Meng Yan's Transformation

When the bell rang to signal the end of the high school entrance exam, all the anxiety and tension disappeared. Students rushed out of the examination room. Some students threw their books into the air to release their exhausted minds...

"Zhan Mengyan, I'm here." An Pingping shouted to Zhan Mengyan through the crowd.

The two men struggled to push through the crowd and hugged each other tightly, like comrades who had returned from a life-and-death battlefield and reunited again.

"Mengyan, we've finished the exam, we've finally finished it, woooo..." An Pingping said as she leaned on Zhan Mengyan's shoulder and started crying.

"Our high school entrance examination is over, it's all over, it's all over..." Zhan Mengyan patted An Pingping's shoulder and said, as if she was comforting An Ping, or as if she was comforting herself.

Zhan Yu pushed his bicycle to wait for Zhan Mengyan at the school gate early. He saw the candidates filing out, but he didn't find Zhan Mengyan in the crowd. He pushed his bicycle forward subconsciously, scanning the students' houses. He finally saw Zhan Mengyan crying in a corner, hugged by a female classmate, so he walked up and asked, "Mengyan, what's wrong with your classmate? Is he sad because he didn't do well in the exam? Or is he feeling unwell?"

"Dad, this is my classmate An Pingping. She is not feeling unwell. She just wants to use my shoulder to relax her tired body and mind." Zhan Mengyan replied with a smile.

An Pingping held back her tears awkwardly and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhan, are you here to pick up Mengyan? You guys chat, I'm going to find my brother." After saying this, An Pingping ran away.

"Pingping, why are you running? Slow down. Remember to come home and find me to pick wild fruits in Zijin Mountain..." Zhan Mengyan shouted at An Pingping's back.

"I understand..." An Pingping turned her head and said with a tearful smile, then disappeared into the crowd.

"Dad, do we still need to say goodbye to Grandpa Li, Grandma Li and other Li family members?" Zhan Mengyan asked.

"Why are you saying goodbye? That's an inappropriate word. We're not going on a long journey and won't see each other again. I came early today, and your mother bought a piece of cloth for your Aunt Li. Your Aunt Li has cooked for you every day for the past three days, and served you and the whole family at the table and under the table. It's not easy, so we have to give them something to express our gratitude. I said goodbye to them after I gave them the cloth. If we say goodbye again, they will have to invite us to dinner, and we should try not to cause trouble to others. I guess their family is going to help their neighbors now, and their neighbors are getting married tomorrow. In a few days, they are going to Xinxing Village, to the home of your former classmate Li Lili. We will meet again, and then we will be good hosts and treat them to dinner. Let's go home, your mother, sister Yingying, and your brother Zixun are waiting anxiously at home."

Zhan Mengyan happily sat on the back seat of Zhan Yu's bicycle, and the father and daughter drove towards Xinxing Township.

"This weather is really interesting. It rains when it comes to the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. The sky clears up after the examinations. It seems like the examinations are praying for rain." Zhan Yu said to himself while riding a bicycle.

At this time, the sun has gradually set, the clouds in the sky are dyed orange or red, and the whole world is dyed with a warm color. The sunlight shining on the skin is like a gentle massage, a silent comfort, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Zhan Mengyan sat on the back seat of the bicycle, feeling the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves on the roadside, sprinkling on the road surface, adding a touch of golden brilliance to the bicycle. Zhan Yu pedaled gently, and the bicycle began to move slowly forward. The father and daughter enjoyed the scenery along the way. The air seemed to be fresher, and they could breathe the fragrance of nature freely. The birds' songs were more pleasant. The green rice fields on both sides of the road and the occasional farmyards made people feel peaceful and beautiful.
