Chapter 18 College Entrance Examination

Chen Qiaoshan has been with Yan Xiaoqin these days, and is still during the SARS epidemic. Before the college entrance examination, the school strictly prohibits senior high school students from leaving school.

The two of them either found a corner to read books or wandered around. The campus was full of students like them. In the last few days, they mainly relaxed. There was no need to review the books. If they were bored, they would read books, and if they were tired, they would go around.

Yan Xiaoqin would contact her family every day, and Chen Qiaoshan was by her side. Her parents were even more nervous than her when they were talking. Most of the time she listened quietly and occasionally said a few words to comfort her parents.

He probably did the same in his previous life, but he was more impatient with his parents' advice. Chen Qiaoshan felt a little regretful. Now he thought he was really ignorant at that time.

After dinner, he accompanied Yan Xiaoqin to call again. Seeing her chatting with her parents on the phone, Chen Qiaoshan felt a little envious and thought that he might have to contact his family, but he was a little hesitant.

In the end, he decided to call back. After all, he left a lot of regrets in his previous life. Now he has the chance, he still wants to make up for the guilt in his heart.

When Yan Xiaoqin hung up, he grabbed the phone and dialed the number of the second uncle's family. As soon as he rang, it was connected.

"Hey, who?"

Chen Qiaoshan heard that this was the voice of his second uncle in his memory and hurriedly said, "Second uncle, it's me!"

Before Chen Qiaoshan could continue to say anything, the second uncle shouted on the other end of the phone: "Lao Wu, Qiaoshan's phone is here, you come and answer." Then there was a few seconds of silence.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little lucky. Chen Weiguo was at his second uncle's house now, so there was no need to bother him.

"Hey, Dashan, are you okay? How are you going to do there?"

When Chen Weiguo's voice came from the microphone, Chen Qiaoshanmoto's a little restless mood calmed down, "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry!" The two simply talked about the recent situation. After a few words, the father and son were a little cold. Both men were silent.

The phone was quiet for a few seconds, and Chen Weiguo said, "Your mother and sister are all here, tell them."

Chen Qiaoshan was stunned. Could it be that everyone in his family was waiting for his phone number?

At this time, the voice of his mother Tao Xiuying came from the receiver. This was the first time they had a conversation between the two, but Chen Qiaoshan did not feel any strangeness or estrangement. He told the recent situation again. Tao's mother was meticulous and repeatedly reminded her on the phone, just like the nagging of her mother in her previous life, which made Chen Qiaoshan feel familiar again.

Chen Qiaoshan chatted with Tao's mother for a long time, and then said a few words to Chen Xi who had just returned home. The fourth sister Chen Wan was still in the town to go to school. The phone was transmitted and finally fell into the hands of the younger sister Chen Yue.

As soon as the phone reached Chen Yue's hand, the little girl's complaint came from the microphone: "Second brother, why haven't you called back these days? We are worried about you. We come to my second uncle's house every night to wait for your phone. And my fourth sister is also worried about you, but she is in school now..."

Chen Qiaoshan listened to the chattering complaints coming from the microphone, but he didn't feel impatient. This was his relative. Chen Qiaoshan secretly made up his mind to take care of them as much as possible.

Chen Qiaoshan listened to the little sister chattering on the phone, and occasionally all kinds of curious questions popped up. Finally, with Tao Xiuying's intervention, the little girl hung up reluctantly.

Yan Xiaoqin said curiously: "You looked very strange just now!"

Chen Qiaoshan knew that he was a little out of control just now, but he had no way to explain to her, so he had to say perfunctorily: "My house has not installed a phone number and I don't contact my family often. I just called my second uncle's house..."

She did not continue to ask, and Chen Qiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

On the morning of June 6, the school began to issue admission tickets to allow candidates to familiarize themselves with the situation of the test site. The two of them walked to the examination room together. After they came out, they carefully checked the test equipment and confirmed that there were no omissions before waiting for tomorrow.

Waiting is long, but after the long wait is over, it feels that time passes too quickly.

The college entrance examination is about to begin in a few hours, but Yan Xiaoqin is worried about gains and losses. On the way to the cafeteria in the morning, she kept asking various questions.

"Will we go to Yanjing to go to university together?"

"must!"

"Can we get into Peking University?"

"Definitely!"

...

In order to calm her emotions, Chen Qiaoshan kept giving her affirmative answers, but the effect was very little.

