Hua Baoguo, who was being thought of, leaned against a platform pillar to rest. Just then, he suddenly heard someone mention the college entrance examination. Counting the days, the results were coming out.

He didn't even bother to stretch his body and headed straight for the train station office.

Since he was the train conductor, he was granted permission to borrow the phone very quickly.

He knew the post office was some distance from his home, but he didn't forget that the post office had a loudspeaker.

"Is this Zhuo Tianhe? This is your Uncle Baoguo." Hua Baoguo had long since memorized the post office's phone number, all for this moment.

She was secretly pleased with herself. See? She always said she was out of touch with reality, but she was prepared all along. He just didn't put in the effort. He could have done a great job.

Zhuo Tianhe is quick to speak, but he is also well-informed. He doesn't need to specifically ask his family members for information; he can get the news easily.

"Uncle Baoguo?" Zhuo Tianhe was so excited that he almost dropped the microphone in his hand, but at the last moment he remembered that it was public property and quickly hugged it tightly with both hands.

"Yes, it's Hua Baoguo who lives across the street from you. Have you forgotten me? I used to hold you when you were little!" Hua Baoguo thought he didn't recognize him, so he quickly said, afraid that the kid was out of his mind and would hang up on him.

Zhuo Tianhe, “…” So this Uncle Baoguo called to ask him for a favor?

No, that's not the point. Why was he so agitated just now?

Hua Baoguo didn't give him much time to think, otherwise his mind would have come up with countless versions of the same thing.

Are you listening to me? Or is the phone broken?

What's going on? Is the phone malfunctioning? I clearly heard a sound just now.

Afraid that the other party would hang up, Zhuo Tianhe hurriedly said, "I'm listening, I'm listening. It's Uncle Baoguo. May I ask what's wrong?"

"How about I go and call Grandpa Hua over? You can call again in a few minutes?"

They can't leave normally, but they've been neighbors for decades. If they don't help, their own fathers will punish them when they get back.

Anyway, no one's coming over now, leaving for a bit shouldn't be a problem...

"It's nothing, don't go call anyone. I just wanted to ask if the college entrance exam results came out today? How did my sons do?"

"Uncle, so you're asking about this." Zhuo Tianhe's voice was a little loud. Although the Hua family didn't publicize it, there was nothing in this county that he didn't know.

"How about it? Do you know?"

"Of course I know that. Your family is amazing; everyone got into the top class. Xiangyun and her husband even got the best scores in our county." Zhuo Tianhe had also checked the results yesterday, and naturally paid more attention to these familiar people.

Besides, there's a list in the community. The Hua family thought they could keep it a secret by not saying anything, but little did they know that everyone just didn't want to bring it up, to avoid feeling the pain in their chests.

They all have children taking exams, so why is that other person so outstanding?

Hua Baoguo stomped his feet excitedly, "They all passed the exams! All of my children can go to university?"

Zhuo Tianhe: "Yes, if you don't believe me, have Zhiping and the others come over to answer the phone later."

"How could your uncle not trust you? There's no need to answer the phone. I'm leaving again soon. This is just a temporary stop, and I can't wait that long."

Although Hua Baoguo was very excited, he hadn't forgotten the important matter. He was about to hang up when he realized that it would be impolite.

He at least showed some concern, "Tianhe, did you also take the college entrance exam? How did it go? Did you pass?"

Zhuo Tianhe felt as if he had been stabbed by a thousand knives in an instant. This was truly a case of bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have said. He had finally managed to forget about it.

He did take the exam, but he was forced to by his family.

He's been working for several years now, and he's forgotten a lot of what he learned from his teachers.

Given that he didn't put much effort into his studies, it would be a miracle if he passed the exam.

But his family didn't believe in superstitions and insisted that he sign up.

As he walked out of the examination hall, he knew he had absolutely no hope, so he continued with his life as usual, which had no impact on him whatsoever.

But when the results came out, the family was in an uproar.

He only had a chance to escape and relax by going to work, but Uncle Baoguo was deliberately bringing up a sore spot, rubbing salt into his wounds...

"this……"

"Alright, I know you're all good kids, there won't be any problems. I have to go now. When I get back, I'll come over to your dad's house and ask him for a drink."

Beep...beep...beep...beep...

Zhuo Tianhe held the microphone, unsure how to react. Uncle Baoguo wouldn't be back for many days…

If he adds fuel to the fire again, how will we be able to live like this...?

Hua Baobao was unaware of his inner turmoil; he was simply overjoyed.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately shouted happily to the people in the office, "All of my children have been admitted to university!"

Regardless of whether he knew these people or not, he pulled out cigarettes from his pocket and offered them to everyone he met, saying, "Here, have a smoke. My child got into university. Have a smoke. My child got into university..."

Seeing his foolish appearance, someone couldn't stand it and asked, "Which university did you get into? Tell us so we can all hear it."

Hua Baoguo slapped his forehead. "How could I forget to ask about this?"

The family's children all said they passed the exams...

Just as he was about to ask to borrow their phone again, the train whistle sounded, urging them to hurry...

There wasn't time to call back, but that didn't dampen Hua Baoguo's spirits. Before leaving, he remarked, "No matter which school it is, all six of our children got accepted..."

Little did they know that his words would make everyone in the office envious for days. What kind of family is this? All six children passed their exams...

Hua Xiangyun would wait until she received her admission notice before completing the formalities. The next day, she packed some things and rode her bicycle home first.

Seeing that she left early and returned late every day, Kuang Wu had long been curious and got up to follow her, but Hua Xiangyun glared at him, so he reluctantly stopped.

It wasn't that he was afraid of such a young girl, but he just didn't want to offend her master.

I've never seen an apprentice leave early and return late like this, and when she comes back, her master still has to prepare a meal for her.

Back then, in order to become an apprentice, he did everything around the house and served his master obediently, just hoping to learn more skills.

She became even more determined to stay by Master Wu's side no matter what. She refused to believe that a woman's heart could be harder than a man's.

He pulled out a hardened biscuit from his pocket and tossed it back in. He couldn't stay outside the door any longer today; if he didn't get something to eat, he wouldn't have the strength for a long battle.

He glanced back at the tightly closed courtyard gate, gritted his teeth, and sped off towards the county town.
