There is still one month left before the college entrance examination.
There was a lot of commotion everywhere.
The educated youths have been sent to the countryside for ten years, and there is no prospect of returning to the city. There is no news. Many educated youths have chosen to marry and have children in rural areas out of desperation.
Now that the college entrance examination is suddenly resumed, which educated youth doesn't want to go to college or go back to the city
But what about those who have already established a family in the countryside
Rural men and women who married educated youths were also worried that their wives or husbands would never come back after returning to the city. Many of them stopped their lovers from taking the college entrance examination.
Among the married educated youths in Xiaheshu village, Yao Jiajia had already run away. Yun Hua and Bao Siqing decided to take the college entrance examination early, and no one would stop them. The other couple were Chen Hongxing, the daughter of the village party secretary Chen Fushan, and educated youth Xie Qingling.
Chen Hongxing cried and yelled not to let Xie Qingling take the college entrance examination and not let him go back to the city.
How could Xie Qingling stay in the countryside.
After Chen Hongxing cried a few times, Xie Qingling even moved out of Chen's house and moved back to the educated youth spot, because he had to take the college entrance examination.
Chen Hongxing went to the educated youth spot and yelled, saying that Murakami would not give Xie Qingling the registration form.
At this time, taking the college entrance examination also requires a registration form. Without the registration form, you cannot take the college entrance examination.
Xie Qingling was very angry and directly said that she wanted to divorce Chen Hongxing.
The two quarreled so loudly that the whole village knew about it.
However, the gaffe continued to escalate, and Chen Hongxing failed to make a fuss, so he chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river!
Now that the weather is getting colder, and the water level in the Wuli River is high, Chen Hongxing jumps whenever he wants.
When Xie Qingling rushed over from the educated youth spot, some villagers had already rescued Chen Hongxing.
Chen Hongxing's elder brother, Chen Hongqi, beat Xie Qingling severely and took Chen Hongxing back, but Chen Hongxing looked unlovable, crying and wanting to commit suicide.
Chen Fushan had no choice but to come to Yun Hua.
"Lin Zhiqing, think of a way and help me persuade Hong Xing, she admires you the most and listens to your words the most." Chen Fushan 1. Overnight, he aged a lot, and his whole body looked lifeless.
Parents are always the hardest when it comes to their children.
Chen Fushan burst into tears, "If I had known that the college entrance examination would be resumed one day, I should not have followed her wishes and asked them to get married."
Yun Hua thought for a while, "I'll try."
There is also a part of her cause and effect in this matter, but she is really not sure whether she can persuade Chen Hongxing. Some people get into a dead end, and they can't get out no matter what, unless there is a suitable time that she herself recognizes...
Yun Hua explained to Bao Siqing, and went to his house with Chen Fushan.
"Lin Zhiqing is here, sit down quickly, and I'll pour you tea." Aunt Fushan also looked haggard, her eyes were swollen from crying.
Chen Hongqi looked resentful, "If that Xie dares to reject my sister, I will kill him, and I told him not to take the Laoshizi college entrance examination for the rest of his life!"
"enough!"
Chen Fushan scolded, "Get out, don't cause trouble!"
Chen Hongqi looked unconvinced, and was dragged away by Aunt Fushan.
Chen Fushan pointed to Chen Hongxing's room, "She's inside, go in."
Yun Hua nodded and knocked on the door.
No one answered.
Yun Hua pushed the door in, then closed the door behind him.
In the room, Chen Hongxing was lying on the bed, neither speaking nor making any movements, completely dumbfounded.
Yun Hua sighed, poured hot water for her and walked over, "Hong Xing, let me talk to you."
Chen Hongxing didn't respond.
Yun Hua was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know why Xie Zhiqing wants to go to college and why he wants to go back to the city?"
Hearing the words Xie Zhiqing, Chen Hongxing finally reacted, and she looked at Yun Hua.
Yun Hua whispered: "Because for him, the city is his home. It is the place where he realizes his ideals and the value of life. In the past ten years, many educated youths have been forced to come to the countryside, but in fact they can Few have adapted to life in the countryside. From the day they started studying, all they wanted to do was to serve the motherland and achieve a career. They are intellectuals, but can this knowledge be applied in the countryside?"
Chen Hongxing pursed her lips.
Yun Hua said indifferently: "Their strengths are not in farming, but in other places. They can't carry their shoulders and hands, and they are no better than rural children than farming. Life in the countryside is a setback for them, and it is a challenge in life." Fail. They don't like that. Especially men."
