Chapter 154 Chapter 154 The college entrance examination is over.
From the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination to the actual examination, it took less than two months in total. The time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it is December.
These days, I can hear people wailing from time to time in the yard. Why is the exam on the 18th? Why can't you give me more time?
This amount of time is totally not enough to review! !
Actually, to be honest, the exam on the 18th in their province is not too early. Some provinces take the exam even earlier, starting at the end of November, which only gives people a month to prepare. Many people have to take the exam before they have even finished reading the book.
No matter what, time waits for no one.
In such an atmosphere, as the days passed, some people became visibly more nervous and anxious, feeling that they had not reviewed enough and were afraid that they would not do well in the exam. Others felt that the sooner they died, the sooner they would be reborn, and the sooner they took the exam, the sooner they would be liberated, and they wanted to finish the exam quickly.
As for the anxiety before the exam, there are all kinds of emotions.
Mu Mian and Nie Sihui were relatively stable, mainly because Mu Mian was stable. After all, she had taken countless exams, big and small, including the college entrance examination.
Nie Sihui was not so nervous because she was being taken care of by her sister-in-law. She studied quietly and seriously every day.
The days in early December passed by almost in the blink of an eye.
The countdown to the college entrance examination has entered the single digits. As the examination sessions are allocated, it is time to start filling out the application form.
These days, the college entrance examination requires candidates to fill out their application forms before taking the exam. This application form alone makes the candidates feel overwhelmed for a long time, because they have no idea how they will perform in the actual exam. This really tests their mentality.
Mu Mian didn't think too much about it and clearly filled in Capital University as his first choice. Although it was a bit risky, after all, it was the best university in the country, but how would he know if he didn't try?
If she tries hard, the bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle, and she still has some confidence in herself.
Nie Sihui's strong point is science, so she applied to all science and engineering schools, as well as normal colleges. It is still unknown which one she will be admitted to in the end, so she has to take the exam first.
On the 17th, the old lady prepared two carps for dinner.
When Wen Zhan and Mu Zhuo came back from training, Mu Mian and Nie Sihui, the sister-in-law, had just finished checking and filling in the gaps and came over from next door.
These days they study in the second bedroom of Room 202, which is quiet and undisturbed. The children usually play in Room 201 or run around outside with their elders.
In the living room.
Mu Fugui called out in a loud voice, "Come and eat, I made this fish especially for you."
Mu Mian came over and asked, "What happened? Dad, did you and Uncle You go fishing this afternoon?"
The rivers in Ningzhang City do not freeze in winter, so theoretically you can fish there, but it depends on your luck and the chances of catching one are relatively small.
Liu Shuangcui laughed out loud, "Where else could it have come from? I exchanged it with someone else. You don't know your father. He doesn't have the patience. If he sits still for half an hour, he's like there's a nail on his butt."
Mu Fugui said carelessly, "Hey, it's all the same, old lobbying, you have to eat carp before the exam, this is called the carp leaping over the dragon gate."
Mu Zhuo laughed, "So we still have to eat pig's trotters."
Mu Fugui said seriously, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Zhuo: "I passed the imperial examination."
Mu Fugui looked at Mu Zhuo with an expression that said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "It's too late to cook the pig's trotters now!"
The old lady said: "It's too late to do it. How about we see if we can make one tomorrow?"
At the dinner table, Mu Mian took a bite of the fish head and said, "Grandma, don't bother with this. Just do it the same way you normally do it these two days. There are so many ways to get a good omen, and it's impossible to do everything."
Mu Fugui looked curious, "Anything else to say?"
Mu Mian opened his mouth and said, "For example, wearing a vest cheongsam or something, which means immediate success..."
Xixi's mind worked quickly, and she answered the second half of the sentence, "There's also the term 'winning the first battle', right?"
Mu Mian: “Yeah.”
Mu Fugui was very interested. "This is great, this is great. The cheongsam is not good, but we have a waistcoat. Let's wear them tomorrow!"
Liu Shuangcui said with a smile: "You act like you are going to take an exam."
Mu Fugui: "You know what, I'm even more nervous than if I were on stage myself. My heart is pounding right now. If I wasn't afraid of what others would say, I would really want to go find a Bodhisattva to pray to."
Although the atmosphere is not so tense now, everyone is still very low-key and dares not to show off.
Mu Mian laughed, "Dad, you will have a lot of fun in the future. Xixi and the others will have to take exams too."
Xixi: "Don't be nervous, we are all destined to be college students!"
Mu Fugui: "Hahahaha great, let's all be college students."
The evening passed quickly. Mu Mian no longer rushed to read. After checking the things he would need for the exam, he closed his bag.
By this time Wen Chen had already washed Xin Xin, and Mu Mian was almost done as well, planning to go to bed early.
The light in the bedroom was on. Little Xinxin was lying on the bed reading a book. When she heard footsteps at the door, the little girl quickly crawled into the bed like a kitten.
As soon as Mu Mian entered the room, he saw a small bulge in the quilt on the bed. It was so cute. A two-year-old boy was at the age when he loved playing hide-and-seek.
Mu Mian pulled the quilt casually, then shouted outside with a smile, "Fourth brother, where is Xinxin? Why didn't I see her?"
The tone was very deliberate.
