Reborn in the 60s and adopted

The time has come for the exam day.

For the future education of his children, the village chief started to instruct the village carpenters to make dozens of wooden tables as soon as he heard that he would be teaching in the village primary school. The school has not yet opened, so today is just the right time to use them for the teacher examination.

In the past few days, about 30 people have signed up. Most of them are from several large villages nearby. The only educated youth and one person, Tang Xiaolan, from the Bayi Brigade are from the village.

When they met, they greeted each other and sat down in adjacent seats.

"Yan Yan, what should I do? I'm a little nervous." Wang Ran frowned and didn't look confident at all.

"Ranran, what are you afraid of? This is just a junior high school test paper. After all, we have attended high school. Don't be afraid." Pei Yanyan held Wang Ran's hand and encouraged her.

"I feel better when you say that. It's mainly about whether I can go to work in the future, and I'm nervous. I'm really a loser." Wang Ran whispered into Pei Yanyan's ear, not daring to be heard by others.

"Don't be afraid, believe that you will be fine."

"Lv Hua, are you nervous?" Wang Ran decided to chat with someone else to divert his attention.

"Don't be nervous." Lu Hua was turning the pen in his hand without raising his head, wondering whether he should encourage Tang Xiaolan.

"Oh." Wang Ran knew that Lu Hua was a talkative person, so she took the initiative to end the topic. Hey, she was no longer nervous.

The village chief felt unhappy when he saw several educated youths and Tang Xiaolan in the village. There were still too few people in the village who were educated and courageous enough to take the exam.

Rows of students, one meter apart from each other, were sitting at wooden tables waiting for their test papers to be distributed.

The village chief stood in front of the table, looking at the noisy examinees, and knocked on the table.

"Okay, everyone be quiet. You are all educated people, and this exam is the key to whether you can be qualified as a teacher.

I hope you will take this seriously and not cheat. The village head, the party secretary, and the captains of each brigade will take turns to visit and monitor your behavior.

Those who have finished the test will quietly leave and wait for the results to be announced two days later. "

After saying that, the village chief then handed out the test papers that had been prepared long ago. Three papers for each person, Pei Yanyan and other educated youth took the test papers and took a quick look. Algebra, geometry and chemistry were on one test paper, Chinese, political economy, history and Selected Works of Mao Zedong were on another, and the remaining was basic agricultural knowledge on a separate paper.

Apart from the basic agricultural knowledge, the few people had never been exposed to it before, and they learned it in a hurry. Now they come to this brigade and work every day. They don't know how to do it, which is more or less a shortcoming. The remaining two are easy for them.

Three hours later, everyone handed in their papers one after another. Tang Mei was waiting at the gate. Seeing that most people were leaving with their heads down, she felt anxious, wondering how her two educated youth sisters had performed in the exam.

"Meimei." Wang Ran saw her little disciple waiting for her at the door and ran towards her happily.

"Sister Ran, you did well in the exam." Tang Mei finally felt relieved when she saw Wang Ran smiling.

"That's right. Junior high school knowledge shouldn't be too simple." Wang Ran said confidently.

"Ran Ran." Pei Yanyan came out from behind her and called her name disapprovingly. "Can't you be more low-key? Look around you."

Wang Ran looked in the direction Pei Yanyan pointed, and saw that many people who had been in the same examination room before were looking at her unfriendly.

Many of them were not used to hearing that the educated youth from the city did well in the exams. It was a bit difficult for them. Most of them from the countryside had only graduated from junior high school when taking the exam with the educated youth, so they were at a disadvantage in comparison.

"Hmph~" Wang Ran glared back without fear.

"Hey, you silly girl, who are you glaring at?" Wu Daya, who came to take the exam just after getting her diploma from the next village, felt that she did not do well in the exam, and could not stand Wang Ran's provocative look. She could not help but want to rush over and scold her.

"Daya, don't be impulsive," the person who came to take the exam with her quickly held her back.

"Sister Hua, don't pull me. I just can't stand this girl from the city." Wu Daya slapped Sister Hua's hand.

"You are the dead girl, your whole family are dead girls." Wang Ran couldn't stand others calling her dead.

"You shameless person, this is a village recruitment for teachers, what does it have to do with a stranger from the city like you? You have the nerve to snatch our quota." Wu Daya

“…” Wang Ran seldom quarreled with others, especially those from the countryside. Although he enjoyed watching them, he had not learned a few words and did not know how to respond for a while.

Tang Mei saw Wang Ran about to suffer a loss and couldn't help but help her curse.

