Traveling back to 1977

Chapter 459 Adjustment
The first to arrive were not the test takers.

Xiao Liewen had already run over here when the broadcast started.

Today, the Zhang family went to the Yang family to propose marriage, but he didn't join in the fun. In addition, he had been working for a long time, and just then, a sudden heavy snow fell, and the brigade headquarters gave them a day off, so he stayed at home waiting for news. When the loudspeaker blared, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Based on the timing, regardless of whether the talks were successful or not, they should have been having lunch at the Yang family's house by now. Moreover, since they heard on the radio that the talks were successful, why would Xiao Chen run back?
Surely they couldn't have come back specifically to broadcast a blessing message, could they?

Without saying a word, he immediately rushed to the brigade headquarters.

When he reached the broadcasting station in the backyard and saw a group of people on the second-floor corridor, just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Chen Fan broadcast the second message.

Now I understand everything!

As soon as Chen Fan turned off the broadcast, Xiao Liewen immediately squeezed in, "Where's the admission notice? Let me see it quickly."

Secretary Yang pointed to a stack of letters on the table and said casually, "Hey, they're all here."

He stepped aside with his hands behind his back and said to Xiao Liewen, who was eagerly looking at the letter, "Hey, be careful, don't tear it."

Captain Zhang chimed in, "This is someone's good news, don't tear it open!"

Xiao Liewen didn't even look up. "Am I that kind of person?!"

Then he pulled out a letter, held it in his hand, and said with a beaming smile, "This is my nephew's letter. I'll take it to him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several people rushed into the backyard. Zhang Wenliang, leaning on the railing, shouted, "Xiao Yimin, your admission notice is in your third uncle's hands."

A loud shout snapped Xiao Liewen out of his reverie. He grabbed the letter and started walking out, yelling, "What are you all doing crowding here? Let's go, let's go to the front!"

Secretary Yang quickly gathered the letters on the table, and Chen Fan pulled one out, turned around and handed it to Zhang Cuie behind him, smiling, "Take a look, is it your first choice?"

At this moment, Zhang Wenliang walked in, looking at the admission notice with a nervous expression.

This morning, Chen Fan said there had been some problems with their previous admissions. Before he could even ask about it, he was dragged off to propose marriage, and he still doesn't know what's going on.

Chen Fan handed the letter to Zhang Cuie, then turned to him and smiled, “Some time ago I asked someone to help me find out about their admission situation. An Ge and his wife were admitted normally without any trouble, but Xiao’e and the others, especially Xiao’e, Huang Ying, Yang Ju and Liu Dan, reportedly caused a huge uproar at the provincial admissions office.”

They all applied to schools in the capital and were all admitted with high scores, but schools in our province are unwilling to let them go easily. Even the admissions office leaders came out to help cover for them, hoping to keep one or two in our province.

After so many years of gaps in college entrance examination results, many schools are short of outstanding students, especially prestigious schools like Jiangnan University, which are hoping to recruit more good students to restore their former glory.

However, Tsinghua and Peking University are not to be trifled with. Their situation is even worse than that of Jiangnan University. For example, the vice president of Tsinghua University said that they are like primary and secondary school students. If they do not seize the opportunity to catch up, their reputation as the number one university in science and engineering will probably become a joke. Therefore, they also attach great importance to outstanding students.

Anyway, when I inquired about the situation, they were still arguing over it. It was quite a big deal at the time; not only could I not get involved, but even the leaders in the education department didn't dare to get involved. They could only wait for the outcome.

Later, some students from that year recalled that many of them scored high marks but were unable to attend the universities they had applied to. Instead, they were "voluntarily" assigned to schools they had never applied to.

The true reasons are now impossible to verify, but the possibility of schools "poaching" students cannot be ruled out.

Those candidates almost all thought that they would be lucky to get into university, and since they had no way to find out where to go, they ended up getting into university in a daze.

Therefore, during this year's less-than-standard college entrance examination, anything could happen!
If it weren't for the competition for Zhang Cuie and the others, who are all top-tier universities in the country, Chen Fan might have used his pen as a weapon to seek justice for his students.

At this moment, Chen Fan saw that Zhang Cuie had already opened the letter and was covering her mouth with tears in her eyes, so he turned to her and asked, "Xiao'e, which school is it?"

Zhang Cuie handed him the admission notice, her face a mixture of tears and laughter, "Teacher, it's Peking University!"

Chen Fan immediately stood up, took the admission notice, and laughed heartily, "Good, good, good! In the end, Peking University still won!"

