Chapter 2 The top of the world, I want to see it!
"Long river!"

Not long after, a woman who was both familiar and unfamiliar in Li Changhe's memory appeared in a hurry at the school gate.

It was familiar because that was how he remembered it.

The reason why she felt strange was that she had aged so much.

In my memory, my mother Shen Yuxiu is only about 46 or 47 years old this year, but now she looks like an old lady in her 50s.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Just come back."

"Let's go home!"

Shen Yuxiu's eyes were filled with tears.

Then he took Li Changhe's hand and said to the security officer at the door: "Officer Chen, this is my son. I will take him to get a pass later."

Afterwards, Shen Yuxiu took Li Changhe back home.

After entering the house, they naturally talked to each other from the heart. After all, the mother and son had not seen each other for seven or eight years.

Until I saw Li Changhe yawn.

"Well, look at me, I can't stop talking to you. I even forgot that you just came back from your journey."

"You must be tired from the train ride. I have cleaned up your room for you. Go in and have a good sleep."

"Mom will go buy groceries later, and we'll make shredded pork noodles tonight!"

Eating dumplings when getting on the bus and noodles when getting off is the tradition of the older generation. Now that Li Changhe has returned home safely, of course he wants a bowl of hot noodles.

Li Changhe was indeed tired. Taking a train in that era was not as comfortable as taking a high-speed train in later generations.

Taking a train is very tiring these days. The train goes slowly, there is a strong odor, the air circulation is poor, and the train is crowded.

Then Li Changhe came to his room.

Now that my father Li Lishan has resumed work, he has been assigned the rank of Level 4 associate professor, which is considered a high level among associate professors.

Because Li Lishan is an associate professor of science and engineering, his salary is better than that of liberal arts professors of the same level.

Yanjing itself is a Category 207 region with relatively high wages. Li Lishan now earns yuan a month.

The same is true for the allocation of housing.

Li Changhe's current home is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment of over 60 square meters, with a toilet and kitchen.

In this era, it is already very high-quality housing, much better than the tube-shaped buildings.

Lying on the bed, Li Changhe soon fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already dark outside.

This sleep was the most comfortable sleep Li Changhe had ever had since his rebirth.

When Li Changhe came out of the house, the dim light in the living room was already on.

"My son is awake!"

"I'm going to cook noodles."

Shen Yuxiu and Li Lishan were sitting in the living room talking. When they saw Li Changhe coming out, they immediately stood up and went to the kitchen.

Li Lishan and Li Changhe looked at each other. The father and son had not seen each other for many years.

"sit!"

Since ancient times, a strict father and a kind mother have always been the standard configuration of Chinese families, and fathers like Li Lishan who major in science and engineering are such a typical example.

He was not strict, but when facing Li Changhe and his sister when they were young, he was often silent.

Li Changhe sat down, and Li Lishan asked calmly: "I read your letter of introduction. You are returning due to illness."

"Are you okay?"

Li Changhe nodded: "It's nothing serious. I was just a little dazed at the time, but they were worried, so they just gave me sick leave. I will report to the Youth League Office tomorrow."

In those days, educated youth who returned to the city due to illness had to report to the Educated Youth Office, and then their household registration could be transferred back.

"So what are your plans next?"

For educated youth like Li Changhe who retired due to illness, they will not be arranged to work immediately after returning, and will have to be unemployed at home. "Let's take it one step at a time. I'm really retired due to illness. I'll see if there is any good arrangement in the street, and I'll also look for a suitable job myself."

Li Changhe said softly.

In fact, Li Changhe already had a plan in mind.

Although he had not experienced this era, he was a senior lover of period literature in his previous life and had a certain understanding of this era.

During the days of preparing to return to the city, he had actually been making plans for himself based on the memories and cognition in his mind.

A lot of things happened in 1977, one of the most important things was the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Li Changhe’s goal is the college entrance examination!
Some things must be prepared in advance, so Li Changhe set his sights on the college entrance examination.

This is an excellent channel that can enable him to reach the sky and cross the class in one step.

There is a saying in the previous life that the most top-level person many people can come into contact with in their lifetime is actually their university tutor.

In the period of 1977, Li Changhe could be said to be more than just a mentor.

At this time of year, those students who can get into college will become prominent figures in the future, and most of them will not be lost in the crowd.

In this great era, Li Changhe also wants to climb higher and look farther, reach the top of human society and see the scenery.

However, the news about the college entrance examination has not leaked out yet, and there has been no announcement that the college entrance examination will be resumed. It is impossible for Li Changhe to "foresee" and prepare for the college entrance examination.

"Well, go to the Youth League Office tomorrow and ask. I can also ask around at school to see if there are any temporary jobs that I can arrange for you!"

Li Lishan also nodded at this time.

"The noodles are here, you two stop talking and eat while they're hot!"

At this time, Shen Yuxiu also came out of the kitchen carrying noodles.

In addition, she also made a luxurious dish of braised pork ribs. This was the first time that Li Changhe had eaten meat after his rebirth.

Li Changhe immediately started eating with big mouthfuls. The way he devoured the food made Li Lishan and his wife feel mixed emotions.

This child has suffered!

While Li Changhe was eating meat, in another house upstairs from his home, Dr. Liu and his wife, whom Li Changhe met today, were also sitting at the dining table eating.

"Old Zhu, the youngest son of the Lishan family is back today!"

Doctor Liu was eating and chatting at this time.

"The educated youth are returning to the city?"

A curious look appeared on the husband's face.

Doctor Liu nodded and said, "I heard from Yuxiu that this kid was injured while saving people while repairing the reservoir over there. The local government appreciated his contribution and gave him medical retirement."

"Is everyone alright?"

Dr. Liu's husband asked with concern.

"I met him today. He looked like nothing happened to him. He was polite, 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked handsome and handsome!"

"I remember Yuxiu told me before that her boy was born in 55. So, he would be years old this year!"

Dr. Liu said excitedly.

Professor Zhu finally discovered his wife's intention at this moment. It was obvious that there was something else behind her words.

"I understand you to mean this?"

Doctor Liu looked at her dull husband and couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you say?"

"Linlin of our family is already 25 years old this year. She can no longer be considered a grown-up girl. This..."

Just as Dr. Liu was about to continue speaking, the door of the house suddenly opened.

Then a bright-eyed young woman with simple clothes and short hair opened the door and walked in. Her pretty face brightened up the whole room.

"Mom, I'm back!"
