The winter of 1977 was extremely long. There was not much joy on anyone's face at the New Year. Everyone was nervous and even more worried about their future fate.
"Why haven't you come yet...why haven't you come yet..."
They watched the postman anxiously, but he didn't give them what they wanted. A notice, a thin piece of paper, but it carried the fate of many people.
Everyone was feeling a sense of despair. The waiting was the most difficult and heartbreaking. No one knew what the future held, or where their fate would lead. Only the Shen family remained calm and composed.
Chen Yun is busy with his home clinic every day, Chen Feng is busy with handing over work, and Chen Yu is the most free and only needs to do things within his ability at home.
“Ding ding ding…”
The sound of the bicycle attracted everyone's attention, and everyone came out anxiously, but their repeated waiting was met with disappointment and loss.
"No letter for me yet?"
"Yes! No letters from us yet?"
The most needed and desired letter, everyone is looking forward to it.
"Yes... there are three notices today!" The postman suddenly laughed. He knew what everyone was thinking and what they wanted most.
"Three servings? Great, who wants one?"
"Yes! Whose is it?"
"Whose name?"
They stared at the postman with eager anticipation, hoping he'd reveal their answer. For so long, they'd been unsure what to do. If... they were given a glimmer of hope, would that mean a different outcome?
"Sunk clouds, sinking wind, sinking rain..."
“…”
In silence, but after a moment, everyone accepted this heavy fact. There was no way, they could not compare with those strong men, the strength of the Shen family siblings was too strong, completely crushing everyone.
"Let's go! Let's go congratulate them."
"Well, we in Xiashan Village also have three students who have passed the college entrance examination."
"Yes, I am very proud of myself."
Perhaps, before long, their admission letters would arrive. Everyone was filled with anticipation. They couldn't compare their schools to Chen Yun's, but as long as they were admitted, whether to a bachelor's or a junior college, it would be an honor. Deep down, they couldn't help but hope that one day, they would also receive such an admission letter.
"Well, we can definitely do it too. The notice is on the way."
"Yes...our notice is definitely on the way."
With such a heavy workload, I don't think it would be delivered in such a timely manner. It must be too slow, as their notice is still on the way.
"Let's go... Let's go to Shen Feng's house first and congratulate them on receiving their letters of acceptance."
I must witness them opening their papers to see what school and major they are in. If they are all admitted, will they also have hope? Everyone was reviewing and studying under the guidance of the three people. With this in mind, the group hugged each other and walked to Shen Feng's house.
"What...what happened?"
"Yeah? What's wrong? Is there...some emergency? Such a large team."
Walking through the village, the villagers were puzzled and asked one after another. Why is the group so large? Where are they going? Wasn't the bustling period over? Now... what's going on? What happened?
"The notices are coming... We are all delivering the notices now."
The person at the back answered the questions of the person pulling, and while speaking he pulled the person to join the team.
"Notice? Has the notice arrived?"
"Notification letter? Who was admitted?"
"Who else could it be? Chen Feng, Chen Yu, and Chen Yun, the three siblings, we have no chance of getting involved at all."
The people beside him were dejected, having to accept their fate of not being able to compare to others. Just look at the current notification letters, and you'll know that three of them were sent at the same time. They must be from the same school, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
“That really is the smoke from our ancestors.”
The voices of envy and jealousy kept rising and falling, and there were quite a few people who were jealous, but most of them just said sour words.
“In the future, I must discipline those brats more strictly. I won’t have to worry if they all learn a little from the Shen brothers and sisters.”
"That's right! You said, 'Birds of a feather flock together,' and my children are just hanging around with other people, so why can't they be a little smarter?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, a fire burning inside him, ready to burst into flames. Those brats of his needed a good lesson. They were all so clueless, like idiots, and they didn't even bother to learn from Chen Feng and the others. After all that training, they still weren't doing well. What was he supposed to do next?
"Afeng...you're back just in time. We were just about to go to your house."
The ding-ding bicycle bell caught everyone's attention, and when they saw the person on the bicycle, they exclaimed in surprise at their luck. This was Shen Feng, who had just returned from the county town and had caught someone red-handed.
"What's going on?" After getting off the car, Shen Feng looked at the villagers in confusion. This... This scene was really scary.
"Your notice has arrived, and your brothers and sisters' notices are here too..."
The person who said this was full of envy. Chen Chenfeng was really lucky to have four good children. He would have many opportunities to enjoy himself in the future.
"Really? Really?" Chen Feng himself was a little bit unbelievable. He really didn't expect that he would get the notice so soon and so suddenly.
"Come on, take a look! Which school is it? I remember you only filled in two schools."
"Yeah! Are you three siblings together?"
I remember Niuniu also applying to the same school. I wonder if they were accepted by the same school. If that were the case, it would be a miracle, something that would make people sigh.
"Let's go home and see! Let's go...we'll be home soon."
Seeing that they were only a few steps away from home, Shen Feng didn't decide to reveal the answer right at the door. He thought, "Go home and open it with your brothers and sisters. That way they can feel the surprise." His heart was pounding, and Shen Feng said he was very excited and needed to calm down quickly.
"Well, let's go along."
"Yes, let's also see what a notice is."
"That's right! We've never seen what a notice looks like, so it's worth it to be able to witness it in our lifetime."
The villagers were filled with emotion. No one could have imagined that the world would change so quickly. Now, life is getting better and better, and everyone is full of hope for the future.
"Well, you must see it. This moment is truly sacred."
"That's right, our Xiashan Village should be able to become famous around here this time!"
The three siblings of the Shen family are enough to make all the villages look down upon them. Not everyone has the ability and skills to be admitted to a successful university, especially a university in the capital.
