Chapter 1212: Chapter 1203: I Can't Bear to Use It, Always Treasured in My Wardrobe_1 Chapter 1212: Chapter 1203: I Can't Bear to Use It, Always Treasured in My Wardrobe_1 Three days of non-stop exams were nerve-wracking.
Examinees were mentally exhausted, listless, and dragged their heavy feet out of the front gate.
Some were tormented by the exam questions to the brink of madness, crying loudly as they left the gate. Others couldn't bear the fatigue, collapsing on the ground, unconscious.
The common people in the Imperial City were used to seeing various reactions among the examinees. No one deliberately made a noise or pointed fingers.
Proctors maintaining order dragged those people away and focused their attention on the candidates coming out one after another.
Su Hu and his wife, Li Xiu'e, were there with their four slightly younger children.
Li Xiu'e reminded the children not to make a fuss and chat at the exam front gate.
The four children obeyed, following their parents closely and tiptoeing to look towards the main gate, hoping to find their brother among the crowd.
As Su Zixuan walked out of the examination hall with his bookbag and lunchbox, his energetic demeanor was eye-catching.
“Brother, brother is coming out.”
Heidou's eyes gleamed mischievously, and he spotted his brother first among the crowd. He squeezed through the gap in the crowd and reached Su Zixuan.
“Heidou, how did you get here?”
Su Zixuan's eyes lit up, and he affectionately patted his little brother's head.
“Dad, Mom, Maodou, Niuniu, Sister Wan, all came to meet brother.”
Hei Dou grinned happily, pointing towards the direction where their parents were standing.
“Let's go home.”
Su Zixuan felt warmth in his heart and walked forward hand in hand with his younger brother.
“Doudou, how did you do on the test?”
Upon seeing his son, Su Hu was filled with happiness.
“The child has been taking exams for three days, let him rest at home before asking.”
Li Xiu'e felt pity for her son, patted him, and took the lunch box from his hand.
“Brother, let me carry your bookbag.”
Maodou, being sensible, quickly took the bag from his brother's shoulder and put it on his own.
“Brother, I…”
Heidou was a beat too slow, his hand hanging in midair.
“Mom and Dad, I'm not tired.”
Surrounded by his loved ones, Su Zixuan felt a wave of warmth in his heart.
“How can you not be tired after three days?”
Li Xiu'e looked at her son's rough beard and felt her heart ache.
“Really, I'm not tired.”
Swinging the scent sachet in his hand, Su Zixuan smiled, explaining to his family, “I have this sachet from my sister to refresh my mind. The exam questions were clear, my brain was always excited, and I didn't feel tired at all.”
“Sister Yu made the scent sachet herself.”
Seeing the sachet, Li Xiu'e's eyes filled with nostalgia, “You've kept this for so many years?”
“Sister gave me more than one, and I haven't had the heart to use them. They've been stored in the wardrobe.”
As Su Zixuan gently stroked the sachet, memories of the happy times in the countryside filled his heart with warmth.
Li Xiu'e looked at him tenderly, “Sister Yu said, you should have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow she will host a feast in the palace to celebrate the exam with friends and family.”
“Sister said we can go too.”
Heidou couldn't keep a secret, and eagerly joined in the conversation.
“Haha, great.”
Su Zixuan was in high spirits, his eyes sparkling, “Let our whole family go.”
“Let's go, let's go home.”
Su Hu called out to the children, reassuring them as they headed home.
“Let's go home.”
Heidou cheered in his tender voice, “We're going to have chicken stew with sealwort.”
“This kid only thinks about food.”
Li Xiu'e jokingly scolded, seemingly annoyed but with overflowing affection.
“Mother's stewed chicken is the best. I also want to eat it.”
Su Zixuan held his mother's arm, walking side by side with her.
Li Xiu'e felt warmth in her heart, patted his arm, and smiled kindly, “Mother stewed two chickens, that should be enough for you to eat.”
“Oh, let's go home, let's go home.”
With the promise of chicken stew with sealwort awaiting them, Heidou was especially excited, hopping and jumping around his family members, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Su Hu watched happily, his beard curling with joy.
The family chatted and laughed together, leaving the crowded flow of people, and happily headed home.
