The news of the applicants' unified written examination of chemistry and biology soon spread in the form of notice.

Four students from the Huilu class of Xibao middle school gathered together again. They all graduated and got their high school diplomas. They were in their 20s when they were looking for jobs.

"Otherwise, go to talk to Yang Rui? If we don't look at the Buddhist noodles, no matter what, we are classmates, aren't we? " Jiao Zhinong, who was in the return class, once joined the Ruixue group for a short time, and then was reformed after the voting incident. Similar to Li Tieqiang and others, he has been taking the exam for three years, but he didn't even get 300 points. Therefore, when he heard that there was a Sino foreign joint venture recruiting, he signed up immediately.

Wang Zhi, who came with him, was in the same situation. He rubbed his lower lip with his index finger and hesitated: "don't let him see us. Instead, he won't let us pass."

"There are only 10 people in all, can you not show them?" Zuo Chao, the tallest, runs a grocery store in his home. The conditions are relatively good. Today, he specially wore a pair of leather shoes. At the moment, while he was polishing his shoes, he said: "I said I would vote for it, but you must vote against it. Now look, Xibao meat factory has to invite him to come up with the examination questions. If we are in the Ruixue group, we don't have to go in now. Right? "

The last sentence is for Tian Shichang, who is still in the Ruixue group.

Tian Shichang, a little black and thin, was a little flustered. He bowed his head and said, "I'm here secretly. Yang Rui doesn't know."

"What if he knows? Can you stop hiring? Such a good opportunity, can't recruit, you again test university is not the same Zuo chaosun said: "if you want me to say, it's better to recruit workers than to go to university. What's the use of going to university? After three or four years of study, you are twenty-three or four years old before you take the exam from the beginning. All the workers and children in the factory have their own working years, and they have four or five years more working years than you. They will get more than six or seven yuan more than you every month. By then, the workers will retire at the age of 50, and the college students will have to retire at the age of 60. "

Tian Shichang bowed his head and did not speak.

Jiao Zhinong couldn't see it. He slapped Zuo Chao and said, "I don't believe you can go to university, will you? Other college students come out as cadres. You are still workers all your life. "

"How are the workers? The workers are the most advanced class. " Zuo Chao couldn't hang on to his face, so he became angry all of a sudden.

Wang Zhi quickly grabbed him: "all say a few words, say the exam, which one of you is sure to test out of the top ten?"

"Even a top ten is not necessarily useful." Zuo Chao was a little cynical and said, "as far as the virtue of Xibao meat factory is concerned, do you believe they don't jump the queue? In the end, it's not just how you want to score. "

"They didn't invite Yang Rui."

"Yang Rui is not asked to change the paper. Besides, Yang Rui has no relatives or friends to take care of? " Zuo Chao said, stabbed Tian Shichang with his fist and asked, "when Yang Rui opened a small kitchen for your Ruixue group, didn't he say that?"

"No Tian Shichang lowered his head and didn't know where to look.

Wang Zhi put his arm around his shoulder, pulled him away from the left and asked, "what's the problem with Yang Rui, can you guess?"

Zuo Chao patted his thigh: "yes, chemistry and biology? Take out your papers and let's do them again. "

"Lots of papers." Tian Shichang's voice is small.

Zuo Chao didn't hear clearly, rubbing his ears: "what?"

"I've done a lot of papers every day recently. There are many papers." Tian Shichang repeated.

Zuo Chao didn't believe: "how many can there be? Let's do one by one, or recite the answers directly, and then recite the big questions. I don't believe we can't test these people. "

Around them preparing for the exam, most of them were the children of the factories and mines in front of them.

80 Family planning has just begun in the 1960s and 1970s. There are many brothers and sisters born in the 1960s and 1970s. For factory and mining families, the biggest burden of multiple children is neither milk powder nor tuition, but the trouble of finding a job.

In the early years, when the benefits of industrial and mining enterprises were very good, it would not be too difficult to arrange one or two children to enter the factory. However, in the 1980s, with the promotion of reform and opening up, the days of state-owned enterprises below the provincial level were becoming more and more difficult. With the emergence of job rotation and even production stoppage, it would be inappropriate to recruit more workers, At present, the policies of small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises are mostly replacement and distribution. Distribution requires children to take the corresponding technical school or technical secondary school, replacement requires one parent to retire in advance, and then give up the post to their children.

Even in a dual worker family, replacement can only solve the problem of two children's work. If there are three or more children in the family, it is inevitable to go home and wait for work.

In this case, if the children of industrial and mining enterprises encounter recruitment, they would rather not have a junior high school diploma, and they will be advanced in the factory. On the other hand, if there is no recruitment, most of the children of factories and mines will choose to continue to study. Even if they know that they will not be admitted to university, it is better to study in the children's middle school than to mix in the society. On the other hand, if rural students do not get good grades in junior high school, they will drop out of school to help their families. They are also strong laborers. If they are lucky, they will join the army and hope to arrange work after retirement.Therefore, after Xibao meat factory got a high school education and urban household registration, most of the candidates were from nearby industrial and mining enterprises.

