Chapter 254 Kuixing Tower
The results of the academy examination will be released 5 days later, which is much faster than the prefectural examination. After all, the academician still has to go to other prefectures to preside over the academy examinations.
After Sun Shan left the examination room, he spent two days in a daze. The results would be out the day after tomorrow.
Everyone admired the moon and nervously talked about the examination questions. Sun Shan could still tell what he wrote in the first test, but he really didn't know what he wrote in the second test. He might have known it at the time, but after the test, he couldn't remember it, as if he had lost his memory.
Zheng Hongwen and others expressed no hope for this college entrance examination. They said the questions were neither difficult nor easy.
After confirming that they had answered a question incorrectly, everyone suddenly lost their expectations.
And what about Sun Shan? He was even more confused.
This time he could only say that he tried his best to answer the questions, not that he tried his best. He felt that he could have written better.
The next morning, after getting up, having breakfast and taking medicine, Sun Shan, Sun Boming and Zheng Hongyuan sat leisurely in the yard, while the others went out.
In particular, Zheng Hongwen, Huang Zhiyuan and Qin Shaofeng went to various inns to chat with other candidates after the exam.
According to them, they should take advantage of this time to communicate and learn more, and not just stay in Huangyang County and work in isolation.
Since the results of the college examination were released quickly, students who came from far away would stay in Zhangzhou Prefecture to wait for the results, so Zheng Hongwen and others could find fellow students wherever they went.
Sun Shan really admired them. How could they start a chat with any stranger?
During his two visits to Zhangzhou Prefecture, Sun Shan did not meet a single student from other places.
Sun Shan picked up the book, lay down on the recliner moved from the Hong family compound, and read leisurely.
Sun Bomin and Zheng Hongyuan, the father-in-law and son-in-law, discussed how to return to Huangyang County.
Sun Bomin said worriedly, "Shanzi, I'll call the doctor to come and check you out this afternoon. Are you feeling better today than yesterday?"
Sun Boming had not finished taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor last time, and he wanted to take it before seeing the doctor.
Then I thought about it and decided to see the doctor for a follow-up visit. I would rather spend a few more coins to have peace of mind.
Sun Shan didn't want Sun Bomin to worry too much, so he comforted him, "Dad, I'm much better now, don't worry."
As for whether to invite a doctor to see him, Sun Shan said he would.
He is not so poor that he only has underwear left. To be on the safe side, it is better to let a doctor come and take a look.
Zheng Hongyuan is picking mung beans and will make mung bean soup later so that Hongwen, who is outside, will have something to drink when he comes back to clear away heat and relieve summer heat.
He said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, take good care of yourself. When you are well, we will go home."
The seasons in Quang Nam province are only winter and summer.
The long summer is still hot even after August 15th.
The sun was shining brightly and the cicadas were making a lot of noise.
Sun Shan's physical condition requires him to stay for a few more days. If he rushes back home, he will suffer. It is better for him to recuperate before going back.
The college entrance examination has ended, and it will take two years to enter again, so the candidates are not in a hurry to go back to study.
However, Zheng Hongyuan had been away for more than half a month and missed home very much.
I miss Lixia and Su Xiazi who only has a few months left. I don't know if Lixia can deal with the little crybaby.
The Zheng family had never seen a boy who cried so much.
She cries during the day, at night, and even when she sleeps. She has been seen by doctors and consulted by fortune-tellers, but she still cries.
Not only did it cause great suffering to the family, but it also caused frequent complaints from neighbors.
Zheng Hongyuan wanted to hide when he saw him, but now that he was out, he missed him very much.
Sun Shan strongly agreed to go back later. He knew his own physical condition and needed to rest well before going back.
Fortunately, accommodation is free and I only have to pay for food, otherwise it would be even more expensive.
The three of them were chatting and laughing in the yard. It was a rare opportunity to have such a leisurely time.
In the middle of the meeting, Mr. Hong came by, said a few words of concern, and then left.
Later, Hong Chengcai, the eldest grandson of the Hong family, also came over and chatted with everyone enthusiastically.