"You are shameless, your whole family is shameless." Tang Mei climbed up the stone pier next to her and started cursing.

"You little girl, get out of here." Wu Daya stared at Tang Mei viciously.

"I won't, I won't. You are the only one allowed to insult others, but not others to scold you, you shameless person.

You also know that this is our team of 81 recruiting teachers, and you are from another village, so it is great that we allow you to take the exam.

You come and bully the educated youth from our Bayi Brigade.

You have to know that the registered permanent residences of the educated youth were all obtained from the Bayi Brigade. How could they not be eligible?

You are the outsider. You are so fierce, if you pass the exam, I won’t dare to come here to study.” Tang Mei yelled and tears fell.

But Wang Ran, Pei Yanyan and Tang Xiaolan felt sorry for her and couldn't help but surround her to protect her. Although Lu Hua didn't say anything, he stood silently beside Tang Mei.

"Believe it or not, I will beat you to death, you dead girl." Wu Daya exploded after hearing this and rushed towards Tang Mei.

"Just try and touch her if you dare." Pei Yanyan grabbed Wu Daya's raised hand.

"You, you let me go!" Wu Daya struggled to get free. Pei Yanyan's hands were like pliers and she couldn't get them free.

"Everyone come and look, this comrade is about to hit the kid. If this sister hadn't protected me, I would have been beaten by her," Tang Mei raised her voice.

"You...you...stand here..." Wu Daya couldn't break free, and pointed at the three of them with her other hand that was not pinched.

"What are you doing?" the village chief shouted angrily. He was just inside the house supervising the collection of papers when he heard the villagers calling him, saying that Tang Mei was bullied.

"Woo woo~ Village chief grandpa" Tang Mei saw the village chief coming, jumped off the stone pier and ran to the village chief and spoke before Wu Daya.

"She wanted to hit me, she wanted to hit me, she said the educated youth were not eligible to participate, I said the educated youth were all registered in the Bayi Brigade and were the most eligible, then she rushed over to hit me, luckily Sister Yan protected me, otherwise I would have been beaten"

Wu Daya was a little speechless.

"Village chief, she was the one who glared at me first," Wu Daya pointed at Wang Ran.

"This female comrade, you glared at me and then scolded me," Wang Ran said unconvinced.

"Okay, stop talking." The village chief felt a headache listening to their chattering.

"Meimei, don't cry, the village chief will help you." The village chief first coaxed little Tangmei. This little girl usually doesn't talk much and doesn't lie.

"Tell me who is right," the village chief pointed at the people who were still gathered here after the exam.

Several enthusiastic people came forward and recounted the scene.

The village chief never expected that Tang Mei would help the educated youth to curse people, even though she was right.

"Okay, Wu Daya, you are so aggressive that you are not suitable to be a primary school teacher in the village," said the village chief.

"Village chief, you can't do this." Wu Daya felt aggrieved. Others could scold her, but they dared not offend the village chief.

"Why can't I do this? You can even bully children, so how can I expect you to teach them well?" The village chief said bluntly.

"Okay, let's all go." The village chief also went back.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, everyone left.

"Sister Ran, Sister Yan, let's go home too." Tang Mei held their hands and strode forward.

"Xiao Meimei, you are such an amazing little girl." Wang Ran gently squeezed Tang Mei's hand.

"Of course, I'm the best," Tang Mei deliberately made a very proud expression. She was only 5 years old.

"Okay, you're the best."

Wang Ran and Pei Yanyan both laughed.

····

The village chief and several others put the papers together, and then asked the only educated person in the village, the brigade accountant who had attended a literacy class for a few days, to sort the papers by subject.

"Tang Laosan, come here." The village chief yelled, asking Uncle Tang San, who was knitting next door, to come over.

Uncle Tang San put down his work and ran obediently to the village chief.

"Uncle, what do you want from me?"

"Did you hear the noise outside just now?" asked the village chief.

"No, what's the matter?" His workroom was several minutes away from the main entrance and he could only vaguely hear a little bit of noise. He thought it was just the noise they made after the exam.

"Your little girl is amazing." The village chief told Uncle Tang everything that had just happened.

Uncle Tang laughed happily after hearing this.

"She is worthy of being my daughter. She protects her shortcomings and has brains."

"Hey, boy, when others hear this little girl like this, they will just say she is fierce, but you are different, you actually admire her."

"Of course, I just think my daughter is great." Uncle Tang looked proud instead of ashamed, which made the village chief's eyes hurt.

