Wearing books about young educated youth in the 70s

At the end of April, Liujiacun had basically returned to its previous appearance, except that Xu Xiaoyu was relieved that something was not right with Yang Wanwan, and it was not the kind of conflict with the male protagonist that was wrong, but that she had been a little depressed since the last heavy rain.

She couldn't see why, but she noticed that the heroine came out more often, and sometimes even wandered into her yard, staring at the book in her hand in silence.

The gaze made Xu Xiaoyu's scalp numb and he asked dryly.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiaoyu, we read so many books and write so many questions. What if we think too much in the end? Will there be nothing at all..."

Xu Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and she was thankful to have closed the doors and windows. Although she didn't know why the heroine was so lost, she was speechless.

But he quickly denied interrupting her.

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with you today? It's a good thing for us to love learning. Reading enriches our energy. Who cares if it's of no use? Wanwan, don't think about things that are there or not. Just write and that's it. , People live for decades in this life, and you won’t know whether what you do now is right or wrong until later. In order not to regret it, let’s try more things!”

Although Xu Xiaoyu denied the third consecutive incident, Yang Wanwan was already trapped in her own trap.

Something she had been obsessed with had gone wrong. She could cheer up and turn her attention to other places during the rainstorm, but now she felt ridiculous when she was free.

Once again, there was a gap in her relationship with Zhou Tingshan. After struggling for so long for an illusory goal, she could not find anyone to talk to, and the only person she could find was Xu Xiaoyu.

"Maybe I'm not that good at all? I stay up late every night to review, and I have to work during the day, and my study results are not very satisfactory. I..."

Xu Xiaoyu frowned, but still spoke.

"You want to know why?"

"What?"

"You are too anxious, and the purpose of learning is too strong. It does not mean that learning cannot be purposeful, but the goals you set for yourself are too high. If you fail to reach the goals, it will affect your mood and the next round of learning. This cycle will hurt you. It’s easy for the body to feel sorry for itself.”

She spoke directly and viciously. Fortunately, Yang Wanwan was not angry. After hearing what she said, she spoke in a daze.

"...But time is getting less and less...My learning ability is not strong. If I don't seize the time, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Xiaoyu poured herself a cup of tea, poured another cup for Yang Wanwan, and spoke in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Are you afraid that you won't achieve the results you want? But there are more than one opportunities. If you fail this time, there will be another time."

"Or are you afraid that the opportunity you have been looking forward to will not come? Wanwan, what do you think of our overall development situation? A large number of intellectuals are going to the countryside, universities are empty, the country is in a state of drought, and there is no one available. Is this situation conducive to development? We are just thinking about this level today, but someone may have already taken action."

"I didn't want to say this to you, Wanwan. As your good friend, this is also the last time to discuss this with you. We all swallowed these words - the opportunity will not disappear, it will only come earlier or later. .”

Yang Wanwan's brain was in chaos and her heart was beating like thunder. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Xu Xiaoyu was talking about the importance of knowledge on the surface, but the deeper meaning was silent and tacitly understood by both of them.

Yang Wanwan's anxiety calmed down a bit. She took a sip of warm water and her eyes became red for having such a good friend.

"Thank you Xiaoyu, I understand."

Yes, she is too sharp. She has obviously lived for decades and has not seen as much as Xiaoyu.

She only knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed, but for a moment she did not think about why it would be resumed, and why else?The country has no one available, so it can only recruit these intellectuals back. This is an inevitable result. It is expected that the subsequent large-scale return of educated youth to the city will be similar.

Xiaoyu is right, as long as there is a chance, if you can't succeed in the first time, try again. Anyway, there is a college entrance examination every year. She doesn't believe that she can be so stupid, how can she go to college after living two lifetimes.

After the two separated this time, Yang Wanwan did not come to see her again.

She didn't hang around outside like before, and resumed her daily routine of studying and working at the same time. Her complexion looked much better, and her cheeks had grown some flesh. It seemed that she had listened to her words.

Not long after that day, there were suddenly some rumors in the Educated Youth Academy. They were talking about nothing else but the resumption of the college entrance examination. Regardless of whether it was true or false, this news caused a storm.

Of course, the news about the resumption of the college entrance examination was not spread by Yang Wanwan and Xu Xiaoyu, but by a female educated youth who had some relatives in the family. After learning the news, she immediately told everyone, but she was not sure.

She repeatedly stated that she had only heard the news by chance, but that the proposal had not yet been finalized, and it was difficult to tell whether it was true or not. But even so, it was enough to make the educated youth excited. No matter if it was true or not, try it. There was a sudden uproar. The craze for finding used books.

Xu Xiaoyu was also surprised when she heard this. It was only May, five months before the official announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, but someone with powerful connections actually got the news.

You must know that although you only know it five months in advance, the knowledge you have learned in these five months can at least defeat a large number of candidates who are behind in information.

This craze has not only shaken the people in the Educated Youth Institute, but even the villagers have heard about it. They don't know a single Chinese character, and whether the college entrance examination is resumed or not will not have any impact on them. At most, they are a little happy for their own boy, and there will be more in the future. A way out.

But more villagers still invariably paid attention to the educated youths who married villagers, and everyone talked about them.

If you have good intentions to comfort the heads of those families, you should take good care of them and don't let people buy random books. If you take the exam too far, you won't do anything immoral.

In fact, even if others don't gossip, those families feel a little unhappy. It's okay for the female educated youth to have a baby, but the male educated youth are the key targets of observation.

For example, Feng Yulin just learned the news.

No one knew how bad his mood was. Hearing the news was like a bolt from the blue. He regretted ten thousand times that he had impulsively received the certificate, but now it was too late to regret it.

Liu Mei was washing clothes and kept observing his face, feeling a little uneasy.

"Brother Feng, that thing about missing people is probably a lie. People say that you won't want us two after you pass the exam and come back to the city. Isn't that true?"

Yes, she was already a little pregnant with her big belly, and the sweet fruit she had with her lover now seemed a little ironic.

Fortunately, Feng Yulin is not stupid. Although the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread quickly, there is no real evidence. For the time being, he has to rely on the Liu family. There is no need to fall out so quickly. The worst is to buy a book and study first.

Although a rain washed away the food, the Liu family was a village cadre before, so it was impossible for them to be without some money.

He forced a greasy smile and lowered his voice to comfort her.
