Two days later, the college entrance examination was over.
Jiang Nian specially prepared a bunch of fresh flowers, dressed little Anbao in new clothes, and dressed her up beautifully to meet Jiang Rendong.
People in the 1970s didn’t know what the college entrance examination meant, they just thought it was a great honor to be able to go to college.
However, as people who have traveled through time, they know too well the special significance of the college entrance examination in everyone's life. Especially for some poor students, changing their lives often depends on the college entrance examination.
For example, Yang Gaiqin.
Although Yang Gaiqin did not like her days in medical school, she had to admit that it was the college entrance examination that brought her out of the small county and allowed her to see the more exciting world outside.
So on the last day of Jiang Rendong's college entrance examination, Yang Gaiqin closed her Xiao Yang pastry shop for half a day and celebrated for Jiang Rendong even though she was not doing business.
Jiang Nian and Yang Gaiqin were waiting together at the school gate.
Yang Gaixi hadn't seen Xiao Anbao for some time, so she took out the small cakes she had made and fed them to Xiao Anbao. Xiao Anbao was very appreciative. Not only did he eat them with relish, he also praised Yang Gaixi for making them delicious, which made Yang Gaixi laugh happily.
Jiang Nian and Yang Gaiqi were chatting, "Is it okay if it delays your business?"
"It's only half a day, it's okay." Yang Gaiqin has become more mature and optimistic since opening the store. "You can't make enough money, but Jiang Rendong's college entrance examination is only once in a lifetime, so just treat it as a half-day vacation for myself to get some fresh air."
That’s right…the wind is a bit cold.
The cold wind in October blows on the body, making people feel cold to the bone and shiver uncontrollably.
"Mom, Freeze."
Little Anbao also felt cold, and his little hands holding the pastries were even colder. However, he was reluctant to put down the delicious pastries, so he snuggled into Jiang Nian's arms and put his little hands in front of him to block the wind.
Yang Gaiqi couldn't help but sigh, "Niannian, An'an is so cute! I want to sneak her home!"
While speaking, Yang Gaiqin shrank his neck and hands. He was really cold.
The clothes she wears every day are still those prepared by Jiang Nian for her. Strictly speaking, they are autumn clothes. In the past, she was busy in the kitchen of the pastry shop. She had to use all her strength to knead the dough. She was in the house, so she didn't feel cold at all, and sometimes she would even sweat from the heat.
So Yang Gaiqin didn't feel the cold outside in winter very well. But when he came out this time, he felt that winter had come completely. The north wind was blowing so hard.
Jiang Nian smiled and teased back, "I can't give you An An, but I can give you this."
She handed the prepared things to Yang Gaiqi.
"What is it? Are you going to give me a gift?" Yang Gaiqin opened it expectantly and saw a red scarf, a pair of soft gloves, and a fluffy hat.
It's the perfect three-piece suit for winter.
Yang Gaixi shouted excitedly, "Niannian, you are too soft to me! This is lamb, it feels so soft."
She took out her scarf, hat and gloves, put them on her head, wrapped them around her neck, and put on gloves on her hands. The cold wind no longer made her feel cold, and her heart felt warm.
Yang Gaijin had taken out all three sets, but there was still a small thing in the bag.
She picked it up carefully. It was a small iron box similar to the Wan Zi Qian Hong cream. It contained cream and smelled of Chinese medicine.
It is difficult to tell whether this base is a cream or an ointment.
Yang Gaiqi looked at Jiang Nian with a puzzled look.
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "This is the hand cream I made after adding medicinal herbs. Gai Xi, you... that is, your body. You used to wash clothes and cook in the winter. Life was too hard and your hands got frostbite. Frostbite will recur. Remember to apply this ointment every day. Come to me when you are done. If frostbite recurs, it will be inconvenient for you to make pastries."
"No wonder my fingers have been itching lately, it turns out my frostbite is coming back. Nian Nian, why are you so mean to me?"
Yang Gaiqin took the small ointment and said gratefully.
Even she herself hadn't thought of this, but Jiang Nian did. It was a blessing for her in her previous life to have such a friend.
While the two were talking, the sound of a bell rang in the school.
Yang Gaiyi immediately said, "Niannian, the college entrance examination is over!"
The last exam is finally over.
This was the only college entrance examination held in winter, and it was also the beginning of the regular college entrance examinations in the years that followed.
Jiang Nian and Yang Gaiqin looked towards the school gate, and little Anbao also looked at them with his big black eyes.
A few minutes after the bell rang, the school gate opened and students came out of the school one after another. Many of the candidates taking the college entrance examination were not young people. Most of them were in their teens or even adults in their thirties who wanted to seize this opportunity.
Jiang Nian also saw a mother holding her child. The mother was taking the college entrance examination, and the child was waiting outside the door for breastfeeding. The scene that she had only seen in TV dramas now appeared vividly in front of her.
Jiang Rendong is a rare young person among all the students taking the college entrance examination.
After the previous exams, Jiang Rendong was always among the first group of people to come out. Because he was young and inexperienced, Jiang Nian could always spot him at first sight.
But as the college entrance examination candidates left one after another that day, Jiang Nian never looked at Jiang Rendong. She frowned slightly.
Yang Gaiyin stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to look, and asked in confusion, "Hasn't he come out yet? Nian Nian, don't be anxious, let's wait a little longer, maybe there are too many people and he has fallen behind. Ren Dong's grades are so good, he will definitely have no problem with the exam."
"Well, let's wait a little longer."
Jiang Nian waited patiently.
In this way, people came out of the school in batches, batches after batches.
Most of the candidates who came out last were dejected, with the words "failed the exam" written on their faces. Some even slapped themselves in the face, and then tears fell.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nian and Yang Gaiqin felt sad.
Could it be that Jiang Rendong failed the exam and was afraid to face reality, so he stayed in school?
"No, it won't be like that. Rendong is so smart, he must have been delayed by something. He will come out soon, he will definitely come out." Yang Gaiqin was afraid that Jiang Nian would worry too much, so he kept talking to comfort Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian frowned tightly and said directly, "No need to wait, let's go in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Nianjing strode forward, and Yang Gaiqin hurriedly followed.
The two walked into the school together. The so-called school was just a two-story building with a total of seven or eight classrooms, and you could see the end at a glance.
