Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 185

The college entrance examination is about to resume!

Those five simple words fell on everyone's ears like a thunderbolt.

Gu Sanmei was surprised and happy at the same time: "Is it true? Brother, is this news true?"

"Yeah, the college entrance examination has been suspended for so many years. There was always news that it would be resumed, but the documents never came down." Sun Shumei was also in a daze for a while.

"In the past few years, I have heard vague news, but it is all hearsay and has no basis."

"Brother certainly won't talk nonsense. I didn't expect that there would be a day when the college entrance examination will be resumed."

The children were all playing in the yard, and those who are still in the house now, except for the twins and Gu Yungang who have just passed the high school entrance examination, now they don't need to worry about the college entrance examination, everyone else is lost in thought.

Gu Mingdong nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "The document will definitely come down after another two months."

After getting an affirmative answer, Gu Sanmei slapped the table and said, "Then you must take the exam, even if you lose your job. If we can pass the exam in a high school, let alone work, the graduation arrangement will be cadre position."

This is not her nonsense, the workers, peasants and soldiers are all cadres after further study, and the ones who get the college entrance examination can't be worse than the workers, peasants and soldiers, right?

Gu Mingxi knows that a job is hard to come by, but going to university is even more difficult. Since studying with Zheng Tong, Gu Mingxi realized that she is a frog at the bottom of a well. She has too little knowledge.

In Shanghe Village, everyone has an elementary school education, and some are even illiterate. Members who have completed junior high school are considered highly educated, but very few have completed high school, and they have never even heard of university.

But Gu Mingxi knows that the outside world is not like this, and even university is not the end.

When the chaos started back then, Gu Mingdong brought a lot of books home. These years, Gu Sanmei worked at the recycle bin, and she didn't stop studying.

After years of study, Gu Mingxi's enthusiasm for knowledge has not diminished but has increased. Although she is partial to subjects and her favorite is antique research, it does not prevent her from wanting to go to university for further study.

Like her elder sister, Gu Simei was extremely surprised and looked at her elder brother excitedly: "Brother, you told me to wait before, did you just wait for this?"

If it's the college entrance examination, no wonder the eldest brother said to wait, it's much better than going to the factory.

Gu Mingdong said with a smile: "Don't you like reading very much? If you like it, take the college entrance examination. If you pass the exam, you can go to university."

Gu Simei was full of emotion, her eyes sparkled, and she hesitated: "But, if we all go to take the college entrance examination, won't the burden on the family be too heavy?"

After saying this, everyone at the table was stunned.

The old Gu's family is living a good life now because there are two workers in the family.

But in fact, the burden on the family is also heavy. The three children of Gu Mingdong's family are about to go to high school, and the two children of Gu Mingnan's family are too young to go to school, so they can't let them go.

"Don't worry, Xiaobei. I don't like studying. It killed me when I was in junior high school." Gu Mingnan laughed and said, "Even if I take the college entrance examination, I won't pass it. You two can go if you want. Brother will help you pay your tuition."

Gu Sanmei was moved from the bottom of her heart, but she hummed, "Where do you spend your money, I must have enough."

It has been so many years, and the eldest brother has never received their filial piety except for food expenses. Gu Sanmei thinks about her small coffers and is full of confidence in the future.

Gu Mingdong explained with a smile: "I have inquired about it. Not only do students who study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University not need tuition fees, they also get living allowances, which are enough for one person to live in the university. I think that if the college entrance examination is resumed, the treatment of college students will not be better than that of workers, peasants and soldiers. Difference."

After saying this, Gu Mingbei was really relieved.

She likes reading in her heart and wants to study, but she has been studying all these years and is supported by her brothers and sisters. Now that she has grown up, she is embarrassed to still eat their food.

Compared with the Gu family sisters who decided to take the college entrance examination without hesitation, the other two couples hesitated again and again.

Qian Xiaoru touched the hair of the child in her arms subconsciously. The youngest daughter was only one year old, so she couldn't feel relieved.

Even if the university has subsidies, what should the child do? Should they be kept at home?

Furthermore, she looked at her husband beside her, she didn't want to leave Gu Mingnan either.

