The college entrance examination in 1978 started on July 20. At that time, Wang Yan and others were in Harbin. When they returned to Ningyang, Ma Yan also finished the exam.

By this time, Ma Yan had already checked the answer, but she didn't have to be right. She had already felt it during the exam and couldn't help but think about Wang Yan's awesomeness. Come out and give me another pair of answers. When you fill in your application form, your first choice is Dongda University.

Ma Yan is already a stable college student. Lao Ma never closed his mouth, he smiled every day, he no longer scolded Wang Xin, let alone glared at Wang Yan, he was very happy. The thing he loves to hear most is, 'I heard that your girl has been admitted to college.' If anyone says this, the old boy will definitely laugh like an old chrysanthemum.

As for Wang Sufang, she was even more immersed in the happiness of a promising girl. Her spirits were lifted and her body became stronger.

In the blink of an eye, August came. The postal courier rode a bicycle and carried a large backpack to the compound. He called Ma Yan's name and delivered the admission notice to Dongda University.

A week later, Ma Kui served wine in the courtyard, which was Ma Yan's college entrance banquet. This was a rare event in the courtyard. No one cares about Lao Ma's family serving wine and accepting gifts. After all, supplies are still relatively scarce now, and everyone is a family with one share of the money. If you really think about it, they are still taking advantage.

On this day, Wang Yan and others all went home and got busy early in the morning.

Needless to say, all the supplies were arranged by Wang Yan. Even the chickens, ducks and pigs were kept alive. The old and young men in the courtyard prepared the pigs to be killed together. Wang Yan held the knife and the butler cooked the pigs. The women prepared the dishes and gathered together to laugh and work.

The chef didn't ask anyone from outside, he was the master chef on the train, and his level was still acceptable. In addition, Wang Yan, Lao Wu, and Lao Cai also helped, preparing small ingredients and cooking long-lasting dishes in advance.

"Okay, dear brother, why didn't I see before that you have the skills to cook such a big pot?" Cai Xiaonian grabbed the large meat slices that Xang Hao had cut on the plate, and gave a piece to each of the children. He also enjoyed the food.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? It's not like you've never tasted the food I cook. I can cook it well in a small pot, but it's not much different in a big pot."

"Do you think I don't understand? There is a big difference between a small pot and a big pot. They are either salty or bland."

"I am a genius."

"Well, I don't object to what you say. He was born to be a cook."

"Eating on the sly?" At this time, Ma Yan came over with a basin of washed vegetables.

"What? It's the first time for my brother to cook a big dish. I'll help him taste the saltiness and check the taste." Cai Xiaonian said without changing his expression, speaking with dignity.

"Taste it well. If it doesn't taste good and spoils the food, I'll kill you." Ma Yan rolled her eyes at him, put down the food, turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Cai Xiaonian came close to Wang Yan and whispered: "Brother, this Ma Yan has gone to college. She will be a college student soon..."

Wang Yan smiled and pretended not to know: "What do you mean?"

"She has a bright future. There are people from all over the world in the university, and each one is more capable than the other. By then she will have seen a lot, and we, the railway police, may not be able to catch her eye. You have to be careful. . My dear brother, what I said is a bit harsh, but my brother is doing this for your own good. You must take it seriously and don’t think about anything else. There will be no place for you to cry. "

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I know everything you said, Ma Yan is not that kind of person. Besides, who said that those who go to college can be capable? You can't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. It's okay if she doesn't go to college. Only when you go to college will you know how capable and talented we are, otherwise she won’t know how to cherish us.”

"Yes, yes, dear brother, you are the best. The key is that those college students cannot stand up to pancreatic acidosis. Each of them can speak more fluently than the last one. Are you not aware of the fact that educated youths deceive rural girls? In the current situation, Ma Yan'er is that rural girl Girl, you might be fooled, so be careful."

"You know it, so don't worry about me, Meatball."

Cai Xiaonian didn't say anything more. He just put the meatballs in his mouth and ate them without caring that they were hot. A group of children on the side also ran over and watched eagerly.

Of course, Wang Yan was not stingy. After letting it dry for a while, he gave one to each person. In the blink of an eye, there were a bunch of hot, squealing furry babies.

Seeing the children eating sweetly with a smile, Wang Yan took out a cigarette and gave one to Cai Xiaonian, and they both lit it up.

"Brother, you really have to..."

"You kid, what about Moji? I've told you the truth. I know you're good for me. I'll treat you to meat next month and stop chanting sutras, okay?"

"Hehe, that's great. I'll remember it. You are really my brother."

Cai Xiaonian nodded repeatedly, then looked into the distance with a look of disgust on his face, "Look at that old silly cow, oh, it's written all over his face that little Yao'er doesn't want to see you, he's still acting like a pug."

