Hello, 1983

On July 7, 1986, more than 1.9 million candidates across the country will take the fateful exam today.

Liu Qingshan is also one of them, but with a slight difference: his fate is in his own hands.

In July, there is a fire, and early in the morning, the big sun shows the heat, and the air is dry and hot.

Liu Qingshan is okay, riding a bicycle, running with wind, very comfortable.

On the back shelf, Zheng Xiaoxiao sat on an old bicycle, passing through the streets, as if playing an old movie.

Zheng Xiaoxiao in the back seat of the car was a little embarrassed. Sitting sideways, she didn't put her arms around Liu Qingshan's waist, but held the seat under the seat tightly with both hands.

Listening to Liu Qingshan's mouth, he seemed to be humming some tune, but his face turned a little red.

Because she heard it, it was Teresa Teng's sweet song.

"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."

She didn't know that a classic movie scene sounded in Liu Qingshan's mind: the scene where Liming rides a big bicycle with Maggie Cheung on his back.

When approaching the door of No. 1 Middle School, Zheng Xiaoxiao jumped out of the car, and Liu Qingshan took one of the two water bottles hanging from the handlebar, handed it to her, and said, "Come on. "

"Well, come on." Zheng Xiaoxiao also waved a small fist.

She is a science student, and Liu Qingshan is a liberal arts student, so she definitely won't be able to get an exam room.

At the entrance of the examination room, there are basically not many parents in sight. Accompanying the examination is not popular these days.

At the school gate, Liu Qingshan took out the admission ticket. After checking, he pushed the bicycle in and parked the bicycle in the carport and locked it.

Because the instant noodle factory is on the outskirts of the city, it is also six or seven miles away from No. 1 Middle School, so I borrowed a bicycle from the factory.

There were already many candidates gathered in the yard, scattered under the shade of the big trees, but most of them, Liu Qingshan really didn't know much.

Throughout the three years of high school, he could count the number of times he went to the classroom with a single slap.

"Qingshan!"

In the end, someone called him.

Looking at the reputation, it was Shi Cheng who was in the same commune with him, and Liu Qingshan leaned over. He vaguely recognized that the boys here seemed to be classmates in his own class.

Everyone greeted him warmly and was very close to Liu Qingshan, except for Shi Cheng, he couldn't name others, which was a little embarrassing.

After Shi Cheng entered high school, his height rose again, almost one meter nine, half a head taller than Liu Qingshan.

Don't look at other people who are tall and big, but their brains are easy to use. They are always the third in the year group, and the ones in front of him are of course Liu Qingshan and Zheng Xiaoxiao.

"Qingshan, I thought you weren't ready to take the college entrance examination."

Shi Cheng didn't see Liu Qingshan's shadow in the pre-exam, that's why he said this.

His family is also from the Qingshan Commune, and of course he knows Liu Qingshan well. He knows that Liu Qingshan is leading the villagers in Jiapigou, and they are very prosperous, and every family has tens of thousands of dollars in savings.

Going to college is not to find a good career in the future. People have already found their own career. Of course, it is possible to go to college or not.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Of course, we must work hard to pass the exam and see the wider world outside."

The classmates around also nodded in understanding, but there were also a few yawning, apparently too stressed and didn't get a good night's sleep.

Shi Cheng also seemed to be infected, and yawned: "The hotel I stayed in yesterday was too noisy, and there were mosquitoes. I didn't sleep for the first half of the night."

During the college entrance examination, the school's dormitory canteens were closed, and candidates could only make up their own minds.

When Liu Qingshan heard it, he couldn't help but blinked his eyes twice: "Then leave the hotel room at noon. After the afternoon, I will go to the instant noodle factory with me. There are dormitories there, it's quite quiet, and there is a cafeteria."

After all, it's a classmate, and if you can help, please help.

When the boys heard it, their eyes lit up, and Shi Cheng asked tentatively, "Qingshan, won't it cause trouble?"

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "What's the trouble, Zheng Xiaoxiao lives there too."

"Ah? You all live together?" Shi Cheng opened his mouth.

"What are you thinking, I live in two dormitories. By the way, in your hotel, if there are any female voices from our class living there, please say hello and go to the dormitory at the factory. It happens to be a companion."

Liu Qingshan wanted to knock Shi Cheng's head, but this guy was a little tall, so he could only punch him lightly in the shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll go notify now."

Shi Cheng ran away after a few hoops. This guy is very popular among his classmates, and he is quite good at handling interpersonal relationships.