Sun Shumei's thinking is similar, the most important thing is that she has been away from school for too long, even if she goes to take the exam, she is really not sure that she will pass the exam.

Furthermore, now that she is a small cadre in the biscuit factory, no matter how hard she works, she can be promoted again, which is no worse than going to university.

Gu Mingdong didn't let them make a decision immediately, but said: "The trend of the times has changed. Now the country needs talents to build a new China. If you can go to university, you will be assigned to an important position after you get out."

"This group of people will seize the opportunity of the times and enter important positions in the country."

"You don't need to make a decision in a hurry, go home and discuss it carefully, and wait for the official document to come down."

Gu Sanmei said: "Don't think about it, I will definitely participate, Fourth Sister, you will also participate?"

Gu Simei nodded firmly.

"Since we know the news in advance, we can't waste it. We have to review it early, so that even if the exam papers are difficult and there are many people taking the exam, we will have more confidence."

Xie Nanshan said with a smile: "Third sister and fourth sister are very ambitious. A Dong asked me to collect a few sets of exam materials before. I will send one over when the time comes. You will definitely need it."

"Then thank you cousin-in-law." Gu Sanmei laughed.

After finishing speaking, he asked Gu Mingdong: "Brother, why are you only asking us? Don't you plan to participate?"

Gu Mingdong was taken aback for a moment, secretly thinking that he had already entered university once, and that he just wanted to lie down in peace in this life, and when the time came, he would take over the entire back mountain and grow whatever he wanted to eat, and he had no intention of going out to study at university at all.

"Yeah brother, you got good grades when you were in school, why don't you try it together?" Second brother Gu also said.

Gu Mingdong hurriedly said: "I prefer to deal with the land, so I won't join in the fun."

Gu Erdi smiled and said, "Brother, do you feel embarrassed about being old? It's okay. Some students of workers, peasants and soldiers are in their forties."

"Brother looks very young, not old at all." Gu Mingbei laughed.

Xie Xie suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Uncle Adong is not old, but my father is old. Grandma said my father is old and eats young grass."

Xie Nanshan's face turned dark, and he walked over to pick up his daughter: "Your father is shabby again, see if I don't deal with you."

The father and daughter immediately became a mess, but compared with those present, Xie Nanshan always likes to grow a beard, and it seems that he is indeed much older than Gu Mingdong.

But Gu Mingdong really does not look old. Although he has to do farm work in the production team and his skin is dark, it is not as burnt as other people, but has a good-looking wheat color.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that his skin is smooth, and there are no fine lines around his eyes, which is enviable.

Second brother Gu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I always feel that big brother has always been like this, I'm getting old, and big brother hasn't changed."

"Let's talk about the college entrance examination." Gu Mingdong hurriedly changed the topic so that they would not continue their discussion.

With supernatural powers in his body, his aging is indeed much slower than ordinary people, and he doesn't like to get sick. In fact, it's not just him, everyone in the old Gu family doesn't look old.

Gu Erdi comes and goes in the wind and rain every day, and now he looks like a young man.

That's because Gu Mingdong's carefully raised fruits and vegetables, eaten all year round, have many benefits for the human body.

It was also many years later that Gu Mingdong slowly figured it out.

Before that, Gu Mingdong only thought that the function of the supernatural power was to catalyze the growth of plants, and the vitality that absorbed the feedback from plants gradually grew, but the speed of the latter was very slow, not as fast as absorbing relics.

After a long time, Gu Mingdong realized that plants with supernatural powers can not only produce high yields, but also taste good, and eating them is also good for the human body.

It's just that this kind of benefit is very subtle, and you have to eat it every day, every day, and you can see it over time.

From top to bottom, everyone in the old Gu's family has benefited a lot. Even Gu Liangyue, who has just turned one year old, is stronger than children of the same age.

Except for the sisters of the Gu family who decided to take the college entrance examination on the spot, the two couples planned to go home and discuss it before deciding.

When they left and took the children away, the old Gu's house suddenly became much quieter.

