Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

In the previous life, Ye Fan could have taught Chen Xiaohui. But Ye Fan didn't need her to teach him in the previous life, because Ye Fan got the scores first and then filled in the application. This life is just the opposite - estimate the scores and fill in the application.

After dinner, Geng Zhiye went out to see the children, and Ye Fan was alone thinking about how to reply to the letter.

Ye Fan didn't know how many points Chen Xiaohui could get, nor did he know the situation of others, so he reminded Chen Xiaohui to write down the answers after leaving the examination room, so that she could estimate the scores after taking all the subjects, and then choose her major first and then choose the school. To be on the safe side, she estimated the scores lower.

After Ye Fan finished writing his reply to Chen Xiaohui, he sent a similar letter to her sister-in-law.

After Geng Zhiye watched Dabao and Erbao fall asleep and went back to the bedroom, Ye Fan handed him the two letters. Geng Zhiye glanced at them and could only write: "I will help you mail them tomorrow?"

Ye Fan nodded: "I will go to the Five Star Brigade tomorrow. Fortunately, there is a small kiln factory on the island, and there are carpenters, otherwise the bricks, tiles, beams and wood will all be shipped from outside the island, and the cost will increase by 30%."

Geng Zhiye: "Are you almost done?"

Ye Fan: "The machines will be in place before the winter solstice. A few days ago, Su Yuanhang went to the city to report on his work and asked for an oven and a canning machine. They gave him two. Old ones!"

Geng Zhiye was just about to ask why they were so generous: "The oven is from the food factory, where they used to bake cookies? The machine for making canned food is from the canning factory?"

"Yes." Ye Fan said, "I also know that in addition to the canning factory, there is also a biscuit factory in the city. But the biscuits are not as delicious as the calcium milk biscuits. Fortunately, it is a planned economy now."

"The market economy doesn't need you to worry about it. You're in charge of everything, so what else do the relevant departments need to do?" Geng Zhiye sealed the envelope. "Address..." He saw the address on the envelope, and even the stamp was affixed. "Express delivery?"

Ye Fan nodded: "If she receives the letter earlier, she can study with peace of mind earlier."

Geng Zhiye thought to himself that he was afraid that she would have unrealistic expectations.

"She" refers to Chen Xiaohui. Geng Zhiqin listens to Ye Fan very much, and Geng Zhiye is not worried. If she performs normally, she will be able to go to school. Geng Zhiye is worried that his stepmother will nag him, and Geng Zhiqin will not be interested in reviewing, or because of this, he will be stressed and nervous in the exam room, confused, and perform poorly.

Geng Zhiye asked: "Should we write a letter to Aunt Yu and ask her to talk less recently?"

Ye Fan: "It's useless. After enduring for a few months, it's not impossible that on the morning of the exam, one word from me will make Xiao Qin not want to take the exam."

Geng Zhiye lay down: "Let it be. Whoever has the right children should worry about them!"

"That's how it should be." Ye Fan pulled the quilt: "Turn off the lights."

Geng Zhiye reached out and turned off the light. "Chen Xiaohui, you can ask your elder brother. Isn't it better to go far away to find you?"

Ye Fan: "Ye Jin would say, don't be nervous, just try your best, it doesn't matter if you don't pass. If Chen Xiaohui asks about filling out the application form, Ye Jin would say you can study the major you like."

"What does Chen Xiaohui like?"

Ye Fan was not sure: "Collecting antiques?" Thinking that it was really possible, he quickly stood up and said, "Write to me and I'll add another sentence."

Geng Zhiye pulled her to lie down. "What do you want to study? History? We all thought that the college entrance examination would be resumed next summer, but it was scheduled before the New Year. Not only are the candidates not ready, but the schools are not ready either. There may not be a history major."

Ye Fan: "What about archaeology?"

Geng Zhiye: "Can she bear it?"

