"Last night, there was quite a commotion. I heard that when they were taken to the police station, Li Heman was naked."
"I have long seen that something is wrong with this old bachelor Li Heman. He doesn't look like a good person when he looks at people. He deserves it."
Good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention such "breaking" news, it quickly spread throughout the neighborhood.
When he was at school, Qiao Yicheng quietly pulled Qin Hao aside.
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
Qin Hao patted Qiao Yicheng on the shoulder: "If we didn't go back that day, think about the consequences. A scum like this should be allowed to undergo socialist transformation."
The image of Li Heman and his sister Qiao Sanli staying together that day appeared in Qiao Yicheng's mind, and his palms couldn't help but sweat.
"Well, that widow..."
"Don't worry. If she recants her confession, it will be a false accusation and she will also go to jail. If you send Li Heman in, you will not only get fifty yuan and thirty kilograms of food stamps, but also a sewing machine. She knows how to choose."
"I'll give you the money and food stamps, and sew the plane tickets..."
"It's ready. Just give me two hundred yuan."
Qiao Yicheng finally chose to acquiesce. In his mind, his family always comes first.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed, and the time has quickly come to 1983.
This year Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng turned eighteen and began preparing for the college entrance examination.
Qiao Erqiang has also reached the age of 15 and is about to take the high school entrance examination. Perhaps he has developed a certain interest in electronics. Qiao Erqiang did not drop out of school early. Although his grades in junior high school were not very good, he relied on his high scores in mathematics and physics.
I can rank in the middle of the class, so it won't be a problem to get into high school.
"Mom, Dad, brother, I want to take the technical secondary school entrance examination."
During dinner in the afternoon, Qiao Erqiang suddenly made a solemn announcement.
Qiao Zuwang immediately agreed upon hearing this: "It's good to take the technical secondary school entrance examination. The technical secondary school will provide the distribution, and you can work immediately after finishing school."
Qiao Yicheng rolled his eyes when he heard this. Others may not know, but he was very clear about his father's calculations. Wasn't he just thinking that his brother would not have to spend money to go to technical secondary school, and he would still have money to spend after graduation from work.
Wei Shuying put down the chopsticks in her hand and persuaded her earnestly.
"Top 2, you don't have to worry about tuition. Mom can still afford it. You have to think clearly. Your grades are not bad. If you work hard in high school, you might be able to get into college."
When Qiao Zu saw his wife openly contradicting him, he was so angry that he slammed the table.
"You woman, what do you know? Can you get admitted to university casually? How many generations does it take for a college student to emerge from the ancestral graves? What's wrong with technical secondary schools? There are so many people who have sharpened their brains and can't even get in.
Let’s go.”
Wei Shuying ignored her husband's accusations. She was no longer a housewife who could only stay at home to give birth and take care of her children. She had a job to support her children and did not have to rely on anyone to live her life.
Qiao Yicheng looked at his younger brother seriously: "Have you made up your mind? Are you really not going to fight again?"
Qiao Erqiang scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Brother, you also know my situation. I can still learn mathematics and physics, but I really have no interest in other subjects.
The questions are simple, so I can pass the exam just fine by memorizing them by rote. I also read your books in high school, but I really can’t learn them."
"Instead of wasting time, it is better to go to a technical secondary school, choose a major that I like, and learn a craft. Brother Hao said that if you learn microelectronics, you will have a lot of potential in the future, so I will learn this."
Wei Shuying frowned slightly: "Haozi really said that?"
"Well, Brother Hao said that when the policy is relaxed in the future, with this skill, I can open an electrical appliance repair shop, which will be enough for me to buy a house and marry a wife." After Qiao Erqiang finished speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Seeing that his son was rarely on his side, Qiao Zu was very proud and patted Qiao Erqiang on the shoulder.
"Son, don't listen to your mother. What do women know? If your father supports you, just take the technical secondary school entrance examination."
Qiao Yicheng gave Qiao Zu a blank look, then turned to look at his determined younger brother, and sighed: "Okay, since you have thought so clearly, then take the technical secondary school entrance examination."
Qiao Simei suppressed it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer and said delicately.
"Second brother, when you get a salary from work, remember to buy me a gift."
Qiao Sanli pinched her sister's chubby little face and laughed and scolded: "It will be several years before my second brother can go to work. Are you now targeting his salary?"