In the distance, it was Wang Xin who was helping to move tables, chairs and benches. Yao Yuling was sitting on the other side, eating melon seeds, her eyes always on Wang Xin. Next to her was Niu Dali, who was nicknamed the pug by Cai Xiaonian.

Niu Dali was approaching to have a hard chat. Yao Yuling's face showed visible impatience. Niu Dali pretended not to see her, and his sadness had spread to Wang Yan.

"I can't say. Once the two of them get better, it will probably be fine."

"That's even worse."

"He's so hurt. How can he be okay? The main thing is that there is still hope now."

Wang Yan waved his hand, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, go and help with some work. Don't eat here. You will be full in a while."

"Look, we are a family after all. We can't bear to eat something."

"piss off."

"Okay." Cai Xiaonian ate another piece of meat, and also ate two slices of chopped garlic very carefully. Then he left, talking to people everywhere, but not a single serious word...

There were a lot of people here today, not to mention those in the compound, Ma Kui really had a lot of friends, most of them were police officers, some were from other government departments, and there were also people from this bureau such as Lao Hu. Including Ma Kui and Wang Sufang's relatives, it was really lively, with tables filling the courtyard.

To Wang Yan's surprise, Ma Kui also called the old blind man over. The old boy wasn't annoying either. Wang Xin came over and got a plate of meat and fried peanuts, and the old boy drank it himself...

It was so lively in the evening, after we had had enough wine and food, the excitement dissipated. With the help of everyone in the courtyard, we cleaned up the mess and cleaned the bowls and chopsticks tables provided by each family. The banquet for further education was over.

In the evening, Lao Ma's house.

Ma Kui was sitting on a chair drinking tea with a glowing face. Wang Yan was sitting at the dining table, helping Wang Sufang and Ma Yan count the money together.

"I collected a lot." Wang Yan said with a smile.

"It's all done in the past. During the days when Lao Ma was there, we didn't miss any gifts from anyone." Wang Sufang said, "How much did it cost to buy vegetables and meat? I paid for it for you, and I can't let you advance money."

"We don't have much money, Auntie, don't be so outspoken, we are all a family, why are you talking about that?"

Ma Yan nodded: "If he wants to pay, just pay, don't worry about him."

She didn't know where Wang Yan got his money, but she knew that Wang Yan had money, because she had a vague feeling that the money Wang Yan spent did not tally with his income as a police officer. Of course, this is not the reason why she spent Wang Yan's money, but because she recognized what Wang Yan said, "We are all a family." She also understood Wang Yan, and if she said no, she really didn't want it.

This is all sponsored by friends from Harbin and Ningyang. The stopping time at other places is short, but the stopping time at these two terminals is long. Wang Yan went to chat with various people on a regular basis. He doesn't have any burden, not because it's illegal, but because nowadays, there are basically no good people who are getting rich.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry about me."

"That won't work. Although we don't object to the matter between you and Ma Yan, there is no reason why you should pay for it."

Ma Kui said on the side, "Give him three hundred. If you give it to you, just keep it. Don't worry about it."

Wang Yan shook his head in a funny way, but did not refuse again: "Just take one hundred."

"Then two hundred!" Wang Sufang counted twenty ten-dollar bills and placed them in front of Wang Yan. Seeing the latter put them into his pocket, she nodded with satisfaction, "That's right."

"Oh, that's great..." Ma Kui said with satisfaction.

Wang Yan said nervously: "It's been a month, and you still haven't recovered? Why, you've also been admitted to college?"

"Ma Yan is my girl. If she passes the exam, I will pass the exam, right?"

"That's okay, everything you say is right. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, go back and wash up and go to bed. Auntie, please pay attention, stay in the mood, don't get tired, it's been a busy day Come on, let’s all go to bed early.”

"I'm in a good mood. I'm just happy today. I haven't done any work and I'm not tired at all. Come on, let's go."

Wang Yan left with a smile, and Ma Yan got up to see him off.

When she came outside, Ma Yan said, "Thank you. You are responsible for everything here."

"What, are you going to separate from me now? Let me tell you, someone told me today that I should try my best to please you, so that you don't think I'm not good enough for you after you go to college. Come on, give me a kick."

"Is that what Cai Xiaonian said?"

"Hey, you know all this?"

Ma Yan rolled her eyes: "I thought it was him. But he is really very particular. If it were someone else, he wouldn't tell you this. Would he really treat you as his brother?"

"He is more down-to-earth and says whatever he wants."

"Get him down quickly, he can fool you, don't worry, I don't bear any grudge against him." Ma Yan said with a smile, "But what he said is right. It depends on your performance. If you don't perform well, I can really do it." This is what happened.”

"It's up to you, can't you tell the difference between a big king and a big king? I'll take care of you directly." Wang Yan slapped Ma Yan on the butt.