Ye Fan thought of many things in an instant, such as the deserted cemetery and the thousand-year-old corpse. "She is not young anymore. If she really wants to study antiques, she will apply for a related major. But if that's the case, why ask me?"

Geng Zhiye sighed, turned on the light, carefully opened the letter he had just sealed, and asked Ye Fan to add a sentence: major in archaeology or history.

After Ye Fan finished writing, he gave him the pen with a shy smile and said, "Captain Geng, please seal it for me again."

Geng Zhiye sealed the envelope and asked helplessly, "Can we go to sleep now?"

"Sleep, now." Ye Fan lay down, "Isn't it nine o'clock yet?"

Geng Zhiye’s answer: turn on the light.

Ye Fan grabbed his hand and said, "Are you angry? Are you really angry?"

"One second ago, you agreed with me that whoever owns their children should take care of them. What happened?"

Ye Fan: "Since my mom is taking care of Dabao and Erbao, I should help her too."

"If she's not my mother-in-law's biological daughter, get out of here as far as you can." Geng Zhiye got angry whenever he mentioned her. "Are you sure she's the Ye family's biological daughter? She looks about 70% like my mother-in-law when she was young?"

Ye Fan: "If it's fake, I won't be able to scare Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping."

Geng Zhiye thought about how the couple was almost frightened by Ye Fan's words: "That's true. They were afraid that Chen Xiaohui would send them in. But they were afraid of Chen Xiaohui, and Chen Xiaohui was afraid of them?"

Ye Fan: "We need to report a case. The police need to investigate and collect evidence, right? During this time, Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to make a scene. When she is admitted to school, they can go to the school to make a scene. Besides, more than 20 years have passed, and after those ten years, many medical staff may have been transferred or died. Someone saw Chen Kuanren swapping children, and it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to find that person. The police pay attention to evidence when handling cases. Can they really determine that Chen Xiaohui is the biological daughter of the Ye family based on a photo and then arrest her?"

Geng Zhiye: "We should have asked Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping to produce evidence."

Ye Fan: "They definitely can't prove that Chen Xiaohui is not their biological daughter. If Chen Xiaohui is my mother's biological daughter, would they really ask Chen Xiaohui to return to the Chen family?"

"What a headless case." Geng Zhiye couldn't help but laugh, "I always thought you didn't want to get involved with that family, and you also took into account Chen Xiaohui's relationship with them, so you chose not to report the case."

Ye Fan: "If I don't report the case, they won't dare to act recklessly. Once I report the case, the police won't find anything, and I won't have to get involved with the Chen family. Chen Xiaohui is their daughter in law. They are morally blackmailing Chen Xiaohui, and my mother must be worried about it." Suddenly I remembered something, "Didn't Chen Xiaohui say that the city hukou is strictly controlled? How did she move so quickly? She finished it in the morning and came back by bus at noon."

"The immigration control from rural areas to cities is very strict." Geng Zhiye thought carefully about what happened that day. "Chen Kuanren didn't dare to mention the mistake. He said that my mother-in-law had a dangerous job before, so he sent Chen Xiaohui to them for care. There were photos as evidence. Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping signed as guarantors together. If there were any problems in the future, they could be contacted. The staff agreed."

Ye Fan said: "Look, my mother indirectly admitted that it was not a mistake. If I really report it to the police, the public security organs will also suspect that my mother is lying again."

Geng Zhiye sighed, "It's very difficult to deal with." He couldn't help but curse, "It's all the fault of those two old guys."

"Go to sleep. We got up late, so the eldest and second child dare to cook for themselves." A few days ago, she was busy with shipping and got off work late. When she got home, the two children were in the kitchen discussing whether to cook with a stove or a ground pot.

I'm not busy recently, so Ye Fan plans to teach Dabao how to cook using a clay pot.

