171 Sent To The Exam
âBaby, you can do it. This is the talisman that Iâve specially requested for you from the temple. Wear it on your body and the Buddha will bless you with a smooth examination.â
Mama Le carefully stuffed a peace talisman into the inner pocket of Le Wanâs school uniform.
Today was the day that Le Wan would be taking the college entrance examination. Her father, mother, and her two older and younger brothers were all waiting to send her off for the examination.
When Le Wan saw how anxious her mother was, she felt touched and her heart ached. Compared to Le Wan who had already taken the college entrance examination once, her mother and the rest were even more anxious and nervous than her.
Of course, they were not worried that Le Wan would do badly in the exam or not get good results. They were more worried that she would not perform well and waste more than half a yearâs effort. They were even more worried that she would be sad because of this.
Brother Le took Le Wanâs test bag and checked it again. After making sure that everything was in place, he stopped Mama Leâs nagging.
âAlright, itâs almost time. Letâs send the baby to the examination hall first.â
As a result, the family was about to set off for the examination hall again. Le Wan quickly stopped them and said,
âItâs just an examination. Thereâs no need for such a big crowd. You guys go do what you need to do. Just let the driver at home send me.â
However, Mama Le was not willing.
âThen why canât we go when other parents personally send their children to the exam?â
âThen mom, are you going to stay outside the exam hall like the other parents?â Le Wan asked helplessly.
Mama Le said matter-of-factly,
âOf course!â
Then, she turned around and happily took out a square bag that was half the height of a person from the living room.
âLook, Iâve already prepared it.â
Brother Le had gone abroad before he graduated from high school, so he didnât have time to take the National College Entrance Examination. When Second Brother Le was ready to take the college entrance examination, the couple had also gone abroad on business trips, so they couldnât send him to the examination.
Now that their most beloved baby was going to take the college entrance examination, they didnât want to miss this opportunity.
To prepare for the college entrance examination, Mama Le had been looking for a lot of strategies on the internet these few days. Therefore, she prepared a stool, water, cooling ointment, wet paper towels, and so on.
Le Wan looked at Mama Leâs excited face. It was as if she was going camping instead of accompanying her for the exam.
She looked at Papa Le helplessly, her eyes asking,
âIs your wife too high? Arenât you going to do something about her?â
Papa Le caressed her head lovingly.
âYour mother is worried about you. She wonât feel at ease if you let her wait at home alone.â
âThatâs right,â Mama Le said. âIf it wasnât for the last-minute matters at your fatherâs company, he would have accompanied me to the exam.
When Papa Le heard Mama leâs words, not only did he not refute her, he even looked regretful.
If it wasnât for the fact that the client he had been meeting for a long time had suddenly agreed to meet up with him, and he couldnât reject it, he really wanted to accompany his wife to the exam hall.
One must know that Mama Le had prepared two sets of things in her square bag.
Le Wan was rendered speechless. Brother le whispered,
âMom just wanted to experience what itâs like to be an exam partner outside the exam hall. I can also take a few photos and post them on my WeChat moments to show off.â
âYou can go,â Le Wan said. âBut itâs so hot today. you canât stay outside all through.â
She agreed with Mama Le.
âAfter I enter the exam hall, you will go back to the hotel first. After I finish the exam, you will come and pick me up, okay?â
For Le Wan to have a good rest after taking the exam, Mama Le had rented a suite in a hotel not far away from the examination hall. The hotel was only a few minutesâ walk away from the examination hall.
Le Wanâs suggestion was supported by the whole family. After all, Le Wanâs mother was not young anymore and had lived a comfortable life for so many years. She wouldnât be able to stand the sun for two to three hours outside the examination hall.
Under the watchful eyes of her family, Le Wan entered the examination hall and tried her best to complete the second college entrance examination in her life.
After the bell rang, Papa Le, Big Brother Le, and Second Brother Le went to work. As a middle school student, Little Brother Le had to go to school.
Mama Le said goodbye to them with a smile. She said that she would be back at the hotel in a while, but when she couldnât see them, she ran back to the car and took the square bag. She was determined to experience the feeling of being an exam partner.
