Chapter 140 Going to Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University
Unfortunately she didn't, and it's not realistic for her to tell her parents now, and she's too young now.
This matter will have to wait until later, to see if she can become the provincial champion in this life, because there are rewards for provincial champions.
If her cousin can do it, then she should be able to do it too, after all, she has the upper hand.
There were many happy events this year. Just after Mingyue got married, Hongxing received an admission letter from the Commune Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and Peking University.
He was one of the only two people with a high school diploma in the Red Star Commune who was recommended by their commune to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and Peking University chose him among a group of students.
Peking University and Tsinghua University were the top universities in the country before the college entrance examination was cancelled. How strong was Su Che's sense of honor at that time, how strong is Hong Xing's sense of honor now.
When they received this news, the entire Xiangyang team was in an uproar. This was different from hearing that Teacher Su He's third brother Su Che was going to college.
That was someone else. No matter how powerful or awesome that person was, he was not someone they knew. They did not watch him, they just listened.
At most, you can just sigh at how great and awesome it is.
And now this person who is about to go to college is from the top university in the country. He is an educated youth from their village and has worked with them for several years.
Although they are not my biological children, I am still considered a family member.
Holy shit, this is awesome!
In the past, people came to watch the radio, but now they come to watch the red star.
Red Star is the pride of their entire village.
Many village ladies brought an egg to look at the red star, which is no different from the top scholar in ancient times.
Gu's parents were the first to know the good news. Hongxing is not their biological grandson, but he is no different from their biological grandson. Looking at the university admission letter, Gu's parents were so excited that they burst into tears.
So this is what it feels like when a relative is taking the college entrance exam.
Father Gu patted Hongxing on the shoulder and said, "Good boy!"
Mother Gu wiped her tears and said, "Hongxing, hurry up and ride your bike to the county and tell your parents the good news."
"Okay, grandma and grandpa."
At this moment, Hong Xing didn't know whether he was too excited or what, but he felt extremely calm, so calm that he couldn't be calmer.
There was no bicycle at home, and both bicycles were taken away by his uncle and aunt. He went directly to Mingyue and Tang Zexu's house to borrow a bicycle and went to the county.
When they went to the textile factory to look for his parents, Team Leader Wang and his third sister Gu thought something had happened at home, after all, his parents were old.
Who knew that the eldest son said,
"Mom and Dad, I received the college acceptance letter!"
"Look! It's from Peking University!"
After hearing these two sentences, Team Leader Wang was stunned for a second, "You said you received a college acceptance letter?"
Red Star nodded.
Team leader Wang asked again, "Peking University? The school your uncle's third brother was admitted to?"
Red Star nodded again.
Team Leader Wang’s educational level was not high, perhaps even lower than that of Sister Gu, but he recognized the words on the admission letter and the four big characters “Peking University” written on it.
He looked at it over and over again, and finally looked up.
"Son, you have made great progress."
Team leader Wang's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs. The old father was excited.
Third Sister Gu, like her mother, is a person who cries easily and is able to empathize. Seeing Team Leader Wang like this, she also began to cry.
He also said, "It's a good thing that Hongxing is going to college, so don't cry."
Team Leader Wang: "Excited."
Of course, my son has been a good student since he was young. I used to dream that he would be able to get into a university through the college entrance examination, but later on, the college entrance examination was discontinued.
After the mechanism is changed, admission to university will depend on recommendations.
It felt very unreliable to rely on other people's recommendations, but now his wish has finally come true and his son is going to college.
It is also the top university in China.
How could he not be excited?
In the future, someone in their family will go to Peking University!
Tonight, Team Leader Wang and his third sister Gu are going back home to have dinner with their parents.
For such a good thing, of course we had to eat meat, so we gave him Red Star meat coupons and money to buy meat.
Gu Mu killed a chicken.
Su He and Gu Jianhua only found out about this when they got home from get off work that evening.
"You've made great progress, Hongxing. You are the first one in our village to go to college, and also the first to go to Peking University. Good boy!" Gu Jianhua patted Hongxing's shoulder heavily.
Su He, "Awesome! Your teacher is proud of you, and your aunt is proud of you too."
Normally, people don’t drink alcohol unless it’s Chinese New Year or other festivals, but today is different. Everyone toasts to the college student Hong Xing.
And they all said auspicious things,
Father Gu was not very good at this, so he said, "Grandma wishes you all the best!"
Gu's mother is similar, "Day Day Up!"
Gu Jianhua, "Uncle wishes you academic success and a successful career."
Su He, "I wish our Red Star a bright future and a promising future."
Team Leader Wang, "You guys are the ones who said this. I, your father, wish you all the best!"
Gu Sanjie, "Mom also wishes you all the best."
Four younger brothers and sisters, "I wish my brother all the best."
"Cheers!"
Let’s clink glasses!
College students were a rarity, and in the next few days, either the secretary, the team leader, or other aunties from the village came to visit the house.
Some even want to introduce the girl to Red Star.
In fact, everyone had been optimistic about Hong Xing because the young man was handsome, had a straight figure, and was very hardworking. He could pick corn and collect corn stalks at a speed that was just as fast as that of old farmers who had been working there for many years.
No matter whether you are a young girl or a young boy, if you work hard you will be welcomed.
Not to mention that you have to go to college now, which is simply a hot commodity.
However, all of them were declined by Gu's mother.
Hongxing is studying at university and won't be back for a while. What if Hongxing meets a girl he likes at school?
Everyone understands, but they just ask because they don't give up.
Gu's second sister Mingyue and her friends also came to chat with Hongxing. Gu's second sister was very envious and didn't know whether her daughter could be recommended to go to college.
What a great thing it is to go to college.
The first purpose of providing education for a child is to prevent her from becoming illiterate, and the second is to enable her to enter university.
Second sister Gu hopes that her daughter will have the opportunity to be recommended.
Mingyue also wants to go to college, but going to college means separating from Tang Zexu, and she doesn't want to be separated... She is reluctant to do so.
The sweet period of newlyweds.
But it’s too early to think about this, and going to college is a few years away, so I won’t think about it for now. Thinking about it makes me sad.
"My wife, if you are recommended to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the future, I will support you."
Tang Zexu said on the way back.
He knew that his wife had good grades and was among the best in her class. His mother-in-law also said that if the college entrance examination had not been cancelled, his wife would probably have gone to college.
It’s just that the college entrance examination was cancelled, so I couldn’t go.
But if his wife was recommended by the commune to go to university, he would support it.
Mingyue smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Tang Zexu, "I mean don't give up your future for anyone."
"Wife, if you go to college, I will be proud of you."
"Just don't abandon me and fall in love with someone else."
Mingyue: "No, I won't like anyone else."
Tang Zexu, "Oh, it would be great if I could transform myself into a matchstick-like figure. Then I would stay in your pocket and go wherever you go."
"This way we won't have to be separated any more."
