Ms. Zhou, the owner of a physical flower shop near the above-mentioned test center, told Chinanews.com that many parents have recently ordered bouquets for the college entrance examination.

As early as more than a month ago, Xiao Yang, a senior student, considered selling flowers with his classmates in the college entrance examination these days.

Xiao Yang said that because the flowers are not very well preserved, and secondly, the price of flowers in the college entrance examination is also high recently, and many places cannot be ordered, so he chose to make it by hand.
According to him, after proficiency, the large bundle can be completed in about 10 minutes, and the small bundle takes less. On June 6, he brought a handmade bouquet of handmade college entrance examination bouquets to the vicinity of the NPC High School Entrance Examination Center, and several other students also went to other test centers. On the same day, he sold 7 bunches alone.

Mr. Zhang bought an "all-pair T-shirt" for himself and his son, who took the college entrance examination this year. But he told Chinanews.com that the child finally decided not to wear the dress before the exam.
