Great Power

One by one, snowflakes were scattered one after another, and quickly fell on the ground without wind, before it was turned into water by the warm ground, a thick cotton shoe trampled it under the foot, and soon the feet were wearing cotton shoes. Lifting it up, the snowflakes and snowflakes are squeezed into one piece, regardless of each other.

Walking in the snow, Zheng Jianguo looked calm and strong, with a yellow schoolbag with a five-pointed star behind him, his arms swaying from side to side according to a certain pattern, and his eyes were looking at the snow in the sky in front of him. He was going to keep the scenery forever Inscribed in his mind, he will write in his diary in the future: “December 11, 1977 coincided with the first day of the college entrance examination, and coincided with the first snowfall since the beginning of winter. The white snow on the ground will protect the winter wheat from the cold, so that the farmers who have been hungry for a long time will have a bumper harvest and eat their stomachs in the coming year.

Although I might pass the college entrance examination starting today and become a college student who eats white-faced buns, but these white-faced buns are also planted, protected, and harvested by the farmers on this land, but I just A little luckier than these grandparents and my peers, they can change their destiny by reading books, and at the same time contribute their own strength to the construction of the four modernizations."

As if being reminded by the snow in the sky, Zheng Jianguo knew that this was one of the few opportunities for him to be admitted to college, because he reviewed nearly a year earlier than others, and the review materials used were also the "College Entrance Exam Treasures" which was widely praised later. "If he fails the exam this time, his future chances will only be even slimmer.

In my memory, the hurried preparation of the college entrance examination revealed a lot of problems, the most important of which is that most of the candidates’ knowledge is extremely low, which triggered a widely criticized “pre-selection system” in the college entrance examination next year: fresh graduates A mock exam will be conducted before the college entrance examination, and students who pass the exam will get the admission ticket to take the college entrance exam. If the mock exam fails, either graduate early or wait for the next year to retake, many students who have performed abnormally will lose the title of the gold list. Opportunity.

Of course, it is undeniable that this method directly eliminates candidates with low knowledge, and most of the selected candidates are really good students. The best students in the arts and sciences in one place are selected for intensive training, and they become students. This has greatly reduced the human and material expenditures in the college entrance examination, and the conditions for applying for the exam are also limited to fresh graduates, not at this time except for some people with labels.

With a slight worry about not being able to pass the exam, Zheng Jianguo did not go directly to the Shanxian High School in this examination room, but went all the way to the family compound of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He and Zheng Donghua both signed up for the college entrance examination. The director was a little depressed, but those who were able to pass the college entrance examination were looked at differently. Moreover, Zheng Donghua's score in the supply and marketing agency this time was also the highest among all people, so she nodded and stamped her application form. chapter.

There were a lot of people who got up early. When Zheng Jianguo arrived, he did not expect to see an unexpected person, wearing a dog-skin cap with ear protection, wearing a military green coat, riding a beam bicycle under his hips, and covering his mouth tightly. After seeing him, I quickly inserted the car into the frame. I didn't expect that the foot slipped and the car fell to the ground with the car. After a while tossing, I got up, pulled off the neck of his mouth and greeted: "Grasshopper——"

"cough."

Looking at Kou Bin with a smirk on his face, Zheng Jianguo's throat suddenly itchy and dry coughing twice. He turned to look at the second floor of the single dormitory and yelled: "Sister Si, Si Sister~"

"Hey, coming soon."

There was a faint answer, Zheng Jianguo was a little confused about Kou Bin's state, and only a few sisters and family members called him grasshoppers, and at most a few cadres in the brigade, he didn't think how he was so close to this guy. "Brother Bin, why are you here if you don't send Kou Yang to the college entrance examination?"

"Well, Yang Yang is on it, I just sent her over, if you want to leave, you are here."

Regardless of the pain, he hurriedly put the bicycle away. Kou Bin said, pointing up with his hand wearing large cotton gloves, his mouth opened and he was furious: "My mother said it’s freezing cold this day, let you and Don’t go home at noon for your sister. You can save time to go back and forth to review, and go to my house for dinner at noon. I will not be sent to invite you. This is an invitation from my mother."

The body language of shaking his head and tails is a bit exaggerated, coupled with Kou Bin's a little bit to cover up, Zheng Jianguo has some strange thoughts. In the past, his attention was elsewhere. Now when he sees the appearance of this brother, he will know Some things that were previously ignored are considered budding, but fortunately, he told Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei before he came out. Instead of going back to dinner at noon, he came to Zheng Donghua and immediately said noncommittal: "It depends on my sister. Meaning, I can't be her home again."

