Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Part 2
Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan both quit their jobs. After being busy for several years, the father and daughter finally had some rare leisure time.
Fu Mingze was in a similar situation. He had handed over some of his work right after he finished his exams. Winter was also the slack season for farmers, so he had nothing to do.
But he couldn't quit his job early like the wayward father and daughter. He was an educated youth sent to work in the countryside, and if he quit his job, he would go back to the production team to work.
Chen Moer later paid to buy out the house in the family compound of the commune, so the house would not be taken back. The family spent a leisurely time in the family compound for a while, and considering that Fu Mingze had to go back to Yangliu Brigade every day to check on the experimental fields, the whole family simply moved back to Yangliu Brigade.
The villagers really couldn't understand why the father and daughter had quit their jobs before Shen Moli received the admission letter.
Especially when seeing the whole family moving back to Yangliu Brigade with lots of luggage, those who used to be envious and jealous in secret and didn't dare to jump around too much, now have become bolder and are gossiping about them behind their backs.
Some say that they have been too successful in recent years and have become complacent. Now, look what happened. They have lost their jobs and have been kicked out of the commune’s staff quarters.
Some said that Shen Moli dared to resign without receiving the admission letter, and then failed to get into university and lost her job, which would be a waste of effort.
Of course, most people think this is nonsense. Even if Shen Moli didn't get into college, how could she, a former factory manager, do worse than you, a farmer?
Especially Aunt Chen and Aunt Cai, they blindly believed in Shen Moli, thinking that since Shen Moli was so sure that she could pass the exam, she would definitely pass it.
It would be great to take a break. Everyone can stay in the village, bask in the sun and chat. If nothing happens, we can go to the back mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms.
On such a leisurely day, the first admission notice of Yangliu Brigade arrived.
When the postman delivered the notice, not only was the entrance to the brigade office filled with people sitting in the sun and chatting, but people in the village who had heard the news also came running over. The entrance to the brigade office was packed with people inside and outside.
This is the first admission letter received by their Yangliu Brigade!
"Cheng Tao, Cheng Tao himself, come over here and sign!" the postman shouted with a smile.
Cheng Tao squeezed in from the crowd, barely catching his breath after running all the way here: "It's me, it's me."
"Congratulations, you've been admitted to the Normal University in our provincial capital." The postman handed him the pen.
Cheng Tao's hand holding the pen was shaking a little. He calmed himself down and tried hard to sign his crooked name. Then he opened the envelope and looked at the notice carefully.
"Oh, this is the college acceptance letter?"
Some people crowded over, and some curiously reached out to take it. Zhou Mancang at the side immediately stopped them: "Just look at it, don't touch it. What if it gets broken? Principal Cheng, keep it well and don't let them touch it."
"How can it be so precious? Can it be damaged by looking at it?"
The person who squeezed in was Tian Fang, followed closely by Shen Lingling holding a child. The five or six-year-old boy clung to his mother's arms, holding Shen Lingling's hair tightly. Shen Lingling frowned in pain, but did not let the child let go, obviously she was used to it.
"Is there only one letter? Are there any other letters?" Shen Lingling frowned, looking a little annoyed. "Is there no admission letter from Zhang Junliang?"
The postman said there was only one notice, and it was from Cheng Tao.
Tian Fang questioned, "How is this possible? My son-in-law is a skilled worker in a textile factory. He has excellent grades and will pass the exams easily. Cheng Tao was able to get into a university in the provincial capital, so my son-in-law must at least be admitted to a university in the capital. Could it be that you were careless and lost the admission letter for my son-in-law?"
Postman: “…”
This is simply a trumped-up charge.
"No, Cheng Tao is the only one with the notice. Also, it is impossible for us to lose anyone's notice. We have to register all deliveries, and the recipient must sign in person when receiving them. There is no possibility of losing it."
Tian Fang curled her lips: "Who can say for sure?"
The postman thought the man was being unreasonable, and he was not one to swallow his anger, so he couldn't help but say, "If you didn't receive the admission letter, it could be because the school is far away and it hasn't been delivered yet. Of course, it could also be that you didn't get into the university."
Tian Fang immediately got angry: "No, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by 'failed to get into university'? Are you cursing my son-in-law? How could my son-in-law fail to get in? You are talking nonsense. If my son-in-law doesn't receive the admission letter, it must be your fault!"
Postman: “…”
If you can't beat him, why not hide from him? This old woman is obviously not a good person. The postman decisively decided not to waste any more words with her. He pushed his bicycle out and rode away on the village road.
"Bah, look at this guilty person."
