Old days (63)

Su Jin and Xiaoxing moved with their children again, and the couple did move their jobs a little frequently.

Su Jin also said: I have to continue working steadily, and I can’t do this anymore.

Xiaoxing was transferred to one elementary school near the museum to be a music teacher. The best treatment for the museum is that it can be divided into two bedrooms. The school can also be divided into a single dormitory. Even Su Jin's parents came, so it was OK to call the single room. It was convenient to take care of it, and there was no need to live under the same roof. The area was also relatively prosperous, and the couple was particularly satisfied.

I thought about taking care of Fan Yunqing before, but after that, life became like that, Xiaoxing's heart became weaker. I would still send things to Fan Yunqing as usual, but I would not say the words nearby anymore.

At least now, everything is pretty good.

As time goes by, the new buildings in the family area of ​​Zhongyuan Heavy Industry have been built one by one. As the time goes by, Lin Yutong said, they are all well-decorated houses. The cement floor, snow-white walls, heating is open to the end, the kitchen and bathroom are clean and breathable, and every family has a small yard of forty or fifty square meters, separated by a log fence in the middle. The road paved with cement pavement, and the doors of every household on both sides of the road are street lights. The outside gate is also a fence gate. Open the door, and the stone road is seven or eight meters, which is the steps. Above the two steps, there is a platform of three or five square meters. Things like bicycles are pushed up from the side slope.

Well, under the eaves, you won’t be afraid of getting wet. Push open the two doors and enter the entrance. Go around from the entrance, there is a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom. There is a small staircase leading to the second floor, and three rooms on the second floor. Every home has three floors, the third floor has a bedroom, and a spacious terrace. If you need it, you can cover your own house. Although each room is not big, you can put down a bed, a table, and a bookcase. Children can almost have their own independent rooms. From now on, it will be difficult for children to get married to divide the house. Therefore, the room space this time may not be large, but it is really high utilization rate. In everyone’s general consciousness, the living room does not need to be very big, but there must be enough rooms. There are many children!

I didn't hear anyone say I was unsatisfied with the house I built this time.

Everyone said that we can live in a villa.

The house has not been separated yet, so many people go inside, measure the size inside, prepare furniture in advance, and plan how to build a home.

In order to get such a house, many young people were anxious to find a partner to get married in the first half of the year.

The factory held two group weddings in a row.

The collective wedding was made of the auditorium that had just been put into use. So many employees in the factory entered the venue and each person was divided into fruit candy, five peanuts, and a small handful of melon seeds. Then dozens of couples bowed to Chairman M three times, bowed to the leader three times, and bowed to relatives and colleagues like relatives. Then they ended with the bride and groom singing "The voyage of the sea by the helmsman".

The Fourth Master is a considerate leader, and he has won a large-scale "marriage shopping voucher" for everyone.

In fact, many units have this, but most of them are tickets for furniture stores. You have to at least buy a bed for a new house, right? Then you have to have a ticket. What about the Fourth Master? He got a side-of-the-food ticket and an industrial ticket. So far, only Zhongyuan Heavy Industry has it.

When the newlyweds are getting married, if they are dual employees, they will give them two copies. If they are combined with people outside the factory, they will be half. They have to go to the union to issue a certificate first, and then use the certificate to collect the ticket. Finally, they can only go to the designated place in the city to buy these things.

Nowadays, when buying things with marriage, people jokingly call them "four one projects." The so-called four one projects are a double bed, a thermos, a face plate, and a spittoon.

A spittoon is usually used as a urinary pot.

If you can divide a new house, you can save the spittoon.

What about picking up the bride? The groom rides a bicycle to pick up the bride. As for the dowry, the bride takes it with her. A bag with clothes, a washbasin and a bucket are hung on the side of the back seat of the bicycle or on the front of the bike. That's all.

If the woman doesn't attend the group wedding, the man will prepare a table of meals, which are all of which are of particular importance. If the woman is easy to talk to, she will save even this table of meals. She will still go to work during the day, work overtime at night to get married, and still fight on her job the next day. This is the norm.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master also attended two more important weddings.

One of the Dani family got married, and the other was the Hangyu from the Erni family got married.

The partner Dachun was looking for was from their village. The girl was a breeder in the pig farm on the farm. She was thick and strong, and she spoke in a muffled voice. She was not very clever, and she was a little silly when she smiled, and she looked very honest. With the conditions of Dachun's family, it would be good to find this honest wife. In the future, the one who subsidized her brothers and sisters, and she would find someone too smart to fiddle with.

Shuanzhu, the partner I was looking for was from a food factory in Linbei District. The family was in good condition. Now, the work was not a little better than Shuanzhu. But this girl had a little bit of a problem, her eyes were big and small, and she was not very symmetrical. Therefore, it was a bit too high to find a partner. The child who was married in the second marriage didn't want to settle for it, and the first marriage felt that his facial features were not even correct and looked down on him. Those who didn't have a formal job wanted to find such a person, but she was unwilling to. Shuanzhu, there was a formal job, and her uncle and aunt were also the factory director. Although the family was poor, there were many brothers and sisters below, his father was transferred to a formal worker because he had a temporary worker in the mining site and injured his little finger, and he worked in a mineral processing plant. The wages of heavy physical workers were high, so the burden at home was not as great as expected. The girl agreed.

