Chapter 51 College Entrance Examination
After resting at home for half a month, He Shu was ready to return to school.
There are less than ten days left before the college entrance examination.
Before returning to school, He Shu contacted teacher Li Mei and went to her home.
Teacher Li Mei has been pregnant for more than eight months. Because she is a late-born child and is an elderly pregnant woman, she started her leave early and will return to teaching only after she gives birth.
Teacher Li Mei's lover works in a small company as an ordinary employee. He Shu saw the photos of him displayed at home and saw that he looked like an honest man.
I heard that on the day He Shu was kidnapped, Teacher Li Mei’s lover also went there and helped a lot. Unfortunately, He Shu didn’t see it and couldn’t thank him in person.
"He Shu, how is your leg injury?"
Li Mei poured He Shu a glass of sour plum juice and sat next to him.
"It's okay, everything has healed." He Shu smiled and slowly looked around Teacher Li's home. The house was not big and was very cozy.
Li Mei was also looking at He Shu. She couldn't help but pull He Shu's hand and didn't mention the kidnapping again.
"You've changed so much in the blink of an eye. I heard from Xia Miao that you have very good grades. Are you confident about the college entrance examination this time?"
"Yes." He Shu was a little embarrassed: "I originally planned to wait until the college entrance examination results came out before coming to see you."
"The teacher believes in you, and you always know what you should do."
Looking back, the little boy who accompanied his mother in the hospital has grown taller.
He Shu, who used to remain silent and stand alone in the corner when being bullied by his classmates, now talks to people with a smile on his face.
Li Mei was very pleased to see the changes in He Shu.
She has taught many students and is no longer the young , but over the years, He Shu is the only one she has always been thinking about.
At noon, Teacher Li Mei invited He Shu to have lunch at her home.
Usually her husband doesn't come back at noon, so she cooks some simple meals for herself.
He Shu came today. Li Mei was happy and took out all the food from the refrigerator to treat him well.
How could He Shu let the teacher cook for him while she was pregnant? He rushed to do it, letting the teacher go to rest, and said jokingly that he wanted to show off his skills to the teacher today.
Seeing that he insisted, Li Mei helped him from the side.
During lunch, Li Mei praised He Shu's cooking skills highly.
The two of them ate and chatted, talking about study and life.
The more they talked, the more Li Mei could feel how much He Shu had changed. He had gradually walked out of the shadows and into the sunlight...
Li Mei felt that the things that He Shu had experienced in the past had also made his heart extremely strong.
Just like this time when he encountered such a dangerous thing, it did not have any impact on his psychology.
Moreover, he was able to counterattack criminals who were stronger than him in such a situation, which required not only mental calmness but also great perseverance.
Li Mei believes that He Shu will achieve great success in the future...
He Shu also has a feeling of dependence and admiration for Teacher Li Mei. People will meet many people in their lives, and some of them will have great significance in their lives.
For example, Li Mei is He Shu’s benefactor.
If it weren't for Teacher Li Mei's care and attention back then, He Shu might not be where he is today.
Maybe he would drop out of middle school, and then live alone in the darkness, full of despair and hatred towards the world.
So one person's words and actions may really change another person's life.
"Teacher, please take a rest. I will come to see you after I finish the exam."
After dinner, He Shu helped Li Mei clean up the kitchen and prepared to leave.
By the time he finishes the exam and gets the results, the teacher will be about to give birth, and she can see the baby then.
"Okay, teacher, I won't send you off. Be careful on your way back."
Li Mei said she didn't want to see him off, but she still walked He Shu to the outside of the staircase.
"Don't be nervous during the exam. Although the college entrance examination is very important, you should also try to treat it with a normal mind. As long as you have accumulated enough experience, there won't be too many unexpected changes."
"The most important thing about the college entrance examination is actually your mentality. Of course, the teacher thinks you don't need to worry about this..."
Although she told He Shu not to be nervous, Li Mei was actually more nervous than He Shu.
