On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Tiansen went to work. Linglong took Congcong to pay New Year's greetings to Aunt Tong. After that, she went back to work in the cafeteria.
There are no theoretical rest days in the army.
Soldiers have to eat every day, and the canteen has to be open every day to cook.
However, Linglong and the others can now take turns to have a few days off every month, and she is already very content.
When she arrived at work, she exchanged greetings with everyone and then started to get busy.
Sister Niu was nagging as she cleaned up the vegetables. "Linglong, I don't know how much longer you can work here. After the New Year, are you going to college?"
"I don't know either. I haven't received the admission letter yet, so I'm not sure if I can get in." Although her score was high, what if something unexpected happened?
"You took so many exams but still didn't learn the language, so there must be something fishy going on." Sister Niu swore.
Yes, how long will it take for the admission letter to arrive?
It's already October now, and all universities will probably start school after the Chinese New Year. Could something unexpected have happened?
Before the fifth day of the New Year, Linglong and her family had very good food.
There are many rituals for the fifth day of the New Year.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there was still no news about the admission notice. This time Linglong was really anxious.
Among the people in the army who took the exam this time, there was one who passed. He received the admission notice on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year.
But she said, it never came.
Seeing that she was becoming more and more anxious, Zheng Tiansen took the initiative to speak at night.
"Linglong, how about I go to the post office in town tomorrow and ask and check."
"Will it be too much trouble?"
"Going to college is so important, how can you say it's a hassle?"
"Forget it, let's wait a couple of days. If it's not ready, I'll ask."
"All right then."
Because she couldn't get the admission letter, Linglong had no appetite for the next two days.
The eighth day of the first lunar month.
Linglong was working absent-mindedly in the cafeteria.
The quartermaster walked in happily with someone.
"Linglong, your admission letter has arrived!"
"Really?" She stood up immediately.
Behind her, the postman came to deliver the package to her personally.
"This admission letter was mailed out during the holiday before the New Year, so it was a bit slow on the way. By the time it got here, there was a huge backlog. I only saw it yesterday afternoon. Knowing you must be anxious, I rushed it over right away."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Linglong bowed repeatedly.
"Here, sign."
"good."
After the signature was completed and it was brought over, Linglong opened it and saw the admission letter with the prefix "㱕" of Renmin University written on it. She looked at everyone with tears and laughter.
"I was admitted to Renmin University. I was admitted. I can go to college now!"
"Linglong, I told you there's nothing wrong with you."
"Master, you are amazing."
"Linglong, good job."
Everyone was happy for her.
In the corner, I thought Linglong had no school to go to. I was happy for a few days, but Sister Yuan's face turned gloomy again.
"Linglong, the admission letter is such an important thing, please send it home quickly. You don't have to go to work anymore."
Except for Sister Yuan, no one had any objection to Linglong leaving early.
After receiving the admission letter, Linglong became different from them.
It will be impossible for me to work in their cafeteria again.
Even if they don't understand, they know that Renmin University of China is a good university.
Linglong didn't insist. The cafeteria kitchen was filled with either fumes or water, and she was also afraid of getting her admission letter dirty.
After thanking everyone, she excitedly returned home with the admission letter.
She first went to the Tong family and showed the admission letter to Aunt Tong.
Aunt Tong carefully touched the letter, feeling deeply moved. "This is the letter from university! It looks different. If you take it home, you must treat it well."
Linglong burst out laughing. "Auntie, I have to take my letter of admission to college with me. I can't just leave it at home."
"Is that so?" Aunt Tong smiled and looked at Congcong beside her. "Congcong, you must follow your mother's lead and study hard. Go to school and learn knowledge. Then you can go to university and become a promising person."
"Congcong, I just hope he grows up healthy and happy." Linglong smiled gently.
"You and Tiansen are both excellent, and Congcong will not be any worse in the future. Alas, you are going to college now, so you will have to separate from Tiansen in the future."
"Auntie, I've already made an appointment with Tiansen."
"So you guys won't be having kids in a few years, right?"
"No, otherwise it will be inconvenient for school."
"Fortunately, you're not too old. It won't hurt to do it a few years later."
That's right, Linglong hasn't even turned ten yet. Even if she finishes college, she will only be fourteen or fifteen. It won't be too late to prepare for pregnancy by then.
Good news always spreads quickly. Zheng Tiansen knew that his wife had received the admission letter from Renmin University before he even got off work.
When he got home, he saw Linglong had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
"Are you planning to celebrate?"
"Yes, to celebrate that I received the acceptance letter." Linglong said with a happy smile.
"That's time to celebrate."
He brought out a bottle of wine, and the couple had a few drinks.
At night, there is infinite charming scenery.
The next day, Linglong went to the cafeteria again, and the quartermaster called her over immediately.
"Linglong, when will school start?"
"The eighteenth day of the first lunar month."
"It's getting late. You definitely won't be doing this kind of cafeteria work anymore. Let's just go through the formalities."
Although she had prepared herself mentally, Linglong was still reluctant to leave the place where she had worked for so long.
Fortunately, she would not come again. When the school was on vacation, she would still be able to come to the cafeteria to see everyone. Thinking of this, she felt a lot better.
After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, she was about to leave when Sister Niu stopped her.
"Linglong, can you leave a few of the books you have read for my boy?" asked Sister Niu.
"Of course you can, Sister Niu, bring him to my house and pick him out before I leave."
"Okay, okay, I'll bring him to your house tomorrow." It just so happened that his son was on vacation.
Linglong is a college graduate now, and she has to let her son experience the cultural atmosphere of a university graduate and strive to get into college in the future.
If Sister Niu hadn't mentioned it, Linglong would have forgotten what to do with her books.
Thinking that her sister-in-law Tianxin in Beijing still had to review for the exam, she thought she could bring some to Beijing, but she didn't know if Tianxin needed it.
After all, the money she uses now is basically mailed from the capital.
Sister Niu brought her son here early after work and picked out some books and review materials from Linglong.
When Zheng Tiansen came over in the evening, Linglong asked if she wanted to leave some for Zheng Tianxin.
Zheng Tiansen just said that he would call to ask, and it happened that he had not yet told his family that Linglong had received the admission letter.
After saying this, the two began to discuss setting off to the capital.
