Chapter 206 College Entrance Examination
It was already evening when we returned from the beach.
Liang Jing had been playing all day and was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
"Little sister, sit down for a while. I'll call you out to eat after dinner is ready."
Back in the courtyard, Liang Ming said to Liang Jing.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jing quickly shook her head and said, "Big brother, don't call me anymore. I'm so sleepy right now, I just want to get some sleep."
"Just let me sleep until tomorrow morning!"
Seeing Liang Jing's tired appearance, and not realizing she was reading, Liang Ming opened the door for her.
As soon as the door opened, Liang Jing crawled into bed and fell asleep immediately, too lazy to even close the door.
"Xiaoming, we're back. Have you thought of a way to let your sister rest?"
Just then, his mother, Li Lan, returned home from work and called out to Liang Ming as soon as she entered the yard.
Liang Ming quickly made a "shh" gesture and pointed in the direction of the house.
Seeing this, Li Lan looked into the room and saw Liang Jing, who was already fast asleep. A smile immediately appeared on her face.
"You actually managed to lull my son to sleep, son! How did you do that?"
Liang Min, who was standing next to Li Lan, also looked at Liang Ming with curiosity.
Liang Ming smiled and said to his parents, "Isn't that simple?"
He immediately told his parents everything that had happened on the beach that day.
After listening, Mr. and Mrs. Liang Min both gave Liang Ming a thumbs up:
"Son, you always have a way."
Liang Ming smiled smugly: "Of course."
“You’re getting all worked up over me just because I said you’re fat,” Li Lan said with a smile, seeing her son’s smug expression.
"Let her get a good night's sleep. She should feel much better when she wakes up tomorrow."
Liang Min quietly closed her daughter's bedroom door and whispered.
Liang Ming and Li Lan both nodded upon hearing this.
After the three finished dinner, they went back to their room to rest.
The next day at noon, Liang Jing woke up from her sleep and felt refreshed.
She pushed open the door and saw Liang Ming picking vegetables in the yard. She smiled and said, "Good morning, brother."
Hearing Liang Jing's words, Liang Ming laughed and said, "Silly girl, it's already noon, why are you still saying good morning?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Jing was taken aback: "It's already noon?"
She looked up and saw the sun high in the sky, casting a short shadow over her.
It really is noon!
She thought she had only slept for one night, but she didn't expect it to have been almost a day and a night.
"What should I do? The college entrance exam is tomorrow, and I only have one afternoon and one evening to study?"
Liang Jing immediately tensed up again.
"Little sister, don't be too nervous. You've been studying high school material for three years. Even if you skip half a day of review, it won't have any impact."
"What you need to do now is simply go through the key points and perform normally tomorrow."
Seeing this, Liang Ming said to Liang Jing.
Hearing her brother's words, Liang Jing knew that this was the only thing she could do at the moment.
Moreover, after relaxing yesterday, Liang Jing's mental state was no longer so tense.
After lunch, she started reading in the yard.
Liang Ming didn't disturb her. He and Jiwa went outside the yard and collected the villagers' mountain products.
In the evening, Liang Min and his wife returned from the factory early.
I prepared a nutritious and delicious dinner for Liang Jing.
Steamed sea bass is a good source of nutrition for the brain.
Bone broth is a good source of calcium and can boost immunity.
Chicken stew with shiitake mushrooms is a good source of protein to keep you energized.
Bananas are a good choice for dessert, as they can help relieve stress.
This recipe was agreed upon by Liang Ming and his parents.
All this was so that my younger sister could stay in top form and take the college entrance exam.
Liang Jing understood the good intentions of her parents and older brother, and after eating and drinking her fill, she went inside to rest early.
After seeing Liang Jing fall asleep, Liang Min and his wife, along with Liang Ming, exchanged glances and then went inside to sleep as well.
However, none of them slept well that night.
Liang Jing's college entrance examination was a dream come true for her whole family.
Liang Ming also hopes that his younger sister can get into the university she wants, enter a government agency, have a secure job for life, and become a person of high status.
As a businessman, he could amass enormous wealth, but once that wealth reached a certain level, he needed the support of powerful figures to maintain it.
If my younger sister can get into the University of Political Science and Law, and if she gets excellent grades, she can be directly assigned to the provincial office after graduating in four years.
If it develops well, its future is limitless.
With his sister's connection, he will be able to expand his business even further in the future.
……
The day of the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).
The entire city is under martial law.
Police patrolled near all the college entrance examination sites.
Countless students taking the college entrance examination enter the examination hall, embracing their future.
Years of hard work will be validated at this moment.
It is said that there are golden houses in books, and the moment they enter the college entrance examination hall is also the time for them to cash in.
Getting into university means a bright future.
Candidates who fail the exam but have urban residency still have a chance to find good jobs.
For students with rural household registration, the only option left is to go out and find work.
"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, I'm going into the exam room."
Liang Jing stood outside the examination hall and spoke to Liang Min and his wife, as well as Liang Ming.
“Go, go,” Li Lan said.
"Keep it up, be serious, cautious, and calm. That's my advice for answering the questions," Liang Min said.
The couple took two days off specifically to support their daughter's college entrance exam.
"Xiaojing, I believe in your abilities. Don't be nervous, just relax and answer the questions."
Liang Ming also said to Liang Jing.
"I wish you great success and that you achieve your goal!"
After receiving blessings from her parents and older brother, Liang Jing nodded and confidently walked into the examination room.
Watching Liang Jing walk into the examination room, Liang Ming's face showed a hint of nervousness.
Although he had done everything he could, he still had some worries in his heart.
After all, the 1985 college entrance examination was not easy. That year, 176 million candidates took the exam, but only 62 were admitted.
The acceptance rate is only 35%!
This includes the number of students admitted to vocational schools, junior colleges, and universities.
If we only consider the undergraduate admission rate, the actual pass rate is only 8%.
The undergraduate students admitted include not only current high school seniors but also some repeat students.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the college entrance examination is like a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops crossing it.
"Little sister, whether our family business can grow big in Taoyuan City, and whether we can maintain it after it grows big, depends on you."
Liang Ming murmured softly.
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has passed in the blink of an eye.
When Liang Jing came out of the examination room, she had a smile on her face.
Seeing Liang Jing's smile, Liang Min and his wife also showed a hint of anticipation on their faces:
"Xiaojing, how did the exam go?"
Liang Ming looked at Liang Jing expectantly.
Feeling the expectant gazes of her parents and older brother, Liang Jing smiled and said:
"That's naturally... a piece of cake."