Everyone burst into laughter. Only Qiao Zuwang looked a little unnatural. In fact, he had already begun to think about Qiao Erqiang's salary. As for opening a store, he didn't care. What kind of future could a self-employed person have? How could he enter a factory?
Drought and flood ensure stable harvest.
In the months leading up to the college entrance examination, Qiao Yicheng would go to Qin Hao's house to review together every night. When he encountered questions he didn't know, he would ask Qin Hao for advice.
Qiao Yicheng's progress is also very obvious. He has ranked among the best in the school in several mock tests and is full of confidence in the college entrance examination.
"By the way, Haozi, which school do you plan to attend?" Qiao Yicheng suddenly stopped writing.
Qin Hao thought for a while: "Let's go to Jinling University."
Qiao Yicheng looked at Qin Hao in surprise when he heard this. All the teachers and students in the school thought that Qin Hao's goal should be a top university like Qingbei.
“Why Jinling University?”
“Close to home, no hassle.”
"Is that why?"
"What if?"
A prestigious school like Qingbei may have a fatal attraction for others, but for Qin Hao, it is completely unnecessary. On the one hand, he has no intention of relying on his academic qualifications from a prestigious university to make a living. On the other hand, the transportation in this era
It’s really hard to describe. It takes at least a day or two to take a train from the south to the north. It’s too strenuous.
Qiao Yicheng blinked, not knowing what to say. He had never thought that someone would reject Qingbei because they disliked the fact that the capital was too far away.
"What about you? Where are you going to take the exam?" Qin Hao asked.
This really confused Qiao Yicheng. Originally, he planned to take the Qingbei exam with Qin Hao. With his current results and performance, Qingbei should be fine, but now Qin Hao said
He stopped going to Qingbei and directly confused Qiao Yicheng.
"Don't look at me. Where you go to school depends entirely on your own wishes. Although the capital is a bit far away, it's actually pretty good. You can go and see it. If you don't like the city, you can do it."
"I...I'll think about it again."
Soon, the day of the college entrance examination came. Wei Shuying prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Qiao Yicheng early in the morning, which made Qiao Zuwang complain about her spending money. But after all, he ate more than anyone else.
On the other side, Wu Guihua also got up early, nagging Qin Hao, saying, don't be nervous during the exam, and mark the papers carefully.
"Mom, please stop nagging, it makes me nervous." Qin Xianglan couldn't help complaining.
Wu Guihua rolled her eyes at her: "You still have the nerve to say it. Looking at your results, I don't even care to talk about you."
"That's better than you not finishing elementary school."
"Hey, you damn girl, you dare to talk back to me, right? If I don't teach you a lesson today, just write the word Wu Guihua backwards."
"A little, a little, but I can't hit it."
Qin Hao watched the mother and daughter bickering and was secretly amused.
Qin Xianglan is also twelve years old this year, which happens to be the same age as Qiao Sanli. However, this girl and Qiao Sanli have completely different personalities. She is lively and out-of-the-box, but she is a bit similar to Qiao Simei's personality. As for whether she is a face-controller, it is not yet known.
can not tell.
Qin Xianglan's grades are also hard to describe. Even if Qin Hao gives her small tutoring lessons from time to time, her grades are still in the middle and lower reaches of the class, worse than Qiao Erqiang. After all, Qiao Erqiang still has two advantageous subjects. She is an expert.
They were all hovering around 70, and Wu Guihua was also worried about this.
At the entrance of the college entrance examination room, Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng were about to enter the examination room, when Qi Zhiqiang and his wife happened to see off their son Qi Weimin.
"Second aunt, second uncle, cousin." Qiao Yicheng greeted softly.
"Yicheng, Haozi, take the exam well, don't be nervous, as long as you show your usual grades, it won't be a problem to get into a good university." Qi Zhiqiang encouraged.
"Um."
Qiao Yicheng was always a little uncomfortable facing his cousin Qi Weimin's family. On the one hand, Qi Weimin's grades were always better than his, which made him always feel that he was being overpowered. On the other hand, he learned from his father Qiao Zuwang's drunken remarks that
He had some grudges and disputes between his parents, which made him always feel that his second uncle had some intention in helping his family.
Qi Weimin didn't care about Qiao Yicheng's indifferent attitude and patted his arm enthusiastically: "Take the exam well and see you in the capital."
Qiao Yicheng opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words. In fact, he had no idea which university he wanted to attend.
"Let's go in, don't think too much." Qin Hao said to Qiao Yicheng.
"Um."
