In the late 1990s, the college entrance examination was scheduled in the scorching summer heat of July. Sun Rongfang made her daughter a pot of refreshing and antipyretic herbal tea for her to carry to the examination room.
"Mom, you don't have to follow me. I'll go alone." Xie Wanying turned back to her mother who wanted to send her to the examination room.
Sun Rongfang had no time to react and saw her daughter walking out alone.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Wanying got on her old, noisy bicycle and rushed to the examination room.
Arriving at the entrance of the No. 8 Middle School examination room, she saw a car. Xie Wanying put her bicycle in the parking shed and saw her deskmate Zhang Wei getting out of the car.
It should be said that the entrance to the examination room was very busy with people coming and going. Many parents of candidates went to the examination room in person to accompany the candidates during the exam. The college entrance examination not only changes the fate of a candidate, but also changes the fate of a family. Parents place all their hopes on their children.
The college entrance examination was passed. One by one, they helped to sort and check the children's schoolbags, mumbling non-stop.
Xie Wanying didn't want her mother to come to the examination room because she didn't want her to be tired.
There were too many people, not to mention being crowded together. It was still hot and I was sweating profusely after standing there for a long time. Moreover, there was no place to enjoy the shade, so I had to bask in the sun for hours at a time.
Parents of candidates who come here are eagerly waiting for their children to leave together after taking the exam.
The head teacher Liu Hui also came. Liu Hui didn’t have to be an invigilator, so she came here to cheer up her students. After Zhang Wei’s mother took Zhang Wei over, she started chatting with Liu Hui.
Xie Wanying walked through the queue of candidates at the school gate and went directly to the examination classroom.
When I arrived at the corridor of the examination room, I saw Zhao Wenzong who was about to enter the next classroom. Zhao Wenzong, like her, came alone. It is true that the children of the poor will become the masters early.
Xie Wanying originally wanted to ask him if he had changed his choice for the college entrance examination, but then she thought about it. It would be useless to ask him after he had already filled it out, and it would also affect his mood during the exam.
The first subject in the morning was Chinese. Since she already knew the content and standard answers of the test paper, Xie Wanying quickly finished the test paper. She was afraid that the marking teacher would suspect her of cheating, so she deliberately wrote a few wrong answers.
After the exam, she went home for lunch. Sun Rongfang did not dare to ask her daughter. Xie Changrong took his son to his father's house for dinner, pretending to be angry with the mother and daughter.
The exam lasted for three days. At the end of the exam, because there was no air conditioning and only a large fan during the hottest weather, the candidates who were sweating profusely after the exam felt a little exhausted. Xie Wanying saw someone fainting at the door of the classroom after leaving the exam room.
"Send, send, send, send to the hospital quickly." Several teachers carried the fainted students and ran out quickly.
Later, when Xie Wanying returned home, she found that Zhou Ruomei suddenly called her mother.
"How did Yingying do in the exam? The weather is so hot, have you finished the questions?" Zhou Ruomei asked in a tone that seemed to be very concerned about the health of the junior.
Sun Rongfang was honest and thought that her cousin really cared about her daughter. She said happily: "I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so I made herbal tea for her to take to the examination room. Now after three days of taking the examination, she seems to be fine. I
I feel like she did pretty well in the exam."
"Didn't you faint? I see Yingying is quite thin. This is why I'm worried that she can't be a doctor. To be a doctor, the first condition must be good health."
"Yes, she told me the same thing. She is going for a run after the exam now, saying she is exercising in advance."
