Chapter 1969: No. 1 in the Province 1
Two invigilators walked in on the snow in silence, carrying the test papers. After a quick check, it was almost time for the exam to start, so they distributed the test papers one by one, and handed it to the last candidate just in time.
The test paper was mimeographed and the paper quality was very rough.
The smell of ink is very pungent, but the people present feel it is very fragrant.
After collecting the admission ticket for which he paid fifty cents for registration, Xi Bao picked up the pen that the old leader had given him before his death, carefully wrote his name and address, then held both sides of the test paper and read it from beginning to end.
To him, the questions were very simple. Many of the question types had appeared in the college entrance examination materials compiled by his predecessors. Many candidates who had bought that material were ecstatic and excited to the point of being unable to control themselves. The candidates in the same examination room as Xi Bao couldn't help but look at him with gratitude and then continued to write quickly.
Among the candidates who came to take the college entrance examination, only young ones were in the minority; most of them were adults and did not need to be accompanied by their families. However, Mr. Lu and Cheng Baoguo were worried, so the two old brothers waited outside the examination room with a saline bottle filled with hot water.
As for Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu and his wife who are scattered in other examination halls, they are all adults and there is no need to worry about them.
Among the three brothers, Father Lu was the healthiest. Although he suffered some hardships after the founding of the People's Republic of China, his health was not damaged. Unlike him and Wang Xinsheng, they fought in battles before the founding of the People's Republic of China, suffered many gunshot wounds and knife wounds, and walked through grasslands and crossed snow-capped mountains, which left them with chronic diseases.

The children are young and energetic, so Feng Qingxue seldom makes leather jackets for them. However, considering that it would be very hard for Lu Tianzhi, Guan Yu and his wife, Xi Bao and others to take the college entrance examination in the cold winter, she specially asked a tailor to make a set for them and send it over.
Therefore, Feng Qingxue made clothes for these old people, all of which were leather jackets, leather pants and leather waistcoats stuffed with cotton.
Cheng Baoguo listened to his elder brother's words and looked down at the saline bottle in his arms. "There's nothing we can do. Xibao doesn't want to bring the thermos in. Fortunately, he's dressed warmly, so he shouldn't be cold. When he leaves the examination room, I'll take him to the state-owned restaurant for a bowl of mutton soup. I've already made an appointment with the restaurant. Xiaoxue is really thoughtful. She specially sent a fur coat, fur pants, and fur boots to each of them and Zhou Zhou. I know that mink and sheepskin are the warmest. I've worn them in the past few years and I don't have leg and back pain like I used to when it rained continuously."
After the morning exam, when Xibao came out, her hands and feet were still warm, her face was rosy, and she looked full of energy.
"The weather is so cold that my hands are bound to be frozen. The half-gloves knitted by Xiaoxue are probably useless." The college entrance examination used to be held in the summer, but this year it is scheduled for winter. It's a torture.
"Xibao, are you cold?" Father Lu and Cheng Baoguo immediately stepped forward to ask about her well-being. Although they were old and their eyesight was not very good, they could not help but feel that Xibao was so outstanding that she stood out from the crowd.
Cheng Baoguo touched his hand and frowned, "Where's your coat?"
Xi Bao said nonchalantly, "It was too hot for me to wear my coat, so I lent it to a classmate who was taking the exam in the same room."
He was worried that the two grandfathers would continue questioning him, so he quickly changed the subject, "I'm not cold, but I'm starving. Where are we going to eat? We have to take the exam in the afternoon, so time is tight."
The two elders quickly took him to the state-owned hotel, where Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu and his wife had already arrived.
"Grandpa, Third Grandpa." The three of them greeted one after another, and then looked at Xibao, "Xibao, where is your coat? It's snowing, and you're young, don't catch a cold."
