CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 409: THE EXAM BEGINS

"Dad, Mom, be careful on the road."

"Don’t rush, take the exam slowly."

"Don’t overthink, eat well and drink well."

No matter how much gossip there is outside about Wang Gang and Dong Juan, Cai Ming and his group pretend not to know anything. First, they know that acknowledging this would only bring bad luck to those two, and second, no one informed them about it, so they couldn’t just go out and ask.

Moreover, discussing those two’s situation would be a waste of time; it would be better to do another set of practice papers.

After this intense preparation, even Wan Qiweng, who always thought she wouldn’t do well in exams, felt very confident. Before leaving yesterday, she said she was sure she could get into Shuimu University.

This surprised Gong Ruini greatly, not because Wan Qiweng said she would get into Shuimu University, but because it meant three generations of their family would attend the same university.

What does that mean? It indicates that their family background is quite substantial and, of course, they must be academic stars; otherwise, they wouldn’t all go to Shuimu University.

Of course, they also need to be solid in strength; being just smart without the economic capability wouldn’t suffice.

Cai Meina looked at the children, especially pulling Ni Zi over for a kiss, "Don’t worry, we’ll only be away for a few days, back by the 13th."

Although Cai Meina still felt a bit nervous, after all, it was an exam, who wouldn’t be anxious?

Even though these past days, Cai Meina had experienced many exams, the day after tomorrow’s exam was different; it would determine whether they could leave here, how could she not be excited.

"Mom, it’s okay, you will definitely pass," Gong Ruini didn’t know why Cai Meina was so anxious, her grades were really not bad, "Our family will definitely study in Beijing."

"Ni Zi’s mom will definitely become a college student." Gong Ruini expressed great confidence in Cai Meina.

"Mom, you can’t compare yourself with your uncles, they have a good foundation, you should compare yourself with others, their scores are far below yours." Although her comfort might not help much, it was necessary.

Gong Ruini expected that after Cai Meina got the test paper, she might become this tense.

Even though in her past life, Gong Ruini hadn’t seen the winter exam papers, she knew that the difficulty wasn’t really high, after all, if it were too difficult, who knows how many could get into university?

"As long as you bring your skills from practicing simulation tests, you’ll definitely make it," Gong Ruini cheered her on.

These days, Cai Meina had heard so many comforting words, but for some reason, her daughter’s words made her slowly settle down, not so tense anymore.

Of course, no matter how nervous she was, it was useless, the exams were unavoidable, and they had already registered, so she had to stand up and see how she would perform.

Gong Tao looked at the two who were still talking without any intention to set off, "Alright, let’s go, or we’ll reach the county town very late."

Cai Meina responded with a hum, once again pulling Gong Ruini over for a strong hug, "Alright, be good at home and listen to your brothers."

"When Mom finishes the exam, I’ll buy you delicious food." After making a promise to Gong Ruini, Cai Meina boarded the carriage, a treatment given by Li Jian Country.

Ever since Zhao Gang and the others signed up for the college entrance exam, Gong Ruini noticed that Li Jian Country treated them much better.

For instance, this time for the exam, before Zhao Gang went to the village to borrow an ox cart, Li Jian Country had proactively brought up the matter.

No matter how much they disliked Li Jian Country as a person, they all thought his suggestion was great, much better than having to follow another village’s exam convoy.

First, because they were unfamiliar, and second, they had heard from Dong Juan that someone might target them; although Dong Juan was in trouble now, who knew if someone would still foolishly try to complete such a task?

So having their own carriage was a good thing; if something did happen, they wouldn’t harm others, and since they were all familiar, there was no worry about anyone secretly sabotaging them.

After watching the carriage leave, the children’s faces drooped, "I wonder if Mom and the others can get into university."

"Alright, I’m going to rest." Zhao Guangran was not just concerned about getting into university; he genuinely felt like sleeping.

These days, Zhao Guangran truly felt exhausted, "At last, I don’t have to copy exam papers anymore, I’ve been dreaming about continuously copying papers."

When Zhao Guangran said these words, his body shivered, truly terrifying, "Thankfully, it’s all over."

Gong Ruini was also quite happy about this; these days seeing all those things made her feel like vomiting, there were just too many papers, some of which she didn’t know where Wan Qiweng had dug out.

Anyway, Wan Qiweng was responsible for finding the papers, but making sure all six of them had papers to do was Gong Ruini and the others’ responsibility.

If it wasn’t close to exam time, Gong Ruini really wanted to invent a printing press and quickly print exam papers.

As for now, Gong Ruini was a thousand percent supportive of Zhao Guangran’s suggestion.

They had been eating well these days, but the lack of rest was unbearable, and Gong Ruini felt her body constantly protesting.

"Rest well today, we’ll resume classes tomorrow." Zhao Xuran really didn’t want to say it, but there was no choice, they hadn’t had proper classes these days and didn’t know how Guangran and the others were doing.

It’s not long until the final exams, Zhao Xuran hoped his siblings could all achieve good results.

With Gong Ruini, Zhao Xuran was at ease in every way, but when it came to Zhao Guangran, he wasn’t so confident, truly worried that this guy would only scrape a passing mark.

Oh no, really? Gong Ruini turned with displeasure at Zhao Xuran, not wanting to speak for Zhao Guangran, but after working so hard for so long, they deserved a few days off to rest properly and adjust their mindset before getting back into study mode.

Zhao Guangran immediately shouted, "Brother, you’re so ruthless."

"We’ve been working hard for so long, and you won’t even give us a break." Their big brother was being more unreasonable, bullying him was fine, but now he wouldn’t even let these hard-working note-takers have a holiday, truly excessive.

"Once the final exam is over, we’ll have a three-day break, do whatever you want." Zhao Xuran considered himself quite generous, granting holidays when they were due.

Final exams coming up, oh my, Gong Ruini finally understood why Zhao Xuran wouldn’t let them rest, the finals were approaching. No objections then, let’s have classes.

Unless there were surprises, this would be their last exam in the Northeast, the report card would be taken to Beijing’s elementary school, so Gong Ruini wanted a good result, making it easier whether they studied normally or skipped grades in Beijing, so this exam couldn’t have any mishaps.

Another final exam, although Zhao Guangran wasn’t scared of such exams, in his eyes, his brother’s tests were even harder, but since it was an official exam, he had to give it his all, otherwise, if his brother knew he was slacking, he’d get a solid lecture, so he couldn’t relax.
