After the housewarming party, Shen Qingqing started her routine of getting up early every morning to play badminton with Chen Man, then waking up Shen Yangyang to do her test papers, and then reviewing the test papers with her.
The day for the admission results of the Experimental Middle School was fast approaching.
Shen Qingqing has developed a habit of waking up at seven o'clock in the morning. As soon as she wakes up, Chen Man gets up with her.
Chen Man went to another bathroom to wash up, while Shen Qingqing went into her parents' master bedroom.
Li Xunli also got up at this time, while Shen Rongzhou got up even earlier because his commute to work was farther away.
While her mother finished brushing her teeth and went to wash her face, Shen Qingqing quickly took over the brushing position and began to brush her teeth carefully in front of the mirror.
After washing her face, Li Xunli asked, "Is today the day the lab results are released? What time are they released?"
"Yes, nine or ten o'clock, I guess." Shen Qingqing gargled and simply washed her face with water.
She's not old enough to use face wash yet; her face is still so soft and delicate.
"Why don't you call the academic affairs office of the lab yourself to check?" Li Xunli poured the water from the basin into the toilet.
Shen Qingqing took the Dabao lotion and lightly applied a layer to herself: "We'll see. If it's ten o'clock and my aunt hasn't called yet, I'll call her myself to ask."
Seeing that she had her own plan, Li Xunli didn't say anything more: "Then remember to tell your mother when there are results. Your father bought groceries this morning and came back. Your mother won't be home for lunch."
Shen Qingqing made an "OK" sign in a pretentious manner and swayed her body playfully as she left the master bedroom.
Chen Man was already waiting in the living room with her badminton racket, but her expression was tense.
As Shen Qingqing poured herself some water, she was amused by Manman's expression: "Manman, what's wrong? Why are you making that face?"
"Isn't today the day you get your results? I'm a little nervous." Chen Man puffed out her cheeks.
Shen Qingqing poured her half a glass of water: "Why are you so nervous about my results? Don't you believe in my abilities?"
Chen Man took it and pouted, "No, didn't I call my parents a couple of days ago? My mom said that the experimental school doesn't admit students based on scores, but on rankings."
"Rankings are based on scores, so as long as I get a high enough score, why should I worry about my ranking?" Shen Qingqing smiled confidently, raising her eyebrows.
Chen Man slowly finished the half-glass of water, then belatedly said, "That's true!"
As usual, the two played badminton for forty minutes, both working up a good sweat, their faces flushed, and then they each took a refreshing shower.
While drying her hair, Shen Qingqing went to Shen Yangyang's room to call for someone.
As Chen Man came out of the bathroom, she heard wails coming from Shen Yangyang's room.
"Stop pretending, get up quickly. Breakfast is steamed buns and black soybean milk, it will get cold if you're late."
Shen Qingqing's voice came closer from afar.
Chen Man came out of the kitchen carrying a small plate of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and saw Shen Qingqing skipping and hopping into the dining room.
"Hey, is it xiaolongbao today? When I woke up this morning, I saw my dad eating char siu bao, so I thought we were all eating the latter." Shen Qingqing really liked xiaolongbao, happily eating them one after another.
Shen Yangyang was no exception. As soon as she heard Shen Qingqing say there were xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), she got up immediately, even though she was still lazing in bed.
By the time she finally started working on the test, it was almost ten o'clock.
The phone at home remained quiet.
Shen Qingqing was reading a copy of La Dame aux Camélias while watching Shen Yangyang do her test paper, while Chen Man was scratching her head and looking at her as she did her summer homework.
"Qingqing, aren't you going to call and ask?"
Shen Qingqing glanced at Shen Yangyang, who suddenly turned her head away to daydream: "Focus on the test paper. If you dare to turn your head around and look around during the exam, you'll be in trouble if the teacher calls on you."
Shen Yangyang shrank her neck and immediately turned her head back to write the test paper obediently.
Then Shen Qingqing slowly replied to Chen Man: "No rush, it's not going to run away."
"Even if I don't get into Experimental Middle School, I can still go to Red Star Middle School, right? My score for the junior high entrance exam is already high enough."
Chen Man opened her mouth, then mumbled, "But you actually want to go to Experimental Middle School..."
Shen Qingqing heard her muttering, smiled, and was about to speak when the telephone in the living room rang urgently.
Chen Man's eyes lit up: "Did they come to tell you you got accepted?!"
"Hurry, hurry, let's go!"
Chen Man couldn't sit still any longer and pushed Shen Qingqing out.
Shen Yangyang immediately put down her pen and followed behind them.
"Answer it quickly!"
Chen Man was anxious; when she actually got to the phone, she was the one who didn't dare to answer it, urging Shen Qingqing to answer the phone quickly.
Shen Qingqing chuckled as she picked up the phone receiver: "Hello?
"Qingqing? This is Jinjin. You've been accepted into the experimental program! You ranked first in the total score across all three subjects!"
Hearing the expected answer, Shen Qingqing looked at Chen Man with delight, thanking her aunt as she said, "Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Auntie!"
"Registration for the next semester is at the end of August. I'll come to your house to pick you up then. I'll call you when I'm almost there, and you can come downstairs."
"Okay, Auntie, I understand."
After saying a few more words in a cheerful tone, my aunt hung up the phone.
As soon as Shen Qingqing hung up the phone, Chen Man pounced on her.
"That's wonderful! Qingqing! You've been accepted!"
