After a few days of rest, Lin Muren is in good spirits. Sun Yuqi said that the heroine should not be so fragile. How could she be defeated by a small thing?
The day of the college entrance examination soon arrived. Sun Yuqi and his group arrived at the county one day in advance and found a guesthouse near the examination venue to stay in.
There are not many restaurants on the streets now, because considering that eating is a problem for so many educated youth after they arrive in the county, the old team leader finally asked the team leader Zheng Chengwei to bring Aunt Mei to the county with him and cook for the educated youth every day in the kitchen of the guesthouse, which made the educated youth very grateful.
Such things cannot be seen in other brigades or villages, because the people in those villages are rarely as simple and honest as the villagers in Zhengjiatun, and there is no team leader like Zheng Chengwei.
After much deliberation, Sun Yuqi and other educated youth decided to buy some gifts to the team leader's home after the exam to thank him for taking care of them during this period.
After arriving at the county, they arranged accommodation in the guesthouse, went to the Cultural and Educational Office to collect their admission tickets, and confirmed their examination venues for the last time before dispersing to go shopping.
Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren were so stupid that they thought they could go out shopping alone, but Chen Hao insisted that they follow him, so in the end, the two of them went shopping in the county town with one person following behind them.
The next morning, Sun Yuqi, Lin Muren, and the others woke up early. After eating the breakfast prepared by Aunt Mei, they took their pens and paper to the examination room. They discovered it was snowing again, but for the educated youth experiencing their third winter here, this was nothing new. Braving the snow and wind, they arrived at the gate of No. 1 Middle School.
This is where they will take the exam. The school is not open yet, so everyone is standing at the school gate. Some are nervous, some are not nervous at all, but the clenched fists in their sleeves show their nervousness and fear, and some have smiles on their faces, and I don’t know if they are very confident or just don’t care.
Sun Yuqi, Lin Muran, Chen Hao, Liu Jingjing, and the others were all standing outside the school, watching the scene unfold. Since they had all been in the countryside for only two or three years, they weren't yet completely unfamiliar with the school. Some of the older cohorts who had gone to the countryside earlier were already approaching thirty, many of them married and had children, and their faces were already filled with the vicissitudes of life.
"Yuqi, look at that person, he looks so old!"
Sun Yuqi looked in the direction of the voice and happened to meet that person's eyes. She smiled awkwardly.
The man was magnanimous enough not to say anything, but just smiled and didn't care about what Liu Jingjing said.
Sun Yuqi turned to look at Liu Jingjing, only to see that she was also standing there with a flushed face.
"Alright, be more careful with your words next time. They should be seniors from the third batch. They've been in the countryside for over ten years now, so they're in their thirties now. It was all because of that movement that they were delayed. It's not their fault."
Sun Yuqi said this not because he was a saint. In life, you can encounter anything, and they don't want it to be like this. They are nearly 30 years old and only have a chance to pass an unknown test to leave this rural area and return to the city they have been longing for.
In fact, Liu Jingjing did not look down on them. She just suddenly saw those older people coming to take the exam, so she said it without thinking too much. When she said it, she realized that her words could easily be misunderstood, so she felt embarrassed. Fortunately, although the person heard it, he was not angry, which made Liu Jingjing relieved.
Lin Muren stood aside and almost laughed out loud. Liu Jingjing and Lu Yao were very similar, both had a carefree vibe. However, Lu Yao came from a different background than Liu Jingjing, so although she seemed carefree, she was quite well-mannered and not annoying. Liu Jingjing, on the other hand, simply didn't pay attention to the occasion and spoke carelessly.
Time passed slowly, and everyone felt like their hands and feet were not their own. Then the school gate opened, and everyone entered the examination room with their admission tickets.
After three days of exams, Sun Yuqi was still somewhat confident about her college entrance examination results. After more than two years of study, she had a very good grasp of high school knowledge. She did not feel that the test questions in the past few days were too difficult. She could do them anyway. As for whether she was right or not, she was still somewhat confident.
After the exam, everyone returned to the guesthouse and found Aunt Mei still busy cooking. The girls all went forward to help, while Chen Hao, Zhang Jianlin and the others didn't know what to do. When they arrived, an ox cart of firewood had been pulled from the village. It had been burned for the past few days, so they could leave the county and Zhengjiatun tomorrow.
Early the next morning, everyone, finally relieved, went to the station and took a bus back to Red Star Commune.
Because it had snowed two days ago, the road to the countryside was even more difficult to travel, so the car was moving very slowly. It was already mid-afternoon when we arrived at Hongxing Commune. The people who got off the car did not dare to delay any longer because it would take nearly two hours to get back to Zhengjiatun.
Finally, when it was dark, the group returned to Zhengjiatun. The old captain was already waiting at the entrance of the village accompanied by his grandson.
"Dad, why did you come out? It's very cold, don't freeze!"
The old captain ignored Zheng Chengwei's words and looked at Sun Yuqi and his group.
"How was your test?"
Chen Hao stepped forward and supported the old captain.
"Grandpa Zheng, don't worry! We don't know if we can pass the exam, but we've tried our best. If we don't pass, we can't blame anyone else. At worst, we can just take the exam again next year!"
When the old captain heard what Chen Hao said, he nodded.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Since we've already taken the exam, there's no need to dwell on it. Like you said, if we don't pass, we can just take it again next year."
Because the Youth League Home was not far from the entrance of the village, they arrived there quickly. The team leader and the other educated youths went there before they took their father and Aunt Mei home.
After the exam, everyone returned to the house. Before they left, they had asked the villagers to help heat the kang every day to prevent the house from becoming an ice cellar when they returned. So when they returned, the house was very warm.
Lying down and looking at Lin Muran, he murmured.
"Yuqi, I don't know if we can pass the exam. If we can't, then we will have to stay here until July next summer."
Sun Yuqi said with a smile.
"The exams are already over, so don't think about it anymore. If we pass, we'll go to college. If we don't, we'll wait until next summer."
