Chen Qiaoshan has been accompanying Yan Xiaoqin for the past few days, and during the SARS epidemic period, the school strictly prohibits senior high school students from leaving the school gate before the end of the college entrance examination.

The two of them either find a random corner to flip through the books, or wander around, the campus is full of students like them, the last few days are mainly relaxed, there is no need to surprise the review, boring to read books, tired to go around.

Yan Xiaoqin would contact her family by phone every day, Chen Qiaoshan was by her side, her parents were more nervous than her when she saw the call, she listened quietly most of the time, and occasionally comforted her parents.

In his previous life, he was probably like this, but he was more impatient with his parents' advice, Chen Qiaoshan regretted it a little in his heart, and now he thought about it at that time, he was really ignorant.

After dinner, he accompanied Yan Xiaoqin to make a phone call, watching her chatting with her parents on the phone, Chen Qiaoshan had a trace of envy, thinking that maybe he should also contact his family, but there was a trace of hesitation.

In the end, he decided to call back, after all, he left a lot of regrets in his previous life, and now that he has the opportunity, he still wants to make up for the guilt in his heart.

When Yan Xiaoqin hung up, he grabbed the phone and dialed the number of the second uncle's house, and the phone was connected after just two rings.

"Hey, who's that?"

Chen Qiaoshan heard that this was the voice of the second uncle in his memory, and hurriedly said: "Second uncle, it's me!"

Before Chen Qiaoshan could continue, he heard the second uncle shouting on the other end of the phone: "Old Five, Qiao Shan's call is coming, you come to answer." Then there was a few seconds of silence.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little lucky, Chen Weiguo would be in the second uncle's house, so there was no need to trouble the second uncle to toss back and forth.

"Hey, Dashan, are you alright?

Hearing Chen Weiguo's voice from the microphone, Chen Qiaoshanben's somewhat restless mood quieted down, "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry!" The two briefly chatted about the recent situation, and after a few words, the father and son were a little cold, and the two men were silent.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and Chen Weiguo said: "Your mother and sister are here, you can tell them." ”

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned, could it be that everyone in the family was waiting for his call?

At this time, his mother Tao Xiuying's voice came from the earpiece, this was the first call between the two, but Chen Qiaoshan did not feel a trace of strangeness and estrangement, he told the recent situation again, Tao's mother was delicate and repeatedly told on the phone, just like the nagging of his mother in his previous life, which made Chen Qiaoshan seem to have returned to his previous life and felt familiar.

Chen Qiaoshan chatted with Tao's mother for a while, and said a few words to Chen Xi, who had just returned home, the fourth sister Chen Wan was still going to school in the town, and the phone was passed around, and finally fell into the hands of the younger sister Chen Yue.

As soon as the phone arrived in Chen Yue's hand, the little girl's complaint came from the microphone: "Second brother, why haven't you called back these days, we are worried about you, we come to the second uncle's house every night to wait for your call, and the fourth sister She is also worried about you, but she is ...... at school now."

Chen Qiaoshan listened to the twittering complaints coming out of the microphone, but there was no trace of impatience in his heart, this is his relatives, Chen Qiaoshan secretly made up his mind that he must do his best to take care of them.

Chen Qiaoshan listened to the little sister chattering on the phone, and occasionally popped up all kinds of curious questions, and finally under Tao Xiuying's intervention, the little girl reluctantly hung up the phone.

Yan Xiaoqin said curiously: "You looked very strange just now!"

Chen Qiaoshan knew that he was a little out of shape just now, but he had no way to explain to her, so he had to say perfunctorily: "I don't have a phone at home, and I don't often contact my family, so I called my second uncle's house just now......

She didn't continue to ask, and Chen Qiaoshan also breathed a sigh of relief.

On the morning of June 6, the school began to issue admission tickets for candidates to familiarize themselves with the situation of the test center.

The wait was long, but after the long wait was over, it was too fast.

There are still a few hours before the college entrance examination will start, but Yan Xiaoqin is suffering from gains and losses, and on the way to the cafeteria in the morning, she keeps asking all kinds of questions.

"Shall we go to university in Yenching together?"

"Definitely!"

"Can we be admitted to Peking University?"

"Absolutely!"

……

In order to appease her emotions, Chen Qiaoshan kept giving her positive answers, but with little effect.

