The college entrance examination in Linwen County is scheduled for November 21st, 22nd and 23rd. Both liberal arts and science subjects will have five subjects to test. Among them, politics, Chinese and mathematics are the subjects that both liberal arts and science subjects must take. In addition, liberal arts subjects will take history and geography, while science subjects will take physics and chemistry. In addition, all students will have an English test which will not be counted in the score.
The college entrance examination coincided with the Minor Snow solar term. Early in the morning, a sparse drizzle fell from the sky. The weather was bitterly cold. Even though Cheng Maixiang was wearing a thick cotton coat, she still couldn't help shivering.
Today is the first day of the college entrance examination, which also happens to be Monday. Despite her objections, Lin Jiayu took three days off to accompany her outside the examination room to spend these unforgettable three days.
The breakfast was very rich. Lin Qingwan originally thought that she would need to use her brain a lot during the exam, so she wanted to make more meat to nourish her brain, but Cheng Maixiang firmly opposed it. She said that eating too much greasy food would affect digestion, which would not only not help, but would hinder her performance.
Lin Qingwan didn't understand these things, but after listening to Cheng Maixiang's clear explanation, she made some light meals according to her requirements, but still added several eggs to the food.
At the dinner table, the Lin siblings never mentioned anything about the college entrance examination and only talked about gossip. But when Cheng Maixiang looked closely, she could see that Lin Qingwan's hands were shaking slightly.
What a joke these brother and sister are. She, who is about to take the exam, is not nervous at all, but why are the two bystanders so nervous, as if they are the ones who are about to take the exam.
It's no wonder they were nervous. A few days ago, Cheng's mother and Cheng Maiqing also expressed their desire to come to the city to accompany her to take the exam, but she sternly refused. Just kidding, it's just a college entrance examination, but it has made the whole family restless, and it will also increase her psychological pressure. Maybe she will lose the results she could have gotten.
It was almost eight o'clock, and seeing that the two were still sitting there doing nothing, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but remind her to go to the examination room early, so as not to be delayed by anything on the way.
Cheng Maixiang was at a loss for words. Her examination room was at Linwen High School, which was only fifteen minutes away by bike. The exam started at nine in the morning. Even if she entered the examination room fifteen minutes in advance, leaving at this time would mean she would have to freeze outside the examination room for more than half an hour.
However, seeing that Lin Qingwan was frowning with nervousness, as if she would miss the exam if she didn't leave, he stood up and was about to set off with the prepared items.
Even though she had checked several times last night to make sure she had everything with her, Lin Jiayu still opened the bag again and checked everything one by one, especially making sure she had her admission ticket, before taking her out.
In this era, there were naturally no traffic jams on the roads as would happen in later generations. The two of them traveled smoothly all the way. Lin Jiayu pedaled fast, and in less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at the gate of Linwen High School.
Lin Jiayu was looking for a place to park his bicycle. Cheng Maixiang looked at her watch. Sure enough, it was not yet 8:10. She sighed deeply.
In her previous life, Cheng Maixiang was used to checking the time on her mobile phone. She felt that wearing a watch on her wrist was too restrictive and never had the habit of buying a watch.
But when she came to this world, she found that it was really inconvenient without a watch, so she just bought a watch casually. But the last time she went to Guangzhou, Lin Jiayu bought her a watch while shopping in the mall, regardless of her objection, and spent a full hundred yuan. She felt painful just thinking about it.
But this women's watch is really beautiful. Lin Jiayu took a long time to choose this small and exquisite one and bought it for her.
Lin Jiayu parked his bicycle, took the bag from her hand, and held it tightly in his arms, fearing that someone would lose it. He took Cheng Maixiang's hand and found a sheltered place to stand.
At this time, there were still more than twenty minutes before the time for admission. The front of the school was full of candidates, including graduates of seventeen or eighteen years old, people in their late thirties, and one candidate who looked to be forty years old, with gray hair and a weather-beaten face.
In later generations, although the number of people taking the college entrance examination was also large and the college entrance examination was also important, it was no longer the only way to success. Some people chose to repeat their studies after failing the exam, but few people could persist for several years and would not give up until they got into university. There was once a grandfather in his seventies who took the college entrance examination several times in a row in order to realize his dream. He kept failing and kept fighting, and he was on the news for several years.
But in this era, the college entrance examination is the only way for young people to escape from farming and eat the country's food. It is no wonder that every candidate's face shows unspeakable anxiety.
As far as Cheng Maixiang knows, there are as many as 5.7 million college entrance examination candidates nationwide this year, but the number of admitted people is only about 280,000, and the admission rate is only 4.8%. Compared with the admission rates of several tens of percent in later generations, it is really rare. In other words, 95% of the students taking the exam here are destined to have no chance of going to university.
Thinking of this, Cheng Maixiang, who had been calm, also began to get nervous. She blew on her frozen hands and stomped her numb feet. Seeing this, Lin Jiayu pulled her hand and hid it in his arms.
His arms were so warm that Cheng Maixiang felt as if she was holding a small heater with her hands, and she couldn't help but greedily absorb the heat from them.
Someone patted Cheng Maixiang's shoulder heavily. She turned around and saw that it was Ruan Peiling. It was a coincidence that the examination rooms were divided this time, and the two of them happened to be in the same examination room.
Ruan Peiling glanced at Lin Jiayu mischievously and couldn't help but teasing, "Look, people with partners are different from us. Their partners accompany them to the exam room, and we are left alone."
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't your cousin ask for leave to accompany you? It's you who doesn't need her, and you're still playing the victim in front of me."
"I wasn't nervous at first when I asked them to do something, but now I'm nervous too."
When Lin Jiayu heard her say that, he immediately said to Cheng Maixiang, "Maizi, are you nervous too?"
