Zhao Donglin and Jiahui applied for the combined science exam. The combined science subjects include politics, Chinese, mathematics, and comprehensive science. Jiahui added another foreign language. .

The examination papers are set independently by each province. Therefore, the examination papers of each province are different, and the focus and knowledge points are also different.

In the first language test, although Jiahui had a premonition before the test that the questions of this test would not be too difficult, because most of the candidates lacked the learning foundation, Jiahui still felt like a dream when looking at the contents of that A4 page.

There are no multiple choice questions on the test paper, they are all real test questions.

The first major item is phonetic transcription, which is to transcribe the sentence "treating comrades as warm as spring", the second major item is to analyze sentences, pointing out parts of speech such as nouns and verbs, the third item is rhetorical techniques, and the fourth item is to analyze a The first is Chairman M’s poems, and the last item is composition, which accounts for 60%. The title of the essay can be selected from one of two, "In the Boiling Age" or "Talking about Youth".

Looking at the entire test paper, it is the level of junior high school students in later generations. The test points such as phonetic symbols are already the content that has been studied since the first grade of elementary school.

This test paper was not difficult for Jiahui, and there was plenty of time for the test. She took out a pen filled with ink and started to answer the questions in a calm manner.

People in this era generally practice. No matter how well they study, they must first practice a good handwriting. Fortunately, Jiahui took calligraphy lessons when she was a child. The face is clean and tidy.

The invigilator passed by her and glanced at it carelessly, and was attracted by the clean paper. He stood behind her curiously and found that the questions he read were all correct.

"Dong Jiahui, No. 2 Middle School of Jiangkou County."

The invigilator silently read this name in his heart. He used to be a teacher in the No. 1 Middle School of the county. During the turmoil, he was labeled as a labor reformer. In his teens, he has been teaching and educating people all his life, even if he has suffered hardships and suffered losses, his love for talents will not diminish at all.

After the Chinese teacher was over, politics was followed. Jiahui had already memorized a "Red Book" by heart in the past few years, not to mention that there was a political expert Zhao Donglin at home, so the test questions were no problem for Jiahui.

The second invigilator was still the old teacher, the school was short of manpower, and he would spend all day here today. Of course, the government did not let the invigilators work too hard, and gave a one-yuan subsidy for each invigilator. There are a few dollars in income.

This time he deliberately stood behind Jiahui to watch, and found that Jiahui's answers were still very good, unless he was serious, he really couldn't find anything wrong.

He read all the candidates in the entire examination room. Whether it was the last Chinese test or this political test, this candidate named Dong Jiahui had the highest rate of correct answers.

Jiahui didn't know that she had already received the attention of the invigilator, and someone even mentioned her name when the teachers communicated in private. After reading it all day, even if the questions were simple, she was a little dizzy. In such a cold day, In a cold classroom, reaching out to pick up a pen is torture.

Zhao Donglin arrived at the agreed school gate first, and Jiahui arrived second.

"How is it? Are you tired?"

He held Jiahui's hand and put it in his palm to warm it, and cast his eyes straight on Jiahui's face, seeing her pale and distressed.

"A little bit, I'm so hungry."

Zhao Donglin smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her nose, "Let's go eat when we're hungry, and we'll go when Meixiang comes."

It’s getting dark now, and there are no buses from the county to the town. If he came alone, he would have to go back overnight. The tens of kilometers is nothing to him, but considering his wife and Meixiang, Zhao Donglin I still decided to stay one more night in the guest house, and I didn't care about the extra night's accommodation fee.

Jiahui was very satisfied with Zhao Donglin's arrangement. If it wasn't for the students coming and going outside the examination room, she would have jumped up to hug him and give him a sweet kiss.

"Tomorrow, let's go shopping in the city and see if there is anything to buy. Didn't you save a few milk powder tickets? I brought two of them here and put them on to buy two cans of milk powder."

Zhao Donglin's working relationship is in the commune, which is equivalent to the establishment of civil servants in later generations. In addition to salary, he will also be paid some additional benefits, such as fuel tickets, cloth tickets, industrial tickets, etc. Milk powder tickets are extra humanized benefits after birth.

It means that if you have a child, if you need it, I will send you a few photos to add nutrition to the child.

But not everyone is willing to use this kind of ticket, after all, the price of a can of milk powder is not cheap.

The daughter-in-law said that she wanted to buy something. How could Zhao Donglin have any opinion? After the two got married, he handed over the financial power to Jiahui. Although the salary was handed over to his mother at the beginning, all the private money he saved was given to his own wife. What's more, after the separation, Jiahui fully controlled the finances and only gave her parents-in-law twenty yuan a month.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

The husband and wife were lying on their sides, and Mei Xiang ran out from inside.