The two children got married, and this was the fourth master's nephew. The uncle bought something for his nephew, which was more realistic.

Nowadays, those who are particularly close to each other give gifts are all three, including a basin thermos, a towel or a quilt.

The money for the membership can be at least 2 cents, and 50 cents is considered more. If you give two cents, you can go to the wedding banquet by yourself. If you give five cents, you can take the family to go to the wedding banquet.

Lin Yutong, who is an aunt, has never troubled her family, nor has she given any special care. Of course, due to this relationship, it is certain that she has received some special care in the unit, but in general, she is quite responsible. So Lin Yutong is not stingy and is not biased, giving each person a bed and bedding. Another family gave twenty yuan. When she saw the new wife, she packed a red envelope of ten yuan.

Both families think they are quite proud.

The weather gradually became hotter, but Danyang gradually lost weight.

After the volunteers were expressed, she felt a little anxious. Nowadays, the college entrance examination volunteers are divided into two categories: one is science, industry, agriculture, forestry and medicine, and the other is literature and history.

When choosing a school, the teacher came to the house several times in a row, with only one goal, to do work for the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong. I felt that Danyang's achievements could be used to get to the B-Ya and Qinghua in Beijing.

But the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong both were young and refused because they were too far away from home.

Whether it is a first-class or a second-class volunteer, it is all located in the provincial capital of this province.

There is only one reason. If she graduated from college, she will get messy. The one who is in the buck is the student in Beijing. If there is something, her parents' hands cannot reach it, so it must be ruled out first.

Zhongyuan Agricultural and Forestry University belongs to a first-class university.

And I chose the first major of the first choice, and I chose the seed engineering.

Neither the Fourth Master nor Lin Yutong had any objection, just let it go.

As for college and technical secondary school, I didn’t fill in it at all. If I really do it, I can just repeat the study for one year. Time is still plenty.

The college entrance examination is still July at this time.

It was the time when the heat was unbearable. Lin Yutong adjusted her child's menstrual period to ensure that she was absolutely safe these days. Short-sleeved and cropped pants were also chosen as the coolest sweat-absorbing materials. She took a special leave and went with her child to take the exam.

The exam was taken in the city, so I simply lived in the Lin family, where the conditions were good. However, the test site was a bit far from the school. Dayuan borrowed the car from the unit, and Lin Baichuan lent it to the full-time driver to pick it up and drop it off.

Can other students not envy them? A small number of them were brought by their family members on bicycles, but most of them left home at four or five in the morning and walked over to take the exam. A very small number of people like Danyang who can sleep until seven o'clock and go out on time and arrive outside the exam room before eight o'clock.

These children came to the exam and carried dry food in their bags. They had good conditions, including steamed buns or buns with white flour, and they were not good conditions, including steamed buns or vegetable buns. As for the kettle, there was no one. Each person had a foreign porcelain jar, and there was no boiling water, but the school had a faucet, so it was OK to get some cold water.

Danyang saw this scene and always called for a stop at the school gate a hundred meters away, and then walked over.

The class teacher, like the teachers of various subjects, has the same daily schedule as the students. They accompany the students in the college entrance examination throughout the whole process. They perform even more nervous than the students.

Lin Yutong sent the child outside the examination room and said she would go back, but in fact she was waiting outside for her to get the exam.

Danyang took a kettle and put the exam items in his backpack, so he went in.

The examination room is in an unknown middle school classroom, which is not as good as the children's school. The brick and tiles houses are very old, like church schools, and the windows are narrow and tall, and the ventilation effect is not good.

This kind of day is so stuffy in the morning. When you find your seat, you feel that the tables and stools are shaking. You have to go outside to find the small stones or rubble and put the corners of the table. There are less than thirty people in a classroom. Each table is quite far away.

As soon as the ringtone rang, the teacher came in.

Before the exam, the teacher emphasized: You must report your grades to D truthfully, and you must not commit fraud at all.

Yes! Be loyal to d.

Cheating is a manifestation of disloyalty.

Therefore, there will be no situations like looking around or cheating in the exam room.

The teacher's attitude is also very good. There are ink, spare pens, and tools such as eraser pencils and rulers on the table. Even if you are thirsty, the teacher will bring you water to drink. It is so hot that the two teachers will twist a wet veil to cool down. One of the older teachers in the grade will take a basin of cold water outside for about twenty minutes and quietly sprinkle water to cool down the classroom.

Danyang suddenly felt that his mother had checked her belongings several times before going out, and it was not very necessary. The examination room was not as serious and cold as they said.

All of this made her relax easily.

