As soon as she entered the house, she saw her whole family gather around her, asking her how she was doing.
Yu Yuehui was full of confidence for this exam, but she still said modestly, "If there are no unexpected events, I should be able to get into an agricultural university in Beijing."
"Definitely."
Xie Yan said with great certainty, after all, he had bought a house near the Beijing Agricultural College a long time ago, just waiting for his family to move in!
After thinking for a moment, he said to Yu Yuehua, "But, brother, when the admission notice arrives, remember to visit the post office frequently during that time."
In this day and age, it's not uncommon for college students to have their places taken by others, and he was really worried about it.
Yu Yuehua nodded. Even if Xie Yan hadn't said anything, he would have gone to check on her every day. "Don't worry, I know. I'll definitely go check on her more often at that time. Although I don't think my sister's admission notice will be replaced, it's better to be safe than sorry."
After the exam, everyone was like ants on a hot pan, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their acceptance letters.
Starting from the second day, people began to wander around the village entrance. Although it seemed a bit exaggerated, everyone was indeed getting restless.
Those educated youth who have remained unmarried to this day are especially anxious. Now that the weather is cold, the farm work is finished, and the cannery is temporarily not busy, they are even more idle, and their anxiety is growing stronger.
Yu Yuehui, who had been relatively calm, began to feel anxious under the influence of this atmosphere. She would look towards the village entrance from time to time, silently hoping that the admission notice would arrive soon.
In late December, the biting wind howled, but it could not dispel people's fervent anticipation for their university acceptance letters.
After much anticipation, the villagers finally received the notice that carried their hopes one by one.
Seeing others receiving their acceptance letters one after another, while hers remained nowhere to be seen, Yu Yuehui felt as if she were being scratched by a cat, growing increasingly anxious.
Completely losing confidence, I began to doubt myself.
She was visibly agitated, her usual composure completely gone. She was restless, glancing frequently toward the village entrance with anxious eyes.
Xie Yan tried her best to appease them, but it didn't have much effect.
The children knew about their mother's situation and began to speak very carefully at home.
Yu Yuehua felt sorry for her younger sister, so in order to put her mind at ease as soon as possible, she went to the post office three times a day without fail, clocking in at the post office at the same time every morning, noon and evening.
The postman at the post office was familiar with Yu Yuehua and knew that he was Yu Yuehui's older brother. During this time, Yu Yuehua went to the post office every day, eagerly awaiting his sister's college admission notice.
So, as soon as the postman received Yu Yuehua's admission notice today, he delivered it to Yu Yuehua without saying a word.
On January 3rd, the midday sun was warm, making people feel all over, as if their bones were softening.
In the corner of the wall, several elderly people were basking in the sun. As they basked, they closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep. It was clear that they were sleeping soundly, their faces showing a sense of tranquility.
The children, who had been laughing and playing, gradually lost their energy in the warm atmosphere. As they basked in the sun, they unconsciously snuggled up to the adults, their eyelids growing heavier and heavier, their little heads nodding off, until finally they simply clung to the adults and fell into a deep sleep, their rosy little faces still bearing the lingering smiles.
The adults were also infected by the languid atmosphere, and drowsiness washed over them like a tide, making them want to sleep. They gently patted the sleeping children in their arms and walked steadily and slowly toward home, their steps unhurried, as if time itself had slowed down at that moment.
However, amidst this tranquil scene, Yu Yuehua stood out as exceptionally different.
His hurried steps and anxious expression contrasted sharply with the languid atmosphere around him. He strode briskly along the village road, as if a fire were burning in his heart, rushing towards home, the dust he kicked up lingering behind him.
As if telepathically connected, Yu Yuehui turned around immediately upon hearing the familiar footsteps, looking at Yu Yuehua with surprise and delight. Her "Big Brother~" was filled with anticipation and trepidation. No further words were needed; Yu Yuehua understood immediately. With a smile, he carefully took the admission notice out of his bag.
Yu Yue looked at the admission notice in her older brother's hand. For a moment, she was so excited that she didn't dare to go forward to check it. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Her hands trembled as if the thin piece of paper weighed a ton. Before she even opened it, tears of excitement blurred her vision.
She took a deep breath, her fingers trembling as she slowly opened the admission notice. When she saw the six characters "Beijing Agricultural University" written on it, she could no longer contain her excitement and burst into tears and laughter.
Hearing the commotion outside, Xie Yan came out and saw his wife holding her acceptance letter, laughing and crying at the same time. He quickly rushed over, gently hugged her, and patted her back softly, his voice full of relief: "Honey, you got in! See? I told you you could do it!"
Before Xie Yan could even pick up the notice and examine it closely, Yu Yuehua snatched it away.
Looking at the admission notice in his hand, his eyes shone with excitement. He gently stroked the words on it, his eyes filled with undisguised pride, and exclaimed, "Our family has a college student now!"
When I got home, I told my dad that I would secretly tell our ancestors the good news that night so they could be happy too.
Having heard some rumors, Qian Hong and Yu Shan rushed over.
Seeing this, Qian Hong hesitated and asked cautiously, "What is this?"
Yu Yuehua turned around, her voice trembling with excitement, and exclaimed to Qian Hong, "Mother, my little sister passed the exam!"
The shout came like a thunderclap, leaving Qian Hong stunned and speechless.
Yu Shan shoved Qian Hong, who was standing there dumbfounded, aside and said excitedly, "It's true! Bring it here so I can see."
Qian Hong stumbled from the push before regaining her senses. She moved even faster, snatching the admission notice from Yu Yuehua. Looking at the paper in front of her, she rubbed her fingers vigorously on her body, as if afraid that the stains on her hands would soil the sacred notice. Only then did she carefully take the admission notice from Yu Yuehua's hand.
Looking at those big characters, even though I didn't recognize them, I was inexplicably moved. My eyes instantly welled up with tears, and they streamed down my face uncontrollably.
She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said with a smile, "Look at me, I'm so happy about this amazing thing that I've lost my composure."
