When Su Qingyun and Qin Ying returned to the village, they heard congratulations all the way. They returned home expressing their gratitude.
"The news spread too fast." After returning home, Qin Ying rubbed her face, which had become stiff from smiling, and said.
"Our village isn't big, but it's not small either. If this gets spread ten to ten, ten to a hundred, then everyone will know about it, right?" Li Xiulian said with a smile. "Congratulations, Yingzi."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Zhang Xinlan looked at Qin Ying with a complicated look. There was a subtle sense of envy, jealousy, unwillingness, and resignation in her eyes. This look was nothing else but the envy of one woman for another.
As the daughter-in-law of the Su family, she actually often fantasized about how great it would be if she was like Qin Ying, knowledgeable, good-looking, and had a good family background. But fantasy is fantasy after all. After all, she is just an ordinary woman with an ordinary background and is not comparable to Qin Ying at all.
Zhang Xinlan only took a glance and then looked away. Her husband treated her well, her son and daughter-in-law were filial, and her grandson was born. She should be content with her current life. Those unrealistic fantasies were just fantasies after all.
Qin Ying glanced at the dishes being cooked in the kitchen and her eyes widened. "Is today Chinese New Year?"
"How can the New Year be compared to today?" Su Aimin said with a smile, "As soon as you left this morning, Mom asked me to go to town to buy these meat and vegetables. She knew you would bring back good news."
Qin Ying immediately turned to look at Wu Guixiang, "Thank you, mother."
"Thank you, grandma." Su Qingyun also said with a smile.
Wu Guixiang held her in her arms, looking at her with eyes that hurt as if her own eyes were hurting, "Our Yunyun is really amazing!"
She didn't know what to say, she just felt that Yunyun was a treasure given to their family by God.
"What a good treasure of milk."
"You are also a treasure." Su Qingyun replied.
The grandparents and grandchildren rubbed against each other affectionately, giving everyone else goosebumps.
"Grandma, where is my grandpa?" Su Qingyun asked when she didn't see Su Dalin.
"Your grandfather went to see your uncle Youfu. He wanted to ask about our Su family's genealogy and see if he can continue writing from you?" Wu Guixiang said lightly, as if it was a matter of course.
After hearing that Su Qingyun won the top spot, Su Dalin was silent for a full five minutes and then went out.
Su Qingyun was embarrassed for a moment. This couldn't be true, could it? Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Half an hour later, she knew it, it really was that serious.
"Youfu said that, not only our Su family's genealogy, but even our village's genealogy can have a separate page for Yunyun." Su Dalin came back with a rosy face, and it was obvious that he was extremely happy.
The others seemed to be hesitant to speak, and they didn't dare to say anything more when they saw Su Dalin's happy expression, although they also felt it was too exaggerated.
Lunch had just been prepared and had not yet been served when Su Aiguo and Su Aidang, who had gone up the mountain to try their luck, came back. They took out a pheasant from the covered backpack behind them, with excitement on their faces.
"Maybe it was too cold. There wasn't much game on the mountain. We searched for a long time but couldn't find any. Just as we were about to go down the mountain, we saw this pheasant. Its foot was entangled and it was lying there, almost frozen to death."
"You are lucky." Wu Guixiang looked at the pheasant and was very satisfied. "My dear wife, kill the chicken after dinner and marinate it with salt. We will eat this one during the New Year."
"good."
A large table of dishes was placed on the table, and the richness was so great that everyone was drooling. Today's meal was really better than during the Chinese New Year.
"My dear, please say a few words." Before picking up her chopsticks, Wu Guixiang looked at Su Dalin. Usually, in such very important occasions, she would let Su Dalin speak.
Su Dalin pondered for a moment, "Today, our Su family has another great event. Our Yunyun won the top spot in the college entrance examination in our province."
"And the third son's wife also got good grades. This is a great event for our Su family, and everyone should be happy!"
"Of course we are happy. Which family can have two college students at once?" Li Xiu Lian took over the conversation. She now hopes that her granddaughter will grow up and study hard and go to college like her aunt, and become a promising person.
Zhang Xinlan thought for a moment and said, "Now it seems that Yunyun and Yingzi's going to Beijing to study is a foregone conclusion. Third brother, what about you?"
She looked at Su Aimin. Both mother and daughter went to college, what would happen to the third child?
"Me what?" Su Aimin said without hesitation, "Of course I'm going with you."
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened. "You're not going to school."
Su Aimin was speechless, "If I don't go to school, I can't go, right?"
Ever since Su Qingyun and her mother were preparing to take the college entrance exam together, Su Aimin had made plans. At that time, he would go to Beijing in advance to look at houses. With the savings he had now, he should be able to buy a smaller house.
"That's not what I meant. I meant how are you going to live in Beijing?" Zhang Xinlan still didn't understand.
Su Aimin glanced at her and said slowly, "For a top student like Yunyun, the school has various reward policies. Maybe they can arrange a job for me. Then I can have a dormitory to live in."
Of course he couldn't say something like he wanted to buy a house in front of his family. He wasn't crazy.
However, he did not arrange jobs without purpose. Su Aimin remembered that before, when that place wanted Yunyun to work, it said that it could arrange jobs for their parents.
Zhang Xinlan opened her mouth, she didn't expect there was such a thing.
"You got this job thanks to your daughter, and you're feeling proud of it, right?" Wu Guixiang looked at Su Aimin and said unhappily.
Other girls rely on their fathers, but he relies on his own daughter.
"Of course I'm proud of it." Su Aimin was not ashamed, but proud, raising his head proudly, "After all, no one else is as good as my daughter!"
“…”
The family was speechless.
"Eat, eat." Wu Guixiang greeted everyone, "Such delicious food will get cold soon. Come, Yunyun, have a big chicken drumstick first."
"Thank you, grandma."
Wu Guixiang paused, then passed another chicken leg to Qin Ying, "Third wife, you have one too."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the whole family and said, "This is a chicken drumstick that only people who have been admitted to university can eat. Don't have any objections."
Two chicken legs and two college students, just right.
"Thank you, mother."
Li Xiu Lian, "Of course, Mom, you've worked so hard recently, you should eat a chicken leg to replenish your body." They saw how hard Yingzi worked during this period and how seriously Yunyun tutored other candidates, so naturally they had no objections.
Zhang Xinlan was about to cry when she saw the fragrant chicken leg. She could only eat chicken legs if she got into college. That meant she would never have a chance to eat chicken legs in her life, right?
