Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Final Exam.
The brigade primary school’s holiday time is in mid-July.
Some children still take exams very seriously. After all, where there are people, there is competition.
You have to take it seriously. If you bring back two failing papers, you will probably be treated to a meal of fried pork with bamboo sticks.
Xu Lele is the only girl in the family and is quite spoiled.
Otherwise, this little girl wouldn't be so tough, often saying that it doesn't hurt when her mother spanks her.
It's not that it doesn't hurt, it's just that I can't bear to hit you.
For Xu Lele, there is no necessary connection between getting beaten or not and not wanting to take the exam.
She didn't like being beaten or not.
But even if you don't like it, you still have to take the test.
Mu Mian didn't gossip with Shi Xiaolian anymore, and prepared to go back with the bottle and shovel.
Half a bottle of earthworms is enough for her hens to eat for a meal.
Xu Lele didn't dig much, but he did pick a handful of wild flowers.
The little girl was just worried about not wanting to take the exam, but now she started chattering again, putting the wild flowers behind her ears and shaking her head, "Sister Mianmian, does this look good?"
Mu Mian nodded, "Yeah, it looks good."
Then, she also received two flowers, which were put on her by her younger sister herself.
The two men, with flowers on their ears, met Nie Sihui on the way.
Mu Mian waved his hand, "Nie Zhiqing, are you here to fetch water again?"
Nie Sihui looked much better than yesterday. She was covered in dust and dirt yesterday, but today, when you looked closer, her face looked much whiter.
She was carrying a bucket, "There's a lot of things to clean up and wash, and a lot of places that use water, what are you doing here?"
Although the other person was a little girl, Nie Sihui didn't know why, but she felt that she could talk to her.
Compared with the strange aunts, this little girl made her feel more relaxed and comfortable, and she unconsciously wanted to say a few more words.
She attributed all this to the fact that the little girl was really smart and pretty. When she first saw her yesterday afternoon, she thought she was a city kid visiting relatives in the countryside.
The little girl has a round face and is very cute, especially her eyes, which are dark and sparkling.
At first glance, he is a well-behaved child, and he really makes people happy when they see him.
Nie Sihui was just thinking this when the next second she saw this well-behaved child holding up a bottle with densely packed earthworms wriggling inside, and there seemed to be other insects as well.
A childish voice followed, "Digging earthworms to feed the chickens."
Nie Sihui, who didn't see it clearly just now, now saw it clearly. Her pupils shrank slightly and she silently took half a step back.
Mu Mian understood that this person was afraid of insects, so she silently put the bottle behind her.
Nie Sihui breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
When the educated youth first arrived, they had to buy a lot of things. In addition to daily necessities, they also had to borrow food from the brigade and establish food relations.
So the three of them just chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways.
It was almost dusk when Nie Sihui came to Mu Mian's house again. At that moment, Mu Mian was reading in the house with Xu Lele.
Then I heard Nie Sihui talking to her grandmother outside. They came to exchange things and wanted mats, straw hats and other things.
The educated youth from the city would not be able to make these things, but every household in the countryside has them.
Zhao Meihua symbolically accepted some candy, and Nie Sihui wanted to give her a ticket, but the old lady refused.
Finally, the candy fell into Mu Mian's pocket, and she shared it with Xiao Chengzi, Mu Wan and others.

Two days passed quietly and it was time for the exam.
The school didn't come up with any special rules; it was just like any other class, very casual.
The questions were so simple that Mu Mian finished the test in five minutes and got two full marks.
Because of this exam, Mu Mian caused a bit of a sensation.
It wasn't because she got two full marks in the second-grade final exam, but because Shi Xiaozhu suddenly had the urge to ask Mu Mian if she wanted to do the third and fourth grade exams on the day the papers were distributed.
Mu Mian thought about it for two seconds, felt that this didn't seem to be particularly ostentatious, and then did it.
The result was that I got four full marks again.
Parents who were still worried about their children failing the exams were shocked when they saw this. Some asked how Mu Mian learned, and some discussed how Liu Shuangcui, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, educated their child.
Finally, these discussions reached a new level after two days, because the villagers heard that Shi Xiaolian could also solve the third grade problems.
This is even more incredible. Shi Xiaolian has never even been to school, but she has learned so much just by learning from her sister at home.
Then……
Those kids who failed the exam, and those who ranked last in the exam, got another wave of bruises on their butts.
Children who have been to school are also smart. When their parents say that they don’t study hard, they also feel that it is unfair for them to have their butts bruised.
They hid and shouted at the same time, saying that it was obviously their parents who made them smart, and they did not do well in the exams because they were not born well.
It’s true, some of my fellow villagers also think so.
Shi Xingfu used to be a capable man, and this was something the entire brigade knew.
As for Mu Mian's family, although Mu Fugui and Liu Shuangcui are the type who get headaches when they read books, there is still her elder brother in front of her. Mu Zhuo is a reader.
I went to high school.
When you think about it this way, it makes perfect sense.
Smart parents give birth to smart children.
In the end, just as Mu Mian had imagined, the villagers' discussions only lasted for a few days, not even as long as the last incident at Shi Xinggui's house.
After all, this matter is fresh but not strange. It's not like he was admitted to university at the age of seven or eight.
The same thing happens when Shi Xiaolian is added in.
