Accidentally born in the ’60s

    This batch of courtyard houses was originally only sold to high-ranking insiders, so Li Muwen quickly helped Zhen Zhen to complete the formalities, but he did not know the quirky little girl from his hometown When planning how to clean up this courtyard, he did not decide without authorization, but sent someone to clean up the dust inside, and the rest remained the same.

    Zhen Zhen knew that she had handed over the matter of buying a house to Li Muwen, so she felt relieved and read books steadily. How many points can you get", she followed the trend when she was still in college. Although not all the questions can be remembered now, she still has an impression of what type of questions there are.

    In June, Zhen Zhen basically didn't go out of the house. Every day from morning to night, she did questions and read books. Only then did Mrs. Li realize that every time Mingnan came to the house She didn't even talk about the review, she was a little muttered in her heart, and went to ask Zhen Zhen during the day when there was no one at home.

    Zhen Zhen also felt a little distressed when she thought of Mingnan giving up the college entrance examination. After all, from the perspective of the future, there is really no way out of being a worker for a lifetime, unless you dare to resign in the early stage of reform and opening up and take a chance, Otherwise, you can only eat a lifetime of dead wages, and you will not be able to buy a house until you retire.

    Zhen Zhen put down the pen, turned around and rubbed her eyebrows: "The third brother said that he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of his family after he was admitted to school, and that no one would take care of you, so he thought of not taking the college entrance examination."

    "Hey. Why did he hold back such a big idea? You said that they didn't live at home, but I didn't pay attention to it. It almost caused them to delay the big event." Madam Li patted her thigh angrily and looked at Zhen Zhen with a sad face: "Zhen Zhen, you and Nian said, is it time for them to review now?"

    The resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977 is in the winter, and there are still five or six months from now, Zhen Zhen has already classified the same type of questions in the review, and the language is also according to the memory of the previous life. The main points and the articles that need to be memorized are copied out. According to the foundation of Mingnan, it is not a problem to review for so many months. Thinking of this, Zhen Zhen nodded: "My brother has a good foundation, if he can study hard for a few months, he will definitely be admitted to the university."

    "That's enough." Mrs. Li slapped her thigh and made a decision: "When I send the dumplings back in the evening, I will talk to them about it by the way. Leave it to our house, and your mother and I will watch it, and let them both review their homework."

    That night, Mrs. Li estimated that it was time to get off work, so she and Wang Sufen led the dumplings to Mingnan's house in the back. Meng Xiaoxi was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen coming, she immediately stood up with a smile: "Nanny, Mom, you are here. Ming Nan is helping the biscuits to change clothes, and he is going to pick them up later. What about dumplings?"

    Wang Sufen let go and let Dumpling go back to the house to find his brother to play with, while he went into the kitchen to help Meng Xiaoxi make the fire: "It's not just for dumplings, your milk will talk to you later Tell Mingnan."

    Meng Xiaoxi didn't know what was going on, so she quickly prepared the food and brought it to the table for the biscuits and dumplings to eat first. Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen sat on the kang in the east room and waited. After a while, Ming Nan and Meng Xiaoxi came in.

    Mr. Li sat in the kang and asked Mingnan straight to the point: "I heard your sister say that you don't want to go to university?" Meng Xiaoxi turned back and looked at Mingbei in surprise. , seems to have just heard the news.

    Ming Nan sat on the edge of the kang with a helpless look on his face: "My eldest brother lives in Anbei, what kind of scientific research does Mingxi and his wife do in the imperial capital, Mingbei and Zhen Zhen both want to study University, can't we all leave and leave you old people unattended."

    Wang Sufen lowered her head silently, not daring to dismantle the old lady, she just walked up the mountain and came back without even bending her waist. Over the years, Zhen Zhen has used her supernatural powers to plant the land at home, and she almost forgot what it was like to farm.

    Ming Nan was ridiculed by Mrs. Li, and moved out silently: "I can't put it down at home, look at my two children, if I go to school, Xiaoxi One person can't take care of these two skin monkeys at all."

