It was a sunny day, the sky was clear and clear, and there was not even a trace of dark clouds. As soon as the sun rose, it hung brilliantly on the horizon.

The educated youths came to the paddy field early to gather, some of them still held books in their hands, and they had to look at them while standing there.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Chen Youshan came with a group of villagers. Many villagers moved tables and stools, which were prepared to be used as exam tables for the educated youths.

There is no spare big house in the village for them to use as an examination room, and the classrooms have not yet been built, so this examination will be held on the rice field. Chen Youshan asked the villagers to arrange the tables and chairs. Put it far away, so that you can't see what is written on other people's papers even if you stretch your neck.

After the tables and chairs were set up, Chen Youshan called the educated youths to sit down. Some of them, such as Jia Wenxing, had already checked the seats. As soon as Chen Youshan spoke, he ran over to sit down, for fear that others would snatch him away.

No one could understand his careful thinking, but it was just that the tables and chairs were somewhat different, after all, not every table and chairs were the same.Some have been used for a long time, knocked a little here, touched a little there, put them on the flat ground, and shook them twice. Jia Wenxing just spotted a big and new table early in the morning and rushed to sit on it.

The educated youths want some face anyway. With so many villagers watching around, even if they wanted to take a look at Jia Wenxing in their hearts, they wouldn't do it so obviously.As for Jia Wenxing, he has simply broken his can, and even the bastards in this village have more face than him.

The other educated youths looked at each other a few times, stepped forward together, and sat down in order, and the rows were full.

Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou also stood in the middle of the line, and finally sat in the third row from the bottom. After all the educated youths were seated, Chen Youshan stood in front and opened the package of papers that he had been holding in his arms all this time, and prepared to give them to the educated youths. Let's send it on.

As soon as he picked up a piece of paper, Jia Wenxing suddenly yelled, "Why should he take the exam with us?"

Chen Youshan raised his head, and Jia Wenxing stood in his place, pointing at Xiang Chen with disdain on his face: "Why is this little oil bottle here? Didn't he say he was selected from the educated youth? What qualifications does he have to take the exam with us?"

He used to be a little scrupulous about speaking, but now he has completely torn faces with Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen, and his speech has become even more unpleasant. He directly said what was in his heart and called Xiang Chen a fool.

Xiang Chen felt dissatisfied, and said to himself: "My brother is willing to let me drag you. If you want to take care of it, that bottle of durian tea water really didn't teach you enough."

"Jia Wenxing, you care about whether you lose face or not, even a child." Lin Jiayan said angrily.

"I want you to be nosy and pretend to be kind." Jia Wenxing replied unceremoniously: "You take care of him like this, don't take the exam, it would be nice to give everyone the opportunity."

"Jia Wenxing, do you want to fight?" Gao Yang also stood up, rolling up his sleeves with a murderous look on his face.

The other educated youths regained their strength and looked at Xiang Chen secretly. Most of them didn't speak, but some muttered softly, thinking that what Jia Wenxing said made sense.Among those who didn't speak, some eyes flickered, and they looked at Xiang Chen with unfriendly eyes.

Xu Hengzhou's face was ugly. He knew that Xiang Chen's reputation had spread too much, causing the fear of the educated youth.

"Are you afraid of me?" Xiang Chen stood up suddenly, staring at Jia Wenxing, showing an innocent and lovely smile.

"Who's afraid of you, you little brat, ha!" Jia Wenxing sneered: "You haven't even grown hair yet, have you graduated from primary school yet? Just you, I'm afraid hahahahahaha..."

He chattered a lot, and the more he talked, the more Xiang Chen understood that this man was afraid of him, and because he was afraid of him, he kept saying these things. He didn't say it for Xiang Chen, but for himself. What he wants to convince is actually himself.

Xiang Chen was unmoved, and even the smile on his face became brighter: "You are afraid of me, you are afraid that you will fail me in the exam, otherwise why wouldn't you dare let me take the exam?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Jia Wenxing blushed, panting heavily through his nose, and glared at Xiang Chen, as if he was about to rush over and beat him.

Lin Jiayan and Gao Yang took a few steps between the two, ready to protect Xiang Chen at all times, Xu Hengzhou also stood up and walked to Xiang Chen's side, frowned at Jia Wenxing.

Xiang Chen was tightly guarded, poked his head out and glanced at the other educated youths, his voice was tender and crisp: "Aren't you afraid to let me take the exam? Are you also afraid of me?"

