Chapter 82 The College Entrance Examination is Over
When the bell for the end of the last exam rang slowly, announcing the end of the smokeless battle of the college entrance examination, the haze that had accumulated in Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao's hearts for many days gradually dissipated with the crisp sound.
These days, they seemed to be in a tense rally, with every minute and every second filled with heavy pressure.
Jiang Ruoxi worked late into the night every day, and the dense notes on her books bore witness to her efforts; Lu Tingxiao accompanied her silently, handed her warm milk, and gently reminded her to take a rest, his eyes full of heartache and concern. Now, their tense nerves were finally relaxed, as if they had completed a difficult journey and finally arrived at a temporary rest station.
Jiang Ruoxi was filled with joy and couldn't wait to run home to hug the three lovely little babies. During the days since they were separated, the children's every smile and frown kept appearing in her mind.
She thought about holding her babies tightly in her arms, listening to their soft voices, kissing their rosy cheeks, and making up for the companionship she had missed in the past few days. As for Lu Tingxiao, he also smiled with satisfaction at the twinkling light in Jiang Ruoxi's eyes. He knew that this was the purest longing a mother could have for her child.
When Jiang Ruoxi returned home and opened the door, she saw three babies playing on the mats in the living room. Hearing the noise, the little ones raised their heads one after another, their eyes lit up instantly, they called out "Mom" in baby voices, and rushed towards her with open their little arms.
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes welled up and she quickly stepped forward to hug the children in her arms, feeling their warm little bodies, tears of happiness welled up in her eyes.
"Baby, have you missed your mother these two days?"
"Mom, mom, Sanbao misses you so much!" Sanbao said in a sweet voice.
Jiang Ruoxi picked up Sanbao. "My dear, mommy misses you too!"
Here, Dabao and Erbao saw their mother picking up Sanbao. Each of them held one of Jiang Ruoxi's legs.
"Mom, Dabao misses you too!"
"Mom, Erbao misses you too!"
Lu Tingxiao watched Jiang Ruoxi interact with the three babies, deliberately frowned and crossed his arms.
"Why? You three only want mom and not dad, right?"
When Sanbao saw that something was wrong, he quickly slid down from his mother's arms and staggered towards Lu Tingxiao, stretching out his arms as he walked.
"Dad, Sanbao misses you too. He is sad without you and mom by his side!" Sanbao made a sad expression.
Seeing Sanbao acting so funny, Lu Tingxiao couldn't continue acting anymore, so he quickly bent down and picked up Sanbao.
"It has to be daddy's Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao loves daddy the most!"
Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan, who were standing by, also smiled when they saw this heartwarming scene. During this period, they did their best to take care of the children. Although it was hard work, they were also filled with joy when they saw Jiang Ruoxi and Lu Tingxiao return.
Lu Tingxiao walked forward and said sincerely, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Lan, thank you for your hard work these past few days!" Aunt Chen smiled and waved her hands, "This is what we should do. We are also happy to see Ruoxi finish the college entrance examination and return safely!"
In the evening, the family sat around the dining table and shared a warm dinner. Jiang Ruoxi shared every detail of her college entrance examination. The children listened with great interest, their eyes wide open. Lu Tingxiao picked up some food for Jiang Ruoxi from time to time, his eyes full of love.
However, Jiang Ruoxi was also feeling a little uneasy. The day when the college entrance examination results were to be announced was drawing closer, and she felt both excited and nervous.
One afternoon, she and Lu Tingxiao were sitting in the yard taking a nap in the sun. She couldn't help but express her worries, "Tingxiao, I'm a little scared. What if I don't do well in the exam?"
Lu Tingxiao gently held her hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, you've tried very hard. No matter what the result is, I will always support you. Besides, this is just a stage in life. There are many wonderful possibilities waiting for us in the future!" Jiang Ruoxi looked at him, a warm current surged in her heart, and she nodded heavily.
