The college entrance examination in the late 1990s was scheduled in the scorching heat of July. In the midst of the hot summer, Sun Rongfang made a pot of cool and heat-reducing herbal tea for her daughter and asked her to carry it to the examination room.
"Mom, you don't have to come with me. I can do it by myself." Xie Wanying turned around and said to her mother who wanted to take her to the examination room.
Sun Rongfang didn't have time to react before she saw her daughter walking out alone.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Wanying rode her old, creaking bicycle and rushed to the examination room alone.
Arriving at the entrance of the No. 8 Middle School examination room, Xie Wanying saw a car coming towards her. She put her bicycle in the parking shed and saw her deskmate Zhang Wei getting out of the car.
It should be said that the entrance to the examination room was very lively with people coming and going. Many parents of candidates came to the examination room to accompany the candidates. The college entrance examination can not only change the fate of a candidate, but also change the fate of a family. Parents put all their hopes on their children's college entrance examination. One by one, they helped to organize and check the children's schoolbags, muttering to themselves.
Xie Wanying didn't want her mother to come to the examination room because she didn't want her mother to be tired.
There were too many people, not only were they crowded together, but the weather was also hot and you would sweat profusely if you stood for any length of time. Furthermore, there was no place to enjoy the cool air, so we had to stay in the sun for hours.
All the parents of candidates who come here are eagerly waiting for their children to finish the exam before leaving together.

Liu Hui, the head teacher, also came. Liu Hui didn't have to be an invigilator, so she came here to cheer up her students. Zhang Wei's mother took Zhang Wei over and started chatting with Liu Hui.
Xie Wanying walked through the line of examinees at the school gate alone and went straight to the examination classroom.
When she arrived at the corridor of the examination hall, she saw Zhao Wenzong who was about to enter the next classroom. Zhao Wenzong came alone, just like her. It is true that children from poor families grow up early.
Xie Wanying originally wanted to ask him whether he had changed his college entrance examination application, but then she thought better of it. It would be useless to ask after he had already filled out the application, and it would also affect his mood for the exam.
The first subject in the morning was Chinese.
After the exam, they went home for lunch. Sun Rongfang didn't dare to ask her daughter. Xie Changrong took his son to his father's house for lunch, pretending to be angry with the mother and daughter.
The exam lasted three days. At the end of the exam, because it was the hottest day, there was no air conditioning but only large fans. The candidates were sweating and felt a little exhausted after the exam. Xie Wanying saw someone faint at the door of the classroom after leaving the exam room.
"Send, send, send, quickly take him to the hospital." Several teachers carried the fainted student and ran out quickly.
Later, Xie Wanying returned home and found that Zhou Ruomei had suddenly called her mother.
"How did Yingying do in the exam? The weather is so hot, has she finished the questions?" Zhou Ruomei asked as if she was very concerned about the health of her junior.
Sun Rongfang was honest and thought her cousin really cared about her daughter. She said happily, "I was afraid she couldn't handle it, so I made her some herbal tea for her to take to the exam. Now, after three days of exams, she seems fine. I think she did pretty well."
"Didn't you faint? I saw Yingying was quite thin. That's why I'm worried that she can't be a doctor. To be a doctor, the first requirement is to be in good health."
"Yes, she told me the same thing. She went running after her exams, saying it was to exercise in advance."