I had planned to teach Dabao how to use the stove. But there was a kettle on the stove, and Dabao was small, so he might get scalded by the kettle or the hot water inside when he lifted the kettle down. When cooking noodles in a pot, Dabao put cold water in the pot, and Erbao watched the fire. When the water boiled, Dabao threw the noodles in, and they could be fished out when they were cooked. There was no need to seal the stove or put the kettle in after the meal was done.

The next afternoon, when Dabao and Erbao came back from school, Ye Fan taught Dabao how to pick vegetables, wash vegetables, and cook noodles.

The noodles were cooked, and Dabao felt very accomplished. But when he ate them, he couldn't help but frowned: "Mom, they're not as delicious as you make them."

Ye Fan: "You want to cook better than mom for the first time, are you a god chef?"

"But I did what my mother taught me."

Ye Fan: "Mom usually puts some seafood or eggs in her cooking. Your noodles only have vegetables."

"Why didn't you remind me to put the eggs in?"

Ye Fan took a bite of noodles: "Do you understand?"

Dabao didn’t understand.

Erbao seemed to understand: "Brother, you can't become fat in one bite!"

Ye Fan: "Dabao, learn a little today, learn a little tomorrow, and you will be able to make a bowl of noodles in a few days."

"I don't want to eat noodles tomorrow."

Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "Mom will do something else."

The next morning, Ye Fan took a pack of noodles to the Shanxi Brigade and exchanged them for two rice cakes. Ye Fan had eaten the rice cakes made by the islanders before, and they were more delicious than the ones he had in the downtown restaurant after getting off the train.

Ye Fan was worried that the rice cakes would get moldy, so he put them in water when he got home. When he was ready to eat, he would take one and cut it into slices, then stir-fry it with eggs, vegetables, and prawns.

Geng Zhiye didn't come back at noon, so the mother and her two daughters ate fried vegetable cakes.

After eating a few pieces of rice cake, Dabao exclaimed, "Mom, I found that people on the island are also good at eating."

Ye Fan: "It's not the first time I've eaten rice cakes, you just discovered it?"

Dabao shook his head: "I was young before and didn't understand."

Ye Fanxin said, you are not that old now: "Erbao, is it delicious?"

Erbao: "Mom, don't put the shrimp in, you still have to peel them."

Ye Fan thought for a moment: "Will you add shrimp in the future?"

Erbao nodded and said shrimps were fine.

Dabao immediately asked if he could make shrimp dumplings.

Ye Fan was speechless: "Finish the rice cake first. Oh, there's another one under the chopping board. Do you want to eat it tomorrow or tonight?"

Dabao burped and asked to eat at noon tomorrow.

The next day at noon, Ye Fan picked a cabbage and fried it with rice cake. Originally, Ye Fan wanted to cook rice cake, but thought about exchanging noodles for rice flour in two days and then cooking rice flour, so he decided to continue to fry rice cake.

This time, the eldest and second babies ate it all up again.

When he was working at a supply and marketing cooperative, Ye Fan often heard colleagues or customers complain about their children being picky eaters. Looking at his two children, Ye Fan thought that there were not so many picky eaters. It was okay for the children to not like the food if it was not to their taste.

After dinner, Ye Fan washed the pots and dishes, asked Erbao to move the bench aside, and asked Dabao to wipe the table and sweep the floor.

After the dining table was cleaned, Dabao and Erbao put the dining table stools in place and cleaned the coffee table. Ye Fan came out of the kitchen and saw that the living room had become very tidy: "You two cleaned it?"

Dabao pointed at the coffee table and said, "My sister took the things down and I wiped them. After I wiped them clean, my sister put the things back."

Ye Fan: "So you are sweating? Give mom the rag and come out with mom to wash your face."

The brother and sister hid back together.

Ye Fanqi laughed: "You're going to school sweating all over?"

The brother and sister went out obediently.

Ye Fan cleaned the rag and pressed the water: "Dabao, roll up your sleeves."

"I know." Dabao rolled up his sleeves and washed his face with water.

Erbao learns from his brother.