"Come on, come with me to the town's junior high school. I made an appointment with the principal the day before yesterday to ask the teachers there to help check the papers."

"Oh, let's go then."

Uncle Tang got on the bicycle leaning against the door and rode a long way with the village chief on his back.

On the road.

"Uncle, why do you want me to go with you again? I still have work to do." Uncle Tang San wanted to earn more money to buy more snacks for his daughter.

"You fool, why do I follow you wherever I go? Your uncle's two sons are both taciturn and can't even say a word.

It is impossible to expect them to be village chiefs." The village chief sighed while holding the back seat of his bicycle.

"Then I can't do that either." said Uncle Tang.

"You can't do that. You'll feel uncomfortable if you don't get beaten for three days, right?" The village chief slapped Uncle Tang on the back with his big hand, and Uncle Tang almost fell off his bicycle.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of falling down?" Uncle Tang San.

"Hmph, kid, I think you're capable, so I take you with me on everything, and you blame me for not living up to my expectations." The village chief looked at the man who didn't listen to him angrily.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll just keep quiet, okay?" Uncle Tang really rode all the way to the junior high school in town without saying a word.

The time came two days later.

"Ahem" the village chief opened the loudspeaker and sang in the broadcasting room early in the morning.

"Attention, fellow villagers. Here are the results of the test from the day before yesterday.

The three educated youth comrades in our village and Tang Xiaolan had the highest scores, so the four of them were appointed as teachers for our village.

I will post everyone's test scores at the entrance of the brigade in a while, and those who want to see their scores can come in a while." The village chief said and turned off the loudspeaker. He was very happy. Several people in the village had the best grades, especially Lu Hua, who was amazing.

At this time, in the village and in the fields, wherever there were people, people were chattering about this matter.

"I never thought that all the students who passed the exam in our village became teachers. If I had known, I would have let my little girl go there," the fat aunt regretted deeply.

"Bah, even if your girl goes there she won't pass the exam," said the villager next to the fat aunt.

"Hey, Aunt Fat, you are really flattering yourself. They are all from the city and are high school students. Your girl has not even graduated from elementary school." The uncle from the village complained to Aunt Fat in person.

"Isn't it held in our village? There's no doubt about it," the fat aunt said, still unconvinced.

"If you have the guts, say it in front of the village chief." The village uncle

"Just pretend I didn't say anything." The fat aunt didn't dare to say it in front of the village chief.

"Hey, you're quite sensible woman." The uncle saw that the fat aunt finally stopped talking nonsense and started doing her work.

...

"Pei Zhiqing, Wang Zhiqing, that's great, you've passed the exam." Aunt Tang San heard the village chief's announcement over the loudspeaker and excitedly said to the two people who were working behind her.

"Yeah, we both heard it." Wang Ran smiled brightly.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go to town to buy some meat so we can celebrate. I'll have to trouble you to cook for us," Pei Yanyan said happily.

"Okay, cooking is a piece of cake, don't be so polite." Aunt Tang San.

When I got home at noon, Aunt Tang was preparing to make lunch when Uncle Tang came running in from outside.

"Wife, look, I bought some pork belly, cook it quickly."

"Boss, why did you think of buying meat today?" Aunt Tang San remembered that the boss said he was going to work this morning.

"I asked someone to bring them here. I found out yesterday that they passed the exam."

"You knew it last night, why didn't you tell me?"

"I told you, then there will be no surprise." Uncle Tang thought that this matter could not be known from him.

"Okay, you are both right. Then I will do it. Pei Zhiqing said this morning that he would go buy a piece of meat in the afternoon. Tell him not to buy it." Aunt Tang San started to do the work in her hands.

"Then I'm out."

Uncle Tang went out to see where Tang Mei was first.

After searching for a long time but no one was there, I had to shout at the top of my lungs.

"Meimei, Meimei."

"Oh." Tang Mei's voice came from the educated youth's room.

"Come out for a moment." Uncle Tang.

After a while, Tang Mei came out.

"What's wrong, Uncle San?"

"I bought a piece of meat at noon to celebrate them becoming teachers. Please ask your sister Pei not to buy any more. We will have a good meal at noon."

"Okay, I'll go talk to Sister Pei." Tang Mei went back to Pei Yanyan's room.

I said what my uncle asked me to convey.

"Meimei, we still have to go to town in the afternoon. We need to telegraph the good news to our families so that they don't worry about us." Pei Yanyan said with a smile.

"Okay, it's all as it should be."
