Chapter 125 Provincial Capital Daily
Li Ming was wearing a set of shorts, sandals and carrying a schoolbag. When he saw the fat man shouting, he walked over quickly without stopping.
"It's so hot this morning." Li Ming came closer and hid under the shade of a tree. "Don't speak yet."
He closed his eyes, then opened them, took a deep breath and asked, "Me? How many points?"
Ding Yu chuckled and said, "We haven't gone to see it yet. This is different from the pre-exam. Now the results have to be taken one by one with the admission ticket to get the list."
A few people started walking towards the office and entered the corridor of the podium building. They heard a few students discussing the admission score line in the province this year.
After a while, Qiu Huoming and his group arrived at the entrance of the College Entrance Examination Office. There were several people standing at the entrance, gathered in front of a wall, talking a lot. There were several pieces of paper pasted on the wall. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was the "Admissions Newsletter" newspaper, with both sides pasted on the wall.
Also posted next to it is a detailed list of scores for candidates admitted to Wucheng County last year.
Ding Yu looked at the door and suddenly said, "Huozi, why am I suddenly so nervous?"
Li Ming reached out and touched the sweat on his forehead, his face flushed, "It's over, me too, I'm a little afraid to go in."
Just as he finished speaking, a half-grown boy ran out of the office, howling and crying hysterically.
A teacher ran out and said, "The results should be collected by the parents. What will we do if something goes wrong?"
They are also afraid that these students might get into trouble if they don't think straight.
Ding Yu was even more frightened now, "What should I do, Huozi, can you help me get it?"
"If you stick your head out, you'll get hurt. What are you afraid of? Let's go." Qiu Huoming walked in first.
Gu Xiaoran followed closely in silence, her hands gently grasping the strap of her backpack, her knuckles slightly turning white.
Qiu Huoming took out his admission ticket and handed it over, "Teacher, please help me get the transcript."
After a while, she took out a sheet from the categorized lists beside her and said with a smile on her face, "Wait a moment, go to the teacher across the street and get the application form and envelope."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood that his score was above the admission line, but they didn't know whether it was above the undergraduate line, the junior college line, or the technical secondary school line.
Everyone was very nervous and didn't have time to ask. The second person was Gu Xiaoran. She also handed in her admission ticket. After a while, she also got a list. "You did well in the exam, girl. Go to the teacher opposite and get the application form and envelope."
Qiu Huoming had already walked out with the form and envelope and was waiting for them at the door.
He didn't wait long before he saw Gu Xiaoran walking out with a calm expression.
Before I could ask, I heard Ding Yu yelling, "Teacher, pinch me, I must be dreaming."
Qiu Huoming stuck his head in and looked inside.
Ding Yu was seen holding the report card and stretching his hand in front of the teacher.
The teacher handing out the report cards smiled, as if nothing had happened. "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and go get the report cards."
After a while, Ding Yu came out happily, "Huozi, classmate Gu, I'm here!"
"What did you get? You look so happy." Qiu Huoming asked.
"I passed the technical secondary school entrance exam! I passed the technical secondary school entrance exam!" Ding Yu held the envelope and the list in his hand, his face flushed, and the back of his shirt was soaked. "I didn't expect that I actually passed!"
Several students queuing outside immediately looked at him with envy.
Nowadays, technical secondary school graduates become cadre reserve team members and are guaranteed job assignment.
"Hey, you're amazing. Godmother will be so happy." Qiu Huoming patted his shoulder and praised him with a smile on his face.
Ding Yu carefully put away all the lists in his hand and said, "Huozi, Gu, I don't need to ask you two anymore. It must be the undergraduate line."
Qiu Huoming glanced at Gu Xiaoran, and they smiled at each other.
He nodded, and at this moment Li Ming just came out.
He pursed his lips and waved the list in his hand, "It's a junior college line. My dad will be disappointed. I can't go to the capital..."
He sighed, but his expression was not depressed at all, "Let's go and see what to apply for."
A student ran over from a distance and shouted at the top of his voice: "Those who have reached the score line, please go back to your classroom. The head teachers of each class will guide you on filling out your application forms on the spot... Please inform each other if you are present."
"Let's go." Everyone rushed to the teaching building. They hadn't been here for a few days, and the deserted teaching building seemed both familiar and somewhat strange.
After going up to the third floor, Qiu Huoming looked at the corridor he walked along every day. "The places we disliked before, we will probably miss them in the future..."
