He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou spent dozens of days studying test papers and finally waited for the day of the college entrance examination.
Before the college entrance examination, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou packed some clothes, took their admission tickets and pens, and went to the commune two days in advance.
During the days in the commune, I would live in the guesthouse, study hard and wait for the exam.
However, before going to the commune, we have to make arrangements for Tangyuan. After all, although Tangyuan is sensible, he is still a child of three years old. It is impossible to leave him alone at home.
Moreover, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou could not bring Tangyuan to the commune. No one would be with Tangyuan when they were taking the exam, and they were worried about leaving a child in the guesthouse.
So after much thought, I could only ask the team leader for help, so I took some pastries to the team leader's house. The team leader was also happy to take care of Tangyuan these days. After all, Tangyuan was good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, and he liked this child very much.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu and the others took the things needed for Tangyuan and the food they needed to eat, and also gave some tickets to the team leader.
Then He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou talked to Tangyuan for a while, and then told him to tell the captain if he had any problems, and not to worry about the trouble, because when his parents come back, they will thank the captain.
Then Tangyuan nodded with red eyes. He had never been separated from his parents for so long.
Tangyuan couldn't be happy at all when he thought about not being able to see his parents for several days.
But he also knew that his parents were going to take exams, and although he was reluctant, he still followed the team leader obediently.
He Xianqiu looked at Tangyuan's small back and felt a little sad. The baby had grown up but had never been separated from them for so long.
Ji Chenzhou looked at He Xianqiu with red eyes. He patted her back soothingly, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"You can see Tang Yuan after the exam. Then I'll bring him his favorite braised pork ribs."
He Xianqiu felt better after hearing Ji Chenzhou's words, and then he and Ji Chenzhou got in the car and left.
After arriving at the commune, I immediately booked a guesthouse close to the test site.
Fortunately, they booked early. Some people arrived late and there were no rooms left. Then they started offering high prices to change the booked rooms.
They also knocked on the doors of each room and asked if anyone was willing to give up their room.
The room where He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou lived was also knocked on. When he first saw the first person asking, Ji Chenzhou patiently refused.
But people kept knocking on the door, asking if they could give up their rooms and offering them high prices, so Ji Chenzhou lost his patience.
It really affected his and He Xianqiu's review. Just as they were writing some difficult questions, someone knocked on the door, disrupting their thoughts.
Later, he simply took out a piece of paper, on which he rejected the Gao family's offer of meal, and then gave some suggestions.
Instead of wasting time knocking on doors, you might as well find a new hotel or a fellow villager's home to stay in.
Then quickly review the content. Time waits for no one and it is very tight. I hope everyone can cherish the remaining review time.
As expected, no one knocked on the door anymore after that. After all, it was a waste of review time. The smart ones would have found a new place to live immediately.
After two full days of reviewing in the guesthouse, the exam finally arrived.
At the beginning of that day, after He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou finished their breakfast, they still had some time left, so they went to the examination site to wait. Not long after, the examination room opened, and He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou separated.
The first subject of the exam was Chinese, which was He Xianqiu's best subject. She wrote very quickly and checked the content immediately after finishing.
When the invigilator saw He Xianqiu writing so fast, he thought she didn't know how to write and just filled in the form randomly. But seeing how quickly He Xianqiu was writing, he couldn't help but walk over to He Xianqiu out of curiosity.
Then he looked at He Xianqiu's beautiful handwriting, which was not scribbled but all correct answers. He couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking that this female comrade had a solid foundation.
When there were only fifteen minutes left, He Xianqiu handed in his paper and left early. After all, he had already finished writing and checking it, and he was also in a daze in the examination room, so he left early.
When people in the same examination room saw her leave early, they all looked at her sideways, then hurriedly lowered their heads to continue writing their test papers.
After He Xianqiu came out, she went to the place where she was going to meet Ji Chenzhou. Then she saw Ji Chenzhou coming towards her, and she immediately walked towards him.
"Zhou Zhou, we have plenty of time now. Let's go eat first and then take a nap."
Ji Chenzhou nodded, then took He Xianqiu's hand and went to the state-owned restaurant. He didn't let go of his hand until they got to a crowded place.
After that, they ordered some dishes, including fried bamboo shoots with meat, which they had never tried before. They tasted it and found it delicious. The bamboo shoots were very crispy and tasted very fresh, which whetted their appetite.
He Xianqiu ate while sighing, "This bamboo shoot fried with meat is delicious. When we're done, I'll buy some for my son to eat at home. He's sure he'll like it."
"Okay, I'll buy another portion of fried bamboo shoots with pork for Tangyuan. If you like it, eat more." Ji Chenzhou smiled as he served some to He Xianqiu.
He Xianqiu nodded, and then continued to eat the fried pork and bamboo shoots in the bowl.
After eating, the two walked back to the guesthouse for a nap. After all, they had other subjects to take in the afternoon, and they had to get enough sleep to stay energetic.
Then I got up in the afternoon and arrived at the test site some time in advance to wait for the exam. The afternoon exam was politics.
He Xianqiu was quite adept at liberal arts, and having been in this era for several years, she was familiar with what to write about at the moment. Besides, she had reviewed it thoroughly.
The next day, she took exams in several subjects. He Xianqiu still wrote them with ease, but the last math question was quite difficult. She calculated it for a long time. This time, she obediently followed the rest of the group and left the examination room.