Ye Fan handed the two children towels, watched them wipe themselves clean, and then applied Maxam to them: "Isn't it nice to smell good?"

Dabao muttered, "I'm a boy."

Ye Fan: "Don't say your dad stinks in the future."

Dabao smiled and ignored the comment, running into the house to get his schoolbag.

Ye Fan waited for him in the yard, and then sent him and Erbao to school.

Dabao, carrying his schoolbag, held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, my butt has healed a long time ago. It's not raining. You don't have to send me and my sister off."

Ye Fan: "The food factory is not busy, and my mother has nothing to do at home, so I wanted to send you off."

Dabao thought about it carefully and said: "You can knit a scarf for dad."

"Your dad trains so often he doesn't need a scarf."

Dabao realized: "Because my sister and I have it, but dad doesn't, does that mean he wants it? Dad is so childish."

Ye Fan: "Keep your voice down. Don't let dad hear."

Dabao subconsciously looked around, but didn't see his father. He saw Niu Xiaocao and said, "Let's wait for Xiaocao."

Ye Fan stopped, Xiao Cao also saw Ye Fan and ran over. However, the road was uneven, so Ye Fan couldn't help but remind her to slow down.

The little girl was able to play with Dabao, and she was also a worry. She jumped and said, "I'm watching. Aunt Ye, do you think my brother can pass the exam? You didn't allow me to talk these past few days. It's so annoying!"

Ye Fan: "Your brother doesn't mind the noise. He's easily distracted by your talking, and has to review what he just memorized again, which wastes time. Wait a minute, you mean your brother is at home every day? Didn't he find a teacher for tutoring?"

Niu Xiaocao thought about what to say: "I'll go to the teacher for tutoring on Sundays and weekdays. I'll be at the teacher's house at 7:00 and be back after 8:00. I think I have to memorize history and other subjects by myself. I heard from Sister Miaomiao that we'll study math in the last ten days. I'll learn as much as I can."

Dabao asked curiously, "Mom, is the time short?" Ye Fan nodded, "The exam schedule has been announced. It will be on December 15th and 16th. Students majoring in English may have to take another English exam on the 17th."

Dabao suddenly realized: "No wonder I felt like something was missing, it turns out Sister Miaomiao didn't learn foreign languages."

Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "You still think so? Go to school quickly."

Dabao held his sister's hand and waved at Ye Fan with his other hand: "Mom, please come home soon."

As soon as Ye Fan got home, he rode his bike to the Five-Star Brigade.

The food factory is located on the hillside three miles east of the Five-Star Brigade and three miles from the sea. Ye Fan was surprised to see the captain of the Five-Star Brigade there: "You've been keeping an eye on us these days?"

The captain smiled and said, "The food factory is our island's food factory. There's no need to distinguish between you and me. If it's repaired sooner, we can use the oven to make dried fish sooner."

Ye Fan: "There are only two ovens."

The team leader: "I heard about it. We have discussed it before. We will dry the fruits ourselves on normal days. If it rains, we will ask you to help us process them. By the way, Director Su passed the exam, so the food factory will be without a director, right?"

Ye Fan: "The factory director needs to be appointed by the higher-ups. I will also ask Su Yuanhang to pick a few candidates and submit them to him."

The team leader: "Speaking of this, I met Secretary Su here a few days ago, and he said that the job assigned to Director Su after graduating from university may not be as good as the one he has now."

Ye Fan frowned: "What does he mean?"

"I think he's afraid that Director Su will settle down in Hangzhou in the future. He has three daughters and one son. If his son passes the exam, he and his wife will have no hope."

Ye Fan was upset: "It's not like I don't have a pension. I can just move over when I need someone to take care of me. How dare Su Yuanhang disown his parents? He wants his son to bring honor to the family, and he also wants his son to be around. How can it be that good of a thing?"

