Since she attended high school in the county town before, Jiang Xue easily found the education bureau.
Jiang Xue's luck was good too; the self-study exam had only been implemented for two years, and it was being taken seriously. When the people at the education bureau heard she wanted to take the self-study exam, they patiently explained the situation to her and registered her.
With the self-study exam settled, Jiang Xue was in a great mood and hummed a little tune as she headed to the hospital. She had always been concerned about her father's illness, so she planned to first inquire about how much his surgery would cost.
At the hospital, there was quite a line of people waiting to see the doctor. Jiang Xue waited in line for half an hour before it was her turn. The doctor on duty was an elderly doctor, and after Jiang Xue explained her father's situation, the doctor told her the approximate costs.
