Return to the 1982 Staff Compound

Chapter 85 Packages

The morning math test is from 9:11 to 120:20, with a total score of points, and there are points of additional questions. The good thing about the math test is that every point you get is real.

Once you master the problem-solving ideas and memorize the formulas, you will be almost invincible.

It is also the best subject to raise the overall score.

Qiu Huoming read the questions from beginning to end. Many of the questions this time were in a different format, but in fact, they were still the same type of questions in essence. If you are someone who only memorizes math by rote, it is easy to lose points.

After he finished writing and checked his answers, the teacher finally announced the time. "Dear students, there are still 30 minutes left. Don't panic. Check if there is anything you missed and try to answer as completely as possible... Finally, be sure to check carefully on the side of the test paper to see if you have filled in your name, admission ticket number and other information..."

Qiu Huoming subconsciously glanced at the side and filled in everything that needed to be filled in.

Another reason why he handed in the paper early was that he wanted to wash his clothes and sheets before his family came back.

When I got home, they hadn't come back yet.

He worked quickly, scrubbed the clothes and sheets, and then hung them out to dry on the ropes tied to the concrete poles in front of the vegetable garden.

Chen Suniang came back and complained, "You want to take the exam, give me all your dirty clothes..."

"I came back early and had nothing to do..." Qiu Huoming explained, then she pushed him back to the small room and forced him to read at the desk.

Qiu Huoming:...

I took two consecutive exams in the afternoon, Politics and Biology.

The total score for biology was 50 points, and many people didn’t take it seriously. Even Ding Yu didn’t take out the textbook that he always kept in his hand.

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. You can get some points in biology by cheating. I suggest you cram for it before the end." Qiu Huoming suggested.

Ding Yu’s greatest strength is his willingness to listen to opinions.

He sat down on the steps, took out his biology textbook and started reading. The break lasted a total of 30 minutes.

The exam bell rang before many people could even sit down.

Amid the sighs of many classmates, Qiu Huoming returned to his seat in the row.

The teacher gave a special reminder on the stage: "Students, please note that the biology exam only lasts for one hour. Please make sure you remember it correctly."

After getting the test paper, Qiu Huoming began to fill in his information in an orderly manner, then opened the paper and started to answer the questions.

When there were only 10 minutes left, the teacher began to announce the time, "Dear students, there are only 10 minutes left. Check carefully to see if there is anything you missed. Don't rush to hand in your paper. Check it again carefully..."

This teacher is quite serious and responsible. Qiu Huoming read both sides of the book and made sure there was nothing he missed.

The bell finally rang. "Everyone put your pens down. If you write now, it will be considered cheating..." After the teacher said this, the classroom was filled with people standing up one after another.

When Qiu Huoming walked out of the classroom, it was already dark, and the street lights on the campus were lit up one by one...

The next day was the last day of the preliminaries. In the morning, I took the physics test, which lasted for 2 hours.

The afternoon test was English, also for 2 hours, with English accounting for 70% of the score. Fortunately, there was no listening test, so most people filled in the answers by guessing.

Qiu Huoming did not hand in the paper early this time. He waited until the appointed time and then followed the crowd to hand in the paper.

He was carrying his schoolbag and pushing the cart outside.

The campus was noisy with students. Some stayed where they were to discuss, while others walked out in groups. Those who did well in the exam were in high spirits, while those who did poorly were dejected.

When he arrived at the school gate, he found Ding Yu was already waiting for him at the door.

"Why are you so slow today? I handed in my paper a long time ago and have been waiting for you for a while." Ding Yu looked proud.

"Have you written it all?" Qiu Huoming glanced at him.

"I have written it all. Don't worry, English is my forte, I will definitely get it right."

Qiu Huoming glanced at him suspiciously...

There is no need to go back to school the week after the exams, as all high school sophomores are on holiday, which means that if you fail the preliminary exam, you can only go home with your graduation diploma.

Those who failed the selection either had to repeat their studies, find a job, or join the army like Chen Yong.

It was much easier for city dwellers to find jobs in the 80s, while there were few options available in rural areas.

Some of Wucheng Middle School's boarding students are from nearby villages. If they fail to be selected, their fate will most likely not be good.

Some candidates who were walking out of the examination room in an endless stream had obviously thought of this problem, and the topic they were talking about together became sad.

Ding Yu found a small store at the school gate and bought two bottles of soda. The two of them squatted at the gate and chatted as it got dark.

"Or tomorrow afternoon, let's get together and call Gu and Li Ming, and go boating. I'll treat you." Ding Yu suggested with some reluctance.

"Okay, I'll come find you after dinner tomorrow, and then I'll go find Gu and Li Ming."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."

Qiu Huoming waved his hand, climbed onto his bicycle, and headed towards home.

When we arrived at East Street, there were few street lights. Fortunately, most people had just got off work at this time, so it was still quite lively.

Not long after I got home, the postman, Chunsheng, came riding a 28-bar bicycle.

"Qiu Huoming!" he shouted at the top of his voice.

Qiu Huoming immediately walked out of the small room, "Hey, Brother Chunsheng, you said you would come over on Monday afternoon, why didn't you come?"

"I'm here, a little early, and I gave the list to your father. Didn't he give it to you?"

Qiu Huoming touched the back of his head. Qiu Jianshe was probably afraid that it would affect his exam, or he simply forgot about it.

"My dad probably forgot. I'll fill it out tomorrow and send it to you." Qiu Huoming felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, it's okay. I was coming here anyway." Chunsheng lowered his head and took out a list from his bag.

"Mr. Qiu, please sign for your remittance slip." There was a hint of envy in Chunsheng's eyes.

Qiu Huoming took the list with great joy and saw that it was the payment for his work "Contemporary" magazine, which meant that his work "Blind Date" was accepted.

"Thank you." Qiu Huoming signed the receipt and handed it back to him.

"Don't be polite. Come to the Post Office to play with me next time. Everyone in the office knows me."

"Okay, I'll send you the order tomorrow."

"Except for noon tomorrow, I'll be at work. You can come over." Chunsheng said, turned the front of the car, pushed it a few times, and then got in the car.

The bike made a clanging sound, and Chunsheng, riding his 28-bar bicycle, turned the corner of the alley and disappeared in the twilight.

Qiu Huoming then looked down at the wire transfer slip in his hand, 132 yuan. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he returned to the small room and placed the wire transfer slip on the table.

Not long after it was put away, Chen Suniang and Qiu Jianshe came back together.

It was obvious that Chen Suniang was in a good mood.

Qiu Jianshe was holding a package in his hand. When he saw Qiu Huoming's bicycle parked at the door of the hut, he immediately called out, "Huoming, come and take your things. Your sister asked someone to bring them to you."

Qiu Huoming hurried out of the small room, took a few steps forward and took the package.

Very heavy to start with.

"Book?" Qiu Huoming asked, touching the corners of the package.

"Maybe. Take it apart and have a look."

Qiu Jianshe's hands were empty now, and he felt visibly relieved.

Qiu Huoming went back into the kitchen, got a pair of scissors, and squatted at the door to open the package.

When I opened it, it was indeed a book, and it was currently the most popular world classic. I don’t know where my sister bought it from.

There was also a letter in the middle of the book.

I will release 6 chapters today. I really put in a lot of effort...
