Chapter 508 The College Entrance Examination Ends
"Shu Yu, get up and have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go to school. It is better for us to go early for the exam."
Today is the day of her daughter-in-law's college entrance examination. Su Yueru got up early to make breakfast, and when it was ready, she called Shen Shuyu to get up.
Mother-in-law got up. Shen Shuyu also got up after hearing the noise, but she had been reading in the room. "I'm here."
Su Yueru made a rich breakfast, including eggs, ham, fried noodles with tomatoes, millet porridge, egg custard, sweet potatoes, and corn. Although the quantity was not large, the variety was great, enough for the whole family.
"Shu Yu, eat more. You've been reading a lot lately, so you need to eat more."
"Hey, Mom, you eat too."
Many soldiers in the army also went to take the college entrance examination. Considering that they were too far away from the examination site,
The logistics department arranged a car to take them to the examination center, so Gu Jiandong and Jiang Ziqiang didn't have to find another car.
They took the army vehicle to send their wives to the examination venue.
Su Yueru and Gu Changfeng also wanted to send their daughter-in-law with them, but the army vehicle could not accommodate so many people, so only some of the family members could get off.
"Mom and Dad, please go back."
"Shuyu, Xiaoqiu, what do you want to eat? I'll cook your favorite dishes at home."
Shen Shuyu wanted to eat wonton stew, Shen Qiu said he wanted to eat braised pork, Su Yueru nodded in agreement,
"Okay, come back after you finish the exam, we'll be waiting for you at home."
In the middle of winter, Jiang Ziqiang didn't bring his son with him, and asked Su Yueru to help take care of him, "Aunt, Xiaoping is troubling you."
"We are all family, there is no need to talk about this."
Shen Shuyu and his friends rode in a large truck and arrived at the examination room in half an hour. The entrance to the examination room was crowded with people, all of whom were there to send the candidates into the room.
Shen Shuyu was not nervous at first, but when she saw their expressions, she also became nervous.
"Shu Yu, don't be nervous. You've been reading. The test won't be difficult for you."
Jiang Ziqiang also comforted his wife, "Xiaoqiu, I'll be waiting for you here. You can see me as soon as you come out."
The two sisters entered the examination room.
Gu Jiandong and Jiang Ziqiang found a corner to stand in, looking inside from time to time.
Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu were not in the same examination room. One was in the east and the other in the west. They each entered their own examination room.
Shen Shuyu arrived late. All the candidates in her classroom had arrived, and only her seat was empty.
This batch of college entrance examination candidates had a large age gap and a large gap in social class. Some of them were farmers who came from the fields.
Some are workers who have come from workshops, cadres from units, and soldiers from the army.
Because this time we took the college entrance examination, we sat in the same classroom. This classroom was the starting point and also a watershed.
Some people will successfully reverse the fate of themselves and their entire family by getting into college, while others will return to their original lives by failing the entrance exam...
Shen Shuyu sat in the classroom for half an hour before the teacher came in to hand out the test papers.
Shen Shuyu took the test paper and wrote her name on it. Then she looked at the test questions. Seeing the questions, Shen Shuyu felt relieved, because she knew all the answers.
There was no need for teachers to maintain or emphasize discipline. The examination room was always quiet during the examination.
Shen Shuyu knew all the answers to the test questions and finished them quickly. When it was time to hand in the paper, Shen Shuyu handed in his paper and was the first to leave the examination room.
Shen Shuyu came out, and people came out one after another. The family members at the door saw their family members coming out.
He immediately went to meet her and asked, "Dad, how was the exam? Was it difficult?"
"Son, you must be tired. Let's go home."
"dad……"
As soon as Shen Shuyu came out, Gu Jiandong held his wife's hand and said, "My pockets are warm, put your hands in my pockets to warm them."
This is the downside of taking exams in winter. It's too cold, my fingers are stiff, and it's hard to hold a pen.
Shen Shuyu didn't feel anything when she was concentrating on writing the test paper in the examination room, but when she came out, she felt particularly cold.
Shen Qiu ran out from inside. Jiang Ziqiang was afraid that she would fall, so he stepped forward to support her, "Slow down, slow down."
"You must have waited for a long time, big sister, you came out early."
"It's just been out for a while."
There was an exam in the afternoon, so when everyone was gathered, we got on the truck and went back to the army. We had lunch and took a nap so that we would be energized for the afternoon exam.
Shen Shuyu fell asleep as soon as she lay down. Su Yueru and the others were afraid of disturbing her sleep, so they kept silent.
Xiaoze knew that his mother was going to take an exam, so he behaved very well. He was afraid that Bailuobo would yell, so the first thing he did when he woke up was to tell Bailuobo not to yell or shout.
Whenever the two brothers wanted to talk, they would go out of the yard. Of course, White Radish couldn't talk, so Xiaoze was the one who kept talking in White Radish's ears.
At the appointed time, Gu Jiandong called Shen Shuyu to get up. With the experience in the morning, Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu were not nervous at all for the afternoon exam.
After two consecutive days of exams, I am finally over.
On the third day, Mrs. Shen called and said, "My dear, how are you? Have you finished your exams?"
"I've finished the test. It wasn't difficult at all. I know all the content on the test paper. Grandma, when the admission notice arrives, I'll take it home to show you and grandpa."
Old Mrs. Shen smiled happily, "Okay, okay, then grandma will be waiting at home. Where is Xiaoqiu? Is Xiaoqiu with you?"
"Grandma, I'm here. Please tell my parents that I will bring Xiaoping home next week."
Now that his son is a little older, Shen Qiu plans to take him home to see his parents and grandparents.
Old Lady Shen was even happier that her little granddaughter was going home. "Okay, I'll let your three brothers pick you up at the station.
I sent some peanuts over, dear. Xiaoqiu's package has arrived. Remember to take them. The peanuts are fried and very fragrant. Eat more. They are specially fried for you."
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't bear to eat raw peanuts, so she specially fried the peanuts before sending them to her granddaughter.
"Grandma, we have peanuts to eat. You can eat them yourself next time. You don't need to send them.
We have a big yard, and we planted a small patch of peanuts in it. We can’t even eat them all, and we use some to press oil.”
"The crops at home are different. Well, the phone bill is expensive, so I won't tell you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Old Man Shen was so angry that he almost jumped up and down, "I haven't talked to Guaibao and Xiaoqiu yet, why did you hang up so quickly?"
"This phone call is so expensive, you can't keep calling it. Just write what you want to say in the letter and send it to Guaibao and Xiaoqiu later.
Xiaoqiu said she would be back next week. We should go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some needles and thread. We have no needles and thread at home, so we can’t make two sets of clothes for the children.”
Shen Shuyu hung up the phone and went out on bicycles with Shen Qiu. They wanted to buy some spices to make hot pot base. It was the most comfortable time to eat hot pot.
The last time we had hotpot, Xiaoze kept asking for it, but Shen Shuyu didn’t have time to cook for the child.
The hotpot base cooked by Gu Jiandong was not quite up to standard and not fragrant enough. Xiaoze was a picky eater and he tasted it after just one bite.
"Sister, do you want to go back with me next week?"
The school is on winter vacation, so her elder sister doesn't have to go to class.
"Let me take a look first. If your brother-in-law is free, let's go back together."
Gu Jiandong wanted to live in the Shenjiaba Brigade for a while, but every time he wanted to go back to the army, there was something going on.
