At the end of December, the weather was very cold, especially with a light rain, and no matter how much you put on clothes, you could not resist the cold air.

On the tractor to the commune, the reference personnel of the Peace Brigade were all shivering with cold.

"This damn weather, can't we wait until we finish the exam before it rains?" Ergou said.

He felt that this god was too bad for them, it didn't rain yesterday, and it rained lightly when he got up this morning, and the already cold weather was even colder.

He wrapped his raincoat tightly, for fear that he would fall ill if he didn't survive the rain before the exam was over.

When he got in the car just now, he heard Liu Zhiqing say that Qian Zhiqing was unable to take the exam because he fell into the water the first day and now has a high fever, so he felt very embarrassed.

The exam is coming soon, and all of a sudden, all the previous efforts have been in vain.

"Qian Zhiqing was too careless, why did he suddenly fall into the water?" Ergou said.

Liu Zhiqing also took the opportunity to ask Zhu Zhiqing and Chen Zhiqing, "Zhu Zhiqing, didn't you go to wash clothes together yesterday?" Why did Qian Zhiqing fall into the water? ”

Zhu Zhiqing: "As soon as we stood up after washing, Song Zhiqing accidentally slipped his foot and bumped into Qian Zhiqing. ”

Chen Zhiqing added, "If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would definitely have been unable to stand on my feet and fall down at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiqing and Zhu Zhiqing glanced at each other, and then said, "You say, Song Zhiqing didn't accidentally ......"

Ergou took over, "Then it goes without saying, it must be intentional, that woman was not in the right mind, and now you can all go to take the exam, but she can't, and she definitely doesn't want to let you participate." ”

Liu Zhiqing: "The truth of the matter has not yet been determined, let's not speculate here, while there is still time, it is better to review the knowledge points in your heart." ”

His proposal was unanimously agreed, so for the rest of the day, no one in the car spoke, only the rumbling of tractors.

The tractor stopped in front of the school in the commune middle school, and the Xu Shuxin sisters and educated youths got out of the car one by one.

Xu Shuxin explained to Ma Shengli, "Brother Shengli, you can set off again at almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and we will finish the exam at five o'clock in the afternoon." ”

The exam was divided into two days, and the cadres of the brigade decided that Ma Shengli would pick them up and drop them off for both days, and they would be sent in the morning and picked up again in the evening.

That is, the commune also has an examination room, and their brigade is very close to the commune, so it is very convenient to come over.

Those brigades that were far away, if they could not make it that day, had to come early, or borrow accommodation at a relative's house in the commune, or go to a guest house.

Xu Shuxin and they didn't go back at noon, everyone agreed, and when the time came, they would go to the state-run restaurant to eat together, and it happened that Xu Qingmu was working over there, and he could take care of one or two.

Ma Shengli answered, watched them walk into the school, and then drove back to the pair.

While driving, he sighed in his heart: My good man, there are so many people who take the exam!

That person looked crowded, and I don't know if the people in their brigade who took the exam could pass the exam?

This idea was formed, and he immediately denied it, he didn't know about those educated youths, but someone from the Xu family would definitely be able to get in.

Those girls were the first in the exam before, and they could skip a grade!

That must be amazing!

The Xu Shuxin sisters didn't know that Ma Shengli was particularly confident in them, but they themselves were very confident.

As soon as the test paper was sent, they all listened to Xu Shuxin, and quickly skimmed the questions from beginning to end, so that they knew it in their hearts.

After reading it all the way, the Xu Shuyue sisters were very excited, and felt that these topics were not difficult for them.

The sisters suppressed the excitement in their hearts and began to answer the questions very calmly.

Time passed quickly, and when the bell rang for the end of the exam, the Xu sisters walked out all the way with the sound of different people's wails in their ears, and some even cried on the spot.

After Xu Shuxin, her sisters and the educated youths of their brigade gathered, except for Kong Zhiqing, who reviewed with them, the expressions on the faces of the other educated youths were not very good-looking.

Chen Zhiqing cried bitterly on the spot, "I, I still have a lot of questions to do, and if it's over, I will definitely not be able to pass the exam." ”

Zheng Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing immediately agreed, "So are we." ”

Liu Zhiqing said with a wry smile: "I'm pretty much the same, I've put down my textbooks for so many years, and it's only been less than two months, and it's too difficult to pick them up again." ”

The two dogs didn't squeak, but they had some doubts in their hearts: Is it that difficult? It seems that Xu Qiya told them the same type of question, and they don't think it's so difficult.

It's just that they have always been scumbags, and if they say that the exam is simple at this time, I'm afraid it will give these educated youths a bigger blow, so forget it, don't talk about it.

Seeing them all mourning and taking the exam, Xu Shuxin rarely comforted her, "Okay, this subject has been completed, it's useless to say more, let's go eat first, and then take a good rest and prepare for the exam in the afternoon." ”

Xu Shuyue followed and persuaded, "Yes, except for fresh graduates like us, the situation of other people must be similar to yours, so there is nothing to worry about, there is still hope for doing well in the next exam." ”

Xu Shuyan herself did a good job and couldn't empathize with them, she touched her rumbling stomach and said, "Let's go eat first, I'm hungry." ”

"Let's go." Xu Shuxin said that she took the lead in walking towards the state-run hotel.

Sister Xu Shuyue and Ergou hurriedly followed.

Kong Zhiqing, Fang Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing did not delay and followed behind.

Liu Zhiqing looked at the depressed few people and said, "What they said is right, it's all over, and you can't save it if you cry anymore, so let's deal with the next exam first." ”

A few people collected their emotions and followed.

Today's state-run hotels are particularly lively.

Compared to seven years ago, the current state hotel is a generation larger than it was seven years ago, and even so, the current state hotel is packed.

It was full of people who came to take the test today.

Xu Shuxin's group didn't need to wait in line like them, their meal Xu Qingmu had already prepared for them.

For the sake of the same brigade, along with Liu Zhiqing, he also prepared it.

The group entered through the back door, and when they arrived, Xu Aoki was in full swing, spatula in one hand and pot in the other, and his movements were smooth.

Hearing Xu Shuxin's sisters shouting at him, he looked up from his busyness, "Are you done with the exam?" The food prepared for you is still hot on the board over there, so you should eat it quickly. ”

"Also, there's a stove over there, you all bake it to keep your bodies warm."

He brought it from home in the morning, just so that his daughter could bake the fire at noon.

Xu sisters: "Okay, thank you, Dad!" ”

Educated youth: "Thank you, Uncle Xu!" ”

A group of people settled their lunch in the back kitchen. (End of chapter)
