Chapter 230. College entrance examination resumes
Using later generations' speech- the poorer they are, the more they birth and the more they birth, the poorer they get.
Every era has its own norm. In the current moment, they have no awareness of the matter of raising children.
Even if there was, it was a very small fraction.
It was fine as long as they (the babies) have a bite after they were born. They (the parents) won't consider too much.
That's how the New Year's Day of 1976 passed.
On the second day of the New Year, Eldest Sister and Second Sister brought their husband and children over for a visit.
After the reception, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai followed the old rules. They took the children to the city to take pictures and watch movies.
1976 was destined to be an extraordinary year.
Many things happened this year. Even Lin Qing He rarely went to the county city.
She also instructed Da Wa to not participate in some student activities when idle. Da Wa could see his mother's worries, so he agreed.
This year, there was a lot of unrest outside. When Zhou Qing Bai went out to buy pesticides, he almost got into trouble. He was able to withstand the investigation and came back without incident.
However, Lin Qing He had lingering fears. The leader knew that there was another storm outside, so he didn't send Zhou Qing Bai out again.
This kind of movement continued until the second half of the year. Only then, it improved.
Their production team was considered safe. Many people in other production teams weren't in the mood to work.
Especially after the big movement was over. After the bad guys were caught, it was almost a celebration.
Lin Qing He didn't go out much from beginning to end. She still continued to collect meat from Sister Mei, but those were all stored in the space. Anyway, it won't go bad. As for the county city, she had no intention of going there this year.
Everyone in the school was discussing it.
"Don't know what will happen in the future." The principal said with mixed emotion.
Lin Qing He didn't know how to voice it out. However, it was Chen Shan who said it, "Principal, rest assured. The bad guys are defeated. It will definitely get better and better in the future."
He applied to go back to visit relatives in the municipal city this year. Chen Shan, the scumbag, was from the municipal city. But after the college entrance examination was restored, he was admitted to a university and went to other provinces.
The other teachers thought he had received any news and all huddled to ask.
Chen Shan looked at Lin Qing He.
Until now, he hadn't completely given up on Lin Qing He.
He knew that Lin Qing He had set her sight on Zhou Qing Bai, a rural man. He couldn't understand how she, a dazzling, self-taught woman, would like Zhou Qing Bai, this taciturn with no future?
That's why he would still test Lin Qing He's from time to time.
It's just that Lin Qing He never gave any hope.
For example, this time. When he looked over, Lin Qing He had her head in sorting out her own paper, not caring whether he had any news or not.
"I did hear a few words when I went back this time, but don't spread it out." Chen Shan misleading said.
With this, everyone had a joyous expression.
Lin Qing He snorted in her heart. This scumbag had some skill in coaxing people.
Did he say something? It can be said he said nothing.
Saying it will get better and better in the future, wasn't this nonsense? Who would dare to say that it will get worse and worse in the future? It can directly get one killed.
In the year 1976, Lin Qing He was very cautious. While being cautious, she was also a bit high-spirited. The next year was her highly awaited 1977.
It will also be a brand new year.
In the second half of the year, during October the rural area was occupied with the autumn harvest. Lin Qing He began to go to the county city when free and sell all the leftovers she had hoarded this year.
She made a profit of almost three hundred yuan and then bought a batch of supplies from Shen Yu.
1976 passed very fast.
It went without saying Lin Qing He went all out on this year's New Year celebration, because starting next year, she and Da Wa will enter university.
Both she and Da Wa were bound to win a spot in college.
Of course, Lin Qing He thought so. Da Wa didn't know yet. After he finished high school, Lin Qing He didn't plan to let him take a test. Instead, she got him to wait.
Lin Qing He had notified Zhou Qing Bai a long time ago on this matter. He didn't have any objections. He just remained a little silent.
In October of 1977, the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread throughout China and the examination will be taken one month later.
All the educated urban youth who were in the countryside went wild.
They went everywhere to borrow books. They also didn't participate in the fieldwork and stayed in the room to revise and study.
This was the only way for them to return to the city. How could they be willing to miss it? They had spent too many years in the countryside. They desperately want to go back to the city. They had enough of the rural area!
"It's truly a misfortune. If they go back to the city, what will happen to their men and children, as well as their wives and children?" As he smoked a big cigarette, the leader told Zhou Qing Bai with a frown.
The leader's daughter was married to an urban educated youth. Everything was fine before, but now he has put all his hopes on studying.
If he returns to the city later, what will happen to his daughter and grandson?
Moreover, there was no short of this phenomenon.
Many educated youths, who went to the countryside, had married and had children. Whether it was male or female educated youths, they want to pass the exam and leave now the college entrance examination was restored. What will their family do?
The family can't follow them. Relocating the household registration was a big problem. They don't a house or job. Forget about moving the household registration.
Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. He'll discuss it with his wife after returning home.
Lin Qing He shook her head. What should she say? Returning to the city was a major movement, and was also a major change. It'll happen sooner or later. Most of the educated youth were unwilling to stay in the field and dig food.
It'll be liberated in the future and won’t be the same as before. At most, they can rent a house when they enter the city.
But for these two or three years, it will certainly remain the same.
People's hearts were restless. Two to three years was enough for many people and many families to fall apart.
But what can be done? People in this era always had it extremely hard.
"Teacher Lin, do you have any books at home? Let us borrow them." Two female educated youths came over.
"You can go to the school and ask. Our books had been lent away." Lin Qing He said.
She and Da Wa still have one set. However, there was still a month left. She and Da Wa still have to meticulously study it.
Da Wa was very diligent in revising the old and learning the new.
Initially, after finishing the second semester of high school this year, he wanted to go directly to the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University. But he was stopped by his father.
And it was recommended others to enter.
Da Wa was very angry and puzzled at the start. His father told him to wait. It was until the news of the college entrance examination when it dawned on him at once.
What's more, this was obviously an excellent opportunity for him. So Da Wa was currently very hardworking.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were very supportive of their grandson. They hoped that he becomes a college student and bring glory to his ancestor.
So, they urged Lin Qing He to make him stewed chicken soup to replenish his body.

