As for the other subjects, since I only had a month, I couldn't cover everything. I didn't have time to study thoroughly, so I just did my best. Anyway, I wrote down everything I knew. I also tried to fill in the things I didn't know, so I filled several papers with notes...

The attitude is excellent. I hope the examiner will give me more points for this...

The last exam was over. Because he had written the essays smoothly and finished the math ahead of time, Yitiao didn't sigh like the other students when he handed in his paper. Yu Xiaoyue, crying on the table, caught a glimpse of Yitiao walking out of the exam room with a relaxed look on her face. She couldn't help but look down on him and feel a little jealous.

Isn't this cop's luck too strong? It's true, she's young, so she has plenty of opportunities to make mistakes. Unlike her, she spent her youth struggling on this remote island. Judging from the test results, I'm afraid she'll have to continue struggling...

Yu Xiaoyue was filled with resentment, then pounded the cumbersome thing in her belly. If it weren't for this thing in her belly, she would have definitely been able to review much better! Pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. Because of this cumbersome thing, she couldn't remember anything when she entered the exam room. She couldn't answer this question, she couldn't answer that question, and she couldn't even finish her composition...

Many people in the exam room were crying and holding their heads in their arms. No one noticed Yu Xiaoyue's actions at all. The college entrance examination was resumed in October this year, and the exam was held in December. This caught many educated youth off guard. They had little time to review, and the knowledge had been returned to the teachers for a long time. Just thinking about picking up the books was not easy at all.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared...

"Big brother, big brother!" Liu Tiao, who was waiting outside the examination room, locked onto his target the moment his brother Ichijo came out of the examination room.

"Mom." A man with long legs took a few long strides and came in front of his mother and brothers. "Are you cold? You don't have to wait for me outside."

"We just got here too." Cheng Zhenzhu took out a kettle from her bag and handed it to Yitiao. Inside was a bottle of honey water. "Let's go back."

"Mom, aren't you going to ask me how I did in the exam?" Yi Tiao couldn't help but ask his mother after drinking some warm and sweet honey water.

"Oh, big brother, Mom didn't ask because she didn't want to burden you. If you did well in the exam, you would definitely tell me..." Er Tiao looked at his big brother. If the big brother asked like this, there must be hope?

Yitiao scratched his head, wondering if his mother had such good intentions. Honestly, he didn't know if he'd done well or poorly on the test, but he'd done everything he could. He detailed his test results to his mother and brothers.

"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative." Cheng Zhenzhu said after listening.

"Oh..." Ichijou followed quickly. He was a little surprised to see his mother bought a lot of stationery and even spent a huge amount of money on a fountain pen.

Cheng Zhenzhu met Yi Tiao's surprised gaze, patted his shoulder and said, "These are prepared for you to go to college. I believe in you."

"Hmm!" Yitiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Since his mother said she believed him, it looked like this was a sure thing!

I thought so, but then, Ichijo, who had never been a dreamer, started to dream frequently and couldn't sleep well for two weeks.

"Brother, don't be nervous, you will definitely pass the exam!" In Liu Tiao's heart, his big brother is the best. If his big brother can't pass the exam, then no one can pass.

"I'm not nervous." Ichijo sighed and said with a certain air of old-fashionedness, "It's just that life is hard!"

"Days pass by like years." Ertiao used the idiom to describe his older brother. Seeing his older brother having trouble eating or sleeping lately, he hadn't been sleeping well either...

Cheng Zhenzhu could see a hint of nervousness, but the whole matter could be summed up in one word - wait.

The wait dragged on until the end of December. Before that, something unexpected happened: Yu Xiaoyue, a educated youth, had a miscarriage. She said she was hit in the stomach by a student in the exam room. Her in-laws didn't quite believe it, saying someone in the room saw her hit her stomach, and then the two sides argued endlessly.

Yu Xiaoyue's husband, in a fit of rage, filed for divorce. Yu Xiaoyue was ecstatic upon hearing the news. However, her in-laws, seeing her happy about the divorce, decided against it. Then, the family started making daily noises at the team leader's office...

Of course, this matter had nothing to do with anyone else, especially Yu Xiaoyue, who was always happy to gloat over others' misfortunes and take advantage of others' misfortunes. No one wanted to get involved with her, so they all just focused on their own affairs and quietly looked forward to their own exam results...

Another week passed.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, two notices arrived on the island. Then, a few days later, a third and a fourth arrived. By the beginning of January, a total of five notices had arrived on the island, but still no notice from the military academy...

The seven men started out squatting at their doorstep, then went to the captain's office, and finally, seeing he hadn't arrived yet, they rolled up their sleeves and went to the west reef to squat. Sanhai also joined the nine men squatting there with his arms folded.

"Why hasn't big brother's notice arrived yet?" Liu Tiao was so anxious for his big brother that he squatted on the ground and drew circles.

"What's supposed to come will eventually come." If it doesn't come, then it's gone... Yitiao seemed quite calm at the moment. From the initial anticipation to the subsequent nervousness, and then watching the notices arrive on the island one by one, his heart had been through many ups and downs.

Maybe it was because he wasn't good enough that he didn't pass the exam... Ichijo vaguely guessed. Regardless, he'd tried his best! He had no regrets. After these few months of studying, he felt his brain had become more effective, and all his hard work hadn't been in vain.

"Yes, it will come eventually." San Tiao stood up and pointed at a dark shadow far away in the center of the sea. "Do you think it came with that ship?"

Hearing San Tiao say this, several children stood up at once and looked towards the vague black dot in the center of the island.

......

"Mom, do you know that my elder brother almost didn't get the admission letter?" Liu Tiao said to his mother as soon as he got home.
