Chapter 185 The weather is not good
Time passed day by day, and the exam day was approaching. Qiao Mo and his friends were all at the Ningwu No. 1 Middle School exam site in the county seat. Dongshan Village was too far from the county seat, so Qiao Mo, Tang Xinmei, and Chen Ran had to go to the county seat a day in advance and booked two rooms in the guesthouse: one for the three women and one for the two men.
"Momo, let's go see the examination room." After settling down, Chen Ran took Qiao Mo to see the examination room.
"Let's go too." Tang Xinmei and Wang Jiaming said in unison.
A few people walked towards Wuning No. 1 Middle School in a mighty procession against the cold north wind. Perhaps it was because people in this era were very cautious, or perhaps it was because everyone attached great importance to this exam. Along the way, they were all going to Wuning No. 1 Middle School to see the candidates in the examination room. They didn't even need to ask for directions, they just followed several local candidates into Wuning No. 1 Middle School, found their own examination room, and looked at the surrounding environment before they came out with peace of mind.
"It's almost dinner time. Where are we going to eat?" It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Qiao Mo came out of Wuning No. 1 Middle School.
"Let's go to the state-owned hotel. There are too many people in the guesthouse today." Wang Jiaming hesitated for a moment and said, not only is the guesthouse full of people today, but many rooms are also packed. Most of them are young people who are here to take exams. Many of them will stay there to eat. They don't know if they will have food to eat if they go back now.
"Then let's go quickly. If we go too late, I'm afraid there will be no food to eat." There are only two places in the county where food can be eaten, and they are all rationed. They will not increase the supply just because there are so many people today.
"Mo Mo is right." Chen Ran and Tang Xinmei also quickened their pace. They didn't want to go hungry.
They were lucky enough that when they hurried into the state-owned restaurant, there were still two empty tables.
"Qiao Mo, you guys go and reserve a seat, we'll go order the food." Wang Jiaming said to Qiao Mo and the others.
"Okay." Qiao Mo held Tang Xinmei in one hand and Chen Ran in the other, and occupied the table against the wall as quickly as possible.
"Ladies, can we share a table?" Before Wang Jiaming and his friends had ordered their dishes, two young men came over to chat with them. No, it's not really chatting, as there were indeed no empty tables in the lobby.
"We have companions with us, and there won't be enough room for you guys. You'd better go find someone else to share a table with." Qiao Mo refused indifferently. She looked around and saw that although there was no empty table, there were still some empty seats.
Their table was a square table with one side against the wall, so it could only seat six people, not the two of them.
"Let's sit over there." The other one was more shy. After hearing Qiao Mo's refusal, he pulled his companion to the table next to him. There were also two people sitting at that table, but they were two young men.
Seeing that there were indeed no empty tables, they nodded and asked them to sit down.
Soon, Wang Jiaming and Wu Shudong finished ordering the dishes, but Wu Shudong's face was full of regret: "We are still late, there are no meat dishes."
"As long as there's something to eat, it's good enough." Qiao Mo was not craving for meat now.
Although they could not often go to the mountains to hunt small animals for snacks, Kang Mingyuan sent her two to three kilograms of meat coupons every month. Tang Xinmei, having lost hope in family affection, no longer sent anything or money home.
They made a lot of money selling mushrooms last fall, and with the year-end shopping boom, they had a lot more money, so the two of them, one paying the bill and the other paying the money, bought meat once a week. Although they could only buy half a pound each time, it was enough to satisfy their cravings.
