Chapter 50 Sign up!

The canteens back then were not as elaborate as those in later times.

It's basically just long benches and tables, but the space is quite large.

After finding a table, Li Changhe sat down calmly, and then Zhu Lin took the initiative to go to the window to queue up for food.

After Li Changhe sat down, some people sitting around him kept looking at him.

This cafeteria is considered to be the internal cafeteria of the medical school. Most of the people eating there are students of the medical school, especially some boys.

Although the workers, peasants and soldiers college students are generally older, being older does not mean they are married.

Many students in the college have ideas about Zhu Lin, a young and beautiful girl.

According to the words of later generations, Zhu Lin must be the white moonlight in the hearts of so many people here.

And now, their white moonlight actually took the initiative to help the man get food.

Then the man enjoyed Zhu Lin's service with peace of mind.

It’s true. My back teeth are all broken.

In comparison, there were always some female classmates walking in groups past or in front of Li Changhe.

Then when passing by, he quickly glanced at Li Changhe, looked at his appearance, and satisfied his desire to watch the show.

Soon, Zhu Lin came over with an enamel teacup and steamed buns, and placed them in front of Li Changhe.

"We're lucky today. The cafeteria has stewed potatoes with braised pork. Our chef is very good at making this dish. You should try it."

Li Changhe took a curious look at the food in the teacup. Wow, there were a few potatoes in the full bowl of braised pork.

Is this the dish cooked by the cafeteria chef?

“Is the food in your cafeteria so good?”

Li Changhe said with some emotion.

"Since the second half of the year, there are more meat and vegetables in the cafeteria. After all, we are a foreign-related hospital and sometimes we see foreigners. The cafeteria is better than outside."

Zhu Lin explained to Li Changhe with a smile, without stopping his hands.

"Give!"

He handed his chopsticks to Li Changhe. After all, there were no disposable tableware in the cafeteria these days, and everyone had to use their own tableware.

"I use chopsticks, what do you use?"

Li Changhe asked with a smile.

Zhu Lin picked up the spoon next to him and shook it in front of Li Changhe.

"Stupid, I can just use a spoon."

"Eat quickly, it will cool down in a while."

Zhu Lin pushed the teacup forward, and Li Changhe picked up a piece of potato and started eating.

“It tastes really good.”

Li Changhe praised, then started eating while holding the steamed bun in one hand and the dishes in the other.

As for those gazes like knives falling on Li Changhe, Li Changhe didn't mind at all.

"Oh, I haven't looked carefully yet. When will the college entrance examination be held?"

Before Zhu Lin had time to read the newspaper, Li Changhe arrived and she hurried out.

Haven't looked at the above content carefully yet.

"They said it would be a month later, but I guess it would be December at the latest."

"The assessment conditions are quite relaxed. The age limit has been relaxed to 30 years old, and there is no limit on marriage. Workers, farmers, educated youth, soldiers and serving cadres can all sign up."

"There is also a requirement of high school graduation or equivalent, but I don't think this condition will be very strict, after all, many of the old third-year students graduated from junior high school."

"In the end, it's political innocence, but the review will mainly focus on one's performance, breaking the theory of class background."

Li Changhe told Zhu Lin the information published in the newspaper, and Zhu Lin nodded thoughtfully.

"In this case, it seems that some people with bad backgrounds can also take the college entrance examination."

"To be honest, it depends on luck." Li Changhe said with emotion.

In his previous life, he had read a report that the son of a certain founding father also wanted to take the college entrance examination this year, but was stuck in the political review.

Finally, he wrote a letter directly to the old man and sent it to the capital, and then he got a special quota and the opportunity to take the exam.

But people like him are a minority after all. I am afraid that there are still many educated youth with bad backgrounds who will be blocked by local cadres from registering for the college entrance examination.

This was also the reason why Li Changhe went to Hulin County in person before. He had to help his elder sister Li Xiaojun to arrange some relationships in advance.

But I guess it will be better next year.

"With only a month's time, I guess many educated youth don't have time to review."

Zhu Lin then said with emotion that the notice had been issued and the exam would be held in more than a month, leaving only about a month in between.

The problem is that October is still the autumn harvest season in many places, and some places will not end production until early to mid-November.

If you calculate it this way, the local educated youth have no time to review their lessons.

Li Changhe also nodded: "Yes, there is one more thing, it is textbooks. Not many educated youth have teaching textbooks now!"

Therefore, the state later issued a notice that all students who registered for the college entrance examination could take half a month, or fifteen days, off from work to review their lessons.

It is estimated that the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", which is regarded as a masterpiece of science, will soon be dug out by a printing factory and reprinted.

After they finished eating, they went to the sink in the cafeteria together, cleaned the teacups, and then left the cafeteria together.

In fact, after leaving the cafeteria, Li Changhe looked at the sky and knew that it was time for him to leave.

"Did you come here by car?"

Zhu Lin also took a look at the sky and knew that it was almost time.

"Um"

Li Changhe nodded, he hadn't bought a bicycle yet.

"Why don't you ride my bike back and pick me up tomorrow? It's only one day anyway, and I don't ride."

Zhu Lin's bicycle also goes to school and he rides it every day.

"also"

Li Changhe didn't worry about it. The weather was cool now, so he could ride a bicycle. The only downside was that there were too many mosquitoes on the road.

These days there are mosquitoes gathering in groups on the road, but fortunately Zhu Lin got Li Changhe a mask that can block them.

The next day, Saturday, Li Changhe rode his bicycle to the commune and handed in the registration form.

By the way, for this year's college entrance examination, everyone has to pay a registration fee of 5 cents.

Li Changhe is now an educated youth who has returned to his hometown. His parents have been released from investigation and have resumed work long ago. Therefore, although his political review is under investigation, the risk is not very high.

After registering, it was still early for Zhu Lin to finish school in the afternoon, and Li Changhe had no intention of typing anymore, so he simply rode his bike and came to Old Zhang's courtyard again.

For once, Old Zhang was not in the yard, so Li Changhe walked to the recliner and lay down leisurely.

Old man Zhang does have some tricks up his sleeve. There is a sachet hanging behind the rocking chair. The scent is very light and I don’t know how it was mixed, but it is very effective in repelling mosquitoes.

No wonder he was not afraid of mosquito bites even though he lay under the tree all day.

Not long after, Old Man Zhang pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Li Changhe lying on his rocking chair, he was not angry, but spoke to Li Changhe in surprise.

"You are amazing, you have really restored the college entrance examination."

Before, he just regarded Li Changhe as a unique young man, different from other young people of that era.

But now it seems that Li Changhe's vision is indeed extraordinary.

"Yeah, so I have bad news for you."

"Don't forget our bet. When you can sell this yard in the future, remember to sell it to me."

Li Changhe said leisurely, and Zhang Shiqi was slightly stunned after hearing it.

He had completely forgotten about this. This kid was still thinking about his house.

Oh no, he even said it for the college entrance examination, so this house will not really be allowed to be bought and sold in the future, right?
　I modified the previous chapter about the courtyard to make it more consistent!
