“Comrade, you’ve asked me several times, and I’ve looked for it several times, but I really don’t have your admission notice.”
“If there was, I would have sent it to your production team long ago.”
The postman has a good temper, and perhaps he is more considerate of the anxiety and anticipation of those taking the college entrance examination, so even though Zhou Yinsheng kept asking and raising questions, he still answered patiently.
"How is it possible? I can definitely pass the exam. Even if I don't get into college, I can still go to a technical secondary school."
“Cai Shumin has passed the exam, how could I not pass the exam?”
Yes, this is what Zhou Yinsheng is most troubled and unwilling to accept. He thinks he is smarter than Cai Shumin. How could it be possible that Cai Shumin was admitted to university and was one of the top normal colleges, but he actually failed. ,
And when he took the exam, he felt that he did very well and was full of confidence.
So, Zhou Yinsheng didn’t believe it.
“But Comrade Zhou, I’ve told you here and asked for you. It’s really not true. Please don’t embarrass me.”
Zhou Yinsheng was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, his eyes suddenly opened wide.
“I know, I know what’s going on.”
After saying that, Zhou Yinsheng ran back like crazy.
The postman looked at Zhou Yinsheng's appearance and couldn't help but shook his head.
If you fail the exam, then try again. What did you do to make yourself look like this?
Here, Zhou Yinsheng ran back to the village. On the road, he suddenly saw Cai Shumin walking with Xu Fanghua, and he ran over immediately.
"Cai Shumin!" he shouted, going over to grab Cai Shumin's hand.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Xu Fanghua pulled Cai Shumin behind him, raised her foot to give Zhou Yinsheng a kick on the leg, and scolded: "Zhou Yinsheng, what are you going to do? Are you going to be a gangster or are you going to beat someone up?"
Cai Shumin also looked at Zhou Yinsheng with a bad expression and frowned.
Zhou Yinsheng's legs hurt, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Xu Fanghua.
He looked at Cai Shumin and asked: "Cai Shumin, let me ask you, did you hide my admission notice, or did you take my admission notice and replace it with yours?"
"It must be you. You couldn't pass the exam, so you took away my admission notice."
"Cai Shumin, I didn't expect you to be so cunning and vicious. That's my admission letter. Please return my admission letter to me. I want to go back to the city and go to college."
“If you don’t give it back to me, I will report you.”
“Don’t think that just because your father is a high-ranking village official, you can do whatever you want.”
“Hurry up and return the admission letter to me.”
That's right, Zhou Yinsheng felt that his admission notice must have been taken away by Cai Shumin's father with power and then exchanged for Cai Shumin.
Otherwise, he is smarter than Cai Shumin. How could it be possible that Cai Shumin passed the exam but he did not?
Zhou Yinsheng didn’t want to believe that he was worse than Cai Shumin.
I also don’t want to see Cai Shumin living better than me after the divorce. She even went to college and may live a better life in the future than she does now.
This is not allowed by Zhou Yinsheng's self-esteem.
Zhou Yinsheng said that he wanted to catch Cai Shumin, like a madman, but there was Xu Fanghua in front of him, and his legs were still aching, so he didn't dare.
Cai Shumin frowned and came out from behind Xu Fanghua, "Zhou Yinsheng, are you crazy? Or are you just dreaming? Why should I hide your admission notice? You obviously didn't pass the exam, so why do you rely on me?" On the body."
“Impossible, how could you pass the exam? I couldn’t pass the exam. It must be because you asked your father to do it.”
At this moment, Xu Fanghua laughed and looked at Zhou Yinsheng with eyes full of ridicule. "Comrade Zhou Yinsheng, where did you get the confidence to think that if Shumin passed the exam, you would definitely pass the exam?"
“You don’t think Shumin is inferior to you in studies, do you?”
Although Zhou Yinsheng didn't speak, his expression said everything. That's what he thought.
"Comrade Zhou Yinsheng, it seems that you really don't understand Shumin. Let me tell you, Shumin's grades are very good, better than you imagined. Moreover, Shumin has been studying hard after her divorce. She can get into college. It is well deserved.”
“As for you, who knows why you didn’t pass the exam? Maybe it’s because you’re not good enough. Oh, bad means you’re not capable.”
Xu Fanghua learned the word "vegetable" from Ning Ning.
If you still question and blame others if you are not capable enough, you are not only lacking in ability, but also poor in character. Fortunately, Shumin has divorced him, otherwise she will be cheated by him for the rest of her life.
“You, you’re talking nonsense!”
Zhou Yinsheng was stunned for a moment. It turns out that Cai Shumin is such a talented person?
He actually didn’t know.
Facing Xu Fanghua's rebuttal, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Shumin, let's go and ignore him. Also, Zhou Yinsheng, don't disturb Shumin anymore, or we will sue you for being a hooligan." After saying that, Xu Fanghua took Cai Shumin and left.
Zhou Yinsheng was left standing there alone doubting life.
“It turns out that I am really worse than Cai Shumin.”
“So, did I really fail the exam?”
“Then, shouldn’t I have divorced in the first place?”
…”
He was muttering to himself like a madman, squatting down, grabbing his hair, crying and laughing. People who passed by and saw him were frightened and avoided them.
…
No one will care about what happens next to Zhou Yinsheng.
Anyway, with the craze for the college entrance examination, it is gradually declining as the end of the year approaches.
Those who receive the admission notice will have to wait until after the Lantern Festival next year to start school, so Xu Fanghua and Song Yi can continue to stay at home.
We will not pack our bags until after the new year and go to school together in the urban area of Beijing.
With the resumption of the college entrance examination, everything seems to be getting better and better and looser.
Just like now, when country people bring eggs to the city to sell them, no one will catch them anymore.
For example, the black market, which originally could only exist in darkness, has gradually become transparent, and more and more people are trading in it.
For example, policies that benefit the people have been issued one after another.
Each production team has also organized a market since 1982. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, everyone can sell or buy any agricultural and sideline products in the drying field.
After the Lantern Festival in 1982, Xu Fanghua and Song Yi said goodbye to their families, packed their bags and headed for Beijing.
Before leaving, Xu Fanghua said to Xu Jinning: "Ning Ning, you have basically finished learning all the knowledge you need to learn. All that is left is to review carefully until the exam in June."
“You have to study hard and get admitted to Beijing University. My eldest sister will be waiting for you there.”
Xu Jinning: ...Sister, that’s a Beijing university. Just because you can get into it doesn’t mean I can get into it.
