Back to the golden age

On the day of the end of the college entrance examination, he celebrated with food and drinks, and Song Yuanchao went to work as usual after dawn the next day.

The printing workshop of the school-run factory has officially started production. This time, what is printed is no longer college entrance examination review materials, but extracurricular tutoring materials divided by grades.

The school started the summer vacation on July 7, and the teachers were also free. The teachers who were free helped organize the materials and set up the questions. The factory gave subsidies to the teachers according to the previous method.

The weather is hot, and there is no air conditioner in the office. At best, there are only a few electric fans, and the electric fans can't be turned on too much, because the wind will easily blow away the papers that are full of the office.

Therefore, the teachers at work work very hard. They rely on a basin of water, a towel and drinking tea to drive away the summer heat. In order to ensure their health and work smoothly, Song Yuanchao asked the factory to arrange a large bucket of salt soda and sour plum soup every day to prevent heatstroke and cool down. In addition, I specially rode a tricycle to the ice factory to buy ice cubes to cool down the teacher, including the factory workers.

Through the efforts of the teachers, the extracurricular tutoring materials have gradually taken shape, and the factory has officially started construction.

In the following days, Song Yuanchao kept running between the factory and the school, busy with various tasks, so busy that he didn't even care about the results of the college entrance examination.

Half a month passed in a flash. On this day, Song Yuanchao was checking a set of junior high school math tutoring exercise books that had just been bound in the workshop. Suddenly, Principal Zhou and Director Ma rushed in from outside.

"Aid Dynasty! Song Yuan Dynasty!"

As soon as he entered the workshop, Principal Zhou yelled Song Yuanchao's name in a loud voice that didn't match his age, looking for him. Song Yuanchao looked up to the door and didn't know what happened for a while.

"Yanchao!" Seeing Song Yuanchao, Principal Zhou and the director of the horse factory walked over with a stride. When they arrived, Principal Zhou looked at Song Yuanchao with great satisfaction and eyes, and was full of emotion: "You passed the exam! Yuanchao, you I got admitted to university! I got admitted!"

"Yanchao, you are really good at it! You actually passed the exam. The master is very happy for you from the bottom of my heart. Hey... you are going to leave after you are admitted to the university. Thinking of this, the master feels empty... " Raising his hand on Song Yuanchao's shoulder, Director Ma was also a little agitated.

Although Song Yuanchao is not an ordinary person, after nearly 70 years of ups and downs in his previous life, he has long been calm about many things, but today, when Principal Zhou and Director Ma suddenly told him that he was admitted to university, his heart ached. Unexpectedly, it was beating violently uncontrollably, and the whole body trembled slightly.

"Principal, master, I... I really passed the exam? How many points did I get? Which university?"

"371 points! You got 371 points in the exam! Which university can't you get into?" Principal Zhou was very happy. He didn't expect Song Yuanchao to get 371 points in the exam. In 1979, the admission scores of Jingshi University were 310 points and With a score of 280, Song Yuanchao took the science exam as a reference and directly scored a high score of 371.

371 points?Song Yuanchao was in a daze when he heard the score. He didn't expect to get such a high score. He originally thought that getting a score of about 340 was pretty good, but the actual score was 30 points higher than he estimated. More points.

Looking at Song Yuanchao's stunned expression, Principal Zhou thought he was being silly. In fact, he was no different from Song Yuanchao when he received the call just now. He was also stunned when he heard the score, and could hardly believe his ears. .

As a senior educator, Principal Zhou knows very well what Song Yuanchao's score of 371 means.

In this era, although the country has resumed the college entrance examination, the admission scores of the college entrance examination are actually not high due to the weak learning foundation of students and young people who take the college entrance examination.

There have been only three sessions since the resumption of the college entrance examination, let alone the first session. At that time, the admission score of Jingshi University was only 270 points, which is unimaginable in later generations.

Even this year, since the number of people taking the college entrance examination nationwide has reached a record 468 million, and the fresh graduates take the college entrance examination, the difficulty of the examination papers has increased accordingly, and the admission scores have also increased accordingly. The admission rate of the entire college entrance examination is only a mere 6.1%.