It was mainly Hong Xiucai's eldest grandson who was talking, while Sun Boming and Zheng Hongyuan were listening.
Sun Shan occasionally asked where to buy cheap things in Zhangzhou Prefecture.
Hong Chengcai knew everything about Zhangzhou Prefecture and he told us everything he knew.
He also introduced to Sun Shan and the other two the exotic things in Zhangzhou Prefecture in a vivid and colorful way, and everyone was fascinated by his description.
Before leaving, Sun Bomin and Zheng Hongyuan reluctantly said, "Chengcai, let's talk another day. You go about your business. Your family is very busy with business."
Hong Chengcai said, "Uncle, brother, there is no other way. It is difficult to make a living. If we don't cook, we will have nothing to eat. Let's talk about it another day. When I have time, I will take you out to play."
This made Sun Bo and Zheng Hongyuan very happy, and they praised Hong Chengcai like a flower in front of Hong Xiucai.
Sun Shan laughed secretly. Hong Chengcai was indeed successful, but he was successful in business, which went against Hong Xiucai's wishes.
Therefore, no matter how much Sun Boming and Zheng Hongyuan praised Hong Chengcai, they could not get Hong Xiucai's approval.
The day passed quickly and the night gradually deepened. Sun Shan lay on the wooden bed, unable to fall asleep.
The results will be out tomorrow. Although I have mentally prepared myself to fail, it would be a lie to say that I have no hope.
Thinking about the time when I started school at the age of 6 and entered the field at the age of 13, time has passed so long and yet so quickly.
If he passes the college entrance examination this time, he will be more confident to continue taking the exam. If he fails, he will have to regain his confidence and try again.
Sun Shan didn't want to stay in the examination hall for a few more days, and he didn't want to experience the bad grades again.
Oh! I sighed in my heart, man proposes, God disposes, so don't think too much, otherwise you will be taller than me.
Wake up and open your eyes.
The morning sun is a little gentle.
Sun Shan walked out of the bedroom and found all the candidates were there. He looked carefully into their eyes.
Ouch, panda eyes, it seems you had trouble sleeping all night.
After breakfast and taking medicine, everyone gathered in the yard.
Huang Zhiyuan said: "Let's go to Kuixing Tower."
Kuixing Tower is close to where the results are announced, so every time the college examination results are announced, the candidates will go to Kuixing Tower to see the list.
Qin Shaofeng also suggested: "Let's go quickly, otherwise there will be no seats left."
With so many students, it’s easy to find a place to look at the list. Although I don’t think I’ll win, I still have to have hope. What if I win?
Zheng Hongwen glanced at Sun Shan, then at his two companions, nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look. It would be nice to get to know the case leader."
Zheng Hongwen thought that even if he didn't win, he would at least witness others winning.
I especially want to see the style of the top candidate. I don’t know which candidate is so outstanding and will take the top spot.
He turned to Sun Shan and said, "Ashan, are you going? Are you healthy enough?"
Okay, how can a man say no!
Even though he was just a young boy, Sun Shan couldn't say no.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I will go too. I also want to see the grand scene of the announcement of the results."
I have been to Zhangzhou Prefecture twice, but I don’t know anyone. I am embarrassed to tell others about it.
After two days of rest, Sun Shan felt much better.
Besides, he was just weak, not paralyzed.
Sun Bomin asked worriedly, "Shanzi, are you really okay?"
Shanzi is physically fine, but he is most afraid of failing the exam and then getting into trouble.
Shanzi always had smooth sailing in exams and never failed.
He is still young and is most afraid of being hit by this failure.
Not only was his academic performance sluggish, but Sun Boming was also worried about his health.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Dad, I'm fine. I just went to take a look and I won't squeeze with others. I'm sure I'll be fine."
At this time, Mr. Hong, Mr. Xiao Hong and Uncle Hong came in and asked everyone to go and look at the list together.
No matter whether you did well in the exam or not, since you are here, you must feel this atmosphere.