The campus of only high school students is much empty. Today's canteen is very quiet and dull, filled with a nervous mood. Yan Xiaoqin was also affected and became silent.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at her and knew that this would not be beneficial to the exam at all. He thought for a while and said, "I'm going to do odd jobs after the college entrance examination!"

"What are you going to do?" She was indeed attracted by the question and diverted her attention.

"I'm much more capable, repairing nuclear submarine radio, polishing leather shoes, renovating, polishing and waxing of nuclear reactors, overhauling of second-hand aircraft carrier refrigerators and color TV washing machines, cleaning aircraft carrier oil tank range hoods, repairing space shuttles, replacing three-filter car tires, dust removal of high-altitude satellite surfaces... I will do these!"

Yan Xiaoqin was stunned at first, then covered her mouth and bent over and smiled. After a while, she stopped laughing and said, "Chen Qiaoshan, you are so bad! You will be in the exam later, and you are still telling jokes!"

Chen Qiaoshan was very satisfied with the effect of the joke. She obviously came out of negative emotions, "Why do I tell you a few more?"

Yan Xiaoqin gave him a coquettish look, relaxed her arms and performed a stretching exercise, and she looked much more energetic.

After all, 2003 was not an ordinary year. The first time the college entrance examination was changed to June, and the SARS epidemic suddenly encountered. Just look at the police cars and ambulances blocking the entrance to the campus and you can understand that this college entrance examination is destined to be unique.

Today, candidates must check their body temperature on site before entering the examination room, and then stick them with notes of different colors. Yellow means that your body temperature is normal and you can take the exam normally. Red is a tragedy. You have to go to the quarantine examination room to take the exam separately.

At 9:00 a.m. on June 7th, Chen Qiaoshan sat in the examination room, and wrote his name and admission ticket number on the test papers with great care. This is the moment he has been waiting for for a long time. From now on, the fate of this young man named Chen Qiaoshan will undergo earth-shaking changes.

...

At 5:00 p.m. on June 8, the last exam ended, and the 2003 college entrance examination came to an end.

During two days, some people cried bitterly and some laughed, some were depressed and some were excited. Chen Qiaoshan, who had experienced the college entrance examination once, was very moved when he saw this scene again. After all, the college entrance examination was related to the lifelong destiny of many people.

The admission ratio of millions of candidates across the country is less than one-tenth of the country. The remaining part will enter second-tier and third-tier colleges, and a large part will enter society directly after the college entrance examination. The gap between them is undoubtedly very different.

As soon as Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the place they agreed on, he found Yan Xiaoqin staring at him with a strange look. Chen Qiaoshan knew her questions, several more difficult questions in the mathematics and major comprehensive test papers, and Chen Qiaoshan once asked her about similar questions.

He did not explain, nor did he need to explain. After all, the two of them discussed many issues, and they were just a few similar questions. After thinking about it, he asked differently: "Xiao Qin, how are you doing the exam?"

"Very good, very good!" Yan Xiaoqin was very excited and hugged Chen Qiaoshan's arm directly, and said excitedly about the exam that had just finished.

Chen Qiaoshan was quite surprised. Yan Xiaoqin was very shy. She was embarrassed to hold hands before, but now she actually took the initiative to hold his arm.

Feeling the gentle touch from her arms, Chen Qiaoshan, who was already thirty years old, was also itchy and could not help but touch her firmness intentionally or unintentionally.

Yan Xiaoqin obviously felt his little movements, and her little face turned red and quickly let go of her arms, and plucked him in the eyes, making Chen Qiaoshan a little lost.

Yan Xiaoqin went home tonight, and Chen Qiaoshan's house was too far away and could not go back, so she was planning to leave tomorrow.

"Let's go out to the school!" Yan Xiaoqin said. The two of them had not left the school gate for a long time.

Chen Qiaoshan suggested: "Let's go to have a meal first, go to the city after dinner, and then I'll take you home. How do you think this is going?"

Yan Xiaoqin was very satisfied and came directly to take his arm, which surprised Chen Qiaoshan. Just as he was about to say something, he had to look at him with a warning look, so he had to be honest.

The school gate is bustling and bustling, and it is surrounded by students and parents.

The two of them avoided the crowd from afar and discussed where to eat. Suddenly they heard a few car horns, which were loud and right behind them.