Zhang Cuie applied to the Chinese Language and Culture major in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University, which is commonly known as the Chinese major. At that time, this major was considered the "best" in Peking University. Getting into the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University meant you could "stand out" for at least 20 years!
Chen Fan returned the notification to Zhang Cuie, smiling with satisfaction, "Xiao'e, congratulations, your future is bright!"

Zhang Cuie held the letter in her arms, staring blankly at Chen Fan, then suddenly bowed deeply, "Thank you, Master."

Chen Fan helped her up and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite. Study hard in the future, strive to achieve something, and contribute to the country."

Zhang Cuie nodded repeatedly, her excitement gradually subsiding, and her face was full of smiles.

Zhang Xiuyue looked at her cousin with envy in her eyes.

Unfortunately, she was a poor student. She could only get by in Chinese, and no matter how hard she studied, she could never get a high score in math. She was truly destined not to go to university.

However, she was already very lucky to be able to take over her cousin's job as a broadcaster with the help of her family. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

……

When Chen Fan and his group returned to the front yard, they found that five teams had already received their admission notices in the office.

Team 5 had a total of 3 people who were admitted to university: two girls and one boy. The boy was Xiao Yimin, the veterinarian from Team 5. The two girls were Zhang Cuie and another girl who was attending a training course.

Chen Fan didn't pay attention to her name, but from their cheerful discussion, he knew that she had been admitted to Beijing Normal University.

Beijing Normal University is one of the 88 key universities this year, and one of only two key normal universities, the other being East China Normal University.

At this moment, Chen Fan remembered that among all the applicants to schools outside the province, she was the first to be admitted. It was a key university and a teacher training college. Even the provincial admissions office had no power to resist, and Beijing Normal University directly took away her file.

At that time, the files of Zhang Cuie and the other three were still hidden by the admissions office, which was arguing with Tsinghua and Peking University along with Jiangnan University.

Once the first one arrived, others quickly followed.

Team 5 had the advantage of geographical location; the first team to arrive was Team 6, which was the closest to them.

Master Liu drove the car himself, pulling Huang Ying and the other two at high speed. Ahead of them were Yang Zhijun and Yang Chuanfu, who were riding horses.

Team 6 had the most accepted students this time, a total of 4 people. Yang Chuanfu rushed to the brigade headquarters, arrogantly threw down the reins without even tying them up, and strode in with an air of arrogance. "Where's our Team 6's acceptance letter? We have 4 people from Team 6, all 4 of them passed the exam, our Team 6..." Zhang Guangwen, the captain of Team 5 and Zhang Wenliang's biological father, crawled out of the office and laughed and scolded, "That's enough, you keep talking about Team 6, Team 6, but you only got 4 people accepted. If it weren't for Xiao Chen living in Team 6, you would have been grateful if you had even gotten one, let alone 4!"

Yang Chuanfu swaggered into the house, lightly brushed the snow off his shoulders, and held his head high with an arrogant expression. "Hmph, Xiao Chen is from our Team 6. I'm taking advantage of this, so what? Anyway, our Team 6 has four college students. I'll make you furious!"

Zhang Guangwen grimaced, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

Yang Chuanfu continued to provoke, "Don't tell me you don't want to take advantage. Isn't your Xiao'e taking advantage of Xiao Chen working here? If Xiao Chen lived in Team 5, would you dare say you wouldn't send someone over?"

"I, I, I..."

Zhang Guangwen said "I" a few times, then shouted, "I'll send six, no, nine!"

As soon as he said that, everyone inside and outside the house burst into laughter.

Zhang Guangwen then realized what was happening and pretended to look down on him, saying, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless! Xiao Chen is right at the door, and you only sent three people over. If you had sent more, not only your Team 6, but our Lujiawan Brigade would have had a few more college students, okay!"

Yang Chuanfu's old face immediately fell down.

He still felt a bit wronged. When he sent people over, wasn't it to prevent a young man and woman from getting intimate? He could have just sent a few people to stay there. Why would he send a whole group of people over?

Besides, the three giants of those six teams had their own agendas at the time. The more people there were, the fewer opportunities they would have. Sending one person from each team was just right.

He even complained that the other two were superfluous.

Who knew the college entrance exam would be reinstated?!
Frustrated, Yang Chuanfu simply waved his hand and shouted, "Get out! You're just jealous!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Xiaoju, Xiaoying, Xiaodan, Xiaojun, come on, let's go get our admission notices!"

