Chapter 228 The College Entrance Examination is Over
In the examination room, candidates were answering questions attentively. In the quiet classroom, the only sounds were the rustling of people writing and flipping test papers.
Outside the school gate, parents who accompanied their children to take the exam had their eyes full of eager hope.
As time passed, the sunlight became stronger and stronger, and the temperature became higher and higher. Hua's mother sat by the school wall. There was a big tree behind her, which just blocked some of the sunlight, so she was not as hot as everyone else.
Hua's mother felt that her physical condition seemed to have improved, because she was now obviously not as afraid of cold or heat as before. Even if she was asked to stand under the sun like everyone else, she would not sweat like others.
In fact, less than an hour after the exam started, some people often handed in their papers early. Hua's mother turned around and faced the inside of the campus, looking at the empty campus, wanting to see Hua Xiali the moment she came out and then let her know she was there.
However, Hua Xiali did not hand in her paper in advance. Instead, she sat there diligently until the bell rang, indicating the end of the exam. Only when most of the candidates in the classroom had left did Hua Xiali stand up and hand in her paper, because at this time everyone was swarming out of the school, and she was a pregnant woman. What if she was accidentally bumped into by someone and it affected her afternoon exam?
When Hua Xiali came out of the campus, there were not many people outside the door, so she could clearly see Huo Beixi and Hua's mother standing there side by side waiting for her.
Hua Xiali was a little surprised, "Huo Beixi, why are you here? Isn't it troublesome for you to run back and forth like this?"
"Riding a motorcycle, what's the trouble?" Huo Beixi took the test tools from Hua Xiali and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat first, then take a break, and then take the test in the afternoon."
He knew that Hua Xiali attached great importance to this exam, so he naturally hoped that Hua Xiali could achieve his wish.
Although he also hoped that they could be together every day and didn't want to be separated, he didn't want her to live with regrets for the rest of her life, so he supported everything except one thing.
Many parents came to accompany their children to take the exam today, so there were many people in the hotels near the school, and they didn’t know how long they would have to wait to eat. Huo Beixi had a motorcycle and it was fast, so he took them a little further in the direction of the county town, found a hotel there, and asked for a private room.
After dinner, Huo Beixi let Hua Xiali lean on his arms and take a nap for a while. Hua's mother was relieved to see Huo Beixi being so nice to Hua Xiali as if no one was around.
She herself has never enjoyed this aspect of her life, but her two daughters have met good men. Now only Hua Qiuli is left. She hopes that she can also meet a good man in the future, rather than a man like Hua Tiefeng, who has a bad temper, does not bring money home, and does not interfere in family affairs.
"Beixi, will it delay your afternoon work?" Hua's mother asked worriedly.
After all, Huo Beixi works in the village office. If he makes exceptions for Hua Xiali again and again, people will inevitably gossip about him.
Huo Beixi shook his head. "It's okay. I'll take you to school later. I'll just ride faster."
He works there, not at school, so he has to go to the classroom when the bell rings. There is no time limit for their work there, but they certainly can't be late for too long.
"But you also have to be careful." Hua's mother warned.
An hour later, Huo Beixi sent Hua Xiali and his mother to the school gate, and then rode away on his motorcycle. Hua Xiali looked at his back as he left, and felt very happy that there was someone who was willing to run around like this for her.
On the last afternoon, after finishing the last course, everyone came out of the examination room. The college entrance examination was over, and Hua Xiali was finally completely relieved.
Seeing Huo Beixi and Hua's mother standing outside waiting for her, Hua Xiali ran over happily.
Hua's mother hurriedly warned, "Slow down, slow down, don't you look at your own situation?"
Hua Xiali smiled and said, "I know my own body well. There's nothing wrong with me."
Mother Hua continued, "Xia Li, you and Bei Xi should go back together today! Your elder sister is in a critical period now, and I have to go back. I'm afraid Zhang Yongfeng won't be able to handle it alone."
Hua Chunli's due date is close to the summer vacation. If it is a few days earlier, she might be born before the vacation. It is normal for Hua's mother to be nervous.
Hua Xiali nodded, "Okay, then you go to the city, and when my eldest sister gives birth, remember to call me back using the hospital's phone."
"Okay." Hua's mother agreed.
Huo Beixi rode a motorcycle and took Hua Xiali and Hua's mother to the train station. There were many trains at the train station, so they could go to the city at any time, which was much more convenient than taking a minibus.
After Hua's mother went in, Huo Beixi drove Hua Xiali back home. The college entrance examination was finally over, and Hua Xiali could have a good rest from now on. However, Hua Xiali was a person who could not rest, and it was impossible for her to really rest at home honestly.
When the motorcycle drove into the flower shop, people who had good relations with the flower shop came over to ask Hua Xiali how he did in the exam. Hua Xiali did not say that he would definitely pass, but just said that he did okay.
However, she felt that she could pass the exam because she was taking the science exam, and in science, as long as you apply the formulas, you won't go wrong. It's not like the arts, where your answers might not meet the teacher's requirements, and no matter how well you answer, your score won't be high. But it's different in science, as long as you get it right, you'll get points.
It was already summer, and even though they came back from class in the evening, it was not dark when they got home, and the sun was even shining brightly.
Hua Xiali rested at home for two days, and then she couldn't wait to go to her fourth uncle's house, because this season had come for picking bamboo fungus, and she couldn't miss it. She had to seize the opportunity and pick as much as she could.
Although she couldn't squat down, she could sit on a chair, which would not affect her picking of bamboo fungi.
Moreover, she can directly harvest the vegetables grown on the six acres of mountain land here, because in this season, there are vegetables to pick every day. It’s okay to delay for two days, but if you delay too long, they will become old and inedible and can only be kept as seeds.
However, Hua Xiali asked his fourth uncle to leave a piece of vegetables untouched, because these were used to grow seeds, so that they would not need to buy seeds from outside in the future. After all, these varieties would not be available for purchase in the future.
There were indeed more vegetable varieties in the past life than there are now, but many of them were not as delicious as the ones today. Hua Xiali still prefers to eat today's vegetables, so she keeps some more seeds so that she has an endless supply of vegetables to eat. Later, Hua Xiali went to the seed store to buy some more. After all, she has two vegetable plots, which together cover more than 20 acres!
Baibao County has cleared a piece of land for its employees to grow vegetables, so more vegetable seeds need to be prepared.
