Amidst the laughter and cheers of the crowd, Jiang Nianli dismounted and walked briskly towards her family. The gong in her hand gleamed golden in the sunset, as if telling of her glory. Su Jinli stepped forward and gently wiped the sweat from Nianli's forehead, her eyes full of love and pride: "Baby, you are amazing! Mom knew you could do it!"
Si Yan also came over and looked at the gong in his sister's hand. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, but more of it was happiness for his sister. "Sister, your arrow is really worth it. If it were converted into silver, you could buy a lot of abacus!" He said with a smile, and his money-grubber look made everyone laugh.
Jiang Yan looked at the joyful scene before him, a flood of emotion welling up in his heart. He recalled his years of hard work in the officialdom. Although he had achieved much, all that glory seemed insignificant compared to the joy of his family at that moment. He knew that true happiness did not come from fame and fortune, but from the companionship and support of his family, from the little things in life.
As the sky darkened, Jiang Nianli and her family joyfully set off on their journey home. Along the way, Nianli excitedly recounted her experience of horseback archery, her eyes sparkling as if she were still immersed in the thrilling experience. "Mom, didn't you see? The horse was quite unruly at first, but I wasn't scared at all. I was determined to hit the gong!" Nianli recounted her story vividly.
Su Jinli listened to her daughter's story with a smile, nodding from time to time in response: "Baby, you did the right thing. You can't back down when you encounter difficulties. You must face them bravely. Your performance today makes you so proud."
Jiang Yan listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words to remind his daughter not to be complacent and to keep working hard. He looked at his daughter's energetic back and vowed to fully support her dreams, no matter how difficult the road ahead.
Si Yan was also busy. As he walked, he was thinking about how much bonus his sister would get if she passed the martial arts exam, and what she could do with it. His little head was full of wonderful ideas, as if he had already seen a beautiful future.
Back home, the family sat around the dinner table, enjoying a warm dinner. The flickering candlelight illuminated everyone's face, filled with happy smiles. Jiang Nianli's journey to the martial arts exam continued, and their family would continue on this road full of challenges and hope, moving forward hand in hand to create more beautiful memories together. Every experience, whether success or failure, would become a precious treasure in their lives, bringing their family closer together and enriching their lives. On this quiet and beautiful night, the Jiang family was filled with laughter, and this happiness, like the bright starlight, would illuminate every step of their future.
As the martial arts exam progressed, Jiang Nianli faced even more severe tests. The next few competitions would not only test her martial arts skills, but also her adaptability and psychological strength. However, after the first two competitions, Nianli became more calm and confident.
In the weapon competition, Nian Li held a spear and moved nimbly in the examination room. Her spear skills were sharp, and every move and every style contained power and skill. The spear danced in her hand like a dragon out of the sea, full of vigor and vitality, attracting cheers from everyone present. Jiang Yan, Su Jinli and Si Yan stood aside, nervously watching Nian Li's every move. Su Jinli's hand tightly grasped Jiang Yan's arm, her eyes revealing a hint of worry, but more of trust in her daughter. "Husband, look at Nian Li, she has really grown up and become so powerful." Su Jinli said with emotion.
Jiang Yan nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "Yes, we have seen her efforts along the way, and I believe she will achieve good results."
While watching his sister compete, Si Yan silently calculated in his mind: "If my sister performs well in this competition, she might get extra rewards. If I use this money for investment, I might make a lot of money..." His little head is always full of various thoughts about money, as if the whole world can be measured by numbers.
At the end of the competition, Nian Li won the unanimous recognition of the examiners with her outstanding performance. Her name gradually spread in the examination room, and she became the focus of everyone's attention. However, Nian Li did not become complacent because she knew that there were more important competitions waiting for her.
The final competition was a comprehensive test, encompassing tactical strategy, physical endurance, and teamwork. Nian Li, fully aware of the importance of this competition, prepared diligently, repeatedly discussing tactics with her teammates. Jiang Yan watched his daughter busy at work, feeling both distressed and proud. He understood how much effort his daughter had put in to achieve her dream.
"Husband, what can we do for Nianli?" Su Jinli looked at Jiang Yan, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Jiang Yan held Su Jinli's hand and comforted her, "All we can do is stay by her side to support her and encourage her. Nianli is a strong child, she will definitely be able to cope with these challenges."
Finally, the day of the comprehensive competition arrived. The atmosphere in the examination hall was tense, and every candidate was fully prepared. Nianli and her teammates encouraged each other and faced the challenge with confidence. As the competition began, Nianli fully utilized her strengths. Not only did she excel in physical fitness, but she also relied on her keen insight and decisive decision-making to lead her teammates to victory after victory on the simulated battlefield.
During the teamwork session, Nianli and her teammates worked in perfect harmony. They trusted and supported each other, and together they completed one difficult task after another. Jiang Yan, Su Jinli, and Si Yan cheered for Nianli in the audience, their voices echoing throughout the examination room. "Nianli, keep going!" "Sister, you're the best!"
As the competition concluded, the examiners began tallying the results. Jiang Nianli's family anxiously awaited the results. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed incredibly long. Finally, the chief examiner stepped onto the podium and announced the results. "For this martial arts examination, candidate Jiang Nianli has won due to his outstanding performance..." The examiner's voice echoed throughout the examination room, and Jiang Nianli's family's hearts raced.
When Su Jinli heard her daughter's name announced as the first place in the martial arts exam, tears welled up in her eyes. Jiang Yan smiled with relief and hugged Su Jinli tightly, as if wanting to share this joy with her. Si Yan jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Sister, you're amazing! I knew you could do it!"
Jiang Nianli stood on the podium, looking at her family below, tears welling in her eyes. She knew that her journey had been inseparable from their support and encouragement. She bowed deeply in the direction of her family, thanking them for their continued companionship and dedication.
The setting sun cast its afterglow across the examination hall, bringing a successful conclusion to this passionate and hardworking martial arts exam. Jiang Nianli and his family returned home filled with joy and pride. Their figures were particularly heartwarming in the sunset, and Jiang Nianli's journey to the martial arts exam would become a lasting and beautiful memory for their family, inspiring them to bravely face all challenges and pursue their dreams in the future.
