Chapter 262: An Yinan?

Wang Chunmei curled her lip; she didn't know what kind of dog-shit luck Zhao Jiang had, but he actually passed the exam.

Although it was only a junior college, it was, after all, a way to leave this godforsaken place.

"It's just a junior college," Wang Chunmei snorted coldly.

In the past, she had wanted to pair up with Zhao Jiang to live her life, but who knew Zhao Jiang was blind and had actually taken a fancy to that slut Sun Xiaoqin.

Once that male Educated Youth heard this, he stopped bringing up the subject.

"This shouldn't be happening. The earlier notification letters have already arrived; why is there no movement on ours?" Everyone was unwilling to go to work these past few days, and there were people specifically waiting at the Daduibu, fearing that if the notification letters arrived, they would be taken by someone else.

Currently, identity verification was not yet that strict, and cases of people being impersonated were everywhere. An Yinan had long ago written to remind them that they must have someone specifically waiting for the notification letters and must not take it lightly.

Li Xiue was doing needlework in her hands and looked helplessly at Xie Yuanyuan, "Sit down, you're making me dizzy with all this pacing."

Xie Yuanyuan had just sat down, but she really couldn't help standing up again, "I can't sit still, how could I possibly sit still?"

She felt she had done well on the exam; even if she hadn't passed, there were still Li Xiu'e and Qiu Hua; they were both better at studying than her, and their admission letters hadn't arrived either, which was very unscientific.

"We aren't anxious, what are you anxious about?" Zhao Qiu Hua was tidying up her things; these past few days she had started packing, and once the admission letter came down, she planned to take Qian Zhao home for a visit.

After more than a year of studying, Qian Zhao and Zhao Qiu Hua had already established a revolutionary relationship.

After finishing the exam this time, they were also preparing to meet each other's parents; after all, Qian Zhao was already twenty-five, and Zhao Qiu Hua was already twenty-four. In this era, they both belonged to the category of older unmarried people.

"I'm anxious on your behalf, is that not allowed?" Xie Yuanyuan pouted, then sat down on the stool.

Just then, the sound of running footsteps rang out from outside.

"Quick, quick, the Captain wants you to tidy up and go to the Daduibu in a moment; someone wants to interview everyone." Qian Zhao ran up, panting and out of breath.

"Interview?" Zhao Qiu Hua asked.

Qian Zhao nodded, then looked at the three girls, "We passed, we all passed."

For a moment, everyone's first reaction wasn't cheering, but rather a silence.

Passed?

They had spent a massive amount of time, working during the day and studying at night—three years! A full three years of time, and they had passed!

"Alright, it's a good thing. The Captain wants everyone to tidy up, so let's change into some nice clothes and go straight to the Daduibu in a while," Li Xiue said with a smile.

"What? Beijing University?" The Educated Youth Courtyard had exploded.

Everyone disbelievingly picked at their ears, thinking their ears were blocked; otherwise, how could they have heard the name of the supreme institution of learning?

"Yes, Beijing University." That male Educated Youth was panting heavily, the surprise in his eyes not yet dissipated.

"They are too amazing; no wonder the admission letters only just arrived now," Liang Huan said with a smile on her face.

The order of the admission letters went from low to high: first technical secondary schools, then junior colleges, then undergraduate programs, with letters from nearby places arriving first, followed by universities further away.

At the very beginning, the people in the front courtyard had mocked those in the back; they had studied for so long, yet hadn't they failed the exam?

Who would have thought, where had they failed the exam?

It was just that their universities were too good, and they were in the final batch of letters to be issued.

"Educated Youth Li, Educated Youth Zhao, Educated Youth Xie, you've arrived? The comrades from the newspaper office have been waiting for a long time." The Captain wore a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth unable to be suppressed.

Not only had the Educated Youths passed, but three people in the village had also passed the university entrance exam.

Sanyang Commune currently only had university students from their village, and they were even students at Beijing University.

"Hello, Educated Youth comrades. I am a reporter for the Xinhua Daily. I would like to take a photo of you and conduct an interview, is that alright?" The reporter comrade spoke very politely. In this group of people, it wasn't just one Beijing University student, but a whole group.

If this report were to be released, what a sensation it would cause!

Everyone looked at Li Xiue, and Li Xiue nodded, "Yes, that's fine."

Nan Nan had said that if they all passed, the newspaper office would inevitably come to report on it, and this was the time for everyone to repay Quanshui Village.

Ever since the news of the College Entrance Examination was announced, the Captain had notified them that any comrade who had signed up could stop working and focus on reviewing at home to prepare for the exam.

The village had given them the greatest support.

"To be able to pass Beijing University, we must first thank everyone in Quanshui Village. In order for us to focus on our review, the village exempted us from work, and the people in the village would also regularly help us gather firewood, allowing us to review with our whole hearts," Li Xiue said with a smile. When she said these things, it wasn't forced in the slightest, because everything she said was the truth.

The Captain felt comforted in his heart; these Educated Youths were all sensible children.

The Xinhua Daily reporter asked questions, and everyone answered them attentively.

From time to time, a name would appear: An Yinan.

"An Yinan? This name sounds somewhat familiar," the reporter said, recalling. He really couldn't remember, so he looked at his photography partner.

The partner also frowned. In fact, he had also felt it was familiar at first, but he hadn't thought of it, so he hadn't mentioned it.

"Ah, I remember now!" The reporter's eyes widened.

"Who?" The cameraman looked over.

"An Yinan, Northeast Military Region, national top scorer!" Every time the reporter said a keyword, it pulled out a piece of memory.

When she finished saying the three keywords, the cameraman also found the point of memory overlap.

"That's right! How could I have forgotten?" The cameraman stopped his bicycle, and the two looked at each other.

Go back? That was impossible, and this national top scorer was not in Quanshui Village.

But that so many golden phoenixes had flown out of this mountain nest of Quanshui Village was truly surprising.

"Xiue, I still feel like I'm dreaming," Xie Yuanyuan said, clutching her admission letter, her whole person feeling light and airy.

Zhao Qiu Hua smiled helplessly, "Keep dreaming then, Xie Shuyang will pick you up anyway."

"I'm taking the train the day after tomorrow to take Qian Zhao back for a visit, and then I'm going straight to university. What about you all?" Zhao Qiu Hua looked at her companions.

Li Xiue smiled and said, "My ticket is later, it will be a few more days. These few days are just right for packing up my things."

"Don't look at me, I don't know," Xie Yuanyuan said, waving her hands quickly when she saw the two looking at her; she hadn't asked Xie Shuyang yet.

Five Beijing University admission letters and one Xinhua Daily report shocked the entire Heilongjiang Province.

And at this moment, at the Northeast Military Region.

"Sister-in-law, there's a letter for you, it looks like an admission letter." Today it was Xiaokang and Er Dan on guard duty again. Seeing the words "Beijing University" printed on it, they widened their eyes in surprise.

Over the past few days, several admission letters have arrived one after another, and I've heard of many different universities, but Beijing University—that one is truly in a league of its own.
