MTL - Attack Stream of Life-Chapter 50

The wheel of time is rolling, and three years have passed, and the educated youth has changed a lot.

Comrade Xiaoyu got married and gave birth to two boys with Ba Er who came from the Land of Abundance. The first took his mother's surname and the second took his father's surname. When Comrade Xiaoyu got married, many people cried, they were reluctant to Xiaoyu educated youth, and even more reluctant to cook. But when you get married, you have to move out, and no one is exempt.

It was Zhaoming who took over the educated youth's cooking stove. His light and healthy meals were complained again and again, and comrades from Hunan cried every day with their chili powder. Under the anger of the public, Zhaoming finally had the cheek to learn from Xiaoyu Zhiqing, and the main direction was to use vegetarian dishes to make fake meat dishes.

Comrade Xiaoyu unreservedly taught him how to make a full vegetarian meal, while Zhaoming taught Comrade Xiaoyu the western-style dim sum she was not good at.

Both of them are from the same city, and they can go back together in the future.

Except for the first two, the educated youth did not marry the local youth, neither men nor women. Bai Zhiqing, whom Zhaoming was not optimistic about at the beginning, also resisted the pressure. Among the unmarried women among the educated youth, the oldest was twenty-six and the youngest was nineteen. In this era, they were already old girls who were not easy to marry, but everyone Still withstood.

Last year, the village changed the 'Yangmei Products Factory' to the 'Shangwan Village Fruit Canning Factory'.

A canning factory in the county eliminated two old machines. Qiao Kuan gave Zhaoming news, and Zhaoming told the captain. The captain is quite courageous, and he bought more than a thousand machines. In order to expand the variety of canned food, a lot of fruit trees have been imported this spring, including tangerines and yellow peaches.

Last year was a thrilling year, this year is relatively calm, but what is closely related to their educated youth is the reopening of the college entrance examination. In October, an urgent telegram came from Beijing, saying that the college entrance examination would be reopened.

So this thing came out of his mouth, and many people believed it.

Although I am used to staying in Shangwan Village, but if I have the opportunity to go back, I will definitely go back. Life in the village can be seen at a glance, they are still young, and the city can provide more opportunities and possibilities.

Zhao Ming is also very serious about reviewing, he is going to stop his speculative career.

Relying on the good relationship with the captain, Zhaoming has been running out a lot these years, and Qiao Kuan in the county is willing to take him for some reason. He has never felt negative emotions towards himself from him, but he often gets emotional when he sees him. If it wasn't for the other party having a loved one, Zhaoming would almost have misunderstood.

But I haven't seen each other's lover for so many years, it's really strange. Could it be that it's out of play?

They often take the car of the county transportation team, go to the seaside to smash cheap dry seafood, and then return to the inland to exchange for other things, earn the difference back and forth, and sometimes charge some old object. During this period, he encountered passers-by and patrols. He was almost caught several times, and his life and death were on the line.

Zhaoming doesn't understand antiques, but his aesthetics are completely fine. Even if he doesn't understand antiques at all, he can find the most artistically valuable things at a glance. This natural vision, Even Qiao Kuan could only persuade.

The people in the village only know that he has a friend in the county town who is going to live for a few months every few months. There may be some vague guesses, but the popularity that was laid before is still there, and no one has said it.

Zhaoming will be a man. When he comes back from the county, he always brings some things that the village lacks, some cloth tickets, oil tickets, industrial tickets, and even scarce bicycle tickets and sewing tickets. The villagers used their money and food in exchange for it. If they don't have it for a while, they can still hold it. Those tickets are very popular, and they don't get any tickets if they go late.

In the past few years, Zhaoming has saved a lot of money, not to mention the antique gold saved, just say that there are as much as three or four thousand in cash.

This is enough for him to buy a few small courtyard houses in Beijing, so Zhaoming decided to stop. During this period of time, the investigation was very strict, so he should not commit crimes against the wind. He also persuaded Qiao Kuan euphemistically, saying that he was the eldest brother who brought him money, and it was hard to see him trapped in it.

Vinegar pork ribs, Zhaoming didn't know he liked thin ribs so much before, sweet and sour braised pork ribs, fried with garlic flavor... all of them.

"Yeah, there's news from my hometown that the college entrance examination may be reopened. I'm going to study hard and take the test back." Zhaoming picked up the spare ribs and ate it. It might be awkward at first. The dishes served by the other party in the year are all in line with one's mind, and they gradually get used to it.

“Which college do you want to attend?”

"The school in Beijing, I definitely want to go back. Brother Kuan, I heard that I've checked this recently, can you take it easy?"

"Okay...hell."

Qiao Kuan laughed, and Zhao Ming felt that his smile was a little wrong.

"What's wrong? You look a little weird."

"Are you almost twenty?" Qiao Kuan asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

"I think what you said makes sense. Only people who can live their own wonderful life are qualified to be liked by others. This is a good era, and I also want to work hard to make me like it. People are secretly proud of being liked by good people."

