In October, the news of the college entrance exams was announced, broadcasted far and wide. The exams would be held at the end of November and December, with the dates generally set for mid to late December. In Huaibei City, the exams were scheduled for December 22, with the provincial education department setting the questions, and then a dedicated person would deliver them.
The two months' time was really too short. Everyone was nervously reviewing, wishing they could turn one day into two.
Under the influence of adults, even the usually mischievous children knew the importance of the college entrance exams. The shouting was much quieter than usual in the brigade. If there was a candidate in the family, they were even more careful with everything they did.
