Li Xiaonan nodded her head and body to Mr. Gao, then plunged into the elder sister’s arms, looking as if she was so weak that she was about to faint.
"My brother is exhausted. I will carry him back first, and then let him talk to his husband in the evening." Li Jinzhu hurriedly picked up Li Xiaonan, carried him on his back and ran away.
"Go back and rest! No need to come over tonight, let him have a good rest! No need to come over!" Mr. Gao followed Li Jinzhu a few steps and waved.
Alas, this kid Xuedong is really too thin. He has worked too hard and wasted too much these days. Alas, it is really not easy for these siblings.
Mr. Gao looked at Li Jinzhu's patched clothes and Li Xuedong's thinness. He felt sad for a while, then walked back and waited for the two students.
Li Jinzhu carried Li Xiaonan on his back and ran into the small woodshed behind the foot shop.
The second sister, Li Yuzhu, who was sitting at the door of the woodshed mending clothes, jumped up with a cry, and her arms full of old clothes fell to the floor.
Li Xuedong, dressed as Li Xiaonan, was sitting next to Li Yuzhu, lowering his head and undressing an old coat. He was thrown back by Li Yuzhu.
Li Yuzhu rushed forward, and before she could hug Li Xiaonan, Li Jinzhu's legs softened and she fell to the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay, nothing happened, I'm fine." Seeing that the second sister's face turned pale with fright, Li Xiaonan quickly explained.
Li Yuzhu groaned, her legs weakened and she sat on the ground, raising her hand to wipe away the cold sweat.
On this day, her heart felt like it was boiling in oil.
"Didn't you recognize it, sir?" Li Xuedong climbed up to Li Xiaonan and asked in a low voice.
"No." Li Xiaonan stretched her neck, looked around, and pushed Li Xuedong into the woodshed, "Hurry up and change over!"
Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu were each responsible for one, and they quickly combed their hair and changed their clothes. Li Xiaonan took a long breath and said, "Okay, elder sister, watch carefully, and I will explain the test questions to my brother." p>
Li Jinzhu took the needle and thread and sat at the door mending her clothes, looking at the movement around her. Li Yuzhu went to the kitchen to boil water.
Li Xiaonan and Li Xuedong put their heads together and carefully explained to Li Xuedong the questions about today's exam, her thoughts when she wrote two articles and poems, what else she thought of, and the exam process.
After Li Xuedong understood it, he memorized it until late at night, memorizing two articles and one poem by heart.
………………………………
The next day, the results will be released in the morning and the hall number will be released in the afternoon.
The sun had just risen when two government officials came out beating gongs and pasted a red list on the snow-white wall outside the county school gate.
Mr. Gao is a tall man, standing far away from everyone, calmly watching the excitement in front of the screen wall.
He brought three students to take the exam, but he didn't have any hope.
He knew his three students very well. None of them were particularly smart, and their academic performance was very average. Moreover, no one from their Gao Family Academy had ever been on the list.
Mr. Gao was once again thinking about the things that his mother had asked him to buy when he suddenly heard someone shouting Li Xuedong. He was startled and hurriedly looked at the two students and asked: "Is that Li Xuedong who was called just now?"
The two students nodded together.
"I'll go take a look!" Mr. Gao said, holding the front of his gown and running forward.
Not long after, Mr. Gao's hat was crooked when he saw the two students. Before he could say anything, he burst into laughter and said, "It's really Xuedong, sixth! It's not simple, it's not simple! Look for it quickly, Xuedong."
What?"
Li Xuedong ranked sixth in the inner circle, and Mr. Gao's other two students were outside the outer circle.
Huang Xianzun posted a notice saying that if students outside the circle want to take the next few exams, they are allowed to do so.
Li Xuedong's sixth place greatly encouraged Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao immediately decided to let the other two students follow him all the way to the end to gain some experience.
In the afternoon, Huang Xianzun met with twenty students from the inner circle and thirty students from the outer circle in the county school hall.
According to the ranking, Li Xuedong stood in the first row.
Huang Xianzun did not ask random questions and take random exams. Instead, he selected one article from each of the top ten current art articles and explained in detail what was good and what was not good.
Mr. Gao stood outside the lobby, stretching his neck and listening in admiration.
Huang Xianzun is a serious two-ranked Jinshi. This level is very high!
After talking about the ten ink scrolls, Huang County Zun looked at the top ten one by one, walked to Li Xuedong, stopped and said with a smile: "Li Xuedong, raise your head, don't be afraid."
Li Xuedong raised his head fearfully and looked at Mr. Huang County.
Huang Xianzun's thin face has deep wrinkles and his eyes are bright and gentle.
"As a human being, you chose the mean in this reply, and your explanation is good. It's excellent! Take the test well." Huang County Zun smiled, patted Li Xuedong, and moved away.
Li Xuedong breathed a sigh of relief and felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.
When Huang Xianzun called him, he thought Huang Xianzun had found out about Ah Nan taking the exam.
Taking the exam for yourself is a serious crime!
The next day, there will be a half-day exam for the third exam in the morning and a half-day exam for the fourth and fifth exams in the afternoon.
For half a day in the morning, I wrote one article on contemporary art, one article on classics, and more than a hundred words of silent rules and regulations.
During this exam, when handing in the paper, Li Xiaonan continued her principle of following the crowd, came out without any hesitation, and immediately threw herself into the arms of the eldest sister Li Jinzhu.
Mr. Gao looked at the real little girl and fake Xuedong with great concern and affection, and kept urging Li Jinzhu to carry Xuedong back. There was still an hour and a half before the exam started in the afternoon, so let Xuedong sleep for a while.
sleep.
The two sessions in the afternoon have one hour each. There is no limit to prose, poetry, classics, or parallel prose. You can choose one piece for each session, and then meditate on the first two sentences of the morning regulations.
In the fourth round, Li Xiaonan chose a contemporary article, and in the fifth round, she chose a five-character and eight-rhyme poem. After finishing the exam, she looked exhausted and exhausted, lay on Li Jinzhu's back, and fled back to the foot shop.
