Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Participating in College Entrance Examination (Additional) _1
From the next day on, Meng Yunhan spent most of his time reading. If not for the cold at the scrap station, Old Father Zhao would take the child to collect scraps at the station.
In no time, it was time for the college entrance exam.
For Meng Yunhan to take the exam, Old Father Zhao took a few days off. The three of them went to the county seat and rented two rooms at the hostel. But due to many exam takers, they ended up renting only one room. Old Father Zhao had to stay in a dorm.
“Hanhan, are you also taking the exam?” Wang Minfang didn’t expect to see Meng Yunhan here. Ever since Meng Yunhan moved to the town, Wang hadn’t seen her. Now, unexpectedly, she sees her at the hostel, quite a stroke of luck! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
“Yes, I’m taking the exam.” Meng Yunhan didn’t want to entertain Wang Minfang. When she needs people, she resorts to tricks. When she doesn’t need them, she treats them like strangers.
Wang Minfang went around in circles before finally asking, “Hanhan, do you have a room?”
Meng Yunhan gently touched her son, “Little Huzi has been cranky these few days, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep.”
Wang Minfang felt a sudden leap in her heart and gave a forced smile, “Well, Hanhan, I have other things to do.” She quickly left.
Meng Yunhan watched her retreating figure, narrowing her eyes slightly. She leaves really fast.
Meng Yunhan fetched the meals and returned to her room.
Just before entering the exam hall, Meng Yunhan handed Little Huzi to Old Father Zhao, “Father, you two wait for me at the hostel. Here’s the key, I will come back soon. If Little Huzi gets hungry, there are some pastries and a bag of wheat, milk, and nutrients that I bought a few days ago.”
Old Father Zhao responded, also reminding her, “Hanhan, focus on your exam, and don’t worry about Little Huzi, I’m here.”
The three-day exam made many people utterly exhausted.
Meng Yunhan was full of energy.
She left with Old Father Zhao carrying Little Huzi, heading to the town.
“Hanhan, how did your exam go?” Wang Minfang asked Meng Yunhan about her performance as soon as she saw her.
How could Meng Yunhan not know what Wang Minfang was thinking behind that smile?
She answered vaguely, “The results aren’t out yet, I don’t know how I did. What about you?”
Her counter-question made Wang Minfang somewhat embarrassed, “Just so-so.” She didn’t have much confidence because she didn’t know many of the answers and had forgotten a lot.
She was afraid of not making the cut and wanted someone else to take the fall with her.
However, her wish couldn’t be realized in the end.
“Hanhan, when will you come back? You haven’t been back to the village to see your mother-in-law and others.” Wang Minfang didn’t want to lose face in front of Meng Yunhan. When Meng Yunhan was teaching, no student caused trouble for her. But after Wang took over, incidents kept occurring, even some parents showed up.
She didn’t want to mention such embarrassing issues.
When the news of the reinstatement of the college entrance exam came, she was overjoyed, finally able to leave the place that had tormented her.
She also found some books to review, but since the books were not complete, she could not do many of the exam questions.
Old Father Zhao looked at Wang Minfang deeply. If he hadn’t seen her as a female comrade and seemed to be familiar with Hanhan, he would have retorted.
Knowing that Hanhan was busy reviewing and preparing for the college entrance exam, one less day of reading would reduce her chances of getting into college.
Meng Yunhan casually replied, “After returning from the army, I’ve been busy reading at home. In a few days, I’ll go back to the village to see them.”
Some of the male educated youth, some of whom knew Meng Yunhan, knew about the incidents in the village in the summer.
