Chapter 1181: College Entrance Examination Resumed (2)
After the three of them listened to the entire broadcast, they took out their notes and checked them to make sure they were correct.
"Xiaoxue, it's confirmed. As long as you have a junior high or high school diploma, are under 25 years old, and are unmarried.
If you have extensive practical experience, the age limit is relaxed to 30 years old, regardless of marital status.
All can sign up for the college entrance examination." Zhou Mingxuan said, looking at his notes.
Zhao Junhao affirmed, "The three of us definitely meet the registration requirements."
Liu Jingxue nodded, "What I just heard is that economics has been classified as a liberal arts subject, so you will have to take history and geography exams.
The pharmaceutical major is a science subject, so I have to take exams in physics and chemistry.
Then you don’t need to review physics and chemistry, and I don’t need to review history and geography.”
"That's what I heard," Zhou Mingxuan confirmed.
Zhao Junhao raised his hand, "Me too."
Listening to the radio broadcasting the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, Liu Jingxue reminded,
"Brother Zhao and I will listen to it again. Brother Mingxuan, you should quickly make a phone call and tell the captain that the college entrance examination has been resumed. Ask him to listen to the radio and notify everyone.
The production team had a public radio, and I was the one who got the tickets for them.
Let him broadcast it to the whole village."
Zhao Junhao quickly agreed after hearing this, "Yes, Xiaoxue is right, we need to tell the captain.
It's the end of March now and people don't go out much.
If we don't inform them, they will hear the news from other places later, which will delay them for a long time."
Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "Then I'll call the captain now.
At this time, the brigade's operator should be there.
We told them before that the college entrance examination might be resumed, but I don’t know if they took it seriously.
After all, five months have passed since we notified them.
There has been no news for five months, and I don’t know if they will take it seriously.”
Zhou Mingxuan went out to call the Red Star Production Team. Liu Jingxue and Zhao Junhao listened to the notice again.
After calling the Red Star Production Team and answering the call, I learned from the operator that the team leader was in his office next door.
After all, at this time, the production team's farm had already resumed breeding for some time.
Because the phone bill was too expensive, Zhou Mingxuan only told the team leader the news that the college entrance examination had been resumed, and told him which channel to tune to on the radio. After broadcasting it simultaneously to the entire village, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, the captain stood there holding the microphone, unable to move for a long time.
It was the operator who woke him up. "Captain, what did Zhou Zhiqing say to you that made you stand there for so long?"
"I seemed to hear Zhou Zhiqing asking you to do something just now. He said it was extremely urgent, but you were in no hurry to do it."
After being reminded by the operator, the captain woke up as if from a dream, muttering to himself, "The college entrance examination has been resumed."
“The college entrance examination has been resumed.”
“The college entrance examination has really been restored.”
The sound went from being barely audible at first to being deafening at last.
The captain ran out shouting.
"What, the college entrance examination has been resumed.
Zhou Zhiqing called just now and told me that the college entrance examination has been resumed." The operator was surprised.
Thinking about the number of recommendation places the production team had obtained for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the past two years, the young people who had attended school in the production team competed with the educated youth for them.
There are also many people saying that it would be great if the college entrance examination could be restored, then more people would have the opportunity to go to college and change their destiny.
Thinking of what might happen next, the operator looked like he was looking forward to a good show.
"I'm afraid the production team will be busy now."
The captain strode to his office, intending to look for the radio that had not been used for a long time.
They really liked this radio when they first bought it.
But after a few years, the novelty of the initial experience has long been lost. Plus, the batteries are expensive, so it has been gathering dust and has not been used much.
The captain took out the radio from the drawer and installed the batteries.
"I hope the battery still has power." The captain couldn't help but pray.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. After installing the battery and turning on the radio, a sound of electric current came from the radio.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there is still electricity."
After tuning the radio to the channel Zhou Mingxuan mentioned, a notification about the resumption of the college entrance examination was played.
"It has been restored. The college entrance examination has really been restored!"
Ever since he learned from Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao that the college entrance examination might be resumed, the team leader informed the tight-lipped villagers in the team who have children who have attended school.
But there was no news for several months, and the captain began to doubt the news.
But he thought that it was winter anyway, and those young people had nothing to do at home, so it was better for them to study than to make trouble.
Now, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination has finally been confirmed.
Suddenly he slapped himself and said, "What am I doing here? Zhou Zhiqing told me to broadcast this news to the whole village.
I don't know how much power this battery has.
I'm wasting electricity here. What if I run out of power in the middle of a broadcast?"
Soon, sound came from the Red Star Production Team's long-unused radio.
After the team leader said a few simple words to convey the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, he broadcast the notice of the resumption of the college entrance examination on the radio.
The Red Star Production Team was in an uproar.
Whether it was people who had received the news in advance and were secretly reviewing, or people who had not received the news in advance and just found out about it on the radio, everyone was excited.
At Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's home, Zhou Wenbing was standing in the yard, wearing his clothes, listening to the radio.
As he listened, tears began to flow.
"It has been restored. The college entrance examination has really been restored. Mingxuan and Junhao did not lie to me."
These two people have helped him a lot over the past few years.
They took him to sell vegetables and poultry, which earned him a lot of money and allowed him to send more money and food home, making life at home much better and giving his mother money for medical treatment and medicine.
Now they told him the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in advance, and let him live in their own home and study with peace of mind.
Although they asked him to take care of the house, they couldn't just entrust their trust to others.
Didn’t they ask some villagers to help look after the house when they were away for a few months last year?
Those two people were obviously looking after him secretly.
"I have studied for five months longer than others. I must pass the college entrance examination this time.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame for Mingxuan and Junhao to take a big risk and reveal the news to me in advance. ", Zhou Wenbing secretly vowed to study hard and get into university in one fell swoop.
"Jianmin has been in college for two years. He said that if you go to college now, not only will you not have to pay tuition, but you will also receive a subsidy every month.
If your older brother or sister has already started working, they can help.
My mother's illness was cured by the medicine given by educated youth Liu Jingxue over the years. She can now make paper boxes to supplement the family income.
If I go to college, live frugally, and send part of the subsidy back home, my family should be fine.
As long as I stick with it for four years, when I graduate from university and get assigned to a good unit, our family will be able to turn things around." Zhou Wenbing planned.
Thinking of Feng Chunyan, Zhou Wenbing's eyes darkened, "I just don't know if Chunyan will change her mind after the college entrance examination is resumed.
After all, there are many gay men in college who have better family backgrounds and are more outstanding than me. "
But he couldn't hide the news that the college entrance examination might be resumed from her.
“Forget it, let everything take its course.
If she doesn't change her mind, I will definitely treat her wholeheartedly in the future.
But if she changes her mind, it's not her fault.
After all, she knows my family situation well, and she is taking a lot of risks by being willing to date me. "
