The Zhao family enjoyed a rare period of harmony, and then the college entrance examination admission notice came out.
Zhao Xingjia had long known that he had no hope and only wanted to fight again next year.
Zhao Xingye was full of confidence. He had specially taken some time off before the exam, studied very hard, and even spent a lot of money on review materials.
He even borrowed some money.
Although he was dissatisfied and finally got into a junior college after much hardship, it was already very good.
He just doesn't believe that his elder brother, sister-in-law and Xingmin can do well in the exam?
My eldest brother had been in the countryside for many years, so he probably forgot most of it, otherwise why didn't my second brother pass the exam? My eldest sister-in-law was a country girl, and I didn't know if she had ever been to school.
If my mother hadn't solved the case locally and made great contributions, and hadn't accepted the honors and prizes, but only asked that my eldest brother and sister-in-law be able to take the college entrance examination here, my sister-in-law might not have had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination.
Although Xingmin just graduated this year like herself, when they were in school together, Xingmin always had to take care of Zhao Yang. Sometimes her mother was too busy, so she would always take leave to stay at home and run around. She was nowhere near as busy as herself in terms of the number of days she spent away from school.
Zhao Xingye felt that his mother would definitely come to him for help, and Zhang Zhaodi thought so too. She had already thought about how to be Ma Xiulan's daughter-in-law and how to let her serve herself and the children.
Unexpectedly, three days passed without any news.
Zhang Zhaodi wondered, "Do you think Mom doesn't know that you got into a junior college? Why don't you go tell Niu Chunhua? She and Mom have a good relationship. If she knows, Mom will definitely know too."
Zhao Xingye thought that was also true. Mom must not know about it yet, otherwise there would be no movement.
"Then I'll go talk to Aunt Niu Chunhua and tell her that we're having a dinner and ask her to invite Mom along." Zhang Zhaodi was reluctant to spend the money, but she couldn't catch a wolf without risking her own.
"Then we can only go to the state-owned restaurant to eat vegetarian noodles." This was her final compromise.
"I have to invite my family. I finally get to show off. They're definitely going to envy me for marrying a college student."
Zhao Xingye agreed to all of them. He has now been admitted to a junior college. When school starts, he can sell his job and earn a few hundred yuan. After entering the school, he will receive a subsidy every month, and will be assigned a job after graduation.
A bright future awaits him, and maybe Ma Xiu Lan will take the initiative to pay for this dinner.
Zhao Xingye specially took a day off to return to the previous courtyard and went to Niu Chunhua's house:
"Aunt Niu, I passed the entrance exam and would like to invite you and my mother to my graduation banquet. You must come."
He deliberately said that he had passed the exam so that others would definitely mistakenly think that it was a university and not a junior college.
Niu Chunhua was surprised for a moment, then delighted: "My sisters are really good at giving birth, they are amazing."
Zhao Xingye thought he was being praised and pretended to be modest. "If I had more time to prepare, I might have been able to get into Peking University. This exam was a bit rushed."
Niu Chunhua continued to smile. She didn't know what Peking University was. She just thought that being able to get into university was amazing. Zhao Xingye was showing off to the wrong person.
Then Zhao Xingye took the initiative to mention that the graduation banquet was scheduled for tomorrow at noon, and asked Niu Chunhua and Ma Xiu Lan to come together.
Niu Chunhua sighed regretfully: "It's definitely not possible tomorrow."
Just when Zhao Xingye was wondering why it didn't work, he heard Niu Chunhua continue:
"Your mother is treating us to a meal tomorrow. Your eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, and third sister have all been admitted to university."
Zhao Xingye's jaw dropped in surprise: "Aunt Niu, are you sure they all got into college, not junior college?"
Niu Chunhua nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, they all got into university. Xingmin is an accountant at our city's University of Finance and Economics. Your eldest brother seems to be studying agriculture, and your eldest sister-in-law is studying medicine."
"By the way, you just said you passed the exam. Was it a university or a junior college?"
Zhao Xingye's face flushed red. How could it be possible? Why did they all get into college? He was obviously the smartest one in the family.
Unlike the silly eldest brother who only cares about pleasing his mother, he can do anything for a little attention from his mother. Unlike the stupid Xingmin, why did these two people and the eldest sister-in-law, the country woman, get admitted?
He returned home with a dark face, and Zhang Zhaodi held her belly:
"My family will be here tomorrow. You're the first college graduate in our family. They're all eager for you to touch their children's heads and let them experience your talent."
Zhao Xingye said with a cold face: "The graduation banquet will not be held tomorrow."
Zhang Zhaodi was dumbfounded: "Why not? I've already notified everyone."
"Not in the mood."
After saying that, he went to a corner to smoke. Zhang Zhaodi angrily threatened him: "If you don't tell me, I will go find Niu Chunhua and ask her myself."
Seeing that she turned around and was about to leave, Zhao Xingye had to stop her. If she went again, she was afraid that her mother would find out tomorrow and laugh at her even harder.
It's a shame that I'm still outside the examination room and I'm making such bold and harsh remarks.
"Boss, eldest wife, Xingmin has been admitted to university, which is better than my junior college."
Zhang Zhaodi was also very angry when she heard this and scolded them harshly. She said that maybe their mothers bribed the examiners so that they could cheat in the exam and get into university. I will report them right away.
"Impossible. This time, the college entrance examination has been restarted, and all aspects are strictly controlled. There's no way this could happen. The little money Mom has can't buy off such a big thing."
Zhao Xingye was in despair because he was hit hard by knowing the fairness of this national exam.
"It's all because Mom treated them well and found teachers for them to review. If you were the same as them, you would definitely do better on the exam. It's all your Mom's fault. Don't blame yourself. You should make something of yourself and make your Mom regret it. My mom now regrets not treating you well before and trying to get close to us."
Zhang Zhaodi was furious that she couldn't take advantage of Ma Xiu Lan, but what she had to do first was to cheer up Zhao Xingye so that she could continue to hold the graduation banquet tomorrow and make her proud in her parents' home.
At Zhang Zhaodi's advice, Zhao Xingye continued to hold the graduation banquet the next day. However, except for Zhao Xingjia, Zhao Yang who had healed his head injury, and Zhao Youcai, the remaining two tables were all occupied by members of the Zhang family.
Ma Xiu Lan invited her younger brother and sister's families, Gu Xiangze, the old couple Su Shibo, and the neighbors with whom she had a good relationship. There were four or five tables in total.
Zhang Jianxun's mother, Lu Wenying, happened to come to the hotel to attend her sister's child's graduation banquet, but she saw that Zhao Xingmin was also holding a graduation banquet, and there were actually several respectable people sitting there.
Her brother-in-law followed her gaze and asked in shock, "Mr. Su?"
Lu Wenying quickly asked, "Who is this Mr. Su?"
My brother-in-law sounds like he is very powerful. If he is really powerful and has a relationship with Zhao Xingmin, it is not impossible for Zhao Xingmin to marry him. Now my son is not going on blind dates properly because of Zhao Xingmin.
