Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 807, Zhao Xiu'e's Unexpected Turn of Events
"This mission is very important. Apart from some professionals, everyone else must be on our covert front, because if we are exposed, it will cause an international uproar."

Zhao Ze was there, recounting his story.

Yang Xiaole listened quietly there as well.

Foreign fighter jets have now reached the fourth generation and officially entered service last year, while domestic ones are still hovering around the second generation.

Therefore, this fighter jet is very important.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "So, what do we need to do next?"

"The specific tasks haven't been determined yet, but we need to have people in charge of hauling cargo ships. And we need to prepare in advance."

Yang Xiaole naturally understood what he meant.

If we don't use cargo ships from mainland China, we can easily shift the blame if something really happens.

But the ship must be under control.

After all, it's such an important matter.

He pulled himself together and smiled, "Okay, I understand. I'll wait for your notification. I'll go to Japan to arrange things then."

He remembered that this matter was for next year.

There shouldn't be any major developments by the end of the year.

However, we definitely need to prepare in advance, and I don't know if we should go before the new year.

That’s settled.

The two then chatted there.

The question was naturally about Mr. Suo.

"My master is doing well over there. His son and grandson are with him. He should be back in a few years."

Zhao Ze nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Yes, that's good. It's not stable enough yet."

Yang Xiaole naturally understood what he meant.

Although the old man has passed away, his legend lives on, and many people still follow his path.

The path we take in the future still requires fierce debate.

The two ate for a long time before parting ways.

……

When Yang Xiaole returned home, Qu Ying was not there, so he went to the compound where his father lived.

"father!"

When she saw him coming, Yueyue ran over.

Yang Xiaole picked her up and kissed her: "What's wrong?"

"Dad, I want to sleep with Mom tonight!"

Yueyue pouted as she spoke.

Yang Xiaole knew that the little girl was talking about them moving back.

He smiled and agreed, "Sure! You can sleep wherever you want!"

"okay!"

Seeing this, Yueyue smiled and agreed, then got off Yang Xiaole and ran off to play.

Yang Xiaole glanced at his mother chatting with someone in the courtyard, ignored her, and went straight into the house.

Xizi wasn't home; he had gone to school to find his teacher.

Zhao Xiue was reading a book inside the house.

"Is everything settled?"

When Qu Ying saw him coming over, she smiled and asked him a question.

He spoke as he tidied his clothes.

There wasn't actually that much stuff!
Yang Xiaole nodded: "Yes, it's all set. Yueyue just said she wants to sleep at our place tonight! I guess Xingxing will do the same. We'll have them go home and come over during the day. If they go to school next summer, they can eat lunch at home."

Qu Ying thought for a moment, then smiled and agreed: "Sure, it's not that far anyway."

Yang Xiaole didn't say anything when he saw this.

After packing my things, I'll take them back first.

Everything went smoothly at home that evening. After dinner, I took the little ones home.

……

The next few minutes passed quickly.

After the college entrance examination was reinstated, the various compounds became lively again, with people borrowing books and materials from each other and studying together everywhere.

Many teachers even opened tutoring classes at the school, allowing people to attend for free.

For a time, the most important thing in the country seemed to be the college entrance examination.

12 month 6 day.

The three-day college entrance examination has begun in Beijing.

Every household sent their family members to the examination hall.

The first round of exams for postgraduate students will be held in about two weeks, at the end of December.

The first round of exams will be held in more than half a month, the second round will be in March or April, and enrollment will be in September.

Three days passed, and a tense atmosphere permeated the area.

Zhao Xiue had already gone back home, leaving her two children's mother there to take care of them.

……

On the third day, several people who were taking the college entrance examination gathered together in Yang Xiaole's courtyard.

Estimate the score.

These days, you register first, then you get the results.

Therefore, estimating scores is very important.

Several people gathered together.

The final result is in.

Xiaoli got the highest score.

The full score is 420 points, including 20 points for the math bonus questions. Her estimated score is higher than 360 points.

Summer's score is 340, so the difference between the two isn't that significant.

Yang Ziqiang estimated that he would score around 300 points.

Looking at everyone's scores, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Alright, you can fill in any university you want. Apply to whichever school you wish."

Many students achieved good results in this exam, but the overall results were not good.

The average math score was only around 20, which shows how dire the situation was.

Many people may have achieved the required grades, but they dare not apply to good schools.

There are just too many instances of gear slippage.

