Time flew by and the first day of school came in the blink of an eye.
One week before the start of school, Li Jie officially resigned from his 'job'. He was the last educated youth to resign. Yao Wenguang and others resigned half a month earlier than him.
Speaking of which, they, this group of educated youths, also set a record. All those who took the college entrance examination at the Qianmenlouzi tea stall were admitted. This incident caused quite a shock in a small area, and later even evolved into
A strange story.
All nine educated youths from the same booth were admitted, and the admission rate was 100%!
This was a very difficult task at the time, as many towns and even some counties did not even have a single college student.
However, communication in this era remained unchanged, and they lived in different places, so this anecdote did not attract widespread attention.
What's more, this trivial matter is not worthy of media coverage. Not to mention that all of them have been admitted to college. Even Li Jie, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, has not received much coverage.
After all, this is not the age of entertainment for later generations. There are only so many news media, most of which are state media, and the number of newspapers and periodicals across the country is limited.
In addition, the college entrance examination scores were not announced to the outside world. Li Jie didn't even check how many scores he got in the college entrance examination, as long as the notice arrived.
He didn't know his scores until the reporter came. He had 79 in Chinese, 120 in mathematics, 200 in physics and chemistry, and a total score of 399. He ranked first among all Yanjing candidates and was the top scorer in the 77th Yanjing Science College Entrance Examination.
(The essay score is 79, the full score is 80, and one point is deducted. Historically, the essay score of the top scorer in the first college entrance examination in Yanjing was 79, and one point was deducted. The protagonist's score cannot be considered a BUG.)
Even if we look at the whole country, this score is well deserved to be first.
When Li Jie learned about this score, he was not particularly excited. It was just a basic operation. On the contrary, the reporter was very excited, as if he had won the first prize in the exam.
However, even so, Li Jie, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, did not get much page coverage. It was slightly stronger than Tofu Blocks. About four or five Tofu Blocks reported this matter.
Moreover, the content of the report did not mention him too much, but was more about discussing the significance of the college entrance examination itself.
If you don't pay special attention, many people may forget about it after watching it.
Although he failed to show his face in front of the people across the country, the fact that Li Jie won the top prize in the Hutong area, especially in Beiwanzi Hutong, triggered a great deal of discussion.
In the past few months, Mother Han has been dreaming with a smile, a long face, a big long face!
Not only was my son admitted to a top university, he was also the top scorer in the college entrance examination!
In the past, many people looked down on their sons' work, thinking that selling tea was dirty, tiring, and disgraceful. Before the college entrance examination, some people secretly laughed at the little boy for overestimating his abilities.
Things are different now. The little five are all in the newspaper. Although the page is not large, it is a state-run newspaper after all. It is really proud of me!
Except for his own son, no one else in the courtyard has ever appeared in the newspapers. Let alone the courtyard, there is no one in the whole alley who has appeared in the official media.
If Li Jie hadn't tried to dissuade her many times, Mother Han would have planned to hold a banquet to celebrate her. This was the first place in the city, and most likely the first place in the country. Even in the past, she was a veritable number one.
Even though Li Jie persuaded her many times, Mother Han resisted the urge to prepare a banquet, but Mother Han still couldn't help but want to share the joy with others.
After the news spread throughout the yard, Mother Han went out to buy five kilograms of white rabbits and distributed candies from door to door.
The reason why Mother Han did this was that on the one hand she was too happy, and on the other hand she also wanted to see them face to face and see the expressions of those who had gossiped behind their backs before.
On the day when the candy was given out, Mother Han came back from a circle and felt that she was ten years older. She was full of energy, her face was full of spring breeze, and the corners of her mouth were filled with an uncontrollable smile.
Although they could not hold a flowing banquet, Han's mother still held several wedding receptions. The Han family gathered once, relatives on Han's father's side gathered once, and relatives on Han's mother's side gathered once.
There were three weddings in total. In order to hold these weddings, Han's mother, who had been diligent and frugal for many years, was extravagant. She spent nearly a hundred yuan, which was more than the money spent on the wedding flowers of her second sister Han Chunyan.
After spending so much money, although the brothers and sisters didn't say anything openly, it was inevitable that they would be upset in their hearts.
This is a hundred dollars!
Mother Han has retired for many years and although she has saved some money, the amount of money is definitely not a small amount.
The eldest brother Han Chunsong once expressed to Li Jie in a vague way that he should persuade Han's mother to celebrate, but there is no need to spend so much money, it is a complete waste.
Li Jie did not argue with his elder brother at that time because it was pointless.
In the minds of the other brothers and sisters, Han's mother's savings are pension funds, part of which are deposits before retirement, part of which are post-retirement subsidies, and most of the rest are paid by them every month.
This money was indeed paid by Mother Han. He didn't pay a dime. He didn't contribute the money not because he didn't have it or because he couldn't bear it, but because even if he offered to give it to him, Mother Han wouldn't take it.
It might even ruin Mother Han's mood, and she might even have to make a scene.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let Mother Han spend the money happily. Li Jie is responsible for Mother Han's future pension anyway, so it doesn't matter even if Mother Han spends all her savings.
Without savings, will Mother Han’s quality of life decline?
Besides, one hundred yuan is not much. One thing Li Jie didn't tell Han Chunsong and the others was that since he started making money, the money he handed over to Han's mother alone was more than one hundred yuan.

"Chunming, I have put the washbasin, sheets, thermos, bedding, and water cup together for you. I have packed the remaining towels, toothpaste, and toothbrush items into a separate package for you."
…………
"Tomorrow is the first day of school. Go to bed early tonight and go early tomorrow to leave a good impression on the teachers."
"You are now a college student. In the future, you will be a national cadre after graduation. You must study hard."
…………
"When you get to school, get along well with your classmates and don't get into conflicts with them."
…………
"No matter how good the school cafeteria is, it's not as good as at home. It's not far away anyway. Remember to come back when you have nothing to do. Mom will prepare delicious food for you."
…………
"Do you have enough money on you? Do you want mom to get you some?"
…………
"You can't carry so many things by yourself. Do you really don't want me to send you there?"
…………
"Or you can ask your eldest brother to send it off. I'll inform him right away and ask him to take leave tomorrow."
…………
The night before school started, Mother Han checked her luggage over and over again and repeatedly told Li Jie to study hard, build a good relationship with teachers and classmates, and avoid conflicts.
Not only today, Mother Han started chanting sutras a few days ago. The closer the school started, the more blessings she gave, over and over again.
