Time won't stop for anyone, and there's no use trying to slow it down; the exam is here as scheduled.
In the morning, Lu Shurui and Yu Yin packed their things, left their child with their neighbor Yi Xian, and rode their bicycles to the examination venue. Luckily, they were at the same examination center.
Because a preliminary exam had been organized beforehand, eliminating a large number of people, she and Lu Shurui were able to participate in the real college entrance examination after passing the preliminary exam.
Yu Yin answered the first subject, Chinese, quite smoothly.
After leaving the examination hall, I saw Lu Shurui waiting outside, and we rode our bikes home together.
Sister Yixian had already prepared the meal, and Wang Wenye and his wife were also there. These past few days, the Chu family had become their support center for the college entrance examination, taking care of all the necessary matters.
And so, the intense exams came to an end, leaving everyone exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Qian Weiguo, in particular, had the worst grades here.
"Brother, have you decided which school you want to apply to?" Lu Shuqi asked, having rushed back to take the exam. If he could get into university this time, he could finally go home.
"We haven't looked into it yet. I need to discuss it with your sister-in-law. Even if we're not in the same school, we can't be too far apart." Lu Shurui and the others had discussed it before, and decided to choose a university in Shanghai, and then they would look into the major later.
"No rush. They know how well they did on the exam. Choose a good one and a less good one as a backup. They can't afford to be disappointed." That's the main point. They don't know if they'll have another chance, after all, they're getting older.
Lu Shurui expressed his opinion and then got up to go home.
"Ah, it's finally over!" Yu Yin exclaimed to Lu Shurui as he entered. It was such a difficult time!
"Yes, it's finally over, and we have to leave too." Looking around at the home we've lived in for several years, I really feel a little reluctant to leave; so many wonderful memories are here.
"Comrade Lu is very confident!" Yu Yin felt that she had done well on the exam, but she couldn't compare with a true academic genius like Lu Shurui. It seemed that the Lu family members were born with a talent for studying.
Lu Shuqi is average, and even An'an, who always complains about not wanting to go to school, is amazing!
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to pass the exam." Lu Shurui was full of confidence; he had done really well on the exam.
"Shurui, have you decided what major you want to study?" Yu Yin knew he was good at learning and liked research, but she really didn't know what industry he wanted to work in.
"After graduating from high school, I worked as a temporary worker in the library. Back then, nobody read books; everyone was out traveling and making connections. I was the only one who could stay there quietly and read books. It was very pleasant." Lu Shurui recalled that time with longing.
"I want to choose a more academic major, study it carefully, and ideally stay at the university to teach and have the opportunity to join a research team."
Lu Shurui is neither good at nor fond of complicated interpersonal relationships, but he enjoys being a teacher for the past few years.
"If I could become a teacher, I would have plenty of time to spend with my child and you." This is his true feeling; he wants his child to have the company of both parents.
Lu Shurui's experience was somewhat similar to Yu Yin's, but much better than Yu Yin's; he simply lived at his grandmother's house for several years.
But deep down, he still longed for his own home and was attached to it.
"It's great. I like coming home to people, to the warmth of home, to the feeling of home, not to an empty place." Yu Yin is also a homebody at heart.
“I want to study accounting to consolidate my previous knowledge. It will be easier to learn, and I will have more time for my child.”
Yu Yin thought that if she had the chance in the future, she would like to start her own business, achieve financial freedom, and make her children less tired. Accounting would be a good fit.
Once the two have a basic understanding of each other's thoughts, they need to find a comprehensive university so they can be together and it will be easier to take care of the child.
When the results were announced, a huge crowd gathered in front of the list, making it impossible to get close.
Cheers and cries followed, for an exam could change the fate of so many people.
They waited until the crowd dispersed before checking the list.
This year's college entrance examination did not release scores, only posted the list of places available for those who passed the cutoff score. Once you passed, you could go for a physical examination and apply for college.
What follows is a long wait.
Before the acceptance letters arrived, there was nothing they could do: whether they would be accepted, which school they would be accepted to, and where their address would be. All Yu Yin and her friends could do was dispose of things they didn't need and couldn't mail, and give them to people in need.
The biggest problem is their house, which Yu Yin plans to sell.
Although they were reluctant to leave, they couldn't come back anytime soon, and they wouldn't be able to return to live there in the future. If people didn't live there for a long time, the building would collapse, which would be even more of a pity.
I originally wanted my second sister to help me look into housing, but I haven't received my college acceptance letter yet, so I don't know where to buy a house and can only wait.
Fortunately, things are looking up regarding the house.
Yu Yin's colleague from the county government wanted to get married and had her eye on their house.
Yu Yin bought it for 650 yuan. In the past few years, she has planted fruit trees in the yard and added a lot of things. Yu Yin is asking for 1,000 yuan, and she wants to keep all the furniture and other things.
In the end, both parties agreed, mainly because Yu Yin's house was fully furnished with furniture, pots and pans, etc., which was equivalent to moving in with your suitcase in later years.
The agreement was that once Yin and her classmates received their acceptance letters, they would complete the formalities before leaving.
Just when everyone was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the first acceptance letter, everyone was overjoyed, knowing that they could finally go to university.
Yu Yin and Lu Shurui received their admission notices at the same time; it was from their first choice, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Lu Shurui majored in Mechanical Dynamics, Yu Yin majored in Accounting, and Lu Shuqi majored in English. They applied to the same university.
What surprised Yu Yin the most was that Lu Shuxin also took the college entrance examination and was admitted to a normal university in Kunming.
It is said that she and her husband have discussed it and agreed that she will come back after graduation or that the three of them will have the opportunity to visit each other again.
After getting married, Lu Shuxin had two children, a son and a daughter, and she takes good care of them.
Her husband is also very considerate towards her; she received the love from her husband that she didn't receive from her parents.
In any case, it's a blessing that there won't be a brother and sister searching for their mother anymore.
As soon as Lu Shurui received his admission notice, he called his second brother-in-law and asked him to help him find a house for sale or rent near the school. They would definitely need to find a place to stay after they returned home, so they didn't need to worry about staying at home.
Everything that could be mailed has been mailed, the house has been handed over, and Comrade Chu Jianguo helped buy train tickets. Everything is settled.
"Yu Yin, this is my mother-in-law's address and phone number. Remember them and contact me later." Su Yixian was very reluctant to part with her. They had lived next door to each other for the past few years and got along like sisters.
"Don't worry, I will definitely remember it. You are one of my only two friends!" In the past few years, besides Ah Xiang, Yu Yin has only gotten along well with Sister Yi Xian.
"Chu Chen, when I become a commander, you must come and be my soldier, don't forget!" An An reminded him worriedly.
"I understand, I've got it." Chu Chen had already answered several times; this commander's memory wasn't very good.
Wang Wenye and his friends also got into university. They're all from Beijing and will be going back in the next few days. They exchanged mailing addresses, and now it's really time to say goodbye.
