Chapter 116 Encouragement to Learn
It is now the end of 76, and there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year of 77 is in February of the Gregorian calendar.
According to Lin Qingyan's plan, she needs to go back home for the Chinese New Year this year. Including the time on the road, it will take at least half a month. By the time she returns for the Chinese New Year, it will be almost March in the Gregorian calendar.
The time for the resumption of the college entrance examination was getting closer and closer. Although her high school grades were good,
It has only been a year or two since I left school, but I have not forgotten all the knowledge.
But after all, she had never experienced the college entrance examination, so she was still a little worried that she would not do well.
But God gave her a chance to be reborn, and she would definitely make good use of it and get into a university.
It is said that the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination will be relatively easier. How could she miss such an opportunity?
After getting admitted to university, she can go back to the city directly. It would be best to apply to a university in Beijing. The information sources and market reactions in Beijing are much better than those in small cities, and she can also make full use of her time to earn her first pot of gold.
These thoughts only flashed through my mind. Facing the inquiring looks of the two,
Lin Qingyan said calmly, "I want to review my high school courses. I have forgotten some of the knowledge I learned before.
I found a set of textbooks at a scrapyard a while ago. It was winter and I didn’t have to work. I didn’t have much to do at the educated youth center, so I decided to review what I had learned.”
Ye Yi looked at her puzzledly and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to read a book?"
Lin Qingyan reminded Gu Yizhou a few days ago and had mentioned it to Ye Yi before, but judging from her expression, she might have forgotten about it.
"It's not something sudden. The idea came to me the moment I saw the textbooks at the scrap yard. It's just that I was too busy recently."
Ye Yi remembered that Lin Qingyan was rarely seen every day, and nodded that she was indeed very busy.
"So you don't have to be busy during this period?"
"It will be almost done in a few days. The time is sorted out and it is on the right track.
If you need these goods, I only need to go there once when I have time, I don’t have to go there every day.” Lin Qingyan pointed at the items placed on the kang.
Then he continued to say to Ye Yi and the others, "The Chinese New Year is still more than a month away, and it hasn't snowed yet this year.
It's only a matter of time before it snows here. When it snows, you can't go to the market or the county town. You can read books at home during this time."
Wang Lanlan was only interested in making money, so she said, "What's the point of studying? I can't get into college."
"Who says we can't? Maybe we can take the exam someday!" Although Lin Qingyan couldn't say directly that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, she could hint at it.
Wang Lanlan burst out laughing, "Resume the college entrance examination? Impossible!"
"Why isn't it possible?"
"A few days ago, two more people were sent to the village cowshed. I heard they were university professors. If the college entrance examination could be restored, why would they be demoted?"
Wang Lanlan lowered her voice and spoke softly.
"When did they send someone again?" Lin Qingyan was a little puzzled. She had no idea about this matter.
"It happened just two days ago. It was already dark when they arrived and they were taken directly to the bullpen. They were a man and a woman, both in their fifties."
Wang Lanlan paused for a moment and continued:
"My father told me that these two people are from Beijing. I don't know which university they are from. The man is not in good health. I heard he keeps coughing."
Lin Qingyan was stunned when she heard this. Since her rebirth, she had never met anyone from the Cowshed, nor had she paid attention to anyone from the Cowshed. But she had never come into contact with these people in her previous life either.
But after she returned to the city due to illness, her brother was afraid that she would be bored, so he told her the news from outside every day.
It is said that before the college entrance examination was resumed, most of the intellectuals who were sent down to the countryside were rehabilitated and brought back.
However, some people could not withstand the torture due to physical reasons and died in the cowshed, never to return.
There are many such people, especially professors, who are unable to work and are old.
The environment in the cowshed is poor, and it is particularly difficult to endure in the winter. It seems that she has to find an opportunity to go over and see if she can help.
Lin Qingyan looked at Ye Yi's obviously disappointed expression and couldn't help but say to them:
"These people and things have nothing to do with us for now, and they don't affect our studies. Even if the college entrance examination is not resumed in the short term, it's not a bad thing for us to study more."
Ye Yi, who was still in a daze, heard this and thought about it.
She thought for a moment and said, "Qingyan is right. We can't forget the textbook knowledge. We need to review it from time to time. If a factory suddenly recruits workers, we will have a chance to try it out."
"Nowadays, factories rarely recruit external staff, most of them are introduced by employees."
Wang Lanlan obviously doesn't want to study, nor does she want to waste time on it.
"What if there is a new factory recruiting? If they need to graduate from high school, or if they have to take an exam on the spot, the more we prepare, the more opportunities we have, right?"
Lin Qingyan really wanted to open her mind to see what she was thinking and why she always said such depressing things.
Wang Lanlan looked at their serious expressions, paused, and asked seriously, "Are you serious?"
Lin Qingyan rolled her eyes at her and was quite speechless.
"We've been talking about this for so long, and you still think this is just a joke? I'm very busy, so I don't have time to joke with you."
She knew they might not believe it, but it didn't matter. At most, she could just mention it a few more times. If she said it too many times, it would always leave a shadow in their hearts.
Ye Yi nodded vigorously at the side, "Yes, Qingyan is really busy. When we come back from selling things and have nothing to do, we can review the knowledge we learned in advance. Wang Lanlan, you can come to my place and we can study together."
"Ye Yi is right. After you come back from selling things, you can definitely study together. Wang Lanlan, I remember you are also in high school, right?"
Lin Qingyan asked Wang Lanlan who was thinking seriously.
When Wang Lanlan heard the question, she said calmly, "I only studied until my second year of high school, and then I stopped.
My mother scolded me every day at home because I didn't work hard. In her words, if I graduated from high school,
My father would have found an opportunity to get me a job in a factory, so why would I stay at home and eat idle meals? "
At this point, she became excited again, "I'm making money now, so I don't have to live off others. I'll give her a dollar later to make her happy."
"You earned so much money today, why did you only give her one dollar?" Ye Yi asked when she saw her excited look.
Wang Lanlan looked at Ye Yi as if she were a fool, and blurted out what she was thinking, "Ye Yi, you don't look stupid, but why are your questions like a sieve?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yi slapped her on the arm.
He said angrily, "No matter how stupid I am, I have graduated from high school, unlike some people who haven't graduated yet."
Wang Lanlan begged for mercy, "Sister, I was wrong, I was stupid, I was stupid, okay!"
Ye Yiye was not really angry with her. Seeing her like this, she burst out laughing.
Wang Lanlan saw that she was really not angry, so she explained seriously.
