The autumn leaves have fallen and winter has arrived.
The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.
The college entrance examination is on December 10th and 11th. I also need to take an English test and another test on the 12th.
Linglong has received her admission ticket. She takes it out and looks at it every day, for fear of losing it.
The army has also issued a notice that during the college entrance examination, they will arrange vehicles to take candidates into the city to take the exam.
But Linglong didn't want to ride on the army's vehicle anymore.
If the first exam starts at 9 o'clock in the morning, it will take too long to travel from the army to take the exam.
In order to be in the best condition for the college entrance examination, she planned to move to the city in advance.
When there were still a few days before the exam, Zheng Tiansen accompanied her into the city.
They first went to the gate of the school where she was going to take the exam, and then they went to find the nearest guesthouse.
Luckily, they mentioned it a few days ago and there were still rooms available.
The staff told them that there were quite a few people who came here to book rooms for the college entrance examination.
After hearing this, they didn't choose anymore and quickly paid for and booked a room.
The exam started on the 10th, but they started booking on the 8th.
On the 9th, Linglong No. 8 will go into the city to check on the examination hall, so No. 9 can have a relatively leisurely day off.
On the way back after booking a room, Linglong seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times when she saw Zheng Tiansen driving.
In the end, she finally gave Zheng Tiansen a definite answer.
"Tiansen, let's talk after I finish the college entrance examination."
Originally, she was thinking of waiting until the college entrance examination results came out before discussing their relationship.
But seeing that Zheng Tiansen didn't ask anything, didn't object to anything, and silently did so much for her, she felt that she should have talked to him earlier.
"Okay, just concentrate on the exam first." He felt much better.
He thought he would have to wait a long time, or even never get to wait, but now it seems he only needs to wait a few more days.
After returning, Zheng Tiansen went to discuss with Aunt Tong.
Linglong went into the city on the 8th and finished the exam on the afternoon of the 11th.
Zheng Tiansen wanted to accompany him throughout the exam, but that was definitely not possible because he had work to do in the army.
But he was worried about Linglong staying alone in the city guesthouse for three days. After thinking it over, he had no choice but to ask Aunt Tong to go with Linglong.
Aunt Tong didn't feel embarrassed at all and agreed readily.
I'm a little worried about what to do with Congcong. "Linglong has an exam, and I need to go to the city too. Who will look after Congcong?"
"I'll watch him at night and send him to daycare during the day. It's only for a few days. Once Linglong finishes her exams, you'll be back. I don't think there's any problem."
"That's all we can do."
Because Congcong was going to be sent to nursery, Zheng Tiansen had a good talk with Congcong.
Fortunately, during this period, Congcong already knew that his mother was studying for a very important exam.
Although I felt a little aggrieved, I agreed.
It would be best if he agreed. Zheng Tiansen and Linglong didn't want him to go to the nursery crying.
On the morning of the 8th, Linglong personally sent Congcong to the nursery.
Only after seeing Congcong being led in by the teacher in charge did she feel reluctant to leave.
She didn't enter the city until the afternoon, and she went to the cafeteria again.
Knowing that she would be going into the city the next day, everyone sent their blessings.
"Linglong, don't worry, just do your best on the exam. If you pass, you'll bring honor to our cafeteria."
"Master, this is for you. It's a talisman my grandma gave me." Xiao Fang gave the gift.
Linglong smiled but didn't accept it. "Master, I appreciate your kindness. This thing was given to you by your grandmother, so you should keep it well."
Even the quartermaster said a few words of encouragement to her.
In the afternoon, Zheng Tiansen personally drove her and Aunt Tong into the city.
On the way, Aunt Tong and Linglong talked about the topic of the college entrance examination.
"Linglong, I used to see you always reading and thought you just loved studying. I never thought you could even take the college entrance examination. In the past, that would have meant taking the imperial examination to become a Jinshi."
Linglong was a little embarrassed. "Auntie, it's much harder to get into the Jinshi exam. It's held three times a day, and only a few hundred people are accepted each time. I'm not even as good as the scholars they used to be." After all, she was just a reference.
Even if I pass the exam, I guess the value of my results won’t be as high as those of the scholars in the past.
"Anyway, you're a grown-up. By the way, you're going to take the exam. If you pass, do you have to go to college?"
"If I pass the exam, I guess so."
"Ah, then, what should we do with Tiansen and Congcong?" Aunt Tong had never thought deeply about these things before, and now she immediately panicked.
Before Linglong could answer, Zheng Tiansen in front of her had already stopped the topic.
"Auntie, let's wait until Linglong finishes her exams before we discuss this. Let her focus on the exam first."
"Oh, yes, look at me. You should take the exam well first."
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking about this topic, but she also felt heavier in her heart, as she always felt that she owed Zheng Tiansen a lot.
Afterwards, Aunt Tong also tried to talk about some lighter topics.
After entering the city, Zheng Tiansen took them to the guesthouse and only drove away after seeing that they were settled.
Before leaving, he whispered a few words of advice to Aunt Tong, who nodded repeatedly.
After Zheng Tiansen left, Aunt Tong began to feel emotional.
"Linglong, Tiansen is really good to you, you must cherish him."
She tried hard not to talk about Linglong's college entrance examination experience, but she couldn't help but hint at it.
"Auntie, I know."
Of course she knew how good he was.
It was because he was so nice that she didn't dare to chat with him easily.
She was afraid that they would have disagreements.
She was afraid that their finally settled relationship would be in turmoil.
This was also the main reason why she kept silent about this matter before the college entrance examination.
Zheng Tiansen didn't chase her for an answer because he knew all this.
That night, Linglong slept in the guesthouse.
Maybe it was because she had changed places, or maybe it was because that person was no longer around, she tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
Zheng Tiansen took Congcong to wash and brush his teeth alone, and then coaxed him to sleep.
Wait until he returns to the bedroom and lies down.
Looking at the empty seat beside him, he already began to miss her.
Linglong, no matter what, I will never give up on you.
On this day, many candidates also set off.
There are many educated young people living in the countryside who have to go to the city to take exams.
It’s far away and it takes a lot of time to get there.
Considering that they also had to look at the examination venue, some people set off two days in advance.
Not everyone would book a room in a guesthouse near the examination center like Linglong did.
Many people even have to provide for their own meals during the exam days, as they are reluctant to spend money on state-owned restaurants.
Carrying a few days' worth of dry food on their backs and hanging a canteen filled with water, they could find another place to refill their drink. They traveled long distances and endured the hardships for the ray of light that represented the future.
In fact, Linglong also brought some steamed buns and pickles when she went into the city.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to spend money on state-owned restaurants, but she was afraid that when it came time for dinner, the state-owned restaurants would be too crowded and she wouldn't be able to eat, so she made some preparations in advance.
The next day, apart from visiting the examination room and going out for dinner, she and Aunt Tong did not go anywhere and just rested in the guesthouse.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the exam to begin.
