Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 189 Exam

At six o'clock in the morning, there were already footsteps coming and going in the Agricultural Bureau's staff quarters. Some neighbors even knew that Gu Zhan and his wife were going to take an exam, so they kindly knocked on their door to remind them not to get up late.

At seven o'clock, the couple had packed up and ate a few bites of the steamed buns they had bought last night with hot water. They set off when it was almost eight o'clock.

It took more than ten minutes to walk from the staff quarters to the examination venue.

The sunny day after the strong wind was dry and cold. The candidates who arrived early stood in place and stamped their feet, trying to drive away the cold.

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi were both wearing new cotton-padded jackets they had just made for this winter and thick scarves, standing in the crowd waiting for the examination room to open.

Liu Weibing got off the tractor and took a few steps when he saw Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi standing together. He squeezed through the crowd and waved to them, "Hey, Gu Zhan."

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi heard the voice and looked at Zhao Weibing in unison.

Guard Zhao finally made his way through the crowd and came in front of Gu Zhan: "You're quite early."

"We just got here too, but you came quite early."

As he spoke, Gu Zhan glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction behind Zhao Weibing. Seeing that the young people and educated youth from the village had all arrived, he finally felt relieved.

"The brigade brought us here on a tractor. It was freezing cold all the way."

"Move around first and warm yourself up." Gu Zhan instructed Zhao Weibing in a gentle voice.

In his previous life, Zhao Weibing did not take the college entrance examination. In this life, Gu Zhan sincerely hopes that he can achieve good results in this exam.

As the door to the examination room opened, everyone filed in. Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi followed the crowd and entered the examination room.

The two were not in the same examination room, but they were not far away. After watching Liu Xiaoxi enter the examination room, Gu Zhan turned and walked towards his own examination room.

It was not until he sat in the examination room, waiting for the papers to be handed out and writing his name that Gu Zhan truly felt the sense of reality and joy since his rebirth, as if all the shackles imposed on him by fate were broken at this moment, and a brand new life was about to begin.

The examination room was filled with the rustling sounds of writing and the crisp sound of papers being flipped through.

Liu Xiaoxi pinched his palms nervously and wrote his name stroke by stroke with trembling hands.

Her seat was in the middle back. Looking at the candidates in front of her who were already seizing the time to start answering the questions, Liu Xiaoxi took a deep breath, pinched her palms, and forced herself to relax.

This was her first time to take an examination after graduating from junior high school, and she was so nervous that her whole body was shaking.

Liu Xiaoxi never thought that he would be able to enter an examination room again in his life, and it would be the college entrance examination room.

Seeing that everyone had started doing the questions, Liu Xiaoxi managed to calm down. Thinking of the ideal school that Gu Zhan might be going to, she really calmed down.

The first question... the second question... all the questions didn't seem very difficult, as they were all the knowledge that Gu Zhan had helped him review.

Liu Xiaoxi's heart was tense, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing all the questions. When she looked up, she saw that the students in front of her were still concentrating on their questions.

Thinking of Gu Zhan's instructions, she began to check it again from beginning to end.

Just after I finished checking, the bell for submission rang.

Liu Xiaoxi handed the test paper in his hand to the teacher with an extremely solemn mood, and followed the crowd out of the examination room.

"Gu Zhan!"

As soon as Liu Xiaoxi went out, she saw Gu Zhan waiting for her at the entrance of the examination room.

"You guys are still early?"

"Well, the teacher collects the papers quickly."

The two of them were talking as they walked forward, when suddenly, their attention was drawn to the low sobbing sounds in the crowd.

Liu Xiaoxi turned around curiously and saw a man crying with his face covered, and people around him whispering comfort to him.

Along the way, this is no longer a scene like this.

"Aren't you going to ask me how I did on the test?"

"I believe in the students I teach, and I believe in your ability even more." Gu Zhan said easily.

The first college entrance examination in ten years shattered the hopes of countless people with the first mathematics exam.

Zhao Weibing came out of the examination room dejectedly. When he looked up, he saw Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi waiting for him in front.

He forced a smile and walked towards the two of them: "You're out now, how did you do on the exam?"

"Not bad!" Gu Zhan said slightly euphemistically.

"Hey, it's okay."

"How are you?" Gu Zhan asked Zhao Weibing.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Weibing's face visibly fell. He said weakly, "I guess there's no hope. A lot of these questions look familiar, but I can't do them."

Gu Zhan gave Zhao Weibing a reassuring smile: "It's okay, relax. Everyone's level is about the same in the first math exam. Just study hard in the next few exams and you'll definitely pass."

"Really?" Weibing Zhao was skeptical.

"Yeah!" Gu Zhan nodded firmly.

When Gu Zhan returned to the family compound, Gao Yuan was already waiting at the door with two lunch boxes.

Seeing Gu Zhan coming back from a distance, he waved to Gu Zhan and his wife. When he got closer, he smiled and asked Gu Zhan, "How did you two do in the exam?"

"Everything is fine."

Gao Yuan knew that what Gu Zhan said was okay was almost a sure thing, but considering that a candidate who had just returned from the family compound had already cried, he couldn't say anything more at this moment. He just handed two lunch boxes to Gu Zhan and said, "Eat it while it's hot. Director Zhu asked the company cafeteria to prepare it and I brought it here."

Gu Zhan took the lunch box from Gao Yuan, went into the house, put the food into their own lunch boxes, washed the lunch boxes and handed them to Gao Yuan: "Thank you, and thank Director Zhu for me too."

"Hey, that's very polite of you. Director Zhu said that after you finish your exam, we can sit down and have a good chat."

"Okay, no problem."

In fact, what Gu Zhan was most worried about was Liu Xiaoxi's mathematics. After passing the mathematics test, the rest of the subjects were easy for him.

At noon on the 12th, all the subjects were finally finished.

Coming out of the examination room and looking at the clear blue sky, Gu Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the care of Zhu Changzhi, Gao Yuan and Guo Kai, Gu Zhan invited the three of them to have dinner in the state-owned canteen in the evening.

Zhu Changzhi hadn't seen Gu Zhan for a while. As soon as they met, Zhu Changzhi smiled and asked the couple, "How did you do on the exam?"

"Not bad, Director Zhu." Gu Zhan said with a smile.

While Liu Xiaoxi was considering what to say, Zhu Changzhi smiled and teased, "Xiao Gu's wife also did well in the exam, right? With a teacher like Xiao Gu, she should be able to do well."

Liu Xiaoxi nodded shyly and said nothing more.

After asking about the exam, the topic naturally turned to the cattle farm.

"How's the cattle farm going now? And how's your experiment going?"

Zhu Changzhi has been thinking about this matter for some time, but considering that Gu Zhan was preparing for the exam, he did not disturb him too much. Now that the exam is over, he can finally ask about it.

"There are currently 40 pregnant cows on the farm, and our experiment is 80% sure of success. We'll just have to wait until the cows give birth to calves next year to verify the results. If the results are satisfactory, we can promote it on a large scale."

"That's a good feeling."

"But, Xiao Gu, as you said before, if our technology is promoted, will it really catch up with foreign technology?"

"Yes, Director."

"Great, great, our Xia County's agriculture is about to usher in spring." Zhu Changzhi said excitedly.