Tian Fang spat.
The people around her looked at her in bewilderment.
Tian Fang has really changed a lot over the years. Looking back a few years ago, she pretended to be so gentle and virtuous. But in recent years, her true nature has slowly been exposed, and she has become vulgar, selfish and vicious.
At the beginning, there were many gentlemen in the village who admired her as a virtuous wife, and they all thought that Shen Yongjun was lucky to marry her. However, no one has said so in recent years.
The mother and daughter came and left in a hurry.
The same drama was repeated two days later. This time, the person who passed the exam was a high school graduate in the village, Aunt Wang's eldest granddaughter.
Tian Fang and Shen Lingling came again and insisted that the postman had lost Zhang Junliang's notice. The postman was so scared that he simply asked Zhang Junliang to go to the post office to check it himself. He also asked: "Zhang Junliang, Zhang Junliang, where is this Zhang Junliang?!"
Tian Fang and Shen Lingling finally calmed down.
Because Zhang Junliang hasn't been to Yangliu Brigade for several weeks.
The happy day of receiving the acceptance letter was ruined by the mother and daughter.
Aunt Wang was not as good-tempered as Cheng Tao, and she got mad on the spot: "Are you mentally ill? If you are, go get treatment as soon as possible. Why are you acting crazy here?! Not to mention that Zhang Junliang may not be able to get into university. Even if he can, what does it have to do with you? You can't even hit him with a gun, and you still expect him to remember you when he becomes successful? You are such a filthy and shameful scum, and only you shallow-skinned people think he is a good person, bah!"
Neither Shen Lingling nor Tian Fang were good at quarreling. They were simply overwhelmed by Aunt Wang's momentum and ran away in shame.
No new notifications were received afterwards.
Even Aunt Chen and the others who blindly believed in Shen Moli began to feel worried. Could it be that she really didn't pass the exam?
The Shen family, however, was not in a hurry at all. As the weather was getting colder, they seldom went out and stayed in the small yard all day long, some drawing, some making clothes, and some playing with their children.
Until the students had their winter vacation, Zhou Zhaodi and Chen Yu had returned to the Yangliu Brigade. Xiao Liangliang saw more people every day, but there was still no news.
"Master, what will you do if I really fail to get into university?" Even Zhou Zhaodi began to worry.
In her mind, her master is omnipotent, but that is an exam taken by millions of people, and their teacher also said that getting good scores does not mean you can go to college. Some people will still be in trouble even if they pass the exam but do not fill in their application forms correctly.
Shen Moer thought about it seriously and said, “If I really don’t pass the exam, I’m also going to go to the capital. The policies outside are different now. I’ll go to the capital to take a look. Maybe I can do something else.”
She touched Zhou Zhaodi's head and said with a smile: "Remember to pass the exam and come to the capital. Then you can live in Master's house."
Policies are gradually being relaxed, and her family's treasure trove will have a place to be put to good use. When the time comes, she will do as Liu Yinshuang said and buy a few more houses to become a landlady.
Then see what else you can do.
People probably really can't help but talk about it. As soon as Shen Moer thought of Liu Yinshuang, she felt as if she heard Liu Yinshuang's voice. She listened carefully and it was true.
Liu Yinshuang turned the brakes and threw the bicycle outside the gate, running inside and shouting: "Director Shen, the admission letters have arrived. Yours and Fu Zhiqing's have arrived. They have been sent to the commune's family compound. You have to go back and sign before you can receive them--"
"Ahhh, did my master pass the exam? My master was admitted to university?!" Zhou Zhaodi jumped up, skipping and laughing.
Shen Moer also stood up and asked with a smile: "What about you, Liu Yinshuang, did you pass the exam?"
Liu Yinshuang's cheeks were red, and she didn't know whether it was because of the wind or excitement. She nodded vigorously: "I passed the exam, I passed the exam, I passed the exam, I passed the Capital University of Foreign Languages!"
Zhou Zhaodi was simply a perfect supporting actor: "Ahhh, Sister Yinshuang you are awesome, you also got into a school in the capital?!"
Liu Yinshuang put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and said proudly: "That's it!"
Soon she added: "But your master and his friends are still the best. They are from Capital University, and they were admitted to Capital University!!!"
"Look at the two of them, they're not surprised at all, not excited at all, are they still human?!"
In fact, she was a little excited, but because she kept hearing them screaming, she became less excited: "..."
Fu Mingze, who was holding the crying little kid who was half asleep and trying hard to comfort him, said: "..."
Compared to my daughter who refused to sleep well, there was really nothing to be excited about about getting into university.
