Qian Duoduo walked up to Qian Sheng with a smile and said, "Dad, let's go home. I bet Mom is getting impatient."
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "Wang Zhiqing, you are the person in charge of the educated youth institute. It's almost Chinese New Year. If you educated youth want to leave, come here tomorrow morning to get a certificate. However, if you want to transfer your household registration, you will have to wait until after the New Year. I went to a meeting at the commune yesterday, and the commune said that there will be a unified arrangement."
Wang Lin nodded somewhat sadly and said, "Okay, Captain, I will inform them."
Qian Sheng glared at the villagers still standing there and said, "What's wrong? Aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for me to feed you?"
The villagers chuckled and began to leave one after another.
Qian Sheng walked at the front, humming a folk song with his hands behind his back, followed by Qian Xiang and Guo Ni. Qian Duoduo walked at the very back, forced to eat a mouthful of dog food. She thought angrily: When I find a partner, I will definitely show off my love in front of these two every day and make them eat dog food every day!
When Qian Sheng returned home, he saw that everyone in his family was there, including his elder brother's family. Qian Yin and his wife Wu Qiaoling had also rushed back.
Qian Cai said, "I asked the third brother to call the second brother and his wife back. I was waiting at home, and I was getting anxious, so I came here."
Qian Sheng laughed and said, "Brother, our family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
Upon hearing this, Qian Cai immediately asked, "Did you win?"
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "Hehe, your wife Qian Xiang and my Duo Duo both won, and they even go to the same school, so they can keep each other company."
Upon hearing this, Qian Cai immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Great! Great!"
When Zhen Qiao, who was at the very back, heard that Guo Ni had actually passed the exam, she was stunned. How easy were the questions? She passed on her first try?
Qian Xiang smiled as he looked at Guo Ni's excited face. He hadn't seen her like this in a long time. In the past, he only saw her excited when she caught a pheasant or rabbit in the mountains. He wondered if his wife was so happy and if they could have a way to celebrate tonight.
He Ying smiled and pulled Guo Ni, saying, "Great job, eldest daughter-in-law! I knew you were capable. Look, you passed the exam in one go. If this were in the past, wouldn't you have been a female scholar?"
Jin Jinxiu smiled as she looked at the little girl who was clinging to her arm, and whispered, "Do you think it's a bit of an exaggeration for Mother to throw a big banquet?"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "It is a bit of an exaggeration, but it should be fine for our family to celebrate."
Jin Jinxiu said, "Your third brother should be back tomorrow. Let him buy some meat and vegetables, and I'll cook something nice for you."
Qian Duoduo nodded immediately.
Chen Runan stepped forward with a smile: "Duoduo, congratulations!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law! Mom said she's going to make something delicious today, you're in for a treat!"
He Ying smiled and said, "Jinxiu, look, your Duoduo got into university, and my Guo Ni also got into university. It's a double celebration for us."
I was thinking of having our two families host a dinner party, what do you think?
Jin Jinxiu was also tempted. She looked at Qian Sheng and said, "I really have this idea, but will it affect my husband and Qian Mao?"
He Ying was also taken aback when she heard Jin Jinxiu's words. In their family, only Qian Xiang was a squad leader, but Qian Sheng was the village's brigade leader, and Qian Mao even worked at the county committee.
She immediately said, "Okay, you can ask the child's second uncle and Qian Mao later. If it's possible, our two families can hold one together."
Jin Jinxiu nodded, looking at Qian Duoduo who was looking at the admission notice with Guo Ni, and said, "The two of them are really destined to be together."
Back when Xiao Guo, a former educated youth, moved out of the educated youth compound, she lived on the same kang (heated brick bed) as Duo Duo. Later, Xiao Guo married Qian Xiang from your family, and we became a family.
Now they've both been admitted to the same university, the same one! What a coincidence!
He Ying smiled and said, "Of course! This is fate. We're all family!" The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and laughed.
The next day, the educated youth who had received their acceptance letters went to the brigade headquarters to get letters of introduction from the brigade leader. They wanted to go home with the good news to celebrate the New Year, and then return to transfer their household registration after the New Year.
Qian Sheng looked at these city kids who had lived in Beian Village for many years and didn't say much. He just opened the letter of introduction and said "Congratulations".
Liu Wan saw Tan Jian return happily with the letter of introduction, and walked up to him, asking, "Tan Jian, are you going home?"
Tan Jian nodded and said, "Yes."
Liu Wan looked at him with tender eyes and asked softly, "Aren't you going to wait for me? I'd like to meet your family."
Tan Jian's heart skipped a beat. He said, "I haven't told my family about us yet. I'll tell them when I go back this time." After saying that, he went back to the male educated youth's dormitory.
He was very impatient with this woman. She always thought she had something on him and wanted him to do this and that for her. When her mother came, she would never have admitted to being in a relationship in front of so many people in the village if it weren't for wanting to keep their affair a secret. Especially now that he could go back to the city, who cared about a woman like her?
Liu Wan gritted her teeth as she looked at the male educated youth's dormitory. She hadn't received her admission notice yet and couldn't leave with him. Although she had doubts about her chances of getting into university, at least there was still a glimmer of hope, wasn't there?
If even someone like Tan Jian can get into a junior college, why can't I?