The campus of only the junior high school students was much empty, and today's cafeteria was very quiet and dull, filled with a nervous mood, and Yan Xiaoqin was also affected and became silent.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at her and knew that it would not be beneficial to the exam at all if he continued like this, he thought for a while and said, "I'm going to do a part-time job after the college entrance examination!"

"What are you going to do?" she was distracted by the question.

"I am much more capable, repairing nuclear submarine radios, shining shoes, refurbishing, polishing and waxing nuclear warheads, overhauling nuclear reactors, recycling second-hand aircraft carrier refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, cleaning aircraft carrier oil sumps, range hoods, space shuttle maintenance, three-filter car tire repair, high-altitude work satellite surface dusting...... I'll do it all!"

Yan Xiaoqin first shook his head, then directly covered his mouth and bent over with a smile, and only stopped laughing and said after a while: "Chen Qiaoshan, you are too bad! The exam is going to be in a while, and you are still telling jokes!"

Chen Qiaoshan was very satisfied with the effect of the joke, she obviously walked out of the negative emotions, "Why don't I tell you a few more?"

Yan Xiaoqin glanced at him with disgust, stretched his arms lightly, and looked much more energetic.

After all, 2003 was not an ordinary year, the college entrance examination was changed to June for the first time, and the SARS epidemic was suddenly encountered.

Today, candidates have to check their body temperature on the spot before entering the examination room, and then they will paste different colored strips of paper, yellow means that you can take the test normally if your body temperature is normal, and red is a tragedy, and you have to go to the isolation examination room to take the exam alone.

At nine o'clock in the morning of June 7th, Chen Qiaoshan sat in the examination room, and wrote his name and admission ticket number on the examination paper, which was the moment he had been looking forward to for a long time, from now on, the fate of this young man named Chen Qiaoshan will change dramatically.

……

At 5 p.m. on June 8, the last exam was over, and the 2003 college entrance examination came to an end.

In two days, some people cried and some laughed, some were depressed and some were excited, Chen Qiaoshan, who had already experienced the college entrance examination, was very emotional to see this scene again, after all, the college entrance examination is related to the fate of many people's lives.

Among the millions of candidates in the country, the admission ratio of one college is less than one-tenth on average, and the remaining part will enter two or three colleges, and a large part of the college entrance examination will directly enter the society, and the gap is undoubtedly very different.

As soon as Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the place agreed by the two, he found that Yan Xiaoqin was staring at him with strange eyes, Chen Qiaoshan knew her questions, and Chen Qiaoshan had asked her with similar questions about the difficult questions in mathematics and the big comprehensive test papers.

He didn't explain, and there was no need to explain, after all, the two had discussed a lot of questions, which were just a few similar question types, and after thinking about it, he diverted the topic and asked, "Xiaoqin, how did you do in the exam?"

"Very good, very good!" Yan Xiaoqin was very excited, and directly put his arm around Chen Qiaoshan, and said excitedly about the exam that had just ended.

Chen Qiaoshan was very surprised, Yan Xiaoqin's personality was very shy, she was embarrassed to hold hands before, and she would take the initiative to hold his arm.

Feeling the gentle touch coming from his arm, Chen Qiaoshan, who was already thirty years old in his heart, was also itching, and couldn't help but touch her firmness intentionally or unintentionally.

Yan Xiaoqin obviously felt his small movements, his little face turned red, and he hurriedly let go of the arm he was holding, and gouged out his eyes fiercely, making Chen Qiaoshan a little stunned.

Yan Xiaoqin went home tonight, Chen Qiaoshan's house was too far to go back, and he was going to leave tomorrow.

"Let's go for a stroll outside the school!" Yan Xiaoqin said, the two of them hadn't been out of school for a long time.

Chen Qiaoshan proposed: "Let's go to dinner first, go to the city after eating, and then I'll send you home, what do you think?"

Yan Xiaoqin was very satisfied, and came directly to grab his arm, which made Chen Qiaoshan very surprised, just wanted to say something, but he was greeted with a warning look, he had to be honest.

The entrance of the school will be bustling and lively, and it is already surrounded by students and their parents.

The two of them were far away from the crowd and discussing where to go to eat, when suddenly they heard several car horns, loud and right behind them.

Chen Qiaoshan turned around and saw a white Buick Sail parked on the side of the road not far away, he knew that Sail would soon be assigned to Chevrolet, but Yan Xiaoqin hurriedly let go of his arm as if he was frightened, and timidly shouted at the open car door, "Mom?"
