Chapter 194
After two consecutive days of exams, some students looked happy, some looked bitter, and some even squatted on the ground and cried loudly after coming out of the exam room after taking the last exam.
The bitter-faced comrade went over, patted the other person on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be sad. It's normal to do poorly on the exam after rushing to prepare this year. I didn't do well on the exam either. Let's work hard together next year."
The man, tears and snot streaming down his face, looked up sheepishly and sobbed, "No, I did quite well on the test. I was just lamenting that I could still walk into the examination room at the age of 29. I'm a little moved..."
The person who was comforting her froze in expression, and turned away without hesitation, looking angry.
The crying person wiped his face with his sleeve embarrassedly, sniffed, wrapped his scarf around his neck, and left with his head held high.
At Bin County No. 2 Middle School, the examination room for liberal arts was on the left, and the examination room for science was on the right. Zhou Jiani considered between the two for two days, and finally signed up for the liberal arts. She and Yu Wanxia were in the same examination room, and they went out together. Bai Haoyang came out of the classroom next door, and they all went to the flower bed in the middle of the campus to meet up with Sun Ping, Xiao Min, and Wang Qianjin.
Xiao Min, Wang Qianjin and Sun Ping applied for science majors.
These two days, three female comrades, Yu Wanxia, Sun Ping and Xiao Min, have been staying at Zhou Jiani's place.
Wang Qianjin and Bai Haoyang did not stay in the guesthouse, but in Li Jingdang's dormitory in the factory. The guesthouse was too crowded these two days. The two of them could find a place to stay, and the conditions were not bad. Of course, they would not compete with others for the few places in the guesthouse.
There was definitely not enough space for Zhou Jiani's bed, so a temporary bed was set up in the living room with wooden boards.
Bai Haoyang looked very unhappy after the exam, and Wang Qianjin's expression was not much better. However, Xiao Min and Sun Ping looked relaxed.
Yu Wanxia couldn't wait to check her answers with Zhou Jiani. Bai Haoyang bared his teeth and said, "Let's not talk about answers and test papers for now, okay? Let me relax for a while. Director Li will celebrate with us tonight."
Yu Wanxia teased him, "Did you do really badly on the test?"
Wang Qianjin: "Why don't we go back and do it as a pair? I'm really unsure about this."
Bai Haoyang couldn't resist the others and said, "Then go back and check the answers while cooking. Anyway, if we don't pass this year, we'll try harder next year..."
Sun Ping: "Pfft, pfft, pfft, that's unlucky. I'm sure I'll pass the exam. I can't let people call me a 'college student' for nothing."
Since the registration started and everyone entered the review state, the villagers didn't know who took the lead, but they started calling all the registered people "college students" and "college students" with a smile.
Everyone is called that and no one feels embarrassed, but if you fail the exam... well, it's a little embarrassing.
Several people went back in the cold wind.
Mrs. Dai watched them return and even lifted the curtain to ask, "Have all the college students finished their exams? How did you do?"
Zhou Jiani laughed. Not only in the team, but she had actually been called a "college student" recently. However, it was all good-natured teasing, and she took it as a beautiful blessing.
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "I feel good about myself, but I'll just wait for the results to be announced!"
Mrs. Dai smiled and said, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I've been waiting for a college student to emerge from our dormitory area."
Zhou Jiani smiled: "Thank you for your good wishes."
After opening the door and entering the house, Yu Wanxia muttered softly: "The team leader said that Jiani is considered a college student of our Qianjin Brigade."
Sun Ping smiled with her eyes curled up: "It's not just the team leader who thinks this way, the elders and villagers of Qianjin Brigade all think this way."
Jiani is from their advance team.
Zhou Jiani couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, hurry up and light the stove and get ready to cook. It's freezing."
Everyone came the day before the exam, and they didn't treat themselves as outsiders. Some of them were busy lighting the stove, and some of them were busy pouring water from the thermos, without Zhou Jiani having to ask them to do anything.
Zhou Jiani suggested making dumplings and stir-frying two vegetables.
The vegetables were brought by them from the Advance Brigade.
Everyone had no objection, not only did they have no objection, they also cheered loudly.
It was dark when Li Jingdang arrived. He lifted the curtain and knocked on the door. Seeing Wang Qianjin waving at him through the glass, he pushed the door open and went in. As soon as he entered, he smelled the delicious food and said with a smile, "Making dumplings!"