Gu Liangxing asked curiously: "Dad, if the college entrance examination is resumed, will we be able to take it in the future?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Gu Liangxing said, "I thought it was a waste of effort to study, but I never thought I could still be admitted to university."

Gu Liangchen looked at him without words: "Brother, even if you can take the college entrance examination, it will be difficult with your grades."

Gu Liangxing waved his hand: "Don't let other people's ambition destroy your prestige, even if I can't, then there are you and Xiaoyun."

He looked at Gu Yun who had been silent all this time: "Xiao Yun's grades are so good, she will definitely be admitted to university."

Time flies, and Gu Yun is already looking like a big girl. Although she can't speak, she looks beautiful and has outstanding grades. She and Gu Liangchen always take turns being No.1.

Because she was doted on by the whole family since she was a child, and has two older brothers to take care of her, Gu Yun no longer sees the submissiveness she had when she was a child. She always has a smile on her face, and she looks much more cheerful and lively.

It's just because of her childhood experience that she doesn't like to get along with strangers, and prefers to stay with her family.

[Brother should also work hard together. 】Gu Yun gestured.

Gu Liangxing rubbed his nose: "Okay, I can work hard with you, or I'm a little worried about letting you go outside to study alone."

Gu Liangxing was very worried about what to do if she was bullied outside, taking care of her younger sister who had grown up.

Gu Liangchen rolled his eyes, turned around and asked, "Dad, where is the nearest university to our home?"

Gu Mingdong thought for a while and replied, "Daishan University in Daishan City."

Gu Liangchen was a little worried: "Daishan City, it's so far away."

"Both of you haven't started high school yet, so what are you worrying about?" Gu Mingdong felt that his sons were thinking too much, and they didn't have a single word for it. Instead, they started to worry about going to Tsinghua University or Beijing University.

On the other side, thank you, the little girl was still taken away by her parents.

The child didn't want to go back as soon as he came, he had already lived here for five days, if he didn't go back, Gu Xiuxiu would have to come and arrest him.

When I was at the old Gu's house just now, Xie Xie was very noisy, he jumped higher than Gu Liangyang, and ate more than Gu Yun.

As soon as I left the group of children, thank you for being young, I couldn't bear it anymore, and my little head lowered and lowered.

Xie Nanshan hugged his daughter, saw that her cheeks were pink and tender, chubby, like a ripe peach, juice would flow out when pinched, so he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed her.

In the end, Xie Mengzhong also disliked his own father, and slapped him away.

With a snap, Sun Shumei shook her head crisply: "Don't keep making trouble with her, you have to coax her when she cries."

Xie Nanshan said quietly: "We can't let Xie Xie live here for so long in the future. I just saw that there are a lot of brats over there. What if my daughter is tricked away?"

Sun Shumei rolled her eyes: "Comrade Xie Nanshan, your daughter is only three years old this year, and she only knows how to eat and sleep."

"Who said, my daughter is smart."

Xie Nanshan hugged the child well, and asked again: "Are you tired, why don't I ride the bike instead?"

"It's better for me to plant you two, that little fat pier is even more tiring to hold." Sun Shumei's words are not exaggerated, thank you for the little girl who grows too stocky, and her arms get tired after holding her for a while.

Xie Nanshan laughed: "I'm not tired, I'd rather hug for a lifetime."

Sun Shumei said helplessly: "You should take a break. In two days, when my daughter grows up, she should start to dislike you as a clingy father."

When Xie Nanshan heard this, he suddenly complained again.

Sun Shumei seemed to be able to see his appearance, with a smile on her lips, she suddenly asked, "Nanshan, do you want to take the college entrance examination?"

After asking this question, Sun Shumei felt a little regretful in her heart, because she knew that Xie Nanshan's family background was a bit problematic. Even if she took the college entrance examination, she might not be able to pass the political examination.

"Forget it, our family of three is fine now." Sun Shumei said hurriedly.

Xie Nanshan heard some meaning, and asked with his head: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to participate?"

Sun Shumei hesitated for a moment, but still said what was in her heart: "I don't know either."

"I'm pretty good in the biscuit factory, and my superiors value me very much. The factory manager talked to me before and said that he wanted to train me as a candidate for the deputy factory manager."

