It's obvious that nothing is sweeter than the sour smell of being in love.

They're showing off their love!

…………

Three days later, the hot pot was ready and brought back. Yingbao couldn't wait to eat it as soon as she got out of school. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and she was finally able to eat it!

Oh my goodness!

Oh, my land!

None of these words can adequately describe her feelings at that moment.

It was a feeling I'd never experienced before. When someone can see something every day, and it's within their reach, they often don't pay attention to it.

The same applies to food.

Only an ice-cold Coke can soothe this overwhelming feeling.

…………

Yingbao started washing her little hands, preparing to add ingredients to the hot pot.

First, the ingredients to prepare are her favorite wide rice noodles and duck blood. Then there are fresh tofu, frozen tofu, pickled vegetables, fish balls, shrimp balls, mutton, rabbit meat, crystal noodles, corn sausage, bean sprouts, fresh mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, tripe, beef tripe, etc.

It has everything.

Absolutely complete!

…………

After a flurry of activity, everyone enjoyed the rabbit hotpot. The Ye family once again praised Yingbao highly!

ah!

***

Days passed by, and the peak of exams was fast approaching.

The day has arrived to witness the fruits of a semester's work.

Grandma Wang Cuihua got up early in the morning, before dawn, when it was pitch black, to prepare breakfast for the children in the family, wishing them good grades in their exams.

Breakfast consisted of boiled eggs, fried dough sticks, and thin sticks, which, as the name suggests, were "youtiao" (fried dough sticks).

The fried dough sticks look like one, and the boiled eggs allow each family's children to eat two, giving them the illusion that they can get a perfect score of 100.

It's the desire for one's child to succeed. I believe every parent in every school hopes that their children will be learned and capable, so that they won't have to suffer the poverty their parents endured in their generation.

…………

On the day of the exam, most people had breakfast at home, and then the parents accompanied their children to the college gate to wait for them to finish the exam. They planned to go to a restaurant for a meal to relax after the exam.

This is something that people with the means would do; those without would bring some food from home and wait at the college gate.

We've been eagerly anticipating this.

In the examination room, some students were nervous, some were excited, some were afraid, some were trembling, some were expressionless and confident, and some even looked like they were ignorant and arrogant, thinking they were the best in the world.

In this environment, the teacher, carrying the test papers, began to walk towards them step by step, getting closer and closer until they were right in front of them.

The teacher distributed the test papers one by one, giving them to the students in the first row who were closest to them. Then, the students kept their own test papers, and the others were passed on to the students in the back rows in turn.

One copy for everyone.

Start answering the questions.

Yingbao scribbled away nonstop, her pen moving with incredible speed and inspiration. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was just scribbling nonsense. The proctor thought so too. She hadn't taught Yingbao's class before; she was a teacher of another class. So, she subconsciously assumed Yingbao was the kind of person who was good for nothing and was about to step forward to give her a lecture or a reminder.

Unexpectedly...

I was caught off guard and got slapped in the face.

The handwriting on the paper was clean and neat, forming its own unique style, and the problem-solving approach was also unexpected.
