"Nian Nian, do you know the cause of this matter?"

His expression was a little strange, and An Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it related to me?"

"It has something to do with your cousin An Qian." Xiao Jinnian laughed, "Her midterm exam results were too poor and she was suspected of cheating in the college entrance examination. Principal Yue Qiming of Capital Normal University organized a re-examination..."

The other three people in the yard looked over, with curious faces on their faces.

Xiao Jinnian said meaningfully: "She is pretending to be sick."

"Hiss...how dare she..."

Qiao Shi couldn't hold back his anger the most. The pea huang in his hand broke into pieces. He turned to ask An Nian.

"Nian Nian, did your cousin really cheat? I also took the college entrance examination last year, and the examination was very strict. How did she succeed in cheating?"

An Nian turned over all the herbs and returned to the stone table to sit down.

Xiao Jinnian's eyes kept following her, and when he saw her sitting down, he pushed the cold tea beside him.

An Nian took a sip and shook his head in front of everyone's gaze.

"It shouldn't be the case. Anjia is just an ordinary farmer in Lu'an Village and can't get the college entrance examination papers."

"That's why..." Qiao Shi put the remaining soybeans into his mouth in confusion.

"I'm curious too."

An Nian held the tea lid and drew it along the edge of the white porcelain tea cup, bringing up a thin circle of tea foam.

Her fingers were slender and white, and every move she made while drinking tea had its own charm. The aroma of the tea seemed to become more intense after passing through her hands.

Xiao Jinnian, who was sitting next to An Nian, moved his body and sniffed the refreshing smell with a hint of medicinal fragrance without any trace.

"Do you want to participate in the final review?" Xiao Jinnian took the opportunity to invite. "After the photos are finally compiled, they will be handed over to our company for technical processing."

Now the entire country of China is busy, and there is a shortage of manpower in every field. The task of verifying students' identities is heavy and trivial, and the Ministry of Education cannot spare manpower for a while.

After Xiao Jinnian learned about the matter, he offered to provide free technical support.

He paused and said with a smile: "The review is quite labor-intensive. I can pay your wages."

"Huh? Can I participate too?"

Josh was a little excited and pointed to himself.

She likes to join in the fun the most. It would be great if she could participate in this matter.

"Okay." Xiao Jinnian nodded. "Where is Nian Nian? Are you participating?"

An Nian looked at the herbs that were drying: "I'm a little busy."

Xiao Jinnian lowered his eyebrows in disappointment and said, "Okay then."

In the next period of time, An Nian dried the herbs at home. After drying a batch, he put them all away.

After the Qiao family's small storage room was filled with medicinal materials, An Nian relaxed a little and began to cook and make small rejuvenation pills in batches.

-

In Qiao Shi's expectation, Xiao Jinnian finally collected all the photos and could start the final review work.

Qiao Shi had changed her clothes early in the morning. Remembering what Xiao Jinnian had said to her yesterday, she rushed into An Nian's room.

"Nian Nian, will you go to Xiao's house with me?"

"Huh?" An Nian was sitting at the table, reading "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", reviewing the past and learning the new. "I won't go."

"Oh! You've been staying at home for more than half a month. If you don't go out for a walk, won't you be afraid of mold?"

Qiao Shi couldn't help but stepped forward and took her hand, shaking it.

"Okay? Okay? Just come with me. I'm so bored by myself!"

"Besides, you can see things quickly and accurately, maybe you can find our mistakes? For such an important matter as the college entrance examination, a small mistake on our part can be a big deal to others."

An Nian didn't want to move. She had a hunch that the news she had been waiting for for a long time was coming, and she didn't want to miss it.

Qiao Yongsheng was sitting on a bamboo chair in the yard. He heard his granddaughter's chirping voice and shook his head helplessly.

He had always loved Qiao Shi, but when he saw her hanging her head in frustration, she stopped holding the cattail leaf fan in her hand.

"Nian Nian, just go with her. Young people should go out for more walks. By the way, help me deliver this bottle of health pills to Mr. Xiao."

When An Nian heard the previous words of the master, he wanted to refuse, but the "by the way" after the master was irresistible.

"Okay, Master."

"Awesome!" Qiao Shi almost jumped up with joy, "Thank you, grandpa."

Qiao Yongsheng glanced at her: "Go to my room and take out the health pills."

"okay!"

Qiao Shi knew everything at home, so he didn't need to explain it in more detail. After entering Qiao Yongsheng's room, he went straight to the ancient shelf and picked up the white porcelain bottle with a red label on it.