The first subject is a common political exam, with a full score of 100 points. The answers to all objective questions are memorized, which is not difficult for her. Lin Yutong feels that the exam is difficult nowadays. There is no such thing as multiple-choice questions for fill-in-the-blank questions. There is a full score of 100 points, but in fact there are only four major questions. The first question is short answered, divided into four sub-questions, each of which is five points, with a total of twenty. Then there is another detailed answer question, giving forty. The third and fourth questions only choose one question, and also giving forty. This is a subjective question, for example, someone asks you, have you ever worked in the countryside or in the factory? Tell me about your feelings. It is the same as taking the composition exam.

Chinese is even more awesome. The composition of science and engineering is 100 points. There are only two questions, one ancient essay, and then translation. There is no other tests such as fake characters, and function words are particularly straightforward translation. One is to give you a material, asking you to write some essays based on the materials. Generally, composition is the first question, and ancient essay is the second question. If it is Chinese in liberal arts, it will be even more amazing! It is still a composition and an ancient essay translation, but composition accounts for 100 points, while ancient essay accounts for 100 points, and the total score is 200 points. Mathematics and liberal arts are also tested, but it is only used as a reference score and is not included in the total score.

During the entire exam, Danyang felt so excited that he was about to fly. He had seen the original questions in Chinese composition materials and translations of ancient Chinese. The answers were just written up. Mathematics was even more simple and familiar.

Once she got the two subjects, her heart was settled. Chinese language was close to full marks, math scores, and foreign language scores were added. This kind of score, even if the total score was slightly lacking, the university would open its doors.

This is called reluctance to give up the full score, and no zero score.

If there are outstanding subjects, the university will rush to ask for them.

After the exam, you have to go back to school. The teacher will explain the questions. At this time, there is no standard answer above for comparison. Whether it is good or not, you have to find the answers yourself. The teacher cannot give a complete standard, so when the questions are being discussed at this time, the teacher will say that he is discussing with everyone. He is not sure that he is 100% correct.

But after talking about it, everyone basically knew it.

Danyang's heart was even more in a state of mind. With a full score of 600, she felt that her score should be between 580 and 585. It can be said that any university can pass.

After the college entrance examination, there are fewer repeaters. I said that I didn’t do well this year and I went there for another one year.

There are very few cases of this. The smaller the city and rural areas, the less common this phenomenon is. Before the exam, the teacher will do ideological work for students. There is a saying that is "prepare with one heart and two hands". After passing the exam, he will continue to study and study for the motherland and the people. If he fails the exam, he will participate in the construction of the country with full enthusiasm.

So, as soon as the college entrance examination is over, are you thinking about playing?

That's not! If you should work, just work.

Nowadays, high school students are considered to have high education. When they return to the brigade, they become elementary school teachers, as accounting cashiers or clerks in the village. If some factories recruit workers, the education required by others will be graduated from high school. Even when the commune recruits people, they will also need such high school students.

In other words, if you graduate successfully in high school, you will almost find a job. If you graduate from college, you will get the treatment of a cadre. Because of this, there are not many people who have to take a year of tutoring for two or three years to compete with the college entrance examination.

Danyang graduated from high school. Before her grades came out, she had to join the labor force.

Because he was a child in the factory, he was arranged to go to the publicity department for an internship. If he didn't pass the exam, he would be a regular employee and he would have to go to work in a serious manner.

If you want to say nothing, you will rest for more than a month without doing anything. That is a dream.

But I really went to work, I was only fourteen years old, what could I do?

Xu Qiang said: Sister, just learn to play movies with me.

OK! Isn’t it just watching movies every night?

Chaoyang and Jiaoyang followed their sister and watched every night. When they saw it, they cried red when they saw it. Chaoyang, like most boys, like him, he likes to shout: For victory, fire at me!

In the literary performance, Jiaoyang has a reserved program, which is the "Hero's Praise". The little girl looked solemn and sang in a loud and loud voice, "The beacon smoke rolled on the hero, the green mountains on all sides listened to the ears, the thunder and golden drums sounded in the sunny day, the waves of the sea make harmony, the people's warrior drives the tiger and leopard, and sacrifices his life to ensure peace. Why is the battle flag as beautiful as a picture, the hero's blood dyed her red. Every time she listens to her child practicing singing at home, she can't help but feel different emotions surge in her heart.

Chaoyang is even more obsessed with drawing various gun structure diagrams. In his opinion, our weapons are too backward.

Lin Yutong has been paying attention to the college entrance examination results. But they didn't announce their results at all. By mid-August, the school teacher personally sent the admission notice to Danyang.

I don’t know how much the grades are, but I was admitted to the seed project of Zhongyuan Agricultural and Forestry University.

This year, the children's school entrance exams were good, and there were thirteen admitted. There were only two students in the first category, one was Danyang and the other was a boy. They were admitted to the normal university. There were two schools in the second category, such as the Water Conservancy College and the Electric Power College. There were three junior colleges, two were teachers' colleges, and one was a medical student. The remaining six were technical secondary school.

In this way, it can be considered as the results of key middle schools on the market.
