Chapter 111 First Day of College Entrance Examination
July 7th, Minor Heat.
Early in the morning, Chen Suniang carefully prepared a special meal for the exam. Based on the experience of the last pre-exam, she provided Qiu Huoming with two eggs and a fried dough stick for breakfast this time. Fearing that he would not be full, she added an extra large steamed bun.
Big steamed bun is not part of superstitious activities. In layman's terms, it is an additional point beyond the 100 points, which helps to keep you full.
Qiu Huoming finished washing up and changed into a refreshing summer outfit.
He checked his admission ticket and pencil case before stuffing them into his schoolbag. He then walked into the living room with the schoolbag on his back to prepare for breakfast.
"Breakfast is ready, please bring the milk in." Chen Suniang held the porridge and motioned for him to open the door.
Qiu Huoming took the milk, opened the screen door, and Chen Suniang walked in quickly.
"If you're not full after breakfast, have another bowl of porridge. I pickled the duck eggs I brought back from your grandfather last time. They're already oily and fragrant."
"Oh, then I'll eat it with steamed buns."
"After eating the duck eggs, you should eat one less egg..."
"..."
Qiu Huoming entered the living room. The doors of the eldest and youngest sisters' rooms were still closed. They must be still sleeping in.
He peeled a hole in the duck egg and poked it with chopsticks, revealing the oily yolk. He took a bite of the duck egg yolk and a bite of steamed bun, enjoying the delicious taste.
Finally, only the fried dough sticks were left, and he stood up while biting them.
"Huo Ming, check if you have brought your admission ticket and pen." Seeing that he was about to go out, Chen Suniang quickly gave him an order.
Qiu Huoming took the fried dough sticks from his mouth and said, "I brought them all."
Qiu Jianshe was washing up in the kitchen. He poked his head out to encourage her, "Do well in the exam today. Bring your books with you and read them before you go on the test."
"Got it, Mom, Dad, I'm leaving."
Qiu Huoming put on his schoolbag, held up the screen door, and pushed the car out.
The weather in July is very hot. The sun has come out at this time. Qiu Huoming is riding on his bike. The sky is cloudless and the morning sunshine is relatively mild. The weather is not bad. Although it is hot, it is better than raining.
There is no traffic police clearing the way for the college entrance examination these days. For the residents of the small town, this is just an ordinary day. They do what they have to do and rush around for their lives as usual.
In addition to students and their families like Qiu Huoming, they are all looking forward to it and hope that this will be an opportunity for them to make a breakthrough.
Just like the pre-exam, on the first day, the Chinese language test will be held in the morning, and it will still start at 8 o'clock. Students must enter the exam room 15 minutes in advance. However, Mr. Huang requires students to arrive at school 30 minutes in advance, as he is probably afraid that some students will be late.
When Qiu Huoming arrived at the school gate, the gate was already full of students, and there was not a single parent seeing their children off. The beautiful scene of students wearing cheongsams and celebrating a successful start of the school year in later generations was no longer to be seen.
Most of the students at the door were unfamiliar faces. They should be candidates from other schools and towns below. Qiu Huoming shielded the sunlight with his hands and searched for the locations of the students in his class.
Before he could find a few, the school gate opened and students rushed in.
For candidates from this school, familiar places give them a greater sense of security. This group of students who are assigned to take the exam at this school are still very lucky.
Everyone gathered downstairs of the teaching building. Some students were walking back and forth with Chinese textbooks in their hands, muttering to themselves.
Qiu Huoming parked the car and before he even left the carport, he saw Ding Yu and Gu Xiaoran walking in one after another.
"I just saw you, but there were so many people around that I was too lazy to call you." Ding Yu said as he parked the car next to him.
Qiu Huoming glanced over and saw that Ding Yu's face didn't look very good.
"Fatty, you're not sick, are you?"
"I was fine when I woke up this morning. But when I rode my bike here, I felt a little dizzy and listless. Huozi, stay away from me. I don't want to pass on my illness to you."
Ding Yu looked like he had lost all hope in life.
"I brought some Fengyoujing, you can apply it." Gu Xiaoran took out the Fengyoujing from his schoolbag and handed it to him.
Ding Yu reached out to take it, poured some and applied it on his temple.
Qiu Huoming stretched out his hand and placed it on his forehead. "It's okay, you don't have a fever. Let's go and sit at the stairs for a while."
As soon as I sat down at the stairs, I saw Li Ming walking towards me quickly.
Gu Xiaoran said, "Fatty, I'll give you the Fengyoujing. If you feel uncomfortable during the exam, just apply some more."
Ding Yu nodded. He really looked unwell, and even his usual chatterbox had stopped.
"I was just looking for you. What's wrong? Are you afraid of the sun?" Li Ming came over with a smile.
"The fat man must be ill."
It is very bad luck to get sick at this time. The college entrance examination requires physical and mental strength.
"Teacher Huang is next to the bulletin board. Let me tell him about Ding Yu." After saying this, Li Ming turned around and trotted off to find Teacher Huang.
