The men were drinking outside, and the women also gathered together to talk. The meal lasted until about nine o'clock in the night. Gu Shoufu was happy and rarely got drunk.
Chen Lishu stayed at home for another day. On the morning of the third day, she went to the admissions office in town with Xu Ning and Wang Tiegang to get the physical examination form and check her scores.
In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, there are four subjects in total. In addition to the compulsory examination of mathematics, Chinese, and politics, the remaining subjects are one of comprehensive arts and comprehensive science. Each subject has a full score of 100 points, and the total score is 400. Foreign languages are not counted.
You can fill in three applications. Xu Ning applied for the Provincial Medical University. Because she had prepared to review in advance, she scored a total of 357 points, which was more than 50 points above the admission score.
Wang Tiegang is relatively conservative. He applied for a junior college and was more than 20 points higher than the admission score.
Chen Lishu scored a total of 295 points in the exam. Fortunately, she almost passed the admission score of the Provincial Normal University.
The reason why she chose this school in the first place was because it was the alma mater of Ding Yongfeng and Sun Shuzhen. After all, it could produce such excellent teachers as them, so she couldn't help but yearn for it.
After checking their scores, the three of them filled out the physical examination form and walked towards the county health center.
…
In a low and dilapidated thatched house behind Hongxing Village, a two-meter-long kang occupies half of the entire house.
At this moment, a thin and desolate body was wrapped under a patched tattered quilt on the kang.
Not far away, a similarly thin figure was carefully picking up the medicine jar from the stove and pouring the thick concoction into the bowl. He quickly picked up the bowl and blew gently on it twice.
"Dad, get up and drink the medicine." Lin Qi came closer with the medicine. The man on the kang moved and sat up with difficulty.
"It's all me who has caused you trouble."
It's all because of his birth that his children have to suffer here. Now that he is sick again, the family may not even have enough rice to cook.
"Dad, don't think so much. Leave the rest to me. Uncle Zhou specially prepared the herbs to treat your disease."
Lin Yuliang picked up the medicine bowl, glanced at his son, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"Is Lao Lin at home? Your Lin Qi has been admitted to college. The admissions office sent someone to inform him. He should go to town to get the physical examination form."
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and a man in his forties or fifties ran in.
"Uncle Zhou, are you telling the truth?" Lin Qi stood up suddenly and looked at the man with a look of disbelief.
"It's absolutely true. Go to the town quickly to get the physical examination form. It will be over after a while."
"Dad?" Lin Qi turned her head, her eyes shining brightly.
Lin Yuliang urged happily: "I'm fine, go quickly."
When Lin Qi heard what he said, he immediately put down the bowl in his hand and ran out.
The village was more than ten miles away from the town. He ran to the entrance of the admissions office in one breath. Until now, Lin Qi still felt that everything was a little unreal.
His family is a landowner and even has overseas connections. He has been bullied and ostracized by the people around him since he was a child.
When he was in school, he could not join the Young Pioneers on duty. Even though he had excellent academic performance, there was still no place for him among the workers, peasants and soldiers college students. Later, the four disaster stars fell and the policy was relaxed. However, the village agreed but the commune did not agree. It was not easy until the commune could
Agreed, but not in town.
In this way, he couldn't see any hope, and in the end he could only accept his fate in frustration. Who knew that the country would resume the college entrance examination, and he actually passed the exam successfully.
…
After the physical examination was completed, the three of them were very happy when they received the report and saw that everything passed. The next step was to fill in the political review materials, then return to the village to have them stamped and sent to the admissions office, and then they just waited to get the admission notice.
Early on the day when the political review materials were delivered, it started to get cloudy outside, and when the three of them were halfway there, snowflakes started to fall from the sky.
Before the three of them could reach the entrance of the Admissions Office, they suddenly heard noise coming from inside.
"Why don't you let me pass? My family has obviously been rehabilitated and the village seal has been affixed, why are you still not allowed to pass!" Lin Qi looked at the people in the office, his face turned red and he said excitedly.
How much determination did he take to take the exam? The results came out, but he ended up stuck on the political review.
"It's not that we don't want to give it to you, it's that your file is questionable. It's right to take off your hat, but your family has overseas connections."
"What does that group of people have to do with me abroad? Why does she still involve us even though that woman is dead?"
Lin Qi pulled her hair in collapse, and suddenly took out a bottle of dichlorvos from her bag: "If you don't give it to me, I will die here today!"
Since pleading is useless, this is the only last resort left.
When Chen Lishu and Xu Ning came in, they saw Lin Qi holding a pesticide bottle to commit suicide.
"Comrade, if you want to be more liberal, please don't do anything stupid. Failure to pass the political review is decided by the organization, and we have to follow the arrangements, right?"
"Yes, even if you are approved now, your information will still be rejected when it reaches the university."
"Lin Qi?" Chen Lishu looked at his thin figure and called out uncertainly.
Lin Qi turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw clearly that the person standing behind him was Chen Lishu, a look of sadness appeared on his face.
"Sister Chen, I listened to your advice and took the exam, but they said I had overseas connections and would not live or die."
After all, he was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. When he saw this person who had helped him before, he subconsciously felt a little more dependent on him.
Chen Lishu felt very uncomfortable when she saw his painful expression. She did not expect that the political review process would be so strict, and she even regretted saying that to him in the first place.
If she hadn't talked too much, maybe he wouldn't have thought about taking the exam at all. The biggest blow in life would probably be to be given hope and then fall into despair.
"Lin Qi, please calm down. In fact, there is not only one way out in life: going to college. As the saying goes, someone who has a career of 360 will be number one. Besides, you are so smart, you will definitely develop well in the future."
Chen Lishu looked into his eyes seriously and advised him warmly.
"There is no way out, they have blocked my way out!" Lin Qi said bitterly, pulling out the rubber stopper on the pesticide bottle in his hand.
Everyone present was immediately startled, and Chen Lishu was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
"How old are you? You will have many wonderful experiences in the future. If you trust me, I will provide you with an opportunity. What do you think?"
Lin Qi slowed down a lot when he heard her words: "What chance can you give me?"
When Chen Lishu saw that it was effective, she came to him and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I go to college to get a good job. You have to agree. I can hire you as my employee and pay you a monthly salary."
