Chapter 4 must pass the examination
The next day
After closing the door and returning to the room, in the living room, my mother took out the best tea leaves in the house, feeling quite distressed as she brewed two cups for Aunt Xu and the others. However, this "good tea" was only considered so by the Dong Xuebin family; Aunt Xu and Xiao Dong certainly would not appreciate it. After tasting it, Aunt Xu frowned and set down her cup, not taking another sip. "Xiaoping, I heard your son is also taking the exam at No. 15 Middle School? Does he have confidence in passing the baseline?"
Dong Xuebin also said: "Section Chief Xu, Aunt Xu"
Good morning
In the next moment, Dong Xuebin only saw his hand reaching out into the air, unconsciously trying to grab the flesh-colored triangle panties draped over the metal rack
"It doesn't matter; if you can't pass this time, there will be another opportunity. If not, just find a class to attend for now." Mother gently patted her son's hand, "You will definitely pass eventually."
Section Chief Xu and Aunt Xu are a couple. It is said that in the first half of the year, he was promoted and is now a small leader at the customs, either at the deputy section level or the regular section level; in any case, he is doing quite well in the Beikou area. However, Dong Xuebin does not have a good impression of their family, especially of this Section Chief Xu. He seems to have been accustomed to being surrounded by people, with his eyes set high, never looking at others properly.
A faint whisper suddenly drifted into my ears
Dong Xuebin saw his mother being pushed by someone, and he immediately became furious, saying, "Do you think I have time for this?"
Dong Xuebin's face was even warmer, "Ah, no need, no need, I'll take it back to dry, thank you, Aunt Xuan."
Qu Yunxuan lives alone, and her home is filled with a fragrant aroma, characteristic of a woman's boudoir. The small living room is tidily arranged, and the glass panes are spotless. As Dong Xuebin stepped into the room, he felt extremely awkward and touched his nose, his face flushed as he said, "Well, about my clothes..."
Half an hour later, Aunt Xu took Xiao Dong to bid farewell and leave. Before stepping out, Xiao Dong cast a cold glance at Dong Xuebin, then disdainfully averted his gaze. In his view, Dong Xuebin's family was too poor, and he lacked both ability and resources. Not to mention the civil service examination, even finding a job would likely be a problem. He was the kind of person destined to live at the bottom of society for a lifetime, truly not worth associating with.
Dong Xuebin followed the sound and glanced at the bedroom door, then walked over and gently turned the doorknob, opening a small gap.
Qu Yunxuan smiled and said, "In the future, if you have any dirty clothes, just bring them to me, don't be polite."
Standing before his mother, Dong Xuebin gritted his teeth and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely pass the civil service exam this time, even if it costs me my life." The sorrowful expression on his mother's face ignited Dong Xuebin's fighting spirit. A person lives for a breath, and a Buddha competes for a stick of incense. Why is it that others' parents are all officials, and their sons are all civil servants, while he can only be an ordinary citizen, unable to even provide his mother with a better meal or warmer clothes?
Section Chief Xu, with an air of authority, gave a slight nod, not even speaking to Dong Xuebin and his mother, and continued to walk downstairs
Alas, civil servants, civil servants
This civil servant must pass the examination
Qu Yunxuan shot him a glare, remaining silent
... ...
After returning home, Dong Xuebin tried several times to go BACK, but to no avail
Mother pulled Dong Xuebin to sit down and sighed, "The hope is not great, sigh, Xiao Dong should be fine, right?"
This time, he only wants to prove himself and his mother!
Whew, that was close
Mom! Dong Xuebin's eyelid twitched as he strode over.
Upon seeing her son looking at her with tears in his eyes, the mother couldn't help but feel her face flush with embarrassment. She hurriedly wiped her eyes and smiled, saying, "Mom is fine, really fine"
It is precisely the time period of one minute ago
In a fit of urgency, my mother nudged Dong Xuebin with her elbow, saying, "What are you doing? You have no sense of courtesy at all!"
