Chapter 19 The College Entrance Examination is really coming!

There was a cool breeze on the way back, and there was no more heat like during the day.

Li Changhe was riding a bicycle in front, while Zhu Lin was sitting on the back seat, licking a popsicle.

That’s right, in addition to soda, Li Changhe also prepared popsicles in his bag.

Usually, when he didn't receive Zhu Lin's call, he would solve these problems on his own.

But today I was lucky enough to catch the real owner, and the popsicle inside fell into Zhu Lin's hands.

To be honest, hearing the sound of Zhu Lin sucking on his popsicle behind the bicycle, Li Changhe really wanted to look back.

But in the end, I stopped having these evil thoughts in my mind. After all, with the current progress of the strategy, I would be able to see it sooner or later.

"Li Changhe, why don't we go to the Summer Palace tomorrow?"

Zhu Lin, who was sitting in the back seat, seemed to have finished his popsicle and suddenly spoke to Li Changhe.

"Huh? You're not going to school tomorrow?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised.

"No, it's summer vacation now. We are already overdue. Once we come back, we will automatically have a vacation!"

"Besides, I have a lot of free time in the future. I have basically finished all my courses and will graduate next year!"

After hearing Zhu Lin's words, Li Changhe finally reacted.

Yes, Zhu Lin was actually a worker-peasant-soldier student. Their original academic period was three and a half years, but it was changed in the past few years to two to three years.

Zhu Lin’s program should be a two-year program!
"Okay, let's go tomorrow evening. It's close and the weather will be cooler."

Of course Li Changhe agreed, after all, it was Zhu Lin who took the initiative to invite him.

What does this mean? It means that the relationship between the two of us has taken a step further. In her heart, I am now at least her boyfriend!

As for the Summer Palace, it is actually just northwest of their family compound, only five or six kilometers away, and can be reached in a short bike ride.

So it’s not too late to go for a stroll in the afternoon!
"Just take a good rest in the morning."

Li Changhe had experienced the feeling of riding a train these days. It was definitely not comfortable, unless it was the soft sleeper car for high-ranking officials.

But it is impossible for people like Zhu Lin to sit in the soft sleeper car.

"it is good!"

Zhu Lin responded and then yawned again.

Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, feeling the cool breeze, her fatigue from the train ride began to show, and she slowly felt a little sleepy.

Baiyi Road is a wide road, a straight road without any bumps. Slowly, Zhu Lin grasped the corner of Li Changhe's clothes with one hand, gently leaned his head on his back, and closed his eyes.

Li Changhe, who was riding a bicycle, naturally felt the changes behind him first.

At this moment, the melody of an old song emerged in Li Changhe's mind.

“The night is beautiful and the wind is cool”

"I haven't smelled your hair for a long time"

"A shy face"

“I can’t help but hold it in my hands”

For Li Changhe, Ren Xianqi's "Whisper" is an old song in his mind.

In the family building, when Zhu Lin opened the door of his house and walked in carrying a travel bag, Professor Zhu and Doctor Liu were both shocked.

"Linlin?"

"Why are you back at this time?"

"You didn't even tell me you were coming back. It's so unsafe in the middle of the night!"

Liu Shuwan looked at Zhu Lin as he walked in and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

There is no public security at night these days. Not to mention the troublemakers in the capital, their family compound is strictly speaking a rural area in the suburbs.

It's so dangerous for a girl to come all the way from the train station.

"It's okay, Mom. Li Changhe picked me up."

Zhu Lin comforted Liu Shuwan and spoke gently.

"Li Changhe will pick you up, that's fine!"

"and many more?"

"How can it be possible if Li Changhe picks you up?"

"Why did he suddenly run to pick you up?"

"No, Linlin, are you two dating now?"

The term "finding a partner" is not popular these days. The general term for love between men and women is "dating."

Liu Shuwan also reacted at this moment. No wonder some neighbors had been asking her about it in a roundabout way these days.

After all, this was not the first or second time that Li Changhe had taken Zhu Lin on his bicycle, and many people had seen it.

Such a beautiful girl has long been a flower in their family compound, so naturally many old neighbors pay attention to her.

Zhu Lin was not shy at all, and said to her mother openly: "We are not in a relationship right now, but we are still in contact."

"But he's a nice guy, I feel pretty good about him!"

Zhu Lin felt that Li Changhe had not officially confirmed their relationship with her, so the two of them could not be considered friends now.

However, she did not hide her affection for Li Changhe.

"no!"

"Mom doesn't agree!" Liu Shuwan objected subconsciously.

