After Uncle Xia walked around and notified everyone he needed to, he went home with a smile on his face. On the way, someone stopped him and said,
"Why are you so happy today? Did something good happen? Look at the smile on your face that won't fade away."
Uncle Xia looked at those people and said happily: "My daughter has been admitted to university. Of course I am happy."
Uncle Xia discussed with them again here, and after a while he went home with a sad heart, as he still had something to talk to his father about.
…
Two days later
That day, Grandpa Xia was busy in the fields. Although the wheat had been harvested, there was still a lot of things to do afterwards.
The land needs to be tidyed up and then corn needs to be planted, so we can't just sit back and relax after the wheat is harvested.
You're busy doing your work, just listening, and then someone yells:
"Uncle Xia, Uncle Xia, please stop being busy. A messenger has arrived at the village entrance and is looking for your Xiaojin."
After hearing this, Grandpa Xia looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man running towards him in a hurry.
Oh my, even though he is old, his eyes are still very good. He recognized who it was at a glance. He said loudly to the man:
"Yan An, why did the postman come to see our Xia Jin? Is there a letter for her? Come over and tell me in detail."
While he was talking, the man ran over and looked at Grandpa Xia. He paused, swallowed, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly:
"I'm not sure. I was halfway through over there when I ran over to inform you, so I didn't hear it. I don't know what he wanted to do with your Xiaojin."
He was originally standing under a tree, watching his younger brother playing with the children in the village. Suddenly, the postman came and he was there and saw him so he walked over.
Then he asked and found out that the person was looking for Xia Jin. After hearing the name Xia Jin, he hurried over to inform Grandpa Xia, so he didn't know why the person came.
Seeing that he didn't know anything, Grandpa Xia sighed helplessly. This kid is still like this, so impulsive.
"Forget it, I'll go to the village entrance and collect the money for her, saving Xiaojin from having to go out."
After Grandpa Xia finished speaking, he picked up his hoe and walked towards the village entrance. Uncle Xia continued to work in the fields, but Father Xia also followed his father.
After all, it was about his daughter, so he had to follow and see what happened.
Not long after he left, he suddenly remembered and said:
"Dad, do you think Xiaojin's notice has arrived? That's why the postman said he wanted to see Xiaojin."
"Otherwise, you say we are all at home, who would write to her? Her elder and second brothers haven't left yet."
When Grandpa Xia heard his son's words, he was a little excited. It was about the notice, but he still said:
"Xiao Jin doesn't just have our family. She also has the factory and the shop she had before. Maybe something happened to her that made her write to him."
He said this just to prevent his expectations from being too high. What if it wasn't an admission letter? He would definitely be disappointed, so it's better to be prepared early.
As the saying goes, there is no disappointment without expectation. Anyway, they already know from Gu Jingmo that Xia Jin’s admission to this university is a sure thing, so there is no need to be too nervous.
Even so, he was still very much looking forward to it. He felt that what his son said might be right. This was the admission letter.
When he thought of this, he felt extremely excited, as if he was back to the time when he learned that Xia Jin was admitted to university.
His pace became faster and faster. Although he was an old man, he left the other two people far behind.
Father Xia watched his father walking faster and faster, and hurried to catch up with the two of them. He jogged for a while before he caught up with Grandpa Xia.
"Uncle Xia, I heard that the admission letter must be collected in person. If it's really a letter, I'm afraid it won't work for you two to go."
The man walked beside Xia's father and said to him.
After hearing what he said, Father Xia thought about it and it seemed to be true. Although no one in their village had received it, he heard from people in the town that it seemed that they did have to go there in person to collect it.
Apart from the person himself, even his family members are not allowed. Even if you have someone from the village who can prove that they are his family members, it is still not allowed because of the fear that something bad will happen.
What if they took the admission letter with bad intentions and hid it or even tore it up? Then all the hard work of getting into the university would be ruined.
It’s not that there aren’t such parents. Some parents wish their children would stay by their side and not run so far away.
They are afraid that once they go out, their children's hearts will become wild and unfilial. If they are unfilial, what will happen to them in their old age?
Therefore, some people will ruin their children's bright future for their own selfish interests.
So Father Xia said to him, "Yan An, go to your uncle's house and help your uncle tell your sister to come to the village entrance to pick up the letter."
Although he wasn't sure what it was, Father Xia thought it would be better to keep something in reserve early on. After all, he had a hunch that this time it was really a notice for me.
After all, a lot of time has passed, and they are not far from the capital. Even if it was sent, it should have arrived by now. If it is not sent, something bad will happen to them on the road to Xincun.
Even if she doesn't have to make the trip, there's no loss. It's a letter for her after all, so it's better to let her come and receive it in person.
After hearing this, the man nodded happily and said, "I'll go there right away once I know."
"But uncle, could it really be an acceptance letter? I haven't seen what it looks like yet. I must take a good look at it later."
Father Xia looked at his impatient look, smiled and said, "You can take a look, but you can only take a look. You are not allowed to touch you. Otherwise, if you break it, Xiaojin won't be able to go to school."
After all, we should always be on guard against others. They may appear to be good on the surface, but who knows what they are like inside?
After all, everyone has jealousy in their heart. What if they do something irrational because of momentary jealousy?
They might just be impulsive for a moment, but if their daughter is really ruined, the admission letter will mean she won't be able to go to college, which will ruin her life.
So in order to prevent it from being ruined, just don't let others get it. They can only look at it and can't touch it. What if someone gets jealous?