Gu Xiaoran nodded and agreed: "I will definitely miss this place..."
"It's okay. I can't leave the province anymore. When you come back from other places, I will be responsible for receiving you. My home is your home! Remember to come back often."
Ding Yu patted his chest and said.
"And me, with my grades, I can only go to a technical college in the provincial capital..." There was no disappointment on Li Ming's face, but rather a hint of excitement.
The door and windows of the classroom were open. Teacher Huang was standing on the podium, spreading out a few newspapers in his hand. He turned around and saw them, and waved, "Come in, come in!"
"Wait a little longer, there are still two people who haven't arrived yet." Teacher Huang walked to the window and looked down.
There was already a male classmate sitting in the classroom. He was a boarding student and was not familiar with Qiu Huoming and the others. He had a happy look on his face, and it seemed that he had also passed the exam.
After a few minutes, I heard brisk footsteps coming down the corridor.
Two students, a boy and a girl, walked in. The girl was He Xinxin's deskmate, and the boy was a short guy sitting in the first row, who looked 2 or 3 years younger than Qiu Huoming.
"Okay, everyone is here." Teacher Huang didn't cough this time and went straight to the point.
"Our class did well in the exam this time. A total of seven students passed."
"This time, the admission score for science majors in our province is 367 points, and for liberal arts majors it is 397 points."
"This time, four students in our class were admitted to undergraduate programs, one to associate programs, and two to technical secondary schools."
Besides, the first and second place in science in our province are both in our class!" Teacher Huang's wrinkles were squeezed together by her smile, and her glasses were loosened from the squeeze.
Li Ming is a junior college graduate, so it definitely can't be him. Ding Yu looked at Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran suspiciously.
Qiu Huoming unfolded the report card. This time, he only lost 2 points in politics, 3 points in mathematics, 1 point in physics, and 5 points in Chinese. The rest of the subjects were full marks.
He scored 629 points.
With this score, almost all domestic universities will offer him an offer.
Gu Xiaoran also spread out her transcript. Her total score was 620 points, and the subjects in which she was deducted points were almost the same as Qiu Huoming's.
At this moment, a noisy sound came from downstairs, and Qiu Huoming stuck his head out to take a look.
A ladder was set up downstairs, and banners were being hung on both sides. The location was a bit off, so the words on them could not be seen clearly.
"Fuck! Huozi, you are the top scorer in science!" Ding Yu exclaimed after getting closer to see his grades clearly.
Teacher Huang said with a smile: "Qiu Huoming got first place, and Gu Xiaoran got second place. This time, you are going to be famous."
Li Ming looked at them enviously, then looked at his transcript. His score was only five points away from the undergraduate score line.
Teacher Huang gave one of the two "Enrollment Newsletters" in his hand to Qiu Huoming and the other to the girl. "Pass them around. Let me tell you roughly, universities like Tsinghua and Peking University in the capital can recruit about 40 people in each province. They are the two universities with the most intense competition..."
"I personally admire these two universities very much. Their heritage is incomparable to schools in small places like ours. I was fortunate enough to visit them once. The cultural atmosphere and architectural complexes there really made me admire them..."
"There are 88 key universities in my country. The top 1000 students in the province have a chance to get in. The rest should focus on applying to provincial undergraduate universities. If you have achieved the junior college admission score and have excellent grades, you can apply to a ministry-affiliated junior college. If you have average grades, I still recommend applying to provincial junior colleges. As for technical secondary schools, I personally recommend applying to provincial technical secondary schools."
As soon as he finished speaking, a security guard ran over and said, "Teacher Huang, please ask Qiu and Gu from your class to come down."
"What's the matter? I'm just talking about filling out the application form!" Teacher Huang asked as he stepped down from the podium and walked to the door.
"Take pictures. Director Jiang said it would be published in the newspapers." The security guard said while running with sweat all over his forehead.
"Okay, let's take a picture first, and then we can come up and talk about it in detail after we take the picture."
Qiu Huoming stood up and looked at his clothes. Fortunately, he had changed into new clothes in the morning.
He and Gu Xiaoran went downstairs one after the other.
Two red banners had been hung on the first floor of the teaching building, and the ladder was leaning against the wall and had been moved away by two security guards.
Qiu Huoming came closer and saw two lines of text written on it: [Warm congratulations to Qiu Huoming for winning the first place in the science subject of the provincial college entrance examination in 1982]
[Warm congratulations to Gu Xiaoran for winning the second place in the 1982 provincial college entrance examination in science]
He and Gu Xiaoran exchanged a glance. Gu Xiaoran used his hands to tidy up his somewhat untidy bangs and asked, "Is your hair messy?"
