In the winter of 1977, the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for more than ten years, finally resumed.

Countless candidates are heading to the reopened college entrance examination examination rooms.

Yun Xiaotang and his party of four were carrying satchels and squeezed into the bustling crowd.

There were so many people coming to take the exam that it was really hard to come by and crowded.

Some people kept shouting, "Hey, don't squeeze, don't squeeze."

Su Yuchen protected Zhao Xueer, and Zhao Tianer protected Yun Xiaotang.

Finally, I successfully registered and entered the examination room.

At this time, the sky was a little low, and large dark clouds hung in the sky.

The candidates entered the examination room one after another, picked up their pens, and wrote their names on the examination paper one stroke at a time.

This time the college entrance examination may not determine their future destiny.

But it will definitely make their lives different.

Yun Xiaotang, holding the pen, frowned slightly, and answered the questions very seriously.

Their whole family has already decided to take the exam together in Beijing.

Then, settle down in Beijing.

Time passed by minute by second, and halfway through the exam, a light rain suddenly started falling in the sky.

Accompanied by the biting north wind, raindrops hit the window panes in a steady patter.

When the exam was coming to an end, the rain gradually stopped.

A ray of sunshine shines through the dispersed dark clouds.

"Wow, there's a rainbow!"

The candidates who came out of the examination room were the first to spot the rainbow in the sky and cried out in surprise.

"Where is it? Where is it?"

"Over there, look to the west."

Everyone looked over and saw that there was indeed a colorful rainbow hanging in the sky.

Yun Xiaotang walked out of the examination room, looked at the rainbow, and thought, this is a good sign.

At this time, the other three people also came out.

Four people left the commune on bicycles.

Su Yuchen was carrying Zhao Xueer, and Zhao Tianer was carrying Yun Xiaotang. The two bicycles left wheel marks in the mud after the rain.

It extends from the commune to Yushu Village.

This is just another beginning, they still have a long way to go.

...

After the exam is over, it’s time to work on the farm while waiting for the results to be announced.

More than ten days later, the college entrance examination scores finally came down.

Zhao Tianer lived up to expectations and got the best score in the exam.

Then came Su Yuchen, Zhao Xueer and Yun Xiaotang.

It will be much easier to fill in the application form next, since all applications are from schools in Beijing.

Zhao Tianer applied for the Department of Astronomy at Peking University.

This is something that everyone would never expect.

But Zhao Tian'er always remembered his sister's words of comfort to him when he missed his parents when he was a child.

He said that his parents turned into stars in the sky and were watching them.

Now, he has grown up and knows that it is just a beautiful lie.

But it really made him interested in stars and astronomy.

Yun Xiaotang vaguely knew what her brother was thinking, and she would support him no matter what he chose.

Su Yuchen and Zhao Xueer applied for the Finance Department of Tsinghua University.

Zhao Xueer wants to study finance, and her goal is to make money, make money, and make more money.

Yun Xiaotang enrolled in the College of Foreign Languages, which was the school she had planned to attend in her previous life.

Going round and round, we have crossed decades of history.

In another time and space, she still chose this university.

In the spring of 1978, trains carrying prospective college students were traveling north and south.

The lively scene was just like the days when educated youths went to the countryside.

It was just that there were joys and sorrows at that time, but this time there was an unconcealable smile on his face.

At the Mouton Town Railway Station, Dou Hongxia and her family were bidding farewell to Yun Xiaotang's family on the platform.

She looked reluctant and had tears in her eyes.

She has watched these children grow up, and they have lived together for so many years.

Now, they are going to Beijing, and I don't know when they will meet next time.

Wu Qiang saw his daughter-in-law looking sad about parting, and smiled and took her into his arms.

"Don't be sad, the children will come back during the Chinese New Year. And after they settle down in Beijing, we can also go to Beijing to visit them, take a stroll around Beijing, and see the grand palace where the former emperor lived.

"

These words made Dou Hongxia burst into laughter and gave him an angry look.

Finally, with reluctant eyes, Yun Xiaotang and his party got on the train.

The aisles on the train were crowded with people, and they struggled through with their suitcases before finally reaching the sleeper car where they were.

The four-person carriage just accommodates the four of them, so they don't have to travel with strangers.

It's chaotic when there are so many people, and there are all kinds of noisy sounds in the train aisle.

Fortunately, the carriage they were in had a small door that could be closed and a separate bathroom.

Otherwise, Su Yuchen and Zhao Tian'er would not worry about the two sisters leaving the carriage alone.

As soon as she got on the train, Yun Xiaotang climbed to the upper bunk and lay down.

She was a little sleepy and wanted to take a rest.

There is nothing else to do anyway, the train will run for two days and one night.

The remaining three people were reading books and playing chess, which was quite comfortable.

When it was time for dinner, I heard the announcement inside the train.

Zhao Xueer gently called to Xingyun Xiaotang, "Chun'er, wake up, it's time to eat."

Yun Xiaotang woke up, rubbed her eyes, and said softly, "Yeah."

The four of us went to the dining car together.

The dining car area of ​​the train is clean and somewhat stylish.

There are crocheted curtains hanging on the windows, and the tables on the left and right are neatly arranged and covered with white tablecloths.

There is also a radio playing music at the counter.

Yun Xiaotang woke up immediately.

There was no one in the dining car area, but after a while, a few young men and women arrived, and they happened to sit down at the table next to Yun Xiaotang and the others.

The young man at the head had a rebellious look on his face, with a kind of arrogance in his bones.

The man just sat down and subconsciously looked to the left.

The unruly look on his face turned into confusion.

At this moment, he knew what a glimpse was.

That girl's hair was as black as ink, with two very beautiful braids, and a beautiful headband on top.

Her skin is as white as a porcelain doll, her eyes are bright, her teeth are white, and her eyebrows are picturesque.

Even though she was lowering her head slightly and eating her meal slowly, he still felt cute inexplicably.

Yun Xiaotang was having an argument with the fish bone when she felt someone at the table next door keep looking towards her.

She followed her gaze and saw a young man at the opposite table looking at her blankly.

She frowned and looked away.
