Those who came to register were not only educated youth, but also other people from the village, even some older people. Everyone was very happy, and some people were reading books in their hands while queuing, which gave everyone an invisible pressure.
Jiang Yinqiu looked at the laughter and said to Su Xinmu, "It's a good thing I reviewed with you in advance, otherwise I would be so panicked now."
Su Xinmi teased her, "Aren't you panicking now?"
Jiang Yinqiu smiled a little proudly, and stood on tiptoe to hold Su Xinmi's shoulders. She found that Su Xinmi had grown taller again, and she could only tiptoe. "Isn't it because we have our teacher Su to urge us every day?"
"How can someone trained by a devilish teacher have the qualifications to lie?"
Su Xinmu laughed out loud. She had indeed been keeping a close eye on them during that period, because every time she went to her grandmother's place, her grandmother would test her until her brain became big. When she came back, Su Xinmu would use the useful information to test Ji Wei and Jiang Yinqiu.
She imitated her grandmother's behavior perfectly, and both of them thought she was crazy.
After they registered, they saw Ji Wei hurried in. Su Xinmi wondered if this person would be late for an exam in the future.
This is the only exam held in winter, and everyone takes it very seriously.
After October, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Su Xin misses her family.
She has seen her brother and grandma, and she doesn't know how her parents are doing, but she thinks they will be fine.
Her parents recently wrote to her saying that they were doing well and asked her to study hard for the exam. Even her cousin came to urge her.
November, December, and a few days before the exams.
It was snowing heavily outside. Ji Wei, Jiang Yinqiu, and even Xue Hao were all in Su Xinmo's small house.
Xue Hao came secretly at night. It was not the first time that Ji Wei and Jiang Yinqiu met Xue Hao, because Xue Hao sold the review materials very quickly before. So he rode a bicycle to find Su Xin in the middle of the night.
From the looks in Ji Wei and Jiang Yinqiu's eyes at that time, I thought they were dating.
They had just been reviewing in Su Xinmi's room when they saw Xue Hao shivering from the cold.
Xue Hao sniffed his nose, his voice trembling, "Su Xinmi, I have good news for you."
Su Xinmu made the charcoal fire in the house burn more vigorously, "Okay, stop talking, drink some hot water to warm yourself up first, don't die in front of me."
That's how we got to know each other.
Ji Wei had drunk a little too much at this moment. Usually it was the girls who were around, and he was not good at drinking. Now that Xue Hao came, the two of them were still competing to see who could drink better.
"Let me tell you, Xue Hao, when you first came here, it was a wolf. I thought it was a homeless person who came here to ask for something to eat."
Xue Hao's face was a little red from drinking. "Don't tell me, when I was a peddler, I walked around the streets, all over the place, and I was dirty and smelly. I would knock on people's doors, and before I could even say anything, they would say, 'Don't come to my house to beg for food, I don't have any.'"
"Those who know my identity always tell me to stay ten feet away from their homes when exchanging things. Just put the things on the ground and don't let them get stinky. Hahahaha."
Su Xinmi knew that this man had experienced hardships. The life of a peddler was indeed very hard. At the beginning, the peddler's hometown was rich in sugarcane, but their land was barren and could only produce sugarcane. After they made sugar, they began to exchange it for other things, but they didn't dare to buy it for fear of being arrested for speculation.
When people are pushed to the extreme, they always want to find a way to make a living. Just like this, a few peddlers carried their shoulder poles and walked a long and long way. After they had some gains, some people slowly started to try.
That’s how the number of peddlers began to increase.
Xue Hao: "You must do well in the exam, and then we will celebrate."
"You don't know how popular this review material was. Everyone was scrambling to get it. I was running in front and they were chasing me from behind."
"But, Ji Wei, your handwriting is too ugly. Every time my mother goes shopping, only your handwriting is left. Those who really want to buy it will tell me to write better next time."
"I really have no words to say. My handwriting is better than yours. At least it stands up. Yours is a dog's crawling handwriting."
Ji Wei's handwriting has never been pretty since he was a child. He laughed and said, "You are not allowed to say that my handwriting is ugly. Your handwriting must be the ugliest, isn't it Su Xinmu?"
Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu also drank a little, but not as much as they did. The two leaned on each other's shoulders and said, "Xue Hao's handwriting is indeed much more beautiful than yours."
Ji Wei was holding the bottle and crying, "Jiang Yinqiu, my handwriting is not ugly, you can still understand it."
Jiang Yinqiu continued to stab him, "That's because I'm used to your stupid handwriting."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Several people drank a little wine, so they naturally spoke more freely, and each expressed their feelings towards each other.
Xue Hao was still sighing, "What will I do when you all go to school?"
Now that the policy has been relaxed, Xue Hao has been looking forward to it, but many people are acting timidly, which makes him feel confused.
Su Xinmu patted his shoulder and said, "What are you worried about, you money-grubber? Follow your sister Su in the future and I guarantee you will have a good life."
Xue Hao also toasted Su Xinmu with a glass of wine, "Okay, from now on I will follow Sister Su Xiang's lead."
In fact, Xue Hao is much older than Su Xinmao, but it can be said that since he started making money with Su Xinmao, he has decided to work with Su Xinmao.
Several people drank until very late tonight, and Xue Hao was not in a hurry to leave. He could sleep with Ji Wei, as long as he didn't let the villagers see him when he left tomorrow.
And ever since Jiang Yinqiu had a fight with some people in the Youth League Institute last time, she rarely stayed there to study.
But she still had to go back because she said she was unhappy with the group of people guarding the door, and she was also very unhappy with the group of people guarding the door.
Tonight, Su Xinmi saw that she drank a little too much and was afraid that she might encounter some danger, so she let her sleep with her.
She wasn't in urgent need of space and wasn't busy with anything, so the two of them slept together tonight.
In December, the day of the college entrance examination soon arrived. Su Xinmi asked them to take the exam in the commune, where there were examination sites everywhere. They were closer to the examination site here, which was more convenient.
When they arrived at the examination room, they met Xue Hao again. This man said that night that he would not come to see the examinee off early in the morning, but today he came anyway and waved to a few people looking at Su Xin.
There are many people taking the exam today, and their ages are different. Some of them look to be in their thirties.
Su Xinmu saw an older man say to a younger man, "I can even give birth to you and test you."
There was also a group of children who shouted in childish voices: "Good luck on your college entrance exam, Dad. I wish Dad could get into college."
I also saw some children, about thirteen or fourteen years old, entering the examination room with pens in their hands.
