"Brother-in-law, how's your review going? You actually scored 380 this time, an improvement of almost twenty points from the last exam. Everyone at school is using you as an example to motivate us to study hard."
It was the last week of June, a week after the college entrance examinations. Shen Rong and the others had already taken their textbooks and study materials home to review.
In 1979, the college entrance examination was still held in July. The exam took place on July 7th, 8th, and 9th every year, a schedule that lasted for 24 years until 2002.
However, because July was the hottest month of the year, it caused inconveniences for students taking the exam, teachers grading papers, and parents caring for the examinees.
Furthermore, July often brought typhoons and floods to southern provinces, especially coastal ones. The Ministry of Education, after considering various factors, decided to change the exam dates to June 7th, 8th, and 9th starting from 2003.
This exam date was determined to be the most scientific and reasonable after considering comprehensive factors, and it remained the schedule for the college entrance examination until Chen Yang's rebirth.
"Your brother-in-law studies at home every day. Don't think he's being lazy just because he's not at school."
"As for you, girl, you need to study hard in these last few days and don't fall behind in your studies."
"Look at Pan Di. Teacher Liu says that as long as Pan Di performs normally and doesn't get nervous, she'll definitely be the top scorer. I'm not asking you to compare yourself to Pan Di, but at least get into college. Your father has already boasted so much in the village; don't let him lose face and be unable to show his face to anyone."
Liu Chunmei said while helping Shen Rong and Shen Pan Di tidy up the room, her words a constant stream of nagging.
This is how mothers are; they love to chatter when they have nothing else to do, their mouths always full of endless words.
"Mom, why do you have so little faith in me? I'm telling you, you and Dad just need to prepare the wedding banquet well."
"I might not be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University like Pan Di sister, but I can still get into the University of Science and Technology."
The University of Science and Technology was established in Fei City in the early 1970s. Although Shen Rong was studying liberal arts, she could only use this as a point of pride since it was the best university in the entire Anhui province.
"I don't understand all this 'science' and 'technology.' I just want you to go to college, and then your father and I will have honor in front of our ancestors."
"Our family will also have a university student!"
Hearing her daughter speak with such confidence, Liu Chunmei also laughed happily.
"Mom, don't interrupt me. I was having an important conversation with my brother-in-law. I saw that my brother-in-law wasn't studying that hard, so how did his scores keep getting higher?"
Shen Rong looked at Chen Yang. She deeply admired her brother-in-law. Her brother-in-law was busy with his business, and after studying for only these few days, his exam scores had improved so much; he was truly amazing.
"I've already taken the exam twice. Isn't it possible for me to finally get the hang of it? The reason I didn't pass before was because I was afraid that if I got in, I'd have to leave your sister."
"Now that I'm making money and can afford to take your sister to college with me, and I can take care of Yan Yan and Hao Hao, I don't have any pressure, so I naturally performed beyond expectations."
Chen Yang chuckled, and Shen Rong's eyes widened instantly!
So that's what happened!
So I've misunderstood my brother-in-law all this time!
Looking at his sister-in-law's astonished expression, Chen Yang inwardly sighed with regret. He didn't really intend to deceive her, but he couldn't exactly tell Shen Rong that he had been reborn.
For the next few days, Chen Yang felt that his sister-in-law was looking at him strangely, but since Shen Rong didn't bring it up, he didn't ask.
However, with the college entrance examination just a few days away, Chen Yang couldn't spare much thought for this matter.
Although he had reviewed well during this period, and his scores in the two mock tests at Liuhe County No. 1 Middle School were decent, he still felt a faint sense of nervousness.
Even though he had gone through this college entrance examination in his previous life, he couldn't possibly remember the questions.
He had been reborn more than thirty years ago from now; how could he possibly remember what questions were on the exam?
Shen Xue's belly was very large, and she might give birth next month. Chen Yang still had to give Shen Xue massages every night.
With her enlarged belly, her back often ached, and her legs were slightly swollen. A doctor had taught him during a check-up that massaging her more would help promote blood circulation.
Chen Yang was quite exhausted, busy with his studies during the day and giving Shen Xue massages at night.
Fortunately, this torturous period was almost over. The college entrance examination was just a few days away, and after it, Chen Yang wouldn't have to do any more practice tests or memorize books.
These days, after the college entrance examination, there was no need to worry about filling out college applications. Chen Yang and the others had already submitted their applications long before the exam.
As long as their scores reached the admission line of their chosen universities, they would just have to wait for their acceptance letters.
Chen Yang had naturally applied to East China University of Finance and Economics. He wasn't going to college just to study, but for the few immensely promising seniors and classmates from the early years of East China University of Finance and Economics.
Even if Chen Yang could achieve the top score, he wouldn't care about going to Tsinghua or Peking University.
Although students from these two universities were more likely to become great figures in the future, Chen Yang was not familiar with them. While East China University of Finance and Economics was an average university,
he was well aware of those future classmates whose achievements were extraordinary. After all, he was eligible to attend their alumni gatherings.
It was a pity that in school, he had no special connection with those influential figures. Even with his net worth of hundreds of billions in his previous life, he was still not part of their inner circle.
For them, money was truly insignificant. After all, who among them, as CEOs of state-owned enterprises, wasn't managing behemoth companies worth trillions?
Therefore, in his previous life, Chen Yang's greatest hope was to break into that small circle. This life, he finally had the chance!
A week passed quickly, and it was suddenly the day of the college entrance examination. Chen Yang's exam venue was Liuhe County No. 1 Middle School. He had already prepared the introduction letter from the village, his household registration book, and the admission ticket issued by the county education bureau.
Not only Chen Yang, but Shen Pan Di and Shen Rong's exam venues were also at Liuhe County No. 1 Middle School. There was no other choice, as Liuhe County only had this one high school at the time.
The number of students enrolled was not large. Besides some educated youth and students who hadn't passed before, there were only the school's own students. Thus, arranging exam venues within the school was more than sufficient. Su Dan Novel Network
Holding his admission ticket, Chen Yang looked at the familiar exam venue before him, and a sense of excitement began to stir within him.
The college entrance examination!
Even after so many years, experiencing it again filled him with a sense of exhilaration.
However, Chen Yang quickly regained his composure and even reminded Shen Pan Di and Shen Rong, who were taking the exam for the first time, not to be nervous.
As the bell rang, the three of them stepped into their respective exam rooms.
Chen Yang silently recited in his heart.
College entrance examination, I'm here!
East China University of Finance and Economics, I, Chen Yang, am here!
