Lin Xiaoguang's family is in Chang A County. It is a very ordinary dual-income family. His father is a police officer and his mother is a teacher.
He had been living in the family home of the Public Security Bureau since he was a child. It was not until he graduated from college that he was assigned a job and moved out from home. Not long after, he met his future wife through a blind date. After getting married, he settled down permanently outside.
On the way home, Lin Xiaoguang thought about a lot of things, but many people he met on the road always asked how he did in the exam.
"It's not bad!" He dealt with it one by one like a little grown-up.
He is fifteen years old this year. He was born in 1962. He went to elementary school at the age of seven and junior high school at the age of twelve. He graduated from the two-year junior high school at the age of thirteen and graduated from the junior high school at the age of fourteen. He went to high school again at the age of fourteen, which is also a two-year high school. He just graduated this summer.
, and then instead of going to the mountains and countryside to become an educated youth, and coincidentally with the resumption of the college entrance examination, he actually directly signed up to take the exam, which shocked many people.
Fifteen-year-old Lin Xiaoguang is just over 1.6 meters tall. In later generations, he should be in the third grade of junior high school or the first grade of high school, but in this era, he is already a high school graduate.
Call him young, he has graduated from high school, call him old, he is still three years away from adulthood.
At such an old age, it is really too young to take the college entrance examination.
Lin Xiaoguang knew, however, that in the 1977 college entrance examination, the youngest was thirteen years old. He became an educated youth after graduating from junior high school, and the educated youth could participate in this college entrance examination.
When I got home, it was rare that my mother Yang Wenshu and my father Lin Zhongping were both there. The former was busy in the kitchen, while the latter watched his younger brother and sister Xiaofei and Xiaomo doing their homework.
Even though he was middle-aged, Lin Zhongping still had a very irritable temper. When he saw him coming back, he quickly asked, "How was your exam?"
Yang Wenshu in the kitchen heard this, came out, and said angrily: "The exam has just finished, don't ask questions yet, let the child take a breath, Xiaoguang, you drink water first, wait a moment, mother will prepare the meal soon, what do you like best?"
Eat steamed pork with rice flour."
My mother has always been reasonable. When she was first reborn, Lin Xiaoguang was extremely moved. Now she has adapted. She sat down on the sofa, took the water glass, drank the warm water in one breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Tired."
It's killing me, but it's done, mom, don't worry, your son's Peking University will never escape."
He was estimating the scores in the examination room. Mathematics was at least 90, English was 95, Chinese was 85, Physics was 80, and Politics was 75. The total was at least 420.
Seeing him laughing and joking, he seemed to be performing well, and it was not like he was performing abnormally and was as lost as others. Yang Wenshu felt a little relieved and glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense yet!"
Lin Zhongping has always had no sense of presence in front of his son. When he was sad, he also snorted: "You are not ashamed of your words!"
The family was worried about his affairs. Although they were putting off becoming an educated youth, if they were not admitted, they would have no choice but to follow the arrangement and go to the mountains and countryside.
Lin Xiaoguang knew that the movement of educated youths to go to the mountains and countryside did not officially end until the beginning of 1979, but there was no way to tell now.
He teased his younger siblings: "Xiao Fei, Xiao Mo, my brother is going to Peking to go to college. You should also study hard in school and go to Peking in the future."
Before the exam, the whole family took care of him and gave him good food and drink to replenish his health.
As soon as the exam was over, he completely became a child without a mother. During the day, his parents went out to work, and he stayed at home to cook. In the evening, he had to tutor his two children with their homework. This was the case during the week, that is, on the weekends. His parents did not go to work, and his younger siblings
If he doesn't go to school, he can rest and relax.
That day, when he was writing hard at home, Yang Wenshu came back and threw him a letter.
"Who gave it to me?"
"See for yourself, it's your cousin, Xiaoyun. I wonder how she is doing at the farm? By the way, have you cooked the food?" Mother Lin took off her coat and washed her hands.
"I've done it. How could I forget it? The rice is already cooked and the vegetables are cut. They'll be fried later. I'll read the letter first."
