This is the first time that the twins have been away from their mother for such a long time, and they are still young. Su Hui comforted them, but after comforting them, he also gave them a blow: "You will grow up soon, and after you grow up, you will be separated for such a period of time. It’s common, get used to it, we all have our lives.”
Zhang Anguo immediately found a rebuttal: "That's what happens when we grow up. We are still children." The two of them are children. Although they usually consider themselves adults, in front of their mother, they are always child!
Well, you are still children now, and you are indeed still a few years away from adulthood.
After taking a bath and eating porridge, Su Hui lit the lamp: "Let me tell you something about this time..."
Then they took out the gift their brother gave them, and she also had a gift, which was a tutorial book she specially picked.
"Study hard, I also inquired about some other university information, you can refer to it, and set your goal in the capital, but not all of them must be limited to the capital university, right?"
The twins looked at each other: "We haven't thought about university yet, nor have we decided on a major."
"It's still a long time. You can think about it slowly. If you choose one you are interested in, you will have to get in touch with it for at least a few years. If you don't like it, you will have a hard time."
"Your brothers are in college now, I let them pay attention, and they may have some suggestions by then."
The majors at this time are definitely not as diverse as those of later generations, and the choices are quite limited. However, most of the college students now come out as cadres, and most of them enter the system. However, there are different ways to enter the system. Up for promotion, one is to enter a state-owned enterprise, and you can also do research...
In this era, no matter which way is better, it will be easier to go.
Seeing that it is reform and opening up, it is time to vigorously develop economic construction.
They went to bed late that night, and the twins barely got up the next day.
After Su Hui had breakfast, she took presents and went to school. During the time she was away, two helpers who taught the senior grades took over as substitutes.
There was no substitute fee, but she promised to give them both a pen from the Capital Department Store.
The number of newly enrolled students this year has broken through the highest value ever.
Because the college entrance examination has resumed, reading is a smooth path that can be seen with one eye. If you have the talent for reading, take the college entrance examination and be admitted to a college student, you will be stable for a lifetime.
This is a good sign.
People in class are generally more serious now, and teachers are more responsible, which is different from the time when they were dawdling.
The two teachers who taught the upper grades were very happy to receive her pen.
They are a little younger than Su Hui, because they went to the countryside earlier, they took root in Li Village and started a family very early, and they also have children who are in school, so they are reluctant to use such a good pen.
After taking a half-day class, I also chatted with them a few gossips, saying that the half-day class will be changed to a one-day class if there is a trend, but there is no conclusion yet, and everyone's consent is required for this.
It takes half a day to earn work points, which can add up to a lot, especially now that their village has a side job of burning tiles, the work points are extremely valuable.
After school, Su Hui went to see the private plot after cooking and finishing her own lunch.
The private plot was well taken care of when she was away, and the weeds were pulled out not long after they emerged. The soil that should be loosened and watered should be watered, and there is no place for her to play. .
Then Su Zhong and Su Qianming came over.
Su Qianming's complexion was not very good. He was very happy when Su Zhong came back yesterday, and then he was taken aback by the money he took out.
Su Zhong secretly gave him the money, and he didn't dare to tell others that Su Qianming was furious.
He is happy to have so much money, but happy to be happy, this money is hot, if this is discovered...
I spent most of the night tossing and turning, not knowing where the money is hidden, what should I do if someone finds money of unknown origin
He was very worried. He didn't expect his son to be soft-hearted. Being pushed by his sister, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so he agreed.
Daughter is too bold, what if something happens
The daughter saw that this good day was coming.
No, watching the time, he dragged Su Zhong over.
Then he was almost persuaded by his daughter, who said: "The time is different now, you don't need to be a warlord, look how long it has been since anyone was criticized, and now they are all rehabilitated, those people in the cowshed in our village go back There are quite a few of them, and the remaining ones may go back soon, the college entrance examination was originally cut off, but now the college entrance examination has resumed."
