77 was a year of rejuvenation. The evil spirits were gone, and all industries began a new journey. Workers worked hard and farmers strived for high yields. In short, the whole country was thriving. The top leaders were pleased and excited at the same time. After all, after decades of wind and rain, they finally saw the light today. So on May Day, a grand celebration was held in Tianmen Square.

He Yuzhu also brought Zhu Lin to join in the fun, but since there were too many people, they could only stand far away and cheer, jumping and dancing with the crowd. They were extremely excited.

May 1st is the Labor Day, and each unit selected advanced producers and commended them. It is a great honor that He Yuzhu is also on the list. He himself does not know why he is on the list. Maybe it is because he manages the canteen too well, or there are other reasons. Anyway, he is on the list, which is something to be happy about.

Afterwards, a commendation meeting was held and leaders from the Ministry of Metallurgy came to express their condolences. The senior leader also talked to He Yuzhu specifically, urging him not to be proud and complacent, to keep up the good work, to take the lead in his work, and to make further contributions to the factory, the country, and the revolutionary cause.

When a huge compliment was dropped on him, what else could He Yuzhu say? He must have listened to the leader's instructions, expressed his determination, and continued to work hard.

The Siheyuan has been very quiet recently. Perhaps it is because the Banggeng incident has brought too much of a shock to everyone. Everyone has become much more honest, especially Jia Zhang. Without her grandson as a backer, she has learned to keep a low profile. She usually stays at home and knows how to stay quiet.

Qin Huairu seemed to have let go of her worries and devoted herself to work again. There was no way. Xiaodang was unemployed, so Huaihua originally planned to take the college entrance examination, but the Banggeng incident suddenly broke out and her file was taken away by the relevant departments for investigation. This investigation directly ruined her future. Now she is unemployed at home. As a result, Qin Huairu is the only one working, and she has to support three people who eat for free. The pressure is extremely great.

However, there have been significant changes in the system mall. All 350 bottles of hibiscus cream have been sold out, and the cumulative transaction amount has reached US dollars, which can be exchanged for 3.5 mall secret scrolls, which has met the conditions for store upgrades.

The sales volume of Shenzao Pills was also very impressive, with more than 10 pills sold cumulatively. Calculated at a price of 17 US dollars per pill, that is 8.5 US dollars. When exchanged for secret scrolls, it is 12 talismans, and together with the Hibiscus Cream, it is 1981 talismans, which directly upgraded the store to level four. Now the timeline of the system mall is !

81 was the third year after the reform and opening up. Many foreign goods appeared on the market. He Yuzhu was dazzled by the sight of so many things in the mall. There were so many things he wanted to buy, such as Japanese color TVs and refrigerators, American computers and cars, etc., all of which were high-tech. But unfortunately, the real world was still 77. If he took these things home, he would not be able to explain them at all.

But this did not pose a problem for him, because there was a way to achieve it, which was to buy it from the mall first, then disassemble it in the space, and then take it out and assemble it, so that others would not be able to say anything. For example, for a color TV, wooden shells are popular now, which is very simple. Just ask Mr. Luo to make a set for you and it's done.

But the circuit inside was a bit troublesome. After all, He Yuzhu was just a chef, not a professional technician. It was a bit too abrupt to suddenly bring out a color TV, so he had to find an excuse!

After much thought, he decided that he could only get into college first. As long as he was a college student, no one would find it strange even if he built a rocket.

……

In October, the much-anticipated college entrance examination was finally settled. After research and decision by the Ministry of Education, December 12 and 16 were set as the dates for the college entrance examination. The original slogan was "Voluntary application, leadership approval, strict examination, and admission based on merit!" However, the old man felt that it was inappropriate after reading it, and was worried that someone would take the opportunity to obstruct, so he deleted four words and changed it to "Voluntary application, strict examination, and admission based on merit", which relaxed the application conditions to the greatest extent. It can be said that almost everyone can take the exam.

He Yuzhu signed up as soon as possible. He had to be quick. When the report came out, people in the whole city went crazy. The opportunity to make a big leap forward was right in front of them. Who wouldn't want to make a big leap? The night schools were packed overnight and were forced to close. It shows how crazy people were!

Not only night schools, but also major bookstores, libraries, and scrap collection stations in Kyoto City, wherever there were books, were crowded with people just to buy a set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". In those days, there were no review materials and people had to rely entirely on textbooks, so this series of books became everyone's hope for success.

He Yuzhu had foresight and had already obtained a set of books, which were very cheap, less than 50 cents per book. After all, this set of materials had been suppressed, so it was normal that it was cheap. With this set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", plus a university professor as a tutor, he was like a tiger with wings.

The time spent studying always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the exam. That morning, the mother-in-law got up early and cooked two eggs for He Yuzhu, hoping that he could get perfect scores in every subject.

"Thank you mom!"

He Yuzhu was very touched. He lived in Zhu Lin's home for nearly two months. During this period, his mother-in-law's constant care made him feel the long-lost maternal love, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"You child!" Mother Zhu said with concern.

After the family finished breakfast, He Yuzhu drove Zhu Lin to the examination room. In order for him to take the exam with peace of mind, Zhu Lin even took three days off!

The exam was held at a middle school. When He Yuzhu arrived, the place was already full of people, with groups of three or five blocking the gate.

"Oh my God, so many people!" Zhu Lin was stunned.

"The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years, so how can there not be many people taking the exam!" After parking the car, He Yuzhu took Zhu Lin to look at the bulletin board. He wanted to confirm the exam subjects again.

"Chinese in the morning, math in the afternoon!" Zhu Lin read out while looking at the bulletin board.

The exams on the first day are the same for all subjects, whether they are liberal arts or science. The differences are only made on the second day. The liberal arts exam is a comprehensive test of politics, history and geography, while the science exam is a test of three subjects: politics, physics, and chemistry.

Of course, there is an additional foreign language test, but this is not a compulsory subject. Only those who apply for related majors will take it, and the score will not be included in the total score.

He Yuzhu tightened Zhu Lin's scarf and said, "I don't know when it will start!"

"Look how anxious you are!" Zhu Lin said with a smile.

Can you not be in a hurry?

He Yuzhu just turned 15 this year, which just meets the admission requirements (40 to years old). If he waits another year, he will have to change his age.

As they were talking, the sun slowly rose up, and perhaps because of the tension, many people began to sweat.

“When does it start?”

"Why haven't you opened the door yet?"

"..."

"..."

Just when everyone was getting impatient, the school gate finally opened. Everyone rushed in and began to look for their own examination rooms.

He Yuzhu held Zhu Lin's hand tightly and said solemnly: "I'm going in!"

It was like a soldier saying goodbye, and Zhu Lin was also moved.

"Well, take your time and don't rush, okay?"

"I know!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu walked into the examination room resolutely. He knew that from this moment on, his life would change completely!

Zhu Lin stared at He Yuzhu's back and silently shouted, "Husband, you can do it!"
