Wang Manyin and Lanhua used all the ingredients available at home.
Braised pork, fried bacon with pepper, stewed mutton with radish, stewed chicken with potatoes, scrambled eggs, stewed pork with vermicelli.
Whether it was Runye rescuing Wang Manyin from the infrastructure construction site back then, or the friendship between Lanhua and Runye, or the heavy gift Runye brought today, they are all worthy of hospitality.
"Brother Man Yin, I have returned the book to you, but my brother Runsheng..."
After having enough wine and food, Tian Runye said embarrassedly.
"Run Ye, I understand what you mean. Do you want to lend this set of books to your brother again?"
"That's right, that's what it means."
"It's not that you can't borrow books, but Run Ye, you have to understand that the college entrance examination in six months' time will not be as simple as this time. The college entrance examination will be resumed in October and the exam will be held in December. The review time for the candidates who stayed in the college entrance examination this time is only more than a month.
, you have reviewed for half a year more than them, so a set of materials can get you into college."
"However, the college entrance examination in half a year will leave candidates with more than half a year. Various review materials have been reprinted and are not as scarce as before. If the basics are not good, there is not much hope of getting into college. Go back and ask Runsheng
, if he is willing to learn and the basics are okay, it is not a problem for him to borrow books from me."
"Okay, then I'll go home and ask Runsheng for his opinion, and then I'll test Runsheng's basics."
On the way to deliver Run Ye to the entrance of the village, Wang Manyin felt reassured when he saw Run Ye riding her bicycle steadily. Even though Run Ye looked weak, she was still a woman from northern Shaanxi, so she could drink a few bowls of rice wine without any problem.
When I got home, I saw Lan Hua holding the third child in one hand and flipping through the mathematics, physics and chemistry books that Run Ye had sent back with the other hand.
"Man Yin, does Runye even study this set of books and get admitted to university?"
"Well, that's right. I'm not just blowing orchids with you. If you can learn all these books, you can go to college."
"Then why don't you go to college?"
"I only went to elementary school, how could I learn so well in such a short time!"
"When did you buy this set of books?"
"I bought it in Huangyuan just before my third child was born."
"You knew then that the college entrance examination was going to be resumed?"
Lan Hua unusually kept asking, and Wang Manyin probably understood the reason.
"I heard someone say something like that, but I don't know if it's true or not. I originally wanted to read it myself, but found that I couldn't learn it, so I lent it to Runye to read first."
"Then why didn't you think of lending it to our Shaoping to read? Nor did you tell Shaoping about the resumption of the college entrance examination."
Orchid was so unusual today, Wang Manyin thought that this was the reason.
"You don't know what kind of person your second brother is. Can he believe the words of my second-rate brother-in-law?"
"So you lent the book to Runye?"
"Right, Run Ye teaches in the city. He has the most free time and the most solid foundation. The key thing is that I was sent to a labor camp and was released. It's a shame to Run Ye that such a precious book would not be lent to her.
.”
"Then you can lend the book to Shaoping to read now. Shaoping can continue to take the college entrance examination next year."
"Lanhua, didn't you listen to what I just said to Runye? The situation next year will be different. The candidates have been reviewing for more than half a year. If the foundation is not good, even if they have this set of materials, they still won't be able to get into college."
"Shaoping has always been a good student, and he must have a good foundation."
Lanhua said confidently.
"Have you ever seen a good student who goes to school to rehearse a model drama and is more serious than studying." Wang Manyin muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything. If Shaoping is really willing to learn, you can show it to him, but you can only take one volume at a time."
Wang Manyin didn't expect that Tian Runye would come home to return the books. It was really a waste to lend books to Sun Shaoping.
For Sun Shaoping, if he really wanted to go to college, it would not be difficult to borrow review materials.
During this period, Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia were fighting fiercely, and any money they earned was used to pay for postage.
Why are only two of Sun Shaoping's classmates, Tian Xiaoxia and Gu Yangmin, able to enter college?
Because the family conditions of the two of them are not ordinary, they can support their off-the-job study, and they can also get review materials.
There is always something wrong with one of Tian Xiaoxia and Sun Shaoping.
If Tian Xiaoxia hadn't told Sun Shaoping that she had been studying to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Then Sun Shaoping was encouraged to read novels, newspapers, and internal reference news every day.
Either Tian Xiaoxia told Sun Shaoping, but Sun Shaoping had no interest in studying.
Wang Manyin believes that the second possibility is more likely. Tian Xiaoxia is a girl with a boyish personality and does not seem to be a stingy person. If Sun Shaoping is willing to change his destiny through the college entrance examination, relying on his relationship with Tian Xiaoxia, borrowing study materials will not be a problem.
Apparently, passing this college entrance examination made Sun Shaoping realize clearly that he was a bad student.
Sun Shaoping, who was extremely eager to leave the countryside, gave up the path of changing his destiny through the college entrance examination.
"Then I'll go back another day and ask Shaoping. But Shaoping is definitely willing to learn. He never put down the book in his hand."
"Okay, you can also ask around when you go back. Runye has been admitted to university. Tian Futang will definitely hold a banquet in the village to celebrate. Runye has sent so many things. On the day of the celebration, we will also buy a gift to congratulate him."
"Runye has sent so many things here, so we have to get something of similar value back."
"I'm going to take a leave in the next two days to go to the county to buy a better pen and send it to Runye. Even an intellectual like Runye will need it."
Although Wang Manyin was not happy because Lanhua went back for Sun Shaoping, but among the three children, the third one was still young, Wang Manyin still had to follow.
When they arrived at Shuangshui Village, Wang Manyin saw Shaoping's good friend Jin Bo, who had returned from serving as a soldier.
Wearing a grass-green military uniform, don't be too conspicuous. People in the village mainly wear gray and black clothes. It's hard to mistake this outfit.
"Mom, Man Yin and I entered the village and saw a man in military uniform from a distance. Who is it?"
Lan Hua, mother and son, are both ordinary rural women, so naturally they can't talk without exchanging village gossip.
"How could you not recognize him?"
"If you were too far away, you could see all your clothes clearly."
"That's Jinbo."
"Didn't Jin Bo just serve as a soldier for more than a year?"
Lanhua's mother sighed and said, "I have returned from the army."
Lanhua's mother sighed because it was a pity that Jin Bo had not even reached the minimum service period.
The best way out for young people in this era is to study. Since ancient times, if you study well, you can jump over the dragon's gate. In the past, you could be recommended to go to university, but now you can take the college entrance examination.
The second is to serve as a soldier. After a few years of training in the army, if you perform well and have the ability, you can be promoted to a job. Once you are promoted, you will have an iron rice bowl.
Those who have not been demobilized and returned home may still be recruited. Even if they are not recruited, the possibility of returning to the farm to become a village cadre is higher than others.