On the yellow cover, there are only a few numbers: "Brother, Lin Xiaoguang personally greets Lin Xiaoyun, the 11th detachment of Weichuan Farm, Hedong City, Western Shaanxi Province."
Opening the envelope, Lin Xiaoguang slowly looked at it.
Cousin Lin Xiaoyun is the child of his eldest uncle Lin Boping and his aunt Yang Wenjing. The second daughter is two years older than him. She is seventeen this year. Last year, she went to the Weichuan Farm in the mountains and countryside. According to the historical trajectory, he will also go to the Weichuan Farm this summer.
The situation has changed now.
Sister Xiaoyun’s letter talks about some things that happened some time ago, but of course the focus is still on the college entrance examination.
She also participated in the college entrance examination this time. Instead of starting to review until the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination on October 21 like in her previous life, in mid-July, she received a letter from Lin Xiaoguang and received a set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry".
Start reviewing and prepare for the college entrance examination.
In the letter, Sister Xiaoyun said that she was very confident and believed that she would be able to get a high score and go to Tsinghua University.
Of course, we couldn't talk about more secretive things, such as why some of the test questions Lin Xiaoguang gave her had the same types of questions, including mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the Chinese composition questions were the same as the ones she had been asked to write.
Knowing that she had a lot of questions, Lin Xiaoguang smiled with satisfaction when he saw the end.
My cousin had only been admitted to local universities in Chang'an before. This time, there would be absolutely no problem in going to Yanjing or Tsinghua University.
On weekends, it is rare to have time to rest. Taking advantage of this gap, the old man had something to ask. The six elders, uncle, father Lin, brother-in-law, plus a few children, gathered together as a family.
The old man was born into a poor man. When he was a child, he worked as a laborer for the landlords. After the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, the county conscripted soldiers into the 17th Route Army. After that, he fought in Xiaodongyang, climbed Zhongtiao Mountain, and revolted in Luoning, Nanhe, in June 1945.
He joined the Eighth Route Army and later witnessed the three-year Liberation War, fought against Chiang Kai-shek, and the founding of New China. After the liberation of the country, the army was reorganized into a petroleum engineering force. Within a few years, he transferred back to his hometown and became a public security officer in the county.
Now I am in my early sixties, retired at home, and spend all day either playing chess or fishing, which is very uncomfortable.
Two old people, six middle-aged people, and five children sat at the same table.
The old Lin family is a strange family. The old man has two sons and one daughter, Lin Boping, Lin Zhongping, and Lin Shuping. He didn't study much, so it was very easy to get their names.
The old man is honest and loyal, but he is a little clever. He does not know a single Chinese character and has suffered a lot. However, the partners he is looking for for his three children are all educated, and are even the children of capitalists before liberation.
The girl went to a girls' middle school, and the boy also went to elementary school. The tutoring was not generally good.
But there is something strange. Lin's mother Yang Wenshu's younger brother, Lin Xiaoguang's uncle Yang Wenyong, married Lin Xiaoguang's sister-in-law Lin Shuping, and therefore, his uncle became his uncle.
The same goes for the aunt Yang Wenjing, but she and Lin Ma's uncle are not biological siblings. They are half-mothers. The aunt is the oldest and also well-educated.
I have to say that the old man is very discerning in choosing people. When he was middle-aged, after his childhood sweetheart passed away, he not only picked a good partner for his three children, but also married a good wife for himself.
And this step-in-law is the biological mother of Lin Xiaoguang's aunt Yang Wenjing.
This is undoubtedly surprising, but what is even more surprising is that the family where the old man worked as a long-term laborer when he was a child was later the national capitalist Yang Kexin, the father of Yang Wenjing's three siblings, and Lin Xiaoguang's own grandfather.
He only learned about these things later.
These days, several children know that their family situation is special, but they never imagined that there are so many stories in it.
Yes, it is to exchange relatives. This is quite common these days. Even in later generations, there are many in the mountainous area of Western Shaanxi.