Xie Nanshan said: "Your factory director likes to paint big cakes. I don't know how many people have said this."

After finishing speaking, he quickly added a sentence: "But my wife is indeed excellent, and she should be valued by others."

Sun Shumei laughed: "No matter what he said is true or false, I will not be bad if I stay in the biscuit factory left and right, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Sun Shumei sighed: "It's just that the days are always the same."

Husband and wife for many years, Xie Nanshan understood immediately: "If you want to participate, go and participate. I will support you no matter what. Thank you and it's very worry-free. I can take care of it alone."

"When you take the exam to a school in Beijing, we, father and daughter, will go to Beijing together, and we can still live in the old house. Cleaning up is enough for our family to settle down."

Sun Shumei was a little moved when she heard this: "The horoscope has not been written yet. I haven't studied for so many years, and I'm not sure in my heart."

"My daughter-in-law is so good, as long as you want to take the exam, you will be able to pass the exam." Xie Nanshan said with a smile.

Sun Shumei was amused by him, and after a while, she said again: "Actually, I want to do my own business more than go to college."

"After all, if you went to university or went to work in a factory, the difference from now is not very big. How can you be the master of your own life?"

"Do your own business?" Xie Nanshan was a little surprised now.

Sun Shumei nodded: "It's a pity that although free trading has been relaxed a little bit, and the crackdown on buying and selling is not so strict now, private business is still strictly prohibited."

Xie Nanshan's eyes moved slightly: "Daughter-in-law, are you trying to do whatever you want?"

Sun Shumei laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, I just think it's interesting."

Xie Nanshan laughed, leaned his head on her back, and said in a coquettish tone: "Daughter-in-law, you are so kind, others look down on me, but you like me, marry me, and give birth to a baby girl for me." .”

"Nanshan, no matter what other people say, I know you are talented, ambitious, and ambitious." Not every person with a bad family background and the death of both parents can live a good life.

"Others don't know how good you are, but I do."

It was only after Sun Shumei got married that she realized how strong Xie Nanshan's family was. This guy usually doesn't show off his mountains and dews, but he is actually full of confidence.

If you really want to say it, she is still a high climber.

Xie Nanshan's heart was warm. After his parents passed away one after another, he only felt that the sky was dark and he was alone no matter where he went.

But God blessed him to meet the person who understands him best in this life in this remote place.

If it wasn't for holding his precious daughter in his hands, Xie Nanshan would have jumped out of the car, rushed forward and kissed the two daughters-in-law hard.

He restrained this dangerous thought, and planned to go home and kiss slowly, but he said: "Daughter-in-law, if you really think so, maybe we can wait a little longer."

Sun Shumei asked strangely: "What are you waiting for? Is it possible that the country can still let go of private transactions?"

Xie Nanshan laughed: "The college entrance examination is about to resume, everything is possible."

Sun Shumei stopped the car and looked back at him: "Are you serious?"

"Daughter-in-law, please slow down, be careful not to drop the child." Xie Nanshan hurriedly said.

Sun Shumei stared at him: "Did you have some gossip again? Hmph, I haven't settled the matter with you about the college entrance examination yet. If you have any news, don't tell me. Instead, tell my cousin first."

"I said Xie Nanshan, am I your daughter-in-law, or is my cousin your daughter-in-law? Why do I think you two are keeping some secret from me?"

"Daughter-in-law, you have wronged me. I have respect for A Dong, and I have admiration for you."

Xie Nanshan begged for mercy as soon as his wife turned over the old account: "It's not my fault, Adong didn't know where to find out about the Taoism, let me go to Beijing to find out the news, he was the first to know, you know too He always likes to find out more clearly, he is your cousin, what can I do, I must not listen to him."

The black pot was thrown away quickly.

Sun Shumei snorted coldly: "What about letting go of the business?"

Xie Nanshan laughed: "It's just a little gossip. It's not sure yet. I have to inquire again."

As soon as Sun Shumei heard it, she knew that she must be sure, and she couldn't help but float her mind.

