Chapter 52 The exam begins in the cold winter!
In the next few days, Li Changhe continued to review and often went to the commune to check his registration status.

He didn't feel relieved until he finally confirmed his name on the recruitment list at the HD District Committee Admissions Office.

There is no way. In this era, data entry is entirely done manually. Someone may make a mistake or have a random thought that may get you stuck.

Li Changhe had nothing to do at home anyway, so all he had to do was make a few more trips.

Because the college entrance examination was approaching, Zhu Lin didn't let Li Changhe visit her during the day, and he only needed to pick her up on weekends.

Li Changhe also took this opportunity to plunge into the final review sprint, and he had no problem with mathematics.

However, he can still strengthen his knowledge of politics, language, history and geography.

Especially in politics, Li Changhe really needs to practice some writing styles of this era, especially the style of inserting quotations in answers.

Li Changhe also thought of a solution to this problem, which was to copy newspapers.

There were still many old newspapers in the office of the Industrial College. Shen Yuxiu, who was in charge of logistics, took advantage of her job to bring a lot of them back to Li Changhe.

Even though sometimes he was impatient with studying, Li Changhe would just go out for a walk and then go home to continue studying.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. He has been preparing for more than half a year since his rebirth, and he will not allow himself to fall down at the last moment.

At the same time, many young people throughout the capital city also went crazy because of the college entrance examination, including many young people who had jobs.

Especially when Shanghai boldly reprinted the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", it immediately triggered a frenzy among young people in Beijing.

Some people lined up at the door of the bookstore for whole nights, waiting to buy this set of books.

It was at this time that Li Changhe suddenly realized how incredible his luck was in finding those remaining stocks in the warehouse of the Xinhua Bookstore in Haidian.

In the future history, this "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" is the knowledge bible that has saved many people who are determined to take the college entrance examination in this era.

But in fact, in this era, the publishing house in Shanghai took great risks to reprint this set of books.

Because the "two whatevers" policy is still being implemented throughout the country, this set of books does not constitute safety books.

I don’t know which big brother showed mercy more than ten years ago, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and left those banned books in the bookstore warehouse in the HD area.

All in all, Li Changhe decided to find an opportunity to go to a temple and burn incense for that person in a few years.

Although he was a "firm" communist fighter, he felt that there was a divine will in this matter, and he wanted to pray for the unknown elder brother or sister.

As time went by, the weather gradually turned colder, and Li Changhe also saw more news about the college entrance examination from some newspapers.

Because this year's recovery was temporary and an emergency situation, many places were not well prepared at all.

In addition, students can set their own questions and mark the papers independently.

In some areas, there are too many applicants and the quality of candidates varies greatly, so a pre-examination system has been introduced. That is, before the formal college entrance examination, an examination is taken first to eliminate those with poor scores.

However, there are places that do not have this system. For example, in the capital, there is no such thing as a preliminary examination.

Li Changhe remembered that in a few years, it seemed that this preliminary examination system would be implemented nationwide to screen out a group of people in advance.

Autumn came, the leaves turned yellow until they fell completely, and then the capital city entered a cold winter.

Li Changhe's clothes also changed from a shirt to a thick cotton coat.

At the same time, he also felt the heating of this era.

That’s right, Li Changhe’s family’s building has collective heating, and the school’s boiler room is a benefit provided to professors in that era.

In comparison, Zhang Shiqi's courtyard house could only use the gas stove.

But gas stoves also have their advantages, such as being able to roast sweet potatoes.

Sometimes when Li Changhe was really bored, he would run to the courtyard and roast a sweet potato on the hot stove, throwing a handful of peanuts next to it and roasting it until it was crispy.

It did help him regain some of the feeling of his childhood in his previous life. This was also how the rural hometowns of the post-90s generation lived.

As the days passed, Li Changhe was also notified to fill in his application form.

In this year's college entrance examination, each candidate was only allowed to fill in three choices, and Li Changhe filled in Peking University's Department of Political Economy for all three choices.

For him, if he could not get into the Economics Department of Peking University, all his subsequent plans would be disrupted.

This firm choice even shocked the teachers who reviewed the applications. In 1977, the college entrance examination in Beijing was scheduled for October, November and December.

But for Li Changhe, he actually only took the exam for two days.

There will be a political science exam in the morning of the 10th, and a history and geography exam in the afternoon.

There will be a math test in the morning on the 11th and a Chinese test in the afternoon.

The test on the 12th is foreign language, which is an additional subject. Only those who apply to foreign language colleges will take this subject.

On December 12th, Li Changhe got up early, and not long after, there was a knock on the door.

That day was Saturday. Zhu Lin deliberately took a day off from school and then came to Li Changhe's house early.

"Are everything packed?"

"Have you brought your admission ticket and other things?"

"Eat something light in the morning, don't eat too much or too greasy food"

Zhu Lin was whispering instructions beside her. At this time, she was completely immersed in a certain role.

"Don't worry, everything is packed."

"Besides, the examination room is at Renmin University High School, very close."

Less than 2 kilometers north of the Industrial College is Renmin University High School, which used to belong to Renmin University, but Renmin University was closed down a few years ago for well-known reasons, and the ownership of Renmin University High School was transferred to the Haidian Education and Science Commission.

The examination venue assigned by Li Changhe was at Renmin University High School.

"Even if you are close, you can't be careless. This is a matter that will determine your life."

Zhu Lin spoke softly to Li Changhe.

I don’t know why, she didn’t take it so seriously even when she was in medical school.

"Row!"

The two finished their breakfast and then set off on their bicycles.

As for Li Changhe's parents, after seeing Zhu Lin coming, they went to work as if nothing had happened.

The college entrance examination is nothing to them.

According to Shen Yuxiu, you have been reviewing at home for so long, if you still fail the exam you would be a fool.

Dad Li Lishan was even more amazing, with just one sentence.

If you fail the exam this year, you can just take it again next year.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the two people left home after breakfast and rode their bicycles to the gate of Renmin University High School.

At this time, hundreds of people had already gathered here.

These were all young men preparing to take the college entrance examination. Some of them had untidy beards. Li Changhe could tell at a glance that they were definitely over the age limit.

But then again, in the era of manual review, many regulations are not that strict.

Those who are brave enough to register are basically successful, but those who are timid and dare not register will be rejected due to the rules.

"Go to the courtyard and wait for me. It's cold outside. Just come and pick me up when the time comes."

Li Changhe looked at the huge crowd and spoke softly to Zhu Lin.

This place is only about a thousand meters away from the courtyard, very close.

"it is good!"

After watching Zhu Lin leave, Li Changhe walked into the examination room.

At nine o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the sound of a whistle, the college entrance examination of 1977 officially began.

　I’ll post both chapters together and continue to ask for data support!
