Chapter 375 College Entrance Examination
In less than two months, it passed in the blink of an eye while candidates across the country were busy reviewing.
Since the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination was too hasty, many people could not find the information at all and could only borrow from each other and copy it.
But even if I wanted to borrow it, it wouldn't be that easy, after all, the college entrance examination had been suspended for ten years.
Many books have already been sent to the scrap yard for processing and disposal.
It can be said that most people are not prepared for this exam.
After all, in the past ten years, most of them have either been working in the fields or in factories. Even if they want to review, it is not easy to catch up in a short period of time.
On December 10th, a heavy snow had just passed and it was mid-winter.
It had just snowed in Western Province, and the road to the county seat was very difficult to travel.
The candidates were afraid of being late, so they set out before dawn.
It was freezing cold, with a biting north wind. The examinees walking on the snow were shivering.
Most of the candidates these days come from poor families, and their winter cotton-padded clothes are patched layer upon layer. Some of the cotton wool inside has even clumped into balls. After not long, many people's lips have turned purple from the freezing cold.
But even if they were frozen like this, it still couldn't extinguish the fire in their hearts!
The candidates are like pilgrims. Even though they know the road ahead is bumpy, they still move forward resolutely with firm steps.
When the snow was slippery, they supported each other. When the wind was cold, they huddled together.
The snowy road leading to the county town was filled with candidates encouraging each other in groups of three or five.
I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly, I heard a car horn from behind.
Even bicycles are rare these days, so how could the candidates have ever seen a car?
Hearing the horn, everyone turned their heads curiously.
Then I saw a huge green car moving slowly forward.
When the candidates saw that it was a military vehicle, their eyes suddenly lit up with astonishment.
They are soldiers!
They are soldiers who defend their country!
It can be said that in China, soldiers are always the most loved and admired people.
When they saw the military vehicles approaching, the candidates consciously stood to the side of the road and made way for the highway.
But when the military vehicle drove up to them, it stopped immediately.
The candidates were a little confused, then they saw the car door opened and a soldier with broad shoulders and long legs jumped out of the car.
Seeing the soldiers' skillful movements, the examinees couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
After the soldier got off the car, his target was very clear and he walked up to them in just a few steps.
"Are you going to the county seat to take the exam?"
When the candidates heard this, they were all a little surprised, but they all nodded obediently.
"Yes, military comrade, we are going to the county seat to take the college entrance examination."
"Then get in the car. We also need to go to the examination room."
Shen He pointed to the rear compartment and spoke to them.
When the candidates heard him say that he would take them to the examination room, they became very excited.
"Thank you! Comrade soldier!"
The candidates expressed their gratitude repeatedly, and their admiration and gratitude for the soldiers reached an unprecedented level.
Sure enough, wherever the masses are in trouble, there will be the presence of the Chinese soldiers.
With the help of Shen He, the candidates climbed into the rear carriage one by one.
The front of the car had been wrapped with canvas. After getting on the car, the cold wind was directly blocked out, and the candidates felt much better.
The car started again, and there were many candidates like them on the road.
Without exception, the military vehicles stopped to let them get on.
By the time we arrived at the county town, a military vehicle was almost full of people.
Before the candidates got off the bus, Shen He told everyone to wait at the gathering point after the afternoon exam, and the bus would take them back.
When the candidates heard that the soldiers were going to send them back, they were so moved that they almost cried.
"Thank you, military comrades!"
The candidates once again expressed their gratitude.
Although the weather was cold, their hearts were warm as if burning with fire.
In front, Yue Xingping had already opened the rear passenger seat and reached out to help Xie Fangshu get out of the car.
"I can do it myself."
Xie Fangshu slapped his hand away and climbed down swiftly.
Yue Xingping: …
His wife is becoming less and less polite to him now.
Xie Fangshu didn't care about her man's mental journey.
After she jumped out of the car, she turned around and went to help Su Ranran.
Su Ranran did not refuse and helped her get out of the car.
After she came down, she and Xie Fangshu stood on each side to pick up the other four military wives.
The two babies, Xiao Zhaozhao and Xiao Yanyan, were still sleeping, so Su Ranran asked Zhou Yujuan to take care of them.
After Shen He and other candidates got off the bus, they also walked over.
I had already checked the test sites in advance, and Su Ranran happened to be in the same test site as Xie Fangshu.
The other four military wives were assigned to two other test sites.
However, the parking lot was not far away, so they walked there on their own.
Su Ranran and Xie Fangshu were at the examination site of Yixian Middle School. When they arrived at the school gate, the outside was already full of people.
There was a soldier following each of them, and as soon as the four of them walked into the entrance of the examination room, they attracted everyone's attention.
Soldiers are the focus of attention wherever they go, and the two female comrades are particularly outstanding in appearance, especially Su Ranran, who has fair skin and delicate eyebrows and eyes. Isn't it hard to take your eyes off her?
Shen He protected his wife and moved her to a position against the wall.
"Stand here, it's not that cold."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the side without leaving any trace.
It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Su Ranran's petite body was blocked by him.
Yue Xingping: …
I never expected the deputy head of the group to be such a stingy person. He can't even let others look at his wife.
But although Yue Xingping was complaining in his heart, his body was very honest and he put his wife behind him.
"What are you doing? You're blocking my view."
Xie Fangshu was unhappy, and secretly pinched Yue Xingping with her hand where no one else noticed.
Yue Xingping felt both pain and pleasure, but his face showed no sign of it. "I was afraid you'd be cold, so I blocked the wind for you."
Xie Fangshu looked at him with suspicion.
Yue Xingping remained calm and looked righteous and solemn.
Finally, Xie Fangshu had to give up the idea of observing the other candidates and turned around to chat with Su Ranran.
Mainly, Su Ranran asked her, "Please check your admission ticket, pen and paper again."
Xie Fangshu did not dare to be careless and checked it again carefully.
"Don't be nervous. With your current learning progress, there will be no problem."
I don’t know if it was Su Ranran’s words that had a soothing effect, but Xie Fangshu was not so nervous anymore.
Not long after, the door of the examination room opened.
"The door is open, the door is open, Ranran, let's go quickly." Xie Fangshu shouted anxiously and wanted to pull Su Ranran.
But he was stopped by Yue Xingping.
"Slow down, don't run so fast, be careful the road is slippery."
Shen He also reminded Su Ranran, "Take your time, don't rush."
The two lesbians entered the examination room under the nervous gazes of their respective men.
