Fu Xia Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "You've made it big. You still want me to tell you that?"
Xiao Qinyun has been on leave at home recently. He and Qiao Qinglu are fully preparing for the college entrance examination. Mantou, Doubao and Tangyuan are all well-behaved and can basically take care of themselves. With Master Shen, Aunt Qiu and Feng Yuan taking care of them, there is no need for them to worry.
Qiao Qinglu also thought of Xiao Qinyu, "Did we forget about your brother? We should have told him about this in advance, but now it's too late."
Xiao Qinyun smiled and said, "I called him last year, and he didn't want to take the college entrance exam. My brother has never liked studying since he was a child, and he just likes that olive green uniform. I wanted to persuade him to apply to a military academy, but he said he was already a second lieutenant colonel, so I stopped trying."
Qiao Qinglu could only smile and said, "Your brother got promoted really quickly."
Xiao Qinyun said with some sadness: "He fought for this with his real swords and real wood. You only know that he is in the Guangdong Military Region, but you don't know that their troops are stationed in Bao'an County, which is separated from the Hong Kong River by a river. There are many fan activities there, and their lives are in danger wherever they go. I have persuaded him countless times to take off this clothes or transfer him away from the front line. He is still so young and has not yet started a family. I am afraid of that possibility. But he told me seriously that he was born a Chinese and would die for the Chinese soul. As long as Guo Jia does not take back this clothes, he will die wearing it. My father said that he has realized his mistake, which is a good point, but he is already 27 years old and a regimental-level cadre. It is time for him to consider the issue of starting a family. He refused. He said that the risk of him being on the front line is too great and he cannot drag others down. He will wait until he retires to the second line."
Qiao Qinglu patted Xiao Qinyun and said, "Your brother is a patriotic soldier with faith, passion, ambition, and ideals. He deserves our respect."
Xiao Qinyun calmed down and said, "Well, let's do our best. He achieved his ambition, and we also have our ideals and pursuits. Let's continue to fight."
Qiao Qinglu: “Okay.”
November passed quickly, and the admission tickets were issued in early December. The college entrance examination was held from December 10th to 12th. On the morning of the 10th, the politics exam was held, and in the afternoon, the liberal arts students took history and geography exams, and the science students took physics and chemistry exams. On the morning of the 11th, the mathematics exam was held, and the Chinese exam was held in the afternoon. On the 12th, those who applied for foreign language majors took an additional English test.
Qiao Qinglu and her sister-in-law Fu Xialing were in the same examination center, Xiao Qinyun and Brother Qiao were in the same examination center, and her sister-in-law's younger brother Fu Qiuhua was in a separate examination center.
Fortunately, the examination center was not far from the Xiao family's home, and everyone went to the examination room on the 9th to check the time. They agreed to have lunch at the Xiao family's home during the two days of the examination, and wait together on the right side of the examination center gate after the examination.
Qiao Qinglu also prepared half-finger gloves for everyone (it was her idea, she provided the money, and Aunt Qiu did the knitting). She suggested that everyone prepare a military water bottle filled with hot water to warm their hands, so that the examination room would not be too cold and their hands would be frozen and difficult to write. As everyone expected, this day finally came.
At around 6 o'clock in the morning on the 10th, Xiao Qinyun and his wife could not sleep. They got up, put on their clothes, checked the various documents and stationery in their bags again, adjusted the time on their watches, and then carried their bags out of the bedroom.
Master Shen had returned from outside and brought them some hot soy milk and fried dough sticks, which he placed in the kitchen. Seeing that the two had gotten up, he told them to wash up quickly, and also brought the soy milk and fried dough sticks to them on the eight-immortal table in the main room.
The two candidates did not dare to delay and obediently washed up quickly and ate breakfast in order to avoid being delayed on the way.
After tidying their clothes and checking their documents and stationery again, the two of them rode their bikes out, followed by Feng Yuan and Ke Bin, leaving the house to Aunt Qiu, Master Shen and He Linqing.
Fortunately, we left home early. There were so many people on the road that it was hard to tell whether they were candidates or parents. Qiao Qinglu took her things and followed everyone into the examination room. She quickly found her seat.
This year was the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. The questions were relatively simple, but the examination room was really cold. Fortunately, Qiao Qinglu had prepared well in advance. She dressed warmly and had a kettle and gloves. She finished the paper quickly. After checking it several times, it was time to hand in the paper.
It was a bit rushed at noon, so after handing in the test paper, Qiao Qinglu followed the crowd to the main gate. She found her sister-in-law and Ke Bin on the right, and they rode their bikes back to the courtyard.
Xiao Qinyun and the others had returned and were drinking ginger soup to dispel the cold. Qiao Qinglu and the others also drank a bowl after returning, and then they started eating.
During this time, Brother Qiao wanted to check the answers to the morning exam, but was rejected by Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu. There was an exam in the afternoon, so why was he thinking about it?
After dinner, we wandered around the yard for about a quarter of an hour, checked our belongings, and then hurried to the examination room.
Qiao Qinglu still did well in the afternoon exam. All the preparations in the past few years were for these few days. Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain. After the exam, Qiao Qinglu felt that Yan University was not far away.
After saying goodbye to her sister-in-law, Qiao Qinglu rushed home with Ke Bin. She had to have a good rest today, as long periods of mental work were quite tiring.
The next day, I had a clear idea in my mind. Although I still got up early, I ate slowly, packed my things, and rode my bike to the examination room.
After the Chinese language test in the afternoon, many people cried when they left the examination room. Some people did well in this test, and some did not, but in the end, they were not as confused as before, and everyone found a way out.
Xiao Qinyun has finished the exam and looks relaxed, but Qiao Qinglu is the only one who can't relax yet, as there is another exam tomorrow, so she has to continue.
On the third day, Xiao Qinyun accompanied Qiao Qinglu to the outside of the examination room. There were fewer students coming and going. Qiao Qinglu took it easy and came out quickly. She was finally done with the exam.