"Where was such a situation illegal in the past? From ancient times to the present, merchants have always existed. The previous period was a special period and will be canceled soon."
"Don't worry, I'm a person who knows how to measure. If I'm not sure, how can I do this? I'm saving some capital for my family. The two younger ones will also take the college entrance examination next year. With their grades, they will pass the exam." University is not difficult, I hope they all go to the capital, where the four brothers can reunite, and I also want to go to the capital to develop.”
It was the first time for the two of them to hear her talk about her future plans, and both of them had shocked expressions on their faces. The original lecture had long been forgotten somewhere, and Su Qianming unconsciously repeated her words: "You also want to go to the capital to develop. ... How do you go to the capital to develop?"
Su Qianming did not deny it outright, saying that she was whimsical, but asked her how to develop.
"Here you are a teacher. The teacher is easy and doesn't give you money, but you have a high salary. Now the situation in your village is much better than that in other villages. You still have half a day to do your own things."
Su Hui said here: "Now I'm considering changing to a full-time system. The college entrance examination has resumed. It only takes half a day to study, and the study is not thorough enough."
Su Qianming: "Even if it is changed to a full-time system, it will be much easier than going to the field. You can't get the sun or the rain. If you go to the capital, how will you live?"
Su Zhong: "That's right, sister, the capital is very prosperous, but the four of them get university subsidies enough for themselves. What can you do there to make a living? It's hard to find a job, even in the capital, there are wolves. few."
Su Hui: "This is the current plan. We can look at it later. There is still one year before that time. Many things can happen in one year."
Su Hui showed a meaningful smile on his face: "I have already seen some educated youths who returned to the city early in the capital. They did not pass the university entrance examination, but they were allowed to go back. After returning to the city, there is nothing to do. There are not enough people. The factory recruits workers, what can they do? It’s okay now, if more people return to the city, this will be an unstable factor. They have been in the countryside for a long time, and there is no place for them at home, and they have no jobs and no ties. , It is easy to cause trouble, and the state will definitely introduce corresponding measures, recruitment? It is unrealistic to recruit all of them into the factory, and it is more likely to let them fend for themselves and open an opening."
"Have you read the newspaper recently? Now the tone of the newspaper is different. I think there will be good news soon. There is still time. I can plan slowly. If I am not sure, I will not leave home rashly." .”
Su Qianming looked at Su Hui in a daze, is this his daughter? This is his daughter, and she is not what she used to be.
Now she is also a person who has seen the world, has her own thoughts, has her own independent views, does not need to rely on others, and can make decisions independently.
His heart is sour and soft, he is relieved that the child has grown up, and he also feels sad that he is no longer needed by the child.
It's a strange mood to be parents. Sometimes I hope they will grow up quickly and be independent, and sometimes I hope they will never grow up and rely on me for the rest of my life, living happily under the protection of my own wings.
Su Hui: "Dad, I think you can pay more attention. Is it possible that you will stay in this village for the rest of your life? This village is the same, and that's what you see and hear. Only when you go out will you know how big the world is." Expansive, Shi Wei and Ban Xia should also yearn for the outside world."
Shi Wei and Ban Xia are also students, the older one is eighteen this year, freshman in high school, and they are about to take the college entrance examination.
He went to junior high school before, and later said he didn't want to go to school, but seeing the resumption of the college entrance examination, he was asked to go back and continue his studies, thinking that he would be admitted to a university.
Su Zhong's heart moved when he heard this, he went to the capital, saw the vastness and prosperity there, and then looked at this small mountain village, he felt a clear gap.
The children there have a lot of experience. There are many buses, amusement parks, zoos, and all kinds of food.
When he told the two children about this, they were stunned for a while. Last night, sticking to him made him talk a lot.
They yearn for the prosperity outside, if, if...
Su Qianming was stunned.
So much time has passed in the blink of an eye, his children have grown into reliable adults, and his grandson has also grown up, wanting to see the world outside, so it has been so long, decades in a flash.