The first subject in the morning was Chinese, and Liu Qingshan answered it quite smoothly. Chinese is more about examining students’ accumulation and ideas. Who can compare with Liu Qingshan’s accumulated skills for decades?

As for the point of view of composition, Liu Qingshan's cognitive height, of course, far exceeds that of his peers.

This year's college entrance examination composition is to give a small section of the relationship between trees, forests and climate, and then find meaningful topics and express your own opinions.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Qingshan wrote an article from the perspective of the individual, the country and the national spirit.

He introduced it from Lin Zexu's "*******, *******", expounding the relationship between the individual and the state.

Emphasizing that everyone can exert their subjective initiative, the country will be prosperous and strong, and the Chinese nation will surely usher in a great rejuvenation.

Not to mention a full score, it is difficult to score a low score for such a high-minded, politically correct, and well-cited, gorgeously written composition.

At the end of noon, the students walked out of the examination room excitedly. It seems that they all did well in the examination. This is the main reason why the first subject has to take the Chinese examination.

In the past two years, the teaching quality of No. 1 Middle School has steadily improved, and the admission rate has also increased year by year.

I found Zheng Xiaoxiao at the school gate, got on the bicycle, and Zheng Xiaoxiao began to chant:

"Qingshan, several girls in the class said that they didn't have a good rest in the hostel. I think the factory's dormitory is still vacant. Can I ask them to stay there?"

"Then you have to ask the eldest sister, and I said it doesn't count." Liu Qingshan deliberately teased this girl.

There was a pothole on the road ahead, the bicycle twisted a bit, and Zheng Xiaoxiao took advantage of the situation and put his hand on Liu Qingshan's waist.

Liu Qingshan is an old driver and he is relatively stable. If he were replaced by a general Maotou boy, it is estimated that when he was excited, he would ride his bicycle in a ditch.

"Sister Jin Feng will definitely agree."

Zheng Xiaoxiao still has this confidence, she knows the Liu Qingshan family too well.

"That's right, I'll find some more boys." Liu Qingshan said while riding a bicycle.

Then I felt a tightness in my waist, and was pinched by Zheng Xiaoxiao: "Is it intentional, you have already planned it, classmate Sanfeng!"

If Zheng Xiaoxiao called him classmate Sanfeng, it would prove that there must be something wrong.

"Drive, be serious, don't disturb the driver."

Liu Qingshan responded righteously.

When he returned to the factory, Liu Qingshan was also sweating profusely, and the weather was too hot.

Liu Jinfeng was already waiting for them, and went directly to the cafeteria. The food was ready, four dishes and one soup, all of which were relatively light on a hot day. The only meaty smell was a burnt fish.

Exactly, I can lie down in bed for a while after eating.

Liu Qingshan opened his mouth to talk about his classmates, and of course Liu Jinfeng agreed with it, and also directly arranged a large truck to be specially responsible for pick-up and drop-off.

It was said that the more than 100 trucks that Liu Qingshan had tossed around in the Heihe had already traveled long distances to the military area.

When they were sent back, they happened to be passing by near Bishui County. Liu Qingshan called Chief Zhao and left 20 cars here, and allocated 10 cars to each of the instant noodle factory and the ham sausage factory.

Of course, one yard is one yard, and the car money still has to be settled with Longteng Company.

When the exam was over in the afternoon, Zheng Xiaoxiao happily gathered his classmates, more than a dozen men and women in total.

After leaving the school gate, a big gas car was already waiting on the side of the road, and Liu Qingshan greeted everyone to get on the bus.

"Hey, and this treatment, okay!"

Shi Cheng took the lead by climbing on the board of the carriage, jumped onto the car, then stretched out his hand and began to pull people up.

This guy specifically grabbed the girl's hand and pulled it up.

More than a dozen people got on the truck and drove away slowly, making the candidates on the ground envious.

Liu Qingshan's bicycle was also thrown into the bucket by him, and then came back together in a truck.

Dinner is ready in the cafeteria, just one table of boys and one table of girls.

When the food was served, these classmates were a little dumbfounded: Four cool, four hot, eight dishes are a bit high. It is estimated that the accommodation and food expenses given by the family will exceed the standard.

"I'm Qingshan's eldest sister Liu Jinfeng. Everyone is Qingshan and his little classmates. They are equivalent to my younger brothers and sisters. No one is allowed to see outsiders. They all treat this as their own home."

Liu Jinfeng smiled and said, and she has experienced many big scenes in the past two years.

Finally, she added:

"You can eat and live here with peace of mind. It's all free. Even if it's the college entrance examination blessing from my sister, try to get a good score in the test."

