They went to the county town to register and returned to the educated youth center, which was the beginning of their desperate efforts. There was still more than a month left. They must review their homework well in this month and get admitted to college.
Teacher Xu and Teacher Li said that although more than a month is short, everyone is actually on the same starting line now. Before that, whether they were still staying in various educated youth centers or those who had returned to the city or entered the factory,
Who knows how to study? Who has ever thought about going to college? Everyone has just received the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination and is starting to prepare now.
From now until the exam, everyone will actually be comparing for more than a month, whether your preparation is sufficient or not. We are not pursuing how many points in the exam, but how many people are competing, even if we only get 12 points in the exam
, it seems that the scores are very bad, but if most people only get 11.5 points, we will be the ones who can go to college in the end.
Teacher Li thinks what Teacher Xu said makes sense. At that time, young people, especially educated youths, had similar basic skills. They were all driven to the countryside without even completing high school. Those who had completed their studies in school
For a complete high school, the teachers at that time were beaten down by what they could learn. Going to school meant not going to school.
What everyone is competing for is really more than one month of preparation time. This more than one month is the real work.
They spent a day selling the two pigs that they planned to raise for more than two months and kill before the Spring Festival. Then, they had no time to pull pig weeds or feed them. Time was of the essence to them.
, is the most precious.
They sold all the vegetables that were ripe for sale, and those that were not yet ripe, and then left them to grow wildly in the fields like wild vegetables. They had no time to take care of them, but only cut a few to eat when needed.
.
There are so many chickens and ducks, but only three old hens are left, and the others are sold. The reason for keeping three old hens is so that they can lay eggs every day. One hen lays one egg a day, every five or six days.
They will take a day off, stop laying eggs, and resume laying eggs the next day. In this way, they can ensure that they have more than two eggs to eat every day.
It turns out that apart from boiling an egg for their son every day, Teacher Li and Teacher Xu themselves are reluctant to eat it. Eggs are a good thing and can be exchanged for food stamps, rice, oil and other things they need. Now, they have to review it every day.
They also need nutrition.
The remaining three hens do not need to be fed by them every day. They can find the food they want in such a large yard and vegetable field, and they will go back by themselves when they feel like egging in the afternoon.
He lay down in the chicken coop, laid eggs, called "big, big, big" happily, and went out again.
When the sun goes down, the hens will return to the henhouse by themselves. Teacher Li only needs to walk over and close the door of the henhouse to prevent weasels from crawling in at night. Every morning, Teacher Xu will open the door of the henhouse.
They went to the canteen of the chemical plant. When people in the canteen saw these chickens and ducks, they were like seeing treasures, especially old hens. At that time, who had old hens that could lay eggs and were willing to sell them? They kept them for laying eggs.
Even if you have money, you can't buy an old hen. And the legendary old hen is a big supplement. You can eat the stewed old hen. Oh my God, what a treat it is.
The people in the cafeteria gave them money and food stamps. This time, Teacher Xu wanted the national mobile food stamps, which were larger and more valuable than the provincial food stamps. Ten kilograms of provincial food stamps could only be exchanged for nine kilograms of national mobile food stamps.
Food stamps. What Teacher Xu thinks about is that they don’t know which university they will be admitted to next, so they must keep the national mobile food stamps until they can use them.
The people in the cafeteria also gave them two large bamboo baskets of steamed buns, hundreds of them. This was a steamer of steamed buns specially steamed for them at their request. The steamed buns in the chemical plant cafeteria are different from those sold on the street. Not only are they bigger, they are also steamed.
There is saccharin added to the noodles, so it tastes sweet and very delicious.
The two big baskets of steamed buns were taken home and became their staple food for more than a month. There was a charcoal brazier in the room, and they studied next to the charcoal brazier. When they were hungry, they put the tongs on the brazier and put the steamed buns on them.
Roast on the tongs until charred and fragrant.
There were so many steamed buns that no matter where they were placed, they were afraid of rats stealing them, so they had to hang the baskets in the air with hooks.
If this is not enough, the mice are very smart. They will climb down from the roof, along the rope hook, climb into the basket, and steal their steamed buns. They are at the top of the rope, near the bamboo beam where the rope is tied, and they will
Add star anise thorns collected from the mountains so that mice will not dare to crawl over.
They went to the grocery store in Huagong Xincun and bought four large cans of malted milk and biscuits. There was only one kind of biscuit in the grocery store, animal biscuits, which were biscuits made into the shapes of various animals. They were very popular.
Adults and children are welcome. Animal biscuits are packed in large tin boxes and sold by the pound. Some are broken, called biscuit corners, and are concentrated in another tin box.
In addition to money, you also need food stamps to buy biscuits. The price of broken biscuit corners is the same as that of complete biscuits, but no food stamps are needed. They bought all the biscuit corners in the grocery store, more than three kilograms. They bought all the biscuit corners.
I'm reluctant to use food stamps.
These biscuit corners are not only his son's snacks, but also his toys. Teacher Xu grabs a handful of biscuit corners for his son every day. When they are reviewing, his son is beside them, working hard to put together these biscuit corners like a jigsaw puzzle.
He wanted to piece together a complete animal. He was in tears as he tried to piece it together, but the animal in front of him still lacked arms and legs, so he could only eat them with watery eyes.
My son is doing well, even when he cries, he doesn't make any noise, he just sheds tears silently. His son, who is now a professor at the University of Göttingen, often recalls this story with his students. He said that his mother looked at him pitifully and would
He comforted him by telling him that when these little animals got into his belly, they would complete themselves and run and scream in his belly.
When my son heard this, he burst into laughter every time. After laughing, he lay down and listened quietly. In addition to hearing his parents communicating in low voices, he seemed to actually hear the sounds of these animals in his belly.
sound.
Other cakes in the grocery store also require food stamps. Just like the biscuit corner, the only two cakes that do not require food stamps are snow cakes, which cost ten cents per tube and ten snow cakes per tube. Snow cakes and now
The Wangwang Snow Cake is somewhat similar and is also a puffed food.
People at that time said that eating snow cakes was like eating farts, which meant that after eating a tube of snow cakes, it was equivalent to not eating it. There was no flowery one, and there was not much flour in it. No wonder I had to ask for food stamps.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
They also bought twenty tubes of snow cakes that looked like shit.
I also went to the Nanhuo Store next to the grocery store and bought a large bag of seaweed and three kilograms of dried shrimps. The dried shrimps can be eaten directly with your hands or mixed with soy sauce. Put the dried shrimps and seaweed together.
Once boiled, it becomes their main dish of steamed buns every day.
Stir up the fire in the brazier, put a steel pot on the tongs, wait for the water to boil, add seaweed, add shrimp skin, and then break in an egg, it will be a very nutritious seaweed and egg drop soup.
All the things that should be sold were sold, and all the things that should be purchased were purchased. Teacher Li and Teacher Xu carried the burdens, followed by a little boy, and returned to the educated youth point. They closed the courtyard door, bolted the door, and even held it on
A wooden stick was used for reinforcement.
From now until before the exam, they will close themselves in this courtyard and never go out again.
