Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Chapter 568 The College Entrance Examination is Coming

Not long after Grandpa Sun, Wen Zicheng and the other two left Jiangjia Village, the day that Song Shuangshuang and the others had been looking forward to finally arrived.

On October 1977, 10, China National Radio and other media outlets announced the resumption of the college entrance examination as headlines.

This exciting news quickly spread across the country.

When the educated youth heard the news, they couldn't believe it and ran to the commune to verify it.

When it was confirmed that the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for ten years, was finally resumed, many educated youth cheered excitedly in the streets.

Their lives finally reached a new turning point.

According to statistics, the number of applicants for the 1977 college entrance examination reached more than 570 million, but only 27.8 were finally admitted, with an admission rate of only %. The competition was quite fierce.

Although the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was officially announced on October 10, the college entrance examination was not conducted immediately that year.

Because the college entrance examination system was not yet perfect at that time and there were differences in the examination times in different regions, the college entrance examination in Heilongjiang Province was set on December 12 and December 24.

Song Shuangshuang and others also began to prepare for the college entrance examination with all their strength.

After this news came out, scrap collection stations were turned upside down, as everyone wanted to find high school textbooks in them.

Fortunately, Song Shuangshuang and the others had prepared well. Song Shuangshuang brought her books with her when she went to the countryside, and Tan Anjing asked her family to mail them to her. He Feiyang also brought two books with him, and the others were obtained by writing to a friend in Beijing last year and asking him to get them.

Of course, he also gave his friend a brief reminder in the letter, but he didn't know whether his friend could understand it.

The five of us collected four sets of books in total, which was more than enough.

Moreover, they have been reviewing for more than half a year, and have read the textbooks several times, and have basically mastered the knowledge points in the books.

In the two months before the exam, I basically read the study notes that they had previously compiled, checked for gaps, and practiced questions.

Compared with them, the people in the Youth League Institute were in a state of panic.

They don't have books, so they don't know where to start when they want to review. They can't buy them in bookstores, and they can't find them at scrap collection stations. They are so worried that they are about to cry.

There are some people in the village who have attended high school, but they seldom interact with the villagers and they probably wouldn't be willing to lend them money.

After being anxious for several days, someone noticed that Song Shuangshuang and the others didn't seem anxious at all. Moreover, they hadn't been seen running to the city during this period. They were still collecting firewood in the mountains as if nothing had happened.

They couldn't help but wonder if they had already received the news that the college entrance examination would be resumed, otherwise why were they not in a hurry at all.

"Need I say more? They must have known about this long ago. Don't forget what those people on the mountain did before. Not to mention that Jiang Jingcheng's grandfather was a man of status, even the others were not simple characters.

But I heard that the other old man is a university professor.

How could they not know the news?"

Cao Qi now regretted that he had a conflict with Song Shuangshuang and others before, otherwise he would have definitely got this news.

But he looked around the house and felt happy again.

Everyone in the Youth League Institute had more or less had conflicts with Song Shuangshuang and the others, some of them even more serious than his.

He gets no benefit, and neither does anyone else.

The female educated youth also had the same suspicion.

"Lan Fang, do you think Song Shuangshuang and the others knew about the resumption of the college entrance examination before us? We haven't seen them in the city these few days.

Oh! That’s right! I remember when Song Shuangshuang first went to the countryside, she read high school textbooks. They must have books to read.

Why don't we go borrow it from her, and then we can watch it together."

Lu Xiaotao excitedly pulled Fan Lanfang's arm, wanting to take her to find Song Shuangshuang.

With only two months to review, every extra day they can review will increase their chances of getting into university.

Fan Lanfang also had this idea, but she hesitated when she thought about how Song Shuangshuang was unwilling to help her and Xiaotao when they went to exchange wine tickets.

"They can't borrow it, right? How about we think of another way? I've already written a letter to my family, asking them to look for my high school textbooks at home."

"Go ask, maybe they really didn't have what we want before.

How long do you have to wait for your family to send you books?

We didn't ask her to lend us all the books. We borrowed one book first, and when we were done reading, we would exchange it for another. After all, we took good care of them when they first came to the Youth Home, so they are willing to lend us books for that reason."

Lu Xiaotao had a good idea, but when she took Fan Lanfang to Song Shuangshuang's house and heard Song Shuangshuang say that the book had been lent out, she had a different reaction.

"Song Zhiqing, who did you lend the book to?"

"I lent it to Jiang Xuewen, Wu Xiaoshan and others in the village."

"All borrowed? Do you have any books left? Can you lend one to me and Lan Fang?"

Song Shuangshuang shook her head. "There are no extra ones. They have been borrowed."

And she didn't want to lend it to the people in the Youth League Institute.

"Why? We are all educated youth, and we took care of you and your sister and Tan Anjing when you first went to the countryside. Why are you willing to lend it to the villagers but they won't lend it to us?"

When Lu Xiaotao came to find Song Shuangshuang, there were villagers behind her who were about to come to Song Shuangshuang and her friends to borrow books. When they heard what she said, they were unwilling to do so.

"Lü Zhiqing, what do you mean by that? What do you mean they are willing to lend to us but not to you? Are you educated youth superior to us or what? Why can't Song Zhiqing lend us books?"

"That's right, what do you mean? We can't take the college entrance examination?"

Several young people gathered around.

"No, I didn't mean that. You misunderstood." Lu Xiaotao didn't expect that a word she said casually would happen to be heard by someone.

And she really didn't have the idea that these people said.

Few young people don't believe it.

"You didn't say that? I think that's what you meant."

“You really misunderstood, Lu Zhiqing didn’t mean that.

She just wanted to ask Song Zhiqing why he was unwilling to lend us the book.

Maybe we did something wrong and made her unhappy so she is unwilling to help us."

Fan Lanfang came out to help Lu Xiaotao out.

It seemed that she was trying to explain for Lu Xiaotao, but in fact she wanted to put Song Shuangshuang in a difficult position and make her explain in front of these people why she didn't want to lend the book.

Is it really gone, or is it deliberately targeting them?

Song Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows when she heard Fan Lanfang's teasing words.

Is Fan Lanfang finally stopping pretending?

You're still doing this to her. Do you think you can bend over backwards and lend her the book?

By the way, I used the system to send a message to my younger brother, asking him to come out and watch the fun.
