The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 83 - 82: License Plate Ending 021

Ling Chengyan returned from a long trip, was granted two days off, and sent Zhou Guoqing off, then prepared to spend quality time with the kids.

She had spent most of the past month in the vehicle, whether driving or resting in shifts, her nerves were tense, and even someone as resilient as her felt deeply exhausted, wanting to take a break and relax.

Unexpectedly, someone just couldn’t let her rest.

The next day was cloudy, with clouds covering the scorching sun, and the temperature wasn’t too high, so Ling Chengyan discussed with Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing about taking them to the park.

It had been almost two months since she moved into Huicheng, and she was out with the car almost every day. Even when she wasn’t out, she had to repair and maintain the vehicle, wash the rain cover... busy every day, with little time even in the early mornings and evenings, she also had to look for wild rabbits and pheasants to supplement the kids’ meals.

Since the children came to the city, they had been in the compound and hadn’t gone out, let alone to a park.

This time, taking the kids out, besides visiting the park, Ling Chengyan also planned to get Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing a few sets of clothes.

She had inquired, Xiaoyu was a bit too old to formally start school, but the teachers’ college offered night classes with elementary, intermediate, and advanced classes targeting different levels of individuals, wishing to acquire knowledge.

The night school was very formal, and after studying, there would be periodic exams. Once the students reached a certain level, they would issue a corresponding certificate of completion.

Xiaoyu could already recognize and write a few hundred Chinese characters, perform basic arithmetic, and use a dictionary... With this level, Ling Chengyan decided to send her to the elementary class, study for a while, and take the exam to first obtain an elementary school completion certificate.

Ling Chengyan had learned that the night school’s elementary certificate also entitled one to attend the middle school entrance exam. Passing the exam, Xiaoyu could potentially enter as an official middle school student.

However, before this was realized, Ling Chengyan did not plan to tell Xiaoyu, to prevent high hopes from leading to greater disappointment.

Ling Chengyan picked up little Shi Tou, put him on the bike, and then let Xiaoyu hold Xiaoxing and sit on the back seat, before cycling out of the compound.

As she passed by the compound’s management office at the gate, she stopped to chat with Liu Caixia and Xie Yuhui.

Xiaoxing gleefully announced, "Mama is taking us to the park."

"Going to the park, no wonder Xiaoxing is dressed so beautifully today. Look at that bow on her pigtail, prettier than a real butterfly!" praised Liu Caixia as she affectionately touched Xiaoxing’s pigtail.

"Oh, you and little Ling are lucky, having both a son and a daughter. Not like me, struggling to have three, all monkey children!"

Xie Yuhui couldn’t stop laughing, "Oh, Sister Liu, aren’t you exaggerating? Everyone knows your three are exceptional, first-class in character and appearance, not to mention they are outstanding in studying..."

Listening to them chat about children and family, Ling Chengyan found an excuse to leave.

Ling Chengyan took the three kids to the department store first.

With tickets issued during the competition and those from the past two months, she went to the textile and clothing counters to shop, getting a new outfit for both Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing, and buying a cute sunhat for Xiaoxing and Shi Tou.

Six-month-old Shi Tou was quite a little character, also fond of pretty hats. Wearing it, he was all smiles, and when Chengyan tried to adjust it, he quickly raised his little hands to defend it, worried it might be taken off.

After leaving the department store, the group finally turned towards the park.

The sun had already tilted westward, and the weather, which wasn’t hot to begin with, had become more refreshing.

By the park entrance, there was a cart selling ice cream, with a wooden box painted white, and the words "Ice Cream" in red letters.

Ling Chengyan gave a dime to Xiaoxing, who ran over joyfully, bought two cream popsicles and a red bean one, returning with two pennies in change. The cream popsicles were three cents each, and the red bean one was two cents.

Chengyan parked the bike under the shade, and the three of them enjoyed a popsicle each, quenching thirst and dispelling heat in the sultry weather.

Xiaoyu had barely taken a few bites of the red bean popsicle when she heard someone calling her, "Comrade Ling Chengyan. Comrade Ling Chengyan..."

Turning around, Chengyan saw Xiao Liu running towards her, out of breath.

Reaching her, it took Xiao Liu a while, between breaths, to explain. It turned out that after gaining approval from Han Laoda, Commander Xing processed Chengyan’s exam application. Then, he personally called the certification unit... As luck would have it, they were told the next exam was the following day, and all participants must be present that afternoon for a physical check and registration. Passing the physical was essential to sign up for the next day’s exam.

So, quickly, Commander Xing sent Xiao Liu to find Ling Chengyan and take her for the physical and registration... Xiao Liu went to the family compound, and after encountering Liu Caixia, chased them to the park... Luckily, Chengyan had been delayed at the department store with the kids, otherwise she would’ve missed Xiao Liu.

Ling Chengyan hesitated for a moment.

After all, she had promised the three kids a visit to the park, but now, at the entrance, they had to turn back. She worried the kids would be too disappointed...

Xiaoxing’s little eyes were indeed a bit red, but Xiaoyu held her hand and dutifully said, "Mama, we’ll come again tomorrow..."

"If not tomorrow, then the day after, we’ll find time," Xiaoyu quickly interjected.

Chengyan embraced Xiaoyu and Xiaoxing, and cycled back, dropping the kids home before hurriedly following Xiao Liu to register for the exam. She barely made it within the deadline, completing and submitting the registration form.

Somehow, news of Chengyan registering early for the exam spread through the Automobile Company by dinner time.

After dinner, when Chengyan went to inspect the new recruits’ dorms as usual, Zhang Wanxiang and Wu Qingyun, among others, surrounded her with a barrage of questions: How was her exam preparation? Was she nervous? Some even asked about her driving tips...

Chengyan answered two questions and then waved, saying, "How’s your housekeeping going? Or do you have all the theory down and memorized? If not, how about a spot quiz?"

As soon as she mentioned the quiz, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

After touring several new recruits’ dorms and randomly testing some theoretical knowledge, Chengyan went back to the family compound.

She didn’t review anything else, just prepared a pen and a notebook, then washed up and went to sleep early.

Early the next morning, she cycled to the test site to take the theory exam first.

The theory test consisted of ten questions. Once completed, they were graded on the spot. Only those who passed the theory exam could move on to the practical test.

Chengyan went smoothly through the process, delivering perfect answers in both the theoretical and practical tests.

The examiners, observing her in green, secretly discussed that indeed, well-trained talent comes from the ranks.

Once through, Chengyan filled out a form, submitted a one-inch bareheaded photo, and paid twenty cents to process the license.

While waiting for the official driving license, the examination office also issued a temporary license. With it, she could still drive prior to receiving the official one.

Thus, owning a temporary driving license, Chengyan officially took over the No. 021 Liberation Truck from Zhou Guoqing the next morning.
