Chapter 805 806. College Entrance Examination Preliminary List

In 1977, the college entrance examinations were set by different places independently and the examination times were also different.

Most provinces start taking the exam in mid-December, so Kyoto’s exam time is quite early. The earlier the exam, the earlier the scores will be released.

However, the scores of this year's exam were not announced to the public, and the candidates, regardless of whether they were admitted or not, did not know how many points they had scored.

Yue Wenxuan also didn't know what his score was, but everyone believed that he would definitely be on the list and there was no way he would fail.

People around him all have this understanding because his college entrance examination essay was published in the People's Daily.

In the original historical trajectory, an examinee named Liu Xuehong won this honor, but because of Yue Wenxuan's intervention, both of their full-score essays were published in the People's Daily.

Regardless of whether you know these two people or not, after reading their full-score college entrance examination essays in the People's Daily, you will definitely not think that they will fail.

The college entrance examination essays were published by such an authoritative media. Even considering the impact, it is impossible for the People's Daily to publish the college entrance examination essays of failed students. Before selecting them for publication, they would definitely have conducted corresponding investigations.

If someone else received such an honor, people around them would definitely find it very novel, but this happened to Yue Wenxuan, and everyone who knew him thought it was natural. After all, he had already published three novels in "People's Literature", so it was reasonable for him to have such a high level of writing.

Amid the anticipation of countless candidates, the preliminary rankings after the grading were finally announced.

Among the six candidates from Red Star Department Store, a total of four were on the list, namely: Yue Wenxuan, Yue Ruoyin, Chen Yuemei, and Lu Weidang.

It is a pity that Wen Xiaoqing and Lu Songlin, who have always had good grades, both failed the exam. They usually had good test scores and performed well in this exam. The reason they failed to make the preliminary list was definitely not because of their poor test scores, but because of their family background.

It was obviously a happy thing that Yue Wenxuan and four others were on the preliminary list, but it was sad that Lu Songlin and Wen Xiaoqing, who had always been good students, failed to make the list.

After returning from the list, several people walked on the road. Even Lu Weidang and others who were on the list did not speak, and no one laughed. Several people looked at Wen Xiaoqing and Lu Songlin frequently, fearing that the two would be upset.

It was Wen Xiaoqing who first broke the overly solemn atmosphere between the few people. She tried her best to put on a smile and said in a casual manner:
"What's wrong with you guys? Shouldn't you be happy about being on the first list?
Don't let Lu Songlin and I affect you. We failed the exam, so we're not in a good mood. But it's a miracle that four of the six of us made it. You should just laugh happily.

As you have just seen, among so many candidates, only a few are finally on the list. It is normal for not to pass the exam.

Besides, our situations were special, and we had already prepared ourselves for not passing the exam. We were very happy to have successfully registered, and it also fulfilled our dream of going to college.

This is much better than before. A few years ago, we two would not even be qualified to register.”

"Xiao Qing is right. We two are already very content and have nothing to regret."

Lu Songlin also didn't want to ruin everyone's happy mood, so he pretended to be indifferent, "Compared to the past, our current situation is already heaven. People like us can return to the city, have a job, and live an upright life. What else can we complain about?"

Yue Ruoyin said with a sad face: "I just feel it's such a pity, it's really hard to accept. Obviously you two have the most solid foundation and your test scores have always been the best, how come you failed?
In the previously announced information, it was clearly stated that the admissions process would not be based solely on academic performance, but mainly on individual performance. How come the admissions results were still like this in the end?"

Yue Wenxuan sighed in his heart. His sister was still too naive. Wasn't it just rubbing salt into someone's wounds to say this?

Although the policy has been relaxed this year, the class background will still be considered in the admission stage after the score reaches the standard. If your class background is not very sensitive, you may be admitted, but if your class background is sensitive, then it is uncertain.

Wen Xiaoqing and Lu Songlin both have sensitive backgrounds, and their luck may not be very good, so Yue Wenxuan is not surprised by such a result.

