After he finished explaining, he went on to explain things to Yu Yuehui in a clear and concise manner, patiently answering every question she had from day to night.
Finally, December 15th arrived, and Yu Yuehui faced the life-changing college entrance examination.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still tinged with the first light of dawn, Xie Yan accompanied Yu Yue back to the examination hall.
The biting wind felt like knives cutting into his face, but Xie Yan, as always, wrapped himself up like a ball, leaving only his eyes showing. He looked at Yu Yuehui with concern and apprehension, holding her hand tightly as if trying to transfer his strength to her, and whispered, "Don't be nervous, you can do it." Yu Yuehui nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and walked into the examination room.
In order to provide Yu Yuehui with support as soon as possible, Xie Yan specially stayed at a guesthouse near the examination venue.
After seeing Yu Yue off, I went straight back to the guesthouse, set my alarm, and fell asleep immediately!
In this cold weather, it's perfect to sleep in bed.
As for Yu Yuehui's performance in the exam, Xie Yan wasn't worried at all. After all, he had taught her, and he knew her abilities best. The college entrance exam was nothing to him.
After the first Chinese exam, Yu Yue walked out of the exam room with a confident smile on her face. When she saw Xie Yan, she walked over quickly and said excitedly, "Xie Xiaoyan, I think I did pretty well in Chinese this time. The questions were all within the scope of our review."
Seeing his wife's happy expression, Xie Yan felt relieved and said with a smile, "I knew you could do it. Come on, I've already prepared the food. Let's go back to the guesthouse to eat and get some rest so we can recharge for the afternoon."
After the political exam was over, Yu Yuehui completely relaxed.
She walked out of the examination room with light steps, like a cheerful little bird.
After Xie Yan met her outside the door, the two of them stood at the intersection looking relaxed and waited for Gu Bin and his wife.
They met up with Gu Bin and his wife. The four of them went to the state-run restaurant to celebrate. Everyone had done well on the exam. After eating and drinking their fill of delicious food, they remembered their children at home and strolled over to the supply and marketing cooperative, mainly to buy some snacks for the kids.
It was almost the first time for them to be separated from their children for such a long time, especially for the two mothers, whose hearts were filled with longing for their children.
Yu Yuehui is a little better off, after all, her children are all grown up and sensible.
Zhang Linghui is different; her third child is only one year old this year, and she asked Cherry to take care of him when she came out.
Adults always worry more about children.
Oh, by the way, Wu Dali also took the college entrance examination this year.
Judging from his appearance, he did very well on the exam. When he came out of the exam room, he walked with a confident stride and a smile on his face.
However, to Xie Yan's and many others' surprise, Wu Dali did not have the same idea of divorcing his wife as others when the college entrance examination was reinstated, and he didn't even mention it.
Cherry had already prepared to divorce him, since both children were now grown up and she had the courage to live alone.
But this time, Wu Dali seemed to be on steroids. After the college entrance examination, he not only did not abandon his family, but also called home to ask them to tidy up the house so that he could take his family back.
This sudden change left Cherry somewhat bewildered.
The four of them rode their bikes home. In the distance, near the old tree at the village entrance, they saw four children sitting in a row, looking on expectantly.
It turned out to be Chaochao, Yangyang, and Tangtang, along with Gu Bin's second child, Chenchen. They were like a vintage version of "Wangchang Family Stone," quietly waiting for their parents to return in the cold wind.
They look so pitiful.
Upon seeing the children, Yu Yuehui immediately stopped the car, rushed forward, and quickly touched their hands. Seeing that their hands were all warm, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you all silly?! Waiting outside in this cold weather, aren't you cold?"
The four children shook their heads with smiles. Yangyang and Tangtang were like two happy little squirrels, one hugging Xie Yan's leg and the other hugging Yu Yuehui's leg. With their rosy little faces upturned, they said in unison, "Daddy/Mommy, it's not cold. We're waiting for you!"
"Mom, how did your exam go?"
Yu Yue pinched Tangtang's cold cheek and said with a smile, "Mother thinks you did very well on the exam."
Upon hearing that she had done well on the test, Tangtang immediately grinned.
Xie Yan also touched Yangyang's little hand; it was nice and warm.
Under the guidance of their older sister Chaochao, these two little ones exercise every day and are in great shape. Plus, they are dressed warmly and haven't been cold at all.
But Xie Yan herself was freezing!
He really didn't want to be out in the cold with the little ones, so without saying a word, he picked up Yangyang and gently placed him in the car, then picked up Tangtang and put her in the back as well, saying to Yu Yuehui, "Wife, take the two of them back first."
Gu Bin, who was already freezing cold with his hands and feet, was being pulled around by the clueless Chenchen who kept asking him all sorts of questions.
He imitated Xie Yan, placing Chenchen directly on the crossbar of the bicycle, and with a push of his foot, the bicycle shot off like an arrow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that Gu Bin was definitely doing it on purpose, putting the little brat in front of him, clearly wanting him to get a little cold and scare the child.
Watching Gu Bin's departing figure, Chaochao smiled and said to Xie Yan, "Dad, did Uncle Gu do that on purpose?"
Xie Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I can see that!"
"You, in this freezing weather, why don't you wear more clothes? Aren't you afraid of the cold?!"
Chaochao smiled and glanced at Xie Yan, then playfully asked, "So, are you feeling cold right now?"
"Nonsense!" Xie Yan said, reaching out to take Chaochao's hand out of her pocket. Goodness, her little hand was warm, like a little furnace. "Quick, lend me your pocket so I can warm my hands."
While pretending to be disgusted, Chaochao tightly covered her father's hands, "Oh dear, no wonder you said you were cold, your hands are frozen solid."
"It seems you still lack exercise, Father!"
Upon hearing that he still needed to exercise, Xie Yan became anxious and shouted, "I was just blown by the wind, don't you understand?!"
And so, the father and daughter bickered as they slowly made their way home.
Along the way, Chaochao kept telling Xie Yan about the funny things that had happened at home in the past few days, making Xie Yan laugh out loud, and the cold seemed to be dispelled at that moment.
