Even after Su Yu entered the district, Secretary Song stood at the entrance watching, her heart pounding.
The college entrance exam is great.
When Su Lin got home in the evening, she had already prepared dinner. Because Su Yu had an exam, she even steamed eggs and made lean meat porridge for her.
Su Yu finished her meal comfortably, took a shower, and then went inside to start reviewing the political, historical, and geographical information for tomorrow's exam.
I've actually memorized most of it. I'm just casually flipping through it again to reinforce my memory.
No one in her family dared to ask her how she did on the exam.
After all, my older sister took the exam halfway through her studies, unlike others who graduated from school and took the exam directly. My sister didn't even receive a high school education, so it must have been very difficult for her.
Liu Mei had also inquired about the college entrance exam process and learned that very few students are admitted each year. Especially since too many were admitted last year, the number of admissions this year needs to be controlled, making it even more difficult than last year.
When her family found out, they became even more anxious. They felt that this was even harder for her than passing the imperial examination in the old society.
My sister is probably still studying hard in her room right now. Everyone is walking around outside cautiously, having gone back to their rooms early to avoid causing any negative impact on Su Yu.
In her room, after finishing her book, Su Yu glanced at her watch and decided not to read anymore. Reading too much at a time like this would only disrupt her memory. It was better to relax. Thinking about her date tomorrow, she started rummaging through her wardrobe, looking for clothes.
The wardrobe was brought back by someone that Secretary Gao had asked. It was made of mahogany, and a row of clothes was neatly hung inside.
Su Yu rummaged through the clothes for a while and finally found a blue dress that reached her mid-calf. She held it up against herself and hung it out with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, at the Song family home, Secretary Song returned after getting a haircut and then started washing his face with soap.
As Song's mother was setting dinner on the table, she saw her son start scrubbing his face with soap as soon as he came home. She asked in surprise, "Son, what are you doing?"
"Wash your face. I've been to the coal yard these past few days, and it's gotten so dirty."
Mr. Song was reading the newspaper when he heard this. He snorted, "It's better to be dark-skinned. What's the point of a man having such a pale face?"
Song's mother said, "Don't mention it. Neither of us is fair-skinned, so how come our son is? Anyway, my skin has never been fair. Old Song, what about you?"
Mr. Song: "...Can't you tell by looking at my face?"
"That's not necessarily true. You were already over thirty when we first met. Who knows what you looked like when you were seventeen or eighteen?"
"..."
In the restroom, Secretary Song scrubbed herself again and again, and found that although she was still white, there was still some difference compared to before.
There's nothing we can do about it; we'll have to make up for it in other ways.
He quickly went back to his room and started looking for clothes.
I tried on several shirts, but none of them felt quite right. Finally, I found a light blue short-sleeved shirt, tried it on, and felt much more presentable.
He hung up the clothes, sat down at the table, picked up the calendar and started crossing off today's dates. Then, looking at tomorrow's date, he couldn't help but write on it—"A memorable day."
He wanted to remember these days so that when he had children in the future, he could tell them stories about his youth.
He talked about him and Su Yu, about how they met...
Lost in thought, she fell asleep.
In a daze, Secretary Song felt like she was having a dream. She dreamt she had children, and she was busy chores around the house with them, while Comrade Su sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, pointing at them with her finger, "It's not clean yet! There's still trash on the floor. The table... the grease on the table isn't wiped clean. Song Dongzheng, is lunch ready? It's almost lunchtime, why isn't lunch served yet... Song Dongzheng, do you even want to eat?!"
Secretary Song woke up with a start. She heard a knock on the door, and her mother roared outside, "Dongzheng, dinner's ready! Are you going to eat or not?"
"..."
…………
The next morning, Su Yu wore a dress, tied her hair into a ponytail, and even groomed her eyebrows. She then went out looking refreshed.
"Sis, don't you want us to take you?" Su Dazhi asked unwillingly. He wanted to take his sister to the exam.
Su Yu shook her head, "No need, you don't need to worry about me today. You're all on holiday."
After that, he slung his bag over his shoulder and left.
At the entrance of the district, Secretary Song was already waiting, his hands gripping the front of the car, his palms sweating with nervousness.
Soon, he saw a familiar figure appear. His face slowly turned red.
From now on, he is a man with a partner.
Su Yu walked out of the district and was slightly taken aback when she saw the clothes on Secretary Song's clothes. Then she looked at her own clothes and realized that they were now matching couple outfits.
Of course, Secretary Song didn't know anything about matching outfits; she just thought it was a coincidence and felt happy. Then she took out the steamed buns from her lunchbox and said, "Have some steamed buns."
"..."
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Su Yu finished her steamed buns. Secretary Song then used one arm to hold up the water bottle for her. It contained brown sugar water.
After eating the steamed buns and drinking the sweet soup, we arrived at school.
Because of the established habit, Secretary Song seemed less nervous on the second occasion. "Do your best on the exam."
Su Yu carried her things and walked into the examination room.
However, this time she turned around and waved to Secretary Song, saying, "Come over early at noon and wait for me." Then she strode into the school.
Secretary Song stood outside, her eyes suddenly brightening.