The team leader said, "Isn't it possible for him to take over? He said before that after he has worked for 30 years, Director Xiao Su can take over. So he asked Director Xiao Su to go to the commune. Although he can't be the secretary, the commune office is less than two miles away from his home."

Ye Fan really didn't like the current succession policy. But many people liked it, so Ye Fan couldn't say anything: "Is the Revolutionary Committee gone?"

The captain nodded: "Many are gone."

Ye Fan: "It's time for the commune to change."

The team leader wanted to ask how it had changed, but suddenly remembered that it was not called Hengshan Commune before, but Hengshan Township. "So it's not safe to work in the commune?"

Ye Fan nodded: "It's safest to get into college. Just listen to what Su Yuanhang's father says. Things are changing every day outside now, and his brain can't keep up."

The team leader thought it was a bit exaggerated, so he smiled and changed the subject, saying that the roof beams and tiles could be put up by the end of November.

Ye Fan: "It won't delay anything if it's done by the end of the tenth month of the lunar calendar." He paused, "Since you're watching over me, should I go back?"

"Wait a minute!" the captain called out, "You asked us to get the silt out of the river to plant crops. We planted sweet potatoes on the silt a few months ago, and to our surprise, they not only survived, but also grew very big. I'll give you a few pounds."

Ye Fan shook his head: "No need. The Shanxi Brigade gave me a pack a few days ago and I only ate half of it. Captain Geng is not at home, so I can't eat that much."

The captain of the Five-Star Brigade thought of trying to plant sweet potatoes when he saw the Shanxi Brigade planting sweet potatoes by the river: "Did you remind the Shanxi Brigade to plant sweet potatoes?"

Ye Fan: "One time I saw that there was nothing planted on the shore, which was a pity, so I asked the members what was going on. The members said that they could just dry it and plant it next year. I thought that there was no need to buy sweet potato vines, and it wouldn't be a pity if they died, so I asked them to give it a try."

"We decided to plant sweet potatoes with the same idea. It's just that it's troublesome to harvest the sweet potatoes because some of the soil is too hard."

Ye Fan: "It will be fine after two years. By the way, I heard from the members that we should change the crops. Should we plant sweet potatoes this year and something else next year?"

The captain nodded: "That's what I mean. But we can only grow drought-resistant crops. Watering is troublesome."

The Shanxi Brigade didn't have a diesel tractor, and couldn't connect a water pipe for irrigation, so Ye Fan didn't have any good ideas. Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind, "Use a ladle?"

The captain said: "Before, we just drew water from the boat and carried it to the fields for irrigation."

Ye Fan shook his head: "People are on the boat, using bamboo poles tied to scoops to draw water and sprinkle it on the ground."

The muddy areas in the lake are small, and a bucket of water can be sprinkled from one side to the other. If Ye Fan's method is used, there is no need to get on and off the boat, nor to circle around the area. The boat can be parked on one side to complete the watering task.

The captain couldn't help but say, "That's a good idea. Accountant Ye, you're really smart."

Ye Fan shook his head: "Some places do it this way. It's not that I'm smart, it's that I know a lot. In some places, the fields are on the hills, like stairs, one level after another. But the hills here are not like that, there are rocks underneath."

The captain smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything reckless."

Since he could say this, Ye Fan had nothing to worry about.

When Ye Fan got home, she saw Zhuang Qiuyue and Liu Guihua basking in the sun and breeze outside her house, so she invited them into the house.

Liu Guihua sat on the bench and took a long breath: "It's still more comfortable inside."

Ye Fan: "Are you worried about disturbing Miaomiao and Xiaoshan from reviewing at home? Didn't Miaomiao review with Xiaoshan?"

Liu Guihua: "We read together when we need to help each other, and we stay apart at other times. Oh, I don't even dare to speak loudly recently. There's still more than a month left, how can I get through it?"

Ye Fanxin said, you think it’s a long time, but the two children don’t think so.

