Chapter 425 Preparing for the Exam

Shen Jinju bounced the child and said, "Then let's take a chance together, and then we'll bring Niu Niu to the city together. Anyway, your family doesn't care about you, so the three of us can be together."

Dong Liangcheng hummed in agreement.

He patted the shovel at the doorway, came in, and warmed himself by the stove for a while to ward off the chill. "I will try my best."

Shen Jinju raised her hand and stroked his face. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you can't pass the exam in one year, we'll try again in two."

"it is good!"

But he doesn't plan to take the exam for two years.

He had heard from Ye Ge a long time ago that there might be an opportunity in the future, so he studied very hard.

He picked up his daughter, and Shen Jinju went to cook.

He held his daughter while reading, and she fell asleep shortly afterward.

After the couple finished their meal, Dong Liangcheng, preoccupied with something, said he was going out for a walk and left.

He rarely went out unless he was going to work. Shen Jinju got up and stood in front of the west window to watch him, and sure enough, she saw him heading towards Jiang Xingye's house.

Jian Jingchuan was playing with his two children, while Jiang Xingye was doing his homework. When he encountered a problem, Xu Qinghuan was giving him pointers.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can see a pair of heads side by side through the window.

Jian Jingchuan saw Dong Liangcheng, but didn't recognize him, and called out, "Aye, we have a guest!"

Jiang Xingye looked up and saw Dong Liangcheng. He stood up and called out, "Liangcheng, come in and sit down!"

Dong Liangcheng then entered.

His many years of childhood-like life had a significant impact on his personality.

Xu Qinghuan also came out.

"Brother Ye, I've come to ask you something." Dong Liangcheng looked at Xu Qinghuan. "I heard the policy is going to change, and many people are preparing for the college entrance exam. I also want to give it a shot, but I don't know if I have any hope?"

Xu Qinghuan understood his intention. She beckoned him to sit down. "I'll give you a test paper to do. Let's see how many you can do. After you've done them, we can talk about how much hope we have."

Dong Liangcheng's eyes lit up, but he was also very uneasy.

Jian Jingchuan carried the children into the house and put them on the kang (a heated brick bed) to play.

Xu Qinghuan gave Dong Liangcheng the simplest set of math papers that Jian Jingchuan had brought back, saying, "Give it a try."

Dong Liangcheng looked at it and felt a little embarrassed. "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Xu Qinghuan said, "What's wrong with it? This test paper is too easy for Aye. Anyway, we don't need it. You can give it a try. Two hours of math."

Dong Liangcheng had never done a test paper before.

He held his breath, afraid of getting the exam paper dirty, and worked with great care and devotion.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In order not to disturb Dong Liangcheng, Jiang Xingye and Xu Qinghuan went into the west wing to study. Jiang Xingye was doing a test paper inside. There was a competition-type question that was a bit difficult, and he was racking his brains for it.

Two hours passed quickly.

When Xu Qinghuan came out, Dong Liangcheng was still thinking about the last question. He sped up, so Xu Qinghuan simply waited a few more minutes.

After finishing the questions, he nervously handed the paper to Xu Qinghuan, his forehead covered in sweat.

"Don't worry, there's still time." Xu Qinghuan took the test paper and began to correct it.

On a test paper with a score of 100, Dong Liangcheng scored 56 points.

His face darkened when he saw the score.

But Xu Qinghuan felt there was hope. She explained the thought process to him on all the questions he got wrong, helped him correct the test, and then took out a notebook and wrote down a few similar questions for him.

Xu Qinghuan then gave him another Chinese language test paper of similar difficulty. "Take this back and, just like before, complete this Chinese language test paper within two hours, including the composition. Bring it to me tomorrow."

There was also a notebook. "The questions you got wrong on the test paper, you didn't understand the thought process. I just explained it to you. Do them repeatedly, and also do these questions to consolidate your understanding. You won't make the same mistakes on similar questions in the future." So far, the exercises Dong Liangcheng has done are all examples in the book and end-of-chapter exercises. He has never had the opportunity to do a lot of practice problems.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Dong Liangcheng exclaimed, "Qinghuan, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Xu Qinghuan said. "Where there's a will, there's a way. I believe in you and Aye; you'll both succeed!"