On August 5th, the college entrance examination results were officially announced. At this time, there were no phone inquiries. To know how you did in the exam, you could only go to the school and look at the list.
Wu Guihua and Wei Shuying both took leave that day and made breakfast early. After eating, they took the two families to the No. 1 Middle School to see the rankings.
There was a buzz of people at the school gate, and even before the announcement of the results was even started, there was already a crowd of people watching the excitement.
When Qin Hao saw this scene, he suddenly felt like he had traveled back to ancient times.
This scene is comparable to that of the ancient examination results.
"Hey, Osmanthus fragrans, Shuying, are you all here?"
"Yeah, the results will be released today, and I won't feel at ease if I don't see the results with my own eyes."
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Haozi and Yichen's grades are not just random choices."
"For your good advice, it would be great if this were the case."
Even Qiao Zuwang, who usually dismissed his son's college entrance examination, started to tremble at this time.
"Then 10% of our family will definitely go to Qingbei. This child is thanks to my good teaching. Even if you think he is willing to study now, he was also a bargain when he was a child..."
Qiao Yicheng couldn't stand listening anymore. He didn't know how much his father cared about him.
"Mom, let me go to the front and take a look. The second strong ones are optimistic about Simei and Qiqi."
"Oh, I understand, brother."
Qin Xianglan saw Qiao Yicheng squeezing to the front, and took Qin Hao's hand: "Brother, let's go to the front too."
"Why are you so anxious? There are so many people. It's the same thing after everyone has dispersed. The exam is over anyway. If you look at it earlier, the results won't change." Qin Hao grabbed his sister's hand and stopped her from running around. This girl is
People go crazy and don't let go when they go outside. There are so many people here, if something happens, it will be troublesome.
"Okay." Qin Xianglan pursed her lips reluctantly.
After half an hour, the crowd began to commotion and some people shouted.
"The results are released!"
"The results are out."
Wu Guihua and Wei Shuying were both excited, but unfortunately there were too many people at the school gate and they couldn't squeeze in.
After a while, I heard the cry of candidates from the crowd. I don't know whether they were crying with joy because they did well in the exam, or crying in agony if they failed.
"Sister Shuying, are you nervous? My feet are shaking." Wu Guihua still couldn't hold back and revealed her true inner thoughts.
Wei Shuying tried to comfort her, but actually she was very nervous in her heart.
At this time, Qiao Yicheng finally emerged from the crowd, jumping and shouting all the way from a distance.
"I passed the exam, I passed the exam!"
When the parents they knew around them saw this, they all cast envious glances at Wu Guihua and Wei Shuying.
Finally, Qiao Yicheng gasped and squeezed back.
"Mom, I got a score of 462, third in the school!"
Wei Shuying immediately hugged Qiao Yicheng and cried with joy: "I knew our family Yicheng was good."
Qiao Zuwang also patted Qiao Yicheng on the shoulder with rare excitement: "Haha, my son scored 462 points in the exam. What a good son, you really give credit to our old Qiao family!"
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli said sincerely.
Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi were thinking, if they are so happy today, will there be anything delicious?
"Yicheng, how did our Haozi do in the exam?" Wu Guihua finally couldn't help but interrupt the Qiao family's rare moment of tenderness.
Only then did Wei Shuying let go of her son. Qiao Yicheng shook his head, which instantly made Wu Guihua's originally earnest face fall by more than half.
"Ah? Did our Haozi do poorly in the exam?"
Qiao Yicheng shook his head and sighed: "You are number one in the school again, 488, how did you do it?"
Hearing this score, everyone present exclaimed again. You must know that the total score of the college entrance examination in the 1980s was only 500 points, which was equivalent to a deduction of 12 points for all Qin Hao's subjects.
"Osmanthus, Shuying, your family, Haozi and Yicheng, have done so well in the exams. Shouldn't we set up some tables?"
"Yeah, you can go to Qingbei with such scores. It's the highest university in the country. You can't be stingy."
"Hehe, I'm determined to drink this meal, you have to let us feel happy along with it."
Wu Guihua also woke up from the shock at this time and waved her hand: "Well, when the notice comes out, I will treat everyone to a drink."
"That's right, you'll all come to our house for a drink then." Naturally, Qiao Zuwang would not let go of such a good opportunity. Hosting a banquet would not only make Lao Qiao's parents look good, but he could also take the opportunity to make some "extra money."
Wei Shuying was also a rare generous person and agreed wholeheartedly.
