In the yard, a lion dance team entered the yard in an orderly manner, with loud gongs and drums. The people who came in had happy expressions on their faces and shouted congratulations.
Wang Jinhua and Zhao Dezhong were talking and smiling among the crowd.
There were constant sounds of firecrackers outside the courtyard gate, and a banner was hung on the gate, "Warm congratulations to Comrade Meng Qidi for being admitted to university."
"Xiao Qi, come down quickly." Ling Hanfang shouted. Although the notice was delivered in another way, the sense of ceremony was still necessary.
Ling Xiao smiled, leaned slightly, and lowered his voice, "Congratulations, my college student?"
Meng Qidi pinched him lightly and walked away quickly.
"Congratulations to our university student Meng for being admitted to Jing City Agricultural University. You are the only university student in our village!"
Ling Hanfang's face was full of pride. In order to check the admission letter for Xiaoqi, he had gone through the entire town in the past few days, and found that less than five people were admitted to university.
The only one who received an admission letter from a university in Beijing was Xiaoqi from their village.
There was warm applause in the yard.
Meng Qidi pursed her lips and said, "Not only me, Ling Xiao was admitted to the military academy."
No matter how many points she scored in the university entrance exam, she would probably get an admission letter from the old man. But Ling Xiao was different. He got the admission letter directly.
"What is a military academy? Ling Xiao is so old, can he still go to college?"
Ling Tiansheng couldn't help asking, feeling sour in his heart, look at the third brother's family, the third brother is gone, and his son and daughter-in-law are so hardworking...
"Yeah, is the military academy a university? Don't criticize us."
Ling Xiao lowered his head and rubbed his nose gently. Is he old? Xiao Qi said it was just right.
Ling Hanfang smiled and said, "Military academies are really great. If someone like Ling Xiao, who has stayed in the army for six years, hadn't applied for a military academy, he would have to retire next year according to policy, but!"
Ling Hanfang paused, deliberately keeping the question in suspense.
Meng Qidi turned her head in surprise. He will be discharged next year? If she hadn't let Ling Xiao enter the military academy by mistake, he would have been discharged next year?
Now that Ling Xiao has gone to military school, doesn't that mean she has changed his fate?
"Don't you have to retire if you're admitted to a military academy?" Ling Tiansheng couldn't help but ask. If he had known this, he would not have given that quota to Ling Xiao when he was enlisting in the army.
Ling Hanfang smiled and said, "There are many twists and turns in the army. I don't know much. I just want to learn more about it during the conscription. Once you graduate from the military academy, you will be an officer. Ling Xiao, come and say a few words."
He also didn't expect that Ling Xiao also passed the exam, and he finally didn't have to worry about their family anymore.
Ling Xiao came down from above and stood beside Meng Qidi. He glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Thank you all for taking care of our family over the years. Our Xiao Qidi is the boss, so please don't make things difficult for her."
There was a mismatch between Ling Xiao's two sentences, but the villagers who came to join in the fun understood them.
At the beginning, Wang Po and her two sons were driven to the west of the village. Later, the eldest brother died and Ling Xiao went to the army. They bullied them from time to time. Ling Xiao was warning them.
Ling Tiansheng pursed his lips and turned away uncomfortably. He was the most brutal bully in their family.
Meng Qidi smiled faintly. Compared with Ling Xiao's hint, Meng Qidi was much more direct.
"Then I appreciate your care. Don't worry, I, Meng Qidi, usually seek revenge. Don't mess with me and we'll all be in peace."
Let the couple say something, but they were threatening each other. Ling Hanfang coughed lightly, "Ahem, that's enough, everyone go away."
"Wait a minute." Wang Jinhua said with a smile, "Thank you all for your care over the years. The day after tomorrow, our family will hold a college entrance examination banquet. I hope you will give me some face and let me have a grand banquet."
Compared with the couple's words, Wang Po's words were much better to hear. Everyone nodded and said goodbye.
Ling Xiao's family now has two college students and one is a military officer. Now they are completely powerful. Who dares to offend them?
After everyone dispersed, Ling Hanfang and his wife were about to go back, but Wang Jinhua grabbed them and insisted that they stay for dinner.
Ling Jinming hurried over after finishing his work.
After dinner, Old Man Zhao and Ling Hanfang sat under a tree and chatted and reminisced about the past, while Wang Jinhua and Wang Hexiang went to wash the dishes.
"Brother Xiao, you're finally back." Ling Jinming finally spoke to Ling Xiao at this moment.
Ling Xiao glanced at Meng Qidi, who was already leading Xiao Chengzi up the western hill, and handed him an envelope that he took out from somewhere.
"Jin Yue's letter to you, take a look at it yourself, then go back to your work. We'll wait and see."
Having said that, he headed west without looking back.
Jin Yue's? Ling Jinming didn't pay attention to what Xiao said, holding the envelope stupidly. It had been a month, and there was no news about his sister.
Ling Xiao didn't care what Ling Jinming thought and went straight to find Meng Qidi.
He finally comes back, who wants to talk to him? Wouldn’t it be nicer to talk to his wife?
"Why are you here?" Meng Qidi was holding a small hoe in her hand and was accompanying Xiao Chengzi in treasure hunting on the hilltop.
"Jin Ming said he was busy and there were a lot of things to do later. What are you doing? Can I join?" Ling Xiao walked over, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to squat down.
"Uncle, please move aside and don't step on me." The little girl said with disgust.
Ling Xiao paused, took a few steps back, and looked at Meng Qidi aggrievedly. Was he disliked by the little girl?
Meng Qidi glanced at his feet calmly, "That's the yam bean she found. It's right under your feet. Come over here."
There is a difference between yam beans and yam. Yam beans are similar to potatoes, while yams are large in size. Their nutritional values are similar. Yam beans nourish the spleen and stomach.
If Xiao Chengzi hadn't said there was a treasure here, she wouldn't have known there was such a thing on the hill.
But the little girl was talking about potatoes, and I guess she thought it was potatoes.
The little girl would know this, probably because she found it here when she had nothing to eat.
