Chapter 468
Su Yuanzheng was very persistent and held the postman's hands tightly with both hands, his eyes full of sincerity and gratitude.
He leaned forward slightly and said seriously:
"Comrade, you work so hard every day in the wind and rain! Today, you brought us great news. This admission letter carries my daughter's years of dreams and hard work.
If it were in ancient times, you would be the messenger of good news, and we should treat you well with good wine and food.
But now is a new era, and those extravagant celebrations are no longer popular. However, gratitude cannot be neglected. So, just give me a red envelope as a token of your appreciation. Thank you sincerely for coming to tell us the good news."
His eyes were full of sincerity and gratitude, which made the postman unable to refuse.
The postman was a little embarrassed by Su Yuanzheng's enthusiastic words. He quickly waved his hand to refuse, with a simple smile on his face, and said:
"No, no, this is all my job. You're too polite."
But Su Yuanzheng refused to give up and still insisted on stuffing the red envelope into the postman's hand. The postman refused several times, but finally couldn't resist and had to accept it.
With a delighted smile on his face, he said, "Thank you very much. I'd like to share in the joy of being a top student."
After saying that, he casually stuffed the red envelope into the pocket of his uniform.
As I was still thinking about the letter I had to deliver, I didn't have time to take a closer look. I turned around, got on my bicycle, pedaled hard, and the bike creaked towards the next destination.
He originally thought it was just a small red envelope with some change stuffed in it, as was the custom here, and he put it in his pocket and forgot about it after a busy day.
When he got home that night, his wife was helping him with the laundry when she exclaimed, "Lao Zheng! How come there's a fifty-yuan red envelope in your pocket?"
Hearing the call, the postman stood up from his chair, walked quickly to his wife, and was stunned when he saw the red envelope in her hand.
Only then did he suddenly remember the red envelope he received today. Inside the thin red envelope was a fifty-yuan note.
"Oh my! This is the red envelope that family gave to the top scorer in the college entrance examination when we delivered their admission letter today! Why is it so much?"
He said in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
"This...is this a red envelope? It's equivalent to half a month's salary and allowance for you. Is it really okay for us to accept it?" the wife asked worriedly, her eyes full of uneasiness and hesitation.
The postman frowned, paced back and forth in the room, thought for a moment and then said:
"It's normal for people to give out some red envelopes when sending wedding announcements, but I've never seen anything this big. But I've already accepted it, so wouldn't it ruin their happiness if I return it now?"
As he spoke, he scratched his head with his hand, a conflicted expression on his face.
"Then...we really accept it?"
The wife asked again, with a hint of anticipation and a hint of fear in her tone.
"Let's put the red envelope away and don't touch it for now. If there's any problem, we'll take it out and pay it back. We'll say we haven't opened it yet and don't know the amount inside.
After a while, if no one says anything, then there will be no problem. "
…
Back to Su Ji, after sending the postman away, Su Yuanzheng was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
He felt as if his body was filled with endless power, and he felt light and airy.
He excitedly shouted to the kitchen, "Ayu! Go braise another pot of eggs. Every customer who comes to our restaurant today will get a free braised egg!"
Su Yu listened to his instructions, responded with a smile, and started to get busy.
Everyone was content to watch the fun and get some benefits, and they kept praising the event.
Su Yuanzheng was so shocked that he kept laughing “Hahahahahahahahaha~” the whole afternoon.
Su Miao took the email back to the backyard and slowly looked through it. The format was different from what she received in her previous life.
After three years, perhaps it has been revised to keep up with the rapid developments.
Today's notices are still very simple, and they only need to clearly state the matters.
The new student orientation required students to bring the original admission letter with them when they enrolled, which would need to be verified when they reported in. This reminded her of a story she had heard from a classmate about a stolen letter.
At that time, a classmate's cousin Lingling applied to a junior college. After failing the college entrance examination, she did not continue to repeat the year, but stayed at home to farm.
It was not until five years later, when she was about to get married and went to handle the paperwork, that she found out that her household registration had changed five years ago.
Surprised, her family decided to dig deeper and finally discovered that she had actually been admitted to a university five years ago.
They then went to the university for consultation and discovered that a student with the same name as her had completed her studies and obtained a diploma in her place.
This was a bolt from the blue for Lingling, so her life shouldn't be like this, her life had other possibilities.
She pursued the case relentlessly, seeking only fairness and the truth.
Finally, the cause was traced back to his own uncle!
My uncle also has a daughter, Yueyue, who is the same age as her and took the college entrance examination in the same year. Their birth dates are only 10 days apart, and their names are only one character apart.
The two cousins took the college entrance examination at the same time and asked each other about their scores. At that time, Yueyue's score was 8 points lower than hers.
After Lingling failed the college entrance exam, she didn't think much about it when she learned that Yueyue had been admitted to university.
I just thought that the school she applied to had a lower score and that my application was inappropriate.
Lingling's uncle is a local leader and usually does things in a high-profile manner. However, when his daughter was admitted to university, he did not hold a graduation party and did not mention the school she was admitted to.
At that time, it caused a lot of discussion among relatives. Later, my uncle got a promotion and left the small town. He rarely contacted people in his hometown for several years.
Lingling thought she was about to find out the truth, but suddenly encountered resistance.
In desperation, she chose to call the police, but this may not be a good choice.
The police intervened in the investigation, and the final result was: they admitted that the student status and household registration had been changed, but this did not prove that the household registration had been replaced by someone else.
I went to the Education Bureau to check the files, and the person in charge said that a batch of files were lost during the expansion two years ago. Many teachers' and students' files were missing, including Lingling's.
Therefore, Lingling could not find any concrete evidence to prove that her admission qualifications had been replaced by someone else.
The students who heard this story looked at each other and asked: What then?
And then? There weren’t so many “ands”. Life went on as usual. Lingling continued to farm at home, married a man from the neighboring village, and had children.
Her cousin, under her father's manipulation, changed all the information to Lingling's, including name, school record, photo, date of birth, etc.
He studied in college for three years under Lingling's name and was assigned to the education department to work in education after graduation.
It seemed that what was stolen was the admission letter, but in fact what was replaced was Lingling's brilliant life.
