Chapter 116 College Entrance Examination

There were also six children in the village who were preparing for the college entrance examination. They all studied with Jinran and the others, doing practice tests during the day and having them explain the knowledge they didn't understand in the evenings. This way, they could consolidate their knowledge.

When they got home, they praised Jinran and the others profusely, saying that the problems they were taught were easy to understand, and that the explanations had helped them review a lot of knowledge, making it even easier to solve problems.

As a result, the families were even more grateful, and the villagers also began to pay attention. If these children passed the exam, their village would be proud and they would have something to be proud of.

During this period, there were almost no fights or disturbances in the village. Even when people passed by Old Shen's house, they walked quietly, afraid of disturbing Jinran and the others' studies.

The families who followed along gave the children eggs, vegetables, and even a small bowl of whole grains, all in the hope of supplementing their nutrition.

The village chief also said, "I really didn't expect the people in our village to be so enlightened."

Wang Dali was even angrier, but she had to admit that this plan to review Xi Jinping's ideas was really good.

Shen Yanhong and Meng Fan are also in dire straits. Huang Yuanyuan and Shen Qing are also studying together, but apart from Meng Fan, all three of them are academic failures. Shen Qing knows nothing at all, which seriously slows down Meng Fan's review progress.

Meng Fan had tried to persuade them, explaining that he also needed to review and didn't have much time to explain things to the three of them. However, Shen Qing shamelessly threatened, "If you don't explain it to me, I'll report what you've done, and we'll all be finished."

Meng Fan's face was ashen, Huang Yuanyuan's face turned pale, and she looked at Meng Fan pleadingly. Shen Yanhong looked at the group with suspicion and asked, "Report what? Are you hiding something from me?"

Shen Qing sneered, "That depends on what your good husband thinks."

Meng Fan's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll teach you, but I'll only teach you once. Whether you can do it or not depends on you."

The college entrance examination was fast approaching, and Jinran and her brothers returned to the county so they could go directly to the exam and get some more sleep.

Da Hong and Da Nan didn't go with them. They said the village chief had arranged for an oxcart to take all the village's students to the exam venue the next morning, so they wouldn't be going to the county. They would set off directly from the village.

Jinran nodded without saying anything more. But at this moment, her aunt came over and asked, "Nini, let your brother Shen Qing, sister Yan Hong, Meng Fan, and Huang Yuanyuan stay at your house today! Your sister Yan Hong is pregnant, and it's inconvenient for her to ride in the oxcart."

Jinran refused, saying, "My house is too small. If I don't get enough rest and don't do well on the exam, can my aunt afford to compensate me?"

The aunt said with dissatisfaction, "How can you be so heartless? We're all relatives, we didn't ask you for anything, and you won't even help with this little thing?"

Jinran shook her head, "I don't want to!"

The eldest aunt was furious, but she really couldn't do anything about Jinran. Jinran waved her hand boldly: "Brothers, let's go home."

After Shen Yanhong learned that Jinran had refused their request to stay in the county, she harbored a deep hatred for her third uncle's family. She thought, "Just wait, no one will ever get close to her or take advantage of her again."

On the day of the exam, Jinran instructed her brothers: "Make sure you have everything you need. Keep your admission tickets safe. And when you finish, make sure you check your answers several times. If you encounter a question you don't know, don't get stuck on it. Move on and write something else. If you have enough time at the end, come back and work on it later."

Shen Cong rubbed Jinran's head and said with a smile, "I know, the teachers have told you all of this. Nini, you really have the makings of a teacher."

Jinran exclaimed, "!!!" She was unworthy; she couldn't mislead the younger generation.

Jinran and her brothers took the exam at the school's No. 1 Middle School, while Dahong and the others were assigned to the primary school.

Once inside the examination hall, Jinran separated from her brothers.

She sat down quietly and only then did she feel the cold. Even though Jinran had heat patches all over her body, she still felt cold.

When the teacher handed out the test papers, I didn't dare to take my hands out of the paper. I had to rest after writing for a while.

The questions weren't too difficult, and Jinran answered them seriously, trying to distract herself and forget about the cold.

Among the test takers, she was dressed quite warmly; some were only wearing a thin cotton coat. Jinran felt he was stiff, like an ice sculpture.

The two-day exam passed quickly.

Several people gathered at Jinran's house to compare answers. They roughly calculated the scores, and within a few days, everyone had caught a cold.

They coughed as they spoke, "Is this written correctly?" "And how about this one?"

It's both heartbreaking and pitiful.
