Chapter 224 Preparing for the Exam
Shen Xiaoxia looked at Zhao Lingling's angry look and said with a smile, "Zhu Xin, stop teasing her."
Then he comforted Zhao Lingling, "Lingling, don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam. We will all pass the exam."
Zhao Lingling snorted and gave up.
At dinner time, everyone gathered together with their bowls, eating and chatting.
Zhao Lingling swallowed the rice in her mouth, looked at everyone, and asked, "Hey, when is the exam? What will the exam cover?"
As for the exam time, the news has not been announced yet, so everyone can only wait for the news.
Shen Xiaoxia thought, if she remembered correctly, the exam should be in December.
As for when the exam time was announced, she didn't know.
He Tingyuan had asked Zhao Lingling the same question the moment he heard the news. "The exam date hasn't been confirmed yet. The content will likely be Chinese, math, politics, physics, and chemistry... And I heard that students in the arts and sciences will also have to take history and geography, and physics and chemistry, respectively."
Han Zhuxin also knew the exam date. She looked at everyone and said, "No matter when the exam is, we have to prepare now, and we have to prepare carefully. Who knows, we might get a notice in a few days saying the exam will be in a month."
This instantly aroused everyone's sense of urgency. Xie Yunheng couldn't help but respond, "It can't be that fast, right? At least give us some time to prepare."
Han Zhu wanted everyone to take it seriously, since it was only a few months away, so he added, "The college entrance examination is used to select talents. Those who are serious about it may have been preparing for it all along!
If you think that cramming is enough, how many people can get into college? Are there so many schools for people to get into?
Seeing that everyone looked serious, Shen Xiaoxia also said, "I think Zhu Xin is right. Think about it, what about the people who have accumulated over the past ten years?
In addition to us educated youth, there were also workers from all over the country and young people from various places, many of whom took the college entrance examination.
There must be quite a lot of people, and I don’t think too many people will be admitted through this college entrance examination. The competition is still very fierce.”
After Shen Xiaoxia finished speaking, everyone's expressions became more serious. He Tingyuan looked around at everyone and finally concluded, "Don't worry! Since we've decided to take the exam, we can't just take it blindly. Let's prepare the study materials first, and then discuss the review plan."
Han Zhu thought to himself, "I secretly saved a few high school textbooks. Although they are not complete, they are better than nothing. Let's put them together and see what subjects are still missing."
This is half true and half false. Her textbooks are actually complete. She has been preparing for the college entrance examination in recent years, but if she takes out all of them, she will have no way to explain it.
Shen Xiaoxia also said, "I have some books here too. I brought them with me when I went to the countryside before. I wanted to use them to kill time when I'm not busy. Now they can just make up the number."
Her books were all produced by the system, and there were also a lot of review materials and test papers. The test papers could not be taken out, so she had to see if she could find a time to take out some of the review materials.
While Shen Xiaoxia was lost in thought, He Tingyuan spoke up, "I'll ask my friends if I can get some review materials and test papers."
Compared to others, he has the widest channels.
Everyone must have listened to what Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin said that day. Since then, this group of people worked during the day and went home to study by lamplight at night. If they didn't understand something, they would help each other solve the problem.
Compared to them, the group of people in the front yard worked harder. Sometimes, before dawn, you could see people reading and reciting in the yard. After work, no one cared about eating and buried themselves in books. Even during the lunch break, you could see many people holding books in their hands.
In this atmosphere, Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin were fine. Zhao Lingling, Zhao Fan, and He Tingyuan were deeply influenced, and they also worked harder and more positively.
In mid-October, the exam time reached everyone's ears.
The State Council approved the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on the 1977 College Admissions Work", officially restoring the unified college entrance examination system and stipulating that the college entrance examination would be held in December that year.
The December exam is only about two months away, and the learning atmosphere in the Youth League Institute has become even more tense.
While studying, Shen Xiaoxia was always thinking about Jiang Yan. She didn't know if he had heard the news or what his plans were.
Jiang Yan was traveling outside and had no specific place to stay, so she couldn't send him a telegram or call him to ask about his situation.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan rushed back on October 20th.
At that time, Shen Xiaoxia was eating at the door with a bowl in hand. When she saw Jiang Yan coming in, she immediately stood up, "Jiang Yan...!"
It was dinner time, and several people in the backyard were eating at their respective doorsteps. Jiang Yan greeted the others and was then led into the room by Shen Xiaoxia.
Shen Xiaoxia glanced at Jiang Yan, her eyes full of concern, "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Yan put the package he was carrying on the table and replied, "The family has prepared it. I came to see you and will go back to eat later. You can continue eating, otherwise the food will get cold."
Shen Xiaoxia was already used to the fact that Jiang Yan always brought a bunch of things for her every time he came back. She glanced at the package on the table, but was not too curious and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.
Jiang Yan sat down on the chair and continued, "Xia Xia, I won't be going to work anymore. I've applied for unpaid leave. I want to prepare for the college entrance exam first."
Shen Xiaoxia's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Really? That's great!"
She was originally thinking about how to persuade Jiang Yan to take the college entrance examination. After all, his current job can be considered a stable job. She was afraid that Jiang Yan would be unwilling to give up his job and take the college entrance examination suddenly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan had made the decision himself.
Jiang Yan was originally worried that Shen Xiaoxia would blame him for giving up the job opportunity. After all, after he went home and told his family about this, they were worried that even though he had applied for unpaid leave, what would happen if something unexpected happened and his job was replaced by someone else?
But seeing Shen Xiaoxia's eyes light up when he heard him say he was going to take the college entrance examination, he couldn't help but ask, "Xia Xia, you don't blame me for being reckless, do you?"
"How could that be?" Shen Xiaoxia was so happy, "I think what you did was right. I was thinking about how to convince you to take the college entrance examination, and now you have this idea yourself. I am so happy."
"That's good." Since Shen Xiaoxia had no objection, he didn't have to worry too much about his family. He was confident that he could convince them.
In the following days, Jiang Yan also joined their review army.
As the days go by, the scheduled college entrance examination time is getting closer and closer, and everyone is getting more and more nervous.