After Yue Ruoyin said this, the atmosphere became even more depressed. Yue Wenxuan said:

“Let’s not talk about the past. Even if I fail this time, I can still take the exam next year. It’s not like I only have this one chance.

We are always talking about emancipating our minds, and the admission standards for next year will only be more relaxed. As long as you can get good grades next year, I think you will definitely be admitted.

I always believe that as long as I don’t give up, there will be hope.”

Chen Yuemei was an introverted person, not good at speaking, and didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only remain silent.

Lu Weidang also didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only change the subject: "I really didn't expect that I would be on the list. Even if I'm not admitted in the end, I can still give an explanation to my father.

You don’t know, my dad knew that I was not smart, but he still had high expectations for me and always hoped that I could get into college.”

"Weidang, don't underestimate yourself. You just have a weak foundation, but you're not stupid. Plus, you study hard, so it's only natural that you can get into university."

Lu Weidang turned his head to look at Yue Wenxuan and said sincerely: "Don't praise me, don't I know what kind of person I am?

If I can really get into university this time, my own efforts will only account for three points of the credit, and the other seven points of the credit will be yours.

If you hadn't been so patient in helping me with my homework, I wouldn't have achieved such results."

Lu Weidang has a clear understanding of himself. He knows that he is just an ordinary person and if he only relies on his own efforts, there is no hope of getting into university.

Chen Yuemei also said to Yue Wenxuan with gratitude: "I also want to say thank you to you! I just didn't give up. I signed up with the attitude of giving it a try. In fact, I didn't have any confidence at all.

If you hadn't encouraged me and helped me all the time, I wouldn't have achieved what I have now."

"Don't say that. I really didn't do anything. I can't even help you as much as Ruoyin and Xiaoqing."

After all, there are differences between men and women, and Chen Yuemei is introverted, so Yue Wenxuan feels that he can't be of much help to her.

"Of course I want to thank Ruoyin and Xiaoqing, but the person I should thank the most is definitely you. If you hadn't provided us with the college entrance examination review materials and made the test papers for us, I would definitely not have achieved the results I have now."

Lu Weidang had long planned to treat Yue Wenxuan to a good meal, and took this opportunity to say:
"Wenxuan, I have been wanting to treat you to a good meal for a long time. When do you have time in the next two days? I will treat everyone to a big meal at the restaurant."

"Then I won't be polite. Anyway, you are earning a good salary now, so it will be no problem for you to treat me to a meal. Let's go to the small restaurant on our street at noon the day after tomorrow. Their food is pretty good. When Tan Hongsheng came back to the city, I welcomed him and we went to their house for dinner. We both thought it was great."

"Okay then. I'll listen to you. Originally, I was planning to spend a lot of money and treat you to a meal at Lao Mo's. Since you want to save money for me, don't blame me for being stingy."

Yue Wenxuan said: "If you want everyone to praise you for being generous, you can treat everyone to another meal after you receive the admission letter. We will definitely be happy to do so."

Lu Weidang immediately refused to do so, "How can I invite guests twice for the same thing? If I really do this, my dad will definitely not praise me for being generous, but will only call me stupid.

Anyway, this is the only chance to treat me. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. Don't even think about asking me to treat you twice."

"It is said that a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. I always thought that you, Lu Weidang, were generous, but I didn't expect you to be so stingy. Is it too late for me to regret it now?
Why don't we go to Lao Mo? I should listen to everyone's opinions and not have a one-man show on this matter." Yue Wenxuan immediately regretted it.

"It's too late. I suddenly remembered that the money in my pocket seems to be almost gone. I only have enough to treat you to a meal at a small restaurant."

With the two people's jokes, the atmosphere became cheerful again.

After they returned to the department store, everyone was happy for them when they heard that four out of the six people were on the list.

Although everyone feels sorry for Wen Xiaoqing and Lu Songlin, overall, it is really a proud thing that these four people are on the list.

