Chapter 164 Can’t You Have a Little Confidence?
This news did not make much of a difference to the farmers, but soon other young people in the village who had graduated from junior high school and high school became excited.
Everyone went to find the books they hadn't read for a long time. They also wanted to take the college entrance examination and become college students.
"I've already sent a telegram to Teacher Wang, asking him to compile a list of university admissions information nationwide and send it to me. Don't slack off in this final moment. Consolidate the knowledge you've learned so far."
"Sister, do you think I can go to university or college with my level?" An Jinbao looked at his cousin in a flattering way.
Hearing such a lack of confidence, An Xueyan felt very disappointed and said, "Can't you have a little confidence? If you get into a junior college, I'd be embarrassed to say that I taught you."
"I feel like I'm the worst student among all of us." An Jinbao muttered. He didn't know what was wrong with his cousin and his sister's brains. They acted as if every question was very easy for them.
He looked even worse than an elementary school student. If he wasn't thick-skinned and didn't think it mattered, someone with a little mind and a strong sense of self-esteem would probably be too embarrassed to get close to these two people and would have been so depressed that he would have jumped into the river.
"Thank you Yanyan and Shitou for your troubles for us during this period. I will never forget your help." An Dongmei promised gently and firmly.
"I'll make a lot of delicious food for you guys in the future."
"I'll buy you new clothes and new books every year when I have money."
"If you have any problems in the future, just give your brother Jinbao a call and he will definitely stand by you."
Several people also spoke up, and An Xueyan was a little moved.
Her way of expressing her gratitude was: "In that case, for the sake of my future benefits, I will give you a few more test papers."
What greeted them was the wailing of several people!
There was a reason for the questions An Xueyan gave them. She had studied the examination papers of the first college entrance examination in her previous life. Although she didn't remember the content, she still knew the general types of questions.
So they want to do poorly on the test, unless they answer the questions without reading them, or unexpected situations arise.
In addition to their study group, their cousin Jianhua and his wife who work, as well as their older cousin Guo Jun, are all going to take the college entrance examination. They started out reviewing on their own, but after failing the test papers prepared by the brother and sister, they humbled themselves and asked the brother and sister to help them check for any gaps and fill them in.
In November, they all took the preliminary exam and passed it. After passing the physical examination, they entered the intensive review stage.
On December 12, everyone from the An family who was taking the college entrance examination entered the examination room with a nervous and anxious mood. An Xueyan's brother and sister also went to the scene to watch the college entrance examination as their escort personnel.
An Xueyan also took her camera to take pictures of everyone, including a lot of pictures of the brothers and sisters, as well as the conditions of other candidates.
After the first exam, many people around me broke down and cried.
"I think the questions are okay, not particularly difficult." An Jinbao, who had just left the examination room, whispered to the brother and sister. He didn't dare to laugh when he saw the situation around him.
Although his preliminary exam score was not announced, An Xueyan estimated that it would be around 320 points, with a total score of 400 points in five subjects, which gave him a lot of confidence.
So he was able to maintain a stable mentality during the exam today, and the other members of the An family who followed him out also looked fine.
"Brother, don't be proud. You must be careful when reading the questions. If you lose points due to carelessness, I will let my uncles deal with you together." An Xueyan reminded him when she saw his little tail sticking up.
The eldest cousin, An Jianhua, patted his cousin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to Uncle Wu's house for dinner first. We have an exam in the afternoon, so we need to cheer up."
"Then we'll go home first and see you at the exam hall in the afternoon." Guo's eldest cousin also said that they were going back home for dinner.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents during the exam, they all took their food rations to their fifth uncle's house. For this purpose, their aunt even took a leave of absence to come to the city to cook for them. After all, their fifth uncle and his wife had to go to work and did not have time to cook for so many people.
All the candidates in their family chose science. If they study math, physics and chemistry well, they won't be afraid of traveling around the world. There is nothing wrong with this choice.
The afternoon exams are physics and chemistry. The exams are divided into two days. The math exam is in the morning of the second day and the politics exam is in the afternoon. If there is an additional English exam on the third day, there will be another half day.
Only my cousin chose English. No one else chose to take the additional test, but the brother and sister did teach them some simple questions.
After the exam, you just have to wait for the admission letter. The results will not be announced this time, so all you can do is wait.
After the exam, we returned home and started writing down our answers to the test papers and estimating our scores.
My two cousins also came along. They wanted to know the results as soon as possible. Although they thought they had answered the questions, they still wanted to confirm whether they were correct.
The task of coming up with the correct answer fell on the brother and sister.
The total score of this college entrance examination is 400. According to the answers they filled in, the worst score was 290 points, and the highest score was 370 points by cousin Dongmei. If the scores were announced, they would probably be among the top few.
After passing the preliminary exam, all of them applied to universities in the capital. An Xueyan had a list of universities across the country, so they wouldn't be groping in the dark.
People nowadays have a deep affection for the capital, which is human nature. An Xueyan also plans to go to the capital in the future.
She is only in the second year of junior high school now, and there are still three years before the college entrance examination. She is young and there is no rush for her to go to college. Her father probably won't be worried about her at the age of 9.
After the exam, there was a long and anxious wait. A month later, the brigade’s educated youth point received the first admission notice. It was from He Yong, a educated youth point, who was admitted to a university in the province.
After receiving the notice, the other party quickly completed the formalities and left without any reluctance.
The An family did not receive a single admission letter, and there were many people in the village who were jealous of their family and secretly laughed at them.
Her grandmother heard a lot of sour words when she went out, and her complexion has not been very good recently. She even got blisters at the corners of her mouth in such cold weather.
An Xueyan quickly prepared some hot tea for her.
"Grandma, why are you so angry with those ignorant people? My aunt and the others have already filled in the capital. It takes time for them to send letters to us. Sooner or later, they will slap you in the face."
"I'm not going to feel at ease until I receive the acceptance letter. I don't even dare to mention it to your aunt. Do you think the letter might be stuck in traffic because of the snow?"
An Xueyan said with absolute certainty: "No, it will definitely come soon. Then our family can have a happy and lively New Year."
A few days later, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the family was absent-mindedly making dumplings at home when they heard An Jinbao's voice coming from outside the door.
"Aunt, come out quickly, the postman is here with the admission letter. Haha~ I got in too." The laughter was particularly loud.
A group of people rushed out.
"Where is it? Let me see it quickly." The fastest one was the old lady, who didn't look like she was over 60 years old.