At Gu's second brother's house, Gu Mingnan coaxed the eldest and second child to sleep, then tiptoed back to the house, and hugged his daughter-in-law in an attempt to enhance their relationship.

Qian Xiaoru cursed with a smile, and hid in his arms.

After a hearty meal, Gu Mingnan put his arms around his wife, kissed her on the cheek with a smile, and asked, "Xiaoru, do you want to go to university too?"

Qian Xiaoru felt a little uncomfortable, turned around and hugged his arm: "I don't, I'm already so old, wouldn't it be a joke to take the college entrance examination again."

Gu Mingnan said: "What a joke, who dares to laugh, and no one stipulates that only children can take the college entrance examination."

"Don't worry, whoever dares to laugh at you at that time, I will come to the door and knock out his big teeth."

"What are you talking about, you don't look like a father all day long." Even so, she was also happy in her heart, knowing that Gu Mingnan was very protective of herself.

It's like she never went to the ground after she got married, Gu Mingnan washed the diapers during confinement, and the two of them took care of the child behind the head, and the gossips in the production team talked a lot.

If Gu Mingnan heard it, he would have to go back and forth in person. After going back and forth several times, no one dared to speak in front of them again.

Qian Xiaoru said again: "I am the mother of two children, Xiaoyue is still so young, what should I do if I want to go to her?"

"Xiaoyue is weaned, so I can't take care of her?" Gu Mingnan said.

Qian Xiaoru saw that he kept urging herself, so she slapped him angrily: "I'm going to take the college entrance examination, and the nearest school is in Daishan City, so we can't live in two places by then, so why don't you give up on me?"

She is not willing to leave her husband, in fact, it is quite good now, the four of them are together every day, there is no shortage of food and clothing.

Gu Mingnan grabbed her fist and kissed her, and said with a smile: "I don't want to part with it, but my daughter-in-law can take the exam if she wants, it doesn't matter no matter how far away, I will take Ayang Xiaoyue to see you when the time comes."

"Don't forget, your man is a member of the transportation team, he can go anywhere, if not, I begged the main factory to transfer me, they have already wanted to transfer me there."

Gu Mingnan is very confident in this point. His car repair skills have become more and more excellent in the past few years. If he hadn't stayed firmly in Xiyuan Town, he would have been unable to keep him here.

Now that his daughter-in-law is thinking, Gu Mingnan finally plans to make a move.

After being told by him, Qian Xiaoru's heart moved again.

She has a simple personality, and she has the temperament of not fighting or rushing to work in a muffled voice. She is not as good as Sun Shumei. After so many years in the factory, her working years have gradually increased, but she has not even become a group leader.

Seeing Gu Mingnan being promoted again and again, being praised by his superiors, receiving honors and rewards, he himself has been calm and calm, and occasionally Qian Xiaoru has a little low self-esteem.

Especially the people from the old Gu's family are very outstanding. Gu Sanmei is in the recycling bin, and she also got excellent employees.

Gu Simei is always number one in school, as are Gu Liangchen and Gu Yun. Even Gu Liangxing, who loves to be mischievous, has won the award for bravery before.

Gu Mingdong has always been in the countryside, but his farming skills are top-notch, even Beijing has praised him, and he has been awarded as an advanced individual for several years in a row.

In contrast, Qian Xiaoru felt like an ugly duckling living among swans. Although they didn't dislike her, she also wanted to become more powerful.

If you can go to university, how can you become a cadre when you graduate from university?

Qian Xiaoru had a plan, and said with a smile: "Then I'll try, if you fail the exam, you are not allowed to laugh at me."

"If you fail the exam, you can continue to take the exam. If you fail the exam in one year, you will get two years. If you fail the exam in two years, you will get three years. If you fail the exam all the time, you can take the exam with your son and daughter in the future." Gu Mingnan comforted.

This consolation is better than no consolation, Qian Xiaoru was so angry that he grabbed and knocked him to relieve his anger.

With an idea, Qian Xiaoru found the Gu family sisters the next day and studied with them.

News of the resumption of the college entrance examination was surging. In October of that year, the country officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination.

This exciting good news quickly ignited the whole of China at the speed of a single spark.
