Go into the office building.

A waitress greeted me warmly: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Yu Min replied: "I would like to inquire about English learning."

"No problem, please sit down and I will explain it to you in detail. Do you need it yourself or can you help your children at home?"

"Myself."

Hearing this, the waiter was not surprised: "Then I recommend adult oral one-on-one."

"Can I ask about your academic qualifications?"

Yu Min looked calm: "Graduated from high school."

She actually had some basic knowledge of English, and there were English classes in junior high school and high school, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and now it's almost given back to the teacher.

The waiter didn't feel any weird at all: "Understood."

After some conversation, Yu Min chose to sign up for one-on-one. In addition to speaking, IELTS and TOEFL were also included.

Because she heard that these are necessary to study abroad.

550 yuan per class.

This is not cheap. You can buy 92 kilograms of brown sugar in one class.

"When are you free to come to class?"

"It's okay tonight."

"Okay, then I'll make an appointment for you at 7-8pm, what do you think?"

Yu Min thought for a while and replied: "Maybe 8-9 o'clock."

"Okay, no problem. Can class start at 8 o'clock tomorrow night?"

"can."

"Ok."

After discussing it, she added the salesperson's WeChat account and returned to the dormitory without much chatting.

At this moment, it's almost 12 noon.

She made a simple lunch, took a half-hour lunch break, and got up to go to work.

At 4:[-], get off work.

It was only 5:[-] when dinner was ready. After the meal, she went to eat.

At 6:1, I picked up a primary school mathematics textbook for grade [-] and started reading it seriously.

The first-grade course was not difficult for her. Yu Min read ten lines at a glance. In the blink of an eye, an hour passed and she put down half of the book she had read.

I changed my clothes.

Flashed away to 2024.

New Oriental, the waiter yesterday led her into a room, where a blond foreign lady was sitting, and she smiled kindly when she saw her.

Yu Min also smiled politely.

She showed no sign of surprise. She is from Peiping. Sino-Soviet relations were not so tense when she was a child, and she often saw Soviet people.

The Soviet Union belonged to Europe and was also blond.

"This is our senior foreign teacher, Alice; Alice, this is your new student, Ms. Yu Min."

Alice took the initiative to reach out and say hello: "Hello Yu Min, I'm Alice."

Yu Min responded: "Hello, Teacher Alice."

The salesman smiled and said, "You guys chat, I'm going out first."

There were only two people left in the house.

Alice gave her a stack of teaching materials called New Concepts, explained it, and started formal teaching.

Yu Min is extremely serious.

Although she is considered rich, the cost of 550 for a class still makes her feel painful. She starts teaching a day earlier and spends less money for a day.

Time passed slowly.

It is still the leisure time for farmers, and Yu Min is following the steps: going to work, reviewing elementary school Chinese and mathematics knowledge, and learning English. He is busy and fulfilled.

Tenth.

It's time for the exam.

on February 2th.

It’s already January 1th, so there’s only one month left.

Everyone is more urgent to study.

The learning atmosphere at Baijiaping Educated Youth Point is high, but many educated youth in other places are not too nervous about this exam. They feel that they are just primary school teachers and there is no need to prepare for it.

The test results will teach them how to behave.

Closer to home.

While studying, Yu Min did not forget about her career, including her business with Zhang Ye, Qian Yue's business, collecting wine and old furniture...

that's it.

February 2th came quietly.

The exam location was arranged at a middle school in the county, so that students could take the exam while they were on vacation.

Yu Min and his party were accompanied by 5 people.

On the way, I met many young people walking in a hurry, many of them holding books in their hands and reading while walking.

Yu Min was speechless at this.

I'm afraid that all the people from the three communes who meet the conditions will come, right?

At least several hundred people.

Choose 23.

The acceptance rate of less than 10% is still a bit scary.

However, Yu Min was confident in his heart.

She is not sure about Chinese and mathematics, but she is very confident in English.

One spot cannot be missed.

They were asked to arrive at the county middle school at 9 o'clock, but Yu Min and the others arrived at 8 o'clock, surrounded by people.

Zhang Lanfang felt a little guilty: "There are so many people~ I'm afraid there is no hope."

Liu Feng hurriedly comforted her: "We have worked hard for 40 days and we will definitely succeed."

Chen Zhibin echoed: "Yes, Lan Fang, you can definitely do it."

Hearing this, Zhang Lanfang seemed to have a little more confidence and smiled freely: "Just try your best to test your best and don't let yourself regret it."

Yu Min nodded heavily: "That's right."

While waiting, people arrived one after another, and by 8:50, they were all here.

Yu Min roughly estimated that there were about 300 people. She estimated that two-thirds were educated youths and one-third were locals.

Under the organization and call, they entered the classroom one by one.

The five of them, Yu Min, were assigned to the same classroom because they were always together.

The Chinese language test is from 9:30 to 10:[-] in the morning, and you can hand in the paper in advance.

Get the test paper.

Yu Min took a cursory look and looked confident.

She wrote her name first and started answering the questions seriously. She finished it in one go. Then she looked at the time. It was exactly 10 o'clock, and it only took half an hour.

She wasn't going to hand in the paper.

I went out alone, and waited until someone from Lan Fang and the others handed in the papers before handing them in myself.

Just finished speaking.

Zhang Ye's voice came from behind: "Teacher, I want to hand in my paper."

The teacher was stunned for a moment, then strode over.

Zhang Ye walked out, passed by Yu Min, glanced at her, met her eyes, and smiled at each other.

Yu Min also raised his hand.

The teacher understood and nodded to her.

Yu Min also stood up.

When she went out, Zhang Ye leaned against the pillar in the corridor and looked at the door of the classroom. When he saw her, he walked over naturally: "How did you go in the exam?"

Yu Min smiled easily: "Not bad."

"..."

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and then Zhang Lanfang, Liu Feng and Chen Zhibin walked out together.

The two of them immediately greeted him.

Judging from their expressions, Yu Min thought they must have done well in the exam, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Zhang Lanfang said with a smile: "Xiao Min, the exam is at 1:10 in the afternoon. It's only after [-] o'clock. It's a bit early to have lunch. How about we take a walk around the campus?"

"I have no opinion."

"it is good."

"Okay."

Everyone agreed and went downstairs.

The middle schools in the 70s had cement walls and did not occupy a large area, with a total of 2 teaching buildings.

However, there is a sports field in the back.

It contains 2 basketball courts and 4 table tennis tables. A group of students are playing basketball.

Chen Zhibin felt a little itchy.

"Lao Zhang, let's compete?"

Zhang Ye glanced at him and nodded: "Come."

Chen Zhibin immediately ran over excitedly and didn't know what he said to the children. They gave him the ball and exited the basketball court.

"Can you join the three of us?!"
