Finally, the day of the college entrance examination arrived.
Before dawn, the educated youth in the village and the villagers preparing to take the college entrance examination set out early.
The village specially prepared two ox carts for them, as well as the tractor usually used to transport supplies, just to get them to the examination venue safely.
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang had bicycles, so they decided to go there on their own.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were still asleep when Zhou Ziwen gently picked them up and sent them to Wu Dagang's house.
Aunt Chen had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw the two children, she hurried over with a kind smile on her face.
"Don't worry, Ziwen, leave these two children to me, and you can go to the exam with peace of mind."
Aunt Chen took the child while speaking.
Zhou Ziwen looked at Aunt Chen gratefully and said, "Auntie, thank you for your help. Please wait for us to come back."
The first rays of sunlight in the early morning had not yet completely penetrated the darkness, and there was a hint of coolness in the air.
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang rode their bicycles along the winding country road.
Zhou Ziwen brought the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi, while Zhou Chaoyang brought Tang Yaoyao.
The wheels bumped on the bumpy road, making a rhythmic sound.
Their figures are looming in the hazy morning mist, like warriors chasing hope.
Along the way, they were both nervous and excited.
They are nervous because this exam concerns their future destiny and it is a test of their years of hard study; the excitement comes from their longing for the future and their firm belief that knowledge can change their destiny.
Zhou Chaoyang occasionally sped up, seemingly trying to release his inner tension, muttering, "I hope this exam goes well. I can't let all these years of hard work go to waste."
Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle briskly without any worries.
For these courses that required exams, he had already reached the maximum level by AFK.
He even learned many foreign languages.
Except for some less common languages, he has finished hanging up.
With his current level, he can definitely be called a global expert.
The Chen sisters sat on the back of the bicycle, holding Zhou Ziwen's clothes tightly with both hands, their eyes looking at the road ahead, their hearts full of anticipation for the exam.
Chen Qiaoyi said softly, "Brother Ziwen, I'm still a little nervous. I don't know what kind of questions will be on this exam."
Zhou Ziwen turned his head slightly and said with a soothing smile, "Don't worry, Qiaoyi. You study so hard, there will be no problem. Just perform to your best."
Chen Shiying also nodded and said, "Yes, we all believe in you. Brother Ziwen, you are like our anchor. With you around, we feel much more at ease."
Shen Zhaodi said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? We'll fight back if the enemy comes, and we'll block the water if the water comes. We'll definitely pass the exam if we work so hard!"
Zhou Chaoyang walked beside him with Tang Yaoyao. Tang Yaoyao's face was flushed with excitement. She looked at Zhou Chaoyang and said, "Brother Chaoyang, what do you think our future life will be like if we all get into university?"
Zhou Chaoyang smiled and replied, "That's definitely full of hope. We can learn more knowledge and see a wider world. Maybe we can even make greater contributions to our country!"
As we got closer to the examination venue, the number of candidates on the road gradually increased.
We are all heading in the same direction, which is the road to our dreams.
When they arrived at the school where the examination was held, many candidates had already gathered at the campus gate.
Everyone's face was filled with either nervousness or anticipation, and their eyes revealed the importance they attached to this exam.
Zhou Ziwen and his friends pushed their bicycles through the crowd and arrived at the designated examination classroom.
There was an oppressive silence in the classroom, with only the gentle breathing of the examinees and the sounds of desks and chairs being moved.
They found their seats and sat down.
Zhou Ziwen took a deep breath and began to organize his examination supplies. His movements were steady and confident.
The Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi looked at each other and secretly encouraged themselves.
Zhou Chaoyang and Tang Yaoyao were sitting not far away, and they cast encouraging glances towards Zhou Ziwen.
With the ringing of a crisp bell, the exam officially began.
Zhou Ziwen opened the test paper, quickly scanned the questions, and was secretly delighted.
These questions are like familiar old friends to him.
He picked up the pen and began to write furiously, his thoughts flowing through his mind like flowing water, applying all the knowledge he had learned to the test paper one by one.
He answered the questions very quickly, his handwriting was neat and clear, and every answer was full of confidence.
The Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi also gradually got into the state. They thought carefully about each question, and their pens kept writing on the test paper.
Chen Qiaoyi frowned, as if she had encountered a difficult problem, but she quickly adjusted her thinking and continued to answer.
Chen Shiying seemed particularly focused, her eyes firm, as if the whole world was only the test paper in front of her.
Chen Zhaodi bit her lip and scratched her head occasionally. Her serious look made people laugh.
Zhou Chaoyang and Tang Yaoyao were on the other side of the examination room, also answering the questions with all their might.
Zhou Chaoyang's forehead was slightly sweaty, his expression was serious, and he held the pen tightly in his hand, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
Tang Yaoyao's small mouth was tightly closed, and her eyes were fixed on the test paper. Her focused expression seemed to say, "I must get good grades."
Time passed quietly during the tense process of answering questions. Every question was like a mountain to be climbed, and the candidates gave their all.
The only sound in the examination room was the friction between the pen tip and the test paper, and that sound seemed to be the music of dreams.
In fact, this year is the first year that the college entrance examination was resumed. The test questions are not difficult. As long as you have not forgotten the high school knowledge, you can basically pass the exam.
Of course, if you want to get into a good school, you still need good grades.
Zhou Ziwen, the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang, and Tang Yaoyao all aim to be admitted to universities in Beijing, especially famous ones. They are eager to continue their studies in higher academic institutions, lay a solid foundation for their future, and contribute more to the development of the country.
The two-day exam schedule was tight and fulfilling. After each exam, they would get together to briefly exchange their feelings about answering the questions, but they would not discuss the answers in depth so as not to affect each other's mentality for the subsequent exam.
When the bell for the last exam rang, the candidates put down their pens one after another. Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others looked solemn, as if worried about their performance.
Zhou Ziwen and the others walked out of the examination room with confident smiles on their faces. They looked at each other and saw expectations for the future in each other's eyes.
While waiting for the results to be announced, they continued to live their lives in the village as usual. (End of this chapter)
