In the early morning, Qin Zhao was woken up from his sleep.
"Get up, have breakfast, and let's go out."
Qin Zhao stretched out his waist lazily, "What are you going to do?"
When I woke up, my brain hadn't started working yet and I was in a state of confusion.
"Go and find you a school."
Cao Xi straightened out his hair, which was as messy as a chicken's coop. It felt so good that I couldn't help but mess it up again.
Qin Zhao was completely awakened by her magical operation.
While Qin Zhao was washing up, Cao Xi laid out breakfast. The food was all leftovers from last night.
The amount cooked by two people is a bit large, which really reflects the saying that one meal is a new dish and three meals are leftovers.
Cao Xi wants to send him to Qingsong Academy. It is said that the dean is a bachelor who has returned home after retirement. He accepts students between the ages of five and fifteen and has a strong teaching staff.
Qingsong College has an entrance examination, and only those who pass the examination are considered official students.
The college system is very sound, with its own uniforms, canteens, dormitories, libraries, etc.
Cao Xi helped Qin Zhao tidy up his clothes. After much deliberation, he decided to try Qingsong College. After all, the teaching and learning environment was good.
"Let's go to Qingsong Academy first."
"The biggest Qingsong Academy in the city?" Qin Zhao couldn't believe his ears.
Cao Xi: "Yes, let's find out first." In everything, you have to take the first step. If you don't succeed, you won't regret it. After all, you have tried.
"I heard that they are very demanding and have to take an entrance exam."
Qin Zhao used to be like a peacock, both confident and arrogant. His photographic memory allowed him to learn everything quickly.
But thinking that he had neglected his studies for two years and now had to take exams at a first-class college, he was somewhat nervous and uncomfortable.
Cao Xi acted nonchalantly.
"It's because it's very demanding. We just have to work hard. If we succeed, it's good. If we don't succeed, we'll find another private school. It doesn't matter where we study. The key is to rely on ourselves."
Qin Zhao took a deep breath and realized that he thought too much. He was happy to go to school, so why did he care about where to go to school.
Qin Zhao: "Okay, let's go and take a look first. This one cannot be replaced. I am so smart that I can excel anywhere."
He tugged on his clothes, straightened his back and strode out of the courtyard.
Xu Maocai saw two children standing in front of the college gate from a distance. The tall door head made them look even dwarfed.
They looked up at the door lintel for a long time, then looked around, as if they were looking for something?
He walked forward and asked, "Are you here to find someone?"
The two of them seemed frightened by the sudden sound, and turned around to look at him in horror.
Cao Xi: "We are not looking for anyone. I want to send my younger brother to school, but there is no one around."
Cao Xi saw that he was tall and plainly dressed. Although he was old, he was full of energy. Thinking that he was a handyman in the courtyard, he explained.
Xu Maocai, who came to study, squatted in front of Qin Zhao and looked at him levelly, "Are you going to school?"
"Yes." Qin Zhao is well-behaved and polite. Although Xu Maocai is tall, his face is kind and not intimidating.
Xu Maocai: "How old are you?"
"Seven years old"
Xu Maocai: "Can there be enlightenment?"
"My parents hired me a wife when I was three years old."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xu Maocai asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Zhao: "I haven't read in the past two years." He was a little depressed when he said this.
Xu Maocai did not ask why. There are many people who study intermittently these days, and the reasons are different.
Xu Maocai: "You have to take an exam to enter this academy. Aren't you afraid?" You dare to come to Qingsong Academy without reading for two years. It's very brave.
Qin Zhao: "Don't be afraid, it's not a tiger's den. If it doesn't work, I'll find another one."
The dish was spoiled, Cao Xi wanted to hold his forehead, but his arrogant habit relapsed.
Cao Xi didn't stop him, Qin Zhao always had to learn to grow up on his own, instead of relying on the mold she carved.
Xu Maocai was so angry that he wanted to refute, but found that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you just go to another private school to save time?"
Xu Maocai was a little angry and stood up to leave, not wanting to talk to this baby.
"It's my choice for me to come. It's their choice whether they want me or not. How can I not work hard for it because the exam is strict? Besides, it depends on the individual when the master brings me in to practice."
Being looked down upon by an insignificant person even before taking the exam, Qin Zhao became angrier as he thought about it, wishing he could catch the old man and explain it to him.
Xu Maocai stopped leaving, leaned over and asked him: "Who taught you to say these words?"
A seven-year-old child knows so much that he wouldn’t believe it if no one taught him.