"It's okay, it's not messy."
"Qiu Huoming, Gu Xiaoran, come here." Director Jiang, an old acquaintance, was standing next to a dusty young man who was carrying a camera on his back.
"He is reporter Li, a reporter from the provincial capital's daily newspaper. He came all the way from the provincial capital. You will follow his instructions and cooperate with him in taking photos."
"Hello, Reporter Li." Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran's voices sounded one after another.
"Hey, you're welcome. You are all young talents. Just call me Brother Li. How about this, you guys stand together under the banner and take a photo." Reporter Li led them to stand in the middle of the stairs of the teaching building.
"Just stand here..." He took a few steps back and lowered his head to frame the scene.
He was holding a Seagull twin-lens reflex camera. The viewfinder of this camera is on the top of the camera. The people and scenery seen in the viewfinder are upside down, and it uses 120 film.
Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran stood side by side, and only heard reporter Li shouting from the bottom of the stairs, "Don't be so serious, come on, smile..."
Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran raised their lips at the same time, and with a "click", the shutter sounded.
"Don't move, I'll take a few more pictures. Keep smiling, very good..." "Click, click", after a few clicks, reporter Li raised his head and walked over, "Now I'll take a few pictures of you individually..."
A few minutes later, reporter Li finally changed the location. He took them to the school gate and took several more photos at the school gate in the same way.
"Brother Li, if the newspaper doesn't need this photo, can you send it to me?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"Okay, I'll send it to your school. Just remember to pick it up later."
"Thank you Brother Li."
"You're welcome. There's no point in me holding on to these extra photos anyway. Wait a moment, I'll go upstairs with you. You can sit in the classroom later and I'll take a few more photos." Reporter Li put the camera on his back and walked excitedly towards the teaching building.
Qiu Huoming looked at the blazing sun in the sky and said, "Let's go, classmate Gu. This should be the last game."
Gu Xiaoran shielded her eyes from the sun with her hands and walked beside him, smiling as she said, "Save some photos for me when the time comes..."
"I'll send it to you when I get it."
"Okay, I'll be in Wucheng County until the notice arrives."
The teaching building was in front of him. After walking for several years, he felt reluctant to leave. Qiu Huoming looked at the playground with strong sunlight, the two dilapidated buildings in front of him, the football field without a protective net, and the basketball stand next to it was only a frame...
When they arrived at the teaching building, Qiu Huoming withdrew his gaze, walked up the stairs, and walked towards the classroom side by side with Gu Xiaoran.
Reporter Li walked very fast and had already reached the third floor in advance. He stood in the corridor and took a photo of the corridor. When he saw them coming up, he immediately said, "Which classroom? We will try to be as real as possible this time. Please sit down in your seats..."
During the conversation, Qiu Huoming led him into the classroom.
"Teacher Huang, this is reporter Li from the provincial daily newspaper. He wants to take some photos of the classroom." Qiu Huoming introduced reporter Li's identity to Teacher Huang.
"Welcome, welcome, please come in." Teacher Huang immediately came over with a smile.
"You're welcome. I'll just take a few pictures and then leave." Reporter Li smiled and shook hands with Teacher Huang, then watched Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran sit back in their original seats by the window.
"Your seats are so far back... Hey, the other students, please sit over there too. It will be a little more compact this way."
"Teacher Huang, please come in from the back door. Look calmer, smile, and walk slowly... Okay, stop..."
Reporter Li then gave a close-up of Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran. He then raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's done." He put the camera into his camera bag and said loudly in the direction of Qiu Huoming, "I'll send you a copy of the newspaper later." After that, he turned around and walked out.
Qiu Huoming, Gu Xiaoran and other students stood up together. Teacher Huang quickly followed them to the door and said politely, "Reporter Li, take care..."
Ding Yu then whispered, "The technical secondary school has a business school, a grain school, a normal school, a medical school, and an agricultural machinery school. I'm dizzy. Can you help me look..."
He held the notebook in his hand and pointed to the notes he had just made.
Qiu Huoming looked at them and pointed at the first one and said, "I think business school is suitable for you, but you should go home and ask your parents for their opinions."
Teacher Huang sent reporter Li away and walked back to the podium. "We were just talking halfway. Let's continue..."
