Chapter 258 New Year Cheongsam



In short, this is a good thing. It can save lives at critical moments, even though it looks like an ordinary amulet now.

So Xu Manman still thinks it is best to carry it around the neck.

"Okay host." Xiao Jin never refused to respond to the host's needs.

When she woke up from her sleep, the longevity lock made of pure gold was ready. Xu Manman hung it directly around her neck. In addition to the complicated patterns, there was also a word "Fu" engraved in the middle, which was exquisite and beautiful.

After Xu Manman washed and dressed, she quickly went to the yard. During the Chinese New Year, a Chinese-style garden was more suitable.

With her hair tied up with gold hairpins and wearing a red cheongsam with gold embroidery, she looks particularly festive without looking old-fashioned.

The close-fitting cut of the cheongsam makes Xu Manman look graceful and elegant. Paired with high heels, she looks tall and stylish, and her figure sways gracefully when she walks.

Holding a round fan, she wanders through gardens and pavilions, like a lady from the Republic of China.

But it's not easy to be a lady of a noble family. Xu Manman felt like her feet were about to break after walking for only half an hour after not wearing high heels for a long time.

Walking with the support of the housekeeper Jin always felt a little strange. I took off my high heels and put on flat cloth shoes, which was much more comfortable.

Xu Manman, who was tired from walking, didn't want to move anymore after changing her shoes. She asked Xiao Jin to put a rattan lounge chair on the spot, and she lay down, fanning herself with a round fan and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden, which was a unique experience.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the village held another open-air movie. Xu Manman had previous experience, so this time she wrapped herself tightly. Not only did she wear self-heating thermal underwear, she also wrapped herself in a rabbit fur coat, and her shoulder bag was filled with melon seeds, peanuts, and candies.

The main point is that you won’t be cold or hungry.

Children cannot be exposed to too much wind, so Liu Hua and Li Xiao, as well as Yang Lili and her husband Zhan Tianqi, take turns to watch movies, and go home to take turns after watching one.

Only Wan Fang's child was older. He wrapped himself in a coat and watched the whole thing with his parents. When he felt sleepy, he buried his face in his mother's arms and fell asleep.

The movie was good. It should be a new movie released in the past two years. In any case, it was a movie that Xu Manman had never seen before. During the three movie hours, the two siblings got together to finish all the snacks they brought, but their mouths were a little dry after eating.

But this year, no one is a fool, and no one is willing to travel across mountains and hills for hours to watch a movie somewhere else.

The discussion about the movie in the village had not yet subsided, and the good news brought by the commune leader that day made the whole village boil.

That morning, the village chief led a group of people into the educated youth site. He pointed at Xu Manman with one hand and introduced him to a middle-aged man, "Secretary, this is our village's educated youth, Xu Manman."

Upon hearing this, the secretary looked at Xu Manman excitedly, "Xu Zhiqing, you are truly outstanding and promising at such a young age!"

Xu Manman still hadn't figured out the situation, "Village Chief, this is..."

The village chief smiled and said, "Good, good!"

The middle-aged man continued, "Xu Zhiqing, according to this year's college entrance examination rankings, you are the top scorer in science in our province! Congratulations, here is your admission letter." As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it over.

"This is the admission letter from Peking University and Tsinghua University. It was also sent with letters from Xue Mingxin and Chen Ming. I brought them here. I wonder if these two comrades are here?"

"Here I am!"

"Xue Zhiqing, come here quickly! Your notice has arrived!"

“Come on, come on!”

Xu Manman took her notice and pulled her cousin behind her to the front. On the other side, Xue Mingxin was also moved to the middle by everyone.

The commune secretary looked at the three people in front of him with praise, "Hahaha, your village has produced three students from Peking University and Tsinghua University at once. These are the best universities in the country. And, Xu Zhiqing, I saw your scores. If it were a national joint entrance examination, you might even be the top scorer."

After receiving the notice, Xu Manman and Chen Ming were very excited and couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces. However, since their leader was still there, they still needed to be humble.

"My success in the exam is inseparable from the support of my fellow educated youths, the village head and other leaders. I will continue to work hard."

"Good! Good! Young people have a promising future. In recognition of Xu Zhiqing's outstanding performance in this year's college entrance examination, the higher-ups have decided to give him a 500 yuan reward." He then pulled out an envelope from his schoolbag and handed it over.

"This..." Xu Manman hesitated and looked at the village chief.

In later generations, there were indeed such top-ranking awards and various scholarships, but at this time, she still didn't know whether she should accept the money.

Only after seeing the village chief nod did Xu Manman reach out to take it.

Next, I cooperated with the photographer to take a photo with the leader while holding the notice and award.