Shouldn't he have stayed in the village all the time
It's been so long since the past, things have long changed, he shouldn't stop it, how can he ask the child to stay in the country all the time
He came aggressively and left in a daze.
Su Zhong gave his sister an admiring look, and followed Su Qianming back.
Then Su Hui cleaned up what needed to be done at home, and started making dinner early as the time was almost up.
Calculated the time and prepared the meals, and then left a note telling the twins to go home directly to their grandparents, and she went to the old house.
Dawei circles around her all day today, not going anywhere, and follows her when she sees where she is going.
In a way, Dawei is also very clingy.
When she arrived, Wu Chuchu was at home in the old house, and there were two young children from Zhang Gui's family, which meant that Wu Chuchu took three children with her.
However, Zhang Gui's son is already 7 years old, and he doesn't need to take care of him. Children of this age have already run all over the village.
Seeing Su Hui coming, Wu Chuchu was a little surprised: "Second Aunt, you are here, what are you holding?"
"Eating here tonight, I brought two dishes over."
Wu Chuchu was curious: "What kind of dish is this?"
"I bought the hair vegetables in the capital. We don't have this kind of thing here. It's from the north. I exchanged some of the things I brought with others, so everyone can try something new."
Wu Chuchu: "Let's see, the name Facai is real, it looks very similar to hair."
Then her eyes moved to another dish.
Another dish is ham with fungus. Chop the ham into minced meat and fry it evenly with the fungus. It is very fragrant.
"This ham was given by a friend. He used to be an educated youth. Later, a unit took over and went back early. His family belongs to the capital."
This network of people is all over the capital! Wu Chuchu smiled brighter at Su Hui.
Smelling the smell of meat, the two little ones looked around.
Zhang Gui's daughter: "Second Aunt, what kind of food is this?"
"It's ham, but you can eat it later, when grandparents come back."
"What is ham? Is ham meat?"
"Yes, ham is meat."
The sound of sniffing became more obvious. It's meat. No wonder it smells so good. Why haven't grandparents come back? Can't wait.
Su Hui didn't have anything to say to Wu Chuchu, so she asked her, "What were you doing just now? I'll help."
She waved her hand: "No, no, I'll just come. I'm going to make dinner."
Su Hui: "I'll show you the fire."
Wu Chuchu couldn't refuse.
It didn't take long for Zhang Gen and the others to come back from the ground, and Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo followed them in.
"There were a lot of people yesterday and I was tired, so I didn't say much." Su Hui took out the photo: "This is a photo we went to take, and we took two places, one is the Great Wall, the other is ***, and other places No shot."
"Yes, it's good to have these two, and it's expensive to take pictures." Li Manfen said, eyes glued to them.
The capital, the Great Wall, ***, that's where the leaders live.
"These are all cut from newspapers, and the ones above are the scenery and buildings of the capital." A group of people looked at the two photos together, eager to see the flowers.
Su Hui took out this.
This was not collected by Su Hui on purpose, it was a gift from Lin Jingnan to them, and it was collected when he was free.
Zhang Fenghua exclaimed: "There are pictures on it."
Su Hui: "Yeah." Although it's all black and white, there's nothing I can do about it, there are too few colorful things now.
That stack of things immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There are many places in the capital here. If you look more, it’s almost the same as what you saw with your own eyes.
Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo also watched it for a long time last night, and with their mother's commentary, they can speak clearly and logically now.
…
"I also went to the university in Weiguo. Baoguo's school is quite strict. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, so I didn't go inside. You can see students everywhere in Weiguo. They are all serious. They are reading while walking. They are in their teens. There are people in their twenties and thirties.” There is an age limit for the college entrance examination, and the upper limit cannot exceed 30, otherwise you will lose your chance.
"Some of them go to school with their families, and they get married and have children when they are old."
"I also met Xie Rui, an educated youth from our village. He took care of us and took us around a lot. He gave us this ham."
