Liu Yang closed the door only after Xu Zhi's car drove away. When he saw his own little bed, he felt sleepy again. He fell asleep without even washing his face.

I slept until noon the next day.

Thinking that Grandpa Liu asked him to go out for dinner in the evening, Liu Yang took a bath with hot water, changed into clean clothes and prepared to go out.

Since we are celebrating, no matter who we are celebrating for, we cannot go empty-handed, as that would be impolite.

So before going, I had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts. Fortunately, I usually ate in the cafeteria and had never made new clothes, so I had the meat coupons.

She planned to buy two kilograms of the best pork belly. Grandpa Liu liked to eat fatty pork the most.

But as soon as the door opened, Liu Yang was startled. There was someone at the door, rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth.

"Sister Zhou, why are you here?"

Sister Zhou seemed like a different person from yesterday. Her attitude was so enthusiastic that she immediately grabbed Liu Yang's hand and said, "Liu Yang, Professor Kong from Huajiang University called Director Zhu early this morning and said that he wanted you to take some time to go over. Director Zhu specifically asked me to go with you."

"Professor Kong?" Liu Yang was a little puzzled. He didn't recognize him at all.

Because they were going to Grandpa Liu's place tonight, Liu Yang was dressed neatly and appropriately. Sister Zhou looked her up and down, immediately let go of her hand, and closed the door for her. "Director Zhu and Professor Kong have an appointment at 2pm. It's already 1:30pm. Let's talk while we walk."

Liu Yang frowned. No wonder he heard a noise outside the door just now. He saw that Sister Zhou had come a long time ago, but she just didn't knock on the door.

But if I go to Huajiang University at two o'clock, I don't know what Professor Kong wants to see me about. If I go to the military compound, it might be quite late. Liu Yang pursed his lips and said, "But I have something else to do today. Can we do it another day with Professor Kong?"

Sister Zhou seemed a little unhappy, and her smile gradually disappeared. "It won't take long. After Professor Kong asked about your results for yesterday's test paper, he asked to meet you. I didn't expect that he was Qian Gong's teacher when he was studying abroad. He is an old professor with great prestige internationally. After we resumed the college entrance examination here, he returned to China without saying a word."

After hearing what Sister Zhou said, I realized that Professor Kong is indeed a patriot, and it was a great honor for him to be invited to meet him.

The car drove all the way to Huajiang University. When they arrived at the destination, Sister Zhou, who was in her forties, pulled Liu Yang, who was in his twenties, and drove all the way. Finally, they arrived at Professor Kong's office on time at two o'clock.

"Professor Kong, I brought Liu Yang here." Sister Zhou panted and pushed Liu Yang forward.

This was the first time Liu Yang met Professor Kong. Although he was over 60 years old and his hair was gray, he was still active on the podium, training batch after batch of science and engineering talents for the motherland.

Liu Yang bowed politely, "Hello, Professor Kong."

"Come and sit down." Professor Kong pointed to the sofa in the office. After they sat down, he came over and asked Liu Yang, "Is it affecting your work?"

Liu Yang smiled and shook his head, "I'm on night shift today, it won't affect me."

Professor Kong nodded and said, "Actually, someone strongly requested me to find you today. She will be here soon."

Isn't it Professor Kong who wants to see him? Although Liu Yang was a little puzzled, he decided to wait patiently.

Sister Zhou, on the other hand, asked Professor Kong tentatively, "Which professor wants to see Liu Yang?"

"That's her." Professor Kong raised his hand and pointed to the door. "Ms. Kong Shan from the English Department."

Liu Yang and Sister Zhou looked towards the door at the same time, and saw a female teacher wearing a red dress, with big curly hair, who looked very international, walked in. She smiled at Professor Kong and said, "Professor Kong, you have worked hard."

Professor Kong picked up his teacup and walked to the door. "If you didn't really have business to talk to Liu Yang about, I, an old man, would be accused of abusing my power for personal gain."

Using public power for personal gain? Are they all surnamed Kong?

Liu Yang immediately thought, they should be relatives, right?

Sure enough, as soon as Professor Kong left the office, Kong Shan smiled and extended her hand to Liu Yang, "Hello Liu Yang, I am an English teacher at Huajiang University. My name is Kong Shan, and I am also Professor Kong's youngest daughter. Qian Zhe has called me Sister Shan since I was a child."

It turns out that they are father and daughter, and the whole family is highly educated, which is really amazing.

Liu Yang stood up and shook her hand back, "Hello, Teacher Kong. I wonder what you want me to do today?"

"I asked you to come here because I want you to do the English test paper of Huajiang University. You have done Chinese and math, so we can't favor one over the other. And even if you don't need to take the English test for admission to night school, you want to learn English, so your foundation should be good." Kong Shan smiled and took out three test papers from the file bag, "Here, choose one yourself."

Liu Yang widened his eyes. This...he asked me to come here to take an exam?

She thought she could escape from the suffering after graduating from university, but she didn't expect that in the 1980s, she would have to take exams every day. Why was her life so miserable?

"Why? You don't like English?" Kong Shan saw Liu Yang's complaining face and pushed the test paper forward again. "Xiaozhe has brought your Chinese and math papers. Although they are not as good as the top students in Huajiang, they are above average. I believe your English will not disappoint me."

Liu Yang actually likes English very much. Her English level is pretty good. She almost doesn't need to look at subtitles when watching American TV series, but she doesn't like exams, especially one after another.

But there is an old saying, since you are here, you are here.

Liu Yang casually took out the one in the middle and said, "Let's take this one."

Kong Shan took a look, handed Liu Yang a pen, and gave her a thumbs up. "I didn't expect you to be a good student and lucky. You picked the most difficult one right away. Okay, the exam time is one and a half hours, you can hand in the paper early, let's get started."

Sister Zhou also didn't expect that Professor Kong asked Liu Yang to come over because Kong Shan wanted Liu Yang to do an English test paper, which made her a little embarrassed. "Liu Yang, take your time and don't be nervous. I'm here with you."

Liu Yang glanced at her perfunctorily. He had passed the exam yesterday, so why should he be afraid of today's?

The English test at that time was actually not difficult. At the original owner's age, he started learning English in the third year of junior high school, and including high school, he only studied it for four years in total.

It took Liu Yang less than an hour to finish the entire test. Kong Shan was shocked when she was marking the test papers. "Liu Yang, did you really graduate from high school with just a passing grade?"

Unexpectedly, she even knew this, so Liu Yang had no choice but to nod, "Yes."

"Then your..." Kong Shan pushed the test paper between Liu Yang and Sister Zhou, "This test paper is not easy. You actually scored 99 points. This level is not only above average. If we only look at English alone, you are at an outstanding level."

Liu Yang was thinking about how to explain, but Sister Zhou spoke before her, "This child has been rebellious since she was young. She always goes against Teacher Xu in everything. Teacher Xu asked her to do better in the exam, but she refused. Now that I think about it, she might have set the passing line deliberately."

Kong Shan smiled and looked at Liu Yang. "It's quite a skill to be able to accurately determine the passing score. Liu Yang, I want to ask you for a favor."

Liu Yang asked in a daze: "What help?"

Kong Shan smiled and said, "I would like to ask you to come to my class often, and work with my students to encourage them. I don't believe that if they can't even pass the exam for a factory youth, they can still have the nerve to say that they are Huajiang's students?"

This is exactly the same as what Sister Zhou said when I went to register in the Education Department. Is she using me as a tool to motivate those who are lagging behind?

I hope there aren’t any rascals like Li Junfeng in Huajiang University.
