By the standards of the 1980s, Westborough Middle School is already considered good.

Although most school buildings are still composed of bungalows, there are three-story buildings, playgrounds, dormitories, and libraries. In most township middle schools, these three are often replaced by dirt, old houses and book corners.

Even Nanhu No. 1 Middle School or Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School, the bungalows were not completely replaced. In the Hedong area, the last bungalows of No. 1 Middle School did not disappear until 2000. Of course, by the end of the 1990s, the bungalows had become good things to show off their area.

With Xia Mingyu's company, Xiao Ren looked around and around, and visited the school all over, but his eyes drifted.

"How is it? I think it's OK. It's similar to Pingjiang's No. 5 Middle School and 10 Middle School, and the area is even larger." Xia Mingyu walked through many schools during his internship. At this time, he looked at Xibao Middle School and said, "The best thing they have is scholarships, and the Hongrui class can invite some teachers to teach, which is a broadening of horizons for students... Do you like it?"

Xiao Ren was silent for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet."

Xia Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be ready to come to Xibao Middle School."

Before Xiao Ren could speak, Xia Mingyu continued to explain: "Xibao Middle School has been upgraded to a municipal-managed middle school, and the teacher's files have also been included in the Nanhu Municipal Personnel Bureau. Although they are not as good as Pingjiang's schools, they have solved housing. The British company also gave teachers a job allowance, which is 20 yuan per month, which is not worse than that of Pingjiang's schools. In addition, I want to learn the educational methods of Xibao Middle School."

In the era of planned economy, although the wages of people from all over the country are similar, there are actually some differences.

For example, in the famous third-tier and minor-tier projects, many state-owned enterprises have been moved to the mountains in the mainland. In order to balance the emotions of employees and their families, these state-owned enterprises will pay an extra fee for entry. Depending on the different ministries and commissions, the fee for entry is as little as 5 yuan and as much as more than 20 yuan. In terms of proportion, it is equivalent to a 10% to 50% increase in salary.

In the education system, teachers' treatment seems to be the same, but in fact they are different. The same is the same state salary, and the difference is the bonus treatment. Generally speaking, the capital's salary is more than that of provincial capital cities, more than that of prefecture-level cities, and more than that of prefecture-level cities, and more than that of county and townships. In the 1980s, schools established by large state-owned enterprises were often better than those of municipal and provincial schools, and the benefits of municipal and provincial schools were better than those of affiliated schools of small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises...

Xibao Middle School was upgraded from a school under Xibao Town to a school under Nanhu City, which greatly improved its value in the entire system. Although the place is still a township middle school, its status has been greatly improved. It is like Xibao Meat Union Factory, which is not local.

Xiao Ren nodded slowly and said, "You are a college student, and there are people who are rushing to ask for it wherever you go."

"I don't like to hear you say that. Are you planning to take the college entrance exam? After graduation, let's work together." Xia Mingyu's eyes shined. He was an idealist. Until now, he had not experienced too much setbacks. Naturally, he felt that the world was so beautiful that he could always achieve everything he wanted.

Xiao Ren was a little afraid of setbacks. The boiling blood created by the report gradually cooled down. The more Xiao Ren thought about it, the more timid he became.

Standing down the three-story building that has just been completed and has not yet been put into use, Xiao Ren sighed and said, "I don't know if I can pass the exam."

"I'll help you review. Besides, the admission rate of Xibao Middle School last year was very high. We just repeat the exam at Xibao Middle School, why can't we pass the exam?" Xia Mingyu was quite excited and said, "You have good grades before, so what's there to be afraid of. No matter what, sign up first."

"I'll think about it again."

"What else do you think? Don't you go to college? Are you all lies?" Xia Mingyu shouted a little loudly. There was no doubt that he liked the girl in front of him, but if Xiao Ren could not get into college, his family would not agree to establish a relationship between the two.

And convincing the family is a difficult task.

On the other hand, Xia Mingyu does hope that Xiao Ren can go to college.

Xiao Ren glanced at Xia Mingyu with a complicated expression and said, "I want to think about it again."

After saying that, Xiao Ren pushed Xia Mingyu away and walked down the mountain on his own.

Xia Mingyu gritted his teeth and followed.

Learning from Xibao Middle School to Xibao Town is a downhill journey. Xiao Ren half-walks and half-runs. In a short while, it took Xia Mingyu several hundred meters away.

When he arrived in the town, Xia Mingyu could no longer see Xiao Ren.

Xiao Ren ran all the way and arrived at the town guesthouse. He hugged his legs and squatted down, falling into a trance.

Chunhelou's leader did not agree to Xiaoren's application for on-the-job study, and the petition she sent to the leaders of the Business Bureau was also speechless.

This means that if Xiao Ren wants to take the college entrance examination, he can only review during the breaks of work.

Nowadays, people always work for six or one-year hours. When they are busy, they have to work for half a day on Sunday. Although many educated youths worked while studying at the beginning of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the difficulty of the college entrance examination changed first after six or seven years of development. Students who have started to receive professional training since junior high school began to flock to the examination room, and those students who rely on their old foundation to conquer the world naturally retreated step by step.