"When did I say that?" Zhao Ming didn't remember.

In November, when he was preparing for the exam urgently, his grandfather gave him news that some of them wanted to be rehabilitated. Zhaoming went there for a while, he didn't know why he suddenly had the idea, and hugged the only monkey wine he had successfully brewed.

It was only when he went to find out that the old Taoist had been rehabilitated, and someone above would protect him.

An old comrade came to power and rehabilitated many comrades who had been mistreated. There was an old professor in Shangwan Village who was picked up half a month ago and sent away by a big truck. In order, military and political personnel, senior intellectuals, technicians, and traditional inheritors will return to their hometowns one after another.

Zhao Ming guessed that his grandparents would be able to go back at most half a year, but he did not expect that the first person to leave was an old Taoist priest who was engaged in the inheritance of local beliefs.

It was a wave of soldiers who came to pick up the old Taoist priest. Although they did not wear military uniforms, their sharp-edged spirit was unstoppable. The old Taoist was not shocked, he said goodbye to everyone one by one, and when he arrived at Zhaoming, he smiled when he saw him holding a jar of wine, "This is for me, I've been waiting for your wine for a year. "

Zhaoming was taken aback. No one told him about the monkey wine he made. How did this Taoist know that he made it for a whole year?

"This wine is the essence of all kinds of fruits. It is not easy to make. I can't take it for nothing." Opaque, like very finely washed pebbles on a river beach. "You will know the function of this thing overnight."

"You must cherish the merits you have accumulated throughout your life, be a good person, and do good deeds. You are a blessed person."

Not only know that he has been brewing for a whole year, but also know that this is monkey wine... Zhaoming has known Laodao for so long, and it is the first time that he can see the characteristics of a profession of faith from him, mysterious and mysterious , especially demagogic.

Probably for this reason, when he went to bed at night, Zhao Ming couldn't help but take the pebble out of his pocket and stuff it under his pillow.

That night, Zhaoming had a long dream, he dreamed that he was sitting in the void, the stars were at his feet, the sun and the moon were by his side, and a voice that was neither male nor female was very ethereal Reciting an obscure scripture.

He didn’t even know a single phonetic symbol of those scriptures, but the strange thing was that this scripture reached his heart through his ears, and he naturally understood the meaning, it was actually ‘Tao Te Ching’

It's not the version he knows, there are many changes. Every time this scripture was recited in his ear, his body became lighter, and his whole soul became airy.

Three times, and that weird, tongue-in-cheek scripture is gone.

He woke up and subconsciously looked for the pebbles under the pillow, obviously, it was gone, disappeared without a trace.

Zhaoming opened his mouth to read the passage of scripture he had heard, but no matter how he pronounced it, he couldn't pronounce a single word. It didn't sound like a human voice could make.

My mother, what kind of fairy is this?

Zhao Ming went back to think about the gray old Taoist priest, only to feel that the other party was full of fairy spirit.

In December, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination finally reached Shangwan Village, a small remote village. At this time, the exam was very close.

When the big broadcast in the village broadcast the news, Zhaoming saw the tears in the eyes of the educated youth. He has been here for so long, and he has never seen this big brother cry, let alone tears, it is rare to show strong emotions, he is always calm and self-controlled, and has never had such a gaffe.

Other comrades have long been crying.

Everyone knows that the time has come to change fate.

People who were already reviewing were even more eager to study. Whenever they were free, they would take out a book from their arms to read, even if they were a little bit idle in their work. Because the oil lamps were too dim and the candles were too expensive, everyone gathered in one room and lit one candle to review. Two candles were used up in one night, and the eyes were red and the candles smoked the eyelids.

They have a good relationship with the local villagers. The captain and others saw them working all night long, afraid that they would not be able to survive. After a discussion, they said, let the educated youth work part-time and let them study in the afternoon. Some people in the village even sent them eggs, so that they could make up for it and study hard for university entrance exams.

The educated youth are grateful. They are also willing to reciprocate, and find three people in the village who are also preparing to take the university entrance examination, and let's study together. The educated youths have plenty of review materials. As soon as Zhaoming learned the news, he collected two sets of 'Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Books' from the county library, as well as many notes left by the educated youths before. The youths in the village felt good after reviewing them for a few days.

The educated youth in other villages do not have such preferential treatment. They are exhausted after working all day, and they have to support their body to read at night, and the time is very tight. In this case, the natural review effect is not good. it is good.

Comrades in Shangwan Village have worked hard for several years to get this moment. No matter how much educated youth in other villages envy and complain, it is useless.

Even the villagers laugh at them; can any of you repair farm machinery? Do any of you help the village to set up factories? Can you literate the village non-stop for several years? There is nothing at this time to compare what?

Zhao Ming didn't hold back at this time, he covered all three meals. In order to ensure nutrition, he buys fish, pheasant and other meat dishes from the villagers, as well as tofu and seasonal vegetables. He beats eggs every day. Eat well and eat nutritiously.

