Chapter 298 Results Announcement 2 "Our mom is amazing!" "Then what about Dad's exam..."
The north wind in the dead of winter was biting, but Yao Zhizhi didn't feel cold at all.
She took out all her documents and seals and watched quietly as the postman took the letters out of the package.
The postman delivered notices all morning long. All the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the world were contained in those small envelopes.
Some people burst into tears when they see others get admitted but they themselves are not; some people get admitted but it is not their ideal school, so they can’t help but sigh.
Occasionally, one or two students get admitted to their ideal university, and they will be so happy that they dance with joy and can't wait to use a loudspeaker to announce it to everyone.
However, the Yao Zhizhi in front of him was unusually calm, as if she had already known the result and was just coming here to go through the process.
The postman took the documents, checked them one by one, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Aren't you going to ask me which school I'm from?"
"The Provincial Education Commission had previously called the subdistrict office and asked them to verify whether my wife and I were among the "five black categories," so I knew which school it was." Yao Zhizhi calmly took the notice, signed it, and stamped it.
The postman smiled. "That's right. A good school like this must be considered carefully. I'm sure they've contacted you a long time ago. Well, congratulations."
Yao Zhizhi thanked him with a smile, then turned and went into the house.
She and Qi Changxiao applied to the same university, one for the Foreign Languages Department and the other for the Chinese Department.
After years of hard work, she finally got the reward. She was indeed very happy, but she was still extremely calm, as if this was supposed to be her life and she was just back on track. That was all.
She opened the envelope and looked at the huge four-character school name on it and smiled sincerely.
The two children didn't bother to make a snowman and rushed over, clamoring to show them. Yao Zhizhi squatted down with a smile and read it to them.
Little Xingxing was very proud. With her flushed face raised, she said to her sister, "I told you, our mom is amazing. I'm sure you'll pass the exam."
"Did Dad pass the exam?" Little Moon turned to look at her father who was adjusting the camera.
Qi Changxiao smiled and handed his notice to his daughter: "Here, take it and see if it's the same as mom's."
Little Yueliang is still a baby and doesn’t recognize many words, but she recognizes the names of all her family members and some simple commonly used words.
The little girl read in a baby voice: "Beidu University!"
"Yes, Beidu University! How do you pronounce this?" Xiao Xingxing pointed at the word "Tong" on the inner page of the notice.
Little Moon didn't recognize it and frowned in distress: "This is the bottom of the walkway, what's that on the right?"
"The one on the right is pronounced "yong", and when put together, it is pronounced "tong!" Little Star gave her sister a lesson in a serious manner.
Little Moon immediately said excitedly: "Catch all the bad guys!"
"No, that's the tong next to the twisted wire, and the one on the right is a chong. The one at the bottom of the tong is tong, which means connecting in all directions, passing, and notifying. Mom and Dad passed the exam, that's the tong!" Little Star patiently explained to his sister.
Little Moon suddenly realized: "Then... which one is the tong in 扑通?"
"It's the same one, and you can add a mouth radical." Little Star leaned over and wrote directly on the snow for her sister to see.
Qi Changxiao, who was standing by, pressed the shutter button with a smile. What a good brother and sister they were. He couldn't bear to be separated from his children. He decided to rent a house near the school and take his children to school together.
As for how the children can go to school since they don’t have a household registration there, we can only shamelessly ask my father-in-law to find someone he knows to help.
He took a few more photos, and when he looked up, Yao Weihua came back. He quickly asked the two children to show the notice to their uncle.
Yao Weihua leaned over and took Xiaoyue into his arms. "Let me see, which kid's mother got into college? Oh, it's my Xiaoyue's! Isn't Xiaoyue happy?"
"Happy!" Little Moon hugged her uncle's neck and asked curiously, "Didn't Uncle take the exam?"
"My uncle didn't take the exam. He's busy with his business." Yao Weihua will soon go to Yunnan to visit his teacher from his days as a sent-down youth. To run a medicinal herb business, one must find a reliable and knowledgeable person who can control the herbs from the source.
Now that the policy has been relaxed, the two sides will definitely resume trade. He can directly purchase medicinal materials from farmers in Yunnan without having to go through middlemen.
This way, we can directly pass on the profits to farmers, and we can also strengthen our quality control, making our business bigger and stronger.
In short, now that the test results are out, he is completely relieved and can concentrate on his own affairs from now on.
He handed the admission letter back to Yao Zhizhi and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want to take the children to the north, or do you want me to take them to study in Hong Kong?"
"Brother, come back and go to college." Yao Zhizhi was still unwilling to accept that her third brother was delayed like this. She really hoped that her third brother could take the exam next year and study anything. No matter what he did in the future, there would be fewer restrictions.
Yao Weihua smiled and went to the kitchen to cook. "No need. If I really miss it, I can study in Hong Kong or abroad. There's no need to be confined to China. It just so happens that I want to go out and see the world. This is a rapidly changing era, and only with an international perspective can we go far."
Yao Zhizhi was helpless: "Okay. Well... I've discussed it with Changxiao. The child will come with us. You have Qianqian over there, and it's already very hard. It might even delay your chances of finding a partner."
"Oh, here it comes again. Please stop worrying about it, my dear sister!" Yao Weihua was anxious, and his long-lost Northeastern accent came out.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't resist him, so she squatted in the kitchen to help pick vegetables.