    Mr. Li glanced at Meng Xiaoxi, who was a little confused: "Isn't Xiaoxi ready to take the test?"

    "What's the test?" Meng Xiaoxi looked at Mingnan: "Mingnan never mentioned this."

    Mr. Li gave Ming Nan an angry look, kicked him up, dragged Meng Xiaoxi and sat beside her: "It was your uncle who came back during the New Year and said that he will be able to recover this year. For the college entrance examination, this Bu Zhen Zhen has prepared a lot of materials and wants to review the college entrance examination with you. I am thinking about not delaying your young couple's future because of our seniors, so I will ask again."

    Meng Xiaoxi lowered her head and thought for a moment, but her face was hesitant: "I was a health school after graduating from junior high school, so I can't do it. If I don't let Mingnan take the test, I can do it by myself at home. When my eldest brother was in college, my eldest sister-in-law was at home, it was nothing."

    Once Mrs. Li saw that both of them still had some concerns, she put the book and exercises she brought in front of them: "This is the study material organized by Zhen Zhen. You decide for yourself, as for me and your parents and your mother, you don't have to worry about it, maybe we will go to the imperial capital to accompany Zhen Zhen in two years. By then, there will be only four of you left at home, so don't send a telegram to urge us. return."

    After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she got off the kang and put on her shoes to go home. Ming Nan and Meng Xiaoxi stopped for a while: "Milk, you can eat here, it's all done."

    "No need, I'm ready to cook at home. I'm afraid I'll delay your future. I'll come and talk to you. You should think about it for yourself." When the phone went out, seeing the lights in Mingbei's house, Mrs. Li said, "Go out and see Mingbei and the two of them."

    It was not yet time to sleep, so the door was open, and Mrs. Li entered the room directly and saw Ming Bei and Wang Xinwen working on a problem.

    Mingbei was not particularly fond of learning. At that time, he wanted to only read junior high school. Later, because of a secret love in his heart, he worked hard to get into the hydrolysis factory. Now that he is tired from work during the day, he doesn't even want to move when he lies on the kang at night. But Wang Xinwen has a temperament that can endure hardship. Even if she has a big belly, she perseveres in reviewing the questions every day. Mingbei sees her daughter-in-law working so hard while she is pregnant, and she is embarrassed to be lazy. Reading together is a bit like going to school, and both of them enjoy such little fun.

    Seeing that the two of them were working hard, Mrs. Li didn't sit much, and instructed Wang Xinwen to get up and turn twice every once in a while, so her waist couldn't stand it.

    In the blink of an eye, it was August, and the news of the college entrance examination had not yet been released. Mingbei's mind was a little scattered. Seeing that Wang Xinwen still had ten days before her due date, Mingbei couldn't read any more books. . The best hospital in Beicha is the Hydrolysis Plant Hospital. Seeing the uneasy look of Mingbei and his wife, Mrs. Li went to Lao Wang's house with a gift to see if they could go back to the Hydrolysis Plant first. In this way, you can go directly to the hospital.

    Wang Xinwen's parents are also the same girl, so naturally they are not unhappy, the house is narrow now, Wang Xinwen has two younger brothers at home, the two discussed it, and simply asked them to follow Li The old lady went home and lived in Mingbei's house.

    Wang Xinwen started living in her mother's house for a week and gave birth to a fat boy weighing 7kg in less than half a day. After three days in the hospital, Mingbei asked the neighbors to borrow a large The car took Wang Xinwen and the child home directly from the hospital. While watching Wang Sufen making chicken soup, Mrs. Li couldn't help but mutter: "Why is our family's incense still so prosperous, I thought our family's feng shui had changed when we made the sweet-scented osmanthus and peanuts.

    Wang Sufen smiled and filled the stove with firewood: "Everyone else wants to have sons, but you are always different from ordinary people."

    Mrs. Li took a breath: "That's because they don't know how to raise a daughter."

    Assuming that when the chicken soup was boiled, Wang Sufen took out a small stuffy can, filled the chicken soup, and brought it to Wang Xinwen.

