Stand by Me 那些回不去的年少时光 Episode 9

In 1989, Xu Xiaobo's father left due to a work injury. The people at the factory made him wait and wait and refused to compensate him on the pretext that the procedures were not good. Only the factory director gave him a little money to send him off. Xu Xiaobo went to visit his mother. His mother was mentally disturbed. His mother told him that his father would be off work in a while. They went to pick him up together. His mother did not know that his father had passed away. Two women just walked out and were talking about their family affairs. Jiajie couldn't stand listening anymore. Although he said he was unwilling to help Xu Xiaobo, he still helped Xu Xiaobo and scolded the two women. Xu Xiaobo asked the person at the reimbursement office to calculate the money. The amount of money reimbursed by his mother was not right.

Factory Director Xie told him that his mother's medical expenses could no longer be reimbursed by the factory. Another way was to let him take his place in the factory and work directly in the factory. Xu Xiaobo rejected his kindness. He still wanted to go to college. When he was admitted to college, he would take his mother to the city to see a doctor. Fast forward to now, the students are all discussing who got the last chemistry question right. They all thought that Xu Xiaobo would get it right, but in fact he didn't get it right. Instead, Cui Yang, who has more than 20 people in the class, got it right. Xu Xiaobo, who always ranked first in chemistry, was hit hard. He came to the rooftop to relax alone.

Luo Qiqi was running on the playground, and she met Chen Jin who was also running. She called out to Chen Jin. She felt that her English score was not good and wanted to ask Chen Jin how he could improve his English score. Chen Jin asked her to compare other people's test papers. Luo Qiqi felt that her vocabulary was not good enough. Chen Jin asked her to find a learning method that suited her. Now that her vocabulary was not good enough, she took the text and started to memorize it. After memorizing the text, she would be able to face the high school exam. no problem. Luo Qiqi felt that no one had such a good memory and could memorize all the texts. Chen Jin asked her if she still remembered the ten lines in one eye when she was a child. Luo Qiqi seemed to be inspired, and her eyes became determined.

Chen Jin feels that people in this school make up their minds every day, but it is easy to make up their minds, but difficult to persist. He hopes that Luo Qiqi will be able to persist a year later. Luo Qiqi recited English every day, and the exam soon came. On the first day of the college entrance examination in July 1995, Xu Xiaobo sat in the examination room. Jiajie was pacing back and forth at home. He told Luo Qiqi that he had never been so nervous before taking an exam. Luo Qiqi said nothing. Jiajie asked her to say a few words, otherwise he would become more anxious. Luo Qiqi still did not speak. Jiajie asked her if she had just finished the final exam and how it went. Luo Qiqi told him that the teachers had all gone to invigilate the exam and they didn’t know yet, but her mother would send her to the factory if she failed the exam.

Luo Qiqi came back from buying popsicles. Jiajie told her that she had just slept for a while, and when she woke up, Xu Xiaobo's mother could not be found. Luo Qiqi hurried out to look for her, and happened to meet Xu Xiaobo who had returned from the exam. Xu Xiaobo went home and took a photo of his mother, and quickly went out to look for it on the streets. When night fell and he couldn't find it, Xu Xiaobo asked Jiajie if his mother had taken the medicine. Jiajie swore that she had, but when he touched his pocket and the medicine was still there, Xu Xiaobo punched him angrily. Xu Xiaobo went to find his mother overnight, and early the next morning he came to the examination room to prepare for the college entrance examination the next day.

Because he was thinking about his mother, he couldn't write anything. It was the same on the third day. He gave up and handed in the paper in fifteen minutes. After walking out of the examination room, Luo Qiqi told him that his mother had been found. Xu Xiaobo cooked for her mother and cried while cooking. He told Luo Qiqi that he was done. He thought of his father. He always wanted to leave, but what to do if he left his mother? He felt that he was very selfish. Luo Qiqi saw Lin Lan being bullied by three girls. She came over to help Lin Lan, and the two smiled at each other and went to the Binhai Park to play together. Lin Lan said a lot to Luo Qiqi. She thought Luo Qiqi was very smart and could go further only after going to college. She was determined to go to college, and she encouraged Xu Xiaobo not to give up. She was about to move forward, and Xu Xiaobo couldn't stop.