After a while, Mr. Huang came over behind Li Ming.
"Are you dizzy?" Teacher Huang squatted down and asked Ding Yu without bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"I'm not dizzy, just a little tired. I feel much better after applying Fengyoujing."
"Do you want to vomit?" asked Teacher Huang.
"It's a little disgusting."
Teacher Huang took out a bottle of medicine from his jacket pocket and said, "Why are you wearing so many clothes in such hot weather? You must have heat stroke. Just drink some Ten Drops of Water and you'll be fine."
He was able to carry this potion with him. It seems that this kind of situation is not uncommon during exams this summer.
Qiu Huoming looked at Ding Yu, who was covered tightly in long clothes and long pants, and suddenly realized.
Ding Yu took a sip of Ten Drops of Water, loosened the collar of his clothes, rolled up his sleeves high, and sat down to relax.
Qiu Huoming used his textbook to fan him.
"Teacher Huang, I'm much better now."
"That's good." Teacher Huang stood up. "Which exam room are you taking? I'll bring you a cup of hot water later."
"Classroom 203." Ding Yu's spirits had obviously recovered a little.
"Ring, ring, ring." The bell rang.
"Go take the exam. Don't be nervous. Just review as usual." Teacher Huang gave them a few more instructions and watched them leave. Then he quickly went to the Examination Committee to find a cup.
In classroom 102, Qiu Huoming was in the second row of the third column, and Gu Xiaoran was in the sixth row of the first column.
The Chinese language test in the morning lasts 2 and a half hours.
When the test papers are handed out, there are additional questions for liberal arts subjects, which are worth 20 points. Science students do not need to write them, and no points will be given if they write them.
Qiu Huoming was moved when he looked at the composition topic "Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy about the world after you are happy about yourself". He had listed this topic in the review outline he gave to Gu Xiaoran and Ding Yu. As long as they wrote it carefully, they would definitely have an impression of it. This was simply an easy-to-get-point question.
The question types were the same as those in the pre-test, so they were not difficult for him. He calmed himself down and began to fill in his name, admission ticket number and other information neatly.
The only sounds in the entire examination room were the teacher's footsteps and the rustling sounds of students writing.
Qiu Huoming was immersed in solving the problem. When he finished writing the last symbol of the composition, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He checked the test paper front and back to see if there were any questions he had missed.
Time passed by minute by minute. The invigilator cleared his throat and said, "Dear candidates, there are still 30 minutes before the end of the exam. There is plenty of time. Don't panic. Those who have finished writing should not rush to hand in the paper. Check it carefully. Those who have not finished writing, continue writing..."
Qiu Huoming supported his chin with one hand and looked at the composition he had written with boredom.
"There are still ten minutes left. Candidates, please check whether your name and other information are filled in on the side. This is very important. If you don't fill it in, no matter how well you write, you will get zero points..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of flipping pages in the examination room.
Sure enough, a few careless people forgot to fill it out.
Qiu Huoming looked at his neat paper and felt there was no point in sitting any longer, so he raised his hand to hand in the paper.
He walked to the side of the podium, took out his schoolbag, put away his admission ticket and pencil case, and then walked out of the classroom door.
The one who handed in the paper right after him was Gu Xiaoran.
They were waiting for Li Ming and Ding Yu downstairs in the teaching building.
"Qiu Huoming, you are quite capable. You guessed the essay topic correctly." Gu Xiaoran obviously did very well in the test, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
"It's just a coincidence. It's mainly because you, Gu, are well-read and have studied hard. Of course, my foresight also played a certain catalytic role..."
As the two were praising each other, Li Ming walked down from the corridor. He looked calm and it seemed that he had done well in the exam. By this time, several other candidates had come out.
"You are all out. It seems that you did well in the exam." Li Ming said with a smile.
Next, he began to compare answers with Qiu Huoming and the others. He had a good foundation and made almost no mistakes, so he should be able to get a high score in this Chinese exam.
"Ring, ring, ring." The bell rang.
In the examination room, it is rare to find candidates who hand in their papers early. Most candidates will try to wait until the time is up before handing in their papers.
After a while, Ding Yu came out with a schoolbag on his back and an empty cup in his hand. He looked in good spirits.
"Fatty, here." Qiu Huoming shouted.
Ding Yu walked up to Qiu Huoming, holding up the empty cup in his hand and said, "I'll go return the cup, you guys go back first."
"I'll wait for you." Qiu Huoming was a little worried about him.
"Hey, Fatty, I approve it." Ding Yu said with a smile, turned around and walked quickly towards the examination committee.
This guy can take a joke so there's basically no problem.
Gu Xiaoran stretched and said, "We are going in different directions anyway, so I will go back first."
Li Ming also echoed: "Fatty is fine, I will go back first."
Qiu Huoming waited for Ding Yu to come back, and the two of them went to the carport to get the car. Ding Yu had already taken off his long-sleeved shirt and was only wearing a white vest underneath.
"Are you stupid to wear so many clothes in such hot weather?" Qiu Huoming unlocked the bicycle and followed the fat man to push the bicycle out.
