70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 252: End of Exams

As a few people were chatting, Yin Yang walked out from inside.

Yin Yang’s face was so striking that Xu Mumu spotted him in the crowd immediately.

"Mumu, how did your exam go?" Yin Yang asked Xu Mumu with a gentle smile. The exam wasn’t difficult, so Xu Mumu must have done well.

"It was okay, how about you?" Xu Mumu replied with a smile.

"Not hard," Yin Yang also smiled.

At this time, Xu Xue and Huo Qingze walked out from inside. Xu Xue was talking with Huo Qingze and seemed very happy, but unfortunately, Huo Qingze still looked aloof and didn’t speak much.

Once everyone was present, they headed towards the state-owned restaurant. They had long informed Master Yang to save them a spot.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, many people were already waiting. Xu Mumu and the others didn’t eat in the main hall but went to the backyard, where a large table was set. It was enough for the Old Xu Family, along with Yin Yang and Huo Qingze.

"Uncle, where did you find such a big table?" Xu Mumu asked with a laugh. Tables this big were indeed quite rare.

"This was left from before; the quality is still good. Master Yang couldn’t bear to throw it away, so he kept it. Didn’t expect you guys to actually use it," Qin Liang replied with a laugh.

"Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, you guys start eating. I’m going to help Master Yang with serving the dishes," Qin Liang said before going back to work.

The food here still tasted very good, and Xu Mumu ate quite a lot.

After lunch, those who needed to take the exam went directly to the examination venue, while the Xu family members were taken by Madam Chen to her daughter’s house, as Xu Qingxing’s house wasn’t far from there.

"Mumu, I want to go to your classroom to review," Yin Yang said, holding his book and looking at Xu Mumu with anticipation.

"Let’s go," Xu Mumu nodded with a smile, not minding Yin Yang’s little motives.

"I’ll go too," Xu Minghui said, glaring at Yin Yang before immediately speaking.

With one more person, Xu Mumu didn’t mind, and Yin Yang didn’t say anything.

They arrived at the classroom, where many people were already studying, trying to make the most of every minute and second, hoping to gain a few more points.

There were no extra stools in the classroom, so the three of them went outside.

Yin Yang didn’t need her guidance, but Xu Mumu pointed out a few key areas for Xu Minghui to focus on.

Xu Minghui asked Xu Mumu questions about the things he didn’t understand. Occasionally, someone would pass by, some curious, others disdainful.

Meanwhile, Xu Xue, while looking at her book, appeared somewhat desolate. Huo Qingze really didn’t seem inclined to talk much with her, even though they had collaborated previously.

Huo Qingze was willing to joke around with Yin Yang and even get along well with Xu Mumu. So, why wouldn’t he talk more with her?

She couldn’t understand. She didn’t feel she was any worse than Xu Mumu. In fact, she even knew a lot of things from the future, knowing Huo Qingze’s future.

It was precisely because she knew that she wanted to hold onto Huo Qingze even more.

In the afternoon, they were taking the math exam. When Xu Mumu got the math paper, she suddenly smiled. The content wasn’t difficult, and among the questions, two were similar to what she had just explained to Xu Minghui earlier.

Her predictions were quite accurate, and she believed Xu Minghui would feel more confident with these questions.

The fact was indeed so. Seeing the familiar questions, Xu Minghui relaxed a lot.

The first day of the exam passed quickly. Xu Mumu stretched and followed her family back to the village.

The commune was bustling as well, and even the educated youths had returned. However, their faces didn’t look great. Although they had reviewed for several months, there wasn’t much improvement, so this time they might not do well.

The second day’s science comprehensive exam also didn’t seem difficult to Xu Mumu. Her pen glided over the paper with ease.

In the examination hall, only the sound of pens on papers remained, and Xu Mumu felt especially calm inside. This time, she should be able to get into Huaxia University.

After submitting her paper, she didn’t need to take the extra language test because she wasn’t applying for a foreign language major, so she could pack up and go home.

"So tired, I just want to go back and have a good sleep," Xu Minghui said wearily. The science comprehensive exam was mentally exhausting—scary even.

He managed to complete about half of it, and he was uncertain if he would pass, feeling tormented inside.

"Yes, yes, have a good rest at home. Your grandma bought meat; come on, let’s go back and rest," Xu Hai quickly said.

A whole family, plus Yin Yang and Huo Qingze, headed spiritedly towards the commune. The educated youths lagged behind the Xu family, and when they returned, they garnered a lot of attention from the commune’s people.

"After two days of exams, rest well at home. I’ll bring you something delicious tomorrow," Yin Yang said reluctantly as he and Huo Qingze were leaving after lunch.

"Okay, you rest well too," Xu Mumu nodded, indeed feeling a bit tired.

After Yin Yang left, Xu Mumu went to rest on her bed. The house was quiet; everyone knew the siblings needed to rest, so no one spoke loudly.

The weather was getting colder, but Xu Mumu hadn’t slept long; the hot water bottle on her bed hadn’t even cooled down.

This hot water bottle was something her dad had brought back from the makeshift clinic by the reservoir last year. To be honest, it was quite useful. Fill it with hot water and tuck it into bed, and you won’t feel cold at all.

Okay, her health was good, so she didn’t really need the hot water bottle, but her parents insisted she did, thinking she was cold.

As for her brother, their parents said, "The young man has enough vitality; he won’t feel cold."

Retrieving the hot water bottle, she went to the main room. Li Caixia was already out with the little brother to chat with her close friends. At this moment, Madam Chen was sewing the old man’s clothes, which already had two patches.

"Grandma, why’s Grandpa still wearing these clothes? Didn’t my brother buy him quite a few new ones?" Xu Mumu asked, a bit exasperated. Her family was reluctant to wear new clothes, keeping them stored away. They always wore patched clothes despite her repeated suggestions, which they never seemed to heed.

"Those are good clothes; we’ll wear them when the New Year’s here. Mumu, why don’t you sleep a bit more?" Madam Chen said lovingly when she saw Xu Mumu up.

"Couldn’t sleep any longer," Xu Mumu shook her head.

"There’s a warm egg in the pot, go eat it. You’ve been working hard lately; you need to replenish," Madam Chen said gently.

"Okay," Xu Mumu nodded with a smile, retrieved the egg from the pot, ate half herself, and shared the other half with Madam Chen. As the family was no longer short of money, Madam Chen only resisted a little before accepting it.

"Grandma, where are my dad and the others?" Xu Mumu wondered, noticing that only her grandma and second aunt were in the house while the others were absent.

"They went up the mountain to gather firewood. They were idle at home every day, so I sent them up the mountain to work," Madam Chen said calmly.
