Chapter 126 Claiming an Admission Notice
"My God! If my son can get into Kyoto University, I'll treat him like a god. It's Kyoto University!"
"By the way, this girl must be a new resident. I've never seen her before. She's a good student and very pretty."
Occasionally, a few words of praise for Jiang Xixi would pop up from the crowd.
The older women's faces were filled with excitement, exhilaration, and envy.
Seeing her neighbors genuinely happy for her, Jiang Xixi was generous; there weren't many White Rabbit milk candies, but plenty of fruit candies.
Jiang Xixi went back again, and when she came out again, she was holding a small bag of candy.
"Aunties, my husband and I just moved here recently. We've been tidying up the house these past few days and haven't gone out. From now on, we're part of our neighborhood, so please take good care of us!"
“We originally planned to visit all the neighbors after the house was tidied up, but we didn’t expect to have such a good opportunity today. It just so happens that we are happy today, and we hope that everyone can share in the joy.”
Having lived a second life, Jiang Xixi was quite adept at social interactions. With just a few words, she had the old ladies beaming with joy.
After the candy was handed out, the women became even more enthusiastic, and their blessings were all different.
"Haha, then this old lady will share in your good fortune as the top scholar."
The atmosphere instantly became even more lively.
The postman, trapped between the elderly women and unable to move at all, was on the verge of tears. But thinking of his important task, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"Ladies, could you please leave me a way? I have other notices to deliver, and this can't be delayed."
The older women became anxious upon hearing this.
"Young man, why didn't you say so sooner? This is a big deal. What if it gets delayed? Quick, everyone, make way."
However, some people raised doubts during the process.
"Wait a minute, are there any students in our alley taking the college entrance exam this year?"
"That's right, most of the people in our alley are old men and women, and we haven't heard of any kids taking the college entrance exam!"
Everyone was a little confused, so the postman finally managed to break through the encirclement. When he looked up again, he saw wrinkled faces full of doubt and curiosity.
Believe it or not, it really startled the postman.
Before he could say anything, another voice rang out from the crowd.
"You guys forgot, didn't Old Li's granddaughter come back from the countryside this year? I heard from Old Li's neighbors that the girl seems to have taken the college entrance examination."
"Wow, that's incredible! That girl is such a good student. She was sent to the countryside as an educated youth for so many years, and she still managed to do so well on the exam."
They knew that at this time, the universities sending out admission notices were all prestigious universities in Beijing.
"That doesn't make sense either. I remember that girl is the same age as my granddaughter. She's always been an average student. Can she really have done that well in the college entrance exam?"
"Cough cough~" A coughing sound rang out.
Everyone turned to look at the slightly older woman standing behind the postman, her face beaming with joy.
"Has my acceptance letter arrived?"
The woman's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, perhaps too much so, as her expression became somewhat ferocious.
The neighbor, an older woman, who had just questioned the man's grades, now looked rather uncomfortable.
Who would have thought that when you're talking badly about someone, the person in question will suddenly appear behind you? That's incredibly awkward, even if she doesn't feel like she's saying anything bad, but just expressing her reasonable suspicion—yes, reasonable suspicion.
With this thought in mind, the woman's expression finally calmed down.
However, the calm did not last long.
"This girl must have suffered a lot in the countryside. She's the same age as my daughter, but standing next to her, she looks like her mother..."
"Ahem~ Sui Lian, watch your mouth!"
Although she did think there might be some truth to it, she decided to keep those thoughts to herself; saying them aloud would offend someone.
Jiang Xixi also looked at the scene in front of her with some curiosity. Was this woman also a college student this year?
Judging from what these people are saying, is she a sent-down youth?
But that doesn't make sense. How come these educated youth who went to the countryside are now in the city? Even if they were taking the college entrance exam, they should have finished the exam locally and waited for the results. They shouldn't be here.
Did your family find you a job and ask you to come back early?
But looking at this woman, it didn't seem like her family could find her a job.
That's really strange.
However, Jiang Xixi didn't plan to stay there and watch the excitement any longer. Wei Laicheng had already prepared dinner and called her home for a meal.
But as soon as Jiang Xixi stepped through the door, she was so shocked by what the postman said that she stood frozen in place.
"It shouldn't be. I only have two admission notices here. I just delivered one, and the name on the remaining one should belong to a man."
"How could this happen?" Li Fang looked completely distraught, and the excitement in her heart subsided.
"Why don't you take another look? I was the only one in this alley who took the college entrance exam recently, so it shouldn't be like this. Why don't you take another look for me?"
Seeing Li Fang's pleading face, the postman had no choice but to take off his mailbag and display its contents to her, hoping to dissuade her from her plan.
"Look, this acceptance letter clearly states that its owner is named Wei Laicheng, which doesn't sound like a girl's name at all!"
Wei Laicheng?
Jiang Xixi was overjoyed, not expecting that both her and her husband's admission notices would arrive today.
However, her joy quickly faded.
“Wei Laicheng? I know him. Why don’t you give me this admission notice first, and I’ll deliver it to him later?” Li Fang seemed to have composed herself and said very kindly.
No one noticed that a fleeting hint of jealousy and hatred flashed quickly in the depths of Li Fang's eyes.
Why is it that this person can do so well on the exam and get into a prestigious university, while I don't even know if I can get into college?
Thinking about the subtle disdain her family members had shown her during this period, and the series of sacrifices she had made for the college entrance examination, Li Fang's mind gradually became twisted.
If I'm not having a good time, then nobody should be having a good time either!
Does this person know Wei Laicheng? I've never heard him mention him before. Jiang Xixi was a little puzzled, but she didn't think much of it. She assumed that this person was a neighbor that Wei Laicheng had met while going out to buy groceries these past few days, and that this person just happened to be kind-hearted.
But what she said next made Jiang Xixi feel uneasy.
"No, the admission notice is an important document that must be signed for by the recipient or a family member. What is your relationship with this person?" The postman was a little wary, but not really.
Li Fang wanted to get this done as soon as possible, so without thinking much, she blurted out a sentence.
“He is my husband from the countryside. He went home a while ago and can’t come back now, so he asked me, his wife, to sign for the package for him first.”
What is that?
Is Wei Laicheng her husband?
And who is her husband?
If Jiang Xixi doesn't realize there's something wrong with this at this moment, she'll have lived a wasted life!
