Yang Yanwen left, and Jiang Qinglime watched him enter the examination institute.

As soon as you enter the examination center, you must first verify your identity. After the identity verification is passed, you have to enter the room to undress and check, this inspection is very strict, and the person who checks it does not even let go of the scalp.

After passing the inspection, the candidates will draw lots to select their seats.

Actually, the seats are all the same, but it would be nice to choose one that faces east or west. The north-facing ones are too humid and the south-facing ones are exposed to the sun all day.

Yang Yanwen was relatively lucky, and the number drawn faced east.

This way, there is sunlight for some time in the morning, and the sun is not too strong. Putting away the clothes he brought in, Yang Yanwen spread out the quilt on the bed.

The quilt prepared by the examination institute was used in previous sessions. It is sealed every year when it is used up, and it is only taken out to dry a few days before the test.

The quilt isn't too dirty, but it's not clean either.

But there is no way to do it if it is not clean, they can only endure it for two nights.

Yang Yanwen sat on the bed for a long time, and when there was still a quarter of an hour before the exam, the gong sounded. After that, people began to distribute pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

The paper is of the highest quality, the black ink is average, the inkstone is of inferior quality, and the brush is average.

But it will be used.

After the test paper is written, someone will copy it again, so as long as the handwriting is neat enough for the transcriber to read.

After distributing pen, ink, paper and inkstone, each person has a bowl of water to drink and grind ink. When you run out of water, you can raise your hand when the examiner comes over, and they will help add water.

The water is all boiling water, and there is an iron pot not far away, and there are special people adding firewood to boil water.

When the things are distributed, the time has come. The gong struck three times, and the examiner began to hand out the test questions. The test questions are written on a blank piece of paper, which is rolled up and tied with red rope.

Open the white paper and there is an ancient text on it, and the candidates will use their knowledge to make an article according to the understanding of this passage.

"Sister Jiang, come and sit down."

After sending Yang Yanwen to the examination institute, Jiang Qingling stood at the door until the gong rang, and then she walked back. To be honest, Yang Yanwen was a hundred times more nervous than Yang Yanwen in the exam.

Now that she's back, she's still absent-minded.

Suddenly hearing someone calling her, Jiang Qingling looked at Zhou, thinking that there was nothing to do when she went back to the house, so she walked towards Zhou.

Under the eaves of the main house, there was not only Zhou sitting alone, but also a woman with a big belly who was about to give birth.

The woman looked only a little younger than the Zhou family, but she had to be twenty-eight or nineteen.

"This is my mother's sister, who lives on the street from the examination institute, and my husband's family runs a noodle restaurant."

It turned out to be Zhou's sister, so it should be Xiao Zhou.

Jiang Qinglime didn't speak, nodded and smiled at the woman, and then sat down. Then Zhou introduced Jiang Lime to Xiao Zhou.

"Look at my sister-in-law's belly, it should be about to give birth, right?"

Jiang Qingling is also four months pregnant now, and it is difficult to see because of her loose clothes. However, seeing that Xiao Zhou's belly looked very big, she was curious, so she asked.

At this question, Xiao Zhou smiled, "Yes, it's only been these two days." ”

Xiao Zhou looked average, with dark skin, and when he smiled, he showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and then stroked her stomach with a loving face.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

was smiling, Xiao Zhou suddenly retracted his smile and began to be melancholy.

Seeing her like this, Zhou glanced at her, "It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, it's true that you're healthy." I see that after you give birth to this child, don't give birth. ”