Not only Liao Miaomiao and Niu Xiaoshan, but everyone on the island who took the college entrance examination felt that time flew by.

On the afternoon of December 14, the captain of the Lotus Brigade drove the educated youth, Su Yuanhang and others to the gate of the food factory. Su Yuanhang came to call Liao Miaomiao and Niu Xiaoshan.

Ye Fan heard the noise and came out of his house. When he got to the gate, he happened to see Xiao Shan and Miao Miao coming out with their luggage. Seeing the two of them looking worried, Ye Fan asked, "What's wrong?"

Liao Miaomiao opened her mouth to say something, but tears came out first: "There's still a lot to watch."

Ye Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You want to apply to the country's top university?"

Liao Miaomiao shook her head subconsciously.

Ye Fan: "That's it. Just do what you know, and if you do it correctly, you will definitely be admitted to university. Let's not talk about the fact that you two have just graduated from junior high school. Ask Su Yuanhang, does he dare to say that he remembers everything he has seen?"

Su Yuanhang shook his head: "Don't cry. You are only in your teens. As for me, I only have one chance. If it weren't for the fact that I took the college entrance examination in 1966, which means I belong to the third batch, I would have been eliminated this year because I am already 30 years old."

This year's college entrance examination not only has age requirements, but also family background requirements. Many children who were previously classified as "black/five categories" are unable to take the college entrance examination.

Captain Niu talked to Liao Miaomiao and Niu Xiaoshan about the college entrance examination policy, and inevitably mentioned the age requirement. After Su Yuanhang said this, the two felt much better.

Su Yuanhang said, "Let's go. Let's stay at the guesthouse and learn the way to avoid getting lost tomorrow."

Liu Guihua gave Su Yuanhang ten yuan. Su Yuanhang was surprised: "You didn't give them any money?"

"Here you go. Take it. In case they lose their money, you'll have money to eat." Liu Guihua stuffed it in her hand.

Seeing this, Zhuang Qiuyue hurriedly took out money, but she only had two dollars in her pocket, so she said she would go home to get more money. Ye Fan stopped her and took out ten dollars from his pocket and gave it to Su Yuanhang: "You don't have to pay me back."

Zhuang Qiuyue said thank you to Ye Fan very embarrassedly.

Ye Fan shook his head nonchalantly: "Let's go." Then he winked at Su Yuanhang. Su Yuanhang asked Miaomiao and Xiaoshan to go first, and he whispered to Ye Fan: "Anything else?"

Ye Fan: "Write down your answers after you leave the examination room, but don't check them yet."

Su Yuanhang nodded: "Will making a mistake easily affect the next performance?"

Ye Fan: "That's what I mean. But if I don't write down the answers, I won't be able to estimate my scores and fill in my application later."

Having been away from school for many years, "filling in applications" was very unfamiliar to Su Yuanhang. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered "college entrance examination applications". He thanked Ye Fan and asked Ye Fan to stay.

Ye Fan went home to wake up Dabao and Erbao who were taking a nap.

The winter in Jiangnan is cold and gloomy. Dabao and Erbao don't want to get up after they get into the warm bed. Ye Fan picked up Erbao and put on his coat and pants, "Dabao, Miaomiao and Xiaoshan are gone."

Dabao sat up: "Where are you going?"

Ye Fan: "Take the boat to the city to take the college entrance examination tomorrow."

Dabao suddenly came to his senses: "Is the college entrance examination tomorrow?"

Ye Fan: "Mom told me that during dinner. What's your memory? Get up quickly."

Dabao came down from the upstairs: "Mom, are you going to take the exam? You go to the capital to attend university, and my sister and I will go to grandma's house."

Geng Zhiye discussed this issue with Ye Fan, and Ye Fan also thought about it carefully: "After Su Yuanhang passes the exam, the higher-ups will send a factory director. If that factory director is difficult to get along with, Mom will resign. When your dad goes to another place and it is inconvenient for him to accompany the army, and you guys are grown up, Mom will take the college entrance exam."

