Chapter 300: The End of the Art Exam
"Dad, Mom, let's go watch the fireworks." Fang Yifan hurriedly pulled Tong Wenjie and Fang Yuan and walked towards the door.
"Where's Lei'er?" Tong Wenjie looked at the door.
"He is with Gu Yu. Don't worry, he won't be lost. We will come up and call you to come down."
Several children filed in, ran to their parents, and pulled them out.
"What fireworks? I haven't heard of any fireworks shows near us?"
Fang Yuan asked doubtfully, representing the common voice of several parents.
"We released it ourselves." Fang Yifan pulled Fang Yuan and answered quickly.
"You set off the fireworks yourself? Where did you buy them? This is illegal.
You can't set them off. The state has regulations that prohibit setting off fireworks in Yanjing." Ji Shengli said with a serious face.
"Don't worry, they're not real fireworks."
Ji Yangyang said with a smile. He pulled Liu Jing up and explained a little in her ear.
"Well, it looks like the kids have made arrangements and want to give us a surprise, so let's go check it out together."
Fang Yuan said with a smile that although he didn't understand the inside story, there would be no problem as long as it was not illegal.
"Where is Xiaoyu?" Song Qian asked Qiao Yingzi who was holding her arm.
"He, Taozi and Lei'er are setting up the scene. We came up and called your parents to watch the fireworks together." Qiao Yingzi said with a smile.
Led by their children, the parents came to the arch bridge in the community. The lake surface was covered with thick ice, and people and cars could pass through it.
"Brother, is everything done?" Qiao Yingzi waved and shouted to Gu Yu from a distance.
"Okay." Gu Yu replied loudly.
"Let's go, we'll go over there too." Then he said with a smile to Tao Zi Lin Lei'er beside him.
"Yeah~" Huang Zhitao smiled and nodded.
"What kind of surprise are you guys planning? It's so mysterious."
Song Qian saw Gu Yu and his companions coming over, so she waved to Gu Yu, pulled him to her side, and helped him tidy up his clothes.
"We want everyone to relive the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year,"
Gu Yu smiled, saw that everyone had arrived, and took out his cell phone to check the time.
"Everyone, count down to ten. Ten, nine, eight..."
The children started shouting numbers together, and gradually the adults joined in.
It was exactly twelve o'clock, and around the arch bridge, many firework bubble machines lit up at the same time.
With the sound effects and lights of fireworks, countless colorful bubbles are flying, complementing the red arch bridge, forming a beautiful picture of the world.
"Wow~ So beautiful~"
“It’s so nice, just like real fireworks.”
“This is the little joy of life~”
The children snuggled up to their parents, and the family enjoyed the New Year's Eve scenes in their memories together.
After the clock struck whirl, everyone went back to their homes, washed up and took a break.
The next day, Gu Yu was woken up by Qiao Yingzi. He pulled Yingzi to lie on the bed for a while, then got up to wash up.
Song Qian has already cooked the dumplings. Eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year also symbolizes reunion.
After breakfast, Gu Yu was dragged by Qiao Yingzi to the bank to check how much money was in the bank card that Gu Tingfeng gave him.
She wanted to buy Star Wars 2 Lego, which is quite popular and had just arrived in the store.
"Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions?" Qiao Yingzi's eyes became strange as she counted, and she turned her head to look at Gu Yu.
"It's just a number. What do you want to buy?" Gu Yu shrugged and said indifferently.
"I want to buy the store..." Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh, that'll have to wait until next year's New Year's money arrives."
Finally, Gu Yu returned home with a large box of Lego Star Wars 2.
Naturally, Song Qian complained about his reckless spending and spoiling Yingzi too much.
Qiao Yingzi would also hold Song Qian's hand and act coquettishly. This was their family's way of getting along.
The happy Spring Festival time without studying always ends very quickly.
It’s not that the winter vacation is over, but the remedial classes arranged by Song Qian started from the fourth day of the new year.
Gu Yu still doesn’t understand what the point of tutoring is.
Forget it, as long as Aunt Qian is happy. If she is happy during the day, Gu Yu will be happy at night.
In this way, the last few days of winter vacation were spent in tutoring.
Gu Yu and Qiao Yingzi also learned from Song Qian that Liu Jing was diagnosed with mid-stage breast cancer and was currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Ji Shengli submitted an application to retire, intending to return to his family and take good care of Liu Jing and Ji Yangyang, who is in his third year of high school.
Ji Yangyang also became more mature and sensible, becoming the most diligent student among the group, and his grades improved rapidly.
In addition to studying, I also took on the responsibility of taking care of my mother.
Fang Yifan also worked hard on the art exam. Although he didn't study for a long time, maybe he was really talented.
After the Spring Festival, professional examinations of various art colleges and universities came as scheduled.
Fang Yifan moved around the country and successfully passed the professional exams of the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, Nanjing University of the Arts, and Sichuan University of the Arts.
Just when he was showing off his status as a prospective college student to his friends, he forgot that there was an art student among them.
"Fang Yifan, your grades are too bad, aren't they? You're even outside the top 100."
Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao laughed out loud upon hearing this, and Gu Yu couldn't help laughing too.
The main reason is that Fang Yifan was too cocky just now, with his hands in his pockets, looking like he had no rivals, but his handsomeness didn’t last more than three seconds.
After Wang Yidi finished his art exam, he returned to his normal high school life.
She successfully passed the acting exams of many universities including the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, and Shanghai Theatre Academy, and ranked in the top 15.
With her academic scores of over 500, it was a sure thing for her to be admitted to these schools.
She finally had time to stay with Gu Yu in a relaxed and happy mood, ready to take a step further at any time.
"Why is it so bad? Didn't I rank among the top students at Nanjing University of the Arts and Sichuan University of the Arts?"
Fang Yifan pulled out the results of the other two schools and said unconvincedly.
"Don't you want to go to college in Yanjing?" Wang Yidi blinked curiously.
"I... I haven't thought about it yet. Besides, I have passed the professional exam, so why can't I go to Yanjing University?" Fang Yifan asked stubbornly.
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? The art exam also depends on the academic performance.
For example, the Central Academy of Drama has recruited 60 people for its musical theater major this year, and you are ranked 97th.
Then you must have better academic scores than the 37 people ahead of you to have a chance to be admitted to the Central Academy of Drama because of your high overall score."
Wang Yidi shook his head helplessly and explained to Fang Yifan.
"Ah? There's still this happening?"
Fang Yifan was dumbfounded. He thought that as long as he passed the professional exam, he could go to his ideal university.
"Fang Hou, with your current academic performance, if you want to surpass the thirty-seven people ahead of you..."
Qiao Yingzi patted Fang Yifan's shoulder with sympathy, as he naturally became negative.
"How about you consider Nanjing University of the Arts? When school starts in September, my brother can take you with him when he sends me."
