Speaking of which, it’s also thanks to He Tiantian.
Through her repeated money orders and the royalties that villagers envied, she very clearly showed everyone:
Studying is useful!
Cultured people, even when earning money, have it easier than us farmers.
"Heh Yuntian" isn’t a college student yet; "he" is just a high school student, yet he can earn piles of money by writing articles.
If their own children attend college and become officials, oh dear, even if they can’t write articles, they can get job placements and secure a stable job.
Besides, Educated Youth Heh also said, attending college doesn’t cost money, and you even get money.
As long as you pass the exams, you can save on household expenses.
In the past, there were no opportunities (the university entrance exam was suspended), but now with opportunities, if the children are willing to study, parents might not support them, but they won’t directly oppose.
At most, they’ll let nature take its course and definitely not force it!
Thus, some young people in the Qingliu Team, even if married or out of school for years, were influenced by the learning atmosphere and started to pick up textbooks.
As for He Tiantian, her writing tutorial class was temporarily paused and pivoted to a college entrance exam tutorial class.
She operated under the banner of "learning together," "mutual assistance," not posing as a teacher, but rather inserting some personal insights during discussions with classmates.
Luckily, the difficulty of the first exam after the resumption of the university entrance exam wasn’t high.
As long as there was some middle school foundation, plus He Tiantian’s very targeted guidance.
In just two months, even Liu Cuizhi and others experienced qualitative improvement.
On December 9th, the province’s university entrance exam officially began.
Tens of thousands of examinees who had been held back for ten years, some no longer young, still walked into the exam hall with excitement.
These examinees included recent high school graduates, sent-down educated youths, factory workers, and soldiers in the barracks...
Under He Tiantian’s influence, the Qingliu Team paid notably more attention to culture and knowledge.
For this entrance exam, the entire team responded positively and gave strong support.
When the examinees went to the county for the exam, the team leader figured out a way to get a tractor, pulling more than twenty examinees, including educated youths, going chug-chug-chugging toward the exam hall.
"Take the exam well, don’t feel burdened!"
"If it doesn’t work this time, there’s next year."
He Tiantian sat among the crowd, softly comforting a few who appeared overly anxious.
"Yes! If it doesn’t work this year, there’s next year! Anyway, the entrance exam has resumed, and the path to college is opened again!"
As long as it’s a fair and impartial unified entrance exam, they have a chance!
The speaker was an old educated youth, already in his twenties, who married a local girl three years ago and had a child last year.
His face had aged beyond his years, yet a bright light shone from his eyes.
"This year is the first, there will be many taking the exam, perhaps next year will be much better!"
"Everyone, don’t be nervous, calm down and answer the questions well!"
This old educated youth didn’t know whether he was comforting everyone or encouraging himself.
He spoke softly, yet his hand involuntarily clenched into a fist.
"Right! Brother Yang is correct, don’t be nervous, calm down and take the exam well!"
He Tiantian smiled and agreed.
Whether the few excessively nervous examinees listened or not, at least, they seemed less tense.
"...Zhuoya should also be taking the entrance exam!"
Seeing "Heh Yuntian" in high spirits, for some reason, Liu Weihong thought of Zhuoya.
She couldn’t help but mutter.
Sitting next to her, Ma Xinhua slightly furrowed his brow. Mentioning Zhuoya at this time seemed somewhat inappropriate.
However, Zhuoya lived at the same Educated Youth Corps with them for two years, so barely considered a friend.
Chatting idly, caring about the "friend’s" current situation was justifiable.
"Perhaps! Her grades were very good when she was in school!"
Ma Xinhua, being Zhuoya’s high school classmate, was quite familiar with Zhuoya’s situation.
Unfortunately, at that time, getting into college wasn’t based on grades, but on recommendation.
Zhuoya was just from an ordinary working-family, hoping to get recommendations from the neighborhood committee, school, and other units wasn’t easy.
Thus, right after high school graduation, she was sent down to the countryside.
A little over a month ago, Zhuoya married Chen Jianjun to return to the city, moving to the neighboring city.
Half a month ago, Chen Jianjun wrote back boasting, telling everyone not only did he get a job, but with the Chen Family’s arrangements, Zhuoya also got a temporary job.