    Don't look at Wang Xinwen not fat, but her milk is very good, the big fat boy is full, and he can sleep for half the night, Mrs. Li said that she has never seen such a well-fed child, hurry up It's time to catch up with Zhen Zhen's childhood. My son saves trouble. When Wang Xinwen is free, she asks Mingbei to read the questions to herself. When Wang Sufen went there, she heard Mingbei and Wang Xinwen recite the text. She hurriedly went to the kitchen and gave Wang Xinwen a bowl of noodles with chicken soup. There was also a bowl of noodles in it. Big drumsticks.

    "Wenwen, don't work hard, you can't be too busy confinement." Wang Sufen asked Mingbei to put the noodles on the kang table and put the noodles on the table: "Mingbei, go ahead and meet Go to dinner with your milk, and I'll watch Wenwen and the child for you first."

    Mingbei responded, poured a glass of water for Wang Xinwen and put it on the table, just walked two steps and came back and asked, "Mom, what's my son's nickname?"

      He didn't say anything back.

    Mingbei looked at Wang Xinwen expectantly: "Daughter-in-law, what do you like to eat?"

    "Let's call it noodles." Wang Xinwen drank a mouthful of noodle soup: "Mum's noodles are really fragrant."

    Wang Sufen immediately opened her arms and said quickly, "Eat more if you like it. Mom cooked a big pot of chicken soup for you. The noodles are also ready-made, so we won't cook enough."

    "Noodles..." Mingbei repeated several times, turned and walked out: "The name of noodles sounds okay, but fortunately I didn't get it, my favorite food is the stove grates, oops, It smells old."

    ***

    Old Li's family was overjoyed when they heard the news, even Ming Nan and Meng Xiaoxi, who had been reading and reviewing, but had not decided whether to take the exam or not, when they heard the broadcast, the two I also made a decision. I have to try it if I can do it. Seeing that one third of my life has passed, if I don't have any more aggressiveness, I will really fall behind my younger brothers and sisters.

    So the Mingnan couple, the Mingbei couple, and Zhen Zhen all signed up and received the admission ticket. During the sprint stage of the last month, Mrs. Li brought Mingnan's biscuits and dumplings and Mingbei's noodles to the front yard with her. Mingnan, Meng Xiaoxi, and Mingbei all took long vacations. During the day, everyone stayed at Mingbei's house. Zhen Zhen led them to do the questions together, and practiced the college entrance examination questions they remembered repeatedly.

    It was finally the day of the college entrance examination. Wang Sufen got up in the middle of the night and made chicken soup. When she heard Mingbei and the others got up and washed up, she quickly cooked a pot of noodles with the boiled chicken soup, and tore a lot of chicken into it. Also put five poached eggs.

    Mingnan and a few people snorted and snorted with a large bowl of noodles, and Zhen Zhen asked everyone to check the admission ticket and stationery box to make sure that all the things for the exam were brought, and then they rode together Bike to school.

    In the first year, the college entrance examination will be resumed, and only four subjects will be tested, mathematics, Chinese, and politics. In addition, the liberal arts test history and geography, and the science subject physics and chemistry, each subject is 100%, and the total score is 400 point.

    It was the first time in so many years to sit for the exam, not only Mingbei and Mingnan's hands were shaking, even Zhen Zhen was also a little nervous. However, compared to other candidates who have only been reviewing for more than a month, the old Li family started reviewing during the Chinese New Year last year. Not to mention that the textbooks are all rotten, and even Zhen Zhen has done a few exercises from all over the world. Ten sets.

    Finding the papers, a few people hurriedly followed what Zhen Zhen said, first wrote their names and test numbers before starting to do the questions, they scanned the test questions roughly, and everyone in Mingnan breathed a sigh of relief. I have reviewed all the questions with Zhen Zhen, so it shouldn't be a problem. At this time, Zhen Zhen has already been writing hard, and in the eyes of others, some math problems are the same as those in heaven, but in Zhen Zhen's eyes, they are not much different from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

    For ten years, too many people have focused their energy on the fields or factories. Now that the policy has come, when they want to follow the policy, they realize that they are too far behind. many.

