The Exam-Prep God Is Reborn in 1974, and Marries Someone Right Away to Avoid Being Sent to the Countryside?
Lin Xiaoyue, a modern-day civil service exam veteran with a master's in finance, had just finished her 101st essay-prep book in the library when everything went black. When she opened her eyes again, she was a hapless young educated youth about to be “sent away” to the countryside in 1974.
Faced with the vast rural landscape from her history textbooks, she rubbed her arm, which cramped up at the mere thought of farm work, and decisively chose a shortcut. “Mom, set me up on a blind date! Right now! Immediately!”
Other people went on blind dates looking for love. She went looking for a place in a staff residential compound.
Her goal was clear: marry a local and keep her household registration! Chen Weidong, an honest, down-to-earth worker, won the match with his two trump cards: a state-owned enterprise job and a reputation for being reliable.
On their wedding night, they swore before a portrait of Chairman Mao: “We'll make progress first, fall in love later, and be study buddies along the way!”
Thanks to her blind date's brother-in-law, she got a job at the neighborhood savings office, planning to coast until retirement.
When news came that the college entrance exams were being reinstated, she tore the production schedule off the wall and replaced it with a study timetable. Then she turned to her husband, who was tightening screws:
“Comrade Chen Weidong, the organization has a task for you: take the college entrance exam with me. I'll make it up to you by earning you back the tuition in government bonds!”
And so the couple embarked on a fantastical journey of “knowledge changing your fate” together:
From a junior teller at a savings office to a big shot at the central bank, from a workshop cog to a pioneer of state-owned enterprise reform.
They proved through experience that if you master math and science, you can fearlessly travel anywhere in the 1970s; when a married couple work together, their strength can split gold, and they can even exploit a bug in the times!
I think it's okay. It mainly writes about the male and female protagonists making progress together in work, study and life. There are very few short chapters about parents. (I don't know how to write book reviews, so I recommend~) [Sending my heart][Sending my heart][Sending my heart]
Why does such a good book have so few reviews? I just read Chapter 14, it's so exciting, one link after another. I even went back and read it all over again for more than ten chapters 🤭 to carefully sort out the relationship between the characters. When I saw the most nervous part, I couldn't help but come to comment.
Generally speaking, I frowned when I saw the part about arresting people in credit unions, but it was more routine in the back. 50% Of the time I was writing about gj financial reform.
It's so well written. It's really great. The writing style is also good.
