Niu Cuihua's face froze, but she quickly adjusted her expression.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. It was just now that Xiao De said some leader was coming, so I came out to check it out. I thought he was lying, but he turned out to be telling the truth!"
"This kid, even though the leader really came, he didn't even bother to explain and let me misunderstand him!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua glared at Li Mingde fiercely. Her eyes were like knives, and Li Mingde felt his whole body tremble.
However, despite being scared, he kept explaining.
"You can't blame me for that. I kept telling you, but you just didn't believe me!"
Niu Cuihua heard Li Mingde mumbling softly and glared at him, "What did you say?"
Seeing that her grandmother was about to get angry again, Li Mingxi quickly stepped forward to help.
"Grandma, isn't the leader here? Logically, shouldn't we invite him in for a glass of water? Isn't it nice for you to keep ignoring the leader like this?"
After Li Mingxi's reminder, Niu Cuihua also reacted.
There is no time when we shouldn’t teach our children a lesson. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. Right now, it is more important to receive the leaders.
Thinking this in her mind, she stepped forward and began to greet the leaders from the commune.
She first praised her leader and then spoke out her doubts.
Seeing her ask this, the leader just laughed.
"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to you. If your family hadn't nurtured a talent like Li Mingxi, I wouldn't have known that our commune even had such a pillar. Look, we're here on behalf of the commune to express our condolences to your family!"
It was the first time that Niu Cuihua was praised like this by her leader. Her face turned red and she kept waving her hands.
"No, no, sir, you are joking!"
"Oh, no, don't be so modest, sister-in-law. You probably don't know that Li Mingxi's performance this time is not only the best in the county, but also one that can be ranked high in the provincial capital!"
When Niu Cuihua heard the news, her mouth opened in shock. She only knew that her granddaughter was smart and good at studying, but she never thought that someone could be so smart!
Even the onlookers were shocked.
"Wow, everyone used to say that Xiaoxi was smart and had good grades, but no one thought that she would be able to get a place in the entire province!"
"That's right, that's right. You said they are all girls. Our eldest girl was born in the same year as Xiaoxi. Why don't people have that kind of brains?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused contempt from the people around them.
"Come on, what are you thinking about? Your girl is so stupid that she can't do anything even with three sticks. She's so stupid that she wants to compete with Xiaoxi. What are you thinking about? I think you should stop daydreaming!"
Listening to the discussions of people around him, the leaders of the commune were also very proud.
Then he dropped another explosive piece of news.
"I'm just here to express my condolences on behalf of the commune. I expect people from the county will be here in a few days. As for the provincial capital, I heard there are already reporters heading there!"
As he spoke, he took out a certificate and two Great Unity certificates from the briefcase he was carrying.
"This is a reward from the commune. We hope that after you go to university, you will study hard and have the opportunity to return to lead the development of your hometown in the future!"
As he spoke, he handed it to Li Mingxi.
Li Mingxi could accept the certificate, but she felt embarrassed to accept the two big unity cards. After all, her family was not short of money. Besides, college students at that time all received subsidies, so she really didn't need the twenty yuan.
As a result, the commune leader saw that Li Mingxi kept making excuses and spoke directly.
"Little girl, this money is a reward given to you by a unanimous decision of all the leaders of the commune after a meeting!"
Li Mingxi naturally understood that this was a reward, but she really didn't need the money.
Niu Cuihua, who was standing by, noticed her granddaughter's embarrassment and spoke directly.
"Okay, Xiaoxi, since this is a reward from the commune leader, just take it. When you've learned enough, you can come back and lead the development of our commune!"
"That's right, that's right, little girl. If you really feel bad about it, remember to repay your hometown in the future!"
In the end, after repeated persuasion from everyone, Li Mingxi had no choice but to accept the money.
In the next few days, people from the county, city, and provincial capital came to see Li Mingxi one after another, and all of them awarded her scholarships!
Finally, Li Mingxi roughly calculated that she had more than 200 yuan in bonuses, which was enough to cover her tuition for four years of college!
However, the people who were most shocked by this incident were the villagers, especially those who favored boys over girls.
Back then, when Niu Cuihua sent Li Mingxi to school, everyone laughed at her behind her back, especially after Li Mingxi graduated from high school. Not only did she stay in the city, she also returned to her hometown and didn't even get a job as a primary school teacher.
Everyone laughed at Niu Cuihua behind her back, thinking she was crazy for doting on a little girl like that.
Who would have thought that after the college entrance examination was resumed, he would directly become the top scorer in the county. This is better than many other boys!
In addition, many leaders have come to give money to their family in the past few days, and the total amount is more than two hundred!
Now, no one said Niu Cuihua was a fool anymore, but instead felt that they were the fool!
These days, how many families can't even come up with fifty yuan? As a result, this little girl took the college entrance examination and earned more than two hundred yuan.
I heard that when she goes to college, she will become a cadre after graduation!
Why are other people’s children so smart even though they are the same people? It must be because they go to school while my children don’t!
For a time, the entire Dongfeng Brigade was swept up in a wave of going to school.
Li Mingxi didn't expect that he would affect the entire team, but this was a good influence.
Later, precisely because the villagers had this awareness, their Dongfeng Brigade became the richest village in the surrounding area.
As time went by, the admission letters for the two Li Mingyi brothers came one after another, and even the always stupid Wumao was admitted to a junior college.
Erni and Simao, who work in the city, were both admitted to junior colleges. The fact that a whole family consists of college students caused much more sensation than Li Mingxi’s admission to Peking University!
You know, Li Mingxi was able to be admitted to Peking University, which shows that she is smart. Now, even the children in the family have been admitted as long as they took the exam. That is really amazing!
Especially Wumao, everyone in the team knew that this kid was not smart, but he still passed the exam. All this only proves one thing, the place where Lao Li lives has good feng shui!
The members who thought they had found the correct answer went to the team leader and wanted to build a house near Li Mingxi's home.
When Li Mingxi learned the news, he touched his nose in embarrassment.