    In the examination room, only the rustling of the pen writing on the paper could be heard, and Wang Sufen, like many parents of the candidates in later generations, was restlessly waiting at home, waiting for Ming Nan and Zhen Zhen to come back Now, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly served the braised pork, rice, and bean curd in oil, so that they would be full before taking the next course.

    Hand in the last test paper, Zhen Zhen walked out of the examination room, she was looking around for her brother and sister-in-law, when she saw Mingbei rushing out of the classroom cheering, dragging Wang Xinwen who just came out, jumping and jumping . Zhen Zhen pressed her temples that were jumping non-stop, hurriedly walked over and tugged at him, helplessly said: "It's just been calm for a few years and then it's not stable, you are afraid that others won't know that you can pass the test, right?"

    Mingbei suddenly laughed out loud, looked at the eyes of the people around him, quickly let go of Wang Xinwen's hand, and said in a low voice: "I think I can be admitted to the National University."

    Wang Xinwen couldn't help but smile: "I think it's the same, when I was in school, the textbook didn't have much content, and the teacher didn't teach it seriously. After graduation, I went to the youth point for three years. In 2008, we almost forgot about those things in school. If it wasn't for Zhen Zhen pulling us to study hard this year, I don't think we could even finish the math papers."

    Mingbei thought about the questions on the math paper, which were basically the types of questions that Zhen Zhen had taught him, and immediately patted Zhen Zhen on the shoulder and said proudly: "Brother, I have to treat you well. , you said what you want to eat, brother go up the mountain to hunt for you."

    Zhen Zhen looked at Ming Bei with a sweet smile: "Then come back with a wild boar."

    Ming Bei's legs softened and he almost knelt down for Zhen Zhen: "Sister, in fact, I'm thinking that it's not good for this person to eat meat all the time, and it's easy to gain weight, why don't brother buy you clothes? , let's go to the big supply and marketing cooperative of the hydrolysis plant tomorrow, what do you like to buy for you?"

    Zhen Zhen smiled and patted Ming Bei's chest: "You earn the two money and keep it for my noodle nephew to buy milk powder." The two brothers and sisters were talking and laughing, Ming Nan and Meng Xiaoxi also came out. One of them signed up for Forestry University and the other signed up for Medical School, both of which are schools in Bingcheng.

    "How was the test?" Mingbei asked.

    Ming Nan glanced at Meng Xiaoxi with a smile on his face: "I don't think it's a big problem." Meng Xiaoxi said a little embarrassedly: "I have two math problems that I haven't done yet. What Zhen said, I forgot when I was in a hurry, but I did everything else."

    Zhen Zhen smiled and patted her schoolbag: "Okay, after the exam is over, I don't think about these things, we have to go home and discuss how to celebrate before we talk."

    Mingbei suddenly laughed: "It is necessary."

    The resumption of the college entrance examination in the first year, the country attaches great importance to it from top to bottom, Zhen Zhen originally thought that she would get results after the new year, but who would have received the admission letter just after her birthday. Zhen Zhen was admitted to the journalism major of the Literature Department of Imperial College with the highest score in the province, Ming Bei was admitted by the Civil Engineering Department of NUS, Wang Xinwen was admitted to the Law Department of Imperial College, Ming Nan and Meng Xiaoxi both took When they arrived in Bingcheng, one went to Forestry University and the other went to Bingcheng Medical University.

    The five children of Lao Li's family were admitted to universities, three of which are the two best universities in the country. When the news came out, the whole Beicha was shocked, and the hydrolysis plant was specially opened for this purpose. A celebration to see off Mingnan, Mingbei, Meng Xiaoxi and Wang Xinwen. Many neighbors and colleagues came to Lao Li's house to review the materials, and they called for the things that the champion Zhen Zhen had used. They were all blessed, and they might even be able to get back to a university if they touched it more.