What he said was very hateful. Several educated youths who were not very confident and had the same thoughts as Jia Wenxing were punctured in their hearts. They blushed immediately and used a loud voice to cover up their guilt: "Who is afraid of you? A little boy..."

Jiang Miao didn't move at the seat, her face was flat, and her voice was a bit cold: "I'm so many years older than other people's children. I don't think I'm ashamed to be chattering here without looking for reasons from myself?"

The surrounding villagers also heard the smell. They only knew that the kid Xiang Chen was said to be very smart, but they didn't expect to be so smart. These educated youths who were older than him were afraid of him.

If the villagers say that they think the village chief's method is really good, and that only the best teachers can teach their children well, they don't care whether Xiang Chen is a serious educated youth, anyway, they all come from the city and live in the city. I went to high school, what's the difference?

Those who make a fuss about not being allowed to take the exam are afraid of other people's children. They are so much older than others and they are cowardly, but they don't have much real skills. They don't want such a teacher.

Besides, if Xiang Chen was a little genius, if he could teach their children to be geniuses, how beautiful it would be!

"Let Xiang Chen take the exam!" A villager shouted loudly: "Our village chooses a teacher, and we are willing to let him take the exam too!"

Other villagers agreed one after another, and there was a commotion in the rice field, and Chen Youshan knocked heavily on the porcelain basin used as a gong to calm everyone down.

"Quiet! Listen to me!" Chen Youshan glanced around at the educated youths below, seeing that they had different expressions, and felt a little contemptuous of those educated youths who made troubles. He was really full of bottles and didn't shake half of them.

"Xiang Chen's participation in the exam was approved." Chen Youshan lectured from the top with a tone: "We select teachers to select the best talents. From the beginning, the scope of selection is not limited to educated youths. That is to say, we All villagers in the village can participate!"

As soon as these words came out, the educated youths all changed their faces. If this is the case, there will be many competitors, not to mention whether the villagers can pass them, the number alone will put a lot of pressure on them.

The villagers also made a fuss, what an honor it is to be a teacher, and you don't have to work, how wonderful!

Immediately, those who could not read or write were tempted, and shouted impatiently, asking Chen Youshan to arrange for them to take the exam as well.

"Why are you arguing!" Chen Youshan yelled, "What are you guys, don't you know? You! Chen Sangou, I'm talking about you. Can you write your own name? You still want to be a teacher and take an exam. , I don’t need money for this paper, I might as well use it to wipe my ass if I give it to you!”

The villagers laughed loudly, Chen Youshan shot down the young bird, and the others calmed down, thinking about it for themselves, they really didn't have the ability, so they didn't get involved in this matter.

The few literate people in the village have their own jobs, like the accountants in the village. If he is asked to become a teacher instead of an accountant, he is definitely not willing, and he may not pass the exam. He puts so much effort into it What.

Seeing that the villagers stopped making trouble, Chen Youshan continued: "Although Xiang Chen is not an educated youth, he came to our village. Even if he is a villager in our village, he represents the people of our village to take this exam. If you’re not satisfied, then yes, let’s skip the exam and vote directly, all the villagers vote for four teachers, what do you think?”

The educated youths trembled in fright, and shook their heads to express that they were willing to take the exam, and it was better to take the exam.Apparently, they still have some self-knowledge in their hearts, and most of the villagers don't like them, educated youths who have always regarded themselves highly.

The surrounding villagers were happy, thinking that they had lost their game, but the village chief said that it would be okay to let Xiang Chen represent them!If Xiang Chen passed the exam, it means that the villagers have passed the educated youth exam, and they have a long face!

"Xiang Chen, take the exam well!" The villagers all looked at Xiang Chen with fiery eyes. Xiang Chen smiled shyly, bowed to the villagers, and thanked them for speaking for him.

"Since you all have no objections, the exam will begin." Chen Youshan asked the educated youths to go back to each other, and personally handed out a copy of the paper to everyone.

"There are two papers in total, and they are handed out together. The exam time starts from now until twelve o'clock at noon. I will time it for you. When the time is up, I will take the papers to the commune and bring them back after they are approved."

"After such a long delay, can't we delay the submission of the test paper?" An educated youth got the test paper and found that the questions were relatively large, and immediately complained.

"I asked you to make trouble?" Chen Youshan replied in one sentence: "It's been so long, it's not enough."

