Yun Qiao gently held his mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, I don't think you need to worry about this problem. Since Zhao Yuan dared to come to me to borrow information, she must have been prepared to deal with her family. Let me put it bluntly, if she can't even handle her family, why would she take the college entrance examination? Just stay at home and take care of the child."
"That's true." Feng Juan sighed and said, "Once a woman gets married and has children, she's restricted and it becomes difficult for her to do anything. Especially when her family doesn't support her."
"It's difficult, but it's not hopeless." Yun Qiao smiled, but her eyes were firm. "Mom, times have changed. This is not the old society anymore. The mountain that weighed down women's heads has been pushed down. Although there are still many invisible difficulties on this road, as long as you don't trap yourself, you will one day be able to live a wonderful life."
"Zhao Yuan is resilient and determined to go to university. She definitely won't be content to stay home and look after her children her whole life. Now that she has the opportunity, she's definitely going to seize it and venture out."
Feng Juan listened to her daughter's words, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. "Yun Qiao, you're right. Mom is narrow-minded. You young people today are much better than me. I don't have the drive to fight anymore. I'm content just thinking about taking good care of you and the children."
"Mom, don't say that. You're fine too, we just made different choices." Yun Qiao hugged Feng Juan's arm and said, "The reason I can do whatever I want now is entirely because you're there to support me. If you hadn't kept the house in such good order, I wouldn't have been able to study without any worries like I do now. Just taking care of two children is enough for me. Mom, I have to thank you, you've really helped me a lot."
"Silly child, you are so polite to your mother. I agree." Feng Juan held Yun Qiao's hand, with a smile in her eyes and eyebrows.
She just likes Yun Qiao sticking to her.
The eighteen-year-long separation between mother and daughter had caused her to suffer from severe fear of separation. She longed for the feeling of being needed by her daughter and enjoyed this state.
No one says that a woman must make the right choice.
As long as you follow your heart and are not forced, you can do whatever you want.
Yun Qiao didn't take Zhao Yuan's little episode to heart. As the college entrance examination approached, Yun Qiao put all his attention on reviewing and didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to what happened next on Zhao Yuan's side.
Although Feng Juan knew it, since Yun Qiao didn't ask, she didn't bother to tell Yun Qiao.
As I said, now is the critical moment of college entrance examination review, and Feng Juan doesn't want the troubles happening in the outside world to affect Yun Qiao's mood for preparation.
The days passed in such intense review, and soon, the day of the college entrance examination arrived.
On December 10th, from 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning, the first subject of the exam was politics.
Yun Qiao's examination venue was assigned to the nearby Government Middle School. Yun Qiao went to see the examination venue two days in advance and found the examination classroom and his seat to avoid going to the wrong place and missing the exam.
On the day of the exam, the atmosphere at home was extremely tense and solemn early in the morning, and everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
Even He Tingjun took two days off from work and went to the examination hall with his family to take her to the exam.
Yun Qiao felt a bit stressed because his family was taking it so seriously. While eating, he half-jokingly told them, "Don't be so nervous. It's just a test. I've been practicing so many exercises lately, I'm confident I can do well on it."
"You guys are so nervous, it makes me want to get nervous too."
Having said that, the college entrance examination can affect a person's whole life, so no one in the family can really relax. But in order not to affect Yun Qiao's mood, the family still followed her words and laughed and joked to ease the atmosphere.
Yun Qiao's breakfast was a fried dough stick and egg set meal specially prepared for her by Feng Juan. One fried dough stick and two eggs meant she would pass the exam with flying colors. Whether it worked or not was not the point for now, it was just a good omen.
After dinner, the family walked Yunqiao to the examination hall.
The Authority Middle School is near the compound. It takes ten minutes to walk out of the compound to get there. It is close and there is no need to take public transportation.
Another reason is that there are too many people taking the college entrance examination. The roads are full of people and cars, so driving is not necessarily faster than walking.
Cross the road and turn into the street where the Authority Middle School is located. There are staff members in traffic police uniforms managing traffic. All vehicles are not allowed to enter and can only pass by on foot.
Even so, the whole street was still extremely crowded, especially the school gate, which was packed with candidates and their families.
Because it was still a long way from the exam time, the school gate had not yet been opened, and the candidates and their family members who came to send them off were afraid of being late. For such an important moment as the college entrance examination, it is always better to be early than late. The result of arriving early is that they cannot enter the examination room and can only squeeze into the school gate, causing congestion.
Yun Qiao felt suffocated by the crowd in front of him. He tugged at Feng Juan's sleeve and said, "Let's stand a little further away and wait until the door opens. There's no point going over now. If we get squeezed, there's also the risk of getting hurt."
Feng Juan naturally agreed: "Okay."
He Tingjun said, "Have you brought everything? Do you want to check again?"
Yun Qiao nodded and said, "I've brought everything. I checked it several times this morning."
He Tingjun nodded: "That's good."
As she was speaking, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind her: "Sister Yun Qiao? You were also sent to this examination room."
Yun Qiao looked over and found it was Zhao Yuan.
She came alone, wearing a gray navy blue coarse cotton jacket, black pants with an inconspicuous patch on the knee, and a worn green cross-body bag. She looked like a country girl who had just moved to the city from the countryside. Her dress was completely different from when she came to my house a month ago to borrow review materials.
Yun Qiao's eyes flashed with surprise, but the exam was about to start, and she didn't want to cause any trouble and affect the other person's mood, so she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded calmly and smiled, "Yes, I'm also in this exam room. Which classroom were you sent to?"
