It was worth it that he and Zhang Yulan went to burn incense in the middle of the night before the college entrance examination. It was obvious that this ancestor was capable of handling matters.
Lu Changtian nodded and said, "Dad, I'll go right away. Mom is planting those small beans in her private plot."
After saying that, he rushed out. Lu Changzheng shook Lu Lin, "Oh my God, she really got the provincial top scorer. This is amazing. I never dreamed that she could get the provincial top scorer. This brings honor to our Lu family."
There is only one number one scholar in a dozen villages. He is even rarer than the national treasure.
Lu Lin couldn't stand it and pushed him away. He covered his chest and retched several times. He was dizzy because of him shaking. He didn't treat him as a human being!
Lu Changzheng felt a little embarrassed and said to him, "Hey, you are too excited. Let's go back and let others plow the land."
Lu Jiandang handed the work to the accountant and went back with Lu Lin first.
Along the way, he talked excitedly, his mouth almost grinning to the sky.
Those who lived nearby all knew that the Lu family had produced a top scholar. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon became known to everyone.
What he said made sense. The brigade next door also heard it a few times and they are very envious of the Qianjin Brigade for being able to produce such talents!
Whoever looked after the Lu family’s ancestral tomb, it was buried so well. Look at these young people, each one is more promising than the other.
Zhang Yulan bent over, wielding a hoe to dig the soil, and did not forget to chat with the aunt next door who was shoveling the ridge of the field.
Talking about her children, Zhang Yulan's eyes were full of pride. The aunt supported the hoe with her hands, took a breath, and said slowly: "Old Zhang, you are so good at raising children. Both of them passed the exam. I heard that after graduating from technical secondary school, they are also guaranteed to be assigned jobs in state agencies, and they can also eat commercial grain.
They will even distribute houses. How can your blue brick and tile houses in the countryside compare to the red brick houses in the city? There are many people who are eager to move into the city!"
Zhang Yulan said modestly: "Your child is still young! When he grows up, he can also pass the exam. My family is able to do that thanks to the information Xiaoyan gave me."
Speaking of Jiang Yan, she asked curiously, "How did Xiaoyan do in the exam? Did she go to Tsinghua or Peking University?"
At this time, Aunt Wang who was passing by said sarcastically: "You are so arrogant that you don't even know how to look at people. If you were to pass the exam, you would hide it. You must have failed the exam, but you are afraid of being embarrassed if you tell others about it."
Zhang Yulan retorted sarcastically: "Your daughter-in-law has run away, and you still have time to argue here? What! Your Wang family's incense will not be passed on!"
When the family scandal was mentioned in public, Aunt Wang's face was gloomy and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's none of your business. Where can she go? Her parents sold her and she would be treated as a vagrant if she went to the city. Just wait and see how I deal with her."
They thought she had behaved herself, but it turned out that she had lowered their guard and ran away with all the family savings.
This news spread throughout the brigade, and her family became a laughing stock in the brigade. Her son could not even raise his head and his face was buried in his crotch.
Aunt Wang also regretted it! Why did she find someone who was restless?
However, Jiang Yan's failure to pass the exam still made her feel a little better. If all the good things fell on Jiang Yan's shoulders, she would be furious.
Could it be that Jiang Yan was really the chosen one? This was so unfair to them.
Zhang Yulan picked up the mud and threw it at her, "Shut your stinky mouth, your descendants will never be able to pass the exam, but my Xiaoyan can also go to a key school. Look how jealous you are, your eyes are red, it's useless!"
Aunt Wang teased her again, "Why haven't you received any news about your passing the exam?"
Zhang Yulan choked up. Aunt Wang felt that her guess was almost right, and her face became more and more proud. "If she didn't pass the exam, she didn't pass it. She is still trying to be rich. She only has a decent face. Her hands can't lift anything, and her shoulders can't carry anything.
You say she makes a lot of money, but who has seen where she makes the money? Aren't you just talking nonsense? You are all covering up for her. I am ashamed for you. "
"Mom, she passed the exam. Xiaoyan became the top scorer in the province and ranked third in the country!"
These words coming from far away made the smile on her face disappear. Zhang Yulan dropped the hoe and looked at the figure approaching from afar. Who else could it be but her second son?
She asked happily, "Xiao Yan passed the exam? And she became the top scorer in the province. Oh, may our ancestors bless us. God has opened his eyes. Will they come back to celebrate the New Year?"
Lu Changtian said calmly, "Mom, they are coming back. They said they will leave in the next two days. We have to clean up the house so that they will have a clean place to live when they come back."
Zhang Yulan picked up the hoe that was thrown on the ground, patted the dust off her butt, and said to the point, "Let's go back and clean the house. I have fed a flock of chickens and ducks and will wait for them to come back. When the time comes, I will kill one a day and give her a good nourishment."
Lu Changtian followed behind her, and he answered every question she asked!
Aunt Wang was furious and tried to save her reputation, "It's fake, it must be fake. She is an educated youth who went to the countryside, how could she pass the provincial exam and become the top scholar? Who would believe it if I told anyone? It's impossible, absolutely impossible."
She muttered to herself, as if saying this would mean Jiang Yan wouldn't pass the exam.
But the villagers believed it without a doubt. It didn't matter to others, because that was Jiang Yan. She had a natural ability to convince people.
The situation at the Youth League Institute was also gloomy. Except for Xia Dongchun, all the others failed the exam.
Several female educated youth looked at her with resentment, but Xia Dongchun turned a blind eye.
She was not weak at all, and she did not live in the Youth League Home. How could these people roast her over the fire and eat her?
Her man is like a little tail, no one dares to do anything to her. Shen Chuanzong also smiles at everyone he meets. If his wife passes the exam, he can also go to the city with her.
The old couple in the family treated Xia Dongchun better than their own son, and Shen's mother kept mentioning Xia Dongchun. Why? This was her capital for showing off.
