Liu Dongmei took a look and saw that it could indeed sleep four people. "Thank you for your help."
"What's the trouble? We are all from the same village. It's normal to help each other." Fang Guihua said quickly so as not to burden her.
A cool breeze blew, Xiu'er squinted her eyes, covered her mouth, yawned, and rubbed her eyes.
"I'll go first," Li Weimin looked at him and walked out the door in small steps.
Fang Guihua was making the bed in the room, and Liu Dongmei also went to help, but Fang Guihua waved her hand and told her to leave, not letting her make the bed.
Seeing that he was dawdling until she had made the bed and hadn't even reached the gate, he said, "If you want to go, go quickly. Why are you dawdling?"
"Oh." Li Weimin lowered his head and walked away without looking back.
As soon as he left, Li Weiguo came back and saw that the bed outside had been made. He didn't go into the inner room, but washed up and went to sleep outside.
In the inner room, Tian Xiaolan saw Wang Xiuer still concentrating on flipping through the book. She read very quickly and had already read the second half.
Tian Xiaolan interrupted her and asked, "Have you read what I told you?"
"I've read it all." Xiu'er looked up and continued turning the pages. She didn't have enough time to just glance over the ten lines.
"Go to bed." Liu Dongmei called her. After all, this was someone else's home. It was already very good that Guihua was willing to take her in. It would be too much of a benefit to use so much oil from her home.
"Okay." Xiu'er put down the book and took off her clothes.
"Don't panic, wash your face before going to bed." Fang Guihua brought out a basin of hot water from the kitchen, put it on the ground, and pulled two pieces of torn cloth from the clothesline outside and put them into the water.
"Come on! Wash up and go to bed early, so you can be in good spirits for the exam." Fang Guihua soaked the strips of cloth in a basin, took them out and wrung them hard, and water flowed out from the gaps between her fingers.
After wringing out the water, she washed their faces first, and then let them wash themselves. Aunt Dongmei scooped water into her hands and splashed it on their faces, which was considered washing, and Xiu'er did the same.
After they were all washed, the four of them slept sideways on the bed. She lay there with her eyes open, motionless. Liu Dongmei still thought it was a dream. There were actually kind-hearted people who didn't care about her family's situation and came to help her. She pinched her thigh and it hurt. It was really painful. They ate and slept in her house. She didn't know how to repay them.
Xiu'er didn't think too much and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When Fang Guihua got up to go to the bathroom, she turned around to put on her shoes and saw a pair of eyes moving. She was startled and found that it was Liu Dongmei who had not slept yet.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you thinking about your kids' exam tomorrow?" Fang Guihua bent down to cover the two children with quilts.
"Yes, I can't sleep when I think about you." Liu Dongmei looked at her and expressed her worries.
"Look how seriously she studies, she will definitely get good grades." Fang Guihua touched her eyes and helped her close them.
The next day, the crowing of roosters outside woke everyone up, and it was the day of the exam.
She got up early, had her meal, took her pen and went out. Along the way, many people stared at her and watched the two of them whispering with their heads down.
Wang Xiuer glared back at them one by one and walked faster. They came very early, but they didn't expect that there was still a circle of people standing at the school gate, all young people.
Faced with the scrutiny, Tian Xiaolan was not intimidated. She glanced around and saw Tian Xiaotong standing in the middle of the crowd. Soon, sneering sounds were heard from the crowd.
"Look at her! Can anyone come to take the exam?"
"It's because she has a good adoptive father. What a fool! He doesn't even know his own strength, yet he dares to compete with our Xiaotong!" Chen Dong said angrily without thinking.
