Traveling back to 1952, starting a comeback from a relief station

"Anping!"

Yan Bugui looked at Wang Anping with a solemn expression and said:

"I think we need to take this seriously. If there really is an enemy spy hiding in the compound, our compound's reputation will be completely ruined."

"But the situation is still unclear, so we can't make a decision yet."

"The key is that even if He Daqing is indeed an enemy agent, we can't alert him, lest we make things worse."

"Here's what we'll do: the two of us will keep an eye on him, and when he makes a move, we'll take him down. Caught red-handed, we'll detain him and see how he tries to deny it!"

Yan Bugui, being a teacher, actually figured out some tricks of the trade.

Wang Anping waved his hand and said:

"No, don't ask me about this."

"I haven't been here long and I'm not familiar with the situation in the yard. You should find someone else."

Yan Bugui became a little anxious and tried to persuade Wang Anping a couple more times. Seeing that the young man really didn't want to get involved in this matter, he had no choice but to give up.

After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Since you're not getting involved, I'll go find Old Liu."

"He's a bit of a power-hungry guy, so he'll definitely take this matter to heart."

"When the time comes, have him bring Guangqi along, and call Jie Cheng together. If He Daqing makes contact with someone, we'll definitely be able to take him down."

Wang Anping gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up:

"Teacher Yan, your strategic planning is truly masterful; you're practically a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!"

After a round of flattery, Wang Anping turned and went back into the house, leaving Yan Bugui standing there, eager to try his luck.

Anyway, the message has already been delivered to them. If He Daqing still manages to escape, then it can only mean that He Daqing and that widow Bai are truly destined for each other.

Yan Bugui was pleased with Wang Anping's praise and secretly planned to find some time to discuss things with Liu Haizhong.

As for whether it was true or false, he didn't take it too seriously.

Anyway, they won't make any moves in advance; they're just using their own territory to keep an eye on He Daqing's movements.

As long as He Daqing dares to take action, he will call on Liu Haizhong to join him.

If we could catch an enemy agent, it would not only eliminate a potential threat to the institute, but we might also receive a reward and commendation from the public security authorities, which would then be a valuable asset for his academic evaluation.

Even if there's a mistake, I can just apologize to He Daqing!

A few more days passed.

That noon, after lunch, Wang Anping went to the work group office to find Wang Qin and inquire about the college entrance examination.

There have been significantly more people coming to the work group to inquire about the college entrance examination in the past two days.

Most of them came to ask about the registration rules.

For senior high school students currently enrolled, the registration will be organized by the school.

However, individual test takers in society either have to work through factories or find a neighborhood work group.

When Wang Qin heard Wang Anping ask about the college entrance examination, she looked slightly surprised, but still pointed him in the direction of the education and culture group:

"You should go talk to Sister Li from the Education and Culture Group about this."

"She's in charge of the specifics."

"but……"

"You also want to take the college entrance exam?"

It's not that Wang Qin looks down on Wang Anping.

College students are simply too precious these days.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those are things that have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Back then, even those who were literate and had a junior high school education were considered highly educated, and high school graduates were extremely rare. Vocational school graduates were highly sought-after, as they could be assigned to cadre positions right after graduation.

College Students.

It's extremely rare to see one.

Moreover, Wang Anping himself said so.

I had never attended junior high school; I had only studied with a private tutor.

Following instructions, Wang Anping went to the education group office in the backyard, found Sister Li, and explained his intention to register for the college entrance examination.

Sister Li looked at the young man who had recently become quite famous in the work group.

He said with a smile:

"Anping, we all understand your desire to improve."

"But you'd better think this through."

"Getting into university isn't easy."

"If you really want to take the exam, you have to put in a lot of effort to study, otherwise it will be a complete waste of time."

"Of course, if you've really thought it through, we'll definitely give you our full support."

"You have to take a short test before you can register."

"Although there are some policy benefits for non-students taking the college entrance examination, it is only relative."

"To register, you need to have equivalent high school education. To put it bluntly, it's a test of your knowledge base."

The so-called test was just a math test.

After all, mathematics is the most objective subject; right is right, and wrong is wrong, and there is no room for falsehood.

Although everyone knew Wang Anping was good at math, Sister Li, the staff members nearby, and Wang Qin, who had come over to watch the spectacle, weren't too optimistic about him.

This test paper is not a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division test.

Wang Anping took the pen, sat down at the table next to him with the test paper, glanced at the paper, and then began to write.

The exam didn't have many questions, but it covered a wide range of topics.

These are all basic questions, with a variety of question types, but none of them are very difficult. The first few questions are simple calculations, and the later ones are nothing more than finding the area of ​​a triangle or solving a linear equation in two variables.

Those watching him solve the problem all looked surprised.

The first two simple arithmetic problems were fine.

For the slightly more complex questions, Wang Anping would only glance at them before writing down the answers. Even for the non-pure arithmetic questions, he would still write quickly.

Although Wang Anping hadn't taken an exam in many years, he still remembered all the basic knowledge.

The exam was finished in no time.

Leave the last two questions blank.

One is a trigonometric function, and the other is a conic section.

He couldn't remember any of the formulas for these two problems, so naturally he had no idea where to begin.

Wang Anping breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself:

It seems that mathematics these days is not as simple as I thought.

I thought I could easily pass the test, but it seems I was wrong. I've forgotten a lot of the knowledge points. I really need to find the books and review them properly.

He was feeling a little embarrassed, but Sister Li, after checking the answers, was immediately stunned:

"Anping, you have a great foundation!"

"So it turns out you're not only good at math, but you've also had the best scores in the tests these past few days. The key is your speed in solving problems—you're much faster than everyone else!"

"Alright, the Ministry of Education said that you can register if you get 40% on the test. I'll register you right away."

As she spoke, Sister Li moved a stack of books over from the side.

They helped Wang Anping search through the items:

"The college entrance examination tests Chinese, mathematics, Chinese and foreign history and geography, physics, chemistry, biology, foreign language, and political knowledge, right?"

"Let me look for it for you."

"They're all new, just reprints, so it won't affect your reading experience."

"The district recently allocated a batch of middle school textbooks; I'll get you a set."

"You'd better take good care of it, don't fold the corners or scribble on it. Return it as soon as you finish the college entrance exam, because the core members of the literacy class want to catch up on their studies, and they'll need it too."

"You can study at home in your spare time."

"However, recently, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, the library has opened up a study area, so you can go there too."

"It's quiet and convenient, and going there at night can save on electricity bills at home."

Upon hearing this, Wang Anping felt a surge of joy.

I was just worried about not being able to find textbooks, but this has saved me a lot of trouble.
