It has to be said that Huo Yang's guess was correct. Not long after sending Huo Yang away the next day, Du Jiang heard the postman's bicycle bell and a knock on the door.
The couple received their admission letters from each other. Although it was just a thin piece of paper, it was as heavy as a mountain in Du Jiang's hands.
"Thank you, thank you," Du Jiang repeated this sentence over and over again. At this moment, he was at a loss for words and could not think of anything else to say.
However, the postman didn't take it seriously. After all, he had seen too many inappropriate scenes when delivering admission letters these days, and Du Jiang's reaction was not noticeable among them.
He immediately said "Congratulations" to Du Jiang and continued riding forward.
Looking in the direction of the postman, Du Jiang did not turn around and go home, but stood at the door and watched. As Guan Chuan and the others came out one after another, some were smiling and some were gesturing. In just a moment, Du Jiang witnessed the extremes of emotions. Fortunately, the three Guan Chuan brothers and Yu Chunxiao were a done deal. As for Luo Yue and the others, Du Jiang did not spend much time with them, so he did not have many feelings about them.
As for Li Hongjun, seeing the joy on Tianniu's face, Du Jiang was also a little happy, but Aunt Du and Uncle Du looked a little unhappy, but these were not Du Jiang's concern.
After looking at the people jumping around outside, Du Jiang turned around and went back into the house with the admission letter.
Sitting on the stool, Du Jiang opened the two envelopes very solemnly. Looking at the handwriting on the envelopes, which only had different names, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Instead, his smile became brighter and brighter.
"Sister Jiang, can I come in?" Yu Chunxiao's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Du Jiang quickly put away the notice and shouted, "The door is not locked, come in."
Along with Yu Chunxiao came the three Guanchuan brothers. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Du Jiang said, "Congratulations, everyone."
Guan Chuan bowed to Du Jiang and said, "Sister Jiang, we are grateful to you for this. If we hadn't studied with you, it would have been difficult."
Guan Nian: "Yes, Sister Jiang, thank you for taking care of us during this time."
Guan Liang: "Sister Jiang, which school do you and Brother Huo go to? I'm in Cangzhou."
"Huo Yang and I are both in Cangzhou. It's our hometown after all." Du Jiang didn't hide it and took out the notice that had been hidden. "Please sit down. Huo Yang is not here. He probably won't be back until noon."
"I saw it. Brother Huo left this morning." Guan Chuan and the others sat down at the same time. Then Guan Chuan lowered his voice and said, "Brother He and Sister Qian also passed the exam, but it's just a normal college. Bai Yongjun and Luo Yue and the others haven't believed it yet. I don't know if they didn't pass or if it's something else."
However, those present were more inclined to the former, but no one said it out loud.
Du Jiang nodded and said, "Sister Qian and the others have finally gotten their wish after all the hardship they've endured. Brother Li has also received it. I guess he'll be leaving after the New Year too."
Yu Chunxiao shook his head after he finished speaking. "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Although Sister Tianniu is not an only child, she has been like an only child for many years. If Brother Li passes away, I don't think Aunt Du and Uncle Du will be able to accept it."
"Yeah, I just saw that the two elders looked very troubled," Guan Chuan also shook his head, "If Brother Li doesn't make proper arrangements, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"What's the big deal?" Guan Nian said nonchalantly, "Why not just take Tianniu with you? Once everything is settled, we can take the child and the parents over. What's the big deal?"
"What do you know?" Guan Liang retorted. "I'm unfamiliar with the place. How can a student support a large family? Not to mention where to live? I don't know what's going on outside. Aunt Du and the others may not be able to go with me."
Du Jiang did not join in on the discussion. Only when they finished talking and looked over did he speak softly, "Brother Li is marrying into the family, so I think he will definitely bring his whole family with him. But I guess he will go alone at first. Brother Li's character is fine, but it depends on whether the two elders can let go now. If they don't let go and ruin Brother Li's future, even if Brother Li and Tianniu have a good relationship, I'm afraid there will be a gap in the future."
"Yes," Yu Chunxiao agreed, "but I don't know which school Brother Li applied to."
"I know about that. It's the Foreign Languages College in the city," Guan Chuan said, knowing something about Li Hongjun's situation. "It's not too far from the city to the village. I think Brother Li took his family issues into consideration when he applied."
Hearing this, Du Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "In this case, there's no need to worry. Aunt Du and Uncle Du will definitely let Brother Li go. After all, if we're in this city, the bus can go directly there. If we're out of town, I'm afraid there won't be enough space."
"That's true. Big Brother Li is very responsible." Guan Nian, who has had more contact with Li Hongjun, is still very convinced of his character. "Big Brother Li is a good person."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys should stay for lunch. We have a rabbit at home, and I'll make spicy rabbit meat later." Du Jiang swiftly put the notice away and put it back in the room, actually on the shelf. After leaving the room, he didn't forget to remind Yu Chunxiao and the others, "And you, put the notice away too. After all, there's no photo or anything on it. If someone takes it, you won't be able to go to school."
Du Jiang's words reminded everyone, and they hurriedly put the notice into their pockets.
When Huo Yang returned with Huo Xingle, Du Jiang's braised rabbit was ready. Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, Huo Yang understood and immediately took Huo Xingle out of the back seat. "Did the notice arrive?"
"We're here, Cangzhou," Du Jiang smiled and hugged Huo Xingle who ran over. "You're finally home. How was your time at Grandpa's? Go wash up. Mom made you some braised rabbit."
When he heard about braised rabbit, Huo Xingle became even happier and nodded hurriedly, "I'll go wash my hands now." Then he broke free from Du Jiang's arms and ran to the kitchen.
Du Jiang ignored him and led Huo Yang to the living room, saying as they walked, "Guan Chuan and his brothers and Chun Xiao all passed the exam, but Brother Bai and Luo Yue failed."
Guan Chuan and the others in the room quickly stood up upon hearing the noise. Huo Yang walked into the room, looked at the people standing there, waved his hand, and said, "Hurry up and sit down. We're family, so why be polite?"
By the time Huo Xingle finished washing his hands, the dining table was already full of people. Although he didn't understand, seeing everyone's joyful expressions, he knew what he was talking about. He immediately picked up the water cup in front of him like a little adult and said, "I'll have tea instead of wine. I wish all the uncles and aunts a better life."
Ah, they were stunned at first, then everyone burst into laughter, and raised the cups in front of them to clink with Huo Xingle's.
“Thank you Xingle for your blessing.”
"I also wish Xiao Xingle to grow up quickly and live in peace and happiness."
Looking at the adults who looked like children, Du Jiang and Huo Yang smiled at each other and watched the group of people laughing and playing with indulgence.
