From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

Li Chengye was of course very confident in himself and agreed directly, "Okay."

The two of them now had a consensus on this matter, and Li Chengye was relieved. Of course, Secretary Chu also made some arrangements for the future, but even if the college entrance examination was over, Li Chengye would still have some time to stay in the steel plant, so he was not in a hurry to hand over his work.

Li Chengye was one of the people who knew the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination in advance, so he was not very surprised about this. But others were different, especially those educated youth in the countryside, who almost burst into tears when they heard the news. You know, it has been almost ten years since the first batch of educated youth were forced to go to the countryside in 1968. How many high-spirited teenagers have become silent middle-aged people. They seem to be no different from the village names in this countryside.

After ten years, they finally had the opportunity to leave here and return to their hometown. However, their happiness was only short-lived. They still faced many problems. The first was that they had been away from the learning environment for many years. The knowledge in their memory had long been drowned by the heavy rural labor. In this rural area, they had no learning environment and no books to study. It was really difficult to get into college.

Of course, there were not only these difficulties. In recent years, many educated youth felt that it was hopeless to return to the city. They only relied on their own labor and lived a very hard life in the countryside. Therefore, many educated youth, especially female educated youth, found partners in the countryside in order to have a better life. Of course, there are also some people who have true feelings. The male comrades are fine, after all, if men have a good future, their wives and children will also be there. But the situation of the female educated youth is not so good. Many people think that women should just stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. For a while, many things happened in various places.

However, Li Chengye, who works in the steel plant, rarely encounters such situations. Their factory is a big factory, and there are many people with high cultural level. However, the workers' lives are already very good, and the results of the college entrance examination are uncertain. Therefore, there are not many people who are really ready to give up everything and start over.

Moreover, Li Chengye and Hu Liren both have their own separate offices, and they have not announced that they will also take the college entrance examination. The steel plant did not know that they were going to take the college entrance examination.

However, Secretary Chu also considered this matter very important. Recently, there were fewer things assigned to Hu Liren, and Li Chengye also handed over many of his tasks to his subordinates, so Li Chengye and his colleagues also had more time to study.

"Director Li." When Xu Liu came to Li Chengye's office, Li Chengye was a little surprised. He had been in the Finance Department for almost half a year, and because both of them were unmarried, they had no private conversations except for normal work exchanges, and he didn't know how she came.

"Comrade Xu? What's the matter?" Li Chengye still asked him to sit down and poured him a glass of water. Li Chengye looked at the door, which was still half open, obviously left deliberately when Xu Liu came in.

Xu Liu smiled, but there was a bit of embarrassment on her face, as if there was something she couldn't say.

Li Chengye did not chase him, but looked at her with clear eyes, waiting to speak.

Under such a gaze, Xu Liu sighed deeply, bit her lip and said: "Comrade Li, you should have heard it too! The college entrance examination will be resumed, and I will also participate this time, but I don't have any review materials. I want to ask, can you get review materials, preferably a series of mathematics, physics and chemistry books?"