Chen Hongxing's eyes turned red, "But what should I do? He wants to go back to the city, what should I do?"
Yun Hua looked at Hong Xing and said nothing.
Chen Hongxing bit her lip, "I know you want to say that I deserve it. When I was going to marry him, you persuaded me to think clearly. I said I don't regret it... I don't regret it now. I just want to marry him. I just want to marry him." I don't want him back in town, I want him to be with me forever."
"Do you not want him to return to the city, or do you not want him to leave you?" Yun Hua asked.
"Aren't they all the same?" Chen Hongxing said.
Yun Hua smiled, "It's different. If you just don't want him to go back to the city, then you're being too selfish. But if you don't want him to leave you... then it doesn't matter whether you go back to the city or not."
Chen Hongxing was stunned.
Yun Hua added, "Before this, did Xie Zhiqing talk to you about the college entrance examination?"
"He said..., I don't want to listen." Chen Hongxing said in a low voice, "I will quarrel with him as soon as he takes the entrance exam, and I don't want him to talk about it, and I don't want him to go back to the city."
Yun Hua was a little helpless, "Why don't you have a good conversation with him? Before that, he wanted to talk to you about the college entrance examination and the future of the two of you. He didn't ask you for a divorce, right? You forced him divorced you."
"I didn't!" Chen Hongxing retorted loudly, "I didn't force him, he was forcing me! He insisted on taking the college entrance examination and going back to the city, but he was forcing me!"
Yun Hua's face became serious, and she looked at Chen Hongxing intently, "Hongxing, calm down and be reasonable. You know what kind of person Xie Zhiqing is, and you will only push him further away if you mess around like this. Do you want a puppet husband who doesn't have you in his heart, or do you want a lover who is compatible and beautiful?"
"..."
Chen Hongxing's tears rolled down instantly.
Yun Hua's voice slowed down again, "What you want is Xie Zhiqing, it has nothing to do with whether he returns to the city or not. If he returns to the city, you can go back to the city with him. You are husband and wife! The distance between the city and the countryside, Can't you be separated, or do you just want Xie Zhiqing to stay in the country and be your family's son-in-law? If you really think so, then Red Star, you and Xie Zhiqing are really not the same way, and I also advise you to divorce. "
"me… "
Chen Hongxing panicked, "But when he returns to the city, I... how can I go with him, and I won't be able to pass the college entrance examination."
"Who said that you can only go to the city if you are admitted to university? You can find other ways to go to the city." Yun Hua said, "If your family is well-off and can support you to live in the city, then move there and find a way." Find a job in the city. But if this is too much of a burden on your family, you should consider letting Xie Zhiqing go to school first, and then you will follow slowly. Of course, there is another more difficult thing, you have to go to university by yourself .”
"How could I pass the exam?" Chen Hongxing looked frustrated.
Yun Hua said, "If you can't pass the exam in one year, there will be the second and third years. There is no age limit for the college entrance examination, even if you are seventy or eighty. You can't pass the exam in one year, and you can't pass it in three years? Do you like it? Thank you Educated youth, don’t you just like the smell of intellectuals in him? Similarly, would Xie Zhiqing like a rural girl or the same intellectual? You are a village girl, but you can also become an intellectual. If you really I really like Xie Zhiqing, if you really want to continue your marriage, then you'd better keep your pace with Xie Zhiqing, so that you can really go far. Otherwise... "
Yun Hua stood up, "There is too much difference between two people in marriage, they will not be happy. Or if one of you falls behind, then your hearts will become further and further apart. Hong Xing, you are younger than Xie Zhiqing." At the age of 4, you give yourself a chance to catch up with him."
"If you also want to take the college entrance examination, Xie Zhiqing is a good teacher for you. Don't waste this opportunity. Tomorrow, go and have a good chat with Xie Zhiqing."
Leaving Chen Fushan's house, Yun Hua sighed.
Chen Hongxing should have listened to her words, but for a person who doesn't like studying, it is really difficult for her to study hard for the university entrance exam.
But at this time, the policy was far from open, and it was even more unrealistic for her to go to the city to start a small business, and Chen Hongxing was not necessarily suitable for doing business.
Yun Hua could only encourage her to find a way to study and take the college entrance examination.
As for when Chen Hongxing would be able to enter the university, and what would happen to Xie Qingling after she did enter the university, this was beyond Yun Hua's considerations. People had to be responsible for their own choices.
