Chapter 208: Little Yuan is so amazing at home!
After receiving their admission tickets, Yuan Xiu and Sun Ying checked the exam locations. Yuan Xiu and Sun Ying were at the same exam center, while Wang Ting was at a different one.
"Great! We're together! Then we can compare answers after the exam!" Sun Ying was very happy. It was a rare moment of joy for her during this period of time, as she had developed dark circles under her eyes from studying so hard.
Her sister-in-law is now cooking delicious food for her every day to help her recover. She looks haggard, but she has gained weight and her waist has gotten thicker!
Fortunately, she's just a makeup artist in the group. It would be infuriating if she had to pay attention to her figure like Wang Ting.
"What good will it do to get the answers right? It's better to finish the exam without asking any questions, come back and sleep soundly. Whether you pass or not, just leave it to fate!"
Wang Ting looked up at the sky and saw a vast expanse of blue, which inspired her to write a poem!
"The northern landscape is magnificent, a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow. Looking beyond the Great Wall, only vast expanses remain; the Yellow River, both upstream and downstream, has lost its roaring flow. The mountains dance like silver snakes, the plains gallop like wax elephants, vying with the heavens in height..."
Sun Ying stepped forward and stood beside her: "This land is so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to bow down. Alas, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han lacked literary talent; Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song were somewhat inferior in poetic flair!"
Yuan Xiu smiled and stood with them. The three of them recited in unison, "All have passed away; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present!"
After reading it aloud, the three of them burst into laughter.
"Where did this snow come from? It hasn't snowed at all. The way you were looking just now, I thought it was snowing!" Sun Ying laughed heartily and hugged Wang Ting tightly.
Wang Ting: "What we really want isn't snow, but rather a heartfelt expression of emotion, understand? Once we get into university, we'll be the stars of the show, understand?"
"I understand! Then why were you pretending just now..."
Some things just can't help but be talked about. The three of them had just finished reciting a poem, "Qinyuanchun: Snow," with great passion a few days ago, and then it snowed on the first two days of the exam.
The temperature dropped suddenly.
The two little ones don't go out anymore, they stay at home all bundled up like balls. Being pushed out in their little car to play every day is a must. After not going out for two days in a row, the brother and sister are not used to it. They turn their heads to look outside and point at the car with their little fingers, wanting to go out.
"We can't go out, it's cold outside. Let's play at home," Aunt Zhao coaxed them, waving toys in front of them to attract their attention.
Yuan Xiu was upstairs preparing the things she would need for tomorrow's exam: a fountain pen, an ink bottle, two sharpened pencils for drafting, several sheets of draft paper, an eraser, and a small knife.
A knife can be used not only to sharpen pencils, but also to gently scrape off mistakes when writing.
There were also water bottles, food coupons...
After preparing everything, she put it all into her military green shoulder bag.
After putting it in, wait three seconds... then check it again!
"How many times have you checked it?" Jiang Zhou leaned against the door, watching her open her handbag again and again.
Yuan Xiu glanced at him. "Can you help me check if I've forgotten anything?"
Jiang Zhou walked over. "Did you bring your exam admission ticket?"
Yuan Xiu's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly opened the drawer, took out her examination admission ticket, and put it in her bag.
"Did you already know I forgot my exam admission ticket?" Yuan Xiu asked suspiciously.
Jiang Zhou hummed in agreement, then fastened his backpack and hung it on the wall after checking. "That's it, everything's complete. Let's go downstairs."
"I'm not going downstairs anymore, I'll read for a while longer."
"Don't be so tense." Jiang Zhou pushed her downstairs. "You've already reviewed everything you needed to. What you need to do now is relax. Go downstairs and spend some time with the kids. If you don't go down soon, they'll be calling you."
"Nonsense!" Yuan Xiu laughed. "They're so young, how could they possibly speak like that?"
"Why can't they talk anymore? When I came up here, they were making all sorts of babbling noises at me."
"You call that talking?"
"Of course, I understand." Jiang Zhou lied through his teeth.
"Oh, so tell me what they all told you?"
"They're saying, 'Dad, Mom will definitely get into university!'"
Yuan Xiu burst out laughing!
……
The next morning, Yuan Xiu got up before dawn. After she got up, Jiang Zhou also got up and took her scarf, gloves, cotton coat and schoolbag downstairs.
While Yuan Xiu was washing up, he went back to his room and took the two children to An Hui's room.
"So early?" An Hui was still half asleep.
"The car left early, so don't get up, lest you wake them up too. I'll take her to the hospital where she can catch the bus."
An Hui waved him away, "Have Aunt Zhao fry some dough sticks and boil two eggs for Xiao Yuan, wishing her a perfect score on her exam!"
Even without Jiang Zhou saying anything, Aunt Zhao got up earlier than Yuan Xiu. When Yuan Xiu came downstairs, Aunt Zhao had already prepared breakfast: thick millet porridge, pickled vegetables, a large fried dough stick, and two boiled eggs.
"Eat quickly, these fried dough sticks are fresh out of the fryer."
Aunt Zhao also brought out a portion for Jiang Zhou; there were no eggs, but plenty of fried dough sticks.
Yuan Xiu sat down at the dining table, eating breakfast while still thinking about the dream she had last night.
She dreamt that she couldn't find the examination room no matter how hard she looked. When she finally got in, there was no one in the classroom. The teacher was standing on the platform and asked her to stand up and recite "Qinyuanchun: Snow".
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Zhou asked her when she suddenly started laughing.
Yuan Xiu then told him about her dream, "I guess it's a side effect of reciting with Sun Ying and the others that day. I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night, but who knew I could still have a dream."
After breakfast, Yuan Xiu went to the restroom, put on her cotton-padded coat, scarf, gloves, and hat, and got on the back of the bicycle, wrapping herself up tightly.
Aunt Zhao stood at the door and watched them leave until they were no longer out of sight before going inside.
When Yuan Xiu and the others arrived, the car prepared by the hospital was already parked at the hospital entrance. There were already quite a few people in the car. At this time, there were still several hours before the exam, but everyone was afraid of being delayed, so they all came very early, thinking that if they arrived early, the car could leave for the exam venue sooner.
After sending Yuan Xiu to Houjiangzhou, he didn't leave in a hurry. His colleagues at the hospital saw this and couldn't help but make a few jokes.
"Chief of Staff Jiang, why don't you come into the city with us? Take Xiao Yuan to the exam venue, and then come back with the car!"
Jiang Zhou stood at the car door, "I'd like to, but the family won't allow it."
Yuan Xiu smiled and glared at him.
"Wow! I didn't realize Xiao Yuan was so capable at home!"
Everyone laughed and joked around for a while, which helped to ease the tension in the test takers' hearts.
After everyone arrived, the bus set off. Jiang Zhou stood at the hospital entrance, watching the bus carrying his lover and a bus full of examinees break through the morning mist and head towards the east where the sun was just rising.
