Chapter 3874 3876 [Freedom of Love]

"I'm embarrassed." Qiaogu was exposed by Xiang Nan's words and immediately said shyly.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. The city is now open, and there are couples on the street." Xiang Nan advised.

"But this is not the city." Qiaogu said embarrassedly, "and my father has always wanted me to marry Brother Jimao."

"The country advocates independent love and freedom of marriage. No matter how big your father is, can he be bigger than the country?" Xiang Nan said disdainfully, "Don't worry, Qiaogu, I will take care of your father. When I get into college this time, he will definitely agree to let me be with you."

"You want to go to college?" Qiaogu was surprised when she heard it.

Xiang Nan, Jimao and others joined the Candy Knocking Gang before graduating from elementary school. And she didn't continue to go to school after finishing elementary school.

First, Chenjia Village is far away from junior high school. It's not easy to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to go to school; second, education was not valued enough in those years. As long as you can read and count, it's fine. No one expects to be a scholar.

Therefore, the children in Chenjia Village basically stopped going to school after they went to primary school. They either farmed at home or followed the candy-making gang to do business.

Therefore, when Qiaogu heard Xiang Nan say that he wanted to go to college, she was also incredulous.

"Yes, you have to try." Xiang Nan smiled, "I don't want to make candy all my life."

"There's nothing wrong with making candy. My father made candy all his life." Qiaogu said.

"But he also suffered all his life." Xiang Nan looked at Qiaogu and said, "I have been making candy outside for many years, braving the wind and snow, and living in fear. I don't want to live that kind of life anymore. I want to go to college and make a lot of money so that I can support you."

"Who wants you to support me..." Qiaogu blushed and said shyly.

...

"By the way, Qiaogu, I also bought you a dress." Xiang Nan smiled and took out a red skirt.

"Oh, why is it so bright? How can I wear it out?" Qiaogu took it and looked at it, surprised.

At that time, both men and women wore very simple clothes, mostly in black, blue, gray, green, white and other colors. Colors like bright red, bright purple, bright pink and bright yellow were very rare.

"You don't understand. Now people in the city wear this way." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You are so beautiful and so young, this red skirt is suitable for you. Are you not tired of wearing those black, gray and white clothes?"

"This skirt is really beautiful..." Qiaogu listened to Xiang Nan's words and looked at the red skirt again. It was really beautiful. The tailoring, the craftsmanship, the fabric, the waist... It's really beautiful to wear it.

"But, Brother Daguang, do people in the city really wear this way? I won't be laughed at by everyone, right?" Qiaogu was still a little worried.

"No, many people in the city wear this way. Sooner or later, this trend will blow to our village." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Just wear it. By then, you will be the most beautiful girl in dozens of miles."

Qiaogu nodded happily, "Thank you, Brother Daguang."

"Just a thank you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Then what else do you want?" Qiaogu asked in confusion.

"Kiss me~" Xiang Nan patted his face and said.

"Oh, you hooligan..." Qiaogu blushed immediately and said shyly.

"You don't understand, it's like this in the city." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you don't kiss me, then I'll kiss you~" As he said that, he kissed her face hard.

"Oh, I'm going home~" Qiaogu blushed, turned around, and ran out.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but chuckle. Such a simple girl is really rare in later generations.

...

In the next few days, Xiang Nan, in addition to registering for the college entrance examination, pretended to review at home.

In fact, even if he didn't review, there would be no problem with the exam, but he didn't want to act too weird, so he pretended first. Otherwise, if he was admitted to the university easily, everyone would be shocked.

During this period, Qiaogu also wore the red dress Xiangnan gave her. Because of the novel style and bright color, she immediately became the focus of the village, and the girls in the village envied her.

"Qiaogu, your dress is so beautiful~"

"What a beautiful red dress, oh, just like the people in the painting."

"Qiaogu, you are more beautiful than those stars in the picture magazine when you wear this dress."

They praised one after another.

Since 1976, literature and art have begun to revive, and a large number of films have been released, such as "The Reef", "The Black Triangle", "The Spy of Donggang", "Hunting No. 99", etc.

Many of these movies were shot in big cities, such as "The Reef" was shot in Qingdao, "The Black Triangle" was shot in Harbin, "The Spy of Donggang" was shot in Dalian, and "Hunting No. 99" was shot in Xiamen...

These big cities are not only beautiful, but also prosperous, and the appearance of the citizens is naturally different.

Chenjia Village and several surrounding towns have had projection teams come to show these films, so the villagers are not completely ignorant of the outside world, and are full of yearning.

Qiaogu's red dress is similar to the one worn by Yu Qiulan, the heroine in "Black Triangle", which makes the sisters very envious. Qiaogu is also happy and proud to receive unanimous praise from everyone, and her admiration for Xiang Nan has increased by several points.

When she comes to his house again, she will no longer be surprised when Xiang Nan kisses her.

...

In July, Xiang Nan came to the county to take the college entrance examination.

The 1979 college entrance examination was a national unified test paper, held on three days, namely July 7, August 8, and September 9. The science subjects were Chinese, physics, mathematics, chemistry, politics, and foreign languages, and the liberal arts subjects were Chinese, history, mathematics, geography, politics, and foreign languages.

Among them, foreign language scores were only counted as 10%, after all, there were not many people in the country who knew foreign languages ​​at that time. Xiang Nan applied for the liberal arts, and he planned to study economics in the future.

"Daguang, you must work hard."

"Brother Daguang, you must pass the exam~"

"Daguang, the whole village is looking at you~"

Before leaving, the villagers came to see Xiang Nan off without any prior arrangement.

Xiang Nan waved to everyone, and then came to the county town to take the exam.

For him, taking the college entrance examination was really too easy.

But he didn't dare to exert his full strength. After all, as a person who graduated from elementary school and had never been to junior high school, it would be too scary to get a full score in the college entrance examination. It would be fine if he could get a mediocre position and get into college.

Anyway, in the 1980s, college students were scarce. Even if they were not from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, etc., they were still assigned jobs and had a bright future.

After three days of exams, Xiang Nan returned to the village and continued his candy business.

For him, it is impossible to be idle. Instead of waiting for the results at home, it is better to go out and make candy. Although it is a bit hard, there are gains every day.

That day, Xiang Nan came to Hongtang Village with a load. When he passed Guyue Bridge, he saw someone boiling candy under the bridge.

When Xiang Nan saw this person, his eyes lit up immediately.
