October 10th

  Although Gu Xiang told her mom not to wait for her in the morning, when she came out and took a look, she saw that her mom was also waiting in the crowd.

  Fortunately, there was a thunderstorm in the morning, and after the rain stopped, the ground was still wet, which also eliminated some of the summer heat.

  Gu's mother saw Gu Xiang and quickly pushed through the crowd to lead her out, "Are you tired? Let's go home for dinner."

  Not a single question was asked about the exam.

  Gu Xiang took the initiative to say, "The language is not difficult, it's all about the exam outline, and we've been repeating it in class. The composition is also easy to write, and normal performance is no problem."

  Gu's mom relaxed after hearing her words, repeatedly saying: "Good good good, as long as it's not difficult, that's fine. Mom doesn't expect you to perform exceptionally, just performing normally is okay."

  Two people talked and went back into the store.

  After finishing the morning exam, Gu Xiang also felt quite hungry, but her mother was afraid that she would eat too quickly and affect digestion, so she had to drink a bowl of soup first to fill her stomach.

  Seeing her mother so tense, Gu Xiang was afraid that she would strain herself too much and snap.

  After lunch, Gu Xiang lay on a recliner preparing for an afternoon nap.

  Gu's mother took out a bag of disposable paper cups and put some tea leaves in each one.

  Gu Xiang asked her mom what she was doing, and Gu's mom said: "It was fine this morning, the weather wasn't too hot. But now that the sun is coming out, in case some parents waiting outside get heatstroke this afternoon, I can invite a few of them to come in and have some tea."

  When I came out of the examination room in the afternoon, I saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the store.

  Gu's mother somehow borrowed those large sunshades from a stall, propped up two of them at the entrance, and put out a pile of plastic chairs that were left over from the store's previous sales, making quite a big show.

  After finishing the first day's three subjects, I'm left with math and English.

  Gu Xiang, as the English class representative, originally spent more time on English. Therefore, the night before the exam, she only spent two hours reviewing math mistakes and memorized some English the next morning.

  With the experience of the previous day, classmates felt much easier on the second day.

  When Gu Xiang arrived at the examination hall, he didn't feel that particularly solemn atmosphere anymore.

  She didn't arrive early, but when she got to the location, she found two pieces of chocolate on the table, one Dove and one from a foreign brand with an English name.

  She thought for a moment that it should be Lin Jiahuan who gave it to her. The two of them had chatted on the phone yesterday, and Lin Jiahuan said she would bring her something to eat tomorrow. At the time, she only listened with one ear and didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, she really saw it on the table the next day.

  It is said that eating chocolate, a high-calorie food, can make people excited and more active in thinking, so everyone brought some.

  There is chocolate at home, but it's the kind that comes in bulk, and when you eat one piece, you have to unwrap a sugar paper, and then you have to throw away a handful of sugar papers, which is quite troublesome.

  Lin Jiahuan gave her a large pack of Dove chocolate, which was more convenient. She ate half of it first, regardless of whether it worked or not, just to feel at ease.

  The atmosphere was somewhat eerie after finishing the math exam.

  I heard that when handing in the papers, there were still girls crying in the neighboring class.

  It's precisely because of the high difficulty that there are many trap questions at the beginning, and the last big question is even beyond the scope of review.

  Although it was mentioned in the book, to be honest, this is not the key point, so just knowing it is fine. But no one expected that the last big question worth over 10 points would come from these non-key content.

  Although it's not ultra-beyond, but indeed came out quite biased.

  Gu Xiang hadn't even reached the school gate when his mother had already heard from other students who came out earlier that math was difficult.

  Although I have confidence in my own daughter, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

  Gu Xiang came out and took a look, her face already guessing, hurriedly saying: "It's quite difficult, there are many trap questions, but since I've all figured out it's a trap question, I'll definitely be careful. The big question at the end is not in the teacher's review focus, but when I reviewed it myself, I had looked through the book, can't get full marks, but will definitely get □□ points."

  Only after seeing her mother's relieved expression did she finally feel at ease again.

  After finishing the English exam in the afternoon, classmates returned to the classroom according to the head teacher's previous request.

  Mr. Jiang repeated how to check grades and said the time to return to school, but everyone's mind was not on this.

  In the past three years, they have been working hard from dawn till dusk, studying diligently for today's exam!

  After finishing the exam, they suddenly relaxed and took out all the test papers from their desks.

  Mr. Jiang finished speaking and left after just a few sentences, as soon as he did, everyone cheered and cheered, tore up their books, threw away their test papers, and went wild to the point of madness. In no time, the floor of the classroom was covered with white scraps of paper everywhere.

  Lin Jiahuan ran to Gu Xiang's desk and dramatically hugged her, shouting: "We're liberated! We're free!"

  Gu Xiang endured and didn't say anything that would hurt her, saying things like high school is even harder, as she hugged herself and shouted loudly.

  In the afternoon when they went home together, Gu Xiang thanked Lin Jia for the chocolate she gave her.

  Lin Jiahuan waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, just a Dove soap, you still dare to be polite with me."

  Gu Xiang then pulled out that foreign thing from her backpack, "This isn't something you gave me, is it?"

  Lin Jiahuan took it and looked at it again, "This isn't what I gave you, when I left your desk was empty...I've had this brand before, one piece costs over a hundred yuan, only during Chinese New Year would my aunt from abroad bring some back. Who gave it to you? So generous."

  Gu Xiang shook her head, indicating that she really didn't know, and had originally thought they were all given by Lin Jiahuan.

  They walked and talked at the same time, walking relatively slowly, falling behind many of their classmates.

  Gu Xiang turned around and saw Tang Lulu saying goodbye to Li Wei at the school gate, then they waved at each other and got into their respective cars.

  "What are you looking at?" Lin Jiahuan asked, seeing Gu Xiang staring blankly ahead, and Lin Jiahuan also tiptoed forward to take a peek.

  "It's nothing." Gu Xiang smiled and said.

  Before long, the two of them arrived at a fork in the road. Gu Xiang returned to the store, and her mother was waving at her from afar by the entrance. Lin Jia Huan's mother had also come to pick him up, with an electric tricycle parked not far away.

  They bid each other farewell, waved their hands and walked quickly towards their respective destinations.

  The junior high school career ended so smoothly, and for Gu Xiang, the middle school entrance examination results were not that important.

  In her previous life, after junior high school, her life underwent a drastic change, and she walked from the wide road to a fork in the road.

  Fortunately, heaven gave her a chance to start all over again.

  Where there is family, there is home.

  And all of them, in their youth, were just right.
