October 21, 1977, 6:10 pm.

"Dear comrades, comrades, the majority of comrades, the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on the Enrollment of Higher Education Students in 1977" stipulates that all workers, farmers, educated youth, demobilized soldiers, cadres and fresh graduates, as long as they meet the conditions,

Anyone can apply... The specific enrollment methods are: voluntary registration, unified examination, prefecture and city primary selection, school admission, and approval by provinces and municipalities..."

This is the first college entrance examination after its cancellation ten years ago.

Coastal area of ​​eastern Zhejiang, Wenhuang Plain.

Chenjia Village, Chenjia Brigade, Chencai Commune, Wenlin County.

Seventeen-year-old Chen Yang squatted on the threshold of his main room, listening to the radio and drinking porridge from his rice bowl.

The father came out of the house, also holding a rice bowl. He also squatted on the threshold and placed half a sweet potato bun in his son's bowl.

"Dad, that's enough for me." Chen Yang used chopsticks to put half of the steamed bun back into his father's bowl.

"You can eat when I tell you to." The father glared at his son, then put half of the steamed bun into his son's bowl.

Chen Yang groaned and quickly ate half of the steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge.

My father also finished eating, put down his rice bowl and chopsticks, took off the cloth shoe on his right foot, and took out a few banknotes from the shoe.

One piece is worth one dollar, one piece is worth five cents, two pieces are worth two cents, and two pieces are worth one dime.

There are also five and a half kilograms of food stamps from Zhejiang Province.

"The family's money is all here. You can take it all. You don't have to work in the production team for these two months."

Chen Yang did not reach out to take the money, "Dad, do you support me taking the college entrance examination?"

"Nonsense." My father said, "You are good at studying and there will be no problem in passing the exam. Dad can't delay you."

Chen Yang smiled, "Dad, you need to review for the college entrance examination. However, the books I read in high school are almost used up by you and grandpa as cigarette paper."

My father also laughed and said, "You have many friends and you have classmates in the county. You can find your own way there."

Chen Yang only took eight cents and two and a half kilograms of food stamps, and went to the county town overnight to find his classmates...

There are too many people applying for the college entrance examination this time. Before the official college entrance examination, there is a preliminary examination organized by each county.

Chen Yang stayed at a classmate's house to study.

On November 6, Chen Yang participated in the preliminary examination organized by the county.

The three subjects in the preliminary examination are Chinese, mathematics and politics, with a total score of 300.

Chinese language in the morning, mathematics and politics in the afternoon, completed in one day.

In order not to delay the work of the production team, Chen Yang did not eat dinner and rushed home overnight.

When he was in high school, Chen Yang had very good grades.

The original class teacher asked Chen Yang to go home and wait for news. According to his estimate, Chen Yang's preliminary test score was at least 200 points.

Chen Yang is also very confident that entering the re-examination is the official college entrance examination without any problems.

After all, he is a fresh graduate. With more than 5,000 people in the county taking the preliminary examination, Chen Yang will definitely be among the top 2,000.

However, a week has passed and Chen Yang has not received the notice to take the re-examination.

On November 16, Chen Yang couldn't hold it in any longer and ran to the county to inquire about the news.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Yang returned home.

The father is waiting for his son at the door.

"Dad, I'm back."

The father looked at his listless son and asked, "How many points did you get on the test?"

"Two hundred and twenty-three and a half."

"Okay, okay, I passed the exam."

Chen Yang squatted on the threshold and said nothing.

"Son, why are you unhappy after passing the exam?"

"Yes, but it was brushed off."

My father was stunned for a moment, "Why, can't you pass the political review?"

Chen Yang nodded, but immediately shook his head, "Dad, you should know why I was removed."
Chapter completed!
