But the sound of the candidates looking for seats in the courtyard was a little noisy, and Liang Xiankuan didn't hear it.

Du Jinning had no choice but to raise his voice: "Liang Xiankuan." ”

At this moment, the errand officer who was closer to this side heard it and shouted, "Silence." Suddenly, the noise in the courtyard stopped, and everyone fell silent.

Fortunately, Liang Xiankuan heard the sound just now, and he looked at Du Jinning in surprise.

Du Jinning took out an umbrella from his test basket, signaled to him, and beckoned again.

The position of the corridor was higher than the courtyard, and she could see clearly just now that Liang Xiankuan did not bring an umbrella.

Liang Xiankuan's eyes lit up when he saw the umbrella, he got up and came this way, walked to the front of the flower garden, and stretched out his hand. He is fifteen years old this year, and his height is already one meter seven, and when he stretches out his hand, he is only more than one meter away from Du Jinning who is standing in the corridor.

Du Jinning threw the umbrella directly, and the umbrella was caught by Liang Xiankuan.

The errand officer named Du Jinning kept an eye on her side, and saw that she gave the umbrella to Liang Xiankuan, and there was no other action, and the two quickly returned to their seats. The umbrella must have been inspected by the officials when he entered the door, and there should be no problem, so he didn't stop it silently, and let Liang Xiankuan take the umbrella to his place.

At this time, the vast majority of the candidates have already entered, and everyone is sitting in their places and starting to organize their things. Some of them had already poured water into the inkstone and began to grind the ink.

Du Jinning was not in a hurry to polish the ink, and sat in the seat as if the old monk had settled down, calming down.

At this time, the seat on the right sounded, and Du Jinning turned his head to look, only to see a gray-haired man in his fifties pulling out a stool and sitting down. But the stool seemed uneven, and he was unguarded, and his body shook a little, and he almost fell.

"Be careful." Du Jinning saw that the test basket he was holding in his left hand was almost thrown out when he controlled his balance, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and the things in the test basket were spared.

Seeing this, the man was shocked.

If the inkstone in the exam basket was thrown out like this, it might be broken. And without the inkstone, there is no way to grind the ink, and he is estimated to be in vain this year.

"Thank you, brother." He smiled gratefully at Du Jinning, put the exam basket on the table, and was about to raise his hand to bow to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning hurriedly stopped: "Wait, the table is not necessarily flat, don't put the exam basket on it." ”

Not far away, a candidate also just came in to find his place, and was about to put the examination basket on the table, hearing this, he quickly lifted the basket, first reached out and shook the table, and found that the table was quite stable, so he put the examination basket on it.

But the gray-haired candidates were not so lucky. He didn't know what bad luck had fallen today, the stool was uneven, and the table was uneven.

This discovery made his heart palpitate again, and he thanked Du Jinning again.

Seeing that he came to take the county exam at such an old age, early in the morning of February, the temperature was still very low, but beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead at this time, Du Jinning couldn't bear it, and hurriedly pointed to the stone left on her table and said, "There is a stone here, you can put a stool." Just be careful not to move when you sit for a while. ”

As she spoke, she took out another of her burritos and handed it over, "Put this under your table." ”

Although the cake is very thin, the area is large enough. Roll it up and fold it again, and put it under the candidate's desk at the right height. And it is moderately soft and hard, not easy to move, and it is like a soft pad on the pad, which should be very stable.

Du Jinning is not the kind of person who is particularly enthusiastic, mainly because of the old man's gray hair, and he insists on participating in the scientific examination, she has a trace of admiration and pity in her heart.

Anyway, as a modern person who has experienced three years of college entrance examination and five years of simulation, she has naturally done countless sets of mock questions before the county exam, and she has also done a lot of county exam questions, and it only takes one and a half hours to complete each time. If there is no accident today, it is estimated that she will be able to leave the examination room at noon. How good it would be to go straight home and eat a hot meal when the time comes, and where do you need to eat this cold thing? This thing was touched by the officials, and she really didn't want to eat it until she had to.

Even if she had an accident and could finish the problem after noon, she didn't eat much, and it was enough to have a cake mat to be hungry.

The old man was stunned for a while when he saw the bread she handed over, and then he shook his head very movingly, and said gratefully: "No, no, no, how can I use your food to cushion the table?" I want to pad my own. As he spoke, he reached out to the examination basket to pick up something, but halfway through his hand, he was stunned.

He was carrying corn tortillas mixed with steamed white flour. In order to prevent entrainment, when they entered the door, the officials had already broken the cake little by little and checked it. The largest piece of the cake was no bigger than a thumb, so where could it fit on the table?

Du Jinning had already seen the cakes in his test basket with sharp eyes, so he made the move of handing over the pancakes.

It was precisely because she knew that the officials wanted to check like this, so she specially called the thin cake that Chen baked, and saved her own food from being ravaged like this.

"Okay, take it, anyway, I'm too small to eat so much." Du Jinning hurriedly stuffed the cake into the old man's hand.

It was related to the hard work of most of his life, and the old man did not shirk it again, and kept saying thank you, and he folded the cake under the table.

This time, the table was completely stable.

As a sign of fairness, the old desks were used by the candidates in the rooms and corridors, while the ones sitting in the courtyard were relatively new. Therefore, Liang Xiankuan in the courtyard sat down, and there was nothing to do after putting things in order, and he was looking around boredly, when he saw Du Jinning taking cakes to put the table on the table for the candidate next door, he couldn't help but smile respectfully.

Because of Guan Jiaze's relationship, although Du Jinning has been in the same class with him this year, the relationship between the two is not particularly close. Only talking from time to time between classes and asking about academic things, Liang Xiankuan especially likes to talk to Du Jinning about arithmetic. After class or after school, Du Jinning was with Zhang Hongwen. However, Liang Xiankuan and Du Jinning have always cherished each other and appreciated each other, although they did not stay together all the time to play, but the relationship was no worse than that between Zhang Hongwen and Du Jinning.

Soon, when the time came, the candidates everywhere were full, and no one outside came in. After a while, there was a "clang" gong sound at the door.

Immediately, a man in his forties dressed in official uniform was surrounded by a group of people and walked in and stood still on the steps; Several others descended the steps behind him, through the middle gate, and into the courtyard at the back. Behind the county order, the gate of the county school was closed by two officers, and the heavy wooden door made a "yaa" sound.
