Zhao Xia did go to the toilet, but there really wasn't any public toilet here, and it took a long walk to find the public toilet, and when she came back, she naturally stood aside, not to Xie Yan's mother, preferring to stay alone, quietly waiting for her daughter to come out after the exam.

For those outside the exam room, time flies very slowly; For the candidates who are immersed in the examination room, the time flies very quickly, two and a half hours, it seems to be just a blink of an eye, some candidates have already handed in the papers with confidence half an hour ago, and Lin Xiao handed in the papers five minutes before the time is about to arrive.

There are also classmates from the same school in this examination room, and they are a little familiar, but they are not familiar with each other, when Lin School went out, she saw a lot of parents standing outside, and among so many parents, she saw her mother standing there and waving vigorously at her, and she quickly walked out.

From the time she came out, she kept hearing a lot of parents asking how the candidates were doing, and some of the candidates were huddled together for the answers, or frustrated, or happy, Lin Xiao didn't take this matter to heart at all, she never answered with anyone, just walked firmly to her mother, "Mom, let's go back, it's too hot to stand here." ”

Zhao Xia hurriedly put the umbrella on top of her head, and to a greater extent blocked the umbrella on her little daughter's head, and looked back, "Do you want to be with that classmate of yours?" ”

Lin Xiao shook his head, "No." ”

Zhao Xia didn't look behind, and followed her daughter back to the hotel.

The hotel was quiet, there were not too many candidates and parents who came back, the meal was not started until twelve o'clock, the time was almost up, their mother and daughter stayed in the room for a while, standing at the window and watching the candidates and parents downstairs come back more and more, so they went downstairs to have lunch.

Lunch is the same as last night, it is ten people at a table, sit casually, there is no fixed position for everyone, just sit down and eat full, the meals are arranged nutritious menus, this hotel is full of candidates from the same school, and they can also say a word or two to each other during the meal.

When Lin Xiao passed, there were not a few tables full of people, she and her mother randomly chose a table to sit down, and saw Ma Duanduan and Chen Chunwei were also there, which made her really unexpected, but she didn't get up to change the table, she still sat at this table, eating casually.

Chen Chunwei accompanied his mother to the exam, not his father, who was the director of teaching; Ma Duanduan, he is also accompanied by his mother, many candidates are accompanied by his mother, and there are also parents who come over, but not too many. may be because the parents are there, Chen Chunwei and Ma Duanduan did not speak.

Chen Chunwei's mother was a little curious, "Classmate, what class are you in?" ”

Lin Xiao looked at the side, only to realize that he was asking himself, and immediately replied, "Class 1." ”

Chen Chunwei's mother immediately knew which class it was, "Is it liberal arts?" ”

Lin Xiao nodded, and drank some more soup, she thought that asking this would be the end, but she didn't expect Chen Chunwei's mother to ask later-

She asked, "There's a guy in your class named Lin Xiao, isn't there?" ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but look at Chen Chunwei, seeing him bowing his head and "coughing", as if avoiding her gaze; Her gaze swept over Chen Chunwei and landed on Ma Duanduan on the side, seeing that he seemed a little embarrassed, and she didn't understand why this aunt asked about her, so she replied unhurriedly, "Auntie, it's Lin Xiao." ”

Who knows, Chen Chunwei's mother showed an envious smile on her face, "You are Lin Xiao, that Lin Xiao, who is particularly good at reading?" In several competitions, our family Chunwei has not beaten you. ”

Lin Xiao didn't know if this was a compliment, and he was still hesitating whether to accept it, when he heard Chen Chunwei raise his head.

He was more embarrassed than Ma Duanduan, and his face was a little more impatient, "Mom-"

Chen Chunwei's performance made his mother think that he was shy, and hurriedly said to Lin Xiao, "Oh, he is just thin-skinned, losing to a girl or something, he has been entangled, really, I can't do anything about him, and I want to see Lin Xiao all the time, I didn't expect you to be so well-behaved." ”

Chen Chunwei didn't have the face to say this, he didn't have that kind of thought, but when his mother said that, it seemed that he really had that kind of thought, so he couldn't help but feel more embarrassed, and lowered his voice, "Mom, can you say less?" ”

Zhao Xia usually asks about her daughter's grades, but never asks her daughter who wins the school in every competition, these are never asked, no matter what grades her daughter gets, she is happy, and finally arrives at the college entrance examination.

But she is now a hundred hearts, "Our school is more honest, and you don't usually tell me much about things in school, you are in the science class?" ”

Chen Chunwei's mother immediately replied, "Yes, we are all in science classes, well, this person is also Duanduan, and you are good at science in forestry school, why don't you study science?" ”

Chen Chunwei didn't expect his mother to talk so much, his face was a little unbearable, most adolescent children are like this, he can't wait to go against his parents, although he hasn't reached the point of being so rebellious, he is still a little rebellious, and he is not happy to talk to Lin Xiao with a happy face, as if he is a head shorter than Lin Xiao.

