Chapter 315 Preliminary Examination
Chapter 315 Preliminary Examination
Before we knew it, it was December 5th.
Early in the morning, Lu Yuanqing led all the candidates from the commune to take the exam.
That's right, it's all the candidates from the entire commune.
Because there is a large truck in the village and the road is long, and this exam only takes one day to complete, there is no need to stay in the county. You can leave on the same day you finish the exam.
If it were to involve changing trains repeatedly, Lu Yuanqing would not be able to bear the suffering of Lu Mingdong and the others. It was rare that he would use his position for the first time to requisition the large truck from the bamboo ware factory.
They planned to drive a large truck to take Lu Mingdong and the others to the exam that day.
Having brought along their own family, how could they possibly forget Liu Ling?
Before Lu Yuanqing could even speak, Lu Mingnan had already signed him up.
With Liu Ling brought along, the other educated youth at the settlement naturally learned of the news and rushed to Zhao Zhongcai's place.
The result was simple: they took all the test takers from their entire village in one car.
However, the candidates from other production teams found out about this, and they were smart enough not to ask Lu Yuanqing and his group for help, but instead went directly to the educated youth office.
The office for educated youth approached the commune again.
then……
Lu Yuanqing sat in the back of the truck, with a haystack under his buttocks, feeling the stuffy air.
The entire truck bed was packed with people, a dense crowd.
As for the passenger seat, Cheng Xia and Liu Ling were already seated.
Compared to his utter despair, Lu Mingdong was on the verge of collapse.
"It's so crowded!" Lu Mingnan stretched his legs, but he still didn't straighten them; he just bent them in a different spot.
"Then why did you come along!" they said in unison.
Lu Yuanqing and Lu Mingdong stared at him speechlessly.
Lu Mingnan: "..."
"Just joining in the fun!"
Lu Yuanqing: "Ha!"
"Tch!" Lu Mingdong.
Lu Mingnan: "..."
……
When I arrived at the examination hall, there were already many people there.
After resting for a bit, we started heading into the examination room.
"Do your best on the exam, don't panic," Lu Mingnan told Liu Ling.
"Don't worry about me, I won't panic," Liu Ling said with a smile.
She was still a little nervous, but she was afraid that if she said it, Lu Mingnan would become even more nervous.
Looking at her now, it seems that Lu Mingnan, who doesn't take exams, is much more nervous than her.
Lu Mingnan nodded, "Mhm!!"
Lu Mingdong and Lu Yuanqing both looked at Lu Mingnan with calm but contemptuous eyes.
"Did he forget that you also have exams?" Lu Yuanqing stated this reality calmly.
Lu Mingdong nodded, "It should be!"
"It seems they've forgotten about me too!" Cheng Xia joined them with a smile, 'condemning' Lu Mingnan.
Lu Yuanqing and Lu Mingdong stared at her in shock. "You don't actually want him to feel guilty, do you?!"
Cheng Xia: "...So, you're indifferent to the opposite sex?"
Lu Mingdong and Lu Yuanqing nodded simultaneously.
"Third Uncle, I can hear you!" Lu Mingnan was speechless.
Liu Ling blushed with embarrassment.
"I'm telling you this!" Lu Mingdong and Lu Yuanqing said at the same time.
"Alright, let's go in! Bring paper, pens, stationery, and your admission ticket!" Lu Yuanqing interrupted everyone.
"it is good!"
As the massive crowd squeezed into the examination hall and found their seats, Lu Mingdong stared blankly at the blackboard on the podium just before the exam was about to begin.
There were no exam papers, only a teacher who took chalk and began to write the questions by hand on the blackboard.
The examination room was very quiet; the only sounds were the chalk scraping across the blackboard and the pens landing on the papers.
For Lu Mingdong, the questions written on the blackboard were very simple. After being completely bewildered, he began to copy the questions from the blackboard onto the paper that had been handed out.
He was dumbfounded again.
Although before the exam, my third uncle said that the exam should be very easy and wouldn't be difficult for him, and even jokingly told him to come back as the top scorer.
Lu Mingdong agreed readily at the time.
If being the top scorer could make Lu Yuanqing this happy, then he wouldn't have any problem getting one himself.
Finally, he, who hadn't been reading at all, picked up the textbook and started reading.
He needs to make himself more confident.
However, looking at the exam questions copied onto the paper, Lu Mingdong almost couldn't help but laugh out loud on his usually expressionless face.
That's way too easy!
It didn't take Lu Mingdong long to finish writing the answers.
Then, he started to space out.
Cheng Xia had told him not to hand in his paper early, and to check it thoroughly after finishing the questions.
Lu Mingdong quickly read it twice and found no mistakes. After confirming that he should be able to get full marks, he fell into a daze.
therefore.
The proctor rolled his eyes at him several times, but after walking around the exam room, he passed by his seat, saw that the paper was already full of writing, glanced at it, and found that his answers were correct before he stopped rolling his eyes at him.
Lu Mingdong did not leave the examination room until the exam was over.
There were so many people!
All I could see were people, all bundled up in thick winter clothes, yet their faces radiated an astonishing longing.
Some candidates may not have done well on the exam, and as soon as they left the exam room, they squatted down and cried.
Lu Yuanqing shook his head and stood at the agreed place, waiting for Lu Mingdong and the others to come out.
After everyone had gathered, Lu Yuanqing led them away from the school to a state-run restaurant for lunch.
After all, I have an exam in the afternoon, so eating early will give me plenty of time to rest.
"How about that? I was right, wasn't I?" Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Mingdong.
Lu Mingdong sighed and said, "It's ridiculously easy." His initial bewilderment stemmed from his disbelief that such simple test questions existed.
Lu Yuanqing chuckled, "The actual college entrance exam will be a bit more difficult, but it should still be quite easy for you. I'm not worried about you."
Lu Mingdong curled his lips into a smile, but the smile vanished in an instant.
After a quick lunch, they found a place to rest, checked the time, and then went to take the second exam.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the exam, their preliminary exam also concluded. Whether they could participate in the official college entrance examination depended on the results of the preliminary exam; those who passed could participate, while those who failed naturally could not.
Another truckload of test takers.
After staggering home for several hours, Lu Yuanqing felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken.
"You're back! How did the exam go?" Zhao Zhongcai was waiting at the entrance of the bamboo ware factory. As soon as the truck drove back to the factory, he came up to greet him.
Someone from the Zhao family is also taking the exam today.
"Xiao Hao did well on the exam, Uncle Zhao, don't worry!" Lu Yuanqing was sitting on the outermost side, and as soon as the car stopped, he jumped out.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhongcai stopped looking at his grandson and instead asked Lu Yuanqing with a smile, "How are Xiao Dong and the others?"
Lu Yuanqing stood aside, watching with a smile as the people climbed off the truck one by one, and said with a laugh, "Of course!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled!