The college entrance examination is a competitive exam. If everyone does not spend time studying, students who work a little bit can get good grades. However, when everyone spends a lot of time reviewing, students who spend less time will suffer.

When the college entrance examination was resumed, many places acquiesced to the free review of educated youth. Moreover, the first college entrance examination was very hurrying, and everyone had limited time, so it didn’t matter if they invested in time.

In 1984, it is naturally a very low probability that you want to spend your spare time studying the college entrance examination and become one percent winner.

Xiao Ren has been away from school for more than a year. She is now taking the college entrance examination and is lagging behind others. If she has less time to review, it is equivalent to in vain.

The best way is to ignore the leader, give up work, and spend all your time on reviewing.

In these years, there were many students who gave up their jobs as state-owned enterprises and even civil servants and turned to the college entrance examination.

However, there are always a few people who are gambled, and everyone has different backgrounds and considerations.

As a girl who finally got out of the farming school, Xiao Ren really couldn't show the courage to give up such a "good job" and pursue the "illusory" university.

"Maybe it's just a dream." Xiao Ren curled up, his sensitive mind becoming more sentimental.

It was getting late.

When the red sunset sets, Xibao Town gradually falls into darkness.

The lights are still on, only a few restaurants and convenience stores in the town, as well as the only guesthouse.

Xiao Ren sat in the corner of the wall, suddenly unaware of it.

"Xiao Ren!"

"Ren Min'er..."

"Xiao Ren!"

"Min'er!"

The sound of staggering heights and lows sounded on the streets of the town at some point.

"Dad?" Xiao Ren shivered and suddenly stood up, but almost fell down because of numbness in his legs.

Holding the wall and resting for a while, Xiao Ren jogged to the street and saw his father and some people scattering, searching for him.

"Dad!" Xiao Ren shouted.

"Min'er?" A thin old man jumped up like a rabbit, turned around in the air, rolled up his clothes neatly, and ran over.

"Dad, why are you here?" Xiao Ren couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?" The thin old man was panicked and was at a loss when he arrived in front of Ren Min'er.

Ren Min'er shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I'm sitting there and falling asleep. I just heard you call me."

"It's okay?" Ren's father looked up and down at Ren Min'er's clothes. Seeing that although she had gotten dirty, she was still neat, she felt relieved. She stomped her feet and cursed: "You can fall asleep even when you sit on the street. Why don't you sleep on the street?"

"Dad..." Ren Min'er felt embarrassed by the increasing number of people watching, and pulled her father out.

Ren's father thanked the people around him first, and then came over and cursed: "I thought you were kidnapped by someone, so I couldn't do it anymore..."

"Dad, why are you here?" Ren Min'er interrupted her father.

Ren's father's aura suddenly shrank, waited for a while, put his hands in his sleeve, looked at the corner of the wall, and said, "I heard you are here to sign up, come and have a look."

Ren Min'er felt sad and almost burst into tears.

After a long time, Ren Min'er said tremblingly: "I'm here to check it out, don't sign up."

"Xiao Ren!" Xia Mingyu was anxious.

Ren Min'er shook her head and said, "I'm here to take a look."

"Xiao Ren, you are so smart, your previous grades are good. Even if you can't get into the undergraduate program, there is still hope for college. Look up at the west side. Many students who have been admitted to college are not as good as you. Believe me..."

"I said, I won't take the exam." Ren Min'er turned her head, lowered her head sadly, grabbed her father's sleeve, and whispered: "Dad, let's go back."

Ren's father moved for a moment, stopped again, turned around and asked, "Xiaoxia, what you said is true. Can our Min'er be admitted to a junior college?"

"Yes!" Xia Mingyu said decisively.

"Dad..." Ren Min'er really didn't want to listen.

"Don't talk, I think about it." Ren's father stopped Ren Min'er, squatted down on the spot, put his hands back into his sleeves again, and looked at the ground with his eyes, and said nothing.

He squatted for more than ten minutes.

Seeing that the people who were not busy watching had dispersed, Xia Mingyu was at a loss. Only Ren Min'er looked up at the sky, her mind was full of random thoughts.

"Min'er, do you want to take the exam?" Ren's thin father stood up, his voice dry and hoarse.

Ren Min'er thought for a moment, and slowly said, "Dad, I don't want to."

"Why?"

"I have to work." Ren Min'er lowered her head.

"You've been working for more than a year."

"kindness."

"I have saved up all the money you send to your house every month." Ren's father used his feet to pull the lumps of soil on the ground twice, sighed, and said, "I have brought all the money except for the ones you use to go to school for your brother."

Just when Ren Min'er was stunned, Ren's father's hand came out of his sleeve and stuffed the small cloth bag with body temperature into her hand, saying, "Your mother said she wanted to buy cows, I don't think it's necessary. I'm not old yet, and my body is very strong. What kind of cows are there? There are only a few acres of land at home. I don't need cows, so I will plow myself... You can take this money to study."

Then, Ren's father patted his chest hard, making the thin chest cavity make a hollow sound.

Ren Min'er covered her mouth, tears fell along her fingers, and she fell into pieces.
