After all the students in the class had arrived, Teacher Wang had them check their admission tickets and stationery again.

After repeatedly confirming that everything was in order, it was almost time. Teacher Wang asked the students to line up and go downstairs. All the sixth graders gathered downstairs and walked to the neighboring junior high school for their exams.

The words "Shenzhen No. 5 Junior High School" immediately catch the eye; this is the school where Xia Minmin will spend the next three years.

The students, who had been holding back for so long, could no longer contain themselves when they saw the school so close by, and they all started talking to their neighbors.

The scene was getting out of control, and passersby had all come to watch. The head of discipline had to struggle to maintain order, but to no avail.

Xia Minmin looked at the dean's thinning hair and felt a little sorry for him; he was only around forty years old and had already gone bald.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, after entering the Fifth Middle School, the director of teaching affairs sent the students downstairs to the examination hall and then told everyone to prepare for the exam on their own.

Xia Minmin checked the time; there were about 30 minutes left before the exam. She and Tang Meng stood chatting in the corridor on the third floor of the exam hall.

Tang Meng was shocked by her father's behavior, which was completely different from his usual image. "I never knew my dad could be so superstitious, you know? Today he made me eat a fried dough stick and two eggs, saying it symbolizes 100 points."

Speaking of this, Xia Minmin thought of Xia Jianguo, "I guess all fathers are like this! My father is too."

Xia Minmin briefly told Tang Meng what had happened at her family that morning.

The two leaned against the railing and sighed, both able to see the hardships the other was going through. After all, he was their father, and they could only spoil him.

More and more students went upstairs to wait for the exam, and the exam time was getting closer and closer. Tang Meng also went to the fifth floor to wait for the exam to start.

Xia Minmin saw that there were people queuing in front of exam room 303, so she went to join the queue.

The proctor held Xia Minmin's admission ticket and compared it for a long time. "You're Xia Minmin?"

"Hello, teacher! I am Xia Minmin, and this is my school badge."

Xia Minmin handed her school badge to the proctor.

The proctor muttered, "They really don't look like sixth graders!"

After a careful inspection, no problems were found, and the proctor allowed Xia Minmin to enter.

During the exam, the proctor on the podium often stared at Xia Minmin, while the proctor at the back door would occasionally walk over to Xia Minmin's desk.

Fortunately, Xia Minmin had a high level of concentration and was not affected.

Xia Minmin, who had been treated differently by the proctor all morning, chose to hand in her paper early and leave the examination room.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw our homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, sitting by the flower bed reading a book.

Xia Minmin tried to avoid Teacher Wang, but before she could do anything, Teacher Wang saw her.

"Xia Minmin!"

When Xia Minmin heard Teacher Wang call her, she walked up to Teacher Wang with her head down.

"Xia Minmin, why did you hand in your paper early? There's still half an hour left!"

"Teacher, I've finished the exam and checked it repeatedly! The two proctors in our exam room kept staring at me, so I handed in my paper because I didn't want to."

"Okay, are you going to sit here for a while or wander around the Fifth Middle School to get familiar with the environment?"

Xia Minmin replied without hesitation, "Let's go for a walk!"

Teacher Wang nodded. "You must be back in twenty-five minutes!"

"knew."

After Xia Minmin finished speaking, she left Teacher Wang's sight. Sure enough, whether in her past life or now, she didn't like being alone with her teacher. No matter how kind the teacher was, she would get nervous.

Ring ring…

The bell rang to signal the end of the exam, and Xia Minmin quickly ended her stroll and headed back.

Upon returning to school, the atmosphere among the students was noticeably more cheerful than when they arrived, and the teachers did not pay much attention to discipline.

Xia Minmin has finally ushered in the first summer vacation of her life without any homework, and she must make good plans for this vacation.

Tang Meng hadn't been in a very good mood since she came out of the exam room. "Xiao Min, how did your exam go?"

"Not bad. How about you?"

"It was alright! I'm a little unsure about the last big question on the math exam, Xiaomin, is your answer 8?"

Xia Minmin thought about the answer, "You didn't make a mistake, it is indeed 8."

Tang Meng immediately burst out laughing. When the surrounding classmates heard Xia Minmin giving the answer, they all came forward to ask about their ambiguous answers.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Standing next to Xia Minmin, Tang Meng grew happier and happier. She had no problem with the math problems and was sure she would get into No. 5 Middle School!

I sat down again in the chair of Class 1, Grade 6, and listened to Teacher Wang give her final summary from the podium.

"You can check your results in my office on June 30th, or you can go directly to the bulletin board at the entrance of No. 5 Middle School to see the admission notice!"

"Alright, students! This may be the last time we meet. I wish you all the best for the future and continued academic success! That's all I have to say! Goodbye!"

Some of the girls in the class who are easily moved to tears have already started to cry.

"Thank you, teacher!"

The class didn't say thank you in unison, but Ms. Wang's eyes still welled up with tears.

After leaving school, Xia Minmin and Tang Meng went home to put down their schoolbags and agreed to meet at Xia Minmin's family's small supermarket.

Xia Jianguo stood at the entrance of the small supermarket, eagerly waiting. When he saw Xia Minmin appear at the intersection, he went back inside the supermarket to sit down.

"Xia Jianguo, is this really necessary?"

Xia Jianguo cleared his throat. "I must uphold my authority as a father! Don't hold me back like you did this morning!"

"knew."

Li Chunmei's reply was not only slow in tone, but also very impatient in attitude.

The wind chimes of the small supermarket rang, and Xia Jianguo held up a book, pretending to read.

Li Chunmei was speechless at Xia Jianguo and rolled her eyes when he couldn't see her.

"Xiaomin's back! How did your exam go today?"

As soon as Xia Minmin entered the house, Li Chunmei went up to her and took her schoolbag.

"Great, getting into No. 5 Middle School won't be a problem!"

"Okay! You and Mengmeng can have hot pot for lunch, and tonight we'll all go to a restaurant for Shandong cuisine!"

"alright!"

Xia Jianguo finally put down his book, saying, "Don't be arrogant, be humble and patient. One success doesn't mean..."

Xia Minmin already knew Xia Jianguo's words by heart; she recited them silently as he spoke.

"I can recite all that you've said, let alone Xiaomin. Jianguo, you should read more books and update your vocabulary. Xiaomin is making progress, so you need to make progress too. Didn't you say that learning never stops as long as you live?"

Xia Minmin nodded vigorously, Ms. Li Chunmei was practically her mouth double.

Xia Jianguo's sullen appearance made Xia Minmin and Li Chunmei laugh; the contrast was too great.

"Xiaomin, here's two hundred yuan. Have hot pot with Mengmeng for lunch, eat more meat to replenish your body, you've lost weight these past few months!"

Li Chunmei took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Xia Minmin.

Xia Jianguo added, "Don't forget to eat vegetables too! A balanced diet is essential!"

Tang Meng stood at the door and greeted Li Chunmei and Xia Jianguo.

Xia Minmin quickly said, "I know! I'll bring you wife cakes and pineapple buns when I come back! Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now!"

"Go ahead! Be careful!"
