When she walked out of the examination room, Gu Qingning felt as if all the strength in her body was almost drained away.
Compared to his own embarrassment, Lu Changqing, who had just walked out of the examination room with his hands in his pockets, was obviously in high spirits and full of confidence.
Gu Qingning looked at him helplessly: "Why, are you so sure?"
Lu Changqing shrugged: "If I don't even have this much confidence, then there's no need for me to take this exam."
Gu Qingning gave him a reproachful look and wanted to roll her eyes at him.
Lu Changqing continued, "There was a person in our examination room who fainted halfway through the exam because he was too nervous. Naturally, he didn't have to take the rest of the exam.
Qing Ning, think about it, many of your opponents are actually like this. Due to various accidents or lack of strength, they can only withdraw from the competition. So, as long as you can complete the exam, you will have defeated many people! "
Gu Qingning snorted, "I've never thought about it before!"
"Have you ever thought about it?" Lu Changqing's face was full of curiosity.
"I never thought you'd be quite suitable to be a dean of studies. Do you enjoy giving people chicken soup so much?"
Gu Qingning walked out speechlessly, and her mood became much more relaxed.
When we arrived at the Bai family's house, the three children were already waiting there happily.
"Hurry, Qingning, come and sit here. Grandpa made your favorite shrimp wontons!" Mrs. Bai immediately asked Gu Qingning to sit down.
Gu Qingning responded with a smile.
The three children surrounded Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai, chattering.
The smile on the old lady and the old man's faces never stopped!
When Mrs. Lu first came in, she heard the laughter and joy in the room, and couldn't help but be infected: "It seems that you did really well in the exam today. You are in such a good mood. I will wait for the good news from you two!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold.
Madam Bai immediately snorted coldly: "The children just finished their exams, they should relax. Why are you ruining their fun here?"
Madam Lu looked a little embarrassed. "I was just thinking, given the children's abilities, there won't be any problems. Even if there are any problems, we can just wait another year. Or even if we can't get in, we can go to the Workers' and Peasants' Children's University, which is the same!"
Madam Bai ignored her and brought a new bowl of food: "Qing Ning, come and try this!"
Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed, but she soon smiled with relief and found a seat to sit down.
Si Nan seemed to come to her rescue and picked up a meatball for her grandmother: "Grandma, eat this quickly, it's delicious! This is made by my mother!"
The old lady took a bite and found it delicious.
She quickly asked Gu Qingning: "How is this made?"
The chef at home has been cooking for many years, but has never made anything so delicious!
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "This is just a shrimp paste. I added some fish roe in it. Some of them even have salted egg yolk in them. I just want to make it taste fresh!"
The soup base she made was also very good, sweet and sour, fresh and delicious.
Madam Lu praised you endlessly: "Qing Ning, I see that you have your own ideas in everything you do. Your spirit of innovation and research will benefit you throughout your life when you get into university!"
These words really comforted everyone present.
Lu Changqing's expression also became much more comfortable, and he even became more polite to Madam Lu: "You are right, Qing Ning is indeed the best!"
Anyway, for him, it is better to praise his wife than to praise him.
The more he praised Gu Qingning, the more proud he felt as a husband. When it came to praising his wife, he was not at all modest.
Si Nan immediately said loudly: "Yes, my mother is the best and most beautiful mother in the world!
My mom is great at everything she does. I love her the most. I want to be a strong woman like her who can do everything!
Madam Bai nodded: "My Qing Ning is indeed the best woman."
The whole family recognized Gu Qingning and liked her very much, and they were even used to Lu Changqing's endless flattery.
This made Gu Qingning, who was always thick-skinned, feel embarrassed.
After dinner, Mrs. Lu invited Gu Qingning and Lu Changqing to her home to play for a while.
"I have a cousin whose granddaughter is also taking the college entrance exam this year. You are all the same age and may even go to the same school in the future. You will definitely have common topics. Do you want to go to their house to meet them?"
Lu Changqing looked at Gu Qingning, as if he would only listen to his wife's words.
Seeing this, Gu Qingning could only agree: "In this case, maybe we can meet our classmates earlier. Let's have dinner together!"
Every time she returned to Beijing, Gu Qingning would live at the Bai family, only occasionally staying at the Lu family for a while.
After all, the Bai family has only this one daughter and only one grandson, Lu Changqing. Gu Qingning also gets along better with the cheerful old lady Bai, so naturally she prefers to live in the Bai family.
Old Madam Lu also has an eldest son. Not counting Lu Changqing's family, she has three grandchildren and five or six great-grandchildren. She won't be lonely with her children. They just need to accompany her occasionally.
However, Mrs. Lu always felt that she owed Lu Changqing something, so she would often invite Gu Qingning and Lu Changqing to come over and play.
They basically agreed.
"Grandma, Grandpa, we might sleep over there tonight. You don't have to prepare dinner for us. We'll be back tomorrow!"
With three great-grandchildren around, Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai's attention was diverted: "Okay, go early and come back early. When you come back, give us a call and we'll send someone to pick you up!"
Madam Lu quickly said, "We can just send it over. Why would you two have to make a trip? Don't worry!"
After saying that, the old lady took Gu Qingning's arm with a smile on her face and left.
Arriving at the Lu family's house, Lu Changqing hurriedly asked, "Are uncle and aunt here?"
"With both of them gone, the house seems a lot emptier."
Lu Qizhen and his wife moved out a long time ago. They also have a courtyard house not far from here.
However, Lu Qizhen has not retired yet and usually lives in the military area, so his wife naturally lives in the military compound as well.
The three children are now independent, have their own families, and have moved out.
However, there are many people in the family, and they all come over whenever they have a holiday. Mrs. Lu also helps take care of her great-grandson, so she doesn't feel lonely at other times.
As soon as Gu Qingning stepped into the hanging flower door, she heard a sharp female voice coming from inside: "What? Lu Changqing and the others are also going to take the college entrance examination?"
