Chapter 212 A meaningful smile

"Oh my! Our team has a top student! I heard that Haohao got first place in the exam in Beijing."

"That's right, isn't it? It really makes me proud. It makes those city people look pale in comparison."

"Haohao has truly brought honor to the family. Captain, shouldn't we have a buffet? It will be a great time for the whole team."

Jiang Hao listened to the compliments coming from both sides, and he was not embarrassed. He said with a smile, "Uncles and aunts, let's talk about it later. My son needs to go to the toilet, but he can't wait any longer. Come on, everyone, please make way."

When the aunts and uncles surrounding Jiang Hao heard this, they quickly made way. They came here to share in the good fortune, and it would not be a good thing if the son of the top scholar wet his pants.

"Cuihua, look at these children you've raised. They're workers, soldiers, and college students. Oh, every one of them is promising. In our brigade, no, no, no, even in our commune, every one of these children in your family would be one of the best. It's really amazing."

"Cuihua, how do you raise your children? You have to tell us. We are old sisters, so we can't keep secrets."

Liu Cuihua laughed heartily. "It's just like what you said. There are still many good guys in our team. In this college entrance examination, many boys and girls were admitted to universities."

At this time, Jiang Jianguo came out of the house carrying the big bag. "Since everyone is here, let's have some candy to share in the festive mood. We definitely can't have a buffet with our conditions, but we can still afford a few pieces for everyone."

Everyone reached out to take the candy and kept saying congratulations.

Jiang Hao came back from the toilet carrying Huhu and was also pulled over to start a chat.

Everyone was talking at once, asking about Jiang Hao's situation in Beijing, and there was also an elderly lady who wanted to be a matchmaker for Jiang Hao.

Jiang Jianguo saw that this posture was not right, and worried that Shi Luo in the room would get angry if he heard it, so he quickly sent everyone away, "Everyone, please go away first. Haohao just came back and hasn't rested enough. We can talk about it later if there is anything."

The crowd then reluctantly dispersed, but a few aunts still secretly gave Jiang Hao some homemade snacks.

Jiang Hao didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.

Shi Luo had been listening to the noise outside from inside the house, and only came out slowly after everyone had left. "This scene is almost more lively than other people's weddings."

Jiang Hao walked over with a smile, "You know what, I've never been the center of attention like this in my life."

Shi Luo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come on, don't get carried away."

Liu Cuihua's mouth never fell, "Everyone is up, let's have breakfast first, I just prepared it."

Just after finishing their meal, Xie Chen, Li Zhe and Xu Qianjin came over together.

Shi Luo: "Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Li Zhe: "I ate it, I ate it. As soon as we heard you two were back, we came over to check on you."

Xie Chen smiled and patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder. "Good guy, you've become a celebrity here. You have to help your brothers more in the future."

Jiang Hao laughed heartily, "What are you talking about? You're the top student in our city. You've really made my father, the captain, proud."

As everyone was talking, they suddenly heard another noise coming from outside.

Jiang Hao frowned, "What's going on?"

Liu Cuihua came out and said, "I guess you guys are here to join in the fun again. You guys can go inside and chat. I'll take Huhu out to play. You don't have to worry about what's happening outside."

After saying that, Liu Cuihua took Huhu, who was dressed warmly, and went out.

Li Zhe was rummaging through the peanuts on the stove and glanced at Jiang Hao who was peeling hazelnuts. "Hey, Jiang Hao, you've lived in Beijing for a few years now, but how come you've become slower at peeling hazelnuts now that you're back?"

Jiang Hao didn't even raise his head, his hands moving non-stop, "What do you know? I'm pursuing perfection, making sure every hazelnut kernel is intact."

Li Zhe curled his lips, "Oh, it's perfect, I think you are just a sloppy person."

Jiang Hao stopped what he was doing, raised his head and glared at Li Zhe, "What? If you have the guts, come and peel it for me, don't just talk here and not do anything."

Li Zhe chuckled, "I'm busy flipping peanuts. Once I'm done with these peanuts, I'll come and compete with you."

As he was speaking, the peanuts on the stove gave off a burnt smell. Li Zhe's face changed and he hurriedly went to deal with the stove in a panic.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Look at you, you're still blaming me, but you can't even take care of yourself."

Li Zhe scratched his head awkwardly. "This wasn't an accident. I'll definitely pay attention next time."

Xie Chen smiled and shook his head. "You two should stop bickering. By the way, Shi Luo, when are you planning to go back this time?"

Shi Luo: "A few days before school starts. There's nothing to deal with in Beijing, so it's okay for me to stay here for a few more days."

Xu Qianjin: "Hey, seriously, you and Jiang Hao have such a good relationship after all these years. You worked in the same factory and now you even go to the same university. You really are destined to be together."

When Xie Chen heard Xu Qianjin's words, he smiled meaningfully.

Shi Luo: "Didn't you three apply to the same university as me? If it's fate, wouldn't it be even more fate that you and I applied for the same major? But what were you thinking? Why did you also apply for literature as a major?"

Xu Qianjin: "I think this major is more labor-saving. In the future, I just need to use my brain and there is no need for physical labor."

Jiang Hao was also quite convinced by this reason. "Your thoughts are really the same as always."

Xie Chen: "We bought tickets back to Beijing tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow." Shi Luo was a little surprised.

Li Zhe straightened up from the stove. "Yes, going back early will allow me to clean up and adapt to the new environment. We haven't been back home in the past few years since we went to the countryside, and I don't know what our home looks like now."

Jiang Hao stopped peeling hazelnuts and looked at Xie Chen, "Why are you in such a hurry? I was thinking about getting together with everyone more often."

Xie Chen patted Jiang Hao's shoulder and said, "We have to leave sooner or later, and we can see each other more often in college in the future."

Xu Qianjin nodded aside, "That's right, let's play together when we get to school."

Shi Luo: "That's right, is everything settled here?"

Xie Chen: "Don't worry, we've sold everything we could to the educated youth who couldn't leave. We've also given some to the better members of the brigade. The luggage has been packed, and the brigade leader has also helped to issue the certificates."
