The Propaganda Department is in the textile factory and it’s not a very busy department, so many of the older employees in the department are old hands who would rather not work than do so.
For example, during the period before the Chinese New Year, every household is busy, and some people will ask for a few days off today, and others will ask for a few days off tomorrow. You have something to do today, and he has something to do tomorrow.
Chuxia was not the first one to take leave, nor the last one.
After she told the minister about her family situation, the minister thought for a while and said, "Two weeks of leave is too much. I will give you at most one week during the Chinese New Year."
Chu Xia looked at the minister with a troubled look in her eyes: "Minister, if there is only one week of vacation, I can't take the child to his father's place at all. The time for going back and forth will be taken up completely."
This is the disadvantage of being too far away. Today, unlike the more developed transportation systems of later generations, one cannot arrive quickly by plane or high-speed rail.
Nowadays, when traveling far away, people usually choose to take the train. The distance from Liangzhou to Ganzhou is not short, and considering the time the train stops along the way, it will take at least two days to reach the destination.
This does not include the time it takes to get to the Ganzhou troops after getting off the train.
The director said, "I can't make the decision on a vacation that's too long. I have to ask the factory director for permission for the half-month vacation. You go back first and I'll make a decision after I ask the factory director."
Having said that, Chu Xia had nothing more to say and could only go back and wait for news.
But she was not too worried. She knew there would always be a way out. If she really couldn't take leave, she would think of other ways.
The most important thing now is her final exam, so Chuxia spent the next few days reviewing hard and didn't pay much attention to the issue of taking leave.
She hasn't finished the questions sent from Beijing and Northwest China. When she gets home from work, she does the questions frantically. After finishing, she looks at the answers and cuts out the wrong questions and pastes them in the wrong question book.
Copying down wrong questions is a waste of time and may not be useful. She can cut and paste them like this and use them for review. The point of the wrong question book is to ensure that you will not make the same mistakes again after making them.
As soon as Chuxia got the test paper, she asked the school to make a copy, so there was no need to worry that she would cut it and affect the students of No. 6 Middle School.
While reviewing in early summer, Cen Huaian faced his final exam.
The final exam for the preschool class is very simple. The papers are ink papers made by the teacher himself, one for Chinese and one for mathematics, on both sides, and printed out after the teacher writes and carves the paper by hand.
When Cen Huaian and his classmates were taking the exam, in order to avoid cheating, all the children brought stools and squatted in the school yard, with each person taking the exam one meter apart.
Fortunately, it didn't snow that day and the sun came out, but it was still very cold.
In order to avoid being frozen, Cen Huaian finished the test paper and handed it in as quickly as possible.
At this moment, some of his classmates were procrastinating on the first question, some were looking up at the sky, and some were looking down at the ants under their feet.
The teacher took a look at his paper, made sure it was not blank, took it from him, and let him go home.
The exams for preschool are just so casual, and the same is true for the first grade of elementary school.
Cen Huaian stood at the school gate and looked at Bangzi. He was looking at the test paper with a bitter and resentful look on his face, just like Maozai and Chopsticks.
It was obvious that he would not be able to hand in the paper for some time, so he picked up his schoolbag and left the school without any reluctance.
