Rebirth of the Urban Overlord

Chapter 9 A letter from my sister

The one who came in was Wang Bing, the class teacher, holding a stack of things in his hand, which seemed to be letters or something else.Due to limited conditions, Xingtang Middle School does not have a mailbox for each class. The letter is sent by the school to the head teacher of each class every week, and then the head teacher distributes it to the students. Of course, this may cause delays, but, It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary letter. If it's an express or registered letter with a certain time limit, the head teacher will often hand it over to the student as soon as possible.

Yang Chen didn't care. Anyway, he rarely received letters. In this era when the Internet has not yet emerged, many students actually like to make pen pals through correspondence. Yang Chen also has a pen pal. I just got a letter from her a week ago.

It is now May of 2000. In this era, rural middle schools only have two 5 or 386 computers in the computer room. In addition, Yang Chen and the others are now seniors in high school, so there is no chance to go to the computer room to learn computers.The computers in Xingtang Middle School still use the DOS system, which is undoubtedly a problem for Yang Chen who is used to Wen Dushi in later generations.Internet cafes are even more legendary, that is, the first Internet cafe has not yet appeared in Puzhou County.

I forgot to explain that Puzhou City is actually a county-level city.The citizens of Puzhou are also accustomed to calling Puzhou city the county seat.

After a while, a letter landed lightly in front of Yang Chen. Because he had to study by himself in the evening, the head teacher didn't call the students' names to pick up the letter, but sent each letter to their respective seats.

Yang Chen glanced at Mr. Wang gratefully, and then his eyes fell on the letter. He saw the handwriting and signature of the letter and knew that the letter was from his sister who was working far away in Guangdong.

Although his elder sister Yang Xi is only one year older than him, she has been working in that capitalist southern province for two years. She left her hometown after graduating from junior high school. Lucky kids can sit in a crowded classroom and dream about tomorrow like the girls in their class.

Graduating from junior high school is a watershed for rural children.

Although my sister doesn't study much and her grades have always been poor, her handwriting is very delicate, which looks like it was written by a literate person.

Yang Chen opened the envelope, and there was only a thin page inside. My sister didn't read much, so she could think of very few words. She just talked about her situation in Guangdong, and then encouraged her younger brother to study hard. The college entrance examination is over, and at this critical juncture in life, we must move forward bravely.

Yang Chen thought about his apology to this family in the next ten years, and seeing his sister's ardent expectations at this time, he couldn't help but feel great sentimentality. As he thought about it, tears flowed out, and the wet sheet was still floating. Letterhead with a little fragrance.

Chen Hao noticed the change in Yang Chen, "What's the matter, isn't this your sister's letter? What happened?" Chen Hao saw the notes and address on the envelope, and he recognized it.

"It's nothing, I just thought of many past events!" Yang Chen wiped away his tears, but noticed that there were still a few lines on the back of the letter.

"Brother, I wrote it and sent it to you, but I received a letter from a pen pal of mine. She said in the letter that she wanted to know you very much. I told her that my brother is handsome and smart. I’m going to be admitted to university soon, and I’m sure I can get into a key university. She asked me for your contact information, and I gave it to her. She’s a girl. I think you should take the initiative and write her a letter first. I wrote you the address, oh, by the way, this pen pal of my sister has the same name and surname as my sister!"

In Yang Chen's memory, he remembered that he corresponded with his sister after he was admitted to university, and her sister told him that there was such a pen pal. Why did he tell him in advance this time?

Yang Chen looked at the address left by his sister, Class [-], Senior Three, Jiefang Middle School, Lingxian County.It is exactly the same as my own memory in later generations.

Of course, when he met Yang Xi in later generations, Yang Xi was already in college, but she told Yang Chen that her high school situation was the same as her sister said.

Ling County is just next door to Puzhou City, and it takes less than two hours to drive by bus. Of course Yang Chen knows the way to Jiefang Town in Ling County, and of course he also remembers the house with a small river and a big pond in front of it. .

That's where he's been haunted.

But I am going to take the college entrance examination soon, should I be distracted and think about these things.

History is full of variables, and I don't have any blessings from heaven to have a big killer. I am still just an ordinary high school student, but I have a little more memory for future generations. If I am a little distracted, then the dream of a key university will be lost It will be declared broken.

The most urgent thing is to get the university admission letter, Yang Chen secretly warned himself, besides, now he and Yang Xi are only high school students, there is still a lot of time to change the ending of future generations.

However, tonight, Yang Chen was no longer in the mood to study. He had to write back to his sister, telling him about his studies at this stage, and telling his sister that he would definitely get in touch with her pen friend.

Yang Chen wrote two pages to his sister, roughly speaking about his situation, and the exam is about to take place. He hoped that his sister would give him more blessings and encouragement. Work with peace of mind and take care of your body.

The school can do it for you, but you have to go to the post office in the town to send the letter. However, the school stipulates that there is only half a day off in the afternoon on weekends every week.It's only Wednesday.

Fortunately, the school stipulates that the senior year must live on campus, and the first and second year students can go to school. Yang Chen can ask his juniors to help post the letter.

After writing the address on the envelope, Yang Chen sealed it with glue, thinking that his sister was wandering outside at a young age, but he could sit in the classroom without the wind and rain, and couldn't help but feel great grief for the children in the countryside.Although, this has something to do with the individual, but the social environment is always the culprit.

After Yang Chen finished all this, he calmed down his emotions, thinking about Yang Xi who might be waiting for his letter, or Yang Xi who was writing a letter to him, what would it be like to see her again.

The classroom is very quiet. Teacher Wang, the class teacher, sits on the podium to correct the chemistry test papers of other classes. There are only more than 100 people left in the third year of high school, and among these 60 people, no more than 60% work hard to get into college.And the final enrollment rate will not exceed 7%.In other words, there will only be about 3 students in the entire class admitted to various universities, and the most of them are various colleges.

Of course, this does not stop the students' enthusiasm for reading and yearning for the university.If it were two years ago, the proportion would be even lower, because last year, university enrollment expanded, and more people could go to the university to feel the influence of culture.

Yang Chen of later generations is actually full of ambivalent feelings towards the expansion of university enrollment. If the university does not expand its enrollment, he will certainly be able to enter a university, not necessarily a key university, but generally it is possible for a bachelor's degree, and at the worst, he should be able to be admitted to a junior college.However, if there is no expansion of enrollment, the gold content of the college is already very high, and it will be much smoother to find a job, and the job will be assigned, and his fate may be different.But he shouldn't be so selfish, so he is also grateful for the expansion of the university's enrollment. Only with the expansion of enrollment, can a poor rural student like him have more opportunities to be admitted to the university, jump out of the "farm gate", and become a knowledgeable, Cultured four have newcomers.Instead of just graduating from junior high school and nestling in the sweatshops in the south, adding bricks and tiles to the luxurious villas of capitalists.