A whole year in less than a chapter. Thank god!
ReplyDeleteWow soo many uodate love itttt <3

ReplyDeleteThank you for the chapter!!!
ReplyDeleteYessss(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Not only is Ling Qing He impatient. Even I, a reader, was impatient as well. Thank you author for skimming through the last year before the college entrance examinations ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Thanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the multi update!
ReplyDeletethe poorer they gets. -> remove 's' in 'gets'
Relocating the household registration was a big problem. They don't a house or a job. -> don't have a house or job.
Thanks Dorai_O! Applied changes!
DeleteWhooo, the Christmas updates are here! Thank you for your hard work! I didn't have the time to check for updates yesterday since I was sprucing up the place for my siblings in the same city to visit, so this was a nice Boxing Day surprise for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm also really glad that the author started fast-forwarding this last year before the actual university entrance exam.
God am I glad about this chapter, sure it's was only 1 year skipped but thats like 20 chapters more of this useless babble about every meal, mother Zhou being concerned when it's no of her business, and fucking.
ReplyDeleteFinally this has come, hopefully we really do move away from the countryside cuz I'm sick and tired of this backwater place.
So now it'll be mc and Da Wa in college? I guess mc will have to start greasing the correct hands there and there will be come people after her ?
So now she's 31 right? When she was supposed to elope with that other dude, but she's supposed to look like a beautiful girl in her early 20s though, they haven't made mention of her beauty recently so who knows, mc definitely didn't take care of herself as much as original owner, but the magic of plot helps I guess, getting dicked down somehow equaled meticulous self care.
I wish ML wasn't a useless braniwashed, block of wood personality, peasant but whatever.
Atm I'm more curious how the sons will end up.
And i guess what mc will do, get some good opportunities, make tons of money, dudes chasing after her, hope it's fun.
Please, please I beg you stop reading if you don't like it or at least keep your negative and inappropriate comments to yourself. PLEASE
DeleteMC's goal is never to gain tons of money holy shit can you shut the hell up about it and go crack open the drama genre, go open novelupdates and look through enter the tag 'cunning main characters'
DeleteYou complain about them fucking but yet you encourage her getting chased by other dudes. You complain that ML is weird and borderline pervy but it's fucking idiotic to hope for guys to chase after LQH, a married woman. You comments were hilarious to read a couple of times but it's actually stupid how you complain about the slice of life in a slice of life novel and how you complain about Chinese political view in a Chinese novel.
@sona, you tell them. Haha, I’ve given up reading their comments, I just wanna see if others has responded and called him out so I can feel happy. 😊

ReplyDeleteFor whoever wondering what has happened at the late '96, it's Mao Zedong' death. There was power struggle within the CCP between Deng Xiaoping and Mao's successor
ReplyDeleteThey don't a house or job. Forget about moving the household registration. (They don't have a house or a job)
