Chapter 140 The Middle School Entrance Examination Ends
Gu Qinglang waited outside the door. To be honest, even though he knew his daughter had excellent grades, he was still very nervous at this moment. The parents around him also seemed nervous. No one spoke and they all stared quietly at the school gate.
Gu Qinglang originally thought Gu Yin would be the first to come out, but when it was a little past ten o'clock, it wasn't her who came out. When the other parents asked the girl if it was difficult, and she said it wasn't, Gu Qinglang breathed a sigh of relief and joined the consultation team.
When Gu Yin came out, Gu Qinglang was chatting with other parents. When he saw her come out, he immediately waved and said goodbye to the people next to him. He turned the car around and waited for Gu Yin to get in and sit down. Without asking a single question, he immediately started the car.
When they arrived at the intersection of No. 2 Middle School Road, Gu Qinglang called Gu Qingming. Gu Hua hadn't come out yet, so the two of them waited by the roadside.
Gu Yin looked at Gu Qinglang and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to ask me how I did on the exam? I saw other parents asking as soon as they left the school."
The rain lessened, and Gu Qinglang put away the tarpaulin. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Is that even a question? Don't I know my own daughter's situation? Dad believes in you! Just like I said, do your best on the exam!"
Gu Yin nodded, then looked in the direction of No. 2 Middle School and said casually, "You did well on the test, it was very easy."
Gu Qinglang paused for a moment while patting the tarpaulin, then sped up his work, his smile never faltering, and he even hummed a tune occasionally, which showed just how good his mood was.
Gu Yin smiled and didn't say anything more.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Hua and Gu Qingming appeared in front of them.
After everyone got into the car, Gu Hua looked at Gu Yin and asked, "How does it feel?"
"It's simple, what about you?"
Gu Hua smiled and nodded: "It should be able to get over 110 points."
Gu Qingming, who was listening to their conversation, immediately smiled upon hearing this. He hadn't dared to ask any questions when Gu Hua left earlier, but now, after hearing what the two of them were saying, he felt that the situation was now quite stable!
When Gu Yin returned home, the people who were sitting under the eaves washing clothes all looked over as soon as she entered. Upon seeing them return, the old lady immediately washed her hands and stood up.
"You're all back?! Did everything go smoothly? The food is ready. Are you hungry? Shall we eat now or wait until we're hungry?" The old lady smiled at them.
The English exam in the afternoon started at 2:30, so Gu Yin wanted to take a nap during the long lunch break.
"Let's eat now, and then we'll take a nap."
Upon hearing this, the old lady went into the kitchen to serve the food. Gu Le hadn't finished school yet, so she served him some food and left it there.
After dinner, Gu Yin went to her room to rest, while Gu Hua was looking at English essays. Although her English wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as Gu Yin's. She wanted to look at the essays and templates so she could get as many points as possible, since even one point could put her ahead of thousands of other students.
Just like in my past life, the rain didn't stop when the three-day exam ended!
After the exam, Gu Yin and Gu Hua slept like logs, only waking up briefly for meals before falling asleep again.
When Gu Le got home from school, she went to check on the two of them, worried that something might have happened to them. During the three days that Gu Qingming and Gu Qinglang accompanied the students to the exam, they came back and said that another ambulance had taken a student away that day. If the two hadn't said that they were fine, the old lady would have wanted to take them to the hospital to get checked out!
“The river has risen so high that it’s impossible to cross to the town. Many students have taken leave. The river in our village has also risen above the riverbed. When I came back from dropping A-Le off at school, I saw a lot of people fishing there. I wonder if they can catch anything!” Li Mengxin said as she parked the car.
"We caught it! I just saw those young men from our village carrying back a bighead carp weighing over 30 pounds! The reservoir is full, so all the fish must have overflowed." The old lady saw it when she went out. The fish was really big, but it seemed to be dead. If it didn't smell bad, it would be edible.
Gu Yin was writing a novel on her phone inside the house when she heard the old lady's words. She immediately got up and said, "Ah Hua, let's go to the river to watch the fish being caught!"
This happened in my past life too, but I had just finished my exams then, and I didn't do very well, so I didn't want to go out. I heard it was a lot of fun back then, and almost everyone who went caught a fish.
Gu Hua loved watching excitement, so the two of them got up and, without even having breakfast, rode their bikes to the riverbank.
When we arrived at the riverbank, the bridge and both sides of the river were crowded with people.
The two parked their car and walked onto the bridge. They saw that the river, which used to be crystal clear, was now turbulent and muddy, with broken trees rushing towards it, which was frightening to look at.
"Oh my god! The water is so strong! This is terrifying! What if we fall in?!" Gu Hua pulled Gu Yin back a step, saying fearfully.
"Wow, another big fish has come down!"
"Quick, quick, grab it!"
"No way! It's too far! It's in the middle of the river, I can't reach it! Even if I could, the current is too fast! The bamboo pole will fall right away!"
"Let's go up the bridge! Let's catch fish in the middle of the bridge!"
Before Gu Yin and her companion could even see the fish, they saw everyone running towards the bridge. The two quickly left the bridge, afraid of interfering with the people catching fish.
When the two left the bridge and stood on the riverbank, they finally saw the fish they had been talking about.
The fish head was huge; it looked to weigh at least 20 or 30 pounds just from the head alone! The body of the fish was not visible because the water was too yellow and there were many branches around; only the fish head could be seen.
"Oh dear! We didn't catch any! What a waste of this fish!"
Sighs came from the bridge. Gu Yin and Gu Hua walked downstream to a flatter area and waited for a while. Sure enough, they saw the fish head pass through the bridge arch, clearly indicating that the people above could not stop it.
It started to drizzle again. Gu Yin pulled Gu Hua back: "Let's go home. It's raining. Let's come back to look at it when the rain gets a little lighter!"
Just as the two turned around, they suddenly heard a thud. Before they could react, they heard people on the bridge exclaim in surprise.
"Damn it, Li Datou, are you out of your mind?! You dared to jump into such deep water?!"
"My God, they'd risk their lives for a fish!"
"Where is he? Where is he? Can any of you see him?!"
"Even if he can swim, he can't swim!"
Gu Yin and Gu Hua turned their heads and saw a human head bobbing up and down in the river. The person seemed to be trying to get closer to the fish head, but the river was too turbulent and they couldn't keep their balance.
Many young people in the village ran downstream with bamboo poles in hand.
"Swim to the side! Don't touch that fish anymore! Are you out of your mind?!"
"Once you get past the village below, you'll never be able to come back up! It's like a precipice down there, all rock and with too many hidden currents. If you get swept in, you'll die! Hurry up and get back up!"
