Chapter 52

When the countdown starts, time will pass extra fast.

The day of the exam came in a blink of an eye. Because of Wenrou's advance knowledge, the educated youths in Shanshu Brigade and even the entire Zhuye Village were more or less confident than others.

Before the exam, they repeatedly checked their admission tickets and stationery several times, but it was still basic operation.

At Shen Yu's suggestion, several educated youths from Shanshu Brigade went to the city one day in advance to rent a house near the test site.

There were many people who had the same idea as them, but fortunately, Shen Yu had a year of work experience and had a lot of connections in the city.

Among the residents near the test site, there were students who had taken his repair class. Knowing that the master was going to take the college entrance examination, they took the initiative to greet Shen Yu in advance and asked him to live in his house.

Knowing that there was more than just Shen Yu, he also arranged the houses for other educated youth.

"Master, there is freshly drawn hot water in the thermos, the toilet is in the yard, and my mother will take care of the three meals a day. You and your friends can just prepare for the college entrance examination!"

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Master, you should have a good rest. Call me if you have anything."

The tall and honest young man led the educated youth to familiarize themselves with the environment. The young man's home conditions were not bad. It was a brick and tile house that had just been built a few years ago. It was simple and plain, but it was cleaned up neatly. It can be seen that it was carefully cleaned.

The young man, who was much older than Shen Yu in both stature and age, spoke to Shen Yu with respect, which made several educated youths laugh.

Ignoring the educated youths who were looking at him with smiles in their eyes, Shen Yu followed the young man out of the house and handed him the prepared bills.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'm sorry to bother you these few days. Take these bills first. I'll refund you if you have more money or make up for less."

"No, no, no, Master, how can I take your money? If Hu Zi knew, he would be so embarrassed. Besides, if you didn't think I was stupid and were willing to teach me, I wouldn't have this good job now. My parents and our whole family are grateful to you. If they knew that I took your money, my mother would be the first to not forgive me! Don't be polite to me."

His family used to live a good life. His father was a driver in a brick factory and his mother was an ordinary worker. It was a dual-employment family with a peaceful and happy life.

However, his father had a car accident while delivering goods and his right leg was amputated. The family was devastated. The factory gave him compensation and the opportunity to study because his father lost a leg.

He was born with a simple mind and strong limbs. He was not good at studying. If it were not for the change in his family, he would not be interested in learning a craft.

But looking at the expectant eyes of his mother and sister at home, he could only resist.

He had already made a plan in his heart. Even if he was scolded to death by the master, he would never give up and must stick to it to the end. However, he did not expect that the master was cold but patient.

No matter if he was a talented apprentice or a stupid one, he treated them equally, neither harshly nor slacking off.

With a plain tone, he could always make the boring courses fascinating, and he persisted day by day.
