Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 180 News

Things are getting on track at the cattle ranch.

In the laboratory, in addition to Guo Zhida leading the team to continue the work of improving the "Anhe No. 1" cattle breed, they also have to continue to observe the specific conditions of the several cows that received cell transplants.

However, they are already very familiar with the process, so there is no need for Gu Zhan to come over.

On October 21, all major newspapers reported the news of the full resumption of the college entrance examination. For a time, young people became excited.

Sun Yuan was thinking about Gu Zhan, a promising scientific researcher, and as soon as he got the news, he called Shanghe Village.

Zhao Baogen answered the phone and found out that it was Sun Yuan calling Gu Zhan, so he hurriedly rode his bicycle to Gu Zhan's house to deliver the message.

Gu Zhan was reading a book to consolidate the knowledge he had learned in the past few days when he heard Zhao Baogen calling him outside the gate.

He hurriedly pushed the door open and strode out: "Uncle Zhao, what's going on?"

"Hurry to the brigade headquarters. Director Sun from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences wants to see you."

When he heard that it was Sun Yuan looking for him, Gu Zhan immediately went back to the house, put on a cotton jacket, and followed Zhao Baogen to the brigade headquarters.

After receiving the call, Sun Yuan said excitedly: "Xiao Gu, the college entrance examination has been resumed. The era of young people is coming. Hurry up, hurry up and review well and prepare to register for the exam."

Gu Zhan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a light tone: "Thank you, President Sun. I will prepare well."

"That's fine, that's fine."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yuan suddenly remembered the pile of textbooks that Gu Zhan and he had bought at the Xinhua Bookstore. He smiled and shook his head, lamenting that he was worrying about nothing all day at his age.

Gu Zhan, who learned the news, also told Zhao Baogen: "Uncle Zhao, Professor Sun said that the college entrance examination has been resumed and we can sign up to take it."

"I just heard from your guard brother. I was thinking of coming back to tell you later, but I didn't expect Dean Sun to beat me to it."

Gu Zhan pursed his lips and smiled, saying softly, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for your consideration."

"You've come at a good time, kid. Now hurry up and study hard at home. Let's strive to have a college student in our village this time."

"As a college student, there will be some."

Gu Zhan said something in general terms. As he turned to leave, he asked Zhao Baogen, "Brother Weibing, are you planning to take the exam?"

Hearing Gu Zhan asking about his son, Zhao Baogen sighed and said with a worried look on his face, "He's hesitating right now. You know, it's been years since he graduated from high school, and a lot of his knowledge has faded. It might be difficult for him to pick it up again."

After a pause, Zhao Baogen continued, "Besides, you know, with our current income, how can our family afford to support a college student?"

Gu Zhan knew that what Zhao Baogen said was true, but this time there was still another college entrance examination, which was really a great opportunity for ordinary people in this era to change their lives. It would be a pity to give up.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Uncle Zhao, this opportunity is rare. It would be a shame to give it up easily. How about this? I have textbooks at home. If Weibing's books are gone, you can borrow mine and copy them down for review. If there's anything you don't understand, I can explain it to you. After all, our homes aren't far away. As for the money issue, we can probably figure it out if we think of a way."

After hearing what Gu Zhan said, Zhao Baogen suddenly felt that the child in front of him had grown up. Now he no longer needed the support of their elders. He could hold up the sky by himself.

Zhao Baogen's eyes were a little moist: "Okay, I will convey your words to your guard brother and discuss it with him."

"Uncle, time is running out."

"Hey, okay."

Looking at Zhao Baogen's gradually aging back, Gu Zhan felt a little heavy in his heart.

Poverty seems to be the characteristic of this era. What he can change nowadays with his own efforts is really effective, but if more students come out of here, it will be completely different.

When Zhao Baogen returned home for lunch at noon, he told his son Zhao Weibing what Gu Zhan had said not long ago.

"Did that kid Gu Zhan really say this?"

Zhao Baogen rolled his eyes at his son and said, "How could it be true?"

Guard Zhao scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I just don't believe this guy can have such an opinion."

"What he said does make sense, but now that the college entrance examination has just been resumed, everyone is scrambling to get into university. Can I get in?"

"We have to give it a try." Zhao Baogen took a big puff of his pipe and said between puffs of smoke.

"Okay, I'll go to Gu Zhan's house this afternoon."

In the afternoon, Guard Zhao arrived as promised.

Gu Zhan was teaching his daughter to walk in the yard when Zhao Weibing came in with a smile.

"Xinxin has learned to walk already?" Weibing Zhao touched Gu Xinxin's smiling face and said lovingly.

"I just learned to walk a few steps, and I'm still not very steady."

"This child is well raised by you two."

Isn’t it? This child looks better than other children of the same age. Clean, fair and tender. Who in the village wouldn’t be attracted by him?

"She's my only precious child now, so of course I have to treat her well."

Hearing Gu Zhan's words, Zhao Weibing was surprised.

It is said that boys are valued more than girls in rural areas, including himself, who also thinks that having a son is the best thing. Why does Gu Zhan listen to what he said...then can a daughter and a son be the same?

But after all, it was someone else's business, so there was no need for him, an outsider, to say too much.

Guard Zhao teased the child for a while, then brought up the main purpose of his visit today: "My father told me what you said today, and I think you make sense."

"Yeah!" Gu Zhan nodded silently.

"But can I do this? I've already given back the little knowledge I learned back then. How can it be so easy to pick it up again now?"

When Zhao Weibing was in school, his academic performance was above average. Now that he has graduated from high school for five or six years, even he finds it difficult to learn all this knowledge again.

"Take your time. How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" Gu Zhan glanced at Zhao Weibing jokingly: "Brother Weibing, when did you become so timid?"

"Hey! Don't make fun of me, kid. I know what's going on in my head."

"Have some confidence in yourself."

"By the way, the high school textbooks I used before are still here. I've been reading at home lately. If I don't understand something, I'll come over to ask you. Do you think it would bother you?"

"Of course not. Just ask."

Since hearing the news, the people at the educated youth site have become very enthusiastic. Zhao Baogen also understands that they are eager to go home. As long as they don't cause trouble, he will let them read and prepare for the exam.

After all, they are all young people, and this exam concerns their future.

However, the educated youth at the educated youth sites had a very realistic problem: they had no textbooks.

They have run all over Xinhua Bookstore and waste recycling stations in the past few days, but have not found a complete set of high school textbooks.
