Return to the 1982 Staff Compound

Chapter 83 Good Intentions

I heard that more than half of the candidates will be eliminated in this preliminary examination. In this era, the review and scoring of papers are all done manually. In order to avoid wasting resources, we came up with such a preliminary examination policy.

This is also a kind of filtering, screening out those people with good grades.

Qiu Huoming rode his bike back and thought as he rode that the group of people who took the college entrance examination when it was first opened were actually the luckiest. At that time, everything started from scratch, and not only was the admission score low, but the threshold was also low.

The most difficult period happened to be the 80s, especially 82.

This year's science mathematics has additional questions, with a total score of 120 points. The English paper score is 100 points, but the actual score is calculated based on 70%, biology is 50 points, and the remaining subjects are full marks of 100 points.

That means a full score of 640 points.

It is said that if you can score half of the total score, you are already an outstanding student.

When I got home, it was still daylight. It was almost six o'clock when the sun set. Chen Suniang started to get busy as soon as she got home. Qiu Huoming came back from the public toilet, washed his hands, and took a look at the dishes for tonight.

"Let's have meatball soup tonight!"

There are cute meatballs on the chopping board. This dish is Chen Suniang's specialty.

Chen Suniang smiled and said, "I'll give you a refresher. You've been wasting your brain lately. How did you do on the test today?"

"I probably won't get full marks in Chinese, because there are few essays that get full marks. As for chemistry, I think I can get full marks." Qiu Huoming answered after thinking for a moment.

In the living room, Qiu Jianshe laughed, "You just know how to blow, and you're not afraid of sticking your tongue out. You should be humble!"

Chen Suniang knocked on the edge of the pot and said, "You can't say anything nice."

The older sister who was doing her homework in the living room said, "Dad, I think my brother is right!"

The younger sister also nodded vigorously, "Brother is right."

When Qiu Jianshe saw that the whole family was on Qiu Huoming's side, he was speechless for a moment, snorted coldly, and went into the inner room with his hands behind his back.

Chen Suniang then smiled and said to Qiu Huoming: "Your father is at a disadvantage because of his mouth, but what he said later also makes sense. Be more humble and don't let others envy you."

Qiu Huoming grinned and said, "I'm just telling you the truth. When others asked me, I said I did okay in the exam, just average."

Chen Suniang opened the pot and found the water was already boiling. She was somewhat relieved that her son could listen to the truths she said. If she had said this in the past, the child would probably have jumped up.

She glanced at Qiu Huoming's haggard face, turned around and put the dumplings on the table while saying, "Go back to the room and have a rest. The meal will be ready soon."

"okay."

Qiu Huoming stretched lazily in the open space outside the kitchen door, looked at the locations of several rooms in his house, and suddenly had an idea. If he built a bathroom on the side of the kitchen, he could build a door at the extension of the wall between the bathroom and the living room.

Then the open space in front of the kitchen can be used as a yard. Not only will it provide better privacy, but the area will be much larger when the public housing is bought out in the future.

He walked around the open space. This idea was absolutely feasible. There were no buildings around the firewood room. There was a vegetable garden behind the room, so drainage would be no problem.

This makes it much more convenient for everyone to take a bath.

I still have more than 600 yuan in my hand, and it doesn't cost much to build a small room of 4 square meters these days.

Last time I heard people in the compound chatting, they said that they only spent more than 1000 yuan to buy a residential plot with a house.

After the preliminary exam is over, go find the bricklayer to ask about the market price.

After a while, Chen Suniang called out from behind, "It's time to eat, come in and serve the dishes..."

As soon as he turned around, he saw his eldest sister push open the screen door and walk into the kitchen with a smile on her face.

The warm yellow light at the door reflected on the open space outside the kitchen. A figure was moving around, and he quickly followed.

He ate a few more bowls of food for dinner and took a shower. After finishing his shower, he sat in the living room and mentioned the idea of ​​the bathroom to them.

I thought Chen Suniang would object, but unexpectedly she was the first to agree. "You are old enough now. It is not a good idea for a cat to take a bath in the kitchen. After your preliminary exam is over, I will ask someone. Aunt Zhao's nephew in the compound is a bricklayer. I heard that he has good skills..."

With Chen Suniang backing him up, the matter was settled.

"Mom, my royalties are about to come, and I'll pay for building the house." Qiu Huoming is a wealthy man.

Chen Suniang glared at him and said, "Keep your money. It will cost you money to go to college in the future. Your father and I will pay for the house."

There are extra bricks. They were left over when Qiu Huoming's small house was built.

It was still piled up in the open space behind his window. Qiu Huoming listened to Chen Suniang and Qiu Jianshe discussing in low voices. They had built the house before, so they had a plan in mind, so he didn't have to worry about it.

As for the money, he would just hand it over directly when the royalties came in. He didn't believe that Chen Suniang would be willing to give it up.

"Huoming, go back to your room and have a rest. You have a math test tomorrow, right? Don't read too late at night. You need to relax and work in moderation." Chen Suniang was talking to Qiu Jianshe when she looked up and saw Qiu Huoming still in the hall, and immediately gave the order.

"Oh, then I'll go back to my room." Qiu Huoming, wearing slippers, pushed open the screen door and walked back to his little room.

As soon as the light was turned on, several flying insects were seen flying along the light.

There were occasional collision sounds.

Qiu Huoming quickly closed the door. This was the bad thing about the bungalow. When the weather got hot, there would be snakes coiled under the bricks behind the window.

But these are domestic snakes, they are not poisonous, and they won't hurt people if you don't provoke them.

He couldn't concentrate on reading. He had been taking exams all day and just wanted to relax. So he simply went back to the living room and moved the radio to his own little room.

The radio was turned on and melodious music sounded. He hid in the mosquito net and lay down while listening to the music.

I glanced at the alarm clock and it was already past nine o'clock.

There is not much to do at night these days, so going to bed at nine o'clock is considered normal.

He closed his eyes and began to conceive his "Legend of the Young Immortal Hero". He had a rough outline in mind, but he still needed to break down the specific plot. In his mind, the young knight began to encounter his first love disaster...

When he woke up in the morning, he was a little confused.

When he reacted, he jumped up immediately, and the unbearable memories flooded into his mind again. He lifted the quilt, looked down at himself, and then looked at the sheets.

I quickly got out of bed, put on my slippers, found a pair of clean pants, crumpled up the clothes I had taken off, and covered them on the sheets to hide the traces. There was no time in the morning, so I could only wait until I got back at noon to wash them.

Damn youth.

Qiu Huoming finished washing up, looking guilty.

When they arrived at the examination room, Ding Yu was squatting at the door eating a meat bun. When he saw Qiu Huoming, he immediately stood up and raised the paper bag in his hand, "Huozi, come here and eat the buns."

Qiu Huoming was not polite at all. He walked over quickly, reached out and took out one, then squatted on the ground with him on either side and started eating.

"Didn't your mother cook today?" Qiu Huoming asked.

"I did it. I'm not full. Just give me one fried dough stick and two eggs..."

Qiu Huo nodded in understanding, "I'm not full either."

It’s finally Thursday… Congratulations!