"Okay!" Dong Liangcheng said, "I'll come again tomorrow."

He spoke cautiously, glancing at Xu Qinghuan's expression.

“Sure, you and Aye can keep each other company.”

Xu Qinghuan tried her best not to add to his psychological burden.

Shen Jinju quickly coaxed the child to sleep. She found a pen and notebook and copied down all the questions from Dong Liangcheng's test paper, including the similar questions Xu Qinghuan had given him. Then she stayed up all night to do them.

Dong Liangcheng finished the Chinese language test.

Dong Liangcheng often has to attend meetings and needs to keep track of time for work, so he bought a second-hand watch last year, which is perfect for keeping track of time.

Shen Jinju was very strict with herself. She did not look at the answers, but did the work herself. After finishing, she checked the answers and corrected her work. She scored two points more than Dong Liangcheng.

None of them passed.

Shen Jinju was getting anxious. "What should we do? What did Xu Zhiqing say?"

Dong Liangcheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

He saw that Xu Qinghuan's desk was piled high with books, including many exercise books.

"Tomorrow, go to the scrap metal yard or Xinhua Bookstore and see if they sell any practice problems," Dong Liangcheng said. "Also, see if they have any meat, canned goods, or candy, and buy some."

Shen Jinju immediately understood his intention. "Are you stupid? It's Chinese New Year, and the supply and marketing cooperatives aren't open. We still have some cured meat, a can of food, and some sugar at home. Take it if you need it."

"Ok!"

Xu Qinghuan had Gong Mingjie collect the "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" for her in advance. She had several sets at home, gave three sets to Qiao Xinyu, and kept one set each for Jiang Xingye and herself.

She compiled a set of documents that Jiang Xingye had already done.

Early the next morning, Dong Liangcheng arrived, bringing a piece of cured meat, a can of food, and half a pound of sugar.

Xu Qinghuan had no reason to accept them. She simply took the papers and said, "Take these back with you. If you need to bring them again, you don't need to come back."

Dong Liangcheng blushed, but his heart was filled with emotion.

His performance in Chinese wasn't much better. The test was very simple, but Dong Liangcheng hadn't received a systematic education. He could read the words and sentences, but when it came to basic Chinese knowledge, such as sentence structure and punctuation, he basically had to guess.

He also has a very limited vocabulary; he doesn't even know which words are positive and which are negative.

And writing essays is like keeping a diary.

I only got a little over forty points in Chinese.

Dong Liangcheng was clearly dejected.

But when Xu Qinghuan explained these basic concepts to him, he listened very attentively.

When Xu Qinghuan talked about the essay "Don't be afraid of difficulties in studying books, praise the pine tree", Jiang Xingye also came over to listen. He talked about how to analyze the topic, how to break the topic, how to establish the theme, how to arrange the structure of the article reasonably, and how to introduce, develop, transition and conclude the essay.

When Dong Liangcheng heard the last part, it was as if he had drunk a glass of fine vintage wine. At that moment, he truly appreciated the wonder of learning.

He had always been walking in the dark. Although Shen Jinju was guiding him, it was clear that Shen Jinju did not know how to learn. She could only hold his hand and stumble along with him in the dark passage.

"When studying, it is always more important to correct mistakes than to do new problems. You should take every mistake seriously and understand it thoroughly so that you can solve similar problems in the future."

Xu Qinghuan pushed the test paper towards him, "Write down the reasons for the mistakes next to the questions you got wrong. For every multiple-choice question, write down clearly why you chose that option and why you didn't. Correct them carefully!"
Including the essay, I just went over it once; write one and bring it to me to see.

Then, she helped Dong Liangcheng correct all the similar questions that he got wrong. There were two minor mistakes, and with a little guidance from her, Dong Liangcheng understood.
