Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

Watching the third uncle's back disappear behind the opposite door.

Fang seemed to be thinking about something.

Close the door and continue reading.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 7th.

Today is the day of the college entrance examination.

Different from later generations.

Now, filling out the application form is done half a month before the exam under the organization of the school.

Each student can fill in up to ten choices.

When other students had filled in five, six, seven or eight.

Fang Xiang only filled in Shuimu University.

Such eccentric behavior made his homeroom teacher, Mr. Su, complain about him for many days.

However, Fang Xiang has no mental burden or pressure.

I still have this bit of confidence.

As for my major, I chose the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing.

This later became the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The review is filled out together with the volunteer application.

For the other party, this is also very simple.

My father is a soldier and my mother is a worker.

A standard and clean working class.

The school branch and the class teacher will not have any difficulty with this.

The four big words "recommended admission" were directly written on it.

Don't underestimate these words.

Nowadays, many students get high scores but are unable to go to college.

The problem lies in the words "admission not recommended".

Early in the morning.

Check the new Hero pen and ink again.

Carrying his schoolbag, he ran out of the door in a flash.

We arrived at the Old Drum Tower Street and bought four meat buns and soy milk.

Eat while walking.

There are still a lot of cyclists on the road going to work.

These days, there is no such thing as making way for the college entrance examination.

Today is Wednesday, and it’s time to go to work.

On the contrary, the primary schools have already had their summer vacation.

Fang Xiang was lucky enough to be assigned to Beijing No. 1 Middle School in the college entrance examination.

Unlike Wei Shengli, who was unlucky and was assigned to No. 35 Middle School.

Several kilometers away from home.

Arrived at the school gate.

A cordon has been set up.

There were several uniformed police officers at the door maintaining order.

Checking students' reference cards and backpacks.

There were a lot of parents and reference students around.

This is the same as in later generations.

They are all here to accompany you in taking the exam.

Say words of comfort and encouragement.

Fang Xiang handed over his schoolbag and reference certificate.

After cross-checking, the two police officers returned the schoolbag to Fang Xiang.

Nodding, he was allowed to pass.

Only then did Fang Xiang realize that there was a pile of books on the ground at the door.

There are so many that they are almost forming a small hill.

I think the student who was using it for reference forgot to leave the book at home.

Then it was thrown away by the police who were conducting the search.

Entered the school gate.

There were two military vehicles parked on the playground.

A dozen soldiers with 56 assault rifles took up a guarding posture.

Then there were a few police officers.

Standing under the eaves and smoking.

Facing the soldiers from a distance.

Walk to the door of the classroom where Fang wants to take the exam.

There were three people who looked like teachers and a police officer standing there.

Took Fang Xiang’s reference certificate and schoolbag.

After cross-checking again.

The reference certificate, pen and ink were returned to Fang Xiang.

But he threw his schoolbag on the desk at the door.

Fang wanted to look over there.

Not just his own schoolbag.

There are also seven or eight school bags on it.

It seems that you are not allowed to bring school bags.

Enter the classroom.

There are already students sitting at their examination tables.

I don’t recognize any of them.

Fang Xiang didn't say anything and found the place on the table where his number was posted.

Sat down.

Start by checking the pens and ink.

Before traveling through time, Fang Xiang had taken the college entrance examination.

Much stricter than this time.

So I don't care.

It's just that the other students all looked a little nervous.

After a while, the bell rang.

The teacher and police officer who were checking at the door just now also walked into the classroom.

One person was at the podium in front, one was at the blackboard in the back, and a police officer was standing at the door.

Another person held the papers and started distributing them.

While handing out the papers, he also explained the exam room rules and taboos.

The classroom could previously accommodate fifty or sixty people.

There were only twenty candidates sitting in the seat.

All scattered.

There was almost no chance for whispering.

Fang Xiang also got his own test paper.

Start looking through it.

The first test was in Chinese, which consisted of two large sheets, totaling four pages.

There is not much difference between it and the examinations in later generations.

Multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, sentence-making questions, and essay questions.

However, the difficulty is as high as heaven and earth.

I have to say, this era.

After all, there are very few intellectuals.

The threshold is not set particularly high.

Just when Fang wanted to look at the test paper.

The second bell rang.

The teacher who had just handed out the papers spoke again.

You can answer the questions now.

The candidates opened their pen caps, lay down and started answering the questions.

Fang Xiang was still in no hurry and finished reading all the test papers.

Then he took out the pen that had just been filled with ink and wrote his test number and name.

The questions in today’s college entrance examination are not difficult.

The reserved time is also quite ample.

There are four papers, and the number of questions is really not that large.

The time is also three hours.

Two exams a day, for three consecutive days.

There are six subjects in total, with a total score of 600.

I just can’t figure out how others take the exam.

But for Fang Xiang, this test paper did not pose any pressure at all.

The difficulty is almost the same as the last test.

That is, the title has been changed.

For the previous questions, you basically just need to memorize them.

The only thing you need to do is the composition topic.

However, this essay is of a different type from last year's.

This is a reading note about the author's thoughts after reading the story about dried vegetables.

But it didn't pose a problem for Fang Xiang.

After finishing the composition and checking it again from the beginning, Fang Xiang raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Only two hours had passed.

There is no talk of submitting the paper early yet.

You have to sit for at least three hours.

There is no other way but to wait.

After the Chinese language test, it’s time to take foreign language, mathematics, physics, chemistry and politics.

It’s all the same process and the same proposition format.

Fang Xiang after taking the mock exam.

I have long been familiar with the examination methods of this era.

All the papers were finished within two hours.

The same is true even for Russian.

There is no way, if you can do it, ... and if you can’t do it, you can’t do it

Even if it's just before the battle.

Fang Xiang didn't expect his Russian to improve dramatically.

Get the ideal score.

As long as he can pass the exam, that would be Fang Xiang’s greatest hope.

Even if I really failed, look at the test results of other subjects.

It's not a big problem either.

The other subjects have basically guaranteed that I can be admitted to Shuimu University.

The score in Russian is just icing on the cake.

It just gives Fang Xiang more possibilities to choose departments.

It's too late, but it's soon.

As the bell rang.

The invigilator started collecting the papers.

On July 7th, the last exam was over.

It is not easy to persist for three days with the temperature over 30 degrees.

Outside the examination room, some people were celebrating, some were crying, some were excited, and some were as still as wooden sticks.

Fang Xiang, who had no one to pick him up, looked at these people and couldn't help feeling complicated.

Fortunately, this year is 1964.

In 66, the college entrance examination was completely stopped.

It took ten years to reopen.

Missing out on these two years is almost like wasting your entire life.

But you can't come too early.

A few years earlier, it would have been even more painful.

Even stuttering is difficult.

On the way home, I silently calculated my score.

Just let go of the college entrance examination completely.

After the college entrance examination, it’s time for vacation.

Now, not only can we not check our scores, but even the channels for obtaining admission information are very limited.

You need to wait until the school mails the admission letter.

Or read the special edition of the newspaper.

Only then will you know whether you have been admitted.

But this will be at least a month later.

As for how to spend the past month.

Fang Xiang has also thought it through.

I had previously inquired about the Xinhua Bookstore headquarters located in Xicheng.

It is the largest bookstore in Beijing.

There should be quite a few books that interest you.

It's just a bit far away.

About four or five kilometers.

Just when Fang was thinking about whether to buy a bicycle.

But he saw Yan Jiecheng squatting at the door of the slum, smoking.

There are already several cigarette butts on the ground.

When he saw him, Yan Jiecheng immediately dropped the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and stood up.

Eyes sparkling.

Fang Xiang could tell that this person was waiting for him.
