Also, now is the time when children cannot be distracted, you can’t hold them back, okay?”

“How could I not know?

If it weren’t for my leg, I wouldn’t be here now…”

“Okay, it’s already this late, and you’re still saying things like this, I still have to give the kids ginger tea.

You continue cooking at home, I'll take it over first, and I'll help you cook later!"

"All right!

I can do the cooking. The road is slippery, so you don't have to rush back.

I will prepare dinner at home in advance and wait for you and the children to come back and eat.”

"That's fine. I know you won't want to eat first, so just make it and warm it in the pot first!"

"okay, I get it.

By the way, don’t ride your bike on this day. The road is too slippery. Just walk slowly!"

"I know, and I have no plans to ride a bike. Besides, my two children are taking exams at the same school, and I don't need to run around much. I'm not pressed for time, so I still have time to walk there slowly.

Okay, no more talking, I'm leaving first..."

I put the thermos and the pot in a basket on my back and walked slowly to the school where the children were taking the exam.

What’s more, just a few minutes after arriving, I heard the sound of the exam ending.

Most of the people standing at the school gate at this time are parents, or their relatives and friends, waiting for the candidates.

I don’t know how many people prepare ginger tea for their children like I do. I think people who live close to home will always prepare some hot water for their children.

Even if you don't prepare, it's better to be close to home than far away.

Not long after, he waited for his two children to come over. Seeing them running over, he quickly handed the ginger tea in his hand to his daughter and continued.

"Third brother, please wait aside for a moment and let your sister drink a few sips to warm herself up. She is a girl and should pay more attention to her health."

"Mom, I understand. I'm not going to argue with my sister."

"That's right, you've known how to give in to your sister since you were young, and you've done a good job in that regard.

By the way, have you two met those young people in the team who are taking exams?"

"Mom, don't mention it. I really haven't met anyone like that. I didn't know anyone in the exam room."

"There is one in my examination room. What's wrong, Mom?"

"Don't be anxious, girl. Drink another sip."

"No more drinking, I think it's enough. If I drink more, I'll start sweating. Let my brother drink a few sips!"

"Okay, then tell me, who did you meet?"

"There's nothing much to say. It's just Qin Zhiqing from our team. He doesn't look well, and his face is very pale. Fortunately, they persevered, otherwise they might not have been able to hold on until the end of this exam. What's wrong, Mom?"

"nothing?

Third brother, drink it quickly. After you finish, go to the school gate to see if there are any young people in our team. I brought two pots of ginger tea here. If you see anyone, ask him to come over and have a few sips to get rid of the cold.

Although we don’t have a good relationship with them, we should still help them if we can.”

"Okay, I'll go right away. It's so cold, and it's really rare to be able to drink a sip of hot ginger tea!"

"Okay, hurry up!"

"Oh!"

"Mom, how about I go over and take a look, after all, there is strength in numbers!?"

“No need, there’s only one at the school gate, you can see it as soon as you come out, as long as the third brother is there.

Take advantage of the warmth from the ginger tea you just drank and go home quickly. Your father is waiting for you at home.

I don't know if your dad has cooked yet. If he hasn't, you can help him, okay?"

"Got it, Mom. I'll go back first. If Lao San can't wait for the others in the team, you don't have to wait. It's so cold today, I'm afraid that not many people will be able to make it to the exam."

“No matter how cold it is, there will always be people who persevere.”

"That's true, but one-fifth of the people in our examination room didn't come. I don't know if they are here?"

"Whether we are here or not, we just have to live up to our conscience."

"That's right. I'll go back first. You and the third brother should go home early as well."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

After seeing his daughter leave, he stared at the school gate without blinking, for fear of missing the young people in the team.

It’s just a pity that when the third brother led the people over, he didn’t recognize anyone. It was really because the clothes of that era only had a few dyes.

Plus, it was very cold and everyone was either covering themselves up tightly or leaving in a hurry.

The reason why the third brother was able to bring the person back was because he felt hot after drinking ginger tea and most of his face was exposed. He was recognized by a young man from the team who came to take the exam, and was confirmed only after he came forward to ask.

These few people account for less than a quarter of the candidates in the team. Seeing them, I could only sigh in my heart and dare not show it on my face.

The heavy snow prevented many people from taking the exam.

When I saw them coming, I quickly spoke to them.

"Quick, quick, there's ginger tea in the thermos. If you bring your own enamel mug, pour it yourself. If you don't bring any, just use this one.

But today's conditions are like this, so don't complain about this or that, just warm up your body first."

The educated youth who came with Guo Feng at this time never thought that such a good thing would happen. People who usually didn't say a few words in the team could actually think of them at this time, so they hurried forward to talk.

"Thank you, thank you, auntie."

"Thank you, Auntie. Sorry for the trouble!"

Seeing that they were so polite, I said with a smile.

"What's the trouble? We've known each other for a long time. We see each other every day. Why should I be polite to my aunt?

And you are about the same age as Guo Feng, in my eyes you are just like my younger nephews, so don't be polite, or the ginger tea will get cold."

Seeing this, Guo Feng hurriedly followed behind and said.

"That's right, even though my mom doesn't talk much, she's actually the best.

I thought of preparing ginger tea for everyone early in the morning and waiting here, for fear that everyone would catch a cold due to the weather.

Come on, everyone, hurry up and take a few sips to get rid of the coldness in your body. Don't let yourself catch a cold at this time."

"Yes, yes, nothing is more important than your body at this moment."

"That's right, Brother Fengzi. No matter what, I still want to thank you and Auntie."

"That's right. You don't need to tell us. We all know how good Auntie is."

"is not that right?

If Auntie hadn't agreed to lend us the materials, we wouldn't have been so well prepared."

"Who says it's not?

The only thing I didn’t expect was today’s weather. Oh! Did I miscalculate?”

"Well, if we talk about miscalculations, we are really nothing?