Everyone listened very carefully, whether it was Zhang Gen, Zhang Jinhua, or Zhang Xiaohua, they listened intently if they could understand, that is, the little dolls who couldn't understand at all, took this as background music and slept soundly.
The twins showed yearning expressions on their faces. They really wanted to go to the capital, they wanted to see their eldest brother and second brother, and they also wanted to visit their university.
Zhang Anguo looked at a photo of the gate of the Capital University when the first enrollment was reported, and his fingers tightened.
Among their brothers, Zhang Weiguo had the best academic performance, followed by Zhang Anguo, and Zhang Baoguo ranked ahead of Zhang Dingguo.
They have also done the test papers for the second brother. If he can maintain his current level, after hearing so much from his mother, he has the most favorable impression of Capital University. There are second brothers, grandpa Wen, and brother Xie. Capital University can give it a try. , but the fourth brother is a little worried.
Will he and his fourth brother be separated
The fourth brother has not yet decided what university to go to or what major he wants to study.
But it doesn't matter, even if they are not in the same school, in the same city, in the same place, we can still meet each other often. According to what my mother said, there are many universities in the capital.
Zhang Jinhua and Zhang Fenghua also looked envious. One of them repeated the first year of high school, one was going to take the college entrance examination next year, and the other was going to take the next year's college entrance examination. They were not far away, and they were very yearning for university.
But Zhang Jinhua also has self-knowledge, he can't get such a high score at all, so forget about such a good university.
Zhang Jinhua had thought about whether to take some universities in remote places to increase his admission rate, but now that he has calmed down, he still wants to stay in the province as much as possible.
It was too far, and he was a little flustered.
The most important thing is to improve his grades, so that he can pass the exam without choosing such a remote school.
After listening to what the second aunt said so much, he looked at the twins, he repeated, so now he is in the same class as the twins, and the people he has already studied are not as good as those who are so much younger than him, who came up from the first year of high school cousin.
He was ashamed when the results came out, but now he was thinking about another question: "Second Aunt, if there is something I don't understand, can I go over and discuss it with An Guo Dingguo and the others? Just like Feng Hua."
He chose to propose it in public. On such an occasion, Second Aunt probably wouldn't refuse him.
Su Hui did not refuse. Didn't Zhang Fenghua directly agree when he proposed to go to her
This depends on their self-awareness.
As for finding a personal trainer for the whole process, that's another matter.
Zhao Laidi was a little nervous when Zhang Jinhua proposed it, fearing that Su Ani would directly reject it because of some conflicts with her, so she breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed.
Zhang Dingguo was next to her, noticed the movement, and laughed in his heart, his cousin is older than himself, but he doesn't know as much as himself, before his aunt always pulled them to praise him, now it turns out that they are the best of.
Zhou Xiaoqing acted as a background board throughout the whole process. She only listened with one pair of ears, and basically did not speak. What is there to say, for fear that others will not notice her
Looking at this lively scene, she seemed like an outsider, watching all this soberly and detachedly.
On the other side, Zhang Weiguo quickly integrated into the life of the school. In the dormitory, there are 6 people in the dormitory, two of them are from the capital, and the other 4 are from all over the world.
Zhang Weiguo is from the south, one is the north, one is the midwest, and the other is the east coast.
Among them, the oldest one was 28 years old, married and had children. Because of his age, he automatically became the head of their dormitory and the eldest brother, while Zhang Weiguo was 15 years old, and became the little brother of their dormitory.
In view of his young age, he will take special care of him, and this little brother is not naughty at all, he is sensible, and he studies hard. If there is any good thing, he will share it with them. This good thing includes learning points , also includes specialties.
Several of their specialties are different and will be exchanged with each other.
Zhang Weiguo did not expect that the five-spice pumpkin seeds he brought would become the most popular specialty in the dormitory.
They took all these five-spice pumpkin seeds with them when they set off. One bag was for the car to pass the time, and the other bag was for him to eat here. After he took it out, it was surprisingly popular. I love to grab a few and chew slowly.
