Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 558: The Number One Scholar in Dialect

"Are you really here?" Zhu Lin said to Fang Yan with some surprise.

I had barely finished saying this when someone came in from outside.

Is it possible that my mouth is blessed today?

"Clap clap clap..."

At this time, firecrackers sounded outside the door, and they were definitely set off outside Fangyan's house.

"He should be here." Fang Yan nodded in response.

Then he said to his wife:
"Let's go out together."

"See if it's what we think."

Zhu Lin nodded, took Fang Yan's hand, and the couple walked towards the gate of the yard together. The others followed behind and walked to the gate together.

At this time, Director Feng was knocking on the door again.

"Comrade Dialect!"

"Comrade Fangyan, open the door!"

It can be heard that Director Feng is more anxious than Fangyan at this moment.

"Coming!" Fang Yan replied, then pulled the bolt and opened the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as the door opened, firecrackers were lit again at the door.

The crackling sound is so lively.

Director Feng bowed repeatedly to Fangyan outside:

"Comrade Fangyan, this is great news, great news!"

There were several cadres wearing Zhongshan suits standing behind her.

This scene made Fangyan and Zhu Lin feel as if they were back to their wedding day last year.

"Crack!"

The flash went off, followed by the sound of a shutter, and Fang Yan was photographed at the door. Only then did he have the opportunity to speak:
"Director Feng, what good news are you talking about?"

"Your college entrance examination results are out!" Director Feng smiled happily. Just as she was about to say something, she remembered that there was someone standing behind her. She stepped aside and said to Fang Yan:

"Let our city leaders tell you."

Then a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a Zhongshan suit and tortoise-shell glasses, came up and said to Fang Yan with a smile:

"Hello, Fangyan. My last name is Ni. I am the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Today I came here with my colleagues from the Municipal Education Bureau to tell you some good news."

After he finished speaking, he paused, then raised his voice several degrees and said:
"You achieved the top score in the liberal arts in this city in the college entrance examination this year!"

Although he was prepared, Fang Yan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly after hearing this.

The people and neighbors who were watching around were even more amazed:
"What? Number one?"

Many people shouted out almost at the same time, all with an expression of disbelief.

Everyone started whispering:

"I remember the radio news this year said that our top scorer in Beijing scored full marks in five subjects, even English, which was not counted in the total score."

"Good guy, this is awesome!"

The family members who came out with Fangyan also showed surprised expressions.

Especially my father and father-in-law, they didn't have a very specific idea about Fang Yan's performance, they just knew it was okay, but they didn't expect it to be able to reach this level.

Full marks?
They have also looked at the test paper.

Asking them to get full marks, they don't have the confidence to do so, especially in the Chinese composition section, it is really difficult to get full marks.

There is no standard answer or standard score.

Just like Fang Chen, who is originally a writer, his Chinese score is not as high as Fang Jie's.

And Fangyan, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, actually got full marks.

And he got full marks in all subjects.

For a moment, both of them began to doubt themselves, wondering if they were dreaming.

At this time, Secretary Ni said to a middle-aged man in his 50s:

"Director Kong, please announce the results in front of everyone."

The latter nodded:

"it is good."

Then he took out a file bag from his body, opened it, took out a document from it, and read aloud:
"Student Fangyan, the marking of the 1977 college entrance examination has been successfully completed. Your test scores are now notified as follows... 100 points for politics, 100 points for history and geography, 100 points for mathematics, 100 points for Chinese, and 100 points for English, which is not included in the total score. Your total score is 400 points, and the total score of all test subjects is 500 points. After verification and review, your scores are correct and valid, and meet the scoring standards."

After saying this, he looked at Fang Yan:

"Congratulations, Fangyan, you are the only student in our city to receive full marks in all subjects in the 1977 college entrance examination!"

As soon as these words were spoken, firecrackers were heard again all around.

Secretary Ni of the Municipal Party Committee and the people he brought with him all applauded Fangyan.

Director Kong of the Education Bureau put the documents in his hand into a file bag and handed it to Secretary Ni.

Secretary Ni took it and said to Fang Yan:

"Your results this time were not only graded by our city's examiners, but also by a number of experts. After discussion, everyone agreed that you should get full marks."

After that, he handed it to Fangyan and said:

"It is stamped with seals from several departments. The results are fair and valid. Part of your test paper will also be published in the official newspaper later."

"Thank you, leader." Fang Yan took the file bag with both hands.

At this time, the cameraman who followed them was frantically pressing the shutter button to take pictures as if film was free.

After seeing this, Fangyan took the document out of the file bag, then held it up with one hand to show the cameraman.

Other people watching also saw a lot of big red seals on it.

The document above contained Fangyan's transcript, which was much more impressive than others.

I don’t know who in the crowd started applauding, and then the onlookers also applauded Fangyan.

