Chapter 286: The Acceptance Notice Arrives]
Qin Yian was squatting in the greenhouse watering the fields when she suddenly heard the crackling sound of firecrackers outside. The sound was getting louder and louder and kept ringing.
She stopped what she was doing, looked outside and muttered, "Why is it so lively outside? It sounds like it's at my door."
"Sister, sister, there's good news!" Qin Yue's excited voice rang out from far to near. In a flash, he ran to her, gesticulating and pulling her, saying, "Sister, an uncle is here with your admission notice. Come on, the admission notice!"
"What? The admission notice has arrived."
Qin Yian was overjoyed and threw down the ladle in her hand and ran out.
Zhao Lijuan ran into the house happily at the door, holding two admission letters in her hands, and shouted, "Granddaughter, come here quickly, the admission letters have arrived, look, it's from Hua University!"
Qin Yian ran out and saw that the elders in the yard had rosy faces. There were two unfamiliar faces standing between her grandmother and her mother-in-law. Her grandmother was talking to one of them. When she saw her come out, she waved excitedly.
"Oh, my precious grandson, you are amazing. You got the first place in the exam, the top scorer in our city. Come here quickly, Uncle Zhang from the admissions office is here to give you a reward."
Suddenly, fireworks were set off in Qin Yian's head, making her dizzy. She felt drunk without drinking. She was so happy that she didn't know what was going on. She ran over with a big smile on her face.
Although it was not the first time she got the first place in the exam, it was the first time she got the first place in the first college entrance examination. The value of this was unique and high. Those days of review were not in vain.
Qin Yian wanted to confirm again and asked: "Grandma, what did you say? Who got the first place?"
"Who else could it be? You got the first place, the top scholar, and our family also had a second place. Jinghe was the runner-up in our city. He is really promising. Our children are really amazing!"
Wu Qiuyan was so happy about this happy event that she looked around the yard for another child.
"By the way, where is Jinghe? Why can't I see him?"
"He's back, he's back. Jinghe is here. We met him outside."
Qin Zhengyi and Old Man Xia ran in with Qin's parents, followed by Lu Jinghe who ran in hurriedly carrying a piece of pork.
Qin Jiaguo looked at the admission letter in his mother's hand excitedly, wiped his hands and reached out to take it, "Let me see the admission letters of the two children."
"No hurry, no hurry, let Aimin do the work first, we will take a look later." Zhao Lijuan pulled her granddaughter and grandson-in-law to the middle and handed them the admission letter.
Director Zhang of the Admissions Office of the Education Bureau took the award certificate handed over by his colleague and handed it over.
"This is your award certificate, Qin Yian, the first place, and Lu Jinghe, the second place, take it."
"There are still awards, thank you!"
Qin Yian wiped the water on his hands on his apron, and happily took the award certificate. Lu Jinghe also took his own award certificate and smiled happily, with pear curls faintly visible at the corners of his mouth.
Director Zhang looked at the two well-matched children and nodded with a smile. He turned around and took an envelope with a bonus and handed it to the two of them.
"This is the bonus given by the city. The first place is 350 yuan and the second place is 300 yuan. I hope you will study hard in college and win glory for the country. Come on, the world will be yours in the future!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe answered at the same time, and then looked down at the things in their hands at the same time, feeling very happy.
"Come, let's take a photo together, and you can take a look at it slowly after we take it!" Director Zhang waved to the reporter standing behind him, and the reporter ran over with a camera.
At this time, Qin Yian saw that there was another reporter comrade present, and the reporter comrade ran over and began to direct their positions.
"Come closer, our number one candidate stands on the right side of the director, the runner-up candidate stands on the left side, look up at us, keep smiling, good, keep it, start taking pictures, good, very good, that's enough."
The reporter took several pictures before finishing.
Director Zhang knew that the elders behind him were in a hurry to talk and see the admission notice, so he only said a few words to Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe before leaving, but it didn't delay too much. After
the outsiders left, the elders at home talked loudly and gathered around happily waiting to see the admission notice.
Qin Jiaguo wanted to see the notice just now, but now he hasn't seen it yet. He was so anxious that he urged:
"An'an, Jinghe, you two should open the notice and take a look. I'm so anxious. I really want to see what's inside."
"Wait, let's stand together and take a picture first, and then we can see it after the picture is taken." Xia Xiulan held them back, ran into the house to find a camera, found a place with good light to set it up, and turned on the camera.
"You stand in the middle, let me see."
Lu Jinghe's grandfather and grandparents got the news and ran in happily from outside. When they saw that they were taking pictures, they waved and shouted.
"Wait, there are us too."
Lu Jinghe went to meet his grandparents and showed them the award certificate in his hand.
Qin Yian went in to move chairs, and instructed his brother to move a few more so that the people in the first row could sit down and not block the people in the row behind.
"My dear relatives, come here quickly, let's sit together."
Wu Qiuyan waved over there, and pulled people to stand in the middle.
Xia Xiulan stood in front of the camera and looked at the small portrait inside and said, "Today we are mainly taking pictures of our family's top and second place winners, and you two must stand in a conspicuous position."
Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe were pushed by the elders to stand in the middle of the first row, and the seats were placed on their left and right. The others also stood in the back row of chairs, and only the two of them stood alone.
Well, now it is indeed clear at a glance that they are the protagonists of this photo.
"Get ready, get ready, we're going to take pictures, everyone straighten your clothes."
The elders all started to straighten their clothes, straighten their hair, practiced smiling, and asked if they looked good.
Qin Yian saw them like this, and he and Lu Jinghe also straightened each other's clothes.
"Okay, An'an, you two hold up your notices and certificates, don't cover them, this is the most important thing, OK, I've pressed the button, get ready, smile."
Xia Xiulan pressed the button, quickly ran to her position, stood up, looked at the camera and showed a standard smile.
When they dispersed, Qin Yian was stopped by his mother again, "You two don't leave yet, I'll take a picture of you alone."
"Yes, yes, we must give them a pat on the back. They are such a good match. They always rank first or second in the exams. Only our children can be so successful. Haha."
Qin Zhengyi laughed heartily, full of pride.
After the photo was taken, Qin Yian and Lu Jinghe sat in the middle to open the admission notice. The elders were all around them, and their eyes were all on the notice. They were all excited, without blinking.
