Chapter 1968 Taking the College Entrance Examination 6
It was a cold winter with heavy snow.
With the blessing of her family, Xi Bao, wearing a mink coat, sheepskin pants, military coat, sheepskin boots, and stationery, entered the examination room with classmates, educated youth, and children of workers and peasants who had already joined the workforce, with excitement.
There were really too many candidates, students who had been locked out of the college entrance examination for ten years!
Few people were dressed as tightly as Xi Bao. The patched old cotton-padded clothes were not warm. Most of them were shivering with cold. Some of them did not even have a decent cotton-padded clothes and could only wear a few more layers of tattered single clothes.
No matter how cold it was, it could not stop their enthusiasm to enter the examination room.
Their faces, cracked and red by the wind and snow, were full of longing for the future.
Xi Bao saw that the candidate next to her was wearing two layers of single coats full of pudding, and reed-woven clogs with fur shoes on their feet. His lips were purple from the cold, and his hands were curled up and could not be stretched out.
In this examination room, he was wearing the thinnest and most worn clothes.
Feeling compassionate, Xibao took off her military coat and handed it to him, saying gently: "My cotton-padded jacket is warm, and I am sweating from the heat. I will lend it to you. Please return it to me after the exam."
He was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, very thin, so thin that he looked unrecognizable, and his eyes looked even bigger and rounder.
He looked at Xibao, his lips trembling, without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Xibao forced the coat on him.
A young man sitting behind Xibao shouted: "Hey, the one in front, why are you so kind? His parents are bad elements, they stink, be careful not to stink up your nice military coat! In my opinion, you shouldn't let him enter the examination room."
The boy immediately withdrew his hand that was about to pull the collar of the military coat, his face flushed, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Xibao buttoned him up and said loudly: "My mother said that at the symposium on restoring the college entrance examination system, most of the leaders present agreed that the quality of one's class background should not be used to determine whether one can take the college entrance examination. This means that all educated youth within the prescribed age can take the college entrance examination! Classmate sitting behind me, you have an opinion on this comrade taking the college entrance examination. Are you dissatisfied with the leaders of the country?"
Hearing his loud tone, the young man was stunned and stammered: "Who knows whether what you said is true or not, don't put a hat on me casually!"
Xibao smiled faintly, "I dare to say it, which means that this matter is true! The country allows this classmate to enter the examination room, which also means that I am not wrong."
Others heard it in their ears. Some people were afraid to say anything, but some were Xibao's classmates, or educated youth and students who participated in the review of Wanglou Brigade, and they immediately spoke out to support Xibao.
"Our Xibao won't lie!"
"That's right, classmate Lu Tianmao is a good comrade. The review materials you bought may have been compiled by him to help us."
"The one who questioned Xibao, you know nothing, how dare you say that! Our Xibao's parents were at that education symposium, no one knows better than him, why would he lie to you?"
Hearing this, the young man sitting behind Xibao's face turned pale.
He understood what those people meant. The handsome boy sitting in front of him turned out to be the son of a high-ranking official? Those who can attend the education symposium must not be ordinary leaders.
Xibao raised his hand to stop the person who spoke for him and continued, "The invigilator is here, let's stop talking, do the questions well, don't be nervous, just be like usual."
