"That's right. We are all from the same village. How could we not know if others don't know? Back then, you lived a very hard life just to let Xiaojin go to school."
"Your house is leaking so badly, and you're not willing to spend money to fix it. You're also living on coarse food all day long, and you can't even bear to eat white flour buns."
"Looking at you like that back then, we all felt pity for you, but now everything is fine. After all the hardship, happiness has finally come. Your happiness is still to come."
"Yes, after you finish college, I'll go to the city and find a job, and then I'll bring you all to the capital. Then you can enjoy a comfortable life like that landlord."
Grandpa Xia looked at his disappointing second son, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Second brother, today is such an important day, you can't embarrass the young lady. Stop crying. If you want to cry, go home and cry. What will it look like to be seen by everyone?"
"Your daughter got into college, you can't wait to be happy, why are you crying? Our family's hard times are over."
"I believe I don't blame you. He treated you very well despite not caring about you all those years. Why do you keep bringing up these things and making things difficult for him?"
"Dad, I can't help it. Everyone sees my daughter getting into college and all the glory, but who knows how much hardship she went through to get there?"
"I didn't expect that he had suffered so much and endured so many difficulties behind the scenes that we didn't know about. I couldn't help but want to cry."
Grandpa Xia looked at his son and said, "No matter how much I say, there's no way to make up for what happened in the past. If you really think your daughter has suffered, then wait for me to make amends to her as much as I can in the future."
"I know."
After Xia Yanbing saw that his second uncle had stopped crying, he quickly jumped out and said:
"Uncle, uncle, have you finished reading it? I also want to see my sister's notice. I haven't seen it yet."
Looking at the person who jumped to his side, Father Xia said with a helpless smile: "Stinky boy."
Then he handed him the notice in his hand. Seeing him take it clumsily, Father Xia quickly said:
"Go slower and don't break it. If you do, your sister won't be able to go to college. Then I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
"I know, I know. I will be very careful and will definitely not damage it. Don't worry."
As he said this, he took it to his elder brother and others and looked at the notice with them.
When the people around saw the Bodhisattva crying, they also gathered around to congratulate them. Especially the village chief stood over and was the first to say to them:
"Congratulations on having such a capable child in your family. Look forward to enjoying happiness in the future."
"This is also an honor for our Xiajiadianzi Village. If any child in the village doesn't like studying anymore, just bring up the young lady's affairs and tell her about it."
"Also, when we go to the town for meetings or something, I'll be able to hold my head high. After all, our village is the only one in the area to have a college student. Let's see what they can compare with me."
After hearing what the village chief said, Grandpa Xia said, "We are all from the same village. Although our child was admitted to university, he is also a native of this village."
"It's just that the younger kids should study hard. Look at our two older kids. They didn't study hard, so they suffered. Now they have to learn all over again when they go out to work."
"I'm much slower than others, but no matter what, I should study hard. There's nothing wrong with that. In the future, those who study well will definitely have a better future than those who don't."
After the director finished speaking, he was pushed aside by others. People around him congratulated them one after another. On the next page, he only heard congratulations from the left and the right.
Looking up, I saw smiling faces everywhere in the village, and children were running around them, laughing and making noises.
At this time, those carefree children did not know that their hellish days were coming, and the happier they were now, the more painful they would be later.
Ever since I became a college student here, the parents in the village have been very excited. Before, I didn’t like studying, but my parents didn’t care much because I could still come back to farm.
But since the emergence of college students, perhaps it is due to the competitive mentality. How can I not study? I don’t do well in exams and am often forced to play in mixed doubles.
After all, all parents in the world want their sons to become successful and their daughters to become outstanding. Who doesn't want their children to be good? No matter from which aspect, those who have been to school are better than these peasants.
So from now on, if a child complains that he doesn't want to go to school, he will always be beaten by his parents. At this time, no matter how many times the child is beaten, there will generally be no problem.
If a child is good at studying, he will definitely become the public enemy of all the children in the village.
But their parents are definitely the envy of the village, because if their children study well, it means that they are very likely to be admitted to university.
Then after graduation, I will definitely have a stable job, which is definitely better than those of us who are not good at studying and get fired.
…
It has been three days since he received the admission notice. During these three days, there were always people coming to his house to congratulate him or to ask him for advice on how to study.
Anyway, during these three days, their door was never closed. One person left, another came, or a group of people came at once.
We are all from the same village, so it’s hard to refuse. I can only suppress my impatience and think about talking to them.
However, those who came did not have any bad intentions. They simply thought that good things had happened to their family and came to congratulate them, or they wanted to learn from them for their grandchildren and sons.
So no matter how impatient he was, he didn't drive them out. After all, nothing had happened to hurt him. We were all from the same village, so he couldn't make things so awkward.
Xia Jin woke up very early this morning because she wanted to go with her grandfather and others to see the big market here.
They were also going there to prepare some ingredients for tomorrow's graduation banquet, mainly to buy meat.
Other vegetables are available in the village. If you don’t have enough at home, just tell them and pick them from their yard.
But meat is not sold in their village. Generally, villages would slaughter pigs, but only during the Chinese New Year. In those days, no one could slaughter pigs and sell meat all day long.
Even if someone slaughters pigs once a month, it's fine, but if they kill them once a week or every day, no one will buy them, after all, no one has much money.
Those who are rich are reluctant to spend money because, after all, they have experienced poverty before and are afraid of what would happen if the same thing happened again, so they always save money and are reluctant to spend it.
