Chapter 5 Review! Review! Review!

Dong Xuebin quickly asked some questions that he could not understand

Grandpa Hu furrowed his brow, remaining silent

Eventually, Dong Xuebin became gradually familiar with him, and their conversations became less restrained. "Alas, the person who set this exam question really... why make the questions so difficult? Aren't they just deliberately making things hard for us?" Dong Xuebin had harbored this grievance in his heart for a long time. "I have tackled the essay questions from various provinces over the past few years, and each one is more difficult than the last, more absurd than the last. Alas, it's easy for them to set the questions; they just have to move their lips. But what about us? Who have we offended?"

Isn't that so? Hehe, can the old man really deceive my savior?

Grandpa Hu was taken aback and laughed heartily, "Xiao Dong, let me tell you, most of the questions on last year's Shanghai essay exam were written by my son"

Grandpa Hu chuckled: "Xiao Dong, do not underestimate the three words 'false, grand, and empty.' Sometimes, when used appropriately, they can be quite effective and can enhance your argument. When it is time to be false, be false; when it is time to be grand, be grand; when it is time to be empty, be empty. This applies not only to civil service examinations but also in the realm of officialdom. Come, let me share some insights with you..."

You have spoken too harshly

Really

Grandfather Hu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter

Of course, if you can't pass, you can come to me to settle the score

Regarding the civil service examination on hetushu.com, Dong Xuebin already has a strategy in place, but he feels completely unprepared for the essay portion. "Alright, I will head over now, thank you very much."

... ...

Thinking about how he completely changed the destinies of Grandpa Hu and Qu Yunxuan, Dong Xuebin also felt quite moved

Uh, I apologize, the civil service exam is in a few days, and I haven't prepared well yet

Dong Xuebin coughed and said, "Preparing for the exam, preparing for the exam"

Not long after, Grandpa Hu said: "One cannot say it like that. If all the questions were simple, anyone could answer them correctly. Then what is the point of having civil service exams? Don't you think? Even if everyone scores full marks, in the end, there are still only one or two positions available, so competition is inevitable; it remains the same. " He opened a reference book from previous years, pointed to a page, and said: "Both my son and I are scholars; he is more capable than I am and has already obtained a doctor's degree. Look, last year, more than half of the essay questions in the Shanghai civil service exam were set by him."

This is the only method he can think of to pass the civil service examination. Although the chances are only about 10% to 20%, it is still worth a try

Grandpa Hu said with a bitter smile, "The person who set the question is deliberately making things difficult for you."

At the very moment of time reversal, Dong Xuebin felt his lips moving, indicating that he was in the midst of speaking. Opposite him, Grandpa Hu from hetushu.com frowned as he listened to him. Upon seeing the old man's expression, Dong Xuebin realized it was a bit late to go back. "Um, Grandpa Hu, where was I?"

The voice from across was somewhat surprised, "You want to take the civil service exam? The registration for this year's first half in the capital?" After a pause, Grandpa Hu pondered, "Well, if you are not very confident about the written exam, come find me at the Comprehensive Oncology Department of the Tumor Hospital. Don't be fooled by my appearance; I can still impart some answering techniques for the civil service exam, especially regarding the essay portion. What do you think? Are you interested?" Grandpa Hu pondered, "Well, if you are not very confident about the written exam, come find me at the Comprehensive Oncology Department of the Tumor Hospital. Don't be fooled by my appearance; I can still impart some answering techniques for the civil service exam, especially regarding the essay portion. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Dong Xuebin finally realized that his earlier complaints had inadvertently implicated Grandpa Hu's son

However, as Dong Xuebin's tone shifted, he picked up the compilation of essay examination questions and said, "However, the essay questions from Beihe Province two years ago and Shanghai last year were quite interesting. Just look at the quality of those questions; they are difficult, but they are engaging. If this year's civil service exam in the capital features such questions, even if I can't answer them, I wouldn't have any complaints."

The next morning

Ding ding ding, the phone rang. Dong Xuebin picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. "Hello? Good day?"