Their courses are quite full, and everyone is very active in electing class cadres. Zhang Weiguo doesn't want to be active, he is very busy, and his age is at this point. They are the same, but there are also differences, that is, they did not resign. They became students after taking the college entrance examination as cadres.
Zhang Weiguo still kept his old good habit of getting up early every morning to go for a run to exercise. He also found a lot of friends, and together they strode forward and sweated in the morning breeze facing the rising sun.
As for his double major, he will have to wait until the end of this semester and then apply based on his performance this semester. If he doesn't do well in his major, let alone the second major.
Zhang Weiguo would live in the dormitory most of the time, and then when his eldest brother had a rest once a month, he would live with Grandpa Wen together.
The two brothers cook together, and each of them will buy some vegetables first and bring them over.
There is nothing wrong with Grandpa Wen being able to take care of himself, but the quality of life is not good.
The meals he made by himself are really just ready to eat when they are cooked, and it is troublesome to go to restaurants every day, and people will talk about them when they see them.
Xueqing was once bitten by a snake, and she didn't want others to stare at her at all.
In college, their brothers dare not slack off, dare not lag behind. To be honest, they lived the most relaxed and comfortable life when they walked around with their mother before school started, but now they are all under pressure.
But pressure also represents motivation.
Zhang Weiguo was full of motivation.
He also specially made some notes for his two younger brothers to let them study hard. He will try his best to go back during the winter vacation, and then he will check them. If the two of them have regressed in their studies, then we will wait and see.
At the end of October, Wu Chuchu spread good news. Less than half a year after giving birth to her daughter, she became pregnant again.
This news has no effect on Su Hui, her life is still the same as before.
Su Hui went to the urban area, and during the busy time on the way to the capital and back, her mustard seed space has accumulated quite a lot, including rice, sugar, cornmeal, wheat and so on.
She also specially brewed a batch of wine with grain. The price of the wine is not low, and she can sell it at a price that satisfies her.
When she went to the provincial capital, Xiao Gu didn't notice anything wrong.
Su Hui came here at the same frequency before, and he excitedly said to Su Hui: "The people in our city who were inspected before are gone now, and it is much more peaceful. It is similar to what you said before. I don't know if the limelight is about to change completely. Now, some of them are not very hidden, if they are seen, they will be treated as if they have not seen, tell me, will the ban be lifted soon?" He wanted to get some inside information from Su Hui.
Su Hui seemed to agree: "Maybe."
Xiao Gu became even more excited. Now speculation is a crime, but it was normal for businessmen to do business before. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are at the bottom, and that is also an important group. It would be best if they can return to normal. Speculation has helped him get out of a difficult life, and now it has become his career. Of course, he hopes that his career can be aboveboard and there is no need to sneak around.
so…
"Do you have any more? I can still eat."
During this period of time, his business has improved a lot, but high-quality goods can only be obtained from here.
Su Hui complied with his wish and gave him almost twice as much goods as before.
Then she went to Brother Hu, and she had already made plans.
After going to the capital, the business here will definitely not be able to sustain, but it doesn't matter, she will have a wider platform when she arrives in the capital.
So if he wanted a large amount, he ordered a larger amount, and got more cash back.
In exchange for a large amount of cash, she went to pick and choose from the villain's book stall owner. Now she collects not only high-quality gemstones and jade, but also gold.
Gold doesn't need any jewelry, she just accepts gold bars and small yellow croakers that don't have anything, common.
Behind the urban area is the provincial capital. The lives of the grandparents of the Shen family are much better. People who were afraid to avoid their family before have more or less come out to speak for them. Compared with before, they have made great progress in terms of form. , and now their daily life is self-sufficient.
Su Hui used to sell medicine.
Now her main customer has become the intelligence dealer. He likes wine, she has wine, he has goods, she wants goods, and both parties are happy.
He was very happy to see her coming, and of course he is happy now that the situation is better.
