Chapter 435: Exchange of Life
On the day after the exam, several people packed up and went back to the village. The old man Li who drove the ox cart in the village was also very humane.
Knowing that many educated youth would go back after taking the college entrance examination today, he specially came to the town to take them back.
Even Yun Qinghuan, who was very comfortable in the examination room, felt very tired after two days of exams, let alone others?
Yun Qinghuan was paralyzed at home for two days before slowly recovering.
After her spirit recovered, she began to write a manuscript, the name of which was called Exchange Life.
After the college entrance examination was resumed, a rural girl relied on her own efforts to almost always get the first place in the class.
It was just that her family was too poor. Even if her parents tried their best to support her to go to high school, it was limited to this. Even after high school, because she had no connections, she could only go home to farm, and then follow the life trajectory of ordinary rural girls, find a rural man to marry, have a few more children, and live a mediocre life like tens of millions of rural women.
But the protagonist Li Juan was unwilling to accept this. Even though she was still young, she had a vague idea in her heart that she wanted to change her fate.
Zhao Xiuzhu, a female classmate in the same class with Li Juan, was the daughter of the director of a food factory in the town. She was the only girl in her family and was spoiled. Even though she did not get into high school, her parents spent some money to send her to the best high school in the town because her family was rich.
She happened to be in the same class with the heroine Li Juan.
One of them relied on her own efforts to study hard and got into the school, and the other was sent in by her family with money through connections.
Li Juan usually ate the cheapest steamed bread in the cafeteria, with pickles and soup. She didn't dare to eat too much for fear of starving after running out of food coupons.
Her clothes were also tattered, with patches on her body one after another. She always walked with a hunched back. Except for her grades, Li Juan was inconspicuous in the crowd.
Zhao Xiuzhu always ordered several dishes when eating in the cafeteria, and then complained that the dishes were too bad and not as good as her mother's.
Even in this era when people generally wear black, white, gray and blue clothes, Zhao Xiuzhu always dresses exquisitely and beautifully, and the clothes she wears are always the most expensive ones sold in shopping malls.
Without the path of going to college through the college entrance examination, Li Juan is anxious about her future after graduating from high school. Is she really going to go home to farm, find a man to marry, get married and have children as others say?
But Li Juan is unwilling. Even if she was born in a lowly family, she still wants to fight against fate once.
But Zhao Xiuzhu is anxious about where she will work after graduation. Should she go to her father's factory to get an idle job to kill time, or go to her mother's department to find an idle job.
Even if the two are in the same class, their fates are worlds apart.
And at this time, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination nationwide came, and Li Juan was stunned, and then came the surprise.
She finally waited for the opportunity to change her fate!
But Li Juan, who studied so hard, looked forward to it, but when the college entrance examination results came out, she only scored more than 100 points, and could not even go to the most ordinary junior college.
She was desperate. The villagers who were watching the show ridiculed her behind her back, saying why did a girl go to so many schools? She thought she was studying hard, but she didn't even get into college.
Her parents were also criticized for this.
Li Juan didn't understand. When she handed in the paper, she felt that she had written very well and knew many questions, but why did she do so poorly in the college entrance examination?
She was not convinced and wanted to take the exam again, but her family was too poor. Seeing her aging parents, who couldn't even eat enough and had nothing at home, how could they afford to support her to repeat the year?
In desperation, Li Juan gave up. Later, she married and had children like countless ordinary women...
It was just because she had studied and knew clearly that many things around her were unreasonable, and she felt a sense of separation from the real world.
Painful but unable to change the status quo.
Many years later, she tried her best to eliminate criticism and trained her daughter to become a college student. On the day she sent her daughter to college, she met an acquaintance at the university.
Zhao Xiuzhu
Zhao Xiuzhu is already the top leader of the whole school. She stood on the stage and spoke eloquently. Her confident look made Li Juan burst into tears.
She once imagined that she could live so freely.
But now, she is so old that she dare not look at herself in the mirror. When she walked past Zhao Xiuzhu, Zhao Xiuzhu did not even recognize her at all.
But Li Juan recognized Zhao Xiuzhu, who was still young and beautiful, at a glance.
At that time, she only felt envy and sadness in her heart, and did not think too much.
After sending her daughter to college, when she came back, Li Juan went to her old high school again. Since she failed the college entrance examination, she hardly even went to the town, let alone the old high school?
It seemed that if she did not recall the scene, she could forget that she had worked hard for her youth.
But this time when she saw Zhao Xiuzhu, she didn't know why she wanted to go back and take a look.
When she arrived at the high school, she hadn't been walking for long when someone suddenly called her in surprise and hesitation, "Li... Juan?"
Li Juan turned around and saw a woman wearing glasses who looked familiar.
She thought for a long time before she remembered that this woman was the girl who was second only to her at the beginning, named Wang Lan.
Wang Lan was very surprised to see her, with a complicated look in her eyes, "Li Juan, it's really you, I didn't dare to recognize you."
Li Juan's smile was very far-fetched. She hated herself for turning back and responding. Otherwise, she could pretend that the other party had recognized the wrong person and turned around and left.
She wouldn't be so embarrassed now.
Wang Lan, like her, came from the countryside. At that time, her family was also very poor and couldn't even afford to eat. Although she studied hard, her grades were always several tens of points lower than Li Juan's.
It was just that in that era when many people didn't study hard, Wang Lan's academic performance was very outstanding.
It's just that Li Juan was more outstanding.
Through chatting, Li Juan knew that Wang Lan was lucky enough to be admitted to a university in the college entrance examination. Although the score was not particularly high, it was enough to apply for the normal university in the province.
After graduation, she was assigned to the high school in this town as a teacher, and now she has become the vice principal.
In that era, academic qualifications could change one's birth.
Wang Lan was surprised to know that Li Juan didn't go to college at that time, "Why didn't you go to college? I heard that you scored more than 60 points higher than me at that time!"
"Buzz".
Li Juan felt like something had exploded.
When she asked further, she learned from Wang Lan that when she went to get her admission letter, she heard a teacher mention her grades, saying that she did very well.
Li Juan almost stumbled back home.