With Lu Tingxiao's company and encouragement, Jiang Ruoxi gradually calmed down and began to look forward to her future life. No matter what her college entrance examination results are, she knows that she has a warm home, a husband who loves her deeply, and lovely children. These are her most precious wealth.
The smoke of the college entrance examination slowly dissipated, and Jiang Ruoxi's tense nerves finally relaxed, allowing her to devote herself to spending time with her children.
Every morning, when the sunlight shines gently into the house through the window, she takes the children to play and exercise in the yard, teaches them to recognize new flowers and plants, and patiently answers the children's childlike questions. Laughter and joy echo in every corner of the yard.
Lu Tingxiao was still working as usual in the army. During breaks, he often sat with his comrades, studying military theory books, sharing training experiences, and discussing how to improve military skills. Their discussions were heated and in-depth, with sparks of thought constantly bursting out in the exchanges and collisions.
In addition to accompanying her children, Jiang Ruoxi also did not stop working on self-improvement. She plunged into the ocean of information, consulted a large number of books and newspapers, and with her solid knowledge reserves and keen insight, she wrote several articles with unique viewpoints, which were successfully published in the "Liberation Army Daily".
Once the article was published, it caused quite a stir in the military and family circles, and everyone looked at her with admiration. This not only gave Jiang Ruoxi a great sense of accomplishment, but also inspired her to continue to delve deeper into the field she loves.
One day, Jiang Ruoxi received an invitation from a newspaper, hoping that she could participate in a writing exchange event held in Dan City. She was both excited and nervous. When she discussed it with Lu Tingxiao, her eyes were full of anticipation: "Tingxiao, this is a rare opportunity for me, but I'm worried that I can't do well." Lu Tingxiao held her hand tightly and gave her firm support: "Don't worry, you write so well, there will be no problem, the children and I are proud of you!"
On the day of the event, Jiang Ruoxi made careful preparations and confidently shared her writing experiences and insights on stage. The audience was deeply moved by her sincerity and talent and applauded continuously. When they got home, the children excitedly rushed towards her and said in baby voices, "Mom, you are so great!" Lu Tingxiao also smiled and gave her a bouquet of flowers. The whole family was immersed in happiness and joy.
As the days passed, Jiang Ruoxi's writing career became more and more successful, and she received many new commissions. She also began to try to incorporate her own parenting experience into articles to inspire more people. Lu Tingxiao also performed well in the army and was commended for his outstanding training results. In this warm little home, they walk hand in hand and write their own wonderful chapter together.
Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the college entrance examination results are announced. It happened that Lu Tingxiao was on vacation that day, so before daybreak, the two of them boarded the bus to the local admissions office. It was a chilly winter morning, but their hearts were full of expectations and longings for the future. They traveled the entire way in silence but with a tacit understanding.
When they arrived at the admissions office, they were surprised by what they saw. The inside and outside of the hall were crowded with eagerly awaited candidates, all staring eagerly at the bulletin board where the scores were posted, and the noisy voices merged into a wave of sound. Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi looked at the crowded crowd and exchanged glances. They knew that it was so crowded that they might not be able to check their results quickly even if they squeezed in. It would be better to wait for a while.
So the two of them strolled to the nearby department store. As you enter the building, a wide variety of goods come into view. They walked straight to the food area and carefully selected some soft, sweet cakes, crispy and delicious peach cakes, and the children's favorite White Rabbit milk candies, thinking of giving the children a surprise when they got home.
When passing by the children's clothing area, Jiang Ruoxi stopped. The exquisite little clothes attracted her attention. She compared them carefully and picked out a set of well-fitting and beautiful clothes for each baby. She imagined how happy the children would be when they put on the new clothes, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
Before they knew it, it was almost noon. They felt hungry after shopping, so they went to a state-owned restaurant. The restaurant was crowded with people and the aroma of food filled the air. They ordered a few home-cooked dishes, simple but heartwarming, and chatted while eating, their words filled with anxiety and anticipation for the results they were about to learn.