Yang Ju and the others were talking to Chen Fan when they heard the shout. They waved to Chen Fan and followed him into the room.

A moment later, a burst of laughter erupted from the office. "Hahaha, four top universities! Our Team 6 is about to soar like a golden phoenix!"

Immediately following was laughter and scolding from Secretary Yang and his group, "You're the most smug one."

However, it must be said that although each of the 12 teams in Lujiawan had someone who got into university, in terms of sheer numbers, the 6 teams with 4 people each were far ahead.

Next are the three from team 5, then the other teams with girls who joined the training class, and as for the rest, there is only one "veterinarian" as a safety net, so they won't end up with nothing.

Hearing the noise inside, Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and prepared to go in.

At this moment, Huang Ying and the other two emerged one after another, holding their opened admission notices and beaming with excitement. "Teacher Chen, we all passed the exam!"

Chen Fan took the admission notices they handed him and nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, not bad, they were all admitted according to their first choice.

Yang Ju is a mechanical engineering student at Tsinghua University, and Liu Dan is a Chinese literature student at Peking University, but majoring in journalism. If nothing unexpected happens, when Renmin University reopens next year and the entire journalism department moves there, she will become a student at Renmin University.

As for Huang Ying, although she didn't attend a top-tier university, in the field of foreign trade, no school can compare to the Capital University of Foreign Trade.

Moreover, this school will be included in the list of key universities next year.

I just don't know how the admissions officers from the Foreign Trade College managed to take Huang Ying's file away amidst all the "surrounding" people.
The process was actually quite simple. After the teachers from the Foreign Trade College came to Yunhu to conduct the re-examination, they called the school that same day and then rushed to the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province overnight. They found Huang Ying's file, didn't even need other admissions information, and returned directly to the capital.

However, the Peking University admissions officer who came with him for the re-examination tried to take more spots because of the school's strong reputation. As a result, he was besieged by Jiangnan University and Fudan University and almost failed to protect Liu Dan's file.

Fortunately, he remembered that on the day of the re-examination, he asked someone at the Yunhu Education Office about Chen Fan's background and learned that he was the rising star writer, and that Liu Dan and Huang Ying were his students.

Using this as a threat, he told his rivals that if they dared to steal Chen's students and prevent them from being admitted to their first-choice schools, Chen would definitely not let it go. In the end, he barely managed to escape, grabbing Zhang Cuie and Liu Dan's files and running away overnight, abandoning everyone else.

As time went by, more and more people came to collect their letters.

Moreover, almost all of them were personally escorted by the squad leader, either on horseback or in a carriage, making it an extremely grand affair!

Once the people from the furthest teams, Team 1 and Team 12, arrived, all the admission notices had been distributed.

When checking the admitted institutions, sure enough, there were indeed some who had been "adjusted" to other institutions.

Zhang Wenzhong from Team 8 looked bewildered, holding the admission notice and saying, "That's not right. I applied to Jiangnan University and Jiangnan Agricultural University, but not Jiangnan Normal University. How come I was admitted to the Normal University?"

On the other side, Huang Gang from Team 3 was also baffled. "I didn't apply to Jiangnan University, so why is it an admission notice from Jiangnan University?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Yang's expression turned somewhat serious. He quickly walked up to Chen Fan and asked, "Won't there be a problem with this situation?"

Chen Fan was too lazy to check the situation for these two simple-minded people, so he asked them, "Can you accept the school and major you've been admitted to?"

After thinking for a moment, without consulting the parents who had come with them, the two nodded in unison, "We can accept it."

Huang Gang also said, "I originally applied to the provincial medical university, but I was admitted to the medical department of Jiangnan University. My major didn't change."

He looked up and laughed, "Pretty much, they're all the same anyway."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Since you can accept it, then let's do it this way. Strictly speaking, the medical department of Jiangnan University is not inferior to that of the medical university in the provincial capital. It's just that the medical university has many graduates working in the health system within the province, so it has slightly more resources in this regard than Jiangnan University."

The difference between the two is that most medical students graduating from Jiangnan University go into the management system or the two affiliated hospitals of Jiangnan University, while graduates of medical universities are distributed in hospitals of all sizes throughout the province and even in other provinces.

The students admitted this year will definitely be given important positions in the future, so for Huang Gang, it really doesn't make much difference.

Huang Gang and Zhang Wenzhong nodded in unison, then stopped talking and began to celebrate with their families.