However, Mu Mian did not expect that Shi Xiaolian had also done something secretly. It can only be said that people with similar experiences can have the same brain circuits.
We can communicate together tomorrow.
Now, after the villagers' discussions died down, the Mu family had a rather important matter on the agenda.
To be precise, it has little to do with Mu Mian, it is a matter concerning her fourth uncle's family.
That is... her cousin Mu Qiu is going to take the junior high school entrance exam.
These days, the high school entrance examination has not been unified, and each school arranges and organizes it on its own.
There are not many people in the team who want to take the exam, just a few.
More parents and students themselves think that recognizing a word is enough, and they won’t be able to read anything further.
Not only was money wasted, but the family also lost a laborer while I was studying, and those were all work points.
What's more, it's not easy to find a job in the city. There is only a limited number of job positions. Some people who graduate from junior high school or high school can't find a job.
The Mu family supports their children reading more books.
The old lady often said that if you can study but don't, then if there is a job opportunity in the future and they have academic requirements, you will just be watching in vain.
In short, read more books and you will have more options.
Mu Qiu herself naturally wanted to continue reading. Mu Mian would often see her cousin with some notes on a piece of paper in her pocket while she was working, and she looked very serious.
The commune’s junior high school entrance exam was in the morning, and the brigade was some distance away from the commune, so if we wanted to walk there, we had to set off early.
Mu Qiu could leave later, as Mu Fugui now had a bicycle that could just take her there.
For this day, Mu Fugui even took half a day off.
In fact, it would be fine to let Mu Xingwang deliver the ride, but Mu Fugui was afraid that his fourth brother's skills were not good enough, and it would be terrible if his eldest niece dropped him on the way.
It would be even more disastrous if I fell on my right hand. I wouldn't be able to write at all, so how could I take the exam?
In Mu Fugui's words, among the three brothers, he is the most intelligent and physically flexible, and the fourth and fifth brothers are slightly inferior to him.
In response to this, the Mu Xinglong brothers both rolled their eyes.

On the morning of the exam, Mu Qiu came to Mu Mian's house early.
The family of four was having dinner. The old lady looked at her eldest granddaughter and asked, "Why are you here so early? Have you eaten yet?"
Mu Qiu nodded, "I ate it. Mom cooked eggs for me."
Mu Fugui picked up a corn cake and handed it to his niece. "Eat some more. Don't worry. I will definitely deliver it to you on time."
Mu Qiu shook his head, "Uncle, you eat it. I can't eat anymore."
Mu Fugui stuffed the pancake into his mouth in two or three bites. "Then sit down for a while. Have you brought everything?"
Mu Qiu sat down next to Mu Mian and patted his schoolbag. "It's all ready. I checked it specially."
Actually there is nothing much, just the registration form and a pen.
Mu Mian was almost done eating, with only a little soup left in the bowl. She had just put the bowl down when she saw her cousin picking at her schoolbag with her fingers unconsciously, and it was obvious that she was getting nervous.
Mu Mian pulled the hand and said, "Sister Xiaoqiu, you will be fine. Don't worry!"
As he spoke, he took Mu Qiu's hand and placed it on her head, "I'll give you some good fortune. Everything will be smooth sailing from beginning to end. Grandma said, I have good fortune in the future."
"Listen to your grandma and rub her more. As the saying goes, listen to your grandma and happiness will come!"
"puff!"
“Ahem…”
The three adults who hadn't finished eating laughed out loud. Mu Qiu also laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. "Why haven't I heard of this saying before?"
Mu Mian: "It's normal that I haven't heard it before, because I made it up."
Mu Qiu's hand slid down and pinched his little cousin's face. The face felt much better than the head, and he usually didn't allow it to be pinched.
Mu Mian’s mouth instantly turned into a goldfish’s, “………………”
Okay, her sister has an exam today.
Just sacrifice it.
---
I don’t know if Mu Mian’s relaxation before the exam really worked.
In the afternoon, when Mu Qiu came back from the exam, he was in high spirits and said the questions were quite simple.
The results came out very quickly. The transcripts were posted after just two days.
Mu Qiu ranked among the top and scored very high.
There were only two people in the team who passed the exam. Besides her, the other one was Xu Lele’s second brother Xu Zhiyong.
It is of course a happy thing for a child to be admitted to junior high school.
That night, my family had a small gathering. There was no meat dish, so we just fried some eggs.
Mu Wan quickly snatched a large piece from under his brother's chopsticks, his whole face full of smugness, "Hehe, you're not as quick as me!"
Bones puffed up.
Tang Cuixiang couldn't help but mutter, "You keep staring at those two bites of food every day. When will you be able to compete with your sister to see who has a faster brain."
Mu Wan was very confident, "There's no comparison. My sister's head is round, so she can think quickly. My head is not as good, it's a bit flat."
He showed it to everyone and said, "Look, isn't it flat? You must have been not paying attention when I was a kid and my head got caught in the door, so it's not enough now."
The ten-year-old girl was seriously analyzing the reasons for her poor academic performance, but was amused by Mu Mian and choked. She patted her chest and coughed violently.
Tang Cuixiang's expression was not clear, "That's obviously what you did when you slept!"
Mu Wan touched his head and said, "Really? I thought I was caught in the door."
For a while, there was constant laughter at the table, and finally the meal ended...
There is a discussion about whether people with round heads or flat heads are smarter.
The whole family was chattering, but no one could make any conclusion.
