People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

Chapter 191 Gold Medal, Breakthrough from Zero

Zhuang Chaoying was rolling out dough for steamed buns when she heard Song Ying's words and couldn't help but laugh and correct her: "Little Song, the maximum score for Chinese and Math is 120. You can't get into No. 1 Middle School with a score of 100!"

Upon hearing this, Song Ying slapped her forehead, instantly wide awake. "Teacher Zhuang is right. A perfect score is 120, so 100 is barely passing! That won't do!"

Huang Ling waved her hand. "Song Ying, let Dong Zhe eat the steamed buns too. Go cook the porridge. Once the porridge is ready, the steamed buns will be ready too." Song Ying nodded immediately and smiled. "Sister Ling, you're so thoughtful. I'll wash the rice right away."

A little while later, the four children got up, washed up, and came to the yard one after another, sitting at the table drinking porridge and eating steamed buns.

Huang Ling checked Xiaoting and Pengfei's backpacks, muttering as she checked, "Exam admission ticket, pen ink, medicated oil, water bottle, Ren Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine), did you bring everything?"

Zhuang Chaoying picked up each of Xiaoting and Pengfei's six fountain pens and carefully drew on the paper to test whether the ink flow was smooth, just in case the pens malfunctioned at a crucial moment.

Xiaoting held a steamed bun in her hand. "Mom, they were all packed last night, and Dad checked them all."

Zhuang Chaoying gently patted Xiaoting's head. "Your mother is worried about you. Xiaoting, Pengfei, do well on your exams."

Then, he looked at Pengfei. "Pengfei, after you finish your exams, go back to your province and see your parents. They miss you terribly." Pengfei finished the last bite of his steamed bun. "Okay, Uncle."

Song Ying stood at the door, looking at Dong Zhe, and couldn't help but remind him, "Dong Zhe, drink less water, so you don't have to go to the toilet halfway through the exam."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Huang Ling quickly tugged at her sleeve and said anxiously, "Song Ying, quickly spit it out! You jinx!"

Song Ying then realized what was happening and quickly slapped her mouth three times. "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

After finishing his meal, Tu Nan stood at the gate of the courtyard with his bag on his back. "Mom and Dad, Aunt Song, Uncle Lin, don't worry, I'll take them to the exam venue, no problem."

Song Ying held Lin Dongzhe's hand. "Dongzhe, touch your brother Tu Nan's hand and get some of his good luck in getting second place in the college entrance exam."

"Teacher Zhuang, I know what you're going to say. I'm not being superstitious. Xiaoting and Pengfei, you should touch it too!"

Huang Ling raised the corners of her mouth. "Yes, who cares if it's useful or not, Pengfei and Xiaoting, touch your brother's hands, touch both of them."

Tu Nan laughed. "Touch me as much as you want! If you all get good grades, I'll take you out to have some fun after you finish your exams!"

The four children held hands together.

Several children, carrying their schoolbags, hurriedly left home to take their exams.

Their figures were full of vigor, and their steps were firm and powerful.

Song Ying, with her arm linked with Wu Feng's, breathed a sigh of relief: "The final push has finally given us a chance to catch our breath and relax."

Huang Ling watched the children walk away. "The high school entrance exam is like the first hurdle on their long journey through life. I hope they can overcome every hurdle in the future!"

Zhuang Chaoying patted A-Ling on the shoulder: "Alright, they've all gone far. Go back and eat. You have to go to work later."

After saying that, the two walked hand in hand into the house, and the children's future, like the rising sun, was full of hope.

、、、、、、、、

The high school entrance exam is finally over. During those days, the children were on edge, studying hard day and night, giving their all for this exam.

Now, as the bell rings to signal the end of the last exam, the heavy burden on their shoulders seems to have been lifted all at once.

Not only were the children relieved, but the parents also endured tremendous pressure during this period.

Now, seeing their children walk out of the exam hall looking relaxed, the adults finally breathed a sigh of relief.

July, a month full of hope and passion, is an inspiring month for the land of China.

The news that China was officially participating in the Olympics for the first time was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire nation.

The Chinese delegation to the Olympics was large, consisting of 353 people.

Among them, 225 are athletes, who are elites selected through multiple rounds of screening.

This is the first time China has officially participated in the Olympic Games since its opening up, which is of great significance.

The competition included sixteen traditional sports such as basketball, volleyball, women's handball, and track and field.

I recall my first time participating in the Olympics.

That was during the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. At that time, China was poor and weak, and only one person participated in the competition. That person was Liu Changchun. He embarked on a long journey alone, carrying his dreams and mission.

The front page of the newspapers at the time read with heartache: "Our brave sons and daughters of China, you have traveled alone to this meeting, a journey of thousands of miles. At this moment, our country is broken, but our mountains and rivers remain. May you advance bravely, and may future generations of China be far removed from such suffering of war!"

Now, time has passed, and we've arrived at the same place again—Los Angeles.

The 23rd Los Angeles Olympics opened grandly on July 29th. Every household was glued to their television sets, their eyes fixed on the screen.

Lin Dongzhe, Xiaoting, and Tu Nan were also watching the game on TV.

On the table were chilled sodas, emitting wisps of cool air, as well as sunflower seeds, peanuts, oranges, apples, and candy cubes.

The television is showing a men's 50-meter, 60-shot slow-fire pistol competition at the Lapua shooting range in the United States. The athletes have two and a half hours to fire all 60 bullets.

"Now entering the arena is our athlete Xu Haifeng. This is the fifth round. Ten bullets, eight rings, eight rings!"

The commentator's excited voice came from the television, and everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

Xu Haifeng was in excellent form and performed consistently throughout the competition, maintaining a commanding lead.

As the competition progressed, they finally reached the last group, with only ten bullets left, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Just then, with a snap, the room went completely dark.

The sudden darkness startled everyone.

Lin Dongzhe quickly stood up and asked anxiously, "Is there a power outage?"

"It must be a blown fuse. Nowadays, almost every household watches TV, so electricity consumption is high."

Xiaoting reacted quickly, running outside as she spoke, and looked around: "No, everyone else has power, only our house is without power."

Lin Dongzhe quickly turned around and rushed into the yard: "Dad, is the power out? We only have five guns left!"

Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng were eating watermelon in the yard, without even turning on the fan, for fear that the fuse might fail.

Hearing the shouts from inside, Lin Wufeng quickly stood up, turned on the room light, and found it was on: "Teacher Zhuang's fuse has blown. Lin Dongzhe, take Tu Nan and Xiao Ting to our house to take a look!"

Lin Dongzhe and Tu Nan Xiaoting moved to their home again.

Turn on the TV and quickly select a channel.
