Yu Yuehui stood in front of the table, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes glancing at the test papers on the table from time to time, her expression revealing obvious tension.
After all, this was an exam, and there were other people present. Her heart was pounding in her chest like a restless deer.
As she picked up the exam paper and glanced through it, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the tension on her face vanished instantly.
Her habit of checking her test paper first was taught to her by Xie Yan, which instilled in her the habit of checking it no matter where she took the exam.
Xie Yan's own experience: He didn't have this habit before, until one time during an exam, after finishing the entire paper, he flipped to the back and found that some questions were not printed clearly and had missing words.
Fortunately, the exam was in math, and most of the questions were numbers, so he was able to copy them onto another test paper relatively quickly.
But if it's a Chinese exam, just copying those words would waste so much time.
Yu Yuehui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the test paper was not difficult.
She looked down at the pen that had been prepared beforehand, a determined glint in her eyes, and then began to write with a "swish, swish" sound.
Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on her focused face and illuminating the slight upturn of her lips. Xie Yan's lips also curled up in sympathy.
Principal Zhou nodded with great satisfaction. It was clear that Xie Yan really cared about his wife. From the moment he entered the room, his eyes had never left Comrade Yu Yuehui. When introducing her to him, the hidden pride in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Looking at the two people opposite him, he became more and more satisfied.
Yu Yue started with the Chinese language test. Because she had to write a lot of text, she was a little slow. In addition, there was also an essay, which took her a hundred minutes.
The allotted time was 120 minutes, and fortunately, the time was managed fairly well.
In contrast, she was much faster at doing math tests, finishing them smoothly in just one hour.
After grading the papers, Principal Zhou looked at the amazing results and couldn't help but look at Yuehui with new respect.
She got all the math questions right, and only lost a few points on her Chinese composition, all while studying in her spare time.
Genius!
Of course, he was also very satisfied with Xie Yan. Yu Yue hadn't even passed the entrance exam for junior high school when she graduated from elementary school, but now she had such good grades, which was inseparable from Xie Yan as her teacher.
He looked at Xie Yan with a hint of probing in his eyes and asked, "Xie Yan, why do I have a feeling that you used to be a teacher?"
Xie Yan looked at Principal Zhou's eager eyes and instantly understood the meaning behind his words.
But Xie Yan had no idea about this at all. He was almost bald from studying medicine, and he wasn't the kind of energetic person his daughter and wife were.
Moreover, the world of traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, like a boundless universe. There is so much for him to learn that he has no energy left to do anything else.
Xie Yan pretended not to understand the meaning behind Principal Zhou's words and said with a smile, "Yes! I did do it before, but I was too busy later and couldn't find the time, so I had to resign."
Principal Zhou understood Xie Yan's tactful refusal and felt a deep sense of regret, lamenting that such a talented teacher had been missed.
But it's okay, we still have Yu Yuehui.
Principal Zhou turned his head and smiled at Yu Yuehui, saying, "Very good, student Yu has a very solid foundation. Welcome to become a member of our Hongxing Middle School."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuehui froze, her mind going blank for a moment.
Isn't this Uncle Zhou, the gatekeeper?
What exactly did he mean by that?
She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Xie Yan with a blank expression, her eyes filled with confusion. And hidden in this confusion was a glimmer of hope that she herself had not even realized.
Xie Yan couldn't help but laugh at her adorable appearance, laughing so happily that his eyes narrowed into slits.
He gently took Yu Yuehui's hand and said, "Wife, you got into Hongxing Middle School."
Then, Xie Yan patiently explained the cause and effect of the matter to her, step by step. Yu Yue listened quietly, and as Xie Yan spoke, her eyes widened, and the expression on her face gradually changed from confusion to surprise.
After hearing it, she felt as if she had been hit by a huge surprise, and she was a little lightheaded.
She looked at Xie Yan in a daze, then turned her gaze to Principal Zhou, as if she had just realized what was happening.
She quickly stood up and, somewhat reservedly, called out loudly to Principal Zhou, "Principal Zhou!"
Principal Zhou was startled by her sudden and solemn action. He quickly waved his hand and said kindly, "Don't be so nervous. Just call me Uncle Zhou as before. You haven't officially enrolled yet, so it's early for the principal to call you that."
With a hint of shyness and eagerness on her face, Yu Yuehui quickly waved her hand, "No, no, Principal Zhou, you are a leader of the school, I should have addressed you like this earlier."
Looking at his wife's somewhat flustered and helpless appearance, Xie Yan felt a pang of tenderness and affection.
He gently reached out and tenderly grasped Yu Yuehui's hand, as if holding a rare treasure, and softly comforted her, "It's alright, wife, just listen to Uncle Zhou. After school starts, we'll come over and complete the enrollment procedures, then you can call him Principal Zhou."
Principal Zhou smiled and nodded in agreement.
He glanced up casually at the sun high in the sky outside the window, its rays filtering through the dappled leaves and casting golden shadows.
Principal Zhou waved his hand and said, "You should go back now. There are still things to do at the grain station. Don't linger too long."
Xie Yan smiled and said, "It's alright, there are people looking after them over there. Today, Yu Yuehui passed the junior high school entrance exam, which is a great occasion. We should go out and have a good meal to celebrate. Uncle Zhou, would you like to come along?"
"It's lively and fun with lots of people."
Principal Zhou waved his hand and politely declined, saying, "You all go ahead, I have a lot of things to do, so I won't join in the fun with you young people."
"Go and celebrate! This is something to be happy about."
The two walked out of the campus, the warm sunlight shining on them.
Yu Yuehui still felt a dreamlike, unreal feeling.
She reached out and grabbed Xie Yan, who was about to ride off, her eyes filled with doubt and unease, and asked softly, "Xie Xiaoyan, are you lying to me?"
Xie Yan stared blankly at Yu Yuehui, his eyes wide with confusion: "??? Wife, why would you think that?"
"Where did you get this conclusion?"
Yu Yuehui frowned slightly, pointed to the school behind her, and said with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, "That test was too easy. I don't think it's the kind of test that can determine whether I can get into junior high school. So I suspect that you arranged it on purpose to make me happy."