There is strength in numbers. While busy working, Bai Haoyang was checking the test paper. He was howling like a wolf every time he got his answers right. He howled all night. When he spoke to Li Jingdang, his voice was not straight. He said to Li Jingdang in a hoarse voice: "Old Li, why did you come so late? We have already finished making dumplings."
Li Jingdang smiled and said, "I rushed here as soon as I got off work." He raised the wine bottle, broad beans, and peanuts in his hand and said, "I wasted some time buying wine and snacks."
They cooked dumplings and fried some vegetables, and everyone ate and drank. When they were in high spirits, Wang Qianjin suddenly started singing, and Li Jingdang followed suit. Then Yu Wanxia and the others also started singing. Zhou Jiani was infected by the mood and joined in.
Fortunately, the meal time was not too late, and it was not yet time to go to bed for either side, so it would not disturb anyone.
After dinner, Li Jingdang, Wang Qianjin and Bai Haoyang were ready to leave. Zhou Jiani said she would contribute her bicycle, but the three of them, under the influence of alcohol, insisted on riding one bicycle.
There was no problem fitting three grown men on a 28-inch bicycle, but Bai Haoyang and Wang Qianjin argued over who would sit in the back and who would sit on the front beam. In the end, they used a game of scissors and a hammer to decide the winner. Bai Haoyang lost, and he consciously crawled into Comrade Li Jingdang's arms, sat on the beam, and waved to Yu Wanxia and the others aggrievedly: "Go back to the team tomorrow morning, don't get up late."
Zhou Jiani and the others laughed until their stomachs hurt. They waved as they laughed, "Be careful on the road."
The three of them staggered away, and Zhou Jiani and the others went back into the warm house.
The four girls were all awake and gathered around the stove talking.
No one knows how many of their small group will pass the exam this year and how many will fail. At this dinner tonight, although they appear to be having fun, everyone secretly feels a little sad.
Xiao Min was the most optimistic. She smiled and said, "I don't think any of the problems are big. We have all the study materials, and we're all working really hard. Sister Jiani, you might not know this, but one time, the five of us gathered together to study. No one complained of being sleepy, and no one got impatient. Then, Brother Wang suddenly yawned, and when he looked up at the clock, he realized it was already 1:30 in the morning. That time, everyone was really so engrossed in their studies that they lost track of time... We work so hard, I believe God will definitely bless us."
At the end, Xiao Min seemed to recall the sleepless study experiences of the past few days. Her eyes were slightly red, and excitement was reflected in her eyes. Her voice was choked, but firm, as if if there was one person who failed the exam, it was not a personal problem, but a problem of God!
Zhou Jiani chuckled, raised her hand and rubbed her head, saying, "I believe in your determination. In fact, when we were checking the answers, we could have roughly estimated them. When we applied, we filled out so many choices. Even if we can't get into a particularly good school, can we still not get into a slightly inferior one?"
Although Zhou Jiani did not take the college entrance examination in her previous life, she vaguely heard that the number of people who passed the exam from the Qianjin Brigade was not that many.
There are many people who sign up, but not many pass.
She always felt that in this life, she would surpass the number of people in the previous life because this life had all the information.
If we can produce a few more college students and add a few more talents to the country, it would be worth it.
The next day, after seeing off Yu Wanxia and the others, Zhou Jiani returned to her unit to handle a day's work. She felt a little lost when she returned to the dormitory at night.
I usually read and study, and I'm used to this rhythm. After the college entrance examination, I suddenly don't know what to do.
I ate something quick and started sitting by the stove, browsing my phone.
I was busy studying some time ago and didn’t pay attention to the activities in the group. Now the tension I have been feeling for many days seems to have found an outlet, and I have been shopping all night.
Not only did she shop, she also thought about going to Zhao Hai in a few days to ask him to order another batch of rice noodles. She had been busy reviewing recently and hadn't started a group order for a long time.
“It’s snowing!”
One of the neighbors outside sighed. Zhou Jiani walked to the window and looked out. Heavy snow was falling like goose feathers. Zhou Jiani couldn't help but smile. She felt that God was really considerate. Although it was cold before the college entrance examination, it was sunny for several days in a row, and it snowed right after the college entrance examination.
She sat back down, feeling warmed by the fire. She was just hesitating whether to grab a bottle of drink when someone knocked on her door. "Team Leader Zhou!"
It’s Secretary Song from next door.
Zhou Jiani opened the door: "Secretary Song?"