While he was busy, Shen Qingwan came over with the admission letter. She was admitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University.
He is indeed a top student and shines wherever he goes.
Yao Zhizhi was genuinely happy for her, patted her shoulder and called her into the house.
Shen Qingwan didn't think much about it. When she entered the house, she found that Yao Zhizhi had prepared a bulging canvas bag for her. She didn't know what was inside.
Yao Zhizhi refused to let her open it, and only warned her, "Go back and look at it. If you take it, you are not allowed to return it to me."
"What is it? It's so mysterious." Shen Qingwan was very curious. She picked up the bag and weighed it in her hand. Wow, it was really heavy. She patted it twice and it was hard. Could it be a textbook?
Without giving it much thought, she put down her canvas bag, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "I'll go help with the cooking. Oh, and I've asked my aunt to help find a house that can be rented out, preferably a courtyard house, so the two children can have fun. You can also bring your elders over and hire a nanny to help take care of the children."
"Really? Thank you so much." Yao Zhizhi thought to herself, as expected, true friends would think about what the other person is thinking. Before she even opened her mouth, Shen Qingwan had already helped her arrange things.
It's really thanks to Shen Qingwan in the past few years. Otherwise, she and Qi Changxiao, two cobblers, might not be able to get into Peking University.
She squatted in front of Shen Qingwan and asked seriously, "You go back to study... Do you want to fight for the custody of the child?"
Shen Qingwan shook her head: "No, I can't win. I'll just focus on studying first. If the child is willing to recognize me in the future, at least I can provide financial support for the child."
"That's fine." Yao Zhizhi respected her decision, even if her in-laws didn't have any contact with her. She had been separated from her child for two weeks before the exam, and the feeling of separation was unbearable, so she brought up the matter of the child.
Shen Qingwan has been very secretive these years. She must be missing her child, but she has no choice but to hide her longing in her heart. It is so heartbreaking.
She handed the peeled garlic to Yao Weihua and went back to the door to peel radishes. "I heard on the radio that there were over 5.7 million applicants this year, but in the end only about 270,000 were admitted. I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce."
"Yeah, on average, only one out of twenty-one people is accepted, and the remaining twenty are heartbroken." Shen Qingwan was still quite content. If Yao Taotao hadn't introduced such a family and asked her to help take care of the child, she would still be sinking in the countryside.
In that kind of environment, if you can't even fill your stomach, how can you have the energy to go to work and earn work points? If you can't earn work points, you won't get much food, and you won't be able to eat enough. It's a vicious cycle.
Therefore, her ability to have time to read and be admitted to university was inseparable from Yao Taotao's kind recommendation and the sincere treatment of Yao Zhizhi's family.
She looked at Yao Zhizhi seriously and said, "If you can't find a suitable nanny, I can ask my aunt to arrange one. I will definitely find you a reliable one, so that you don't have to bring a nanny over. It's a long journey and quite tiring."
Yao Zhizhi hadn't decided who to bring with her yet, but since Shen Qingwan had already spoken, she appreciated the kindness.
She put the knife down with a smile. "I'll let my dad ask his old comrades in the capital first. If he can't find them, I'll definitely not be polite to you."
"Okay." Shen Qingwan smiled and stood up, swept the skin on the ground, turned around and fished out another piece of tofu. She pushed Yao Weihua out: "Okay, you go and rest, just let me do my best, okay? Don't argue with me."
Yao Weihua understood her feelings, washed his hands happily, and came out to take care of the child.
Chinese New Year was approaching, and he was planning to go to Northeast China to visit his older brother and his family. So he asked, "Little sister, would you like to go to Northeast China for Chinese New Year this year? After Chinese New Year, come with me to Hong Kong for a couple of days, just in time for me to go back to school. Or you could go to Hong Kong for a couple of days first, since you can always take a flight from Guangdong."
"Okay, I'm fine with that. Just ask big brother when you're free." Yao Zhizhi didn't refuse this time. The exams were over, and the admission letter was in hand. Everything was settled, and it was time to relax.
Speak of the devil! As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Yao Zhizhi hurried to answer the phone. It was the voice of her elder brother Yao Weiguo. He was almost anxious to death. Since the exam, he called her once a day, wanting to know how his younger sister did. Now there should be results, and he really hoped that his younger sister could get what she wanted.
Yao Zhizhi picked up the admission letter and read it to him word for word. Yao Weiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! I knew you could do it. Did your brother-in-law get in, too?"
"Yes, he went to the Foreign Languages Department." Yao Zhizhi replied with a smile, "I was just talking to my third brother about it. I plan to go and meet you guys in a few days."
"Oh, that's great. I'll go to the guesthouse and book a room. Are you all coming?" Yao Weiguo was very happy. It would be better if everyone came, as the whole family had never been reunited before.
Yao Zhizhi wasn't sure if her second sister could get leave, so she could only say she would call back later.
At the same time, at the Public Security Bureau, Yang Shuming hung up the phone from Tang Fengyuan, quickly grabbed his police hat, and called Xiao Sun to go out to the police station: "Quick, Team One, follow me out, there's a big case!"
"What case is this?" Xiao Sun was depressed. The New Year was coming soon, and here came another exciting incident?
Yang Shuming put on his hat and said seriously, "This is a family massacre. We'll discuss the details in the car. Quick, everyone in Team One, assemble!"
