The captain sent them to the door and came down to help them move their things.

Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing knocked on the door first.

After the door opened, the aunt saw them all coming, and said, "Come in, I have burned the kang in the house."

The captain stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister, I'm really sorry to trouble you. These children are very nice, but they have exams coming soon and I'm feeling nervous. Please bear with them these days."

The aunt waved her hand and said, "I understand. My youngest son is also taking this exam. I know everything he needs to know. Don't worry, I won't disturb them."

The captain watched them put everything away before leaving in the bullock cart.

Before leaving, he said to Lin Dongze, "Wait for me here after you finish the exam, and I will take you back."

Lin Dongze agreed.

Then they divided the rooms, arranged their beds, and continued to study against time.

The official exam is on the 24th. Starting on the 22nd, many candidates have come to the guest house in the town. Those who came on the 23rd have been unable to book a room. There are also other people looking for houses to rent for a few days near the test center.

On the 23rd, it snowed heavily and it didn't stop all day.

In order not to delay the exam the next day, the school sent people to shovel the snow. Even the aunt they rented the house from had shoveled a path out from the door of their house so that they could reach the exam site safely.

On the 24th, the day of the exam, it was still snowing and the wind was biting.

Each of them wrapped themselves tightly, hid their IDs and pens in their arms, and walked to school cautiously.

On the way, Wang Aiguo asked, "Whoever comes out first after the exam should go directly to the state-owned hotel to buy food first. Those of us who come out later will also go there and wait."

After deciding, they also walked to the school gate.

After arriving, Zhang Yingying said in surprise, "Oh my God, are there so many people?"

There was already a long queue at the door, and Wen Xin and the others quickly joined.

By the time we entered the classroom, more than half an hour had passed.

After entering, Wen Xin stamped her feet and rubbed her hands to keep herself warm.

Keep your ID and pen in front of you.

At this time, there was no heating or air conditioning. There was only a small stove in the classroom, which was still at the back.

But in order not to disturb their exams, the fire was not very loud. Some students even opened the windows to refresh themselves.

Wen Xin's location was good, not by the window, and there was no wind coming in.

Before she came, she put warmers on all parts of her body. It was too cold in the Black Province in December and she couldn't bear it.

The first session was Chinese. After finding out that the test papers came, Wen Xin read them all first and felt confident before continuing to answer the questions.

To be honest, the topic was not too difficult for her, but she needed special attention when writing the essay.

Be careful with your wording.

After answering the questions, there was still half an hour left, so Wen Xin did not hand in the paper in advance, but checked it again from the beginning.

After the paper handing-in bell rang, Wen Xin put down the pen in her hand and waited for the papers to be collected.

The invigilator said, "Okay, the time is up. Put down your pens. You can't answer any more."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xin heard several sobs. A girl sitting in front of Wen Xin couldn't help crying after handing in the test paper.

Wen Xin noticed that the cotton coat she wore was in tatters and had been sewn over and over again, but she didn't know if it was still warm. My hands are also covered with frostbite, and they tremble when I hold the pen.

Wen Xin went out with her and couldn't bear to see how she looked. She quietly gave her a pair of gloves and said, "It will be better when you wear them when writing."

After saying that, he walked away without giving her time to react.

The girl holding the gloves behind her looked at her leaving figure with firm eyes. She must be admitted to college, and she would go to her to thank her.

After Wen Xin left school, she went straight to the state-owned hotel.

When we arrived, they happened to be waiting for the food.

There were already a lot of people, and they came a little early to get a seat.

After passing by, Zhao Wanqing handed her the shredded pork noodles she ordered and said, "Xinxin, eat quickly."

Wen Xin didn't care what to say. After eating quickly, they left to make room for others.

I went back and squinted for a while at noon, and then went to school to take the exam.

After two days, everyone was obviously exhausted.

After the last exam was finished in the afternoon of the next day, everyone was waiting at the door. After everyone was gathered, they walked back together.

Everyone was silent on the way, but Zhao Aidang was the first to break the silence and said, "The exams are over. Let's go back and have a good sleep."

He Dong also said, "Yes, I will sleep so darkly when I go back that I won't get up if no one calls me."

Li Qian smiled and said, "Then let's go to bed today. After the liberal arts exam is over tomorrow, can we have dinner together?"

Wen Xin smiled and said, "Okay. I can finish it tomorrow morning and go back at noon."

Zhao Wanqing held her arm and said, "Xinxin, I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow. Don't refuse."

Wen Xin was stopped before she could say anything. She smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I know."

When they returned, the captain was already waiting for them at the door.

Seeing them coming, I walked forward excitedly and said, "You are back."

Lin Dongze said, "Dad, how long have you been waiting here?"

The captain waved his hand and said, "Not long ago, I just arrived. Your mother is worried about being home, so she asked me to come and take you back quickly."

Wang Aiguo also said, "Uncle, let's go back and get the things first, and we'll be back soon."

The captain said, "Hey, okay, pack up slowly and don't leave anything behind."

After Zhao Wanqing packed her things, she said to Wen Xin, "Xinxin, I'll wait for you here at noon tomorrow. Just come back directly after the exam."

Wen Xin nodded, "Okay, I remember."

Before Zhang Yingying and the others left, she specifically said to Wen Xin, "Come on Xinxin, we are waiting for you at the Educated Youth Point."

Wen Xin smiled and nodded.

After watching them all leave, Wen Xin went back to the room and continued reading English.

She plans to apply for an English major in college, so she needs to take one more subject. At this time, English majors were still very popular, or in other words, college students are very popular now.

Wen Xin decided to study hard in college, strive to stay in school and become a teacher, and use the remaining time to develop her career. This can be regarded as fulfilling her previous dream of not becoming a teacher.

The captain saw them all coming out and asked, "Why are there so few?"

Lin Dongze explained, "Dad, the educated youth have to take another exam tomorrow, so I won't go back yet."

The captain nodded in understanding, "Oh, we still have to take the test."

Lin Dongze said, "Yes, the major she wants to apply for is different from ours, so the requirements are different."

The captain set up the bullock cart and started to drive back.

When they were approaching the entrance of the village, Zhao Wanqing's sharp eyes saw Aunt Huaihua waiting for them.
