Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

After talking about Li Muhua, Li Haifu looked at Li Yujie again.

"Yujie, your mother and I don't want to rush you, but Qinghua and Muhua are both married now, and they even have a little niece."

"Aihua's boyfriend will be back tomorrow, so you have to hurry up with your work!"

What worries Li Haifu the most now is Li Yujie. Now that Li Muhua's matter has been settled, he is no longer worried.

Li Yujie frowned slightly and refused directly, saying, "Dad, you should investigate your brother's partner more. A failed marriage is terrible. I have seen it happen to me."

Li Haifu sighed after hearing this, and all the words of advice he had intended to give were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Forget it, it's up to you. Remember to write a letter to your brother. After all, this is his first time spending the New Year away from home. I think he will definitely miss home."

"Yes." Li Yujie agreed and said, "I'll write it later. If I send it tomorrow, it will take until the first month of the lunar year for it to reach him. He won't be able to receive it before the New Year."

Li Haifu walked away with his hands behind his back and said, "He deliberately sent the letter late, fearing that we would write letters or call to persuade him to come back. Remember not to persuade him at all, just wish him a happy New Year in the countryside."

"When your niece comes, take her to take pictures first, and send her a diary every day praising her. Let her stay in the countryside and work hard!"

Li Yujie's eyes couldn't help but become horrified, this was truly a murderous act.

Li Haifu and her father - they are so scary!

……

Although there is a call for a revolutionary Spring Festival, in the remote and poor Xiaowang Village, no one is serious about this matter. Even the people in the commune revolutionary committee are eager to go home for the New Year or eat and drink to their heart's content in the commune.

The most common thing during the Chinese New Year is slaughtering pigs, so they don’t have time to wander around the village.

So on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the team stopped working.

But it was boring to stay in the countryside during the holidays. There were no restaurants, ice rinks, cinemas or other places for entertainment. They didn't even have any relatives to visit.

Every day, there were only seven of them wandering around the yard.

I can only rely on games such as poker, chess, and gobang to keep this boring life going.

……

In September of the following year——

After hearing the news, it was like the sky was falling. Li Muhua was also notified to return to the city to attend the condolences.

After attending the mourning work, Li Muhua rushed back to Xiaowang Village and did not dare to stay in the city for another day.

After that, Li Muhua revealed the possibility of resuming the college entrance examination, and made up a story that sounded very convincing.

It also elaborated in detail that the more people knew, the greater the competitive pressure they would have, so they were encouraged to keep it a secret from everyone and study hard on their own.

No one had any doubt about Li Muhua, who had just attended the condolences, and they all tried their best to learn after hearing it.

They really wanted to go back to the city.

You have to know that it is very difficult for educated youth like them who came to the countryside to work in the fields to be allocated a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, or a place in the factory or in the army.

There were educated youth in the old city and in the local area. These good things only went to the commune at most, and all went to the educated youth who returned to the local area.

If the family had no connections and had not met Li Muhua, they would have had almost no future in this remote area.

Now that they saw Li Muhua was taking his books and preparing to go back for the exam, they were too embarrassed to ask for help in transferring back, and they were all trying their best to return to the city on their own.

If you really can't pass the exam, it won't be shameful to ask for help from others.

Of course, this news would not be hidden from Aihua, Qinghua, Li Yujie and others. Li Muhua wrote letters to inform them, hoping that all his family members would be admitted to the first batch of colleges.

"One year!"

Li Muhua looked at the educated youths who were studying hard with books in their arms and thought to himself, "They are studying a year in advance, and they have complete textbooks. I am a college student and I will teach them. I don't believe that all seven of them can't get ashore."

A month later, news came that the Gang of Four had been crushed, and they became even more convinced of Li Muhua's news.

Study harder and harder, almost like working yourself to death.

Time flies and it is the end of the year. This year, Li Muhua still did not choose to return to the city to celebrate the New Year, although the city's riots have now come to an end.

At the end of October of the second year -

Just one month later, the daily newspaper published the news that the college entrance examination had been resumed.

After a year of hard study, she finally saw the dawn of hope. Han Lu couldn't help but burst into tears while holding the newspaper. Even Hu Lai and Zhao Quan had tears in their eyes.

After thinking for a while, Li Muhua urged: "I think the questions for the first college entrance examination will be easier, but we can't be careless."

"The number of students who have survived for more than a decade is so high that they compete for a place in a university. The admission rate may be as low as one in ten, and even one in twenty or one in thirty is too high."

Li Muhua spoke very seriously, and several people couldn't help but turn pale after listening to him.

You have to know that even ten years ago, college students were 99% rare, and they might not even be able to get into college.

Now, ten years later——

Several people suddenly felt anxious.

Li Muhua continued, "The situation is not optimistic. I will go and tell Captain Li and Secretary Wang that everyone should calm down and study hard in the last month and stop working to earn work points."

Several people agreed to this proposal. After all, there is no comparison between work points and university.

Hu Lai gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! We knew the news a year earlier than others, and you and Han Lu have been teaching us. Now we have to stop working and studying for a month. If we still can't get into college, I will just find a toilet and drown myself!"

Seeing Hu Lai so confident, Li Muhua smiled comfortably. His efforts this year were not in vain, and he felt that with Hu Lai's grades, it should be no problem for him to get into school.

But when Li Muhua glanced at Zhou Ru beside him, there was some worry in his eyes.

Zhou Ru's academic performance is indeed the worst among the few people, and Zhou Li, a junior high school graduate -

So he comforted Hu Lai, saying, "Don't fall into the toilet and drown. Even if you don't get into university, I will find a way to transfer you back when I return to Beijing."

After hearing this, several people's faces flashed with excitement, and Zhou Quan also asked: "What about me?"

"It's all the same, all the same. Didn't you hear I was talking about you?"

"Don't even mention sending you back. I'll even arrange work for you when the time comes."

Li Muhua even took over the work of several people, for fear that they would be under too much psychological pressure and break down at the last moment.

Several people looked relieved and instantly felt that there was a bright future ahead. Zhao Quan and Hu Lai even picked up Li Muhua and praised him for being righteous.

Li Muhua broke free and said, "I said this so that you don't feel pressured. Going back to the city is not a problem. Just calm down and study."

"I can only arrange a worker position for you, but if you can pass the college entrance examination, then I don't need to tell you anything, right?"

Zhao Quan grinned and agreed, "I know. Even you are working hard to learn, so how can I not know that college students are better?"

"The lowest you can get after you get into university is a technician, or a leading cadre."

"Of course college students are better. I'm making a pledge today that I won't go back to the city until I get admitted to college. The first thing I'm going to do after entering college is to find a partner..." Hu Lai echoed behind him.

Han Lu was still holding the newspaper and reading it word by word, seeming to still be a little unconvinced.

Zhou Ru seemed a little depressed, pursing her lips and not saying a word.

Even more depressed than her was Zhou Li, who sat blankly at the table.

It turned out that she could only take the technical secondary school entrance examination.
