After a semester of hard study, the college entrance examination came as scheduled.

In the morning, Tao Tao got up from the bed.

He felt tired.

Because of his nervousness, he actually lost sleep last night and didn't sleep all night.

After washing, Taotao sat on the sofa, looking sluggish.

Dongmei went out early to fetch milk.

When Taotao sat on the sofa, Dongmei had already brought out the hot milk.

Tao Tao hadn't drunk milk yet, so he yawned a lot.

He said to Dongmei worriedly: "Mom, what should I do, I feel that I will definitely not be able to take the exam today." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei was stunned for a moment, thinking, what's wrong with this kid, he hasn't started the exam yet, so he said such unlucky things?

She hurriedly asked Taotao and said, "Child, since this semester, my mother has seen that you have prepared quite well, and you have done well in the previous mock exams, why are you retreating when the exam is approaching?"

Tao Tao added some sugar to the milk and said, "I'm really worried about the exam in the morning, I can't make it through." ”

Dongmei watched Taotao drinking milk, and she was about to go to the kitchen to bring out breakfast.

When she heard Taotao's inexplicable words, Dongmei said, "Child, there is no exam yet, how can you have stage fright?"

After finishing speaking, Dongmei smiled and encouraged Taotao, saying: "People often say that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, today is the time for you to play, you just let go of the whole thing, don't have any worries." ”

Taotao, who was originally nervous, saw his mother's smile, coupled with his mother's words of comfort, he felt a little relieved.

He said: "Mom, I was so nervous, I didn't fall asleep last night, I even didn't fall asleep for a minute. ”

Hearing that Tao Tao hadn't fallen asleep all night, Dongmei's eyes couldn't help but widen.

She thought to herself, this kid, how could he not fall asleep last night in the exam today, doesn't this affect the performance of the exam room?

However, Dongmei turned her head and thought about it, Taotao at this time must have been a little depressed, if he was depressed again, it would definitely affect his exam.

So, Dongmei pretended to be very indifferent and said, "Taotao, if you don't fall asleep all night, don't take it seriously." ”

Tao Tao frowned and said, "I didn't sleep at night, and I didn't have energy the next day, how could I not take it seriously?"

Dongmei thought to herself, how should she comfort Taotao, so that he can dispel the bad thoughts in his heart and actively take the exam?

After thinking about it for a long time, Dongmei finally came up with a particularly good way to give Taotao an example that was easy to understand and motivate him.

He gave Tao Tao an example of defending the country and said: "Tao Tao, even if you didn't fall asleep last night, there is absolutely no problem with the exam this morning, do you know why?

Because this morning's exam, that is, from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock, that is, two and a half hours, are you still worried that you will not be able to last these two and a half hours, and you will fall asleep in the examination room?"

Tao Tao shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about falling asleep, I'm just worried that I don't have enough physical strength to survive." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei smiled, and didn't take Taotao's words as a thing, and said: "When your father was a technician in the drilling team, he once drilled a horizontal well, three single and one oblique measurement, he didn't fall asleep for two nights in a row, and he didn't work all day the next day, he stayed up late like that, he persevered, what are you staying up late?"

What's more, you're still young, even if you don't sleep for two nights, it's no problem. ”

Hearing that his father didn't sleep for two nights and could work all day the next day, Tao Tao couldn't help but be touched.

He said, "Really?"

Dongmei nodded and said, "That nonsense, it can be fake." ”

Tao Tao couldn't help swallowing and said: "My dad doesn't sleep for two nights, and he can work all day the next day, and I haven't slept all night, is it really nothing?"

Hearing that Tao Tao figured it out, Dongmei said happily: "That's right, not to mention that you only need to stay in the examination room for two and a half hours the next morning."

Besides, it's three o'clock in the afternoon math exam, and you came back for dinner at noon, and slept straight from half past twelve to half past two, so you should be awake in two hours, right?"

Tao Tao nodded and said, "Mom, you're right, I'll listen to you." ”

Dongmei continued to add: "Besides, the first exam in the morning, or the Chinese exam that you are best at, is simply handy for you, what else do you have to be afraid of?"

Hearing this, Taotao's confidence has increased a lot.

He swept away the bad luck just now, patted his chest confidently, and said: "Mom, you're right, I haven't slept all night, it's not a problem at all, I don't believe it, I can't even hold on for two and a half hours?"

Dongmei patted Taotao on the shoulder and encouraged Taotao and said, "Child, you're right, just come on." ”

After speaking, Dongmei rushed into the kitchen.

After a while, Dongmei suddenly rushed out with a bowl of poached eggs and a fritter.

Tao Tao looked at the combination of fried dough sticks and poached eggs, he asked Dongmei curiously, and said, "Mom, we usually eat steamed buns and cold dishes for breakfast, how do you eat poached eggs and fried dough sticks today?"

Dongmei swore and said: "If you eat one fritter and two poached eggs, it will be a hundred points, indicating that you are victorious today." ”

Hearing this, Taotao was greatly encouraged.

So, Tao Tao drank a bowl of milk and a bowl of poached egg soup, which can be described as very well hydrated.

After eating and drinking, Dongmei personally sent Taotao to the examination room.

The two were originally going to ride bicycles, but for the sake of insurance, Dongmei felt that it was safer to walk, although it was slow, but reliable, after all, there were many students and cars during the college entrance examination.

As soon as he arrived at school, Taotao felt that he couldn't hold his urine, so he immediately rushed to the toilet.

In this way, because the water was too much because of the food Tao Tao ate, he had urinated three times before the exam, but he still hadn't finished the water.

When the bell rang for the college entrance examination, Dongmei, who was standing outside the school and waiting, felt as if she was in the college entrance examination.

She felt more nervous than Taotao.

Dongmei looked at the students in the classroom, immersed in answering questions, and couldn't help but think of the time when she took the college entrance examination.

At that time, the college entrance examination had just resumed across the country, and the majority of rural children hoped to change their destiny through the college entrance examination.

At that time, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and not only was the competition extremely fierce, but the acceptance rate was also terrifyingly low.

Even if the college entrance examination is so difficult, it still can't stop the students' college entrance examination dreams.

At that time, Dongmei, just like the current Taotao, was eighteen years old and had her dream of taking the college entrance examination.

She sat in the examination room, burying her head in answering the papers, looking forward to the title of the gold list and changing her fate.

However, like most of the children in the village, Dongmei failed the college entrance examination.

For this, she cried for more than a week.

Because her dream of taking the college entrance examination failed, her dream of becoming a teacher or having a formal job also failed.

So, in Dongmei's dream, the scene of her college entrance examination appeared for many years.

Dongmei pinched her fingers and calculated, she took the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen, and now she is forty-three years old, twenty-five years have passed in a flash, but she has dreamed of the college entrance examination for twenty-five years.

Now, his eighteen-year-old son Taotao is sitting in the college entrance examination room, realizing his child's college entrance examination dream and his college entrance examination dream.
