The two days of the college entrance examination are probably the most lively and important days in Ruxu County, except for the Spring Festival and National Day.

However, no matter how busy the day was, there was no ripple in Gong Jinkang's heart. If it were in the past, he would happily roll around at home, but today he would not, because today was the day he was about to go to the examination hall.

Originally, in order to let their son have a good rest at night, Gong's father and mother deliberately let Gong Jinkang go to bed at 9:30 in the evening.

In order to let Gong Jinkang sleep well without any psychological burden, Gong's father and mother specifically told Gong Jinkang not to worry, and that they would wake him up on time and would not let him oversleep or be late for the examination.

This is what Gong Jinkang's parents said to Gong Jinkang, and this is what they did.

Mr. and Mrs. Gong got up before six in the morning. No matter whether they were getting dressed or doing anything else, they were always very careful. In order not to wake up Gong Jinkang who was still sleeping, they even didn't wash up for the time being and just waited for Gong Jinkang to get up before washing up.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Gong had good intentions and did good things, Gong Jinkang still slept until he woke up naturally before his mother called him to get up.

"Why are you up at seven? Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Gong's father was drinking tea and watching TV in the living room when he saw Gong Jinkang walking out of the room yawning. He was so scared that his hands started shaking and he couldn't even keep his hand holding the teacup steady. Some tea spilled and wet his pants a little.

"I slept long enough, so I woke up naturally! I couldn't fall asleep anyway, so I got up!" Gong Jinkang stretched as he walked to the bathroom, "Where's my mom? She's not at home?"

"Your mother went out to buy groceries, and she'll buy you breakfast as well." Father Gong answered his son's question while wiping the water stains on his body with a rag.

There was a sound of water splashing in the bathroom, followed by the sound of washing.

After a while, Gong Jinkang's voice came from the bathroom, "We didn't cook this morning? Why did my mother suddenly go out to buy breakfast?"

Just as Mr. Gong was about to explain, he heard a noise coming from the door.

'Click'

There was a gentle sound of a door opening, and then Father Gong saw Mother Gong carefully opening the door of the house.

Gong's mother, whose hands were full of bags, had just tiptoed into the house when she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom and Gong's father staring at her in the living room.

"Is that Jin Kang in the bathroom?" Gong's mother asked in a low voice to Gong's father in the living room.

Father Gong nodded and signaled to Mother Gong, you guessed right, the person in the bathroom is our eldest son.

"Mom, you're back?" Just after putting down the dishes, Gong's mother heard the voice of her son Gong Jinkang. She raised her head and saw Gong Jinkang standing in front of her.

"Why did you get up so early?" Gong's mother asked the same question as her husband, but as soon as she asked the question, Gong's mother said with a hint of blame,

"Why not just lie in bed a little longer? I got up so early. What if I don't have energy during the exam? It will affect my performance in the college entrance exam!"

Without waiting for Gong Jinkang to speak, Gong's father stopped them from talking any further.

Father Gong glared at Mother Gong and said, "Why are you talking so much? Isn't this affecting the child's spirit?"

Mother Gong also reacted, feeling somewhat remorseful and annoyed, and quickly changed the subject, taking the breakfast in her hand to the dining table, "Jin Kang, come here quickly, Mom bought you breakfast outside, Zhuangyuan Jidi Congee!"

"This top scholar porridge is something new! I heard that it was what an unknown high-ranking official in ancient Lingnan ate before he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar!"

"This top scholar porridge is nutritious. I heard from the store owner that it contains pork liver, pork kidney, pork stomach, and bean curd. It tastes good and is nutritious! And the meaning is good too! Passing the imperial examination, top scholar! Listen, listen, how auspicious this is!"

"Drink this top scholar porridge. Jin Kang, you will definitely be able to get into a good university like the top scholar in the college entrance examination!!!"

Although Gong Jinkang wanted to laugh at his mother's superstition, he couldn't laugh when he thought that this was the only thing his mother did for him on the day of the exam.

So, under his mother's expectant gaze, Gong Jinkang came to the dining table and drank the bowl of the still steaming hot top scholar porridge.

"Drink slowly, drink slowly, be careful not to burn yourself!" Gong's mother carefully admonished her son, while nagging Gong Jinkang about the things he had heard countless times to pay attention to when taking exams. "When you leave later, ask your dad to take you there."

"Remember not to panic or get confused! Check your ID card, admission ticket, pens, and other necessary items for the exam! Don't forget anything!"

"Haven't you seen on the news? Every year there are students who can't enter the examination hall because they forget their admission tickets or ID cards. These parents don't know how to pay attention to this. They don't help to keep an eye on these important matters of their children."

"I understand, Mom!" Gong Jinkang nodded, and while listening to his mother's words, he drank the last mouthful of porridge.

"Okay, okay, the top scholar porridge is finished. My son will definitely get the top scorer this time!"

After seeing Gong Jinkang drink the last mouthful of porridge, Gong's mother clapped her hands happily, as if this was a ritual that would come true as long as she did it.

Gong's father, who usually looked down on Gong's mother's behavior, turned a blind eye to her behavior this time, as if he didn't notice anything.

After Mother Gong finished speaking, Father Gong continued, "Your mother did this to bring you good luck, but Dad knows that with your current ability, even if you didn't drink this top scholar porridge, you can still pass the exam and become the top scholar!"

Gong Jinkang nodded vigorously.

"Go ahead and take a rest. Dad will take you to the examination room later!" Father Gong looked at his son tenderly and nodded vigorously. "Next, it's your stage. I hope you can give your parents a surprise in this exam just like you did last year!"
