Xu Jiajia and his party just returned to the courtyard.
Shen Xingzhi came with good news: "Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, Grandma Xu, Grandma He, uncle, I passed the exam. My efforts this year have not been in vain. I finally passed the exam..."
The few people who were named were surprised. This kid is pretty good. He actually passed the exam.
Xu Jiajia came over and patted Shen Xingzhi on the shoulder: "Which school did you apply for?"
Shen Xingzhi: "It's the worst school in Kyoto. The teacher said my score is still a few points higher than the average."
Now only the results are out, the notification letter has not arrived yet.
Shen Xingzhi guessed that he had passed the exam based on what his teacher said.
However, no matter how bad the school is, it is still a university. Xu Jiajia thinks it is very good: "Not bad, get the admission letter and give you a red envelope."
Yiyi patted her pocket and said, "Yiyi, give Uncle a red envelope."
The other five said in unison: "Give a red envelope."
Shen Xingzhi laughed like a fool: "Hahaha, I'm rich."
Chatted with everyone for a while.
Shen Xingzhi went to make a phone call.
The family telephone is installed in the lounge.
It's quiet there, not as noisy as the lobby.
Shen Xingzhi called the brigade.
This May.
The brigade was finally equipped with telephones.
It’s more convenient to call home now.
When the captain heard the phone ring, he went into the room and picked up the phone: "I am Xu Xiaolin, the captain of Shifeng Village. Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle, I'm Xiaomao. Please tell my parents that I got into college."
Shen Xingzhi was from the next village, but their village didn't have a telephone, so the team leader had to inform him.
However, it is still very convenient compared to going to the commune.
"What? You were admitted to university?" The captain knew Rumao a little bit.
When he was in school, he almost always caught duck eggs and was chased by Zhao Chunlan from his village to Shifeng Village.
In the nearby villages, everyone knows that Mao is not a good student.
"Yes, the school is not very good. It can't compare with my older brother, sister-in-law and second brother, but at least I got in.
Captain, please tell them, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."
Captain: “…”
There's smoke coming out of the Shen family's ancestral tomb!
The captain told the good news to Shen Dazhu and his wife. They had the same reaction as the captain, and were a little bit unbelievable. That hopeless guy was admitted to university!
The captain was pleased by the couple's expressions. He was not the only one who was surprised: "Your fur is still good!"
The educated youth in the village were somewhat confused when they heard the conversation: "Didn't the results just come out? How did he know that he passed the exam?"
Captain: "Just look at last year's admission score line and you'll know."
Shen Dazhu is now particularly glad that he let Mao go to Kyoto: "The education in Kyoto is still good. Mao Mao was admitted with such poor grades. If he stayed in his hometown, he would not even get a high school diploma."
After hearing this, the captain had an idea: "I'll call the youngest brother and ask him and his wife to find a way to take the child back."
…
"What? Bring the child to Kyoto?" Xu Yuanqing didn't expect his father to have such an idea.
"Yes, the education in Kyoto is good. It is better to raise children well than anything else. Look at Mao. When he was in his hometown, his grades were so poor, but he was admitted to university.
I believe that your two children will be admitted." Xu Yuanqing has two children, a boy and a girl, just making up a good word. The older one is 18 years old and the younger one is only one year old.
Xu Yuanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, the child is so young, who will take care of him?"
The captain hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Let your mother go and take Dawei with her. We will send you some food."
It's all for the children.
Xu Yuanqing couldn't make the decision on such a big matter: "I'll discuss it with Lili."
"Of course, since Dawei is so old now, he can still help us take care of the children.
However, Dawei is in junior high school now, so it’s harder to find a school. I’ll go find Jiajia later to see if there’s any solution.”
I'm always worried about my child because I didn't bring him with me.
With the arrival of the child, I work harder.
Lili is very efficient. She quickly found Xu Jiajia and told her that the child was coming to Kyoto.
Xu Jiajia felt that he was indeed the captain and had foresight: "How much money do you have?"
Lili is diligent, speaks well and reacts quickly.
The old lady arranged for her to run the stall.
Her monthly salary is 20 yuan, plus commission.
She has good grades and earns more than a hundred yuan a month.
Xu Yuanqing's was a little less, but still more than ten months.
The two coins together amount to about two hundred yuan.
They officially started working in July and it is now mid-July.
Over the past four months, they have saved more than 100 yuan.
"More than a hundred." Lili said this with a smile on her face. If it were in her hometown, she wouldn't see such a lot of money in several years.
"I will go with you to the Housing Authority tomorrow to see if there is a suitable house. If there is, we can buy it and then transfer the household registration of your two children and Dawei.
With a hukou, it is much easier to study here.”
Lili had never thought about buying a house here, but after hearing Xu Jiajia's analysis, it was like a new world had opened up to her. She said excitedly, "Can I, can I buy a house here?"
Xu Jiajia smiled and said, "Why not? As long as you have money and a suitable house, you can buy it."
In this way, not only the children's education problem is solved, but also the housing problem is solved.
Kill two birds with one stone.”
Lili listened to Xu Jiajia very much. She followed whatever Xu Jiajia said: "Okay, let's buy a house."
"What? Buy a house?" When Lili told Xu Yuanqing the news, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out: "Why do you suddenly want to buy a house?"
Lili told Xu Yuanqing about Xu Jiajia's analysis.
After listening to this, he thought it made sense: "We don't even have a thousand dollars, how can we afford it?"
Lili smiled and said, "Don't worry, you call your father-in-law and borrow 500 yuan, and I'll borrow 1,000 yuan from my mother. Together we'll have more than 2,000 yuan, which should be enough."
Lili's father is the commune secretary and her mother is the director of the women's department.
The conditions are better than those of the captain.
Xu Yuanqing thought it was okay: "Let's go to the post office now."
…
"What? You want to buy a house in Kyoto? Xu Yuanqing, when did you become so far-sighted? Tell me, did someone give you advice?" The captain knew his youngest son very well. If no one had given him advice, he would not have thought of this.
Xu Yuanqing: "..."
This biological father doesn't give him any way to survive.
Why don't you praise him a little and let him be proud for a few seconds?
"Jia Jia came up with the idea. We don't have that much money. We want to borrow 500 from you and 1,000 from my mother."
"Is five hundred enough?" The captain was so excited. That was Kyoto. If the youngest brother bought a house there, he wouldn't have to stay in a guesthouse when he went to Kyoto.
"We have saved more than 100 yuan, so it should be enough."
The captain was surprised that the couple had only been in Kyoto for a short time and had already accumulated a considerable fortune.
Not bad, not bad, she is better at saving money than her father: "Okay, I'll send you 500."
…
The captain hung up the phone and immediately ran to the field: "Old woman, old woman, help me."
