Phi-Fic Chapter 217: Score
Chapter 217: Score
Just before the Chinese New Year, there was another heavy snowfall.
The snow fell heavily, and the sky and the earth turned white overnight.
When Qin Wangshu woke up in the morning, she felt that it was very bright outside. She thought she got up late, but when she looked at her watch, she found that it was the time she usually woke up.
After putting on her clothes and opening the door, she saw the yard covered with snow like a carpet.
The snow in the yard was completely covered. It seemed that Aunt Luo had not gotten up yet. However, the falling snow did not seem to stop. Qin Wangshu looked at the water tank in the yard worriedly, wondering if the water in the tank had frozen.
Qin Wangshu changed out of the cotton shoes he had just put on, put on a pair of rubber shoes that could wade through water, and then walked into the snow.
She first went to check the water tank in the yard, and after opening the lid, she found that although it was frozen, the ice was not thick. She used a gourd ladle to break the ice into pieces.
Seeing that the ice in the tank was quite thin, Qin Wangshu walked into the kitchen with confidence.
After entering the kitchen, she lit the stove first, then scooped some water into the pot and started boiling.
The water in the pot hadn't boiled yet when Qin Wangshu heard Aunt Luo opening the door. Sure enough, Aunt Luo walked into the kitchen a few moments later.
"Auntie, I'm boiling water. It's already hot. You can scoop some for washing first."
"Okay, have you washed your face?" Aunt Luo said as she prepared to come over to scoop water.
"Not yet, I'll wash now." She turned down the fire in the stove and began to scoop hot water into her washbasin.
"You got up pretty early today."
"I guess I misread the time. It was so bright outside, I thought I got up late! But the snow is really falling at the wrong time. I don't know if Brother Wu will encounter this snow on the way."
After Qin Wangshu finished speaking, Aunt Luo also began to worry.
“His car is big, so there shouldn’t be any problem.” Aunt Luo had seen the car Yang Mingye drove. It was a big car that could carry a lot of things, so she thought it wouldn’t be afraid of the snow.
"Well, there will definitely be no problem." After Qin Wangshu finished washing up, he put his things back to his bedroom and then came back to the kitchen to help.
Not long after breakfast, they saw the person they had been talking about.
"Why did you come back at this time? It's too cold outside. Come in and warm up." Aunt Luo patted Yang Mingye's shoulder worriedly and brushed the snow off his shoulder.
Yang Mingye took the towel from Aunt Luo's hand and cleaned the snow off his body.
"Mom, the scores are out." Yang Mingye said this after he had cleaned the snow off his body.
After he finished speaking, Qin Wangshu just came over with some hot water. "Fifth brother, what did you say?"
"I said, the scores are out." Yang Mingye repeated, "It's just that the scores are at the county education bureau, so it's a bit troublesome to check them."
"Then how do you know the scores, fifth brother?" Qin Wangshu handed the hot water in his hand to Yang Mingye, wondering whether he should go over to check his scores.
Qin Wangshu knew that even if she didn't check her scores, the notification letter would arrive soon, so she was a little hesitant about whether she should go to check her scores in the heavy snow.
"For those of us who have jobs, the Education Bureau will call our units to tell us our scores, but it's a bit troublesome for the communes below to check the scores," Yang Mingye explained.
"Well, eldest son, how did you do in the exam?" Aunt Luo asked.
"I did OK in the exam. I should be able to get into the school I applied for." After he found out his score, he called his former supervisor, who also said that his score was good enough for admission to military school.