He accepted all the fine wine that Su Hui brought over.
Su Hui wandered around the provincial capital twice, but did not see anyone wearing red armbands.
She was wandering on the road, but unexpectedly saw a familiar person.
He used to be the red armband, and blocked her and Shen Chengfeng. He was one of the four people who arrested Shen Chengfeng when they first met.
Now he took off the red armband on his sleeve, wearing ordinary clothes, just like other ordinary people, walking normally, and he also saw someone suspected of trading.
He must have rushed out to arrest people immediately before, but now he turns a blind eye.
What does this represent
Su Hui's mood index rose a few more points.
By December, 1978 is destined to be a day that needs to be remembered. A meeting was held to confirm the policy of reform and opening up. Since 1978, the land has been full of spring.
The impact of this incident will be seen in all aspects in the long run, but for now, the biggest impact on her is the return of the educated youth to the city.
In the past, educated youths had to go back to the city with a letter of introduction, which stated the return time. If they stayed longer than that, they would be refugees and would be sent back. Now they can go back to the city by themselves, as long as they say they want to go back and take care of their families.
When Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo were at the end of their semester, Liu Yanxin ran away. Before he ran, he was the same as usual. He also said that he was not feeling well and wanted to lie down at home. After lying down, he found that he was gone when he came back. His clothes, And the money in the family is gone. Obviously, he doesn't want this family here anymore.
This is not an isolated case. Such things happen in every village in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. They are eager to go back. The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. Very few people can walk on that bridge. Some of them can only be trapped in the countryside. Now that the policy has changed and they can go back to the city, how can they bear it
This is a wave that cannot be changed.
But it also made the educated youth synonymous with heartless people in the countryside.
The impact on Su Hui is that the hearts of her two colleagues are fluctuating.
They are also educated youth.
Do you want to go back
If you want to go back, you basically have to abandon everything here, because you can’t take it with you, so what do you do for a living
After several struggles, one of them took a long vacation to go home, but finally came back.
After so many years, her home has also changed a lot, and this is her destination.
Then, the rehabilitation of other people in the cowshed also came, and they went back one after another, and the cowshed really became a cowshed, only the cows were there.
Newspapers can often read about the latest current affairs policies, educated youths are allowed to return to the city, and there are a few sporadic stalls in their town, but these are all despised existences.
Anything is not accepted and looked down upon at the beginning, but their business is also real.
Some people can't bear the pressure and don't do it. Some people have tasted the sweetness and refuse to let go, and ignore rumors and gossips.
Su Hui is happy to see such things come to fruition, she was strict at the beginning, but when it became a common phenomenon later on, she didn't have the time to point and point at everyone.
When she goes to the capital to do business, the environment will be much better than it is now.
Su Hui often pays attention to these news, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo are not so free, they both concentrate on their studies.
Zhang Dingguo is the most nervous. He doesn't want to fall behind too much. Their twin brothers have never been separated from their mother's womb. He doesn't want to be separated from him. The third brother already has a goal, but he hasn't. I want to be with the third brother, so his school is also set, which is also the Capital University.
In terms of professionalism, the two of them have also thought about it.
Zhang Anguo chose the Capital Chinese Department, and Zhang Dinguo chose the Science Department of Capital University.
Now the liberal arts are the most popular, while the sciences are relatively less popular, and the scores will be lower. If he chooses to obey the adjustment, the admission rate will be higher.
This is the first choice, and the second choice is the university next door.
At his current level, his second choice should be fine.
It was also he who studied hard, and his grades finally improved a little. He could think about Capital University, otherwise he would not have written his first choice as Capital University.
During this period of time, the two of them were doing questions, giving lectures, and repeating cycles between doing questions and giving lectures.
Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo, who couldn't spare enough time to come back for the New Year during the winter vacation, also did their best for their two younger brothers, sending materials intermittently, and some of them still had a lot of notes and experiences.
I kept immersing myself in my studies, and the time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the summer of 1979. The third college entrance examination came.
