Chapter 94 You are the No.1
Xu smiled and said, "Miss Zimo, you are too polite. I am very happy that you can come to my shop. Please take a look here. I will prepare some refreshments to quench your thirst."
After that, Xu went to prepare tea and snacks. Qi Zimo and others continued to select items in the shop. The goods in the shop were dazzling and made people linger.
After a while, Xu came back with some snacks and placed them on the table. The three of them enjoyed the snacks and chatted. They talked about everything from the goods in the shop to the daily life, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Jiang Zhiyu gently stroked the green tea set on the table, her eyes revealing her love for exquisite things. She gently rotated the teacup, watching the tea leaves stretch in the water, just like the old women dancing in the water. Her mother, Xu, sat beside her, watching her daughter's demeanor, her eyes full of satisfaction.
"Zhi Yu, look at this tea, it's like life, sometimes ups and downs, sometimes stretching." Xu said slowly, her voice was like a spring breeze blowing over the water, peaceful and warm. Qi Zimo and Liu Mengmeng listened to Xu's words, and they couldn't help but nod slightly, their eyes flashing with insights into life.
"That's right, ma'am." Qi Zimo took over the conversation softly. She looked at the tea leaves spinning in the teacup, as if she saw a microcosm of life. "Life is like this tea leaf. Whether it floats or sinks, it is an experience and a growth."
Liu Mengmeng also said with deep feeling: "Yes, sometimes we are just like the tea leaves, forced by life and unable to control ourselves, but as long as there is an opportunity, we should work hard to stretch ourselves and make our lives more wonderful."
Jiang Zhiyu was filled with emotion as she listened to her two friends. She looked at the tea set on the table and suddenly thought of her father. If her father were still alive, he would also like this kind of tea and this kind of conversation.
"After my father passed away, my mother paid more attention to our quality of life." Jiang Zhiyu said softly, "She always hoped that we could live a better life, instead of living for the sake of living like before."
When Xu heard her daughter mention her husband, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination and relief. She gently patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Zhi Yu, your father's spirit in heaven will also be relieved, because he has seen your growth, your tenacity and perseverance."
Qi Zimo looked at Xu and Jiang Zhiyu, and couldn't help but sigh at the deep affection between mother and daughter. She turned to Liu Mengmeng and said softly: "Mengmeng, you see, this is the power of maternal love, which can give us strength at any time and in any place."
They continued chatting in the shop, talking about trivial matters and bits of life. Their voices were like the chirping of birds in spring, cheerful and harmonious. The goods in the shop seemed to be infected by their laughter, becoming more vivid and interesting.
As it grew darker, they reluctantly left the shop.
Xu looked at these three young people and felt very relieved. She felt that the future hope of the Western Wei Dynasty lay in this new generation of people!
……
The results of the annual examination are about to come out. The list of annual examination results does not include any rankings, but only the names of the candidates who passed the examination.
Deng Ziqiu was worried about failing the exam, so he didn't sleep the whole night. He tossed and turned the whole time. His mood was like the fallen leaves in autumn, falling one by one, and he couldn't calm down.
Students have their own aspirations, but the fact that the rankings are not considered makes the competition more subtle and intense.
In the early morning light, Deng Ziqiu looked a little lonely in the square, but his heart was full of expectations. After thinking all night, he was full of expectations for the results of the annual exam, but he was afraid to face it.
"Zi Qiu, why do you look so haggard?" Jiang Zhiyu's voice brought him back to his senses from his thoughts. He looked at Jiang Zhiyu who was concerned about him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"I thought too much last night and didn't sleep much." Deng Ziqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. His words were full of fatigue, but his eyes were still firm.
"Don't take it too seriously. The results of the annual exam are only temporary. We all know your ability." Liu Mengmeng walked up and patted Deng Ziqiu on the shoulder, her tone full of encouragement.
Xiao Wen stood not far away, looking at Deng Ziqiu, with a subtle complexity in her eyes. She walked over and said softly: "Ziqiu, you don't have to be so nervous. We all believe in your ability." Deng Ziqiu nodded, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Kang Yining patted Deng Ziqiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ziqiu, relax, we are all here. Don't forget that the exam is only a small part of life. Even if we fail, we still have more opportunities."
Zhang Anjie and Zou Ting also came over, standing on the left and right of Deng Ziqiu, as if to cheer him up. Zhang Anjie said, "Ziqiu, we have all experienced such moments. Believe me, as long as you give it your all, you will have no regrets."
Zou Ting continued, "Yes, and we have seen your efforts during this period. Your efforts will definitely be rewarded."
At this time, Liao Zhen and Xu Guokun also joined the team to comfort Deng Ziqiu. Liao Zhen said: "Ziqiu, you are a very strong person, I believe you can get through it." Xu Guokun also added: "Yes, we are all a team, and everyone is supporting you."
Hu Jiahong looked at Deng Ziqiu, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Ziqiu, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but you have to believe that we are all behind you. No matter what the result is, you are not fighting alone."
Deng Ziqiu felt a warm current in his heart as he looked at these classmates who cared about him. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
After a while, the candidates gathered in front of the college's bulletin board, staring intently at the list.
On the list, names came into view one by one, but as mentioned before, the list did not indicate the ranking, only the names of those who passed the exam were listed. Deng Ziqiu nervously searched for his name, his heartbeat quickened, as if every beat was reminding him of his worries.
Finally, his eyes stopped at the list, and his name was clearly on it. At that moment, he seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
This time, the rankings were marked on the list. Deng Ziqiu's name was at the top, and he couldn't help but laugh, feeling proud of his own achievements. "Zhiyu, look, I knew your name was on it!" Liu Mengmeng said excitedly, pointing at Jiang Zhiyu's name on the list.
Qi Zimo was also full of joy and patted Jiang Zhiyu on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Brother Yu, the first place really belongs to you!"
Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly, looking at the list calmly, but her heart was already surging. She knew that this honor was not easily obtained, and it was the result of countless days and nights of hard study and unremitting efforts.
At this time, the academy was crowded with students gathering in front of the list and discussing it.
