Chapter 1517: Estimated Scores for 1977
Zhenyu asked, "Shijing, Jianbin, how about you two?"
"I estimate I can score around ninety in each subject too, definitely there’s some gap with Feifei, but it shouldn’t be too far off."
Jianbin nodded, "I’m about the same. How about you?"
Zhenyu smiled silly, "I estimate around four hundred."
All of them were studying science, even Li Xue was, as it’s quite popular now.
Chaoyang was also grinning foolishly, "Master, I’m also around four hundred."
Wei Kaiyun smiled and patted his disciple’s shoulder, "Good, really excellent. In twenty days, you’ll know the results. Relax properly for now."
Guodong and Li Xue’s scores were similar, Jing Chu’s was better, but without official results yet, it’s hard to say.
"Mom, take my answers tomorrow, I think Brother Hongjun and the others will definitely call. Tell them about it." Feifei said with a smile.
"It’s not feasible, let your dad call Vice Mayor Li tomorrow. Ask him to find someone who can come up with the correct answers."
Feifei nodded, indeed, if the call is lengthy, someone might have been found.
After the exam, Wei Kaiyun relaxed too, embracing Jiang Xinyu without letting go.
The next morning, seeing a few kids exercising, Wei Kaiyun was very satisfied, this is how it should be.
Shang Zhenkun was the most satisfied. The kids developed habits from a young age, proving they are very self-disciplined.
After breakfast, Jiang Xinyu and her husband went to work.
Wei Kaiyun returned to his office and called Li Yunqiao.
"Brother Li, can you come up with this college entrance exam’s answers? Let Hongjun and the others consult with you. Helps them know how to register."
"I’ll ask right away." Li Yunqiao was too excited yesterday and forgot about this.
Ten minutes later, he returned, "It’s possible. The local high school already had various subject teachers prepare answers."
"Good, soon Hongjun will definitely call, let Xinyu tell them to visit you."
"Xiao Wei, do you need to prepare answers?"
"No need, the kids went over it last night, there’s no significant issue, should be able to enroll."
"Haha, that’s great." Li Yunqiao was still thrilled.
Wei Kaiyun went to find Jiang Xinyu and told her Li Yunqiao had answers.
By nine o’clock, Hongjun’s call came in.
"Hongjun, it’s inconvenient to discuss over the phone, your dad already found the answers, just head to the city.
How about that? I think you five will definitely have no problem."
"Hmm, Teacher Jiang, I think I can score around four hundred and twenty-three."
"Very good, Hongjun, if you want, go ahead. Knowing the approximate score early helps you know which school to apply to."
"Hmm, Teacher Jiang, shall we call you after comparing answers?"
"Alright, I’ll wait for your news. If it’s too late, call me tomorrow."
The four of them were listening on the side. They also learned the news.
Hongjun called his dad again.
"Come over, I’ll have Uncle Wu take you directly."
"Dad, we’re in the county now. Should be able to reach the city in half an hour. Could you have Uncle Wu wait for us at the school gate?"
"Okay, I’ll have Uncle Wu go."
It’s a major life event for the son, this was the nationwide joint exam, hearing the son’s tone, the score should be quite good.
The five of them drove to the city again.
When they arrived at the school, Secretary Wu was already waiting at the gate.
After exchanging a few courteous words, the five of them went into the school together.
Several teachers were there, discussing this exam.
They moved quickly, and a teacher started reading the answers.
Finally, the approximate scores came out. The four boys were around four hundred and twenty, Wang Menglin was about four hundred.
"Your scores are excellent. Any thoughts on where to apply?"
The teachers were looking at them.
Hongjun smiled, "We four brothers want to go to the capital. Any thoughts, teachers?"
"The capital? There are many universities in the capital. With your scores, you absolutely can’t apply to the best universities, but agriculture, transportation, foreign languages, and teacher training are feasible."
This assured them, they indeed didn’t have the ambition to go to the highest institutions. As long as they can go to the capital, that’s their resolve.
Wang Menglin smiled and asked the teachers, "Teachers, I want to stay near home, don’t want to go too far, any good schools I can get into?"
"Yes, there are some not too far from us, but still quite good universities, your marks should qualify."
They already reviewed this female comrade’s file and know she’s a military spouse, attending university is no issue.
Secretary Wu and the five thanked the teachers before leaving.
"Hongjun, you guys go home; it’s almost noon, your dad will return for lunch."
The group nodded, wanting to hear his opinion.
They drove to Old Yang’s former house, which is now Du Fengying’s house.
Driving in, they rushed to the post office to call Jiang Xinyu.
"Teacher Jiang, our scores are all about four hundred and twenty-three, my sister-in-law four hundred."
"Hmm, I got it, your Uncle Han should return in the afternoon, he’s finding out."
"Teacher Jiang, we’re calling from the city post office, we’ll head back to the county after lunch."
"Alright, call before five, notify you once there’s news."
This reassured them more. Wang Menglin went to the supply store and bought a few pounds of snacks before heading home.
There are children after all, can’t go empty-handed.

Li Yunqiao listened to Secretary Wu, happily stood up, now pacing around his office.
Suddenly, remembered to call the education bureau.
So far, there isn’t much progress, as this is the first nationwide joint exam in years.
"Vice Mayor Li, did your kids take the exam too?"
"Yes, mine joined too."
"Got their scores?"
"They are all over four hundred."
"Hahaha, excellent scores, surely able to apply to the best universities?"
"Not sure, they matched answers at high school, discrepancies still possible."
"Shouldn’t be too much," he smiled congratulating Li Yunqiao before hanging up. He sighed, his own kids also joined, but earlier reported to him, if they scored three hundred, that would already be good. How are they so far behind others? Indeed, comparing oneself to others is frustrating, while Li Yunqiao’s kids just went to the countryside for labor. How is their score so good? Where did they get time to study?