The main reason is that there are too many people taking the college entrance examination this year, and the admission rate is too small. It is normal not to pass the exam, and even if one person passes the exam, it will be a surprise.

Cai Youliang suggested that we improve the food at noon so that everyone can celebrate properly. However, the four people on the list were in a hurry to go home and report the good news, so the celebration could only be postponed.

Because they had to go to the street office to check the list today, Yue Wenxuan's parents did not go to work and were anxiously waiting for news at home.

As soon as Yue Wenxuan and Yue Ruoyin entered the room, Cong Qiuhui asked anxiously, "How is it? Are both of you on the list?"

Yue Xuchu remained very calm. When he saw his son and daughter smiling, he knew it must be good news.

Yue Ruoyin rushed to say, "Mom, don't worry, we are both on the list. If nothing unexpected happens, your daughter, I will be a college student soon."

Cong Qiuhui said: "I am most worried about you. It is truly a miracle that you, with your stupid brain, can be admitted to university. Our family must celebrate it."

Yue Ruoyin pouted and said, "Mom, how can you belittle your own daughter like that? I am stupid, but I inherited it from you and my dad.

If I really can't get into college, I will definitely blame you two for being biased and not giving me a smart brain, making it so hard for me to study."

Cong Qiuhui looked at her son, "Wenxuan, why didn't you bring Xiaoqing home with you?"

"Xiaoqing failed the exam and was in a bad mood, so I didn't call her."

Cong Qiuhui sighed immediately, "In fact, I have already prepared myself for this. Given her family background, even if her test scores are good, her chances of being admitted are slim.

What a pity! It would be a pity if Xiaoqing, such a smart kid, couldn't go to college."

"Xiaoqing is still young. If she fails this year, she can take the exam next year. I believe the policy in this regard will become more and more relaxed. Maybe next year's admission will no longer consider family background."

"I hope so." Cong Qiuhui was not very confident about this, and she warned her son seriously, "Go back and counsel Xiaoqing. She has suffered enough, so don't let her have any psychological pressure."

It was almost noon when Yue Wenxuan's elder brother finally returned home with brisk steps.

"Ling Xuan, why did you come back just now? Did you make the list this time?" Cong Qiuhui had little confidence in her eldest son's academic performance and asked with considerable trepidation.

"I'm on the list. I'll go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow morning." Yue Lingxuan's tone was full of excitement.

"Great! As long as you're on the list, there's hope. I never thought that all three of you would be on the list. If you're all admitted in the end, our family will become famous in the family housing complex."

Cong Qiuhui was so happy when she thought of the envious looks of her neighbors. At her age, there were not many things she could pursue, and the most important thing was that her children had gone out to study.

Even Yue Wenxuan was a little surprised that his elder brother Yue Lingxuan could make the first round. With his foundation, even with the review materials and test papers provided by Yue Wenxuan, if he could finally pass the exam, it would mostly be due to luck.

After the preliminary list is announced, there is an extremely important procedure before the final admission, which is a physical examination.

If you fail the physical examination, no school will admit you even if your test scores are high.

Therefore, physical examination is very important, and every candidate who is on the preliminary list takes it very seriously.

Yue Wenxuan has already made an appointment with several people from the department store to go to the hospital for a check-up together tomorrow.

Before departure, in order to prevent everyone from being nervous, Yue Wenxuan gave everyone a psychological counseling session to prevent everyone from failing the examination due to being too nervous.

This is not Yue Wenxuan making a fuss, because in actual inspections, there are many such examples.

Some healthy candidates, due to lack of basic knowledge of physical examination, are prone to nervousness during the test. Especially in the blood pressure test, if you are too nervous, you are prone to high blood pressure symptoms.

Some responsible doctors will give one or two more chances, or provide some simple psychological counseling to the person being tested during the examination, which can also avoid wrong test results.

But there are too many people to be tested, and often the doctors who do the testing do not have that much patience. If symptoms of high blood pressure appear, they may not give a second chance.

It would be a pity if I missed the opportunity to go to college because of this.