"This year's top scorer in liberal arts is our neighbor!"

"Yup!"

“This is the pride of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street!”

"The number one scholar came from our street. I guess we'll call it the Number One Scholar Street in the future."

"Haha, that's great. The top scholar is our neighbor. It means we have a good location. In the future, my son and his wife can tell this story about being neighbors with the top scholar!"

"..."

Everyone was discussing it at once, and they all looked proud of it.

Secretary Ni said to Fang Yan:

"It's not easy, Fangyan. We know that while you were preparing for the college entrance examination, you were still treating patients. I didn't expect that you could get a perfect score."

After that, he paused and asked:
"I guess you must be studying very hard besides work?"

Fang Yan nodded without any hesitation, and said without blushing or beating his heart:
"Well, I read until late at night every day. This effort has finally paid off."

When everyone heard that he reviewed until midnight every day, they already imagined him reviewing hard after get off work in the cold winter.

Secretary Ni was surprised:

"Midnight? As expected of the number one scholar, hard work really pays off!"

"With such perseverance, it's no wonder that such achievements can be made!"

After he finished speaking, everyone around him started applauding.

Everyone likes people who work hard, and Fangyan is obviously such a person!
Everyone at home: "..."

The family members who knew the truth heard him talking nonsense and were so angry that they didn't know how to express it.

Fangyan is very particular about health preservation in his daily life. He goes to bed immediately when it is time and never does anything like reviewing until midnight.

Among the three candidates in the family, he is definitely not the one who studies the most seriously.

In fact, he was the one who spent the least time reviewing.

While Fangyan was at work, my elder sister and younger brother were reviewing at home.

When he came back, finished his meal and started watching TV in the living room, his elder sister and younger brother were still reviewing.

When he finished watching TV and went to sleep, his elder sister and younger brother were still reviewing.

He didn't review during his weekend break.

I just do what I need to do. What is review? I don’t know.

I only reviewed it when the exam was approaching.

Now he says that he is working hard, but he can only say that he is establishing the image of an ordinary person to the outside world.

After all, saying that you haven't reviewed and have a photographic memory is really discouraging.

Compared to examples of genius, people prefer to hear stories about hard work.

Fangyan then continued:
"I would also like to thank my family. Without them, I would not have been able to achieve such results. In addition, my leaders and colleagues at work also provided great support for the college entrance examination."

"Whenever I was up late at night, they cooked me a bowl of hot noodles so that I would have the strength to keep fighting."

Secretary Ni looked at the people around Fang Yan and praised:
"Your family is really nice!"

There are actually not many families these days that can fully support candidates in taking exams.

Most of the students just want to take the exam and see how it goes. It is impossible for many families to change their lives to take care of the candidates.

So when people around heard Fangyan's words, they all remembered how they studied late at night and were criticized for using too much kerosene and electricity.

A contrast is immediately created.

No wonder he could get full marks, this is the difference between our families!
I envy him for having such a good family!
At this time, even Director Feng testified and said:

"Everyone in their family is so nice. Our neighborhood offices are close to each other, so I know them best!"

Secretary Ni nodded and said with a smile:

"The support of our family can really give us a lot of strength! This is something that others should learn from."

After that, he asked in dialect:

"With all the achievements you've made, you should be able to choose any school you want. So what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing the other party's question, Fangyan suddenly became serious.

He paused, and then quickly prepared a speech in his mind before speaking:

“I plan to continue to practice Chinese medicine, which I love.”

Hearing the dialect, Secretary Ni said curiously:

"Then I wonder which university you are applying for?"

The dialect responded:
"I applied for Capital University of Chinese Medicine in the college entrance examination. Here I will continue my study of Chinese medicine and complete my research project on Chinese medicine."

After that, he smiled and said loudly:

"To be honest, although I haven't enrolled yet, I already have a lot of projects."

"One of the most popular projects is the special Jiuxin Decoction for emergency treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. This project was jointly reported to the Ministry of Health by the Huaxia Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Nantong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine last year. With this plan, I treated overseas Chinese businessmen at Union Hospital a few years ago and treated idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that could not be treated by Western medicine, saving a young life."

Secretary Ni had actually read some information about Fangyan before coming here, but the updated information only recorded that he had received the "50th Anniversary Medal of the Founding of the Army" awarded by the army some time ago. When he heard him talking about the treatment of overseas Chinese businessmen, he remembered the content of the news broadcast.

It turned out to be the heroic feat of this number one scholar.

Fangyan finished the advertisement at this time and continued:

"I hope that this traditional Chinese medicine project can be promoted nationwide in the future so that more patients can benefit from it."

"At the same time, in the future university, I will develop more TCM treatment plans with a group of teachers and classmates, and contribute to the TCM culture that has been passed down for thousands of years in China."
