Wang Meng pushed the bicycle and carried it to Jiang Xiaobai and saluted.

"Okay, don't send her off, go back. It's not like we're not going back, or we're going to take the exam, and we'll be back after the exam."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Secretary Huang Zhongfu and others waving and said.

"Go ahead, take the exams hard, try to pass them all, and become a college student." Secretary Huang Zhongfu also waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Don't be too stressed. If it doesn't work out, you will always have something to eat when you come back to Jianhua Village."

"Okay, thank you secretary, let's go." Jiang Xiaobai waved and turned around to set off with 14 educated youths.

Although Wang Meng was not going to take the college entrance examination, he pushed his bicycle and carried their luggage to the town for Jiang Xiaobai and others.

There were so many people, so Jiang Xiaobai didn't get any special treatment and walked with the others.

Li Siyan was just about to approach Jiang Xiaobai to say a few words when he saw Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun approaching.

"Brother Xiaobai, how are you studying? How confident do you think we are that we can be admitted to college." Liu Aiguo looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked.

"Yes, Brother Xiaobai, do you think we have high hopes?" Wang Xiaojun was also a little nervous.

"I think there's a lot of hope,"

"However, I read in the newspaper that the first batch of candidates to apply for the exam this year alone is 5.1 million, 5.1 million people. It far exceeds the enrollment plan."

Liu Aiguo said that he read this news in the newspaper two days ago. From the time he got the news about the college entrance examination, every time Wang Meng and others came from town, they would bring some newspapers back.

"That was still the first batch. It is estimated that it should have exceeded 6 million now. It is said that the total enrollment nationwide is only more than 200,000 and less than 300,000."

"With 6 million registrations and an enrollment of over 200,000, almost one out of 30 people can be admitted to university. We have 14 educated youths in Jianhua Village, but we don't know how many of them can be admitted to university."

Liu Aiguo has been getting more and more discouraged the more he reads the newspapers recently, and his mood is very low.

"That's right. If you don't get into college, you have to find a way to go back to the city. Even if you go back to the city, you won't have a job. My eldest brother will definitely take over the old man's job."

Wang Xiaojun also couldn't build up his confidence. The more he knew, the more disappointed he became.

Just like the gap between the country and the world at this time, some people later said that if they had known from the beginning that the gap between themselves and the world was so big, they would not have had the courage to catch up.

At this time, foreign countries already had electric lights and telephones, upstairs and downstairs.

At this time in our country, we have only seen TV sets in newspapers, and many rural areas have no idea what TV dramas are.

The only entertainment activity is that in the summer, the county organizes people to come to the village to show several revolutionary movies.

At this time, it is really the most lively time in the countryside. All adults and children carry small stools and wait to watch movies.

"Okay, don't be discouraged. There hasn't been a college entrance examination for ten years. People from so many classes have been pressed together to take the college entrance examination. It's strange that there are so few people applying. Although it is said that more than 200,000 people are recruited, if everyone has good grades,

The higher authorities will also consider it.”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, if he remembered correctly, it seems that the number of students enrolled in the college entrance examination was expanded later.

But he couldn't remember exactly how much the enrollment was expanded, but it was definitely expanded.

"Brother Xiaobai, what do you mean?" Wang Xiaojun somewhat guessed what Jiang Xiaobai meant.

"I mean, what I mean is decided by the higher ups. Do you think I can count on it? If I say it can be counted on, I will be the first to let you go to college.

We can only take the exam well now. Although the time we reviewed before was not long, it is not short in this province. In addition, if we review the materials and take the exam well, there may not be no hope..."

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Wang Xiaojun with a dark face. This guy is really smart. I mean, I really want to expand the recruitment. I will be the first to recruit myself.

After being scolded a few times by Jiang Xiaobai, Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo relaxed a lot. The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, and soon arrived in the countryside.

Today's Shangma Township is particularly lively. Not only the educated youth from Jianhua Village, but also many educated youth from other townships are here.

The college entrance examination is an opportunity for future generations of candidates to change their destiny and background, not to mention for today's educated youth.

After passing the exam, I returned to the city to go to university. After graduating from university, I became a cadre, had an urban household registration, and had food supplies...

It should be said that I have everything I want. Once I am admitted to college, my life will change immediately.

If you fail to get into college, you may continue to be an educated youth in the countryside, or even marry and have children, but will never be able to live in the city.

It's similar to the kind in later generations. If you win the young model in the club, if you lose, you will work in the sea. It's not an exaggeration at all, it's even more exaggerated than that.

The faces of young people were either excited, worried, anxious, or excited. Educated youths, high school graduates, and other people who qualified for the college entrance examination from several villages were gathered in Shangma Township.

The oldest people who can take the college entrance examination are no more than 30 years old. They are called young people for now because they still have a future.

Seeing so many people, Jiang Xiaobai was worried about the next journey. I don't know how crowded this bus will be, and the road will be bumpy again...

Sure enough, the bus came slowly and slowly. Jiang Xiaobai took Li Siyan's arm beside him and hurriedly squeezed into the bus.

It's noon when I take this bus to the county town. I have to go to the city. Once I get to the city, I need to go to the examination room. Time is very tight.

"Hurry up, get in the car." Jiang Xiaobai shouted to Liu Aiguo and the others, then pulled Li Siyan and squeezed in with his head covered.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I dropped my luggage."

"Stop squeezing. Who stepped on my shoes? Hey, stop squeezing."

"..." Everyone shouted loudly not to squeeze, but they squeezed harder than anyone else.

The ticket sales lady who used to be majestic in the past could only huddle in a corner and curse.

"This group of young men, who usually look Wenwen and quiet, didn't expect that they would be very vigorous at this time. They must be young and strong, unlike my own men, who are getting older and their kidneys are not good..."

At this time, there was no need to think about the seat. It would be nice to be able to stand. People were next to each other and crowded. Jiang Xiaobai held Li Siyan tightly in his arms.

Before the crackdown, social security was still very chaotic. Of course, the culprit was the group of educated youth who returned to the city.

Li Siyan stayed in Jiang Xiaobai's arms honestly, his face a little red. Of course, he couldn't be dishonest. The whole bus was so crowded that it was difficult to even turn around.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai felt as if he had returned to his previous life, squeezing buses and subways.
