After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Chapter 225 College Entrance Examination

After the official announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, most people learned about the application requirements through radio, newspapers and other channels.

At the Youth League Institute, Jiang Yan brought everyone a newspaper that detailed the conditions and procedures for taking the college entrance examination.

So during this period, the captain's house had visitors coming and going from time to time.

Shen Xiaoxia and her group went to the captain's house together, and everyone was carrying something in their hands.

Aunt Guihua opened the door for them. Seeing them coming in a group, she knew why they came. She still had a gentle smile on her face, "Are you here to see your captain uncle? Come in, he happens to be at home."

Shen Xiaoxia and the others thanked her in unison, "Thank you, Auntie, for disturbing you!"

As Aunt Guihua entered the main room, she saw the team leader playing with his little grandson.

The little grandson was chubby and very cute. When he saw Shen Xiaoxia and her group, he was not shy at all and greeted them, "Hello, brothers and sisters."

Everyone responded with a smile, "Hello, little friend!"

The captain also knew their purpose. He asked Aunt Guihua to take the little grandson away. Without beating around the bush, he spoke directly to Shen Xiaoxia and the others, "I know why you're here. I'll issue a letter of introduction. Just come and get it when the time comes."

After hearing what the captain said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the captain was causing trouble and deliberately making trouble by not issuing them letters of introduction, they would still have a lot to deal with.

Seeing that the captain was so straightforward and had no intention of making things difficult for them, they immediately bowed sincerely to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Captain, you are so kind!"

"Thank you, Captain, thank you...!"

"Uncle Captain, this is a small gift from us. Please accept it..."

Everyone put the things they brought on the table in the main hall. They didn't feel sad, but were very grateful to the captain for his straightforward attitude.

The captain took a look at the things and didn't ask them to take them back. He waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back."

Everyone stopped disturbing him, thanked him again, and left the captain's house.

Aunt Guihua came out of the house and looked through the gifts they had brought. She found that the gifts were really quite generous. In addition to sugar, wine, tobacco, and tea, there was also a lot of money and notes. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy for these kids either. I guess they're afraid that you'll embarrass them, so they prepared such a generous gift."

The captain curled his lips and said, "Why should I make things difficult for them? It's their good fortune that they were able to pass the exam. I don't want to follow Ge Mancang's example. It's disgusting!"

Ge Mancang is the team leader of the neighboring village. He relies on his position as team leader to gain many benefits for himself.

Aunt Guihua laughed, "You...!"

When Shen Xiaoxia and the others left the captain's yard, they were all a little dazed. They were prepared for a long battle and had made plans for the worst. However, before they even opened their mouths, the matter was settled.

Han Zhuxin laughed, "Our captain is really unique!"

Shen Xiaoxia also smiled, "Anyway, it's a good thing." After saying that, she changed the subject, "Next, let's prepare well!"

The day before the exam, everyone packed up their exam supplies early and checked their admission tickets, pencils, erasers, pens and other items again and again.

At night, Shen Xiaoxia lay in bed, and the knowledge points that she had reviewed during this period kept emerging in her mind.

Although this was the second time she took the college entrance examination in her life, she still couldn't avoid feeling nervous.

She thought she would be too nervous to sleep, but after closing her eyes, she fell asleep soon after.

The next morning, before daybreak, there was movement in the Youth League compound.

Shen Xiaoxia was woken up by the alarm clock. After waking up, she didn't delay and got dressed immediately.

After washing up, I took out a breakfast from the space and ate it. During the meal, I also flipped through the Chinese textbook, trying to seize the last time to memorize more poems and allusions.

Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling also got up early to prepare breakfast and check if anything was missing.

On the boys' side, He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng, Zhao Fan, and Hu Shixuan were eating breakfast while discussing their ideas on answering political questions.

Jiang Yan also came to the Youth League Institute and prepared to set off with everyone. He walked over to Shen Xiaoxia, gently held her hand and said, "Xia Xia, don't be nervous, you can do it."

Shen Xiaoxia raised her head and smiled back, "Don't worry, I'm not nervous."

She was a little nervous last night, but after waking up this morning, the nervousness disappeared and she felt quite peaceful now.

After packing up, they walked out of the Youth League compound in the cold wind.

Qin Song's bicycle was also brought over. Eight people and four bicycles were just right.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to turn pale and the whole village was still asleep. Only the sound of their footsteps broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Along the way, no one spoke much, and everyone was filled with awe for the exam and longing for the future.

The cold wind was like a knife, cutting everyone's faces. Halfway through the journey, snowflakes began to float in the sky, falling on their hair and shoulders. Fortunately, the snow was not heavy and did not affect their travel.

Zhao Lingling couldn't help but sigh, "This snow is so fitting for the scene, just like our mood at the moment: pure yet a touch nervous."

Han Zhuxin responded with a smile, "Maybe this is a good omen. Auspicious snow means a good harvest. We will all get good grades in the exam today."

As they approached the examination venue, more and more people were on the road taking the exam, including educated youth like them and local youths.

Although they did not know each other, when their eyes met, they could feel each other's desire for knowledge and determination to change their destiny.

Everyone nodded to each other, as if conveying a silent encouragement.