"It's my mom! She insisted that the clothes I wore for the pre-exam were good and lucky, so she put them on me again. Fortunately, she kept the coat..."
Qiu Huoming:...
This operation is really cool.
It was just past 11 o'clock when Qiu Huoming returned home. His parents had not come back yet. His eldest sister was cooking in the kitchen, and the aroma of chicken soup filled Qiu Huoming's nostrils.
Qiu Huoming walked into the kitchen and washed his face with cold water. The eldest sister stopped what she was doing and asked, "Brother, how did you do in the exam?"
"I've already written it, so I should do well in the exam."
"Wow! Brother, you will be fine. Go back to your room and rest. The chicken soup will be ready soon. I will call you to come over and drink it later."
"It smells good. Where are you going, little sister?" Qiu Huoming looked around.
"I went to Xiaoyun's house to watch TV. I won't be back until dinner time." The younger sister said with a smile.
At 11:, Chen Suniang arrived home just after Qiu Jianshe, carrying a basket of vegetables.
As soon as Chen Suniang returned home, she tied an apron and prepared to cook a few more dishes.
Qiu Jianshe glanced at Qiu Huoming at the door and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"
"It's OK. I've written it all down."
Chen Suniang was washing vegetables in the kitchen, the water splashing. "Don't ask about those who have passed the exam, don't let it affect your mentality. What is the next exam?"
Qiu Huoming shouted through the door, "We'll have the chemistry exam this afternoon."
"Okay, you read first, I'll call you for dinner later." Qiu Jianshe walked back in square steps.
The lunch was very sumptuous. After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Qiu Huoming asked, "Mom, where did this chicken come from? It can't be our family's reed chicken, right?"
As soon as the voice fell, the little sister paused holding the chicken wings. She raised her head and looked at Chen Suniang. Just as she was about to stand up and go to see if the reed chicken was still at the door, she heard Chen Suniang's leisurely voice:
"The egret chicken can lay eggs, but I can't bear to kill it. I bought this at the market. It tastes good, right?" Chen Suniang also took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.
The little sister was relieved and moved her butt back to its original position.
Then he opened his eyes wide and glared at Qiu Huoming.
Qiu Huoming said with a smile: "I treasure it too, why don't we keep raising the chicken forever."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiu Jianshe said, "Eat, eat, stop talking nonsense. Who would keep chickens forever?"
The younger sister secretly stuck out her tongue and suddenly felt that her elder brother was not so hateful.
"Huoming, what do you want to eat tomorrow? Mom will make it for you." Chen Suniang has been treating Qiu Huoming as warmly as spring recently.
"Mom, I love whatever you cook." Qiu Huoming took a few mouthfuls of rice and gnawed on a chicken leg. He lived a life that even a god would not want to live otherwise.
After eating three bowls of rice, Qiu Huoming finally put down his chopsticks.
"Go back to your room and have some rest. The exam is at 2: in the afternoon?" Chen Suniang asked.
"Yes, the exam lasts until half past four."
"Then I'll call you later. You can still sleep for half an hour."
"Okay, then I'll go back to my room." Qiu Huoming stretched, got up and walked out.
I saw Ding Yu in the teaching building in the afternoon, and he was already full of energy.
"My mother cooked a pot of old duck soup for me, saying it can clear heat. I told her about what happened this morning, and she felt guilty..." Ding Yu clicked his tongue and said, "I got another five dollars more in pocket money."
"Fatty, you really work hard for money..."
The two of them arrived early and sat on the stairs, one on each side, chatting. There happened to be a tree next to Qiu Huoming's position, which blocked the hot afternoon sun outside.
"Huozi, I was busy this morning and forgot to mention that the composition is amazing. I feel I can get a high score..."
"You'll have a chemistry exam later. Remember to memorize the experimental steps and potion colors I gave you."
"Then wait a minute, I'll look through it again." Ding Yu quickly took out the chemistry materials from his schoolbag, lowered his head and began to recite them silently.
After a while, Gu Xiaoran also came over.
Qiu Huoming gave her his good seat, stood up, and leaned against the tree trunk next to him. "Are you sure you can take the chemistry test this afternoon?"
"Yes." She answered so straightforwardly that even the fat man next to her stopped reading the information and looked at her.
Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "All the experiments I have done are remembered in my mind."
"Big cities are great." Ding Yu said enviously.
"Student Gu, do you know the Film Academy?"
"Know a little bit."
"I want to apply for the acting department. I heard that they don't have high requirements for academic performance."
"The Department of Acting... I think their professional exams are held in March every year. I don't remember the exact date. I'll ask someone later..."
"Fatty, you should pass this test first before you talk about these trivial things." Qiu Huoming said unhappily, "Hurry up and take a few more glances. It's almost time to enter the examination room."
"Oh." Ding Yu immediately lowered his head and looked through the documents in his hand.
Li Ming saw them not far away and immediately trotted over. He arrived next to Qiu Huoming before he had time to say anything.
"Ring, ring, ring!" the exam bell rang.
