A few days later, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently.
Suddenly, a deafening sound of gongs and drums broke the original tranquility of the village, followed by the crackling sound of firecrackers resounding through the sky, and the whole village was enveloped in this lively atmosphere.
It turned out that someone had come from the commune, and this time it was the county governor and other important leaders who came.
The purpose of their visit was to award scholarships to the educated youth in the village who were admitted to university and other people.
The commune leader was filled with joy and couldn't stop smiling, because in this small Hanshan Village under his jurisdiction, two local talents were admitted to university!
What’s even more surprising is that these two people ranked first and third respectively in the county!
And what a coincidence, they are a loving couple. They are truly a match made in heaven!
Jiang Wangmo did not dare to delay and hurriedly arranged for these distinguished leaders to be properly accommodated. He also quickly sent people to invite the educated youth on the list, and of course Jiang Laosan and his wife to come along.
After a period of communication and waiting, those who passed the exam began to arrive at the scene one after another.
Su Miantang walked slowly towards them holding Jiang Yang's arm. Jiang Yang happened to be on vacation today. They were originally planning to go to Su's house to visit their parents. However, just as they were about to step out of the house, they suddenly heard someone calling their names loudly, telling them that there was a scholarship available.
Adhering to the simple idea of "it's better to take advantage of a good deal than not", the two of them changed their itinerary without hesitation and came here first to receive the scholarship.
When the county leaders saw Su Miantang and Jiang Yang, their eyes lit up.
I secretly sighed in my heart: It’s really good!
Look at our Qingxi Town, it is indeed a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and it is full of talented people!
After some introductions and compliments, the county leaders awarded scholarships to several college students on the list in order.
Encourage them to study hard in the future and contribute to the motherland after graduation.
When you drink water, remember the person who dug the well. They do this so that in the future, one or two of these college students will remember Qingxi Town and the village they went to, and when they have the ability in the future, they can contribute their little bit to build this place.
Of course, for this local couple of college students, the final award scholarship is even more generous!
From the outside, it looks like any other scholarship envelope, but inside...
The county leader patted the couple on the shoulders earnestly, and all his words turned into:
"Study hard, be good."
Compared to the previous instructions and polite words given to others, this is the attitude of a family member.
"Thank you, leaders. We will study hard and give back to our hometown when we have the ability!"
Jiang Yang solemnly promised that he is a member of Hanshan Village and his ancestors have taken root here for generations.
He and his wife will go out, see a wider world, and have a brighter and more brilliant future.
No matter how wonderful the outside world is, his roots are here. When his hometown needs him, he will do his best!
Su Miantang smiled faintly and said nothing. She understood her husband's thoughts.
I will also support him silently!
......
More than half a month later——
The admission letter from B University in B City was delivered to the Jiang family.
Su Miantang was admitted to the Foreign Languages and Literature major of B University, and Jiang Yang was admitted to the Finance major of B University!
Song Yule couldn't stop smiling. Although she knew her best friend's ability and knew her son would have a bright future, she couldn't help crying with joy when she saw the admission letter.
At noon when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the couple from the first and second wives, enduring a hard day of setting up stalls in the scorching summer heat, and slowly return home dragging their tired bodies.
As soon as they stepped into the house, they keenly noticed that there was something strange about their mother.
Their mother's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just been crying. This sudden situation made the two brothers extremely anxious, and they hurried forward to ask what was going on.
"Mom, who is so bold as to bully you? Tell your son now, and I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Jiang An asked anxiously, his face full of concern and anger.
Jiang Lai was not to be outdone and quickly echoed:
"Yes, mother! Please don't hide it from us. If anyone dares to offend you, we will avenge you even if it costs us our lives!"
The daughters-in-law standing by were equally anxious and expressed their support for their mother-in-law.
Lin Fangfang said, "Mom, my elder brother and his wife are right. No matter who bullies you, we must not let him off easily!"
Qian Duoduo held her mother-in-law's hand tightly and comforted her softly:
"Mom, don't be sad. If you have any grievances, just tell us..."
However, facing the concerns and questions from her sons and daughters-in-law, Song Yue just shook her head gently and comforted everyone with a smile:
"Children, stop guessing. No one is bullying me. I'm crying because I just saw the acceptance letters from my third son's wife and my third son to University B. I was so happy that I couldn't help crying."
After hearing these words, the four people who were originally worried and full of wild thoughts were instantly dumbfounded.
So that's how it is. No wonder my mother was so excited.
But then, shocking news exploded in their ears like thunder—
My third brother and his wife were admitted to University B at the same time!
This good news was so unexpected that everyone present was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, everyone came back to their senses as if waking from a dream, and ecstatic smiles appeared on their faces.
"Oh my, that's great! My third brother and his wife are so amazing. They were able to get into such a great university!"
Sule clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling with pride.
Jiang An was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and praised repeatedly:
"That's right! Now our family has two college graduates. We will have a bright future!"
At this time, Su Miantang, who had been busy in the kitchen, came out with a plate of carefully cut watermelon.
She smiled and asked her brothers and sisters-in-law to sit down and rest, and handed the plate of sweet and delicious watermelon in her hand to everyone.
"Come on, brothers and sisters-in-law, you must be very hot after being busy outside for a long time. Come and try the watermelon I just cut to cool down the summer heat~"
"Third sister-in-law, you and the third brother have really made our Jiang family proud!"
Jiang An's tone was full of pride. If his father knew about this, he would definitely be happy for his third brother and his wife!
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law, you don't know. Now when we go out to set up a stall, many people ask if we have two college students in our family. I said yes, and they all rushed to buy the things on our stall, leaving the people at other stalls dumbfounded!"
Jiang Lai reached out and took two slices of watermelon, first giving them to his mother, then to his wife, and then taking some for himself.
Facing the praise from her family, Su Miantang smiled modestly. Next, she and Ayang had something to discuss with everyone...
