The reporter from the provincial newspaper said that they all got admitted to Beijing University, and three of them were top scorers. The admission letters should arrive in a couple of days.
This reassured Yi Qingqing and the others, and the seven of them cheered.
Seeing their expressions, the provincial newspaper reporter asked, “I heard that all seven of you are good friends? Did you study together?”
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so everyone talked about the general process of the review, including the fact that they had established a study group for the Beijing University entrance examination.
After the interview, the reporter took a group photo of the seven of them at the entrance of the educated youth point before concluding the visit.
This time, even the captain was concerned about Yi Qingqing and the others’ college admission letters.
In this era, letters were delivered to every commune and brigade by postmen, who were provided with bicycles by the state. However, the speed was much slower. There was often only one postman in a large area, and letters might have to accumulate for a while before being delivered, and parcels were not delivered.
All the packages sent by Yi Qingqing and her family were only sent to the county town.
But the college admission letters were sent by default to the student’s grain ration office.
Therefore, the admission letters should ultimately be delivered to the brigade by the postman, and then the captain would send someone to collect them.
The seven admission letters were together, and the captain picked them up and excitedly delivered them to them, ensuring none were missing.
“You’ve all brought honor to our brigade. You’re all doing a great job! Now that you’re all going to the same university, and you’re all from the same brigade, so keep looking out for each other. When you have time after you start working, you can come back and visit. This is your second hometown!”
The captain said with emotion.
After the New Year, they would go to college, not just the seven of them who did well in the exams, but everyone else as well.
The shortest had stayed in their brigade for more than three years, and the longest had stayed for seven or eight years. In just a few months, the educated youth point would be empty.
Although these educated youths had caused a lot of trouble when they came to the countryside, it was hard to see them leaving in such large numbers after such a long time together.
But it’s all for the future, and the captain is also happy.
Having stayed here for several years, they have indeed left with very good memories. If there is a chance in the future, Yi Qingqing still wants to come back to visit her fellow villagers.
When they received their admission letters, it was already the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was just two days away. Some of the other educated youths had received theirs even earlier.
This was Yi Qingqing and her friends’ last New Year’s Eve at the educated youth point, and with the added joy of about to go to university, they celebrated this year in an exceptionally grand manner.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Li Mengxue said mysteriously, “I found a good thing at the scrap station. Can you guess what it is?”
“What?”
“Hehe…” Li Mengxue pulled a small, square object from her trunk.
“It’s a deck of cards I found at the scrap station, still in pretty good condition. No need to worry about being bored tonight!”
She originally thought that there were no playing cards in this era, but she didn’t expect that people could make them. This deck was not taken from the space, but was actually a Butterfly Poker deck she found at the scrap station.
God knows how much she wants to play cards every year when she stays up all night on New Year’s Eve. She has even mastered the idiom chain game!
But now there are eight people and only one deck of cards, so naturally, the four girls play cards, while the boys assist in the back, in groups of two.