Although they were still dissatisfied, they could only accept what Chen Youshan said.

After listening to the precautions for the exam, the educated youths began to write and answer the papers. Fortunately, the educated youths all brought pens, but the ink was provided by Chen Youshan.

Chen Youshan was an invigilator, condescendingly staring down at the educated youths who were busy writing. The surrounding villagers watched for a while and then left, but there were also many old people and children who surrounded the rice field to watch the educated youths take their exams.

They are natural invigilators. With so many people staring at them, it is really impossible to cheat.

Xiang Chen didn't care about that much, he was bound to pass this exam, he carefully reviewed the paper, and found that the paper should be newly printed, but the questions probably weren't new.The contents of the papers range from elementary school to high school, and they should be questions taken from the examination papers of each grade. Correspondingly, the amount of questions will be relatively large, which is about twice as much as the papers they usually do.

After checking it once, Xiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he knew it all, and he felt that the questions were relatively simple, so he had to strive for full marks in the test.

The rice field gradually quieted down, and the villagers who were watching walked away, because Chen Youshan didn't allow them to talk, and it was not interesting to just watch the educated youth write the papers.The only thing that was kind of fun was watching those educated youths scratching their heads anxiously who couldn't write the answers, which made the villagers feel a sense of satisfaction.

Time passed by, the sun was rising higher and higher, and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. A few educated youths who did not answer well were sweating from anxiety, and their hearts were even more irritable.Turning my head to look at the others, I saw that they were constantly writing, and my heart became anxious.

On the contrary, Xiang Chen answered very smoothly, and he didn't encounter any questions that he couldn't do. This way, his answering speed was faster. When he finished both papers, there was still the sound of writing.Without a clock, he didn't know the time. He estimated that there was still more than half an hour left.

He checked the paper back and forth twice again, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, he put down the pen and moved his sore fingers from holding the pen for a long time.

Xu Hengzhou sat next to Xiang Chen, put down his pen at about the same time as him, and waited for about ten minutes. Chen Youshan looked at the old-fashioned watch on his wrist and shouted: "It's time! Close the paper."

The educated youth down there suddenly became chaotic. Several of them were lying on their desks, clutching the papers and writing desperately. I am not willing to hand in the paper like this.

Chen Youshan didn't wait for them, he walked down, collected the papers from the first one, and passed by row by row, threatening to disqualify the exam if he didn't give it.

The papers were quickly collected, and the educated youths had different expressions. Some said with a mournful face that the questions were too large to finish, and some were annoyed that they suddenly couldn’t remember a question and remembered it only after the paper was handed in. There were also a few less , with an uncontrollable look on his face, he obviously felt that he had done well in the exam.

There are all kinds of living beings, not one and the same.

Chen Youshan ate the meal delivered by his family at the rice farm, and took a bundle of rolled up papers without taking a sip of water, and went straight to the commune.He has a good relationship with the leaders of the commune, and he has discussed with them a long time ago. Today, he will arrange for a teacher to wait for him there, and he can correct the papers when he goes there, and he can bring back the results on the same day.

Chen Youshan left with the hope of many educated youths. He had passed all the exams, and it was useless to say anything else.The whole morning exam was very exhausting to the human body, and everyone walked home clutching their hungry bellies.

Xu Hengzhou took Xiang Chen to thank Lin Jiayan and the others for helping Xiang Chen speak. After this incident, it can be seen that these people are indeed worthy of friendship.

The educated youths had no intention of going to work today, so Xu Hengzhou simply took a day off. He didn't have to hurry in the afternoon, and he could spend time cooking some delicious food at noon.

Xiang Chen lit the fire, and Xu Hengzhou made a dry pot chicken, spicy and delicious, with lotus root slices and potato slices added in it, especially for rice.A big pot of chicken with side dishes, the two of them ate it all.

When Chen Youshan came back, it was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon. He brought back the bundle of corrected papers as they were, and called the villagers and educated youths to hold a meeting in the rice field, announcing the highest score and the selected teacher candidates. .

Fortunately, it was almost summer, and the sky was getting darker and later. Although it was not as bright as the daytime, it was still possible to see clearly.

After everyone arrived, Chen Youshan still stood on the big rock that was used as a speech platform, and said with a serious face: "The papers have been graded, and the grades are from top to bottom. We have selected four teachers, and their papers will be posted later." Go to the wall outside the village committee, you can look at it at will, other people’s papers, if you want to see the results, you can also come and get it yourself, I won’t talk about it here.”