This is quite different from the student composition of Xibao middle school, and both sides despise each other.

Tian Shichang's mother is a worker of the Water Conservancy Institute. She is stationed at the dam all the year round. It's very hard and her income is not high. This makes Tian Shichang want to work early to reduce his mother's burden. Although the subsidy of Ruixue group is quite a lot, it can only solve the students' expenses of clothing, food, housing and transportation. It is not enough to help the family.

Although the temptation of Sino foreign joint venture is not as good as that of University, Tian Shichang does not have the confidence to go to university.

Meet Zuo Chao such a strong student, Tian Shichang can only repeatedly explain: "a lot of papers, a few days is not back."

Zuo Chao snorted and said, "more is more. We're afraid of nothing. We all hang around in Ruixue group. We don't have to do two papers a day for four hours. You can't just do chemistry and biology. How many papers can you have. Don't talk too much. Finish your papers at night and give them to us

Tian Shichang would like to say that the Ruixue group now has only one hour to do a test paper, and it has to do more than eight papers a day.

However, seeing that Zuo Chao was already unhappy, Tian Shichang moved his lips, but he didn't say any more. Anyway, there are a lot of students who borrow the examination papers of Ruixue group, and it's not bad to sort them out.

Jiao Zhinong asked again, "will you go to find Yang Rui?"

"If you want to go, I'm going to recite the questions for the exam. If Yang Rui doesn't pass the exam, I'll make trouble." Zuo Chao says, pull Tian Shichang to look for examination paper.

Like other students, Tian Shichang cherishes the test papers he gets. Every one of them is arranged in a big office folder together with the explanation notes, like a big notebook.

With the craziness of the tactics, the notebook of the members of Ruixue group expanded rapidly, and soon increased from the thickness of textbooks to the thickness of dictionaries.

When Tian Shichang took out such a large notebook with more than 500 pages, Zuo Chao was startled and said to himself, "don't you want to take chemistry and biology?"

"It's biological. It's chemical. It's a little heavy. I'll move it again." Tian Shichang put the book down and told him, "don't mess it up. I'll review it later."

Zuo Chao and others nodded. When he said "chemistry and biology", he obviously didn't think the book was too thick.

"I've seen many people borrow the papers from Ruixue group, but I haven't seen such thick ones." Tian Shichang went to get the chemistry paper. Zuo Chao roughly turned over a few pages, and his brain was full of paste.

Besides the explanation part, there are also 200 pages of test papers, that is, more than 100 papers. Reciting so many test papers takes about a year, but you can't think about it in a few days.

Jiao Zhinong also looked at it curiously and said: "I borrowed the papers last month. It seems that there are not so many. Let's... Here."

He turned to about half of the position.

Zuo Chao bared his teeth and said, "does Tian Shichang play with us?"

"No, you can be so well prepared?" Jiao Zhinong said a little paper, said: "there is no time on it, here, on October 8, then one is... Or on October 8, two copies a day?"

"It's estimated to be done in time." The left super turned back and saw "10". 9 ", followed by a" 10 ". 9 ", followed by two" 10 ". 10”……

Wang Zhi grabbed the notebook and turned it back page by page.

Seeing that on October 20, the number of test papers per day increased to three, Zuo Chao couldn't help crying out: "they do so much every day, so I don't believe they have time to do other subjects. Wang Zhi, you are the best. How many papers do you do every day? "

"It's just one or two. I didn't finish the math papers I copied last time." Wang Zhi turned to the end, then turned from the front, and found that the initial frequency was 3 days.

In his opinion, this seems to be normal.

"Here's the chemistry paper." Tian Shichang put two notebooks on the desk of the dormitory and made a "Dong" sound.

Wang Zhizhao waved and asked curiously, "Laotian, how do you usually do papers and how many copies do you do every day?"

"Two or three articles a day for science, one for Chinese and one for English." Tian Shichang said, shaking two times unconsciously, and said: "brother Rui calls this topic sea tactics. Each paper requires 45 minutes to 1 hour to hand in. If you finish it early, you can have a rest after class. If you can't finish it, you can only do it continuously..."

Wang Zhipin's four words on the subject of naval warfare are not crazy.

Zuo Chao's unnatural smile: "each paper is only one hour, how can it be written by Hu?""Sometimes I can't finish it, but I get used to it as I do it."

"How many points can you get now?" When Jiao Zhinong heard this, he suddenly asked.

Tian Shichang hesitated and said, "the last monthly exam was 330 points, and usually it's not the total score."

"Now it's 330 points. Are you still employed as a worker?"

"Let's talk about it if we can." Tian Shichang himself can't make it clear.