"Oops..." Ma Yan quickly looked around, then slapped Wang Yan in shame, "Go away."

Turn around and leave without looking back...

Wang Yan smiled, wandered back to his home, washed himself, read for a while, and went to bed at around twelve o'clock at night...

The days were very ordinary. When Ma Yan went to college, Wang Yan borrowed a jeep, pulled bedding and other things, and took Lao Ma and Wang Sufang to Dongda University.

Wang Yan made full use of his working time, and printed some of the magical skills of catching thieves that he had written for a long time. Finally, he named it "Catching Thieves", and after printing, it was distributed internally at their Ningyang station.

The response from the comrades was very good, and even some of the more conceited old comrades didn't say anything, because the prerequisite for criticizing Wang Yan is that you have to catch more thieves than him, and the lines you are responsible for are safer than him.

Now on the trains on the Ningyang and Harbin lines, you can't see a professional thief for ten days and a half, but you can catch one by one, that's how awesome it is.

As time went by, some comrades who had read the book began to practice. It was not obvious on one train, but with more trains, it was obvious that the number of thieves caught on the train was increasing. The leaders were very surprised and organized collective learning activities on "catching thieves" to further improve the success rate of catching thieves, which became a political task.

It was too awesome. If you don't have any relationship with everyone, you won't be hated. Wang Yan is in this situation now. He has a smile wherever he goes.

Such a peaceful day, as the trains repeated one after another, time came to the late autumn season.

This afternoon, people were chatting in the yard in the sun. The women gathered in a group to knit sweaters, make soles, and make insoles. The men gathered in two groups, one playing chess and the other playing poker. It was lively and warm.

Wang Yan was guarding the faucet in the middle of the yard, washing clothes with a click.

At this time, at the gate of the compound, Wang Xin walked in hand in hand with Yao Yuling.

"Hey, hey, how come they are holding hands?" Old Wu's wife said in an exaggerated voice.

Her voice attracted the attention of everyone in the yard. Of course, it also included Niu Dali, who was watching people play chess and giving them advice...

Wang Xin smiled and said, "It's good that everyone is here. I want to tell you that Yuling and I are together. I don't know when the wedding will be held."

"Oh, then we are waiting."

"That's great. Oh, it seems that this is the first couple in our yard to get married, right?"

"The son-in-law is not here. He and Ma Yan have been dating for a long time." Cai Xiaonian came over and put his arm around Wang Yan's shoulders affectionately.

Wang Yan looked at Ma Kui, who was accustomed to frowning, and then looked at Wang Sufang, who was smiling gently and kindly, and laughed at everyone: "Yes, but I drank the wedding wine late."

"That's right, Ma Yan is in college, and she can't delay her studies. This is a big deal." Old Cai nodded repeatedly in agreement, staring at his own son, blaming him for talking nonsense.

Cai Xiaonian didn't care at all, and said to Wang Xin: "He is so slow, you two should hurry up, you are all waiting to drink."

"I'm still waiting for you, Uncle Cai, Aunt Cai, hurry up and study it, Xiaonian is two years older than me, it's time."

Old Cai's wife smiled and nodded: "We are in love, we are in love, it's a matter of time."

After a few jokes, Wang Xin said: "Then we will go into the house first, you can have fun." After a polite remark, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Xin went to his house hand in hand with Yao Yuling, and from beginning to end, the two of them never let go of each other's hands.

Everyone in the compound glanced at a certain place in the field without leaving a trace, and then continued the previous excitement and warmth.

"Brother, I think we can't wait to drink the wedding wine of Wang Xin and Xiao Yaoer, so we have to drink some today." Cai Xiaonian looked at Niu Dali and shook his head.

At this time, Niu Dali was standing blankly, looking at Wang Xin's house motionlessly. Finally this day has come, and finally his sadness has come...

Wang Yan also shook his head: "I have ten yuan in my pocket, you go buy some meat, some vegetables, and two bottles of wine, and we will drink later, he may not last until the evening."

"Ah... This is really a promise of life and death, but it is this old silly cow who died."

Cai Xiaonian was not even happy when he heard Wang Yan spend money to buy meat, which is rare.

"Go quickly."

"Then I'll tell Lao Niu." Cai Xiaonian took out the money from Wang Yan's pocket, then walked to Niu Dali, said a few words, went home, rode his bike, and left in a cloud of dust.

Niu Dali watched for more than ten minutes, until his feet were numb, and he limped back to his room.

When Cai Xiaonian came back, Wang Yan and the other two started drinking. Niu Dali kept drinking and crying, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

The autumn wind was bleak, rolling up the yellow leaves in the yard, which were all Niu Dali's overflowing sadness...

I would like to thank the good brothers who voted for the monthly ticket, recommended votes, and read books silently for their strong support!