Mom chuckled twice but did not respond
The screen is flickering
After Mother welcomed Aunt Xu and Xiao Dong into the house, Dong Xuebin still heard a neighbor downstairs greeting Section Chief Xu
Dong Xuebin nearly fainted and dropped the * picture * book on the ground, reflexively tossing his underwear towards the washing machine, "Aunt Xuan! No! It's really not!"
Thank you for your help with the matter from some time ago, Xu Ke. May I have the honor of treating you to a meal today?
He figured out that Aunt Xu came to show off with her son
The language carries a hint of flattery
"That's really great, your son is quite accomplished." Mom said enviously, blinking her eyes and moving a bit closer to Aunt Xu, "If Xiao Dong isn't busy, could he help Xiao Bin with his homework?"
Knock, knock, someone is at the door
The blazing summer sun is obscured by clouds, creating a somewhat overcast day; the misty air is much cooler than in the previous days
Having become prosperous, one must absolutely ensure their own prosperity
I saw my mother holding my father's black-and-white photograph, sniffing while wiping her tears with her sleeve, crying silently. "Why can her son enter the government office, but my son cannot? His father, you must bless our son to pass the exam smoothly. As long as our son can enter the government office, I... I would be willing to live a few years less."
Dong Xuebin thought to himself, are you cursing me? How do you know I won't pass the exam?
This is Aunt Xuan's underwear
It has happened again! Time has reverted once more
The competition within the system is so fierce; can he really squeeze through the crowd of people? It seems highly unlikely. Not only is his hope slim, but also for his university classmates like Dong Xuebin, even the few who excel academically and are exceptionally intelligent may not necessarily be able to pass the exams. There are two hurdles to clear: a written test and an interview. Moreover, for the position they are applying for, typically only one person is selected. Just think about it, that is truly a case of one in ten thousand; how difficult must it be?

Creak, the door opened, "Oh, it's Xiao Bin. I was just about to go to work, come in."
In a hurry, Dong Xuebin slammed on the brakes, completely relieved. He quickly clutched his clothes and exited the bathroom, saying, "Aunt Xuan, I, I am going back now"
Dong Xuebin could not help but feel a deep sense of emotion while browsing hetushu.com, sighing that being an official is indeed advantageous; if only he could also pass the civil service examination.
It looks really good
As the atmosphere became tense, Aunt Xu chuckled and said, "Actually, your little Bin doesn't need to rush to take the civil service exam. Look at the current university graduates; most of them go out to work for a few years to accumulate experience before taking the exam. That way, the pass rate is slightly higher. Otherwise, how can one take the exam without any exposure to society? Do you see how many fresh graduates pass the civil service exam? Not even one in a thousand!"
Afternoon
Aunt Xu smiled proudly and said, "Of course Xiaodong can pass. He was careless in last year's national exam and didn't perform to his level in the essay section. This year, he is studying diligently, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to rank among the top few." After a pause, Aunt Xu lowered her voice boastfully and added, "I'll just tell you, Xiaodong's father has already made arrangements with the customs. As long as Xiaodong passes the interview score threshold, they will definitely let him through."
Just as Dong Xuebin was engrossed, a head poked in from outside the restroom, "Hurry up, Aunt is still at work..." The sentence was left unfinished, and Qu Yunxuan immediately spotted the flesh-colored thong in Dong Xuebin's hand, causing her face to flush instantly
All is lost! Dong Xuebin felt that his good image in Aunt Xuan's mind was completely ruined, and he found it hard to defend himself, saying: "It's not like that! I! I just took the wrong one! I..." He couldn't explain himself at all. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't had the chance to test whether he could turn back time today, and immediately shouted, "BACK!"
Aunt Xu advised Section Chief Xu from behind, "The exam is approaching for our son, so make sure to come home early tonight. Let's go out to eat."
She was polishing her shoes at the restroom door when Dong Xuebin entered the bathroom to get his clothes. His T-shirt and pants were hanging on a rack alongside several towels, while his underwear and socks were also suspended on the metal railing behind. Dong Xuebin quickly stepped forward, pulling the clothes off the hanger without even looking, clutching them and the books to his chest. The image of Qu Yunxuan's soft little hands rubbing against his underwear flashed through his mind, leaving him both excited and embarrassed; his feelings were incredibly complicated.