My surname is Hu

Thanks to you, everything is fine, haha. Are you free today? If you are not busy, could you come to the hospital to keep me company for a while?

Practice ... ... practice. ... ... ... practice ...

"Why buy anything?" Grandpa Hu laughed heartily, pulled him to sit down, and gently touched the family photo, turning it to show Dong Xuebin with deep emotion. "This is my eldest son, this is my daughter, and here, this is my youngest son and daughter-in-law." The woman in the photo had a prominent belly, seemingly pregnant. "... Sigh, it was so close, so close to not seeing my newborn grandson. Little Dong, that day, thanks to you pulling me back from the brink of death, I, the old man, thank you, thank you!"

My mother seemed a bit perplexed and asked, "Xuebin, what are you doing?"

Do not say, Grandpa Hu is truly knowledgeable, he speaks with great authority on every subject.

Indeed. Dong Xuebin thought for a moment and followed this line of reasoning, saying: "This is too difficult for people!"

Dong Xuebin feigned surprise, "Ah?"

"My son has always been more capable than I am." Grandpa Hu, feeling greatly comforted, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Hehe, come here, Xiao Dong, let me explain the essay topic to you again, and I guarantee you will score high this time"

Capital Tumor Hospital

After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin informed his mother with a shout, then took his reference book and stepped out the door.

Hello, is this Xiao Dong and the Book Bar? A hoarse voice came from over there

With only a few days left until the exam, since I have made bold claims, I must take action.

Dong Xuebin was taken aback, "Ah? Really?"

后退！

Oh, you need not worry; I know my limits. As long as BACK can still be used on the day of the exam, then his efforts will not be in vain

Dong Xuebin said, "Are you Grandpa Hu? How is your health?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Grandpa Hu suddenly said: "Have you brought the reference review materials for the essay? Come on, what points do you not understand? I will explain them to you."

By the way, I haven't used the BACK today yet

I apologize, may I ask you?

Grandpa Hu's eyes were somewhat moist. "Sometimes I think, my lung cancer is untreatable; dying early would bring some peace. But when it comes to the brink of death, I find I can't let go of anything. To live, yes, one must continue to live!"

Dong Xuebin listened attentively for an entire afternoon

After dinner, Dong Xuebin returned home and locked himself in a small room, rummaging through drawers and cabinets in search of something. Eventually, he unearthed a stack of machine-readable cards and blank paper from a small camphor wood box under the bed, placing them on the writing desk. He then prepared an eraser and a 2B pencil, beginning his memory training. ABCD, 1234, his mind was filled with options and * diagrams *.

One hour ... ... two hours ... ... ... three hours ...

Grandpa Hu pondered for a moment and replied, "The topic you just mentioned, if answered in such a subjective manner, is not very good. After all, it is not a well-refined argument, and there will inevitably be some minor errors and issues. This could slightly deduct points in the hands of the examiner."

Peh peh, look at this broken mouth of yours, this is...

Dong Xuebin let out a sound, wondering if he had misspoken

Dong Xuebin has not been working for a while, so he has been somewhat financially constrained recently. On his way here, he bought some seasonal fruits from a fruit stand, the more affordable kind. After inquiring around in the inpatient department, he finally made his way to the third floor, to the west side adjacent to the comprehensive oncology department of the tumor radiotherapy section. He arrived at the door of room 3016 and knocked gently.

Dong Xuebin got up from the sofa in the living room, which was piled high with machine-readable cards, and once again immersed himself in practice, "AABDDCCABDC......" He closed his eyes and murmured to himself.

Dong Xuebin walked over, smiling as he placed the fruit on the table, "Grandpa Hu, I wish you a speedy recovery"

Mom blinked: "Didn’t we buy the review materials for this year’s exam? What use is that scrap of paper?"

Dong Xuebin questioned, "So how should I respond? Should I speak abstractly? Should I adopt a lofty tone?"

"Please come in." On the hospital bed by the window, Grandpa Hu was wearing his reading glasses, looking at a photograph.
