer. By the time the news arrived, the educated youth were about to return to their hometowns.

But there are always a few people whose results are spread very fast, and good news comes from the educated youth point just a few days after the results are released.

Wu Liangping was admitted to the university with a high score!

Zhao Lanxiang was so heartbroken that she waited and waited, and finally the person who announced the good news came to the He's house.

Zhao Lanxiang's heart was overjoyed and hung in the air. Is this her good news, He Songbai's good news, or her and He Songbai's good news