As an educated youth returning to the city, Song Yuanchao was able to score such a high score as 371 points. This made Principal Zhou very excited and gratified. He was grateful for his persistence, and it was precisely because of this persistence that Song Yuanchao did not miss the college entrance examination. , thus saving a rare talent for the country.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yuanchao clenched his fists. At this time, he was also extremely excited, and even felt a little strange. How could he feel this way when he didn't care about the college entrance examination?

"Song Yuanchao, you are awesome!"

"Director Song, you are so good! You actually got admitted to school, congratulations!"

"Director Song, you want to treat me! This is a happy event!"

When he heard that Song Yuanchao was admitted to the university with a high score of 371, and it was the best university in the country, the whole workshop erupted in a burst of cheers after a short period of calm.

Everyone looked at Song Yuanchao with admiration and admiration. In their view, Song Yuanchao was not only their own leader, but also a real college student, and a college student who was admitted to the highest university in the country with high scores. Proud of all?

Compared with the rotten streets of college students in later generations, the gold content of college students in this era is extremely high. Before the expansion of university enrollment, it is not an exaggeration to say that going to college is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and after entering the university, the status will also change. , no matter what status you were before going to college, as long as you go to college, you are equal to stepping into the ranks of national cadres.

Song Yuanchao is now the workshop director of the school-run factory, and he is also a teaching staff in terms of establishment, but even so, his so-called cadre status is only inside the school-run factory, not in the formal administrative sequence.

What is a cadre, a cadre is a person with an administrative level!

The 50 administrative levels designated by the country in the 23s, you belong to that level, and you get the salary of that level. This is the identity of the four characters that truly represent the national cadres.

Just like Principal Zhou, as the old principal of No. 23 Middle School, a key middle school, especially in a city like Shanghai, his administrative level is 16th according to the current [-]rd administrative level.

But the factory director Ma is different. Although he is a factory of a school-run factory and an old man in No. 22 Middle School, his administrative level is only a clerk at the [-]nd level.

So although Song Yuanchao is the director of the workshop, he does not have any administrative rank, and he is paid the same salary as ordinary workers.

But it’s different when you go to university. College students are the pride of heaven. Once they are admitted to university, their status will change drastically, just like the imperial examinations in ancient times.This is not an exaggeration.

As a college student, he directly enjoys the treatment of cadres at the 23rd level in the school. Not only are tuition fees and miscellaneous fees free, but the state also provides fixed monthly allowances.

After graduating from university, the state will assign work. The starting point is at least 22-level staff. If you are a graduate of a key university, you will be paid more, and you may be 21 or even 20 after you work as a doctoral student.

Song Yuanchao, the workshop director and the so-called cadre status are only limited to the inside of the school-run factory, but it is different now, he is already a college student admitted to university, and the status of a national cadre is already a certainty. Almost the same level of national cadre status.

Ordinary people have always envied and feared the status of a state cadre. Even some workers who had previously disapproved of Song Yuanchao's rapid transformation from a newcomer to a workshop director, when they heard the news that Song Yuanchao was admitted to university, they looked at Song Yuanchao It is also different from before.

"Okay, treat, must treat." Song Yuanchao agreed with a smile amidst everyone's cheers, and directly took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Li Daqi beside him: "I invite everyone to have a cold drink, Daqi, take someone to Buy some simple bricks outside, buy as much as you can, I invite!" (Jian bricks are bright small ice bricks, half the size of medium ice bricks, wrapped in white wax paper, sold for a hair in those days, belonging to A luxury in cold drinks.)

"it is good!"

"Thank you Director Song, we wish you a bright future in university!"

"Yes! I wish Director Song every step of the way in the future, and don't forget us when you graduate and become a national cadre!"

When everyone heard Song Yuanchao's generosity, they immediately burst into warm cheers and burst into applause. The whole workshop was filled with joy, feeling everyone's warm and sincere blessings.