In the past two months, when it came time for the real exam, the villagers were surprised to find that the educated youth seemed to have gained weight, and even the three youths who came to eat their meals in the village had rounded faces.

The location of the exam is the No. 3 Middle School in the county seat. The team leader lent two ox carts to send the examiners to the county.

There are two days in the exam, everyone organizes their things early in the morning, such as the admission ticket, pens and ink, and then puts on thick cotton jackets, hats and scarves, and sits on the haystack of the ox cart I went up, because the car was swaying, and my eyes would become dizzy when reading a book at this time, so everyone closed their eyes and recited.

When I arrived in the county, it was already late. The entrance of the examination room was full of people.

of. She followed Sumei, who was carrying a basket with a bamboo cup in her hand.

When other candidates were stomping their feet to read the review materials, the candidates from their village gathered together, holding bamboo cups in their hands, drinking hot sugar water, and encouraging each other.

"I also want to go to university like my brothers and sisters." Sumei said that she is eleven years old and has just entered the county's junior high school this year. This year, there are five junior high schools in their village.

There are only eight who graduated from primary school this year, except three who really don’t want to drop out of school, and the others all went to junior high school, and two of them are girls. It is not easy to get their family to agree to go to junior high school. The educated youth donated three years of old textbooks and enough pencils and notebooks, and they said a lot of good things and described a bright future. Only then did the parents of these children agree.

The little leaders in the village felt that knowledge is really a good thing (you can repair cars and set up factories), and they also helped to persuade them. The women's director was very active in supporting girls to go to school. She laughed when she heard that her daughter said she was going to go to university in the future, "Okay, as long as you can pass the test, my mother will keep you studying."

After a while, everyone came in, it was still cold, but everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

In addition to Comrade Xiaohua, she has to take an extra foreign language test. Everyone else only takes four exams, and Xiaohua takes Russian.

The educated youth is indeed a talent. After two days of exams, he was able to mute all the exam papers. Everyone took the exam papers and went to the county to find the teacher to write the answers. Standard' answer sheet with correct answers.

The educated youth's eldest brother's score was a little higher, more than 320, while the rest were a little worse than them.

Those who only took the test a little over 100 were very depressed and felt that their hope was probably not high.

You don't know what kind of school you can go to at your level.

It is still rough to fill in the application form these days, there are three volunteers for three schools, but the problem is that most of them know about Peking University, Tsinghua University and local colleges and universities. Many people don’t even understand the difference between undergraduate and college. The teacher also touched his head with Zhang Er King Kong, and they were all confused. There is no clear idea of ​​professional intentions, so it is divided into liberal arts and sciences, and there is a vague general classification.

Everyone brainstormed, focused on the schools they knew, and finally had nearly twenty choices.

Everyone made a copy of this school, and held it in their arms every day, while waiting for the end of the primary election to fill in the volunteers, while thinking about which school they should go to.

After a few days, the commune informed them that 11 of the villagers had passed the primary election for the college entrance examination, 10 of the educated youth, and one in the village. As one of them, Zhaoming went to the office of the head of the commune with ten others.

The captain went with him. He did not know where he heard the news that some commune leaders would secretly hide the admission list and give the places to their children, nephews, relatives and friends. The captain felt that he had some face in front of the leaders all these years, so he went with him and said good things.

To be honest, Zhao Ming was very moved, because this matter had nothing to do with him. He also knew that there would be no shortage of such alternatives to go to school, and Zhaoming couldn't even guarantee that he would not be the one to be replaced.

"Uncle, I'll trouble you about this. We don't ask for anything else, we just want to go smoothly."

The captain nodded, "You have called me uncle for so many years, can I still ignore it?"

"Oh, by the way, uncle, is the notice sent to the commune first? Is it possible that no one other than me can get it on my behalf? I'm worried that there will be any accident, will it be sent directly to me? Better in hand?"

"Okay, I'll tell the leader."

Zhaoming didn't know what happened next, but he knew that the eleven people who participated in the primary election in Shangwan Village, and all of them later received admission notices.

The first educated youth eldest brother received, he steadily entered the Chinese Department of Peking University, Zhaoming was the second one, he and the eldest brother shared the same school, Peking University Foreign Language Department. The two of them were sent together, and the commune leader hurriedly sent it over when they got the notice, running all the way to publicize, so the villagers all gathered, and then they saw the two holding the admission notice, one sluggish and the other covering The scene of crying with a tearful face.

“Is Peking University a university in Beijing?”

"If you go to Beijing, you can go to see our chairman? You can also go to the Great Wall!"

"You go to college to be a college student. Are college students born in our village?"

"Isn't it? Before it was released, it was a scholar who was admitted to a university and transferred directly to the city. After graduation, the state will assign work."

People in the village were talking about it, Zhaoming just felt buzzing, buzzing, and there were a lot of inexplicably familiar scenes flashing in front of him, and the obscure scriptures were clearly visible. , and a soft and waxy child's voice babbled in his ears.

He just felt like the world was spinning…

"No, Amin passed out with joy!"