Secretary Song didn't come out of his own house. He just came back from outside the dormitory and said, "Someone is looking for you at the gate. They say it's your boyfriend..."
Suddenly, Zhou Jiani's mind seemed to be ignited for a moment, and her voice seemed to be slightly distorted: "Who?"
Secretary Song: "Your partner said his last name is Qiu..."
Zhou Jiani could no longer hear what was said afterwards. She also forgot how she thanked Secretary Song, and how she rushed out. She ran all the way until she remembered halfway that she might not have closed the door. If she hadn't closed the door, all the enthusiasm would have been gone.
Of course, she didn't worry about whether the things in the house would be stolen, because she only had basic daily necessities in her house, and she was used to keeping other things on the warehouse shelves.
Thinking of this, I felt a little annoyed that I forgot to take some fruits from the shelf just now, and I also forgot when I bought ready-made dumplings and steamed buns from the restaurant. What if Qiu Zeming didn’t eat?
Going back... going back would waste some time, and her partner would have to wait a few more minutes at the gate in the wind and snow.
I was thinking about all sorts of things along the way, but my body was the most honest, and I ran to the dormitory door without stopping.
With the dim light in the message room, she could see the person standing there from a distance.
Wearing a thick Lei Feng hat, a crisp military coat, and carrying a bag, he looked like a pine tree in the snow. His gentle eyes smiled warmly at her through the falling snowflakes: "Jiani!"
Zhou Jiani felt a lump in her throat and she took a deep breath to control herself from rushing over.
"What time did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up..." Zhou Jiani said in a soft voice.
Qiu Zeming took a step forward and was about to speak when the security guard next to him poked his head out in a rather unpleasant manner and said, "Team Leader Zhou, is she your girlfriend?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the young man next to him. Where did Team Leader Zhou get this guy? He is so handsome that even an old man like him couldn't help but look at him several times.
Zhou Jiani smiled and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, it's my boyfriend, Uncle Liu. I'll take my boyfriend in first."
Uncle Liu nodded, and hesitated for several seconds before finally asking cryptically, "Which guesthouse are you staying at, young man? Don't go back too late or it'll be closed."
Qiu Zeming said politely, "Sir, I'll be leaving in a moment."
Uncle Liu coughed uncomfortably a few times and said, "Then go back and warm up."
Zhou Jiani restrained herself from going over to hold Qiu Zeming's arm. She smiled and said, "Let's go back to the dormitory first."
"Okay!" Qiu Zeming nodded. He took two steps, and Zhou Jiani's expression changed slightly. She didn't care about the conservative atmosphere anymore. She quickly walked over and held his arm, her voice unconsciously tense, "What's wrong with your leg?"
No matter how slowly Qiu Zeming walked, Zhou Jiani still noticed something was wrong. He was injured!
Qiu Zeming smiled and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little numb after standing for so long."
Zhou Jiani's tears fell down her cheeks: "You are still trying to scare me, it's not like I can't see it."
Qiu Zeming smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, it won't be a big deal."
He should have actually recuperated at home for a few more days, but he really couldn't hold his temper. If he hadn't considered that Jiani was going to take the college entrance examination and was worried about affecting her mood, he would have come here impatiently a few days ago.
"It's really okay now."
Qiu Zeming's heart ached at his partner's tears, and he said hurriedly, "Really? Believe me, for our future, I can't joke with my body."
Zhou Jiani believed it for the time being and helped him slowly back to the dormitory.
As she approached, she saw several faces lined up in front of the window of Dai's house next door. Zhou Jiani chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Sister Dai came out with a chuckle, and glanced at Qiu Zeming with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She said, "Oh, your partner is really good-looking."
Zhou Jiani hurriedly introduced Qiu Zeming: "This is Sister Dai."
Qiu Zeming: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"This is my boyfriend Qiu Zeming."
Sister Dai smiled repeatedly and said, "Hello, Comrade Qiu." Then she quickly turned around and walked back to her home, saying, "I won't bother you two anymore. I'm just curious, hahaha."
Zhou Jiani brought Qiu Zeming into the house through the curtain. As expected, she did not close the door, but fortunately, the room was blocked by a thick cotton curtain, so it was still warm.
As soon as the door closed, Zhou Jiani turned around and wanted to help Qiu Zeming brush the snow off his body, but he was held tightly in her arms. They greedily absorbed each other's breath. Through the thick cotton clothes, the two hearts that had not been close for a long time were beating randomly like a broken rhythm.
