With her daughter's high school entrance exam approaching, Zhao Qinglan spent less time at work, only going to the office for a short time each day to check on the progress of various tasks.
Most of the time, she stays at home, being a good mother, especially taking great care in preparing three meals a day.
Even Erwa couldn't help but sigh, "If only someone in our family could take an exam every year."
Wouldn't that mean Mom would have to cook more often, and he could always eat delicious food?
Xiao Duo and Da Wa both couldn't stand looking at their younger brother, Er Wa.
"No need to rush, it'll be your turn next year," Xiaoduo said.
In fact, for the next few years, someone in their family had to take an exam every year.
This year, Xiaoduo will take the high school entrance exam, and next year, Erwa will take the high school entrance exam. After that, the siblings will take turns taking the college entrance exam, starting with the eldest child.
It's not always good for children to be close in age, but Zhao Qinglan was just glad that her third child was much older than his older brothers and sisters.
Since their eldest child moved back to the provincial capital, the family has rarely returned to the region.
Sometimes, Mrs. Sun would miss her grandchildren and come to the provincial capital for a few days.
Zhao Qinglan noticed that her mother was getting older and becoming more talkative, which explained why her second sister occasionally complained to her.
However, she lived to be sixty in her previous life, so she understood some of the old lady's thoughts quite well, and the mother and daughter could still have some things to talk about.
Mrs. Sun felt that her eldest daughter was more and more considerate. If it weren't for the fact that her second daughter's daughter was too young, she would always feel uneasy and wish she could live at her eldest daughter's house all the time.
Zhao Qinglan's daughter's high school entrance exam finally arrived.
Xiaoduo has a good mindset and believes she is well-prepared. She will do whatever she wants the day before the exam and her family doesn't need to worry about her at all.
On the day of her exam, after breakfast, Zhao Qinglan and her husband took their daughter to the exam venue together.
Li Huai happened to be off today, and he took advantage of the rare opportunity to use his own car to take his daughter to her exam.
Because the school was being used as an examination venue, both my older and younger children were at home.
Zhao Qinglan and the others walked out the door together, and Da Wa and his brothers also came out.
"Xiaoduo, don't be nervous." Dawa affectionately patted his younger sister's head.
"Brother, it's not easy for me to comb my hair neatly," Xiaoduo complained.
"Sis, hurry up and finish your exams so we can go see that new movie together," Erwa said with a grin.
"Okay." Xiaoduo smiled.
"Sister, keep it up." Sanwa was still a man of few words.
"Absolutely."
With blessings from her brothers, Xiaoduo got into the car.
Li Huai didn't send his orderly; he drove the car himself.
After getting into the car, Zhao Qinglan opened her daughter's bag and helped check her belongings.
"Let me take a closer look, the admission ticket, the pen..."
"Mom, I've checked it several times."
"I'll check it myself to be on the safe side, just in case you missed something," Zhao Qinglan said without looking up.
Li Huai smiled as he watched his wife and daughter interact in the rearview mirror.
When they were still dozens of meters away from the exam hall entrance, the family of three got out of the car.
The main problem is that there are too many people at the entrance of the examination hall. It's both conspicuous and difficult to move a car there, so it's better to get off in advance.
They drove there in about ten minutes, and seeing that Xiaoduo had gone in smoothly, they didn't wait at the entrance of the examination hall and went home immediately.
Once home, Zhao Qinglan rested for a while before starting to prepare lunch.
After Xiaoduo finished her exam, she was greeted by her father, Li Huai, and her older brother, Da Wa.
"Are you hungry? Your mom has already prepared dinner. Let's go home and eat," Li Huai said gently.
The older brother didn't even ask how his younger sister did on the exam. He went up and carried her schoolbag for her, acting like a good older brother.
Xiao Duo finished her high school entrance exam amidst the love and care of her whole family.
"Finally, the exams are over! I'm free!" Xiaoduo cheered as she finished the last exam.
She never complains about how hard it is to study at home, but she has always been very hardworking.
Both her older and younger brothers are excellent. Her older brother did very well in the high school entrance exam, and she didn't want to perform poorly either.
Some girls at school were jealous of her, saying that she only benefited from her family's good financial situation. However, those jealous people could not see the efforts she made to get among the top students in the grade.
Her parents provided her with excellent living conditions, but she never gave up striving for success.
Zhao Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief as her daughter finally finished her exams. She then asked her daughter where she wanted to go for fun, as it had become a tradition for their family to travel every summer vacation.
"Mom, I haven't decided yet. Let me stay home and rest for a few days."
“Okay,” Zhao Qinglan said with a smile.
After Xiaoduo and her friends finished their middle school entrance exams, Da Wa and his brothers didn't attend classes for many days before all of them finished their final exams and started summer vacation.
The children spent two days having fun in the provincial capital, going to the movies together and going boating in the park with their classmates.
Just as Xiaoduo and the others had finished playing and were discussing where to go on a trip, Zhao Qinglan received some news.
The call was from Sui Wenjing. Zhao Qinglan wasn't in the office at the time, so someone else answered the phone and quickly came to her house.
The sisters' grandmother, Old Mrs. Zhao, has passed away.
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Qinglan was somewhat dazed.
She remembered that in her previous life, this old lady lived to a very old age, passing away peacefully when she was almost fifty.
Why do people die so young in this life?
Was she sad? No, after all, she didn't really have a close relationship with her grandmother. She was just a little saddened by the impermanence of life.
Zhao Qinglan hadn't paid attention to the Zhao family's situation for a long time. She didn't know that in this life, because she left the Wang family early, orchestrated her mother's divorce, and took her sisters with her, the Zhao family underwent earth-shattering changes.