"Hmph, it's not enough to say nothing." Qin Zhao ignored him.
Xu Maocai was amused by his arrogant expression, he had quite a bad temper.
Xu Maocai: "Come on, come in with me and let me see your efforts." After saying that, he laughed loudly and walked towards the courtyard.
Cao Xi grabbed Qin Zhao and followed him, fearing that he would lose the only figure.
There is a special cave in the courtyard, and the first thing that catches the eye is a courtyard. It is not clear when they entered the courtyard, because they stopped as soon as they entered the door.
They were greeted by a young student, who was interrupted by Xu Maocai just as he was about to speak.
"Go and get the test questions from the last exam for Kindergarten Class C."
Xu Maocai waved to Qin Zhao, "Come in with me."
Qin Zhao did not step forward immediately but looked up at Cao Xi.
Cao Xi understood: "I'll wait for you outside. Come on, you are the best." Cao Xi raised his fist and gestured up and down.
Cao Xi's funny behavior made Qin Zhao feel more at ease, and he followed Xu Maocai into the house.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, with a total of two sets of tables, chairs and a bookshelf.
Xu Maocai asked Qin Zhao to sit in the lower seat, while he sat in the upper seat, holding the tea handed by the student in his hand, looking at Qin Zhao with a very comfortable expression.
Xu Maocai took a sip of tea and said, "If you can answer this test paper well, you can enter the college to study."
Qin Zhao lowered his head to read the paper, silently picked up his pen and began to answer the questions.
After a cup of tea, Qin Zhao put down the pen in his hand. The student glanced at Qin Zhao when he was collecting the papers, and respectfully handed the papers to Xu Maocai.
Xu Maocai took the test paper and said, "The writing is really ugly."
He glanced at the test questions again: "Who taught you math?"
Qin Zhao sat up straight, his face tense: "My sister"
But he retorted in his heart that his handwriting was not ugly, it was just that his hands were raw after not writing for a long time.
"Is that the girl outside?" Xu Maocai was not sure
Qin Zhao raised his face and said rather arrogantly, "Yes."
Xu Maocai listened to what he said, thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote another question on the paper.
Pass it to the student and "ask him to do this question too."
The student spread the paper in front of Qin Zhao's desk and did not leave.
Qin Zhao is very good at mathematics, plus he has been trained in business in the past two years! His calculation speed had already surpassed Cao Xi's.
After answering, Qin Zhao put down his pen and raised his eyes to look at the student, only to see that he was still staring at his test paper. He coughed twice and motioned for him to send the test paper.
The student was a little embarrassed and hurriedly collected the test papers and handed them to the teacher.
Xu Maocai looked at the test paper in his hand and said, "Come over to school tomorrow."
And he said to the student next to him: "Chen Qi, you can introduce to him the precautions of the college later."
"Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity." Qin Zhao bowed deeply to Xu Maocai.
Cao Xi saw Xu Maocai coming out, but didn't see Qin Zhao, so he leaned forward and looked inside.
"Don't look, your brother will come out soon." Xu Maocai felt a little sorry that Cao Xi had a talent for mathematics but was a girl.
After waiting for a while, Qin Zhao and the young student came out.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for sending me off." Qin Zhao saluted Li Chenqi and walked quickly to Cao Xi.
Cao Xi looked at his smiling face and knew that the result would be good. She resisted the urge to ask and said goodbye to the students who were seeing him off.
It wasn't until the gate of the academy was out of sight that Cao Xi asked Qin Zhao hopefully, "Did you pass?"
"Passed, tell me tomorrow...ahhhh..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt himself flying into the air. He was being held in Cao Xi's arms and spun around in circles. It was so exciting that he couldn't accept it.
Qin Zhao: "Put me down quickly"
The embrace made him a little shy.
After finally landing with both feet on the ground, before he could react, he was kissed on the face, and his face was covered with wet saliva.
Qin Zhao's face turned red from the place where he was kissed to the roots of his ears. He looked like a freshly cooked prawn.
Then the other half of the face was kissed hard.
Now Qin Zhao really felt the gentle touch, and it felt numb going straight into his heart.
Cao Xi took Qin Zhao, who was still a dull goose, and said excitedly: "Let's go, sister will buy you pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Qin Zhao stared at the hands they were holding, a slut and a female hooligan, hum!
If you don't pay attention, you can take advantage of him and it's hard to guard against him. He stared and laughed, and finally squeezed that hand hard.
They walked around the street and bought some fabrics, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and related books before getting up and walking home.
