After New Year's Day, the atmosphere in the Hebian Village production team became increasingly anxious.
Even in the middle of winter, no one is afraid of the cold. Everyone likes to sit in the square next to the river dam at the entrance of the village and hold "symposiums".
"What are these people doing? Aren't they afraid of the cold?" One day after coming back from school, Wang Baojia passed by there and asked in confusion after reaching the valley.
"They are waiting for the postman," said Wang Xingwu.
"Why are you waiting for the postman?"
“…”What are you talking about?
Wang Xingwu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
Wang Zhaozhao could understand those people's feelings. If she were in their shoes, she would also stretch her neck and wait every day.
So, knowing that the postman only comes twice a week does not affect people's expectations.
A few days passed in a flash. One day, the sun came out brightly and everyone went to the village entrance to bask in the sun.
Finally, a car bell sounded in the distance, and many people were startled.
The postman is here!
"Isn't today the day when the postman comes to the village?" Someone asked in confusion, seeing a man in green work clothes riding a bicycle into the village.
In a word, success makes people who are already excited even more excited.
But they also kept their composure and did not rush forward. Instead, they stared at the postman with fiery faces, secretly hoping to hear him call out their names.
Xie Ailian and Qiao Li were there too. It was a rare good day, so Xie Ailian accompanied Qiao Li out for a walk.
Because of the snow and melting snow, Qiao Li hasn't gone out for several days.
"I wonder who it is?" Xie Ailian's heart was also very excited, the kind of excitement that comes from watching a good show and enjoying the excitement.
The postman was not at all nervous despite being stared at by so many pairs of passionate eyes. It was just that he had gotten used to this treatment no matter which village he went to recently.
He got out of the car, put down his footrests, lowered his head and took out a stack of letters from the large canvas bag he was carrying across his shoulder.
When everyone saw this, their eyes became even more fiery.
More than one letter!
Before coming out, the postman will sort out the letters from each village and the information that needs to be brought - remittance slips and packages, and only tell the parties involved that they need to go to the post office to pick them up themselves.
Sure enough, he quickly flipped through the first few letters in the stack and started calling out names.
"Chu Hesheng, Zhao Yinan, Liu Lili, Wang Zhaozhao..."
He read out four names in a row, "The first three need to be signed in person. If you're not here, could any of you please call someone for me..."
"Wait a moment!"
The postman was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Comrade, the last name you just said was Wang Zhaozhao? Did I hear it correctly?" the man asked.
"Yes." The postman nodded, then lowered his head to confirm, "It's Wang Zhaozhao."
“…”
Well.
The people in the front row fell silent, and then the silence spread like the wind.
The excited educated youth and the postman were completely bewildered. What was going on? What was wrong with this Wang Zhaozhao?
Because she was worried that Qiao Li's stomach would be squeezed, Xie Ailian, who was accompanying her at the outermost edge, didn't think much about it when she heard "Wang Zhaozhao" and was surprised why everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Dahai family, your girl Zhao also has a letter!" Xie Xiaofeng, who was squeezed in the forefront of eating melons, stood on tiptoe, waved and shouted at Xie Ailian.
"What?" Xie Ailian still didn't react.
Shi Haiyan, who was sitting in the front row, said to the postman, "Comrade, I'm Wang Zhaozhao's third aunt. Just give me her letter..."
"No!" Xie Ailian roared like a lion.
She was still a little confused, but Shi Haiyan wanted to take Wang Zhaozhao's letter, which was not possible!
The others were very considerate and made way for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Comrade, is there really a letter from Wang Zhaozhao? She went to school, and I am her grandmother..." Xie Ailian said to the postman as soon as she came up.
The postman hesitated, and Xie Xiaofeng quickly said, "Comrade, you just said that the first three people must come in person to pick up their packages, right? Then Wang Zhaozhao doesn't need to come in person to pick up his package. These are Wang Zhaozhao's grandmother and fourth aunt."
Comrade, let me tell you, Wang Zhaozhao doesn't live with her parents, but with her grandparents and fourth uncle. If your family can help take her in, then you can't give her to her parents, you can only give her to her grandparents..."
Hearing this, the postman's mouth twitched. This was an unnecessary explanation.
He didn't ask a single question, but the mother-in-law was about to explain everything to her ancestors.
This made him feel at ease when handing the letter to Xie Ailian.
I was present for the other three letters and signed for them directly.
As soon as the postman left, everyone started to make a fuss and asked Xie Ailian what the letter was. Xie Ailian didn't know anything, so everyone made all kinds of guesses.
"It can't be an acceptance letter, right?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you have to pick up the acceptance letter in person?"
“Also, the sizes are different.”
"It's normal for the sizes to be different, right? The three letters we have are also different in size."
"No! Isn't Wang Zhaozhao in elementary school? She's preparing for college entrance exams. What are you thinking?"
“…”
Everyone had different opinions, and finally someone said, "Just open it and you'll know."
Well.
this……
Some people hesitated, some agreed, and some thought it was not good.
Qiao Li quietly pulled Xie Ailian and said, "Mom, let's go back first. When Zhao Zhao comes back, she'll know what the letter is after she opens it."
Xie Ailian, who was a little tempted by the teasing, thought, that's right! Anyway, we'll know when that girl comes back.
"Old sister-in-law, please don't. Miss Zhao will tear it down when she comes back anyway. Why don't you tear it down now and take a look first..."
"It's something you can find out by just waiting a little longer. There's no need to open it here. Letters are very personal things and it's inappropriate to open them privately. My mother is the most reasonable and conscious. Auntie, you're not making things difficult for her by doing this." Qiao Li interrupted the old woman and said.
Her words were a bit harsh, and the old woman's face suddenly fell, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Li changed.
Xie Ailian would definitely protect Qiao Li, so she turned her face and said, "Alright, alright, this is a letter from Zhao girl, she must be the one to open it. I'm afraid that the third sister will open it randomly, so I won't let her accept it on my behalf."
Having said that, he took Qiao Li away.
Shi Haiyan, who was pulled and stepped on, said: “……!”
What hatred and grudge?
She hadn't thought about it that much at the time, had she? But it was true that if she had taken it, she might have torn it open.
Gradually, everyone dispersed.
The three people who received the admission letters were naturally overjoyed, while those who didn't were filled with envy or jealousy.
We chatted all the way back to the educated youth site, but I still felt something was wrong.
Such a big thing as getting into university was actually overshadowed by Wang Zhaozhao.
Everyone in the village was curious. Could the letter also contain an admission letter?
So, around 3:30 in the afternoon, many people came to the village entrance to bask in the sun.
After returning from school, Wang Zhaozhao and his friends saw the magnificent scene at the village entrance from afar and said, “…!”
What should I do? This way home from school is getting harder and harder to walk.