"Oh, that would be great~"

When Kou Bin finished speaking with two big cotton gloves, Zheng Donghua's voice came upstairs: "Grasshopper, do you still drink some hot water?"

"I won't drink anymore, let's go, go early and get acquainted with the examination room earlier."

Zheng Jianguo spoke quickly, and the sound of locking the door came from upstairs. Soon Zheng Donghua and Kou Yang went downstairs, but what made him dumbfounded was that there was a figure behind him. Lin Jinmei's little face was cold. Or for another reason, I looked at him and raised his hand: "Zheng Jianguo, didn't you expect it?"

"Lin Jinmei, I didn't expect, when will you be back?"

He greeted him not far away. Zheng Jianguo didn't expect to see this person. Lin Jinmei followed downstairs and said with a smile: "Our educated youth are the same as Kou Yang and others. The branch secretary waved his hand and went home to review. Yes, there are those who are not preparing for the college entrance examination, and they all returned to the city under this name. The cold weather below is not enough to eat or wear warmth. When they return home, they can at least not worry about food and clothing. I heard that you reported to the doctor. , The doctor I also reported to, the three volunteers are Beiyi Qiyi and Resumption."

"Oh, that's not bad, let's go quickly."

Zheng Jianguo was stunned, said something in the interface and beckoned to Kou Bin next to him. Unexpectedly, the brother said, "I will send you to school before leaving."

"Ok."

Nodded speechlessly, Zheng Jianguo walked over to Zheng Donghua's side a few steps, looked at her face and said, "I haven't eaten cold things in the past few days, right?"

"No, it's all boiled before eating and drinking."

Thinking of Zheng Jianguo’s previous instructions, knowing that this younger brother knows more than his father Zheng Fugui, that is to say in my heart: "This opportunity is rare, and it may be the only opportunity for the college entrance examination——"

"Don't think too much, first pick what you know and do, and leave nothing to do at a glance, wait until you have done everything in the meeting, then go back and do what you are not sure about, and then finish what you are not sure about, and then do it again. Yes, you won’t have to write something on it according to your best understanding, don’t leave it blank, don’t leave a question blank."

Interrupting Zheng Donghua’s nervousness, several Zheng Jianguo walked in the wind and snow. As they got closer to the school, there were more people on the street. Most of them were candidates carrying their schoolbags towards the examination room. Looking at these fellow travelers, Zheng Jianguo smiled: "They are our fellow travelers, but also our competitors, that is, our opponents and enemies—"

"That said, we are also enemies."

Lin Jinmei blinked and took it, and the few people looked at each other for a while, and didn't say anything until they entered their respective examination rooms. Kou Bin left a sentence and ran away: "I will pick you up in two hours."

The college entrance examination time is 8:30 to 11 in the morning, and it is conservatively estimated that he will stay in it for more than two hours. Zheng Jianguo watched this brother disappear quickly on his bicycle, and couldn't help but maliciously wonder if he wanted to show off his ride in front of Zheng Donghua. The style of the bicycle turned his head and looked at a few people and said: "Go to the toilet first. You are not allowed to leave the examination room within two and a half hours, unless you hand in your papers in advance."

After Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, he carried his schoolbag and went to the men’s bathroom at the foot of the stairs. A few girls went to the women’s bathroom silently. When Zheng Jianguo came out, he found a seat in the examination room with the admission ticket, and felt cold. The wind rushed in through the cracks in the window, and it was cold before the exam started.

Soon, with the sound of ringing bells in the sky, Zheng Jianguo got up and put his schoolbag on the podium like other students. The shadows of people outside the misty window flashed in the room. Three or four invigilators walked in. Among them, Dai The man in a dog-skin hat picked up the chalk and wrote down the test discipline on the blackboard, while the other teachers were watching and holding the test papers. They didn’t let the candidates distribute them as they remembered, and quickly looked around. The teacher said: "Now that the exam is starting, it’s forbidden to whisper. If you have something to do, you must report it first. Otherwise, you will be treated as cheating. Everyone has waited for more than ten years. In the future, whether to wear warm leather shoes or straw sandals is up to you. Real skills."

A thin sheet of A4 paper and three blank sheets of paper arrived in his hand. Zheng Jianguo couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at the test paper three times over and over again, and a voice came from behind: "This examinee, what are you doing? ?"

The teacher who issued the test paper behind him had his eyes full of vigilance. Zheng Jianguo smiled shyly and did not speak. He turned his head and looked at the test paper a little speechless: "There are three questions, one composition, one word explanation, and one punctuation. The segmentation and translation of symbols into modern text-then, start with the composition "An Unforgettable Day"?"