He remembered that the cutoff score for Sijiu City was 270, while the cutoff score for Tsinghua and Peking Universities was around 290.

After all, the gap between universities is not that big now.

Even with Yang Ziqiang's grades, he could choose whichever school he wanted to apply for.

Xizi, however, was filled with worry: "Second brother, do you think Xiu'e will be able to pass the exam?"

Sijiu City also recruits students in various provinces.

However, the admission scores were very high, so he was still a little worried.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any major problems."

Of all these people, Zhao Xiu'e actually had the best grades.

Because she doesn't have to work, she has plenty of time to study, and she also has him and Xizi tutoring her.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the problem shouldn't be too serious.

Xi Zi was relieved to hear this.

……

The exams are over, the temperature in the city has dropped, and everyone is waiting to fill out their college applications and then wait for notifications.

Yang Xiaole remembers that the notices for Beijing were not issued until after the Lunar New Year.

……

The Lunar New Year is fast approaching.

It's February in the Gregorian calendar now.

That day after work, the compound was bustling with activity.

When Yang Xiaole returned, he saw that Fang Mengmeng's house was very lively.

He smiled at the cheerful Fang Guoping and asked, "Teacher Fang, has the admission notice arrived? Which school?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guoping came out, beaming with joy: "Yes! I'm coming down, Beijing Normal University."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Congratulations, Teacher Fang."

"Hehe, thank you!"

Fang Guoping exchanged pleasantries for a moment, then smiled and said, "How's your family? Your family is doing well too! Your mother just said that your cousin Xiaomai got into the Central Conservatory of Music."

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole raised an eyebrow and smiled.

He naturally knew that Xiaomai had applied to the music academy.

As for the others, we have not received any notification yet.

Both Yang Ziqiang and Xia Tian were sent to work in the countryside, so their admission notices were naturally sent to their villages.

Zhao Xiue, being in northern Shaanxi, was even more unaware of the situation.

He smiled politely, "Then I'll ask later." Fang Guoping thought of something and asked curiously, "By the way, are there only a few people in your family taking the college entrance exam?"

Yang Xiaole smiled upon hearing this: "That's right, Qu Ying, my older brother, and I don't need to take the college entrance examination anymore."

As for the fact that a few people were taking the postgraduate entrance exam, they didn't publicize it.

After all, they weren't sure themselves.

Therefore, it has not been widely publicized for the time being.

The outside world only knows that their family has someone taking the college entrance exam.

Fang Guoping nodded in agreement: "That's true!"

In my heart, I was filled with emotion.

Even if they get into university, many people may not be able to reach the same level of success as Yang Xiaole's family in the future.

And Yang Xiaole and the others are so young.

"You guys get back to your work! I'm heading back now!"

Yang Xiaole said hello and left immediately.

Just as I was about to go back, I saw Xizi coming over, but her expression wasn't very good.

"what happened?"

Yang Xiaole found it strange.

This guy didn't take the college entrance exam, so there's no way he failed.

Upon hearing this, Xizi frowned and said, "Second Brother, come here, I need to talk to you about something."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was puzzled.

After moving aside, Xizi said, "Xiu'e called me from the county today. The college students in her brigade received their admission notices the day before yesterday, but she didn't receive hers!"

Yang Xiaole frowned upon hearing this: "That shouldn't be! Didn't she send a telegram saying she did well on the exam? How come she didn't? Did the county education bureau inquire about it?"

Of the group of students taking the college entrance exam, he trusted Zhao Xiue the most.

Although she comes from northern Shaanxi and doesn't talk much, she is a very honest person.

So I studied most diligently when I first arrived.

Her scores in mock exams were consistently the highest.

How could there not be?

Even if she's not good at politics, her other achievements are definitely enough.

Even if I can't come to Beijing, I'll definitely be able to go to Shaanxi University.

Xizi shook his head upon hearing this: "His grandfather asked people to inquire at the commune and county levels, and there is indeed no one named after her."

After listening, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment.

He said, "Alright, don't worry. I know what happened. Xiu'e applied to Beijing Normal University, didn't she?"

I had already decided on my college application before I left.

Zhao Xiue wants to go to Beijing Normal University.

He should already know the reason.

Someone else took my place.

Aside from this, there are basically no other reasons.

Zhao Xiulian's grandfather used to be the brigade secretary. Since the commune couldn't find anything about him, the problem must have occurred at the county level.

Not surprising.

In later years, he heard many stories of people being impersonated in the college entrance examination.

