Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

Chapter 296 The College Entrance Examination Resumes, Part 2!

My roommate said:

"It says here that the college entrance examination will be held in two months, which means that the candidates only have two months to prepare."

Then he whispered again:

"Zheng Tong, we've really gotten a great deal. Look at most of the educated youth who went to the countryside; they were working in the fields all day long, busy to death, and when they came back, they just collapsed into bed. They had no time to study, and they'd probably forgotten everything they learned in school."

"We're different. We learn in school, and the knowledge is all in our heads. I'm not gloating, but the shorter the preparation time, the better for us, don't you think?"

Zheng Tong didn't answer. He scrambled off the kang (a heated brick bed), dressed, put on his hat, folded the newspaper, and stuffed it into his pocket. His roommate was puzzled.

Where are you going?

"I need to go to Wangjiagou to tell my wife this good news; she'll be overjoyed!"

After saying that, he went out.

"Hey, hey, brother, it's snowing heavily outside, the mountain roads are so difficult to walk on."

"I'll go even if it hails!"

He rushed out the door.

It usually takes about an hour to get from the county to Wangjiagou, but today the heavy snow blocked the roads, making them incredibly muddy and difficult to navigate. I slipped and fell several times just climbing a slope. It took us over three hours to reach Wangjiagou. When we arrived at the women's dormitory at the educated youth settlement, a female educated youth came out to get some water and saw a mud-covered figure standing at the door, disheveled and filthy. She thought it was some kind of wild man and was startled.

"Who...who are you?!"

You should shout it out.

"Don't shout, don't shout, it's me, Zheng Tong!"

Zheng Tong wiped the dirt off his face with his sleeve, revealing his true appearance.

The female educated youth then recognized who it was; she clutched her chest, still shaken.

"Zheng Tong, you scared me to death! What happened to you?"

"It's a long story. Is Jiang Biyun inside?"

"Yes, I'm here!" the female educated youth shouted as she turned to the cave dwelling.

"Biyun, come out quickly, your man is here, hurry up."

It's no secret that the two are dating and discussing marriage.

When Jiang Biyun arrived at the door and saw Zheng Tong's appearance, she was startled and quickly came up to ask what was wrong.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"No, no, it's just that the road was slippery and hard to walk on, so I fell a few times. It's nothing serious. There's good news, really great news, which is closely related to everyone's future prospects."

Jiang Biyun had no choice.

"What good news? Couldn't you have waited until the snow stopped before coming? What if something happened? This is supposed to be a teacher, and you're so unreliable."

"I can't wait any longer. All of you come to the male educated youth dormitory and gather everyone together, hurry up!"

About ten minutes later, twenty or thirty educated youth gathered in the male educated youth's cave dwelling. All the educated youth from Wangjiagou Brigade were here. At its peak, there were over a hundred people. Over the years, many had gone to neighboring brigades, while others couldn't endure the hardship and, those with connections, used their influence to transfer back to the city.

Then, when the county and commune recruited workers, a large number of people went, including Cao Gang, Qian Zhimin, and Li Kuiyong. Some, like Zhong Yuemin and Ning Wei, joined the army or were recommended to attend worker-peasant-soldier universities.

Some left, some were transferred, and some returned to the city. Now there are only twenty or thirty of them left here.

The small cave dwelling was packed with people. Zheng Tong's face was clean now, thanks to Jiang Biyun wiping it for him. He sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), glanced around, and waved the newspaper in his hand.

"Brothers and sisters, do you know what's in this newspaper? If I tell you, you'll be incredibly excited."
