Everything is ready; we're just waiting for school to start.
He Tiantian wrote letters to Grandma Qi San, Qi Xiaoyan, and Qi Daniu in Qijia Village, telling them that she had been admitted to university and inquiring about their situation.
Just as He Tiantian was waiting for school to start, she unexpectedly encountered Huang Jingli and Cui Ying.
Huang Jingli got He Tiantian's address from Secretary Qi. They have been admitted to a university in Nanshi. They arrived in Nanshi today and will report for duty tomorrow.
He Tiantian opened the door and saw Huang Jingli, and was slightly taken aback.
"Jingli, what are you doing here?" He Tiantian asked, then added, "Did you get into university? Which university did you get into?"
Huang Jingli came in and said with a smile, "I got into the Chinese Literature Department of Nanshi University, as did Cui Ying. Cui Ying's senior is in the Archaeology Department. I arrived in Nanshi today and will report to the university tomorrow. I had nothing to do, so I came to see you. I've missed you a lot since I haven't seen you for so long."
"Hehe, that's great," He Tiantian said. "By the way, where's your luggage?"
"It's already been placed at the guesthouse," Cui Ying said with a smile. "I'm sorry for the intrusion of my senior brother and me."
He Tiantian then noticed that there was a man at the door; it turned out to be Hua Shan.
"Don't bother us, come in quickly." He Tiantian said with a smile, "Actually, you don't need to stay at the guesthouse, I have room at home."
"Hehe, we brought a lot of things, so we're sorry to trouble you," Huang Jingli said. "We just came to get acquainted with the place, and we'll come to your house often in the future."
Grandma Wang was taking care of the two children while He Tiantian went to make tea.
Hua Shan entered, exchanged a glance with Cui Ying, and their eyes simultaneously fell on the large tortoise under the big tree in the courtyard.
Something's definitely fishy!
This is definitely not an ordinary turtle!
The little tortoise sensed Cui Ying and Hua Shan's gazes, glanced at them a few times with its tiny green eyes, and continued to rest under the tree with its eyes closed, ignoring the two of them.
These two are just a little more skilled than ordinary humans; they are nothing to worry about.
After being introduced by He Tiantian and greeting Grandma Wang, the three of them went to play with the twins.
After He Tiantian poured tea and brought out some snacks for everyone, she and everyone drank tea and ate snacks together on the table.
"Jingli, where's Lin Xiaoru?" He Tiantian asked. When she left, Lin Xiaoru was busy studying all day, hoping to take the college entrance exam. She had heard that Lin Xiaoru had taken over Huang Jingli's reference materials and had been bullying Huang Jingli.
Huang Jingli smiled and said dismissively, "Of course she didn't pass! All she does is eat, drink, and have fun. How could she possibly fail when she had to cram at the last minute!"
"Oh, that makes sense." He Tiantian nodded. "If she didn't get in, how could she let you get into university smoothly?"
Hearing this, Huang Jingli smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed right, I passed the exam. Lin Xiaoru still wanted to use my name to go to university. I disagreed, and she threatened me. Fortunately, I had the commendation letters from Secretary Qi and the Qijia Village Brigade, which prevented Lin Xiaoru from succeeding!"
“From now on, college entrance exams won’t consider your family background, so you don’t need to worry,” He Tiantian said. “Nanshi is different from before.”
“Yes, things are different now,” Huang Jingli said. “Before, we didn’t dare to talk or laugh loudly when we walked on the street. Now, as I walked from the guesthouse, I found that everyone’s spirits have improved a lot, and they no longer drag people out to criticize and struggle against them at the drop of a hat.”
“Yes, things will get better and better in the future,” He Tiantian said. “Oh, I forgot to tell you, I also got into the Chinese Literature Department of Nanshi University. We can go to school together from now on, and we can look out for each other.”
"That's great," Huang Jingli said. "With Sister Tiantian here, I can ask you questions whenever I don't understand something."
“Sister Tian is a local, she must know the best places to eat and have fun. We can ask her for recommendations when we go out to play in the future,” Cui Ying said. Even for the sake of that turtle, she wanted to get along well with He Tiantian.
Just then, Huo Yingjie came in from outside, pushing a bicycle with a large sack on the back seat.
Huo Yingjie narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing the people who had come to his home.
Haha, those two!
They actually chased me all the way to Nanshi! Their real intentions are definitely not what they seem!
"Hehe, we have guests at home. Luckily, I bought a lot of things at noon to treat them well," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. Guests are guests, and Huang Jingli and He Tiantian have a good relationship.
"Okay!" He Tiantian replied. "By the way, where are Sister Wu and Ye Xiaofan from the village?"
"Sister Wu and Wang Lei both got into their local universities, as did Ye Xiaofan and Zhang Qingshan. They all went back to their hometowns," Huang Jingli said. "Of the educated youth in our village, only two didn't get into university: Lin Xiaoru and Li Mingkai."
"Huh?" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "Li Mingkai didn't pass the exam either?"
Wait a minute, Li Mingkai clearly passed the exam in his past life, didn't he?
Moreover, in this life, Li Mingkai is a teacher at Qijia Elementary School. He has a long time to review and has complete materials. It's impossible for him not to get into university.
Huang Jingli whispered, "Li Mingkai hasn't received his admission notice yet, and everyone says he didn't pass the exam."
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian understood and said, "Hehe, not receiving an acceptance letter doesn't necessarily mean you didn't pass the exam!"
Huang Jingli was taken aback, recalling the rumors that Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli had hidden He Tiantian's letters. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Li Mingkai's acceptance letter might have been hidden by Qi Shuli.
"Sweetie, do you mean the acceptance letter was hidden?" Huang Jingli asked doubtfully. If that's the case, then Li Mingkai is really in a bad situation.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "If I'm not in Qijia Village, who would know!"
Huang Jingli knew that He Tiantian also had a bad impression of Li Mingkai, so she stopped talking about Li Mingkai.
Li Mingkai was too ambitious, and Huang Jingli's relationship with him was just so-so. Especially after Li Mingkai went to the county propaganda team, they had almost no contact. They were just acquaintances who nodded and greeted each other when they met!
"By the way, Tiantian, Da Niu got into the teachers' college in Huai City, just as she wished." Huang Jingli knew that He Tiantian and Qi Da Niu were close, so she took the initiative to tell He Tiantian about Qi Da Niu's situation.
"That's great! That girl has always wanted to be a teacher. Now that she's in teachers' college and has been assigned a job, she'll be a full-fledged teacher." He Tiantian was very happy. Qi Daniu was a very pure person, and people like that are especially suited to be teachers.
"Oh, right, your dear sister, Zhengmin, is currently helping to build a factory in Qijia Village!" Huang Jingli said, recounting recent events in Qijia Village.
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "Build a factory? That's too outrageous!"
“Yes, construction had already started when we arrived. They said they were going to build a jujube processing plant,” Huang Jingli said. “They said the jujubes from the back mountain of Qijia Village have excellent health benefits and can be made into health products.”