After all, these days there are no ID cards, only household registration books.

For school enrollment, all you need is your household registration booklet and admission certificate.

Moreover, due to the limited information available in that era, not receiving an admission notice was generally considered as failing the exam, and very few people would seek help from higher authorities.

Upon hearing this, Xizi asked anxiously, "Yes! We agreed that Beijing Normal University would be our first choice and Tsinghua University our second choice. What's going on?!"

How could he not be anxious?

If Zhao Xiue can't get into a university in Beijing, her household registration won't be transferred.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I told you, don't worry, I'm here for you! Even if she really doesn't pass the exam, I can still get her here."

The four people fell down.

Given Lao Wang's status, even without going to university, getting his household registration transferred wouldn't be a problem.

He then said, "You stay at home, I'll go check on things!"

After saying goodbye, he pushed the cart away from the courtyard.

After leaving, Yang Xiaole rode his bike to Beijing Normal University.

The place is not far, only four kilometers away.

It is located on Xinjiekouwai Street.

Upon arriving at the location, I quietly slipped inside and searched around.

The enrollment roster for this enrollment was found very quickly.

There are only 2 classes in total.

The number of people to be recruited is 72.

Zhao Xiue's name was prominently listed, and it was at the top of the list.

What does this mean?

This indicates that Zhao Xiue was admitted with the highest score this time.

The total score was a terrifying 395 points.

shook his head.

Just as he suspected, Zhao Xiue's spot was very likely taken by someone else.

He then quietly returned home.

When he returned, his older brother was also there.

"Big brother! Did your college acceptance letter arrive this summer?"

Looking at my cheerful older brother, there was no other reason besides this.

Upon hearing this, the older brother smiled and nodded: "Xia Tian called me from the commune and said he received the notification. He's from Tsinghua University and should be able to come back tomorrow. Ziqiang also received the notification and is at Beijing Institute of Technology."

Yang Xiaole smiled upon hearing this; "That's right, they all passed the exam. Xiaomai, Ziqiang, and Xiatian all passed. Now only Xiu'e is left."

But Xizi couldn't wait any longer.

"Second brother, what's the story about Xiu'e?"

Yang Xiaole looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I had someone check, and Beijing Normal University has a spot for her."

"Then why didn't she receive the notification? Those who did receive the notification have been gone for several days now."

Xizi became anxious.

"Don't rush! Has she said when she'll call you?"

"She's still in the county town! She gave me the guesthouse's phone number."

"That's fine. Tell her to ask around in the county again. If she still can't find out anything, she should take the train here by the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I'll help her resolve it. Her spot must have been taken by someone else."

It's early February now, and the last day for reporting is the end of February. It will take time to get here from northern Shaanxi.

It would be bad if we missed it.

"what?"

Xi Zi's mouth dropped open, and then she said, "How is that possible! Are they really that bold?"

He looked completely incredulous.

Yang Xiaole nodded: "That's very likely. Don't worry, I'll have someone put in a good word. If that person doesn't come, that's fine, but if they do, she'll be in trouble."

Xizi understood what he meant upon hearing this.

He quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go make the call!"

After saying that, he ran away.

After everyone left, the older brother, smoking a cigarette and frowning, said, "Are people really this brazen now? These people are incredibly audacious."

Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "Big brother, there are many bolder ones. These days, all you need for enrollment is a household registration book and an admission notice. You don't even need a photo. It's so easy to do."

Even if there were photos, it would be very easy to impersonate someone else.

Hearing this, the eldest brother sighed.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "By the way, I'm being transferred to a branch office soon."

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

"Oh? This is progress?"

My older brother has been going to the police station for seven or eight years now, and this is finally another step forward.

Upon hearing this, the older brother smiled and nodded, "Yes! Another step forward."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "That's a day full of good news! Let's have a couple of drinks later."

"I'm not drinking anymore. I just wanted to tell you about my school life in the summer. I'll go home for dinner later."

Seeing that he said that, Yang Xiaole did not force him.

I said goodbye to my family and then left.

As for Mom and Dad, they're chatting in the courtyard!
Having three family members admitted to university is something to brag about for a long time in the compound.

Even though Yang Ziqiang was her uncle's son and Xiaomai was already married, it was still something her mother could be proud of for a long time.

He shook his head, ignoring his parents' radiant faces.

This is after getting into university!
If all three members of a family were to pursue graduate studies, that would be quite a feat.