She was wearing a bright red scarf, two braids were dancing in the air, and her nose was bright red. From the smile on her face, Jiahui knew that she did not do badly in the exam, otherwise she would have been crying a long time ago, how could she laugh.

"Have you finished all the questions?"

Mei Xiang nodded, "Well, whether it's right or not, it's all written anyway."

In fact, when she came out of the examination room, some classmates asked her to answer the answers. At first, Meixiang was not very sure of herself, but after getting the questions right, she knew that many people had blank questions or wrote randomly. I found confidence.

My sister-in-law said that admissions are based on the merits of the test scores, and the better you do in the test, the higher the probability of being admitted, but don't blame her for taking pleasure in other people's misfortunes.

"Sister-in-law, you must have answered well, right?"

"It's okay, the specific results still have to wait for the final results. Let's go, let's find a place to eat."

It was already dark, and the three of them went to the state-run restaurant where Zhao Donglin bought breakfast in the morning. The boss knew that they were taking the college entrance examination, so he came over to have a chat with them.

"How are you doing in the exam?"

"So-so, wait for the results to come out."

The boss let out a cheer. He probably saw a lot of students who came to take the college entrance examination in the past two days, ranging from teens to thirties, but these three are very special. The husband and wife brought a younger sister, and the whole family took part in the battle.

"A lot of people have signed up. If I'm not too old, I would like to try to sign up to see if I have the fate to be a college student. Glory to my ancestors." The boss wiped the table for them while talking, "Three bowls of egg noodles, right? , wait a moment."

Zhao Donglin nodded with a smile.

Everything is real in this era, a big bowl full of noodles, pickled cabbage and fragrant poached eggs inside.

Jiahui saw that there were so many noodles, and gave Zhao Donglin half a bowl of noodles. Zhao Donglin didn't say anything. After Jiahui finished, he put his poached eggs in Jiahui's bowl.

"One is enough for me."

Saying that, Jiahui put the poached egg back into Zhao Donglin's bowl.

She still can't finish half of the noodles. She knows that he loves her, but she loves him too. Who made him her man.

Mei Xiang buried her head in sucking the noodles. The eldest brother and sister-in-law were too affectionate, and she would get tired of it from time to time, which made her feel very embarrassed.

At this time, it is better to use the term "light bulb", otherwise Meixiang will know that she is essentially a super-watt light bulb.

The three of them walked back to the hostel after eating. After the exam, several rooms were vacated, and Zhao Donglin asked for another room, so that Meixiang could live in a room alone, without the three of them being crowded together, and he didn't have to sleep on the floor.

At night, nestled in Zhao Donglin's warm arms, Jiahui was very satisfied. Even though her grades hadn't come out yet, she was already looking forward to her future life.

If they are all admitted to a suitable school and the family lives in the provincial capital, there is no need to pay tuition fees, living expenses are subsidized, saving some money, and the family's savings are enough.

But she can't sit still, she has to think of a way to make money, and the pace of reform will start soon. I heard from the elders in the family that at this time, as long as you have the courage, even the tea and egg sellers on the street can earn money. For money, it depends on who can take the first step with brains.

Zhao Donglin hugged Xinxiang's soft little wife, drew circles around her waist through a cotton sweater, and asked behind her ear, "What are you thinking? You are smiling like a little fox."

Jiahui pouted, her cheeks were red from the heat of the bed, like an innocent and lovely little girl.

"I just look forward to a better life in the future."

Zhao Donglin chuckled softly, "Really? Then what did you expect?"

Jiahui wouldn't tell him about her plan. Because she had revealed the college entrance examination in advance, he had already been wary. She couldn't play the role of a prophet in life.

Jiahui muttered casually, "It's just that our life will get better and better, what else can there be?"

While Zhao Donglin was listening, his hands began to be dishonest again. Jiahui patted his hands to keep him from moving.

"Pay attention to the influence, this is outside, I don't want to be listened to in the corner."

This kind of house is not soundproof at all, and anyone who moves a little bit across the wall can hear it. She is not that thick-skinned.

Zhao Donglin hugged her tightly, and said in a low and hoarse voice next to her ear, "I don't do anything, I just want to kiss you."

Jiahui gave him a sideways look, so she didn't believe his nonsense. Every time she said something, it didn't count. What's the point? How could she beat him with her slender arms and legs

The daughter-in-law disagrees that Zhao Donglin can't act recklessly, Jiahui has already explained to him in advance that she is definitely going to go to college, and if his plan to go to college is affected by his not being able to tighten her belt, she will want him to look good!

Although it was a joke, Zhao Donglin knew that his wife really wanted to go to college, as she said, a man still has to be responsible for his lower body.
