The college entrance examination, which was resumed after many years, adopted the method of filling out applications before the exam and was divided into liberal arts and science.
The examination subjects for liberal arts are Chinese, mathematics, politics and history and geography, with a total score of 400 points.
The science exam consists of Chinese, mathematics, politics, and a comprehensive physics and chemistry test, with a total score of 420. (Mathematics is 120 points, 20 of which are supplementary questions. The national science champion that year scored 408 points.)
After advance discussions between the aunt and sister-in-law, and the advice given by Xu Jianguo, they both finally chose Jingzhou University, but Wen Sitian applied for the Department of Economics, while Daya applied for the Department of Law.
Due to the influence of contemporary technology, the results of this year's college entrance examination were distributed in the form of transcripts mailed out, which was far less convenient and fast than online inquiries in later generations.
If the candidate has any objection after receiving the transcript, he or she may also go to the local admissions office with the admission ticket to apply for a review.
The second girl received her report card on a working day, and her home address was provided, so a soldier from the army's logistics department helped deliver it.
In order to ensure that there were no mistakes, the logistics soldiers carefully checked the admission tickets of Wen Sitian and Daya, and verified Du Yu's identity before handing her the envelope containing the transcript.
After returning, the soldiers from the logistics department also contacted Xu Jianguo by phone in case of any unexpected situations.
Xu Jianguo was also very happy after hearing the news, thinking that the two girls would now feel at ease.
As the announcement of the results approached, Wen Sitian and Daya became obviously anxious. Sometimes they worried that they had left the wrong address, and sometimes they worried that the mail was lost. In short, they thought of all the bad things, which made Xu Jianguo laugh and cry.
After hanging up the phone with the logistics department of the Security Bureau compound, Xu Jianguo stood up, grabbed his bag, left the office, and drove to the Ministry of Commerce, intending to pick up Wen Sitian first and then Daya.
He had to tell the two girls the good news as soon as possible, otherwise if he delayed for a few more days, she was worried that they would become nervous breakdowns.
Soon, Xu Jianguo drove to the Ministry of Commerce, picked up Wen Sitian, and then drove towards Jingzhou University with an anxious look on his face.
On the way, Wen Sitian asked several times, but Xu Jianguo did not tell her about the transcript.
He just pretended to be worried and drove with a frown on his face.
Wen Sitian had never seen her husband like this before. She thought something must have happened at home and she couldn't help but feel panicked.
She was worried that asking Xu Jianguo questions at this time would affect his driving, so she could only endure it and think about asking him after returning home.
After a while, the car drove smoothly into Jingzhou University and stopped in the open space outside the library.
After parking the car, Xu Jianguo led Wen Sitian out of the car and walked into the library. They soon found Daya in an office who was sorting book categories.
Looking at the couple who walked in from outside, Daya asked in surprise: "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Are you done with your work? There's something going on at home. Can we leave now?" Xu Jianguo said, still frowning.
But when he looked at the expressions on his aunt and sister-in-law's faces, he almost couldn't help laughing.
Daya was stunned when she heard this. After looking at the expression on her brother's face, she immediately nodded and said, "We can go. Brother, sister-in-law, wait for me for five minutes!"
"Okay, we'll wait for you outside!" After Xu Jianguo said that, he took Wen Sitian out of the library.
"Jianguo, what happened at home?" Wen Sitian finally found an opportunity and asked anxiously.
"I can't tell you now. You'll know when you get home!" Xu Jianguo shook his head and still didn't tell her about the transcript.
He knew the aunt and sister-in-law too well. If he told them now, they would definitely hug each other without hesitation on the campus and then scream. It would be strange if this did not attract onlookers.
He didn't want his two beautiful daughters to be targeted by others before they even entered school.
After waiting for a while, Daya came out of the library after packing her things.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo took them into the jeep and drove towards home.
Nearly twenty minutes later, Xu Jianguo parked the car in front of his yard.
After the three got out of the car, they returned home together.
After Wen Sitian and Daya sat down on the sofa, the two girls stared at Xu Jianguo with their big eyes without blinking, their eyes full of questioning expressions.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jianguo's originally frowned brows instantly relaxed, and a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Wen Sitian and Daya looked at Xu Jianguo's expression, which was like Sichuan Opera face-changing, and looked at each other in confusion.
Xu Jianguo ignored their expressions and turned to Du Yu who was standing by and said, "Give them the things!"
"Yes, young master!" Du Yu said, and then he took out two envelopes containing the college entrance examination transcripts from the drawer of the chest of drawers on the wall of the living room, and handed them to Wen Sitian and Daya respectively.
The two girls took the envelope in confusion and looked down.
When they saw the words "Jingzhou Xicheng District Admissions Office" written on the envelope, a look of joy immediately appeared on their faces.
Then, the two of them couldn't wait to open the envelope and take out the transcript inside.
After a moment, the two girls put down the report cards in their hands and looked at each other at the same time.
Then a scream of "Ah!" rang out, echoing throughout the living room.
Xu Jianguo, who had already prepared himself, did not react at all, as if he had guessed the result long ago.
He just rubbed his ears and looked at the two girls with a smile on his face.
After screaming, Wen Sitian and Daya also looked at him.
However, Xu Jianguo showed a smirk as if his conspiracy had succeeded, Wen Sitian was gritting her teeth, and Daya was covering her mouth and laughing, looking like she was waiting to see a good show.
However, before Wen Sitian could deal with Xu Jianguo, the loud crying of little Xu Pingan was heard from upstairs.
Xu Ping'an had just been coaxed to sleep by Xu Xiaoshi for a while when a sudden scream from downstairs scared the little guy.
When Xu Ping'an woke up, he first opened his big eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoshi who was patting him gently. Then his little mouth pursed, and tears as big as beans burst out of his eyes. He burst into tears with a wow sound.
In the living room downstairs, Wen Sitian, who was about to deal with Xu Jianguo, immediately panicked when she heard her son crying.
After glaring at Xu Jianguo fiercely, he stood up and walked quickly upstairs. Seeing this, Daya hurriedly followed him.
Xu Jianguo touched his nose, curled his lips helplessly, stood up, told Du Yu that they would have lunch at home, and then went upstairs.