After agreeing to accompany Qiao Shi out, An Nian stopped pushing back, changed her clothes, picked up her cloth bag and went out.

The two of them got on the bus and came to Xiao's house.

Xiao Jinnian was already waiting at the door. An Nian took out the health pills and asked him to take them to Mr. Xiao.

After entering through the main entrance of Xiao's house, Xiao Jinnian led the two of them to the backyard.

Walking around and introducing with a smile.

"You haven't been to this courtyard before, have you? It is independently designed, with a separate door and parking garage. As soon as you open the west door and walk forward, you will find the most prosperous place in the capital.

In those days, this alley was inhabited by princes and ministers, and there were supporting commercial plans surrounding the building complex.

However, those are all history and have now been converted into office areas for various ministries and commissions. "

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the courtyard.

Dozens of tables were placed in order in the courtyard, and on each table was a wooden sign with the names of the major provinces in China written on it.

"We adopt an assembly line operation, and some people are responsible for collecting the photos separately and placing the photos of candidates from the corresponding provinces in the correct provinces.

Others do information verification.This time, our Xiao family is not only responsible for verifying college entrance examination candidates in the capital, but also in other provinces.

However, we only have the capital part here, and the rest are distributed outside. "

An Nian turned to look at him and heard the power of the Xiao family from Xiao Jinnian's words.

Not only does their family have deep roots in the capital, they may also be taking advantage of this stock trend to spread their influence.

Sure enough, a businessman will never make a loss-making business.

Xiao Jinnian seems to be working for the country for free, but in fact he has a deeper connection with the local government. The country appreciates it and will give corresponding rewards for every effort.

Xiao Jinnian didn't notice the change in An Nian's expression, and just led the two of them to Nanjiang Province's table.

"You two are in charge of this table. Is there any problem?"

An Nian looked away: "No problem."

Qiao Shi was also eager to try: "I'm very curious about Nian Nian's cousin, just this table! Brother Jinnian, ask them to send all the photos."

"Okay, don't worry."

Xiao Jinnian nodded with a smile and left.

A few minutes after An Nian and Qiao Shi sat down, the photo was sent over.

On the left are photos of students taking their college re-examinations, and on the right are photos taken by visiting staff and recorded survey data.

The workload was not as big as An Nian imagined, and the visiting staff brought photos of the students to the place for verification.

Xiao Jinnian thought carefully, and in order to prevent the visitors from being bribed by the locals, he announced to everyone that there would be two groups of people, one overt and one undercover, to supervise and verify each other.

In fact, he did the same.

An Nian moved the photo to the side and said, "Shi Shi, let's look at the investigation data first."

"it is good."

Josh was not stupid and quickly decided on the order of work.

The two of them each took a copy, and started sorting and checking based on the order in which An read the book.

If there is no problem, let it go. If there is a discrepancy in the information between the two surveys, or if the investigator writes "suspected to have a problem", take it out and put it aside for subsequent verification.

The two of them cooperated tacitly and quickly sorted out all the written materials.

The first college entrance examination in 1977 was a hell, with an admission rate of only 4.7%. There were 1160 million applicants, 570 million people took the exam, and 27 people were admitted.

Divided equally into each province, only a few thousand people can be admitted to university in a province. If divided equally among cities and counties, the number is really only double digits.

However, in this case.

An Nian has already seen 4 items marked as "suspected to have problems" in the data book. Do you think they are quite few?Just a few thousandths.

When it falls on an individual, it is a reversal of fate.

People who go to college and people who are desperate and unable to get out of the mountains are already two different worlds.

"Would you like to take a rest? Drink some water and eat some fruit." Xiao Jinnian led someone to their side.

An Nian glanced at the sky and saw that it was already noon. He stopped what he was doing and the emotion in his heart.

"Thank you."

Josh sighed: "I can't eat anymore."

Xiao Jinnian took a look at the information they picked out, and there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he opened his mouth to comfort them.

"This kind of thing is normal. The college entrance examination is a turnaround opportunity that everyone has been waiting for for ten years. Once you pass the exam, you will take a completely different path.

Now is the time when the country needs talents the most. As long as their brains are not stupid, everyone knows that these college students are bound to climb to the top.

This is not only a personal honor for the college students, but also an opportunity for his family.

This piece of cake is placed in front of everyone, and anyone who has the energy will fight for it.Moreover, as far as I know, last year's college entrance examination was held in a hurry, many things were not prepared, and there were as many loopholes as a sieve. "

An Nian looked at him and asked, "If it were you, would you take advantage of this loophole?"

Xiao Jinnian was stunned. He would definitely get it, but he didn't want An Nian to think he was a bad person. He smiled and shook his head.