He did this to save face for the educated youths who were not selected. After all, there are some who do well in the exam and some who do not. There are twenty or so people, and some of them are always counting down.If the grades are read out in public here, it will be like a public execution, which is too embarrassing.

"From top to bottom, No.1, Xu Xiangchen, 200 points." Chen Youshan glanced at Xiang Chen and nodded in approval.

There was an uproar among the educated youth, apparently they did not expect Xiang Chen to get such a high score in the test, after all, they had already taken the test, so they knew exactly how difficult it was.

Because Chen Youshan had said in advance that the test papers would be posted, so they could look at the situation by themselves later, and if there were any problems, it would not be too late to make a fuss.

On the contrary, most of the villagers watching the excitement were very happy. In the morning, the village chief said that this Xiang Chen came to the exam on behalf of the people in his village, and he got No.1. What a face!

Xiang Chen's friends cheered and were happy for him.

Chen Youshan waited until the room became quieter before continuing to read: "No.2, Xu Hengzhou, 198 points."

This result is also very high, but compared to Xiang Chen, everyone else is prepared.Xu Hengzhou's excellence is well known. Although some educated youths would say some bitter words in private, wouldn't they just know how to repair a threshing machine, but they had to admit that Xu Hengzhou was excellent.

"No.3, Jiang Miao, with a score of 191." Chen Youshan announced another person, and Xiang Chen couldn't help showing a smile. He and his brother are very sure, and sister Jiang Miao can also be selected, which is really great!

There were three announcements in a row, and only the last one was left. The other educated youths became nervous, only the sound of heavy breathing was heard, and no one spoke.

Chen Youshan held the paper and hesitated for a while. There were people waiting anxiously below, so he frowned and said, "There are two No.4s with the same grades. They are Lin Jiayan and Yuan Wei, both with 190 points..."

The educated youths were silent for a moment, forgetting that they were not selected, and began to think about it.If it is No.3 tied, it is easy to handle, and you need both of them, but No.4... Even though you have the same test scores, you can only ask for one, which is more embarrassing.

Chen Youshan was obviously also very troubled, the selection method was decided by him, and he thought it was perfect at first, but it turned out to be such a coincidence, and he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds for a while.

Xiang Chen secretly pulled Xu Hengzhou's hand, and said in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think we should do?" He wanted Lin Jiayan to be selected.

Xu Hengzhou already had a countermeasure in his mind. He felt that Chen Youshan should be more inclined to Lin Jiayan. Lin Jiayan came half a year earlier than them. He was warm, cheerful, upright and polite, and had a good reputation among the villagers.Since the results are the same, the villagers can choose, so Lin Jiayan has a high probability of being elected.

It's a pity that Chen Youshan was limited by his exam results, so he didn't even think about the villagers voting for a moment. Xu Hengzhou was standing below, so it was not easy to go up to remind him.

"Lin Jiayan, you are a big man, how dare you rob other lesbians?!" Jia Wenxing suddenly accused loudly.

This is very unreasonable. After talking about the grades, Lin Jiayan and Yuan Wei have the same grades in the test, so they are naturally qualified to compete. How can Yuan Wei have to let her because she is a woman.

Lin Jiayan's complexion was not very good-looking. It would be fine if he didn't get in the exam, but something happened after getting in the exam. It really makes people panic.Jia Wenxing used these words to tease him again. Although he thought it was unreasonable, the pitiful and weak side of his character made him unable to say anything to refute.

"Let's draw lots!" Yuan Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Village Chief, do you think this is okay? Comrade Lin and I will draw lots together, and whoever is drawn will be the winner."

Chen Youshan was taken aback, and subconsciously went to look at Lin Jiayan. Lin Jiayan felt that this method was fair, and nodded in agreement.

Chen Youshan immediately asked someone to find a piece of wheat straw, turned his back, folded one long piece and one short piece, and held it in his hands, the exposed part was the same length.

"Let's choose!" Chen Youshan asked Yuan Wei and Lin Jiayan to come forward, and each of them smoked one, and the long one was the one chosen.

Lin Jiayan gestured to Yuan Wei to choose first, but Yuan Wei gritted her teeth secretly and stepped forward to take one. Chen Youshan spread his palm and exposed the other.
