Chapter 17 [17] The Exam Is Over
The college entrance examination in the late 1990s 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 rode her old, noisy bicycle alone and rushed to the examination room.
Arriving at the entrance of the No. 8 Middle School examination room, I saw a car. Xie Wanying put her bicycle into 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 lively with people coming and going. Many parents of candidates go 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's college entrance examination. One by one, they helped to sort and check the children's schoolbags, mumbling incessantly.
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 they were crowded together. It was still hot and I was sweating profusely after standing for a long time. Moreover, there was no place to enjoy the shade, so I had to bask in the sun for several hours.
The 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 doesn't have to be an invigilator, so she comes 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 walked directly to the examination classroom.
When I arrived at the examination room corridor, 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 rich 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.
After the exam, go 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 period, the candidates who were sweating profusely after the exam felt a little exhausted. Xie Wanying witnessed someone fainting at the door of the classroom after leaving the examination room.
"Send, send, send, send to the hospital quickly." Several teachers carried the fainted students and ran out quickly.
Later, Xie Wanying returned home and 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 junior's health.
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 and asked her to take it to the examination room. Now after three days of taking the examination, she seems to be fine. I I feel like she did very 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."