Faced with his mother's expectations, Dong Xuebin felt the weight on his shoulders suddenly increase, "I... I will do my best"
Your aunt might come over to visit later. Mom looked up and asked, "How is your preparation for the civil service exam going?"
Qu Yunxuan was kneeling on the ground, bending over to smooth out the wrinkled flesh of her foot caused by the high heels. Upon hearing the words, she looked up with a smile and pointed towards the bathroom, saying, "The clothes are hanging in the bathroom. I washed them yesterday, and they might not be completely dry. Why? Are you in a hurry to wear them? Should I get the aunt to use a hairdryer to dry them for you?" One leg was squatting low while the other was slightly higher, revealing a patch of black void in the middle of her OL skirt, sparking the imagination.
Mom went back to her room to take a nap, while Dong Xuebin was in the living room, scribbling and drawing on a stack of past exam questions for the civil service entrance exam, making his final push for revision. However, after a while, he found himself unable to focus any longer, as he felt that even if he performed exceptionally well, he still wouldn't reach the threshold for passing the civil service exam. Continuing to study like this seemed futile. Sigh, what to do
As soon as he lost focus, when Dong Xuebin thought about taking his clothes home, he suddenly realized in shock that he was holding a pair of flesh-colored lace-trimmed panties. Oh no, he had taken the wrong item; this was not his underwear, but that of Qu Yunxuan. Dong Xuebin slapped his forehead and quickly trembled as he clutched Aunt Xuan's panties in his hand, intending to return them to the metal rack. However, the damp texture of the panties stirred something within him, and after a moment of hesitation, he cautiously squeezed them, feeling both excited and nervous as he pulled at the elastic band, peering curiously inside.
We all have two shoulders to bear one head, so who is better or worse than the other
Upon seeing him, my mother immediately greeted the man warmly, "Section Chief Xu, heading to work?"
Xiao Dong was already quite displeased with his mother dragging him to visit someone. Upon hearing this, he immediately turned his head and said in a stiff tone: "Mom, I really don't have time."
Xiao Dong pushed up his glasses frame, dully holding a review material for the essay examination, not saying a word, just as proud as his father
Qu Yunxuan gave him a glance and said, "What are you being polite for? It is I who should be thanking you."
Mom quickly grabbed Dong Xuebin and opened the door to welcome them in. Outside the door stood two people: one was a middle-aged woman in her forties, and the other was a young man in his mid-twenties wearing glasses. They were Aunt Xu, the neighbor, and her son, Xiao Dong. Behind them, a middle-aged man with a commanding presence and a large belly was coming down from the fourth floor.
Hello, Section Chief Xu, you are here so early today
Just after getting out of bed, thinking about how his underwear and socks were still at Aunt Xuan's house, Dong Xuebin felt extremely uncomfortable. He hurriedly walked to the nearby room 302 and rang her doorbell. After all, she was the woman he secretly admired, and Dong Xuebin wanted to present his best side to Aunt Xuan. However, the thought of his underwear and smelly socks was quite embarrassing. Sigh, if only he had fought to take them back last night, he hoped Aunt Xuan hadn't washed them yet.

It seems to be inside the room, but I can't hear it very clearly
"So-so." Dong Xuebin's good mood suddenly dissipated, and he sighed, "But the hope is not great. You know, my studies have never been very good." The main reason he did not casually find a job after graduating from university was to prepare for the civil service exam. However, the university Dong Xuebin attended is a relatively average school in the capital, and his grades are also quite ordinary. Overall, the probability of passing the civil service exam is extremely low; in fact, it should be said to be impossible.
Breakfast consisted of porridge made from leftover rice from yesterday, one egg, and a plate of pickled cucumbers. Due to the recent price increase of eggs in the market, Dong Xuebin and his mother had not been able to afford them for many days. Sitting opposite his mother, he carefully peeled the eggshell, savoring each bite slowly and deliberately.
It seems that this ability to return to the past is indeed limited to once a day