He Shu listened attentively and nodded from time to time. The midday sun shone on He Shu's young face, making the gentle smile on his face even brighter.
This smile is very similar to his mother's.
Li Mei stopped nagging. She remembered the pleading look of the woman with the same gentle face on the hospital bed, and raised her hand to touch He Shu's face.
"Keep doing your best, He Shu. The teacher is waiting for your good news."
…
With only a few days left before the college entrance exam, there is no longer any need for tedious and stressful study.
All teachers are doing their best to help students adjust their mindset. Just as Teacher Li Mei said, in addition to the accumulation of knowledge in daily life, the most important thing for the college entrance examination is the mindset.
Although all roads lead to Rome, the college entrance examination may not be the only way out, but it can at least provide multiple choices and multiple ways out in the future.
A nine-story tower is built by piling up earth. A thousand miles are achieved by taking small steps. Chase your own success.
The banners that He Shu once admired were all pasted all over the corridors and classrooms. The students in the dormitory were so excited that they wanted to carve the word "Chong" on their foreheads in an attempt to sharpen their swords before the battle.
Every day the teacher repeats those encouraging words, and at this time all students are treated equally and no possibility is given up.
This is a journey of life with a way forward but no way back. It is the youth that all college entrance examination candidates will hate and miss so much when they recall it in the days ahead...
On June 7th, the weather was clear and sunny.
Zhao Qishui, Xiao Dong, and Aunt Liu escorted He Shu to the test site.
Along the way, the three people were more nervous than He Shu, and they checked his admission ticket, ID card, stationery, etc. from time to time.
Then, they all seemed to be hesitant to speak. They clearly wanted to say something to encourage him, but were afraid to add more pressure to He Shu.
Seeing them like this, He Shu felt relaxed and even a little happy.
Someone sent him to the exam, and someone waited for him after he left the exam room. These were things He Shu had once envied so much, and now he had them all.
Xia Miao and He Shu were in different examination rooms. When He Shu woke up early, he saw the QQ message she sent him, which was a picture with her name on the list of successful candidates .
He also replied to Xia Miao: "Come on!"
There was only one subject in the morning. There was no need to go into detail about the examination process. He Shu just lowered his head and concentrated on answering his own test paper, blocking out all external interference.
He Shu did not answer quickly. The dictation and multiple-choice questions were easy points. The difficult part was the composition, which accounted for a large number of points. He had to think out the entire thread of the article in a short period of time, and finally get the approval of the teacher who graded the paper.
Although He Shu's academic performance is not seriously imbalanced and his reading volume is sufficient, his writing can only be considered to be on topic. He does not have the talent and will definitely not be able to impress the teachers who mark the papers.
After he finished answering the questions, he found that someone had already handed in their papers ahead of time. He did not move because he could not leave the examination room before the deadline anyway.
I might as well check it word by word from the beginning again...
At 11:30, I came out of the examination room with other people. There were countless parents waiting anxiously outside the door.
He Shu found Uncle Zhao and the others at a glance and squeezed over with a smile.
"How is it? How was your performance?" Xiao Dong couldn't wait to ask.
"Very good." Xiao Dong was happy when he heard He Shu say it was good.
Zhao Qishui pulled He Shu into the car and said, "Let's go. You must be hungry. Let's go home and eat."
He Shu thought that Aunt Liu had gone back to work, but when he returned to Uncle Zhao's house, he found that Aunt Liu was there and had already prepared a table of food.
They were afraid that the food outside was not clean, so they bought vegetables and cooked them at home.
Try to avoid anything that may affect the exam.
He Shu was so moved that he couldn't express it in words. None of these people had any blood relationship with him, but they gave him the most love.
There was an exam at three o'clock in the afternoon, so He Shu was asked to take a rest after lunch, so as to be full of energy in the afternoon.
When he returned to the room, the QQ message notification sound rang on his mobile phone. He Shu opened it and saw that it was indeed Xia Miao.
