Chapter 81 College Entrance Examination
At night, Li Xu and Li Miao took Ji Yuanyuan to sleep in the west room, while the old couple Li Zhiming took the two brothers Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang to sleep in the east room.
Li Xu's hand gently patted Ji Yuanyuan's back. After realizing that her daughter had fallen asleep, she spoke softly, "Don't take today's events to heart. Study hard for the exam the day after tomorrow. Don't be nervous, okay?"
Li Miao responded softly: "I understand, sister."
The next afternoon, Li Xu also returned to the city with her children. Li Miao took a bus back to school to prepare for the next day's exam.
Li Miao was the first child in the family to take the college entrance examination. Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua attached great importance to it, so on the day of the college entrance examination, they took a bus to the city early in the morning and waited outside the examination room.
Li Xu cooked a few dishes at noon. After giving some to the three children, he put the rest into the lunch boxes and rode his tricycle to the examination room.
The three children have always been very well behaved, so Li Xu is not worried. She is just a little worried about Li Miao.
In order not to cause psychological pressure on Li Miao, I have never mentioned the issue of grades in front of her in the past few months.
I don’t know how she is reviewing, or whether she will be nervous during the exam.
It was July and the weather was very hot. When Li Xu arrived at the examination room, he was already sweating profusely.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua stood at the door, looking inside.
The sun is very strong today. People standing in the sun feel a little dizzy, but the two of them can do something about it.
One person took a fertilizer bag, folded it into a triangle, and wore it on his head like a hat to block the sun.
Li Xu said with some amusement: "Dad and Mom, you just stay under the shade of the tree and wait for Miaomiao to come out, then you can come over. Why are you suffering like this?"
There were other parents at the door, but they were all hiding in the shade of the trees. Only the two of them were standing there stupidly.
Li Zhiming held the pipe in his hand, put it in his mouth and took a deep puff before saying, "I can't sit still. Get up and walk around. I'll feel better."
After a pause, Li Zhiming continued: "If Miaomiao can be admitted to university, she will be the first college student in our village."
There was pride in that tone.
Their village was originally small, with only a few households. Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, there has not been a single college student in the village.
Li Xu put down the lunch box in her hand and said, "I only brought food for Miaomiao. I'll chat with her later. You guys come home with me to eat and take a rest. I'll come with you in the afternoon."
Li Zhiming nodded: "Okay."
After waiting for a while, there was movement inside. Students taking the college entrance examination walked out one after another.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua quickly took off the fertilizer bags on their heads, fearing that they would be embarrassed if Li Miao's classmates saw them.
When Li Miao returned home, he said that most of his classmates were from cities and only a few were from rural areas.
After looking around for a while, Liu Guihua was the first to see Li Miao: "Miaomiao, here..."
Li Xu looked over and found that Li Miao looked relaxed, and it seemed that he must have done well in the exam.
Li Xu's heart, which had been in a state of anxiety all the way, finally came to fruition.
Li Miao came over quickly, and Li Xu quickly handed her the lunch box: "Take it back and eat it. Have a good rest at noon. I'll come over in the evening."
The college entrance examination is a big event, and teachers are afraid that students will fail, so they act together during these days and do not allow students to act alone.
After the exam, candidates must gather at the gate and be led by the teacher back to a nearby hotel to rest.
Li Miao's school is far from the examination hall, so the school booked a hotel nearby for them to rest at noon and at night. The meals are also fixed, but many parents want their children to eat better and come to deliver meals.
Li Miao came out early, and there were still many students in the class who had not come out, so he was able to say a few more words.
"Dad, Mom, and sister, I'll just eat with my classmates. It's so hot now, you don't have to suffer with me." Li Miao said with some heartache as he looked at the sweat on the three's faces.
Li Zhiming waved his hand and said, "Your mother and I have been working in the fields a lot in the hot summer. Now we are just standing for a while. We won't be tired."
Li Xu also said: "Don't worry, I will take my parents home to rest later. When the sun is not so strong in the afternoon, I will bring them here."
Li Miao knew that he couldn't persuade his parents, so he had to tell Li Xu: "When you are free in the evening, make some mung bean water for your parents. Don't let them get heatstroke."
Li Xu nodded, "Don't worry about these things, just have a good rest at noon."
Before Li Miao could say anything else, the teacher over there had already called for assembly.
She said quickly: "I'm going to gather, you guys go back quickly."
Having said that, he carried his lunch box to the gathering place, and was then taken by the teacher to the booked hotel to rest.
After Li Miao disappeared, Li Xu called out to Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua: "Dad, Mom, let's go too."
The examination room was not far from Li Miao's house. Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were afraid of tiring Li Xu, so they did not dare to get in the car and followed Li Xu all the way back home.
The three of them stayed at home for a while, and it was almost time to go to school. Ji Yuanyuan was awakened by the sound of the door opening, climbed out of bed, and began to slowly put on her clothes.
While putting it on, I was still worried.
The weather is so hot, and I don’t know if there are electric fans in the examination room.
July is the hottest month of the year, and it must be very uncomfortable to take exams at this time. Ji Yuanyuan felt sorry for Li Miao, but was glad that she would not have to take the college entrance examination under such a scorching sun in the future.
Before 2002, the college entrance examination was held in early July. After 2002, it became early June.
What's more, when Ji Yuanyuan takes the college entrance examination, there will definitely be air conditioning in the classroom, or at least electric fans, which will be better than now.
After getting dressed, Ji Yuanyuan walked out of the bedroom. Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang had already come out, and Li Xu was talking to them while cooking in the kitchen.
"Have the results come out? Did the teacher say when the holiday will start and when school will resume?"
Ji Ziang yawned, obviously he didn't get enough sleep. Ji Zixuan answered Li Xu's words seriously: "The results haven't come out yet. The teacher said it will be out in the afternoon. The teacher didn't say anything about the holiday."
Li Xu said, "Okay, hurry up and go to school. I may not be home tonight, but I will prepare dinner. You three should do your homework after dinner. Don't run around, understand?"
The three little ones answered in unison: "Got it, Mom."
After answering Li Xu's questions, he said hello to his grandparents and then went to school.
The exams are over and the teachers are busy grading papers, sorting grades and filling out certificates. They have no time to take care of the children.
So during the first class in the afternoon, all the classrooms were in a mess.
The classroom was in chaos with all kinds of chatter and people were doing all kinds of things.
In the second class, the teacher came in with the certificate.
The teacher sat down on the stool and began to read out the grades.
