Not to mention the three children in the family, who enjoyed unprecedented preferential treatment. As the eldest child in the family, Chaochao was already used to this change in the villagers' attitude.
But Yangyang and Tangtang are different, especially Yangyang, who used to be disliked by the villagers because of his naughtiness.
Now his attitude has indeed changed drastically. As soon as he goes out, he hears his uncle, who used to scold him for being naughty, now smiling broadly and speaking in a tone so affectionate that it's as if he's a completely different person: "Yuehui is really capable. Look at how well these children have been educated. In the whole village, you can't find any children more sensible than these siblings."
As he spoke, the uncle noticed Yangyang's gaze and his smile grew even brighter. He quickly added, "Look at our Yangyang, how handsome he is! No wonder he's the son of a college student. You won't find a more handsome boy in the whole village."
Hearing these praises, Yangyang's little heart was touched.
For the first time, he clearly realized that these sudden praises were all because his mother had been admitted to university and her status had changed, which was why the adults were praising him so enthusiastically.
At that moment, this little one deeply understood the importance of reading for the first time, and his eyes sparkled with a thirst for knowledge.
After the villagers finished their gathering, my relatives also came over for a get-together. Taking care of my relatives was much more tiring than taking care of the villagers.
When he got home, he was so exhausted that he felt like all his strength had been drained. He collapsed into a chair, too weak to even move.
He weakly instructed Chaochao: "Chaochao, pour some hot water for Dad so he can soak his feet."
Chaochao prepared hot water and brought it to Xie Yan. Looking at her father, who was slumped in a chair, she was speechless: "Dad, you didn't do any heavy work today, how come you're so tired?"
Xie Yan waved his hand wearily and said helplessly, "You don't understand, dealing with people is much more tiring than doing manual labor."
Chaochao blinked, looking puzzled: she really didn't understand; in her opinion, chatting with others was so much fun!
Not only can you hear all sorts of novel gossip, but you can also learn about the personalities of different people. How interesting is that!
She couldn't possibly understand Xie Yan's kind of troubles.
After the banquet at Lao Yu's house was over, the last batch of college admission notices for the villagers who took the college entrance examination were received one after another.
Gu Bin and Zhang Linghui's admission notices arrived as scheduled. Both of them were quite capable and were admitted to Kyoto University, specifically the Chinese Literature Department.
Holding the admission notice, Gu Bin's eyes were filled with joy and pride, while Zhang Linghui was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. The two hugged tightly, as if at this moment, all their efforts had been rewarded.
Gu Che also got into university; he got into a very good university in their area.
Gu Che is quite capable. Long before receiving the admission notice, he had already secured a shop for Zhang Shiyu near the school and successfully applied for a private tailor shop.
According to their plan, this tailor shop will focus on private customization.
Xie Yan had previously noticed that Zhang Shiyu had a unique style when it came to making clothes. Yu Yuehui also mentioned that Zhang Shiyu preferred to make the styles she liked rather than the kind of clothes that everyone wears nowadays.
This is probably the main reason why she had her niece take over her job here.
The educated youth at the settlement were all very persevering, and through their hard work, they all got into university.
Although some of them only got into junior college, it was still an important step in their lives.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of being admitted to university and full of hope for the future.
After the New Year, Xie Yan and Gu Bin discussed it and decided to take their families to the capital.
Xie Yan is doing alright, since they will definitely return to Xiliu Village in the future.
So this time, although I brought quite a lot of things, most of them were daily necessities such as clothes and shoes.
The Gu family, on the other hand, practically moved house, taking everything they could with them.
They had packed and sent back a lot of things beforehand, but even so, they still packed several large bags before setting off.
Besides Xie Yan's family, Mao Dan was also brought along on this trip to Beijing.
Since starting work at the commune, Yu Yuehua has come to realize the importance of education more and more deeply. When Xie Yan left this time, he specifically went to discuss with him the idea of taking Mao Dan to study in Beijing.
Yu Yuehua agreed without even thinking.
Beijing, the capital of the country, has vastly different educational resources compared to their small mountain village.
Besides, Xie Yan promised that they would come back during the winter and summer vacations unless there were unforeseen circumstances. As for the winter vacation, any family member who is available can go up and pick up the children.
Going to school in the city meant only being able to come back during winter and summer vacations, so they just hoped their child would get into high school and live on campus as soon as possible.
Yu Yuehua mentioned her suggestion of a thank-you banquet to her family, and they all agreed.
Mao Dan, in particular, was so excited he felt like he could fly.
He was no stranger to Beijing; he had been there before and especially liked the small house Xie Yan had prepared for him there.
The thought of studying in Beijing and living in a house he liked filled Mao Dan with excitement.
She showed no reluctance to leave her parents.
Although Liu Lanlan was reluctant to part with her son, she also had a young child to take care of and didn't have much energy to spare for Maodan.
Moreover, Maodan was mischievous by nature and spent all day playing outside, only staying home for a short time when it was time to eat. With Yu Yuehua's encouragement, she quickly came to terms with it.
When Mao Dan's friends learned that he was going to study in Beijing, they were incredibly envious! They had already been drooling when they saw the photos Mao Dan had taken in Beijing, and now they were even more envious.
Some children are so innocent and adorable that they run home and complain to their aunts about why they didn't find an uncle as capable as Xie Yan.
Especially in some married families, the children don't know how to read the room and actually asked the question directly in front of their uncles. The result was predictable: they were beaten with a bamboo stick, which made them cry loudly.
After a long and arduous journey, the group finally arrived in Beijing.
As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I saw Zhang Cehan driving up to pick me up.
This time, he not only drove a car, but also had a sizable tricycle parked next to it. Xie Yan felt much more at ease when he saw the tricycle, secretly relieved: Great, now I have a place to put my luggage.
The sunlight shone on them, as if blessing them for the new life they were beginning.