Wen Chen was using coal ash to cover the fire in the stove in the living room, so that the coal would not burn out or go out completely, making it easier to light a fire the next day and the house would not be cold at night.
Eleven has now skillfully bitten its way over to its nest and laid down. It likes to sleep next to the stove at night because the temperature is just right. When the fire is burning brightly during the day, it feels hot and scalding when it gets close to it.
The child's father obviously had no acting talent, and his tone was more deliberate, "No? I just saw that he was still in the house."
Mu Mian: "It's over. Did Eleven hide?"
Eleven didn't even raise his head, just adjusted himself to a comfortable sleeping position. It was obvious that he was familiar with this routine and was as steady as an old dog.
As soon as Mu Mian finished speaking, the little bulge in the quilt began to move towards the bed.
Mu Mian almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
The next second, a small round face popped out from under the quilt, and the kitten poked its head out, "I'm here~"
Mu Mian had an exaggerated look of surprise on his face. "Oh, it's actually here. Where did you hide just now?"
Xinxin sat up and patted the bed, smiling, "Behind the quilt~"
Mu Mian: "Oh, I haven't found my mother yet."
As he spoke, Mu Mian took off his coat, pulled his daughter over and laid her down. The little girl, wearing pink long underwear and long trousers, lay on Mu Mian's stomach like a little piglet.
Xinxin put her little arms around her mother's neck and rested her little face on Mu Mian's neck. The mother and daughter were very intimate.
Mu Mian patted Xinxin's back from time to time, "Mommy will read to you, okay?"
Xinxin hugged him tightly and refused to let go, "Daddy is thinking~"
Wen Chen had just finished cleaning up and came in. He picked up the book that Xinxin had placed on the bed in front of him.
Mom and Dad together
The effect of coaxing the little girl to sleep was very significant. She fell asleep in less than five minutes. Mu Mian put her on the crib, and Wen Chen turned off the light.
In the darkness, the big hand patted his daughter-in-law's back from time to time as if coaxing a child.
Mu Mian was really not nervous. She had never suffered from insomnia before an exam. After the two of them leaned against each other and chatted for a while, she started yawning and soon fell asleep in the warm quilt.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day was a good day, and the families with candidates were busy early. When Mu Mian went to the next door, she found that her parents were wearing vests under their coats, which put their goal of achieving success immediately into practice.
Liu Shuangcui said in a hurry, "You two should eat quickly. I'll go to the gate first to prevent the car from leaving."
Mu Mian: "Not so early, and we have to wait until everyone is gathered."
Liu Shuangcui: "Then I'll go and save a seat for you inside, where there's no wind."
There are many people registering in the family compound, and the examination venues are all in the city. The Logistics Department will free up two vehicles in the next two days to specifically transport the candidates.
By the time Mu Mian and her sister-in-law finished their meal and arrived at the gate, there were already quite a few people there.
The logistics department's vehicle is the kind with a large cargo bed, which is covered with thick curtains on three sides, with only the rear end being open.
Liu Shuangcui leaned forward and reached out to Mu Mian, "Come up quickly."
Mu Mian: “Here I come!”
Ge Xiuqing beside him helped out. The car was full of candidates and their accompanying family members, and it was very lively.
The old couple of the Mu family went along.
The vehicle was almost arriving in the city. Mu Mian and her sister-in-law's examination rooms were both at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Not long after they arrived, the staff informed them that they could enter the examination room.
The candidates went in one by one, leaving their accompanying parents pacing back and forth outside.
The aunt and sister-in-law walked hand in hand in the crowd. There was a huge group of people of all ages, and most of them had not been to campus for a long time.
The aunt and sister-in-law were not taking the exam in the same classroom. Before they separated, Nie Sihui held Mu Mian's hand for a long time.
A sister-in-law who was traveling with us glanced over here, not understanding what was going on. "Sihui, are you cold?"
Nie Sihui: "No, no, it's not cold."
She was just lucky, her Xiaomian is a little golden hand!
After Xiao Jinshou separated from his sister-in-law, he went upstairs. There was no one he knew in the classroom. After Mu Mian took his stationery, he stared out the window for a few seconds.
Some people were reciting the text in a low voice, while others were discussing it with friends they knew.
As the invigilator entered the classroom, it gradually became quiet. When the papers were distributed and the bell rang, the only sound left was the rustling of writing.
Mu Mian calmly wrote down her name and test number, then scanned the test paper from beginning to end before she started writing. The test questions were simpler than she had imagined.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when the bell rang again, the invigilator at the podium said loudly, "The test is over, stop writing."
Regardless of whether the papers were finished or not, they were collected.
The crowd began to walk out. The weather was really good today, and the bright sun made people feel warm.
The old couple Mu Fugui came up to Mu Mian and the others with thermos cups in their hands. They didn't ask how they did on the exam, "Come on, drink some hot water to warm yourself up. There's no stove in the classroom. Are your hands cold after sitting for so long?"
Mu Mian held the cup and took two gulps. "My hands are warm now, and the classroom isn't that cold."
Nie Sihui: "My exam room is next to Xiao Mian's, so the sun can shine in."
Mu Fugui stretched out his hand and shook it. His daughter's hand was indeed warm. "God, please give me some face. It's so cold. If my hands were cold, I would have written slowly."
It was really very considerate of them to give it for two days.
The next day was still a sunny day, and everyone completed the last exam in warmth.
