Lu Jianguo smiled from ear to ear, "Why would I lie to you? There's no money to be made. The governor and the mayor are here, and the editor-in-chief even did an interview with her. Wait for the newspaper to be published, and you can also see it on TV.
We have packed up and will board the train in two days. Please clean up the room your mother and I live in. The rats must have given birth to several litters of babies there, right?
Also, inform those relatives that we will hold a top scholar banquet before the New Year. Even if you don’t come, you still need gifts. I haven’t even recouped the money I’ve given away over the years!”
You want to pretend? No way. There are many promising people in his family. Just give him the money in his pocket.
Lu Lin's eyes were smiling like the coastline, "Dad, don't worry, I have notified all the distant relatives and neighbors. Our ancestors are really amazing. I will go to the countryside to tell my second uncle and make them happy. They haven't heard from you for a long time. They are so anxious that their lips are blistered. By the way, Changzheng Changtian also passed the entrance exam. He just passed the admission score line of the technical secondary school. They can only choose local students. Second Aunt even killed a chicken for them to celebrate!"
Lu Jianguo had finished showing off, and it was his turn.
After hanging up the phone, before he rushed out of the post office, he was stopped by those gossiping sisters-in-law, who asked him curiously, "Did your son pass the imperial examination? Oh, God is watching over me, and my ancestors are so powerful. I burned so much paper money and incense, but they didn't necessarily bless my children to go to a technical secondary school."
Speaking of Jiang Yan, Lu Lin said proudly: "She is my sister-in-law, and she ranks third in the country. My dad said that the provincial and municipal governments gave her several thousand yuan in total, and it was even reported in the newspaper."
Others were extremely envious. You know, when one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit. Jiang Yan became a high-ranking official, so how could he not leave his family behind? Good days were in store.
Lu Lin was also a generous person. He took out a handful of hard fruit candies from his military green shoulder bag and distributed them to the people around him.
"Everyone, come and share in the good times. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ran out. Before he reached the flour mill compound, at the entrance of the alley, several kids were skipping rubber ropes, and some were playing cards and marbles, their faces were already red.
You scold me, I scold you, and both of us feel that the other party is trying to cheat us. Some old ladies who are not afraid of the cold are rubbing their hands, breathing out white air, and staring at their own children, fearing that they may be kidnapped.
As the year draws to a close, the beggars are being kidnapped. Several families in the countryside have been abducted, so they have become more vigilant.
Who has only one or two children like this? If they are sold out, it will be a devastating blow to the family.
Seeing Lu Lin running for his life, the old sisters-in-law surrounded him and said, "Little Lu, why are you running? There's a dog chasing you!"
"Take a break, don't choke on your breath. Auntie heard that you were admitted to a technical secondary school. Congratulations. When will you hold the wedding? Let's come and share in the good luck."
"By the way, how did your sister-in-law do in the exam?"
Jiang Yan is the focus of everyone's attention. With her high cultural level, she must have done better in the exam!
It is said that all the review materials for the family were provided by him. The Lu family, a family of peasants, has made great success!
Lu Lin's face flushed with excitement. He said loudly, "Aunt, they passed the exam. My sister-in-law ranked third in the country and first on the island. My parents were so happy that they couldn't sleep for several nights."
These people have never seen the world, and being able to get into university is a great achievement for them.
This is the third in the country and the first on the island. What does that mean?
There are still some who know the answer and point out the theme, "Your family has produced a top scholar, third in the country. Ouch, pinch my philtrum quickly, I feel dizzy."
"Don't talk about your mother. I'm happy for her after hearing this. This girl is so promising. Go to the countryside and tell your second uncle."
Lu Li clapped his hands and said, "Aunt, let's not talk about it for now. I'm going back to the house!"
He ran upstairs without touching the ground. He Miao was cooking. Seeing him in a hurry, he looked helpless. "You are so old, but you are not as mature and steady as your son. What good thing has happened to you? You are smiling so hard that your teeth are showing. Xiaoyan was admitted to a key university? Are your parents coming back for the New Year?"
Seeing that he couldn't even fart after being beaten with three sticks, He Miao also got angry, "I'm asking you, are you dumb? You think that you are in the immortal class just because you passed the technical secondary school. You have to do the housework too. I have to go to work and take care of the kids. I'm too busy to handle it."
Lu Lin excitedly took her hand and laughed heartily: "She passed the exam and did very well. You are the well-deserved No. 1 in the province and No. 3 in the country."
He Miao was so shocked when he heard this, "You...what did you say? Who got the provincial top scorer?"
She scratched her ears just like Lu Lin, fearing that she had misheard. My goodness, her family actually had a provincial top scholar?
If this gets out, people in the surrounding area will look up to her family. Jiang Yan is a top scholar.
Lu Lin affirmed: "You heard it right, Xiaoyan got the top score."
He Miao also jumped up happily and slapped Lu Lin on the shoulder, "God, Bodhisattva, Xiaoyan is amazing, go to the countryside and tell your uncle and aunt, I will go and pick the baby up.
I'll buy you two roast chickens, two kilograms of white wine, and fry you a plate of peanuts. I'll let you drink to your heart's content today."
When Lu Lin heard this, he drooled. Life was getting better these days.
I used to be as busy as an ox and never had a chance to rest. It was good enough for me to have enough food and clothes. How could I have a drink or some roast chicken with peanuts?
The corners of his mouth rose, "I'll be there right away, wife, remember to buy me some food."
We used to be afraid of being poor, but now that we have enough money, we can go out to eat with our family without hesitation. We can’t let anyone down, but we can never let our stomachs down.
He Miao said disdainfully, as if chasing away a fly: "Go away, how can you forget about this? You said I was unreliable."
Lu Lin left happily, and He Miao patted his thigh with a sincere smile on his face.
"That's great! Everyone has passed the exam. Life will be more enjoyable from now on."
Her husband is the eldest son in the family. Now that his two elder parents are still able to move, they do not need him to take care of them in their old age. He just takes care of the three younger ones in the family and does not feel much pressure.
This was something she would never have dared to think of before. She couldn't help but hum, "Today is a good day. Everything I wish for can come true..."
As soon as he went out, he met Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was holding a basin. When she saw He Miao, she greeted him warmly, "Xiao He, go out and pick up the baby."
Huh? Didn't Lu Lin just come back? He hasn't even sat down yet! Why did he go out again?
Are your parents coming to celebrate the New Year this year? You look so happy, what good news makes you so happy? "
He Miao grinned and said, "I'm coming back. I'll be here in about ten days. The college entrance examination is over. I feel relieved and relieved. I have good news for you. My sister-in-law got the top score and ranked third in the country. Do you think I'm happy?"
Aunt Liu's face, which was as wrinkled as the bark of an old tree, was filled with surprise. "Xiao Yan passed the exam. Oh, this is a great joy. Go buy some firecrackers and set them off."
I said this girl has a promising future. When your parents come back to give her a bar, let them know when they want to help. We can come and join in the fun."