Seeing that some of the classmates wanted to say something, Liu Qingshan took over the conversation with a smile: "You don't have to be polite to my sister, anyway, it's such a big factory, and it's not enough to eat and drink."

The students thanked Liu Jinfeng one after another. Although they went to school, they also knew that the two most powerful factories in Bishui County were not those state-owned factories, but the unified instant noodle factory and the ham sausage factory.

Liu Jinfeng was also afraid that these little guys would be uncomfortable, so after saying hello, he said goodbye and left. The rest were classmates, so don't be polite and let's eat.

Not to mention, eating more people is fragrant, much more lively than Liu Qingshan and Zheng Xiaoxiao.

After eating, I walked around the backyard of the factory to digest and digest food. After dark, I would rest early.

Here, the conditions are much better, eat well, sleep soundly, and enter the examination room full of energy.

When the three-day exam was over, everyone had a lot of feelings for this place. Two girls even said to Liu Jinfeng, "Big sister, if we don't get into college, can we come to work here?"

Liu Jinfeng said with a smile on his face: "Of course there is no problem, I can't ask for it."

Most of their factories are junior high school graduates.

The torturous college entrance examination has finally ended, and many people have begun to vent, but Liu Qingshan has a peaceful mind, quietly packed up his things, and prepares to go home after completing his assessment and filling out his wishes tomorrow.

Of course, he did not forget to ask: "Little classmate, how did you arrange it?"

Zheng Xiaoxiao is also relatively calm, perhaps because she has a solid heart for the test results, she blinked her eyes twice: "I miss the fourth and fifth."

I knew you would say this, Liu Qingshan had expected it long ago, so he nodded with a smile, he knew that Zheng Xiaoxiao had regarded his home as his own.

This is really not because of Liu Qingshan, but because of Lin Zhi, because of the eldest sister, because of the fourth and fifth.

At this time, Liu Jinfeng came over to greet the two of them for dinner. After the college entrance examination, Xiaozao also ended, and they all ate a big pot of rice together.

Of course, the food in the factory is still good. Usually, every meal is two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetarian.

"Sanfeng, there is something I plan to tell you after you finish the college entrance examination."

When going to the cafeteria, Liu Jinfeng finally spoke.

Seeing Liu Qingshan nodding, she continued, "It's Hongying's side. She went to Hujiang to inspect the establishment of a branch, and only then did she know that an instant noodle factory has been established there."

"The factory also produces braised beef noodles, and the sales are very good. It has already occupied the market there. What should we do next?"

Liu Qingshan knew that competition was everywhere, so he asked with a smile, "Eldest sister, what are your plans?"

This is a bit of consideration. Liu Jinfeng's nose was also covered with a layer of fine sweat, and after thinking about it, he said:

"What Hongying and I mean is to build the factory according to the original plan. It's like a confrontation between the two armies. If you give in without fighting, how can you win."

Liu Qingshan felt that this was completely in line with the temperament of the two eldest sisters. In their bones, they all had an unwillingness to admit defeat, so he asked with a smile: "Then what?"

Then? Then it's just like the factory here and in Jinmen.

The corner of Liu Qingshan's mouth couldn't help but show a smile: The two elder sisters are brave, but they are still short of the ignition time, so he raised a question: "Don't you think about developing new flavors and new products?"

Going to compete on other people's turf is equivalent to grabbing meat from other people's mouths, so you have to have real skills.

Just relying on a braised beef noodle, obviously can not compete with others, after all, people occupy the right time and place.

"Yeah, why didn't we expect it!" Liu Jinfeng's phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, then turned around and ran towards the office:

"You guys go to dinner, I'll call Hongying."

Watching the eldest sister run away, Liu Qingshan also blinked: "The taste over there is different from ours. My suggestion is to produce Laotan Pickled Cabbage Noodles, which is sour, spicy and refreshing, which is more suitable for the taste there!"

Liu Jinfeng hurried back again: "Are the southerners happy to eat our northeastern sauerkraut?"

"Big sister, it's the sauerkraut from the south, which is different from ours."

Liu Qingshan briefly explained it, and Liu Jinfeng finally understood, and went to call Yang Hongying again.

After the college entrance examination is over, the score evaluation begins. According to the evaluation score, the volunteers are filled in. This is also a big difference from the later ones.

After they were all busy, Liu Qingshan and Zheng Xiaoxiao returned to Jiapigou.

In the principal's office, the bearded principal looked over the volunteers, and finally picked out two, it was Liu Qingshan and Zheng Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that Peking University and Huaqing were filled in respectively, President Xu showed a very gratifying smile on his face:

"Maybe, there will be a double cannon this year."
