The college entrance examination at the end of the 1990s was scheduled in the scorching heat of July, and during the scorching summer, 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, I'll do it by myself." Xie Wanying turned around and said to her mother who wanted to send her to the examination room.
Sun Rongfang didn't have time to react, and saw her daughter go out alone.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Wanying rode her old, creaky bicycle and rushed to the examination room by herself.
When I came to the entrance of the examination room of No. 8 Middle School, I saw a car head-on. Xie Wanying put the bicycle into the parking shed, and saw her deskmate Zhang Wei getting off the car.
It should be said that there are people coming and going at the entrance of the examination room, which is very lively. Parents of many candidates personally went to the examination room to accompany the candidates to take the exam. The college entrance examination not only changes the fate of an examinee but also the fate of a family. Parents pin all their hopes on their children's college entrance examination. One by one, they helped organize and check the schoolbags for the children, talking 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 are too many people, let alone crowded together, the weather is still hot, standing for a long time will sweat profusely, and there is no place to enjoy the cool on site, it is equivalent to basking in the sun for several hours at a time.
Which of the parents of candidates who came here is not waiting for their children to finish the exam before leaving together.
The class teacher Liu Hui also came. Liu Hui doesn't need to be an invigilator, so she came here to cheer up her students. After Zhang Wei's mother brought Zhang Wei there, she chatted with Liu Hui.
Xie Wanying walked through the line of candidates at the school gate by herself, and walked directly to the exam classroom.
When I arrived at the corridor of the examination room, I saw Zhao Wenzong who was planning to enter the next classroom. Like her, Zhao Wenzong came alone. It is true that the children of the poor are headed home early.
Xie Wanying originally wanted to ask him if he had changed his college entrance examination aspirations, but then he thought about it, and it would not help to fill it out, and it would also affect the mood of the exam.
The first subject in the morning was Chinese. Since she already knew the contents of the test paper and the standard answers, Xie Wanying quickly finished the test paper. Fearing that the marking teacher might suspect her of cheating, she deliberately wrote a few wrong answers.
After the exam, go home for lunch. Sun Rongfang didn't dare to ask her daughter. Xie Changrong took his son to his father's house for dinner, pretending to be angry with their mother and daughter.
The exam lasted for three days. After the exam, because the weather was the hottest, there was no air conditioner and only a big fan. The candidates who finished the exam were sweating and felt a little exhausted. Xie Wanying saw with her own eyes that someone passed out at the door of the classroom after leaving the examination room.
"Send it, send it to the hospital quickly." Several teachers carried the fainted student and ran out quickly.
Later, when Xie Wanying came home, she found that Zhou Ruomei had suddenly called her mother.
"How is Yingying doing 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 younger generation.
Sun Rongfang was honest, thinking that her cousin really cared about her daughter, and said happily: "I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so I made herbal tea for her to take to the examination room. Now after the three-day test, she seems to be fine. I I think she did pretty well."
"Did you faint? I think Yingying is quite thin. That's why I worry that she won't be able to be a doctor. To be a doctor, the first condition must be good health."
"Yes, she told me the same thing. Now she is going for a run after the exam, saying she is exercising in advance."