Later in the afternoon, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou finished their last subject and it was finally over.
After leaving the examination room, many people were checking their answers. Some were very happy that they got them right, while some burst into tears when they realized they had made mistakes.
After leaving the examination room, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou did not check their answers specifically. They had already gotten the points they were supposed to get, and they estimated that their scores were quite good.
Moreover, there is a taboo in the exam, which is that you cannot check the answers before the end of the exam, otherwise your mentality will easily collapse, so He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou never discussed it during the exam.
So now that all the exams were over, He Xianqiu dared to discuss some difficult questions with Ji Chenzhou, and he didn't talk about this topic anymore.
Now that the exams are over, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou can go back to Qinggang Brigade. They miss Tangyuan very much as they haven't seen their little friend for several days.
But before going home, they went to the National Hotel to buy the dishes that Tangyuan liked, as well as the fried pork with bamboo shoots that He Xianqiu wanted to bring for Tangyuan.
However, in order to thank the captain for taking care of Tangyuan, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou brought an extra dish to the captain, thanking him for taking care of Tangyuan so that they could take the exam with peace of mind.
Then they hurriedly took the food to the guesthouse, and after packing their clothes they couldn't wait to return to Qinggang Brigade.
When they arrived at the Qinggang Brigade, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou did not go home directly, but went directly to the brigade leader's house.
As soon as he arrived at the captain's house, He Xianqiu couldn't help but shout, "Tangyuan, mom and dad are back."
Tangyuan in the room heard He Xianqiu's voice, immediately put down the toys in his hands, and ran out with his short legs.
Then after seeing He Xianqiu, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Mom, you're back. Tangyuan missed you so much."
As she spoke, she ran towards He Xianqiu, and then He Xianqiu squatted down, hugged Tang Yuan, and kissed him: "Mom misses you too."
Then, the mother and son hugged for a while, and Tangyuan turned to Ji Chenzhou next to him and gave him a big hug, "Dad Tangyuan missed you too."
Ji Chenzhou picked him up, kissed his forehead and said gently, "Dad misses you too."
The captain who heard the noise and came out did not disturb the family of three, but watched quietly from the side.
After a while, Ji Chenzhou and He Xianqiu took Tangyuan's hand and walked to the captain, thanking him for his care over the past few days.
"Captain, thank you for taking care of Tangyuan these days. This is a small token of our appreciation."
Ji Chenzhou took a few boxes of vegetables from his backpack, but the captain did not take them. He just smiled and waved his hand, then refused, "Don't be polite, no need, keep them for yourself."
But Ji Chenzhou shook his head and handed it to the captain firmly, "Captain, this is a gift from us, just take it and give it to Hu Zi."
Seeing Ji Chenzhou say this, the captain took it and said, "Then I'll take it, but don't leave yet, I'll go in and change the lunch box."
After a while, the captain took out the cleaned lunch box and held some sausages in his other hand. "Take these sausages."
Ji Chenzhou waved his hand and refused, "How can that be possible? Please keep it for yourself."
But the captain was very firm: "You guys take it. You brought me so many meat dishes. I will feel bad if I don't accept them."
When the captain moved the dishes to their plates, he saw that He Xianqiu and the others had given them so many meat dishes, which cost a lot of money and tickets.
Moreover, they asked him to help take care of the child Tangyuan and also gave him some things, so he didn't need to buy anything else.
So the captain had to make He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou accept the sausages no matter what.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou accepted the sausage reluctantly after hearing what the captain said. The captain must have been reluctant to eat it, so he kept it until now. After all, he couldn't get much meat in a year.
The captain's family had some sausages, but they were reluctant to eat them, so they kept them for so long. That's why He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were unwilling to accept them.
But seeing that the captain insisted that they accept it, as it was also his intention, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou accepted it.
After that, they talked with the captain for a while, and the family of three left. When they left, Tang Yuan smiled and said to the captain: "Captain Grandpa, goodbye."
Then the captain said goodbye cheerfully and went into the house.
Many people in the room were waiting for the captain, waiting for him to come back and serve the hot dishes. After all, He Xianqiu and the others had sent a lot of meat dishes, and everyone hadn't eaten so many meat dishes yet, so they were all looking forward to it.
After the team leader came in, the whole family started to eat. While eating, they couldn't help but talk about He Xianqiu, Ji Chenzhou and others, and then talked about the Ji family.
"The same goes for Old Man Ji and Old Lady Ji. No matter what, Chen Zhou is still his child. No matter how much he dislikes him, it would be nice for them to help take care of the child when they have something to do. Besides, the young couple still gives them five dollars a month."
The person who said this was the daughter-in-law of the captain's eldest son, and when she said this she couldn't help but feel that the Ji family was not kind.
The captain's wife glanced at her and said, "It is because of them that the young couple dare not let Tangyuan go, for fear that Tangyuan would be bullied, so they have to trouble others. But I have to say, they are really dishonest. They took the money and still wanted to make trouble all day long."
The captain sighed, because he thought that Ji Chenzhou ate very well except when his grandparents were alive, but it was really not the same when he was with his parents, as his father didn't love him and his mother didn't care about him.
Fortunately, now all the hard work has paid off. I am married, have a beautiful child, and have my own little family.
