The day of the entrance examination soon arrived. The Xie family members got up very early and gathered in Xie Songlin's courtyard. The morning breeze blew gently, bringing a touch of coolness and freshness. Everyone's face showed varying degrees of tension and anticipation.
"Don't be nervous, just perform normally. We're not looking for a ranking, just getting in is fine." Xie Songlin smiled and comforted Xie Lan. He had just seen Xie Lan so nervous that he could barely eat breakfast. "It's okay even if we can't get in. We can just study for another year."
After hearing what Xie Songlin said, Xie Lan felt warm in his heart. He raised his head and looked at his father's encouraging eyes, and his nervousness eased a little.
He knew that his father was thinking about him and didn't want him to have too much pressure, but he knew in his heart that this entrance exam was of great significance to him. Ever since he started studying with Shen Yuxi, he had always longed to enter Hanfeng Academy and learn more knowledge.
"Dad, I will try my best." Xie Lan clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust his mentality to make himself calmer and more focused. On this important day, he didn't want to disappoint his family, and he didn't want to let down the efforts of himself and Mr. Shen during this period.
"Brother, here's some candy." Xie Wanxing stuffed a candy into Xie Lan's hand, then turned around and stuffed another into Xie Yuan's hand, "Brother Yuan, have some candy too."
"Okay, let's set off now. The shop still needs to open, and the canteen business will definitely be very good today." Xie Songlin invited everyone to get on the ox cart and prepare to set off for the town. Today, everyone in the Xie family went to the canteen, and even Old Mrs. Shen asked to go to the store to help. Xie Songlin also called Xie Dachun and others.
Although the academy is closed today, there are no fewer people than usual. The cafeteria prepares more dishes than usual. It is estimated that most of the people who come to eat today are here to take exams, and they don’t have meal tickets. So Xie Songlin and Cheng Hui sat at the meal ticket window and sold meal tickets with Mr. Lin.
Shen Yuxi had also been waiting at the entrance of the academy early. When he saw the Xie family arrive, he immediately took Xie Lan and Xie Yuan away. Today was a day off, so he took them to the examination room. He also had some final instructions for them.
Shen Yuxi tilted her head slightly, looking at the two of them who were still a little nervous, and comforted them: "You must not panic during the exam today, you must remain calm. Remember, the exam is not only a test of your knowledge, but also a test of your mentality."
"Yes, Mr. Shen, we will remember it." Xie Lan and Xie Yuan responded in unison.
"Alright, go in. Don't be nervous. You've only been studying for a short time. We don't seek high rankings. Just getting into the academy is enough."
After Shen Yuxi watched the two of them walk away, he thought for a moment and decided to go to the cafeteria. There were many people there today, so he could go and see if there was anything he could do to help Xie Songlin.
He hurried to the cafeteria, only to see it crowded and bustling. Today, not only the students taking exams needed to eat, but also some parents and servants who accompanied their children to the exams were allowed to enter the academy cafeteria to eat.
Shen Yuxi spotted Xie Songlin busy at work and quickly walked up to him and asked, "Uncle Xie, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yunhan, you're just in time." Xie Songlin greeted him and then stood up to make room for him. "Come on, you sell the meal tickets here. I'm going to look somewhere else."
Xie Songlin had known Shen Yuxi for a long time and was very confident in him. He was also very familiar with the canteen ticket prices. Shen Yuxi nodded and sat in Xie Songlin's seat. He quickly got into the state and began to work in an orderly manner. With a smile on his face, he skillfully reported the ticket prices and his mental arithmetic speed was also very fast.
After watching for a while, Xie Songlin felt relieved and went to other places to check the situation. There were indeed quite a few people coming today, and fortunately he was well prepared.
As a person who could not help much, Xie Wanxing hid in the Frappuccino with peace of mind, reading a book and drinking milk tea, and by the way, watching over Xie An, the younger brother of his third uncle's family.
The other older children went to the cafeteria to help out today. Xie Yao was too young to stay at home with Li Shi in his care. Xie An was brought to the shop and handed over to Xie Wanxing to take care of. Although Xie An and Xie Wanxing were the same age, Xie Wanxing was not a real child after all. Xie An was only five years old and looked stupid.
"Xiao An, do you want something to eat?" Xie Wanxing looked at the child sitting next to her and staring at her stupidly, and planned to find him something to eat to divert his attention.
"Thank you, sister." Xie An nodded obediently.
"Okay, then wait for me for a while." Xie Wanxing couldn't help but touch his little face and went to the front hall. She was so cute. According to her birth order, she was indeed Xie An's sister.
The Frappuccino place was also very full. Xie Wanxing did not go to the front desk, but planned to go directly to the kitchen to find something to eat for Xie An. She found Qiuyue directly and asked her to scoop some food from the freshly baked fried food for her. She then went to Xie Rou to get a cup of sweet milk. Xie An was still young and was not suitable for drinking milk tea made from tea leaves.
She found a tray and carefully brought these things back to the backyard, placing them in front of Xie An: "Eat quickly."
Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Xie An's eyes lit up, but he still looked reservedly at Xie Wanxing who was sitting next to him and preparing to continue reading: "Sister, you eat too."
"It's okay, I don't need it. You can eat it yourself." Xie Wanxing waved at him. Listening to him calling her sister, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
She really had never experienced the feeling of being an older sister. In modern times, she was an only child. Although she was not an only child here, she became a little sister, and all the children above her were older brothers. The only younger brother in the family, Xie Yao, was still a baby and could not speak clearly, let alone call her sister.
"Call me sister twice more." Xie Wanxing couldn't help but scratch Xie An's chin again.
Xie An felt a little itchy on his chin when she tickled him, but he didn't hide. He was concentrating on eating French fries with both hands, so he let Xie Wanxing tickle him.
The little hands tightly grasped the French fries, putting one after another into her mouth, eating with relish, and drinking a few sips of sweet milk from time to time. Although she thought Xie Wanxing's request was very strange, it was her sister who gave her such delicious food, so she called her in a baby voice again.
Listening to this crisp voice, Xie Wanxing felt that being a sister was quite interesting. In modern times, such young children would have to call her "Auntie" when they saw her.
As soon as Xie Songlin came in, he saw his daughter tossing the child around. He was speechless: "You seem to be having a lot of fun here."
