Chapter 152 The Examination Begins
When I woke up in the morning, I found that it was snowing heavily outside.
Fortunately, when Chen Cuijuan went out to pack her things, she looked at the weather and thought it was going to snow, so she took her leather cotton shoes with her. It was just right for her to wear them when going out today.
Those cotton shoes are custom-made, with real wool inside. They keep you warmer and warmer even without a fire.
As for the cotton-padded jacket, he simply wore Gu Ye's military coat.
Wrapped tightly, and after a bowl of hot noodle soup, I felt warm all over.
Gu Ye and Chen Cuijuan accompanied Shen Zhiyou and Gu Panddy all the way to the school gate.
We arrived a little early, and the door of the test school was not open yet.
They waited together at the school gate, and Chen Cuijuan prepared thermos for them all.
There is a special cover on the outside so it won’t get hot.
While waiting, review the knowledge points in your mind.
Today is the first day of the exam. I will take the political science exam in the morning and the math exam in the afternoon.
Tomorrow we will have Chinese and comprehensive subjects.
In fact, there is a third day, and the third day is for art and English, which gives additional points.
Shen Zhiyou and Gu Pandi, two native country girls, had never been exposed to English and could only read it for extra points.
While the two of them were reviewing, Chen Cuijuan looked around.
Oh my god, there are so many people here, some of them are holding books and notes in their hands. How can I memorize?
The last time I heard from Shen Zhiyou, he said that there were three test sites in their county, namely the elementary school, junior high school and high school.
Chen Cuijuan originally wanted to count to see how many people there were, but she could only count up to one hundred, and she was not proficient at the rest.
I gave up after counting halfway.
But there are so many people, just one test site.
Last time I heard someone say that the number of people signing up for this exam is unprecedentedly large, and it seems to be true!
Chen Cuijuan became even more nervous.
But she didn't show it, and tried to force a smile to comfort her daughter: "My daughter, do your best in the exam, don't worry, I will cook dinner when you get in, and you will have a hot meal when you return to the guesthouse."
Shen Zhiyou nodded.
Seeing that Chen Cuijuan's eyelashes were covered with snowflakes from the cold, he quickly said, "Mom, you guys should go back first, don't catch a cold."
"It's okay. Mom isn't cold. It's quite hot. I'll go back after you guys go in."
While waiting, Shen Zhiyou and Gu Pandidi also glanced at the candidates waiting outside.
Unlike what they imagined, there weren't many high school students who looked under 20 years old. Instead, there were many people who looked like they were already married.
There are even a few people who already have white hair!
Originally, Gu Pandi felt a little embarrassed to be taking exams at the age of almost 40.
Now that I see that everyone is the same as me, I suddenly feel at ease and relaxed as if I were part of the group.
After entering the examination room and getting the test paper, she found that the contents on it were all the key points that Youyou had marked for her. She had to recite them many times, write them out herself, and simulate them. She was extremely excited.
Take a deep breath and pick up a pen. It's too cold. In order to prevent cheating, the doors in the front and back of the classroom are open.
The north wind was blowing, and many people rushed over from the production teams below. They were not wearing much and their hands were shaking slightly from the cold.
When they went out, they all brought thick clothes with them. They also wore autumn clothes and new sweaters knitted in the past two years under their military coats, and the thick cotton trousers underneath.
The autumn shirt is tucked into the autumn trousers, and the autumn trousers are tucked into the cotton socks. On the outside, I also wrap myself in a large, thick, windproof military coat that is like a big quilt. Even if my hands are writing outside, I don’t feel cold.
Gu Pandi started learning to write only after she came here.
Many people laughed at her handwriting, saying it was not even as good as that of an elementary school student.
But there is no way to make your handwriting beautiful in a short period of time.
She wrote every stroke very carefully. Although her handwriting was ugly, it was easy to recognize and very neat.
Shen Zhiyou and Gu Pandi are not in the same classroom.
After getting the test paper, she immediately scanned the contents of the test paper from beginning to end.
After seeing that they were all questions I had prepared for, I couldn’t help but clench my fists - I was sure to win!
I had done simulations before and knew how much time it would take me to write a question.
When she saw that the number of questions on the test paper was less than she had expected and that she had plenty of time, she not only wrote down the knowledge points in the book, but also extended and enriched them with the newspapers and articles she had read.
After finishing the last question, there is still half an hour left.
Shen Zhiyou took the test paper and checked it from beginning to end starting from the first question.
After checking, there are still fifteen minutes left.
Wait until the bell rings to signal the end of the exam, stand up, hand in the paper and leave the exam room.
As soon as I walked out, I saw Gu Pandi who also walked out of the classroom.
The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled.
It seems that the other party did well in the exam.
When I walked out of the school gate, Gu Ye was already waiting outside.
Holding a thermos in hand, he asked them if they were thirsty.
Shen Zhiyou was still a little excited after finishing an exam, so she didn't feel thirsty at all. However, since Gu Ye had brought it to her, she still took the cup with a smile, "I'm thirsty, so I just want to drink some hot water. Gu Ye, why are you so nice?"
Looking at his wife holding the cup and drinking water, Gu Ye poured another cup for Gu Pandi.
The hair on his body became smooth after being coaxed by his wife.
While she was drinking water, he touched her hand.
I felt relieved when I saw that my hands were still warm.
The three of them walked towards the guesthouse.
Just as Chen Cuijuan said, the food is ready.
They have an exam today, and for fear of not being able to take care of the children, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan asked Zhu Fang and Fu Chunmei to help look after them.
Aunt Xia also helps take care of the children at home.
The four of them squeezed into the room where Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye slept at night, and there was just enough space.
For fear of causing stomach discomfort, Chen Cuijuan did not dare to add too much chili pepper. She only made homely dishes, such as fried meat with dried tofu, fried eggs with leeks, and a soup.
After dinner, I slept for a while, and then went to the examination room to take the exam when I woke up.
While they were sleeping, Chen Cuijuan took their clothes and shoes to the kitchen stove in the guesthouse and warmed them for a while.
Although my clothes were not wet, it was snowing outside today. After wearing my clothes and shoes for a long time, I still felt a little chilly. They were definitely not as warm as they were in the morning.
Dry it in the oven so you can wear it warmer later.
When they woke up from their nap, Chen Cuijuan had already brought the dried clothes and shoes to them.
Gu Pandi put on the dried clothes and shoes and felt warmer than in the morning.
Looking at Chen Cuijuan who was busy running around, I felt a little envious. It was great to have such a mother.
The afternoon test was about mathematics, which Gu Pandi feared the most.
It is also the subject that Shen Zhiyou attaches the most importance to.
She took the liberal arts exam and asked Zhu Fang, who told her that for liberal arts students, whether they can raise their scores depends on mathematics.
In the later stages of preparation, she focused more on mathematics and also looked at some Olympiad math questions.
When I got the test paper, I was dumbfounded.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up wildly. This is too easy!
