Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
Sun Xiu glared at Li Jiakang.
But I was happy today, so I didn't say anything.
It is even less likely that Hu Guilan and Li Ping would blame Li Jiakang.
Li Jiakang quickly changed the subject, "Girl, why didn't you go to the factory this morning and tell us about this?"
"I think it's the same when I come back tonight."
"That's different. You should have told us about this right away. Forget about it this time, but when you receive the acceptance letter, you must tell us right away."
"Yes, my daughter, you must inform us immediately about this matter." Sun Xiu also agreed.
Li Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, I'll come find you when the notice arrives."
Now everyone nodded in satisfaction.
Sun Xiu clapped her hands, "Alright, let's talk while we eat."
Everyone sat down at the table and served themselves some food.
After eating two bites, Li Xu said, "Will you still hold a banquet for Big Sister?"
From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there are not many people in the entire Tang County who have been admitted to universities, but there are more people who have been admitted to technical secondary schools.
But it doesn't add up to much.
What’s important is that there is now a political review for college entrance exams, and family background is the determining factor in whether a candidate can go to college.
To put it bluntly, how can someone who can’t even get enough to eat have the energy to study?
Although there are exceptions, how many such people are there?
This makes college students even more valuable.
So after passing the exam, every family would hold a banquet to entertain guests even if they had to borrow money.
"I've discussed this with your father. The situation isn't right right now, so we won't hold the banquet. We'll just inform the relatives and have our family happy." Sun Xiu responded.
"Yes, that's right. When the time comes, we must pay our respects to our ancestors and then to the Kitchen God."
Li Jiakang thought that maybe it was the Kitchen God in heaven who spoke well of his family, and with the blessing of his ancestors and Li Mei's hard work, he was able to get into university.
Although it is believed that Li Mei's efforts account for most of the reasons, other factors cannot be ignored.
So now he will get angry with anyone who dares to stop him from worshiping the Kitchen God.
Everyone: ...
As long as everyone thinks you are happy, you can worship anyone you want behind closed doors.
Li Xu thought about it and said, "How about this? This is a happy occasion anyway. I'll get some eggs back and we can make some red eggs to send to our relatives."
Sun Xiu's eyes lit up. "We actually thought about that, but we felt that eggs were difficult to get right now, so we decided to just forget about it."
"It's okay, I can get it."
"Thank you, Xiaoxu." Li Mei also smiled happily.
Li Xu was helping her, so naturally she should be thanked.
"Okay, no need to thank me." Li Xu said while chewing.
Putting aside other things, Li Mei was admitted to university. If this news gets out, who wouldn't look up to the Li family?
Reputation is still quite important in this era, and he is also a beneficiary. Moreover, this is nothing to him, as he still has plenty of eggs stored in his space...
After dinner, Li Jiakang suddenly asked, "I haven't asked in the past few days, how is the third child doing with his housework?"
"He did a great job. He was the one who washed Wenbo's diapers, and they were very clean." Hu Guilan explained from the side.
In fact, there is not much housework to do at home. The most they can do is just cleaning.
Even though the weather is so hot now, people don’t change their clothes every day.
Clothes tend to get torn if washed too often, so everyone in the Li family only washes their clothes once every few days...
The only thing that needs to be washed frequently is the baby's diapers.
It gets stained with something every day and needs to be washed.
Hearing Hu Guilan speak for him, Li Chen asked with a shy face, "Dad, I've been doing pretty well these days, can we stop doing this?"
Li Jiakang glanced at him and said, "No, you've only been doing this for a few days. Du Sen is still cooking at home. We didn't even ask you to do this, and you're still not satisfied?"
Li Chen suddenly shuddered and said, "I'm content. I'll continue working until I go to school."
Du Sen came several times these days. Li Chen and he felt like they had met too late, and they were so close that they almost kowtowed to each other and became sworn brothers.
He also understood Du Sen's miserable experience at home. In short, he had to do all kinds of work.
If you disobey, you will be met with Du Feng's iron fist.
His treatment was much better than Du Sen's. Seeing that Li Jiakang disagreed, he pretended that he had never said that.
Li Jiakang nodded in satisfaction. "Don't just play around all day. Learn more from your sister. Du Sen is no longer allowed to go to school. If you repeat a grade several times in a row, you can imagine what will happen to you."
Li Chen nodded his head like a chicken eating rice, "Yes, yes, don't worry, I will study hard now. At the very least, I must reach the minimum academic standard of our family and graduate from junior high school."
Li Ping and Li Xu, who were standing by, both turned pale when they heard this.
Is this guy insulting them?
Since when did graduating from junior high school become the minimum educational standard for the Li family?
There are several people in their family who have lower education than them.
For example, Li Jiakang and his wife...
"Okay, I'll wait for the day you graduate from junior high school."
Li Jiakang didn't force it, as he felt that he was already quite satisfied as long as Li Chen could graduate from junior high school.
Now he is just waiting for the admission letter to arrive, which is the top priority.
I didn't expect that I would have to wait for five or six days.
After receiving the notice, Li Mei quickly ran to inform her family.
After receiving the news, Li Jiakang and others asked for leave and went home without saying a word.
Similarly, the news spread quickly in the factory.
After arriving home, everyone looked at the admission letter carefully, fearing that it would be torn or dirty.
After reading it, he asked Sun Xiu to put it away.
Then Li Jiakang said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I've finally waited for it. Xiaoxu, when can you get the eggs?"
"I'll go out and get it in a moment."
"Okay, eldest brother, go to the kitchen and help your mother make the red eggs. Third brother, clean the table and other things at home again. We have to worship our ancestors tonight. Everyone else should do what they should do. Once the red eggs are ready, we can go and announce the good news."
After hearing his arrangements, everyone got busy.
After a while, Li Xu brought back a basket of eggs.
Then Li Ping and Sun Xiu started making red eggs in the kitchen, and finally Li Mei came forward to help for a while.
We argued about this for a while.
After the red eggs were made, Li Ping and Li Jiakang rode their bikes, took their guns and red eggs, and went to the countryside to announce the good news.
Li Xu went to his relatives' home in the city.
After Li Jiakang and the others came back, they took out a few red envelopes and handed them to Li Mei, "This is the red envelope your second uncle and your uncle gave you."
Li Mei didn't refuse and took it. But after opening the red envelope, she was surprised. "Dad, why is there so much money in it?"
She originally thought that getting a few yuan would be good, but she didn't expect that the red envelopes all contained at least 10 yuan, and one even contained 30 yuan.
"It's all their kindness, just take it."