"of course not."

After a pause, Xiao Jinnian shrugged again.

"I don't need to take advantage of any loopholes. Based on my ability, it's no problem to take the college entrance examination."

"Yeah." An Nian nodded with a smile, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Xiao Jinnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out a box from his pocket and handed it to An Nian.

An Nian was confused: "What is this?"

"Clock shaker."

Xiao Jinnian opened the box, took out a black object inside, took off the Vacheron Constantin watch from his wrist, and put it in.

The meter rocked up and down.

"Last time I gave you a watch, I forgot to include a watch regulator. I see that you haven't worn it. Have you stopped wearing it? In fact, there is no watch regulator. As long as you wear it every day, it can move normally."

An Nian was stunned, looked up at him, moved his mouth, and laughed instead of saying the question.

"I didn't know that..."

Xiao Jinnian laughed, his handsome eyebrows were particularly exquisite.

He has always looked very good. When he was sick, he had the look of a sickly handsome boy. Now that he is healthy again, his body gradually becomes taller and taller, his eyebrows relax, and his appearance has improved several levels compared to the beginning.

Qiao Shi looked at him and couldn't move his eyes away.

After a while, Qiao Shi, who was slow to react, finally turned his attention to An Nian and then back to Xiao Jinnian.

Why did she feel that Xiao Jinnian had something in mind for Niannian?

If Qiao Yongsheng were here, he would definitely hold his forehead in silence. It has been a month, and his granddaughter has only noticed this? !

"Brother Jinnian, when did you give Niannian a watch?"

Xiao Jinnian saw An Nian put the watch away. He could no longer find an excuse to get closer, so he could only straighten up.

"When you left last time, I saw that she didn't have a watch, so I gave her one as a gift."

Qiao Shi lowered his head and looked at the Hai brand quartz watch on his wrist, feeling uncomfortable: "Actually, I also lack a watch..."

How can quartz watches and mechanical watches compare?

There’s a huge difference in price!

Moreover, this is the watch Xiao Jinnian gave away!The price is certainly not low!

Qiao Shi thought of the Hong Kong magazine he had seen at Xiao's house, which had a dazzling array of watch styles, and tears almost flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Jinnian nodded and agreed: "Okay, come to the main room after get off work today, and I'll give you a piece too."

"Wow! Thank you, Brother Jinnian!"

Qiao Shi was so happy that he instantly put his previous thought of "something was wrong" behind him.

After resting for a while, An Nian continued the work at hand.

After discovering that there were so many people who were doing things secretly, An Nian accumulated a lot of energy in her heart. She wanted these people to pay the price!I want to find light for those who have been replaced and put their destiny back on track.

An Nian and the others found out the information of the eight people in question, checked their identities one by one, and then found photos with the same names among the photos.

There are even ones with different names.

These people are really fast. It has only been half a semester, and some people have already changed their names after enrolling.

The name of the real college entrance examination candidate was changed to a "former name" and replaced with his own real name.

Registration in this era was all manual. Let alone a nationwide network, even if you moved to the next city, you wouldn't be able to detect anything wrong.

Over time, these imposters become real, and no evidence of their previous crimes can be found.

Holding his breath, An Nian worked very efficiently. There was no need to look through the photos he had seen once.

After finishing the information on Nanjiang Province, she also took the initiative to help others.

After three days of busy work, all freshmen at the university in Beijing were screened.

After summarizing, Xiao Jinnian submitted all the survey results to the Ministry of Education.

Qiao Shi was very disappointed: "Nian Nian, your cousin didn't pretend to be someone else."

"Ah."

An Nian was not surprised. Although An Qian was dirty, she really didn't have the ability to do anything instead of going to college.

This investigation found 9 people with problems, and their backgrounds were all local tyrants.

There are those who take the place of educated youths in school, and there are those who directly go to the local education bureau to change other people’s information. In short, people at home who don’t have any ability can’t do such a thing.

After the education department received the information, it immediately held an emergency meeting, and all the leaders attending the meeting looked extremely sad.

They finally promoted the national college entrance examination, but they didn't expect it to be completely destroyed by the moths!

If Yue Qiming, the president of Capital Normal University, hadn't noticed something fishy, ​​they would have been kept in the dark!

"Damn it! This is too much bullying! Do these people have the right skills?! How dare they raise their hands on such a big matter as the college entrance examination!"

Minister Wang Liang of the Ministry of Education has always been a steady person. Even in his middle age, he can be praised as "gentle and elegant, with poetry and books in his belly". Unexpectedly, he would use expletives at this time.
