Two days later, the Yun family set off for Jing County. Except for Yun Chaoyan who was pregnant, everyone else went to pay homage to the deceased.
After two days and two nights of driving, we finally arrived at Jing County, a small county in the central and southern part of the country. After getting off the train, everyone, led by Yun Huaying, went straight to Aunt Lin Shan's house.
Because Lin's father had called them in advance, when Yun Huaying and his group came, Lin's aunt and her husband were waiting at home. After sitting for a while, Uncle Lin took them to meet his second brother.
The next morning, it took nearly three hours to dig the grave, open the coffin and cremate the remains.
This matter went so smoothly thanks to the help of the Lin family's relatives. Before leaving, Yun Shaofan once again came to express his gratitude and left them with relatively generous rewards and gifts.
They didn't stay in Jing County for long. They had lunch in the county town that day and took the train back to Beijing in the afternoon.
After returning to Kyoto and resting for a day, they rushed to the Yun family's ancestral land. Yun Shaofan, his father and son, and his two sons-in-law took hoes and dug two graves. Yun Huaying personally placed the urns of his grandfather and mother in the pits for burial.
Time is a bit tight this time, and the tombstone engraving and other things have not been prepared yet. I plan to complete the worship next year during the Qingming Festival.
After everything was done, all the younger generations knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully, and also paid tribute and kowtowed to the tombs of the Yun family’s ancestors that were as far as the eye could see.
When they drove back to Huailuo Hutong, before they had time to drink a sip of tea, Lin Shan rushed in holding Yangyang, her face full of excitement: "Huaying, your college entrance examination results are out, and you are the top scorer in the Jingdu college entrance examination."
"Huh? How do you know?" Yun Huaying was slightly surprised.
"My aunt is in the college entrance examination paper marking team. She just called me."
Li Shutong and Li Bin's aunt were colleagues, but not in the same office. She excitedly cheered, "Huaying, you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
"Wife, you are awesome."
Han Zheng is usually very calm and composed, but this time he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He hugged her and kissed her fiercely without caring about the presence of others.
Yun Huaying was still a little thin-skinned. She patted him in amusement and said with a smile, "I think I did OK on the test. I should be in the top ten. Being the top scorer was beyond my expectation."
Yun Shaofan was so happy that he couldn't find words to describe it. He had been running around these days and was a little tired, but now he was full of energy. He quickly pulled his son-in-law out and said, "Nanfeng, let's go, let's drive with me to buy firecrackers."
"Dad, you have to buy more. Huaying won the first place in the imperial examination. Jingmo and Chaoyan both did well in the exam. They will definitely pass the exam as well."
"Well, buy more. Let's go buy a whole cart."
When Yun Shaofan walked to the front yard, he remembered that he might not have enough money. He ran back to ask his wife for a wad of money and hurried out to buy firecrackers.
Lin Shan had already received the news, and the Han family naturally received the news even earlier. At this time, the whole family was overjoyed.
They wanted to notify Yun Huaying, but she went to the mountains today and the phone could not reach there, so they had to wait patiently at home for them to return.
Yun Shaofan quickly bought the firecrackers, but Yun Huaying asked him not to set them off until the results were announced and confirmed.
The Han family was in the same boat. They wanted to take out all the firecrackers in the house and set them off immediately, but the results would not be officially announced until tomorrow, so they all suppressed their joy.
When the couple returned home, they received an unprecedented warm welcome. Grandma Han even gave her a big red flower that she had just hurriedly made.
When Grandpa Han came home from get off work today, he walked with a smile that showed his teeth. As soon as he entered the house, he told the good news: "Huaying, Grandpa just went to confirm your grades. You got first place in the city, 18 points higher than the second place. You got full marks in all four subjects, and only lost two points for the Chinese composition."
"In other words, I'm only two points away from getting the perfect score and becoming the top scorer?" Grandma Han asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes, I read the composition written by Huaying. It was obviously a full score composition, but they still deducted two points. The old guy surnamed Wang also argued with me with twisted logic, and actually said that a little flaw is the most perfect. Damn it, I just scolded him. I won't give him medicinal tea next month." Old man Han became excited when he talked about this.
"You're right to scold me."
Grandma Han firmly supported him in this matter. If she went, she would also have a good talk with the marking group.
Yun Huaying couldn't help but laugh as she listened. She was really touched by the love and doting of her grandparents.
"Grandpa, have you seen our results?" Han Lin asked as a representative.
“No.”
Old Master Han only cared about his grandson's wife, the top scorer in the college entrance examination. He didn't care about anything else. He smiled and said to Yun Huaying, "Huaying, call Shaofan and ask him to buy more firecrackers for the house. Tomorrow is a big day for the Yun family."
"It seems that my cousins did very well in the exam." Yun Huaying guessed with a smile.
Old Master Han didn't give a clear answer, but only sighed: "The descendants of scholarly families are indeed different. In terms of cultural background, the descendants of rough families like our Han family can't compare to them in the slightest."
"Grandpa, the Yun family's cultural heritage is the result of generations of teachings and accumulation, but the Han family's achievements were earned through the bloody battles fought by you and Grandma. Although the two families have different paths, their contributions to the country are the same. There is no need to compare them otherwise."
Yun Huaying once talked with her grandparents about the past of the Han family. Both of them came from ordinary civilian families and were born in a turbulent era in the country. At that time, they chose to join the army because of the pressure of life.
They were able to reach their current status by fighting for their lives. In order to defend their country and drive out the enemy, they selflessly dedicated themselves and sacrificed their lives. This revolutionary spirit of tenacity is something that their generation should deeply remember and learn from.
The grandson's wife's words touched the old man's heart. Seeing a big red flower on the coffee table, Old Man Han smiled and said, "It's time to prepare the big red flower. When the good news comes tomorrow, move all the firecrackers out of the house and set them off at once. I'm going to blow the whole courtyard up."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Grandma Han smiled happily.
Yun Huaying’s results are out, and the results of others are still unknown, but everyone has a rough idea in mind.
They checked their answers after the college entrance examination and didn't do as well as her. Even if the admission rate is low this time, it shouldn't be a problem for them to get into a junior college.
For the Han family, being able to get into a junior college is already very good. Their academic performance is usually just average. This time their grades have improved dramatically, thanks to the emergency tutoring given to them by their two sisters-in-law.
Jiang Yuan was confident in herself. She had originally estimated that she would be in the top 50, and with this score, it would not be a problem for her to be admitted to a prestigious university, so she waited with peace of mind for the college entrance examination results to be announced tomorrow.
