Chapter 913: Nine hundred eleven, exam
Early in the morning, the military wives who were to take part in the assessnt were waiting in the classroom for Zhang Xiaoling to arrive. Last ti, they had waited like this for Li Qiqi to co, but this ti, the atmosphere was much more tense because their future was at stake.
As it neared nine o’clock, a sequence of footsteps could be heard from outside.
All the military wives turned their heads in unison to look, and saw Zhang Xiaoling entering the classroom with a stack of test papers in her arms.
Zhang Xiaoling walked up to the teacher’s desk, placed the stack of test papers on it, and said to the military wives, “The questions on this assessnt paper are very simple; they are all everyday questions. Next, I will distribute the test papers to everyone. You will have one hour to answer. There are only eleven positions available, so everyone must try their best to compete.”
“We certainly will,” the military wives said in unison.
Zhang Xiaoling smiled and nodded, then picked up the test papers from the desk and began to distribute them to everyone.
After receiving the test papers and briefly reviewing the questions, the military wives were instantly filled with confidence. They promptly picked up the pens on the desk and started to answer the questions.
Outside the window, an increasing number of military wives gathered. They watched the wives inside answering questions with envy and jealousy. Initially, they did not want to co, but they couldn’t help their feet from bringing them. And there was nothing they could do about it.
As ti ticked away minute by minute, more and more military wives finished their tests. In less than an hour, all the military wives had completed their test papers.
After collecting the test papers, Zhang Xiaoling said to the military wives, “Tomorrow, I will have Luo Shu inform you of the list of those who have been admitted.”
Having finished speaking, she smiled at everyone, gathered up the test papers, and stepped out of the classroom.
“Sister-in-law Li, how did you do on the test this ti?”
“There were two questions I couldn’t answer. I left them blank. I’m not sure if I still have a chance this ti.”
“I also had several questions I couldn’t answer. I got so nervous I couldn’t even rember how to write.”
“I’m in the sa boat, especially with the math problems; that’s my weakest area.”
“Be content with what you have. We didn’t even get the chance to take the test.”
“If only we had learned to read and write with you at the start.” The military wives outside spoke with a mix of regret and despondency in their voices. Even if given the chance to take the test now, it would be useless, as they couldn’t recognize a single character.
Luo Shu ended her cultivation practice and opened her eyes, and after these days of practice, her cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Late Tribulation Stage. All she needed now was to take the Tribulation Pill for a smooth Ascension. However, she was truly undecided about what to choose—whether to leave the babies with the Lu family or to take them with her to the Immortal Realm.
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Hanmo sat down beside Luo Shu.
Luo Shu leaned naturally on Lu Hanmo’s shoulder, “I don’t know whether I should leave the babies on Earth or take them with us to the Immortal Realm.”
Lu Hanmo smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to caress Luo Shu’s hair, “Let’s go ho next week, listen to everyone’s opinions, and also ask the babies what they think.”
“I really don’t want to be separated from the babies,” Luo Shu said reluctantly.
“Neither do I,” Lu Hanmo sighed softly. His only wish was for the family to live together in peace and safety.
The little brother and little sister, who were playing with Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, exchanged a glance, a flicker of determination passing through their eyes.
Luo Shu had just gotten out of bed when she heard voices outside the door.
She walked out of the house and opened the courtyard door, only to see Sister-in-law He and a group of people chatting in clusters outside.
Upon seeing Luo Shu open the door, the military wives were imdiately delighted and greeted her one after another.
“Sister-in-law Lu, you’re up!”
“Good morning, Sister-in-law Lu!”
“Did our talking wake you up because it was too loud?”
Yesterday, Zhang Xiaoling said she would inform Luo Shu about the recruitnt list, so they arrived outside Luo Shu’s ho just after seven in the morning, hoping to find out the results earlier.
“Sister-in-law Lu, are the results out yet?”
“Did Director Zhang tell you?”
Luo Shu suddenly understood and smiled, shaking her head, “Not yet.” Yesterday, Xiao Ling had an ergency to deal with, and after conducting the test for the military wives, she left and did not ntion that she would inform Luo Shu of the results.
“Not yet?!” The military wives sighed disappointingly. They had not slept well last night and rushed over here imdiately after finishing their housework early in the morning. They thought that as soon as Luo Shu opened the door, they would know the answer, but now it seems they have to wait longer.
Looking at her watch, Luo Shu said, “It’s only 8:10 a.m.; let’s wait a little longer.” She understood their feelings; for them, this might be a first in their lives, and if they were recruited, they could beco self-sufficient, no longer needing to ask their husbands for money all the ti. With money, they would also have a higher status.
“We have no choice but to wait.” Everyone nodded in resignation.
“Sister-in-law Lu, you should go back inside, otherwise you might miss the call.”
“Yes, you should go in and look after the children.” Everyone urged Luo Shu, worried about missing the call.
“Hmm!” Luo Shu nodded and walked into the house. She didn’t invite the military wives in because the house definitely wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.
As ti ticked by every second, the military wives’ anxiety grew. There were twenty-one of them, with only eleven spots available for recruitnt, so they essentially had a fifty percent chance.
If they were selected, their lives would change; if not, they could only watch enviously, jealously, and resentfully as others’ lives changed.
As it approached nine o’clock, the military wives finally heard a telephone ringing inside the house.
Their feet involuntarily moved them closer into the yard, only wanting to know the results sooner. This feeling of waiting was truly unbearable.
Luo Shu picked up the phone, and Zhang Xiaoling’s voice ca through, “Luo Shu, it’s Xiao Ling. Yesterday I ant to tell you I would give you the list of military wives recruited today, but sothing urgent ca up, and I didn’t get a chance to tell you.”
“I know, those military wives have been waiting outside my house since early this morning,” Luo Shu said with a smile.
“Then I’ll read you the list now,” Zhang Xiaoling said. She had so affairs today and couldn’t go to the military area, so she could only communicate this way.
“Go ahead,” Luo Shu replied.
“Don’t you need a pen to jot it down?” After all, there were eleven nas, and it would be bad if any were mixed up.
“Just say it,” said Luo Shu. With her current mory, she could quickly rember not just eleven nas, but even a whole book if it was put in front of her.
“Okay! I’ll start listing now: Cheng Xiue, Zhang Qiaozhen, Lin Shuxiu, Li Daoi, Ma Xueying, Wang Gendi, Liu Zhengi, Xia Fang, Wu Xuei, Gu ihua, Yang Li, eleven people in total. Do you need to go through it again?” Zhang Xiaoling asked.
“No need,” Luo Shu said with a smile.
“Then I’ll get busy. I’ll co and see you in a couple of days.”
“Sure!” Luo Shu hung up the phone and saw the military wives peering in anxiously. She smiled and shook her head, then got up and walked towards them.
