Chapter 65 These are all our own people
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Li Changhe slept in.

I have nothing to do today and I can't find a girlfriend.

After all, it was the second day of the Chinese New Year, and Zhu Lin's family went to visit relatives and returned to his grandfather's house.

After Li Changhe got up, he was bored and didn't want to write.

After thinking for a while, he got dressed and prepared to go out.

"It's New Year's Day, where are you going?"

Shen Yuxiu was sitting on the sofa, and when she saw Li Changhe was about to go out, she asked curiously.

"I'll go to town and see why the acceptance letters haven't been sent out yet."

Li Changhe remembered the college entrance examination in 77. Generally, people would receive the admission notice in January or February. But he didn’t know why his hadn’t been sent out yet.
"Okay then, watch out on the road!"

There was still snow on the road outside, so Li Changhe didn't ride a bicycle, but just walked there.

Anyway, young guys nowadays are strong and healthy.

After walking for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the center of the town. Li Changhe planned to go to the Education Office to ask.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a few people busy at the gate.

On the outer wall of the door, several people were pasting a large newspaper on the wall.

Li Changhe took a look and thought, wow, it’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, the post was exactly the notification list.

This list is not an admission list, but a list of qualified candidates in the area who are going for physical examination.

The first name at the top is Li Changhe.

"Hello, comrade. I want to ask, can the people on this list just go to the hospital for a physical examination?"

Li Changhe came forward and wanted to confirm the details.

A young man wearing a Lei Feng hat turned his head and looked at Li Changhe, sizing him up.

"Yeah, your name is on it?"

"Yes, I just wanted to ask today and saw your post."

Li Changhe nodded and replied.

"That's great. You save us the trouble of notifying the candidates. May I ask which candidate you are?"

Hearing that Li Changhe was on the list, the young man immediately became enthusiastic.

Those on the list are prospective college students, or in other words, prospective cadres.

Moreover, these college student cadres have much better prospects than grassroots officials like them.

"Li Changhe!"

"Hey, you are Li Changhe?"

"The one that appeared in the People's Daily?"

When the other party heard Li Changhe introduce himself, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“Uh, that should be me.”

"That's great, Comrade Li Changhe. You are the pride of our Haidian. I heard that you are the first in the liberal arts section of our Beijing college entrance examination this time."

The other party gave a thumbs up and said to Li Changhe.

These days a lot of information cannot be kept secret at all. Although they told the public that the scores would not be announced, they had already spread among the insiders long ago.

What's more, Li Changhe is the glory of the Haidian Education Office.

"Come on, come in, follow me and get the medical examination form, then go to the hospital for a physical examination. Once we report it, your notification letter will be issued."

With the other party's warm hospitality, Li Changhe quickly got the physical examination form.

At the same time, I also learned from the other party's vague hints that unless I had a serious illness that could not be concealed, there would be absolutely no problem with my physical examination.

Obviously, the Education Commission has already informed the hospital.

After all, if you are a candidate who scored the highest in the liberal arts in the college entrance examination and was featured in the People's Daily, and you say that you were rejected in the physical examination, that would be a real joke.

With this hint from the other party, Li Changhe was too lazy to talk to his mother-in-law. He just took the medical examination form and admission ticket and went to the hospital in Haidian Town.

As expected, I passed the physical examination smoothly without any problems at all.

Li Changhe took the stamped physical examination report and sent it back to the Education Commission.

"Just wait, the notice will be here soon."

It's hard to say for others, but the Education Commission is still paying close attention to Li Changhe's information. After all, he got the highest score in liberal arts and was admitted to Peking University, which is in Haidian.

To be realistic, everyone in the group is ours, so it would be difficult to prevent him from failing the exam.

Of course, Li Changhe didn't know at this moment that someone at Peking University wanted to change his major.

If he knew, Li Changhe would be so angry that he would run over and beat that idiot in the head.

Fortunately, Li Changhe didn't know. After leaving the Education Commission Office, Li Changhe thought that he was out anyway, so he hummed a little tune and walked towards the courtyard.

"The peach leaves are so pointed, and the willow leaves cover the sky. Grandpa Ming, listen carefully to what I have to say."

Nowadays, singing has its own rules. Many songs from previous lives are considered decadent in this era and people dare not sing them clearly. However, there is no big problem with "Exploring Qingshui River".

Because "Exploring Qingshui River" is a folk song from Haidian, and the Indigo Factory and the Firearms Camp are just to the west of the town center.

Humming a little tune, Li Changhe quickly arrived at the courtyard, pushed open the door and walked in.

But after entering, Li Changhe was slightly stunned.

There were couplets posted at the door, but the snow in the yard hadn't been cleared and things hadn't been tidied up, so it looked a bit shabby.

There is no festive atmosphere in the small courtyard.

Li Changhe came to Old Man Zhang's main room thoughtfully, pushed open the door, and found that Zhang Shiqi seemed to have not gotten up yet and was still lying on the bed.

On the eight-immortals table in the middle, there was a bottle of wine, a plate of peanuts, a few steamed buns, and a dish of pickles.

"Who?"

Zhang Shiqi, who was lying on the bed, seemed to hear some noise and asked loudly with his back turned.

Li Changhe sighed: "It's me!"

"It's Chinese New Year, and you're eating this at home?"

At this time, Zhang Shiqi turned over and sat up.

"Just make do with what you have. I'm alone anyway, do I need to be so elaborate?"

Zhang Shiqi said indifferently.

Li Changhe knew that although Old Man Zhang usually acted indifferent and lived a carefree life.

But the closer it gets to this kind of festival, the more unhappy I feel.

My son is missing, my daughter is gone, my parents and my spouse are all gone. I am truly alone and lonely.

"Well, I'll make some food for lunch and we can have a drink."

Li Changhe could understand Zhang Shiqi's loneliness, because sometimes he was also quite lonely in this world.

Many times I feel out of tune with this era, yet I have to hide myself carefully.

"It's done!"

Afterwards, Li Changhe went to the kitchen and looked at the things inside. It was okay, with meat and vegetables.

His cooking skills are average, so naturally he can't make anything delicious.

Put the small iron pot on the small stove in the house, pour water in it, then cut and chop a cabbage and sprinkle it in, then cut and chop the meat and throw it in, and add some seasoning and salt.

Stew the meat in a big pot, just eat it.

Seeing Li Changhe's actions, Zhang Shiqi, wearing a thick cotton jacket, was speechless.

"I thought you were so capable, but you're just a mess."

"Have you ever tried the famous Northeastern dish, pork stewed with vermicelli? We don't have vermicelli, so why not try a variation of pork stewed with Chinese cabbage?"

"But I see you have quite a complete kitchen!"

Li Changhe said to Zhang Shiqi while cooking the stew in the pot.

"I give my girl 10 yuan for food every month. She buys food for me, and the rest is her errand fee."

"I don't care what she buys anyway."

"By the way, it's already February. How did you do in the college entrance examination? Did you get into Peking University?"

Zhang Shiqi also sat next to the stove at this time and asked Li Changhe weakly.

　Thanks to the three big guys, Dream Direction is Called Chuang, Book Friend 20210301106570971528, and Book Friend 20170608150747831, for their rewards. I bow in gratitude!