His foot at the bottom of the table kicked the end of the horse.

Ma Duanduan sat there and finally interjected, "When I was a freshman in high school, we were all classmates. ”

Ma Duanduan's mother also interjected, she had already heard of Lin Xiao's name, she was always the first student in the liberal arts class, and she always grabbed the first place in various competitions with her son, "Yes, everyone was in the same class at that time, I used to be high school classmates with Chunwei, where did you study before, and you taught Lin School so well?" ”

Zhao Xia has never studied, when she was a child, she followed the farming and herding cattle, and later knew a few words, or a literacy class at night, her name can be written, some simple words can be read and written, there is really no systematic school, but she didn't take this matter to heart, people at that time were like this, "No, I just recognize a few words, I can't teach the homework of A School Primary School, it's all her own efforts, I don't care about her, she doesn't care much about her, she doesn't have any other hobbies, just a hobby to read, read anything." ”

Ma Duanduan's mother's eyes flashed, and she was still smiling on her face, she didn't feel that Zhao Xia looked down on her without knowing a few words, and she could also see that Zhao Xia must be a rural hukou, unlike those of them who live in the town, more or less have studied, and when they grow up, they can be assigned units.

"Is it just a daughter of Lin School?" She asked.

Zhao Xia shook her head, "I also have an eldest daughter, who was admitted to the second batch the year before last, and now she is in college, and she will be a junior in the second half of the year, and she will graduate soon." ”

Chen Chunwei's mother was even more envious, "I also want to have a daughter, but unfortunately our family is a dual-income worker, and it is estimated that we will have to be laid off if we have another one, there is no way, there is only one son like Chunwei." ”

Ma Duanduan's mother also has this attitude, "We too, we used to have a unit that we couldn't give birth, but now we are laid off and want to have one, and we are getting older." ”

Lin Xiao listened, not understanding why this topic had turned like this.

Chen Chunwei and Ma Duanduan are probably like this, the two of them just eat and don't interject.

Zhao Xia followed with a smile, she didn't say that Lin Changfu wanted to have a son before, after all, this is a family matter, and she must tell others in such detail, maybe time passes slowly, and when she mentions Lin Changfu's name, she is not so excited, as if she is someone who has nothing to do with her.

This meal has made Zhao Xia know more people, Chen Chunwei's mother is more enthusiastic and talkative, and Ma Duanduan's mother can still interject a few words from time to time.

The exam in the afternoon didn't start until half past two, and it was only half past twelve after eating, the sun was warm outside, and everyone hid back in the hotel room, turned on the air conditioner and seized the last time to review, Lin Xiao didn't review, she took a nap, woke up too early in the morning, it was better to sleep for a while.

At two o'clock, enter the venue early.

This time it's math.

When she handed in the papers, the candidates in the examination room were only half gone, and she was not in a hurry, so she slowly checked the test papers and answer sheets again, and handed them in after confirming that there were no omissions.

She is very sure of every test.

Two days of time passed very quickly, language and English, and then Wen Zong, a total of two days, this is only 2001, and do not take the optional module, from 2003, the time of the college entrance examination has also changed, a full month in advance, advanced to June every year, the day is still that day, 7th and 8th.

After the exam, the school organizes a return to the town.

There was a commotion in the car, and the ears were all about the answers, Lin Xiao leaned in the car, feeling that the two days of exams had lost all her energy, and the whole person was lazy, and she had never passed the college entrance examination.

Many people are asking her how she did in the exam, and some classmates want to answer with her, she is quite patient to avoid it, before the results come out, she wants to be quiet, or do you want to go to He Sheng, ask him if the store is still open, she is about to graduate, is there no time to take care of that store anymore, in the past two years, relying on the income of this store, she does not have to worry about her tuition and living expenses at all-

But I always feel a little tangled.

The income of this store is really good, and she gave all the money to He Sheng according to the price she bought at that time-

He also took it.

So this façade is completely hers now, not what He Sheng bought to give her at that time, of course, she still took advantage of it, and most of the supplies were provided by him, although her sister also followed the goods, but in terms of quantity, it was not as much as what he provided.

She gave him all the money he should get every year, even if this is the case, she still has twenty or thirty thousand yuan, even if she doesn't want to open a store now, she plans to rent out the storefront, and then she will be a rent collector, she still has to discuss it with He Sheng.

That's what she thought, and that's what she did, and after she went home and had dinner, she came out to make a call to He Sheng, but unfortunately no one answered the phone, she didn't give up and called twice more, but no one answered.

Somewhat made her a little inexplicably lost.

Could it be that he's still here?

Lin Xiaosi thought about the figure she saw yesterday morning, thinking that she would cause misunderstanding among others, and did not run out to see him, and sighed in the phone booth, even if it was in the town, I didn't know where to start, this town is not big, and it is not small to say that it is not small, it is really difficult to find someone.