If Ye Fan had not died of exhaustion in her previous life, with her personality, she would not have married early. She would have waited to take the college entrance examination like Chen Xiaohui, or waited for the reform and opening up to start a business.

Dabao puts on his shoes: "Can Uncle Su pass the exam?"

Ye Fan: "He looks very relaxed, I guess."

However, Ye Fan did not expect that he could be admitted to a key university led by the Academy of Sciences.

The day the admission letter was delivered to the island, the whole island was in an uproar.

It was almost the New Year, and Ye Fan was receiving goods at the food factory. The captain of the Lotus Brigade drove a hand tractor to tell her that he was more excited than he was when he passed the exam. He first said who received the admission letter first and who sent it to Su Yuanhang, and then said how happy the Su family was. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Accountant Ye, would Yuanhang be the top scholar in ancient times?"

Ye Fan: "Seriously?"

The captain nodded.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "It's hard enough to be a candidate."

The captain was shocked: "——Is that the man who passed the imperial examination and went crazy?"

Ye Fan nodded: "In ancient times, the Spring Examination was held every three years, which means that the top student among the national college students in those three years was called the Zhuangyuan. Su Yuanhang is not the top student in the province, right?"

The captain shook his head: "Oh, there is one more thing. Secretary Su said that he will host a banquet at his house tomorrow. Please come over."

Ye Fan chuckled: "He invites me to go? I'm too lazy to pay attention to him!"

The captain was surprised: "Not going?"

Ye Fan shook his head: "No!" He paused and said, "If Su Yuanhang sets up a table at the food factory, I will definitely ask him to prepare 18 dishes and bring Dabao and Erbao to the feast."

The captain thought to himself, it was such a long time ago, was it necessary for you to do so?

Ye Fan didn't need to care so much, nor did he need to give Su Yuanhang's father this face. His father didn't have such a big face. "You go and do your work. Su Yuanhang can understand." Ye Fan said again.

The captain sighed, "Okay. But with his father's temper, he won't care if you don't go."

Ye Fan: "It has nothing to do with me!"

When the captain went out, Ye Fan thought of Su Yuncheng and followed him out to ask, "How did Su Yuncheng do in the exam?"

"He said it's okay. He wrote down everything he knew, and everything he wrote was correct. But the notice for Yuanhang has been delivered, but there's still no sign of him. I think it's unlikely." The captain hopes that all the candidates from the Lotus Brigade can be admitted.

Ye Fan: "Miao Miao and Xiao Shan's haven't been delivered yet, they should be on the way."

The captain: "Tomorrow is Laba Festival."

Ye Fan: "There are still more than 20 days until the Chinese New Year, and more than a month before the start of school next year. It's still a long way to go."

Seeing Ye Fan so confident, the team leader felt that all the candidates from the Lotus Team would be admitted.

Unfortunately this is not realistic.

By the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the island had only received seven admission letters, including Su Yuanhang's. Three were from educated youth, and the other three were from other brigades. One was from Shanxi Brigade. When the child from Shanxi Brigade came back after passing the exam, his parents came to Ye Fan and asked him to help them fill out their applications. Ye Fan asked him whether he wanted to go to school or study his favorite major. The parents said they would decide if he could get in. Ye Fan helped him apply for a major that few people applied for. He got in with 70 or 80 points less than Su Yuanhang.

Liao Miaomiao and Niu Xiaoshan also came to Ye Fan before filling in their applications, and Ye Fan asked the same question. As for which specific school they applied to, Ye Fan did not ask. During the days of waiting for the admission letter, Liao Miao and Niu Xiaoshan were very anxious, and their parents were also uneasy. If Ye Fan said too much, they might be even more panicked.

However, Ye Fan had written to the capital to ask about it and reminded them to reply to the express letter. According to the time, the letters from Chen Xiaohui and Geng Zhiqin should have arrived.
