"Oh my god, that's great! It's really great!"
"Mom, we called back just to tell you that we have to report to school before the end of the month and we can't come back this year. Also, please remember to pack up the things I sent us a few days ago." Phone calls are quite expensive nowadays, and Chen Ming wanted to finish what he wanted to say in one breath.
"Okay, okay, where's Nannan? Is Nannan here?" The mother obviously didn't understand her son's thrifty idea.
"Manman is beside us."
"Let me say a few words to Nannan."
Xu Manman took the phone and said, "Aunt."
"Hey, Nannan, do you have enough money? Is there anything you want to eat? Your aunt will send it to you. Also, be careful when you take the train to Beijing. Keep the notice safe, and let your brother take the luggage..." She kept chattering, feeling happy and worried.
"Aunt, we don't need anything right now, so there's no need to send it yet. We'll call home when we register at school and see if we need anything."
"Okay, fine then. If you have anything, feel free to call me. Phone calls are quite expensive. Auntie, I'll hang up first."
"Okay, goodbye, aunt."
After Ye Rong hung up the phone, her colleagues came over and asked, "Sister Ye, did your child pass the exam?"
Ye Rong smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. "Well, our eldest son and niece were both admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University! My niece is even the top student in the province." Her tone revealed a strong sense of pride.
"Oh, that's impossible. Peking University and Tsinghua University are the best universities in the country." Everyone is paying attention to such a big event as the resumption of the college entrance examination. Everyone is also familiar with some well-known universities.
"Your niece... is Mr. Xu's eldest daughter, right? Aren't they both working in the countryside in the north, just like your eldest son? Wow! She even passed the exam, which shows how smart she is."
Ye Rong was still symbolically modest. "The child has loved reading since she was young. When she first went to the countryside, she even asked her family to send her textbooks. She never puts down her books even during the holidays. This time, she got the top score in the exam, which is worthy of her efforts. Hahaha."
"Your family has a top scholar. My son also passed the exam this year. I'm thankful that he can go to school."
"Yes, the notice might be on the way. Let's stop talking. I'm going to tell my husband and my sister-in-law the good news."
"Hurry up, this is a great event, we need to let them know as soon as possible."
Not to mention how ecstatic the parents in Hai City were after hearing the news.
After Xu Manman hung up the phone with her aunt, she called her uncle's military district office.
Uncle Xu was also very happy. This was the first college student among the younger generation of the Xu family. He was admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, and was the top student in the province. The child's future can be imagined.
When I got home from get off work in the evening, I took my aunt to drink four taels of wine.
For a long time, I walked to and from get off work with a breeze, and smiled at everyone I met. "Look, my eldest niece responded to the country's call to go to the countryside a few days ago. She didn't even want a job. When the college entrance examination was resumed some time ago, she took the top spot in the province and even got admission letters to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Look at this kid now, it's really...hahahahaha."
People around him wanted to kick him. She's not your daughter, why are you so proud all day long?
There are also families whose children have taken the college entrance examination and who come home to criticize their children.
"Other people's children can still persist in studying after going to the countryside, and can easily become the top scorer in the provincial exam and get into Peking University or Tsinghua University.
You, on the other hand, just eat and drink well at home, laughing and joking like a loser all day, bringing shame to your father."
Such conversations also take place in many families in the military region.
Xu Manman didn't know all this. She hung up the phone, sent the things and the letter, and asked the staff if there was any notice from Hongsheng Village.
"The postman will deliver the notification letter when it arrives. It also states that this is a special letter and cannot be collected on behalf of others. If you collect it in person, you must also present your admission ticket or letter of introduction."
good!
This shows that the people above have also considered this part of the risk, so that some of the crisis can be solved from the source.
Xue Mingxin left after sending the telegram, which made Chen Ming feel that this guy was quite sensible.
After finishing my business at the post office, I rode my bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative with Chen Ming. The snacks at the supply and marketing cooperative were not fresh today, so I only bought some pork and bones.
Thinking of the taste of the fried dumplings that day, the brother and sister even made a detour to the State-owned Restaurant. Maybe it was the blessing of the amulet for good luck, because they had fried dumplings today.
When they went over, a pot of them had just come out of the oven. The brother and sister bought eight at once, ate four of them right away, and wrapped the remaining four in oil paper to eat at home.
