Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

After the application process was completed, all candidates across the country entered an anxious waiting period.

Many people were worried about their hopes being dashed. In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the gap between the number of people taking the exam and the number of people admitted was very large, which meant that many people were destined to fail because of unsatisfactory results or too high expectations.

"Mr. Xu, how do you think you did in the exam? Are you confident?" A colleague in the Administrative Publicity Office of Chuan County Machinery Factory asked Xu Yue who had taken the exam.

Xu Yue felt that many of the test questions were what she had reviewed before, so her score shouldn't be that bad. However, she didn't say it out loud, but just said a few innocuous words:

"Well, I've done everything I can. In the end, it all depends on how many points the examiner gives me. If I'm lucky enough to get into college, that would be great."

Everyone in the office knew her personality, so they didn't say anything more. Instead, they asked about Ou Ruoxing out of curiosity.

"By the way, aren't Secretary Xu and Secretary Ou friends? Did Secretary Ou take the college entrance examination?"

Xu Yue thought it was okay to chat about this topic, so she responded, "Ruoxing also took the college entrance examination, but she registered for the exam at the examination center in Beijing. She has always been very capable, so she should do well in the exam."

"That's right! When Secretary Ou came to our factory, he ranked first in the assessment, and he also negotiated a good price for our factory to purchase machines, which greatly increased the efficiency of our factory."

Speaking of Ou Ruoxing, everyone in the machinery factory is grateful to her. Ever since she purchased equipment from foreign businessmen at the best conditions, the efficiency of the machinery factory has improved a lot and the workers' welfare has also improved.

In Yongping Village, there are also some young people who have taken the college entrance examination, and the village chief and the team leader are also anxiously waiting for the results.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, do you think any of the young people in our village can get into university?" Team leader Han Shengli asked the village chief Zhang Guoqing anxiously.

Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at Han Shengli and said, "If I knew what you were asking, would I still be sitting here worrying?"

"Logically speaking, these young people have been reviewing for several months and started earlier than others, so they should be able to pass the exam." Han Shengli was not sure.

The main reason is that the young people in the village have not learned much knowledge, and few of them can go to high school. They really have no confidence in reviewing in the next few months.

"That's enough! We've tried our best. Let the final result be whatever it is. We can't force it!" In the end, even Zhang Guoqing gave up and just waited calmly.

The atmosphere among the educated youth in the educated youth center was not very good. Except for Zheng Yingjie who started reviewing in advance because of Xu Yue, the others were not so lucky.

In addition, after so many years in the countryside, they had basically given up. Now that the college entrance examination was suddenly resumed, they had no time to review. It was really hard to say what good results they could get.

However, they did not relax their expectations. What if they were admitted to the university?

"Hey, Zheng Zhiqing, you're really not nice. You were reviewing by yourself, why didn't you remind us?"

"That's right. We are all revolutionary comrades from the same educated youth camp. How can we not help each other?"

Both the male and female educated youth blamed Zheng Yingjie, thinking that he knew about the incident but did not report it, which resulted in them not reviewing in advance. Otherwise, their chances of getting into university would have definitely increased a lot.

"Oh! Why should I tell you something I'm not sure about myself? What if I tell you and the college entrance examination is not resumed? Will you guys have another face and blame me for being nosy?"

Zheng Yingjie did not indulge them. They saw him reviewing in the dormitory on weekdays. As long as they were ambitious and asked him to borrow materials to review together, he would lend them the materials because they were both educated youth.

But they all mocked him, saying that studying was useless and couldn't make a living. Now they were being sarcastic to him again, so don't blame him for hurting them.

"you!"

"Humph! Let's see how well you can do in the exam! If you can't get into college, then we'll see what you can say."

"That's right! If he had reviewed in advance, he would still not have done as well as us. Let's see how he can face others."

Seeing that Zheng Yingjie ignored them, they felt bored and stopped talking.

Some educated youth who had married villagers were also waiting anxiously. Some were even planning how to dump their village partners and return to the city to study after receiving their university admission letters.

So recently, the atmosphere in some families in the village who have educated youth daughters-in-law or sons-in-law is very bad, and some families are even noisy all day long.

"Mom, if I get into college, I will never abandon the father and the children. Believe me, when I go to college, I will write to you every month and come home during the holidays." Some educated youth with conscience could not abandon their husbands and children, so they confronted their in-laws directly and tried to win their approval.

"You will have returned to the city by then. The road is long and the sky is high. Even if you don't come back, there is nothing we can do. But if you are so cruel to abandon us, when we have the chance in the future, we will definitely go to your school or your workplace and ask your leaders whether it is justified to abandon a husband and children."

The mother-in-law of this family was a sensible person. She did not prevent her educated youth daughter-in-law from going to college. She just made some harsh remarks, hoping that she would have a conscience and not abandon her husband and children.

However, everyone can say nice things, but whether they can be fulfilled in the end can only be tested by time.

Back in Jing City, Ou Ruoxing didn't seem nervous at all. After the exam, she took her two children to play. In her free time, she translated some manuscripts for the Jing City Bookstore to earn some extra money.

"Ruoxing, you're not worried at all..." Mother Yang looked at her, hesitant to speak.

"Mom, how are my grades? I have an estimate in mind. Don't worry. I will definitely get into university." Ou Ruoxing comforted her with a smile.

"Okay, Liya, stop worrying about it. Ruoxing must be confident, so she's not in a hurry. The New Year is coming soon, so let's think about what to prepare for the New Year."

It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure, and this is really true.

The old lady’s analysis of the problem was always so sharp.

"Yes, yes, yes. This year is another reunion year, and our family must be lively too." Mother Yang, whose subject was diverted, continued what the old lady had said.
