Sitting in the examination room, as the last paper was handed in, Xu Youyou inevitably began to daydream while waiting for the teacher to count the results.
The college entrance examination, is it over just like that
I have been studying for twelve years, and this time is a test of the results of those twelve years.
In the glass cabinet at home there is still a group photo of everyone at the school gate on the first day of elementary school. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, I had finished the last exam and officially ended my high school life.
Xu Youyou can no longer remember the days she spent in the welfare home. If it weren't for Grandma Wu, she would probably have forgotten that she had ever lived in the welfare home.
After all, she had only spent three short years in the orphanage in her eighteen years of life, and during two of those years she was still a baby who knew nothing. The good and the bad, the happy and the unhappy things were gradually forgotten as she grew up.
All Xu Youyou can remember are the days when she lived happily with her mother and everyone else.
Oh, and dad.
When Xu Youyou was in fourth grade, she followed Qing Yixing to the cemetery to see her father.
The man in the photo still has that familiar hearty smile on his face, but unfortunately his age has forever remained at the age of twenty-six.
If... Dad hadn't died in an accident, he and Mom would have lived a happy life, right
Qing's father and mother have kept their promise over the years and have not disturbed the lives of the mother and daughter. They only send them a birthday gift on their respective birthdays, which includes valuable items and some of their father's belongings.
Everyone tacitly maintained a familiar stranger level, and no one took the initiative to cross the boundary.
But unexpectedly, Xu Youyou and Qing Yixing, the man who could also be called uncle, gradually became familiar with each other.
At first, it was because of the land that he had to compensate Xu Youyou. After that, Qing Yixing invested in a project in Jiangcheng, and naturally he became the "courier" who delivered the gifts.
When this uncle got married, he invited Xu Youyou, who was ten years old at the time, to be a flower girl. Later, she also held Qing Yixing's son, who was twelve years younger than her.
Like this time during the college entrance examination, Qing Yixing also sent a message of encouragement, and even told Xu Youyou not to worry if she failed the exam, as he could give her another piece of land.
This was a joke about Xu Youyou hearing "piece of land" as "express delivery".
Of course, Xu Youyou said that she was very confident in herself, so she decided to keep this "express delivery" for other people to use.
After the exam, although Xu Youyou did not check her answers, she had participated in so many mock exams after all, so she would have a preliminary judgment in her mind.
This year's mathematics is more difficult, and it should be the subject that widens the score gap.
There are no problems with Chinese and English. I guess the only points lost are in the composition. Thinking about it, Xu Youyou couldn't help but look at the scenery outside the window.
Green trees and blue sky, everything seems so quiet and peaceful.
Her mother and Juanjuan must be waiting for her at the school gate. Although she was clearly told that they didn't need to wait, her mother said it was a sense of ritual. Her mother, who never believed in those things, even wore a cheongsam these two days, which meant "a successful start."
Thinking of the ways her mother, Juanjuan, and Aunt Qin had encouraged her before she went into the inspection in the morning, Xu Youyou couldn't help but have the corners of her mouth slowly rise.
