Chapter 210: Why are your lips so sweet?
Chapter 210: Why are your lips so sweet?
For the next two days, Jiang Zhou drove the jeep he borrowed from the army to the city every noon, delivering lunch not only to Yuan Xiu and Sun Ying, but also to Wang Ting.
Wang Ting's exam venue wasn't far away, and it just so happened to be on her way.
After Wang Ting returned from the first day of exams, Teacher Shen heard about it and arranged for her to attend classes.
However, Aunt Zhao didn't cook the meals; instead, her family cooked them themselves and delivered them.
During the exam period, not a single person in my family asked me, "How did the exam go?"
This relieved Yuan Xiu's psychological pressure considerably.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Xiu breathed a huge sigh of relief as she left the examination hall.
Compared to her composure, the other candidates in the same examination room were much more emotional.
"Finally, the exams are over! ...Long live the cause! Long live the people! Long live the examinees!"
"Long live! Long live!"
Some shouted "Long live!" while others covered their mouths and wept with emotion.
The sobbing student was comforted with a pat on the shoulder, "Finally, the exam is over..."
Even the person offering comfort unconsciously had tears welling up in their eyes.
After Yuan Xiu and Sun Ying met, they walked out together.
When I came out, I found that there were many people waiting outside the examination hall, all standing on tiptoe and hunching their necks in the cold wind, eagerly waiting.
When the person who had been waiting came out, the anxious look in her eyes turned into a gentle smile.
"You must be exhausted. Take a bite, I just bought this from the store, it's so soft."
"How did the test go? Did you do all the questions? Are you confident?"
"Yes! I'm sure I'll pass the exam!"
"That's good! That's good!"
The greetings from relatives, along with the jingling of bicycle bells on the road, filled the air with joy as the spirited examinees spoke. The entire area outside the examination hall was enveloped in a vibrant and lively atmosphere.
Amidst the bustling scene, Yuan Xiu spotted Jiangzhou.
She smiled at him with delight, then pulled Sun Ying through the crowd outside the examination hall and walked towards him.
Jiang Zhou wasn't the only one who came; Sister-in-law Xiulan also came, specifically to pick up her sister-in-law.
"I saw that Teacher Shen came to pick up Wang Ting, so I can't let my Sun Ying be left without a pick-up. Knowing that Chief of Staff Jiang was coming, Teacher Shen and I hitched a ride together! Come on, let's not rush back, let's go shopping and see if there are any nice new cotton-padded jackets. I'll buy one for my Sun Ying too, so she can wear it to school when it starts!"
Xiulan's sister-in-law was especially happy. Seeing that her sister-in-law didn't look as dejected as some other test takers, she felt that she must have done well on the exam.
Sun Ying, holding her hand somewhat shyly, said, "It's still far from certain. If I don't pass the exam, people will laugh at me to death."
"You said 'what if, what if' you pass the exam? Anyway, let's go to the mall first, and it would be best to buy a red cotton-padded jacket, it'll bring good luck!"
Yuan Xiu and Jiang Zhou didn't go to the mall, but Xiu Lan and her sister-in-law, along with Wang Ting and Teacher Shen, went together.
After everyone left, Yuan Xiu followed Jiang Zhou into the jeep. As soon as she sat down, Jiang Zhou handed her a hot roasted sweet potato.
"Where did it come from?" Yuan Xiu took a sniff, and a sweet aroma wafted into her nostrils.
"I bought it on the way here. There are no roasted sweet potato stalls outside your area, but there are outside Wang Ting's exam room. I bought one when I took Teacher Shen there."
Yuan Xiu tore open the leather jacket, carefully took a bite, and exclaimed, "Mmm, delicious!"
Seeing the smile on her face, Jiang Zhou raised an eyebrow: "Is it really that delicious?"
"Yes!" Yuan Xiu held a roasted sweet potato to his mouth. "Try it..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Xiu regretted it. Even though the two of them had a child, they had never shared food like this before.
What if they don't like it?
Being able to kiss doesn't mean you can eat what you've bitten.
Jiang Zhou glanced at her. "Weren't you going to give it to me? You're reluctant to part with it?"
"Who wouldn't want to?" Yuan Xiu glanced at him, then moved the part of her mouth that hadn't been bitten to his lips.
Jiangzhou took a big bite right away!
Well, now they've bitten both the places they should and shouldn't have.
After he finished biting into it, he gave her a smug look.
Yuan Xiu: "..."
I can tell, it was intentional.
"Why don't you ask me how my exam went?" Yuan Xiu asked him while eating a roasted sweet potato.
"Why ask this? Will asking it help you do better on the test?"
Yuan Xiu couldn't help but laugh. "Why do you talk so sweetly? Did you eat too much candy?"
"Isn't it roasted sweet potato?" Jiang Zhou asked seriously, giving her a look that said, "How come your memory is so bad?"
Yuan Xiu laughed even harder, and the smile on her face didn't fade even when she arrived at her doorstep.
"Look, Mom's back! Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi are here to wish Mom 's success in her exams and a bright future!'"
An Hui and Aunt Zhao stood in the entryway with the children in their arms. As soon as the door opened, An Hui and the children offered their blessings to Yuan Xiu.
The brother and sister: "Eeya... Eeya ya... Ya!"
Both little ones waved their little hands, wanting their mother to hold them.
Yuan Xiu didn't dare to hug them. They had just come in from outside and were still cold. She hadn't taken off the clothes she wore all day and hadn't washed her hands, afraid of catching a cold for the children.
Children are most susceptible to illness during this month and in this weather.
Seeing that their mother wouldn't hold them, the two children felt very aggrieved and stared at her longingly.
I watch Mom take off her clothes, I watch Mom change her shoes, I even watch Mom when she goes to the kitchen to get hot water to wash her hands.
As for Dad, I'll just glance at him occasionally.
After washing her hands and rubbing them until they were warm, Yuan Xiu took the child from her.
She wanted to hold both children, so she sat on the sofa and placed one on each of her laps.
"I thought you'd be back late, so I fed them formula. Don't feed them yet," An Hui said to the siblings, leaning closer. "You little ingrates, you don't want your grandma anymore when Mom comes back."
The two little ones thought their grandma was teasing them, and happily waved their little hands and feet.
When Jiang Zhou arrived, the younger sister in Yuan Xiu's arms had been moved to a different place.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, but when she saw it was her father, she didn't cry and obediently let him hold her.
When Jiang Zhou reached out, his brother instinctively lunged into Yuan Xiu's arms.
"Xiao Yuan has finished his exams, which is something to celebrate. Let's have a drink tonight. I brought a bottle of good wine with me, but we haven't drunk it yet. Let's finish it tonight and have Aunt Zhao cook some more good dishes," An Hui suggested.
Aunt Zhao agreed, "Sure, I bought a lot of vegetables at the market today, including frozen tofu and a fish. How about we make a sauerkraut fish hot pot with that fish tonight?"
"Okay, we'll do it your way..."