    Liu Xiulan heard from the neighbors that her niece didn’t even care about cooking after she passed the champion exam, she trotted all the way to Li Muwu’s house, panting and took Zhen Zhen’s hand and didn’t let go: “Zhen Zhen Zhen, the third aunt told you that your textbooks must be given to my family Mingrong and Mingguang. Oh, you said that they didn't believe in the resumption of the college entrance examination. If you study hard with you this year, right? Can we go to college together?"

    The more Liu Xiulan thought about it, the more angry she felt: "They are all married people, I am too embarrassed to say more about them, you talk about why they are so unwilling to let them go to college and harm them It's like, I watched Mingrong and Mingguang thinking about taking over."

    My cousin is definitely more friendly than outsiders, Zhen Zhen sorted out two sets of books and materials and handed it to Liu Xiulan: "Third aunt, this year, because of special reasons, the college entrance examination was held in winter. Normally, I wait until The exam is in July, and it's only half a year, so you have to urge my brothers Mingrong and Mingguang to read books carefully."

    "Don't worry, this time I have to watch them learn every day." Liu Xiulan held a thick stack of books, and she felt a lot at ease: "There are exercises that the champion niece has done herself. Question, you say that they can take the ice city even if they can’t take the exam.”

    Zhen Zhen smiled, stroked her hair and didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, Liu Xiulan happily entered the room and said hello to Mrs. Li: "Mother, I'll bring the book back to Mingrong and Mingguang. Also study hard."

    "Study hard, and you won't suffer when you get into a good university." Mrs. Li smoked her cigarette and said, "Look at the beginning, Mingdong could earn more than fifty yuan as soon as he graduated. It's better than his father's class all his life. After all, it's not because he went to college. Although the next two years were not smooth, but I know from the radio that college students will be no worse in the future."

    Mr. Li looked at Liu Xiulan and summed up: "I think your two boys just listen to the radio and have too little brains, so don't save money all day long I’m reluctant to spend, so hurry back and buy a radio, I can’t get it wrong by listening to it more.”

    Liu Xiulan sneered: "The radio is really not cheap, isn't it? Besides, we don't have any radio tickets at home."

    "If you don't have enough money, I'll lend you some first." Mrs. Li knocked on the cigarette bag: "But you have to get your own radio tickets."

    Liu Xiulan laughed and said, "Oh, I seem to be asking you for money, no, no, Ming Rong Mingguang has made a lot of money in the business of pulling wood in the past two years, wait for me Go home and discuss."

    Mr. Li nodded and called out Shen Bei: "Go get a basket and put the books in it, and take your third aunt home on a bicycle."

    ****

    Because the school starts at the end of February, you have to go to school without waiting for the first month of the new year. There are children in Mingnan and Mingbei. .

    Mingnan and Meng Xiaoxi are relatively easy to manage. The two schools are not too far away. Forestry University not only has its own forest farm, but also has an attached primary school and kindergarten. Just send it. It's just that it is inconvenient to live in the dormitory with children, and the noise will affect the rest of the roommates, and I am afraid that it will make people uncomfortable.

    Li Mulin has lived in Bingcheng for more than 20 years, and he is more familiar with Bingcheng than Beicha: "Linda's area is vast and sparsely populated, and houses like ours are empty. There are a lot of them, so you can borrow a room to live in, and give you some rice noodles or something for a month, and it won’t cost you a few dollars.” Meng Xiaoxi was relieved when she heard this, and sent her children to the kindergarten as soon as she went to school in the morning, and she would leave after school. Bring the child back without delay.

    Compared to Meng Xiaoxi, Wang Xinwen is much more troublesome. It has only been five months since the noodles, and every day is inseparable from people. At home, it took half a year for the mother and son to part, and Wang Xinwen felt a pain in her heart again.

    Seeing the little grandson's daughter-in-law holding her child, she made a decision with a slap in the face: "Let's go, I've been listening to the *** on the radio all day for so many years, I still don't know what to do. If you know what *** looks like, let's follow them to the imperial capital to have a look. Mingdong, mother, are you going?"

    "Go!" Wang Sufen answered loudly: "I listen to my mother, I will go wherever my mother tells me to go."

    Li Muwu sat beside him dumbfounded: "What about me? Just leave me at home? I can't cook!"