When I left Chen Fushan's house, it was already very late.
Chen Fushan wanted Chen Hongqi to see her off, but after calling for a long time, Chen Hongqi ran away and didn't come back. Yun Hua smiled and said that she would go by herself, and she was not afraid of anything at all with her skills.
But she came out of Chen Fushan's house, and within a few steps, she saw a person leaning on the big tree behind the house, holding a small orange lantern in his hand.
Yun Hua's heart suddenly brightened, and he walked over quickly.
"You made this little orange lantern?" Yun Hua smiled and mentioned it.
He carefully handed it to her, "It's quite practical, and the windproof effect is good."
"Isn't there a flashlight?" Yun Hua asked, holding a small orange light.
Bao Siqing smiled, "Is this not good?"
"Of course."
Yun Hua smiled.
The two walked side by side, the autumn wind was bleak, but a small orange lantern warmed their hearts.
"You come out, where are Dudu and Doudou?" Yun Hua asked.
"Let them wash and sleep."
"Why did you come out to pick me up?" Her lover said.
Bao Siqing smiled: "It's getting dark, the two little guys are afraid that their mother will be in danger."
"oh."
Yun Hua felt a little bit disappointed in her heart, she bit her lips lightly, "There will be no danger, my skills...you know it too."
Bao Siqing smiled slightly, "Indeed, your skills are very good and you won't be in danger. But... I want to come pick you up."
The tip of my heart trembled violently.
She looked at Bao Siqing in a daze.
"Why, I don't know you."
Yun Hua bit her lip and clenched her fists, "I just..."
"Be careful, the road is uneven, don't fall."
He took her hand and led her away.
His hands were warm and dry, and his big hands wrapped hers easily.
Yun Hua only felt his heart beating fast.
It's a pity that it was too dark and there was no moonlight, so she couldn't see his expression clearly, let alone his eyes.
…
Chen Hongxing reconciled with Xie Qingling.
While Xie Qingling was preparing for the college entrance examination, Chen Hongxing was also preparing for the college entrance examination, but her foundation was too poor, so she could only learn from the most basic.
Xie Qingling didn't dislike her, nor did she think that tutoring her would affect his review.
After all, before he married Chen Hongxing last year, when Yun Hua told him that he would resume the college entrance examination, he had already started to review. An educated youth who hasn't touched a textbook for ten years, can't wait to spend every minute and every second of 24 hours a day on reading.
The other educated youths had almost piled up with Yun Hua and Bao Siqing these days.
Because of all the educated youths in the village, the knowledge of the two of them is too solid. The college entrance examination is about to take place. The husband and wife can answer any questions they don't know. This is really great for the educated youths who are preparing for the college entrance examination. happy event.
You must know that there are many mistakes and omissions in the supplementary books at this time. Many educated youths can only study by themselves even if they are reviewing for the college entrance examination.
Yun Hua and Bao Siqing also knew what this exam meant to these people, so they put a table in the yard, and they brought their own chairs, and they could ask anything they wanted.
The past ten years seemed too long.
But this month, no matter how long it is too short.
Finally, the college entrance examination is still coming.
It was very cold.
Both Yun Hua and Bao Siqing were wearing cotton jackets made of new cotton, which were left over from the quilts they had found for money. The whole family had made new cotton clothes, trousers, hats, gloves, cotton boots, etc.
Pancakes are too hard and too cold to digest.
Yun Hua steamed a pot of meat buns and boiled eggs, which can be warmed up at a nearby fellow's house for lunch.
…
The exam questions were as expected. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, history and geography were not difficult for her at all, but she was more cautious about political questions.
But don't worry at all, her score can definitely rank among the top in the province.
The topic of the college entrance examination this time is based on the province as a unit. As long as you can rank in the province, you can go to the university you want to go to.
After the last exam, when she came out, Bao Siqing was already waiting for her outside.
As soon as she walked over, he stuffed her with a baked sweet potato.
The skin is browned, the inside is soft and fragrant.
Yun Hua broke off half of it and gave it to him.
Bao Siqing didn't refuse, and took a bite, gasping for heat.
Yun Hua laughed so hard that he ate sweet potatoes too.
"do not move."
He said.
He leaned closer and reached out to scratch the tip of her nose.
Yun Hua's heart beat fast.
"What's wrong?" She stared at him with wide eyes.
He smiled and blinked his eyes, "It's stained with black ash, but what to do, it's getting blacker and blacker, and it's turning into a cat."
