Chapter 513: SICK Leave

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Bing’s current focus was on doing questions and redoing the wrong questions. After all, the best way to prepare for the exam was to do many questions, so it was a waste to keep these books.

Yu Bing didn’t retort Yu Yan. Instead, she used her actions to respond to Yu Yan’s malicious guesses about her. Those who suspected that Yu Bing had ulterior motives were a little ashamed when they heard Yu Bing’s words.

Yu Yan didn’t expect Yu Bing to be so generous and stupid. People could easily get textbooks as long as they had some connections, but notes and exercise books were different. The notes had to be written by top students for them to be effective.

Yu Bing’s actions made Yu Yan unable to continue retorting, so she could only think of another way. She didn’t care about other people as long as she had enough time to prepare.

Yu Bing gave many more tips regarding studying. Many people benefited greatly after using her method.

While everyone was working hard to balance work and studies, Yu Yan deliberately let herself catch a cold. In the end, she successfully applied for sick leave with moderate pneumonia.

After Yu Bing found out, she could only shake her head regretfully. Firstly, she didn’t approve of this method, and secondly, there was no need. If she couldn’t get in this year, she could still try again next year. However, once she fell sick, it would be difficult for her to recuperate. However, Yu Bing wasn’t so kind as to remind Yu Yan. Since Yu Yan wanted to do things the hard way, it was her choice. She had already said what she needed to say in the meeting that day. She didn’t expect Yu Yan to still stake everything on this.

Wu Jin also understood the young people’s desire to return to the city. During the preparation period, they tried their best to arrange easy work for everyone, so they naturally didn’t earn that many work points. However, everyone was focused on the college entrance examination, so who could care about this?

There were also some good scholars in the village who applied with the young people. Wu Jin also gave them preferential treatment at work.

After two months of preparation for the exam, it was soon time for the exam.

The college entrance examination was divided into liberal arts, science, and politics. Language arts, mathematics, and politics were compulsory subjects. Liberal arts also tested history and geography. Science tested physics and chemistry. The choice of subject would affect their major, but everyone still chose the subjects they were good at.

Yu Bing and Jiang Chun chose liberal arts while Xiao Sheng chose science.

The examination time for the college entrance examination was concentrated in two days. The youths of the various villages had to go to the county city to take the examination. All the middle and primary schools in the county were requisitioned as the venue for the college entrance examination.

Two days passed in a flash. On the day they finished all the subjects, everyone gathered in the dormitory lobby to compare the answers. This time was the most important scoring segment.

Everyone could apply for three schools at most. Generally, they would rank the schools they were more confident in getting into and wanted to go to first. The schools that they weren’t confident in getting into were ranked second. The third school was the school that they were most confident in and had a relatively low cutoff score.

In the future era, the grades would be released first, then the examinees would apply to various schools according to the cutoff score. However, nowadays, they had to estimate their own scores before the grades were out and start applying to school. Without a doubt, this increased the difficulty.

The first year’s test paper was relatively simple and many answers could be found in the textbooks. As long as one could remember the answers, most of them could get these questions correct.

Yu Bing, Xiao Sheng, and Jiang Chun filled in their ideal school after estimating their scores. Yu Bing followed her previous plan and filled in the economics department of the capital university. Xiao Sheng filled in the energy chemistry engineering major at the capital university.

Jiang Chun filled in S City’s Teacher’s College. S City was where Cui Jin was located in the military district. It wasn’t far from Hang City.

A month later, acceptance letters from various schools were sent to the village one after another.

Jiang Chun was among the first batch of examinees to receive the acceptance letter, while Yu Bing only received it half a month later. The two of them were accepted into their first choice.

Yu Yan had gotten herself sick on purpose to exchange for sick leave, but she didn’t manage to get into any school. Yu Yan had gastric problems to begin with. Although she had recuperated at home for a period of time during the new year, this sort of chronic illness wasn’t easy to cure. Now that she had moderate pneumonia, the discomfort severely affected her learning efficiency. Coupled with the fact that time was tight and she had not touched her textbooks for more than a year, it took her a period of time just to adapt.

Unexpectedly, Yao Nian was accepted into Hang City’s Water and Electricity

Academy. Because his score wasn’t high enough, he didn’t get accepted into the Mapping Engineering major. However, he was assigned to the agricultural hydraulic engineering major, which didn’t have enough people..