Zhu Lin was not in a hurry, but calmly came to the sofa, sat down, and asked curiously: "Mom, you are very worried about me, why don't you agree now?"

"Yeah, I find it weird too!"

Professor Zhu also took off his glasses at this time, and said to Zhu Lin with a smile: "When your mother first met Li Changhe, she liked him very much and wanted to set you up on a blind date with him."

"It's only been a few months, why has she changed her mind?"

At this moment, Zhu Lin opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Shuwan. The slight sleepiness he had originally felt was immediately blown away by this gossip.

I never thought that my mother would have such thoughts?

"Oh, don't mention it. When I first saw Li Changhe, I really thought this guy was pretty good."

"He is tall and handsome. Both his parents work at the school. His father is a colleague of yours. They know each other well. His income is not low!"

"To put it bluntly, they are barely a good match for us!"

"But who would have thought that Li Changhe was such a screwball!"

"You said he has been back for more than half a year, but he doesn't go out to work and he's not in a hurry. He just stays at home every day, saying he's reading."

"It would be fine if there was no allocation!"

"You know what, I met someone from the commune the other day and found out that there was no allocation at all."

"He has already been assigned to a job at the State-owned Cotton Mill No. 2. This is a job for a state worker. What a good job!"

"In the end, he pushed it away and gave it to someone else!"

"Tell me, is there something wrong with his brain? He wants to do something else, a job in a state-owned enterprise? A job in a large collective? Or a job in the service industry?"

Nowadays, jobs are divided into three categories: service industry, large collectives, and state-owned factories, with state-owned factories having the highest status.

Once you enter the factory, you become a worker, part of the working class, the highest-end component, much better than large collectives and the service industry.

"I know you're going to refute me by saying that he can write articles, but how much money can he make from writing articles? Can he make money from writing articles for a lifetime?"

"Isn't it because you have eaten the last meal and don't have the next one?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Linlin, you will be a cadre when you graduate. What will happen then? Will you still have to support him every day?"

Liu Shuwan seemed very angry when she said this.

Professor Zhu's expression turned serious.

"He has work arranged, but he refuses to go?"

If this is true, Li Changhe is having sneaky thoughts, and such a son-in-law is really not desirable.

"I know this. Li Changhe talked to me about it!"

When Zhu Lin heard this, he naturally understood his parents' concerns and could only explain for Li Changhe.

"He talked to you. What did he say?"

Professor Zhu asked curiously at this time.

"He is actually waiting for the college entrance examination, because he thinks that the country will definitely resume the college entrance examination, and he wants to go to university through the college entrance examination!"

Zhu Lin said seriously.

"He still wants to go to college? He's dreaming. Now the workers, peasants and soldiers are recommending him. With his background, how can he..."

When Liu Shuwan heard Zhu Lin's words, she couldn't help but curl her lips and refute, saying that it was not easy to get a place recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers.

At this moment, Professor Zhu was stunned.

"Old Zhu, what do you think?"

Seeing that Professor Zhu stopped talking, Liu Shuwan immediately asked him, wanting him to explain to Zhu Lin how difficult it was to go to college these days.

But Professor Zhu sighed and said seriously, "Does he really think so?"

"Well, he talked to me a few months ago. Li Changhe believes that the current way of recruiting college students is wrong. The quality of students varies greatly. This model is not good for the country, so the college entrance examination will definitely be restored."

"Dad, do you think what he said is wrong?"

Zhu Lin looked at his father's expression at this time, which seemed a little solemn, as if he knew something.

"No, he is absolutely right, very insightful!"

Professor Zhu said seriously at this time.

"what?"

"Old Zhu, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that the country is going to resume the college entrance examination?"

Liu Shuwan was also shocked at this time.

"It's not about reinstating it, but it's already being pushed forward. We just had a meeting a few days ago, and now the Ministry of Education has begun compiling draft opinions and is preparing to submit them to the top leadership."

"Once the top leaders approve it, this matter will probably be announced nationwide!"

As a full professor, Professor Zhu was naturally qualified to attend the science and education symposium held a few days ago, and he was certainly very clear about the main contents of the symposium.

According to my daughter, Li Changhe had been preparing for this several months ago. Or to be more precise, judging from his behavior, he had been preparing for this since the educated youth returned to the city.

Does this kid have such an extraordinary vision?
You have to know that the college entrance examination was only promoted after the old man's comeback, and it has only been about a month.

"This kid really bumped into him!"

Liu Shuwan also said awkwardly at this time.

Obviously, she had just acted like a clown.

At this moment, Zhu Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and he was inexplicably happy!