In the afternoon, they came to the Admissions Office again. At this time, the crowded and noisy scene in the morning no longer existed, and only a few candidates were still looking for their names in front of the bulletin board. Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi walked straight to the staff, and Lu Tingxiao politely gave Jiang Ruoxi's admission ticket number. The staff member skillfully rummaged through the pile of documents, checked the information, and found the results.
For a moment, the staff member was stunned, his face full of surprise. He repeatedly confirmed the admission ticket number, and then raised his voice excitedly: "Are you Jiang Ruoxi? You scored 485 points, you are our provincial number one!" This voice instantly attracted the attention of the people around.
The parents who had not yet left cast envious glances and whispered about the situation. "So this is the provincial top student. He's so young, so amazing! I wonder if he has a partner!" a parent said curiously.
Another parent immediately chimed in: "You can tell she has a partner. Didn't you see the man next to her? He's tall and handsome!"
Someone else whispered, "That's not necessarily true. It could be her brother!"
Listening to these discussions, Lu Tingxiao felt an inexplicable surge of sadness in his heart. He felt proud of Jiang Ruoxi, but also a little concerned about other people's speculation.
He held Jiang Ruoxi's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Wife, you are awesome! You are the top scorer in the province!" He raised his voice deliberately, just to let everyone around them know about their relationship.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Lu Tingxiao's childish appearance, smiled knowingly, and gently squeezed his hand to comfort him.
Afterwards, the staff enthusiastically introduced the subsequent procedures and related matters to them, and congratulated them on their excellent results. After coming out of the admissions office, the sun was shining brightly. Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi walked on the street, feeling the approving looks from the people around them.
Lu Tingxiao said excitedly, "Wife, you are so outstanding. You will definitely have a bright future. I have to work harder." Jiang Ruoxi leaned on his shoulder and said gently, "No matter what the future holds, we will face it together. You have always been my strongest support."
When passing by the military service center on his way home, Lu Tingxiao called both sets of parents and told Jiang Ruoxi that her college entrance examination results were out. She scored 485 points, making her the top scorer in Liaoning Province.
Both sets of parents were extremely happy and said they would give Jiang Ruoxi a big red envelope when they returned.
When we got home, the children ran out to greet us, cheering. They took out the gifts they bought for the children, and the children danced with joy. Jiang Ruoxi told her family that she had scored 485 points in the exam. Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan were surprised and happy, and kept praising her for her promising future. The whole family sat together, sharing the joy, and a warm atmosphere filled the whole house.
After learning that Jiang Ruoxi, a military wife, won the top spot in the college entrance examination in Liaoning Province, the Liaoning Provincial Education Bureau attached great importance to it. The staff, full of respect, rushed to the scene with a group of reporters just to dig deeper into her inspirational story.
As soon as they saw Jiang Ruoxi, the education bureau leader warmly shook her hand, his eyes full of praise: "Comrade Jiang, you are amazing! Not only are you the pride of our Liao Province, but you are also a role model for many military families to learn from!"
During the interview, Jiang Ruoxi sincerely shared the hardships and difficulties she experienced in preparing for the exam, as well as the silent support from her family, especially her husband Lu Tingxiao, a soldier. After the interview, the Education Bureau awarded her 500 yuan on the spot to express their recognition and encouragement for her.
The military district also made a quick decision after learning about Jiang Ruoxi's outstanding achievements and her contributions to the propaganda forces.
The leader of the army personally found Jiang Ruoxi and said solemnly: "Comrade Jiang Ruoxi, you have contributed articles to the newspaper many times, vividly showing the style of our soldiers and establishing a good image for the army. You have achieved such brilliant results in the college entrance examination this time. The military region has decided to reward you 400 yuan!" This reward is not only a material encouragement, but also a recognition of her efforts.
After the news spread in the military area and the family compound, it instantly caused a sensation. Everyone gave Jiang Ruoxi a thumbs up and praised her as a role model of women in the new era. The children's eyes were full of admiration, and the adults gathered from time to time to discuss her deeds. The entire compound was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and pride.
