Chapter 327 Tsinghua University and Peking University, these two brothers are so awesome!
Poxin Village.
Zhang family.
Zhang's mother looked at her daughter who had suddenly returned in surprise and asked, "Xiuping, why did you come back by yourself? Where are Yuntai and the child?"
Zhang Xiuping stuffed the various gifts in her hand into her mother's hands and said with a smile, "Xiao Dong'er's third uncle won the science championship in Guangxi in the college entrance examination this year. My father-in-law will hold a banquet in the village in three days to celebrate. I came back specially to invite you."
Zhang's mother, who received the gift, widened her eyes instantly after hearing this, and said in shock, "Oh my God, my child's uncle is the top scorer in science in Guangxi?"
If it were in the past, Zhang's mother might not understand what the Guangxi science champion represented, but since the second son of her in-laws was admitted to Peking University, and after being educated by her daughter and son-in-law, she has fully understood the significance of being admitted to Peking University.
Just last year, my child’s second uncle graduated from Peking University and got a job at a level equivalent to that of the secretary or mayor of Longtan. This is really amazing.
As for the top student in science in Guangxi, needless to say, he must have been selected randomly from universities across the country.
Zhang's mother was shocked and extremely envious that the family had two such outstanding college students.
She has five children, but not one of them is in high school. The gap compared to her in-laws is too big.
Seeing her mother's shocked expression, Zhang Xiuping said proudly, "Yes, I got first place in the science exam in Guangxi."
Zhang's mother praised him endlessly, saying, "Amazing, really amazing! Your father-in-law's children are really destined to study!"
Zhang Xiuping sighed with some worry, "I don't know if Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi will have the same fate of studying as their second and third uncles."
Zhang's mother put the gifts away and said, "They have been educated in the county since they were young. It's better than living in the countryside. As for whether they have the same fate as their second and third uncles, we will know in the future. There is no point in worrying about it now."
"That's true. Anyway, the study environment of the siblings is much better than when we were young. If they still can't get into college, then there's nothing I can do."
Zhang Xiuping found a stool and sat down, then asked, "Where are my dad and his family at the factory?"
Zhang's mother nodded and said, "It's at the factory. How many tables does your father-in-law plan to set up for this college party?"
Zhang Xiuping said, "My father-in-law has invited all relatives, friends, and clan members this time. He wants to set up a three-day buffet and prepare enough food and wine. No matter who comes, they can eat. He has also invited the county theater troupe to perform. If you want to watch it, you have to prepare in advance."
Zhang's mother was shocked and said, "It's such a big event. We have a buffet for three consecutive days. This must cost a lot of money!"
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "It's rare that my father-in-law is so happy, so spending this little money is nothing."
Zhang's mother couldn't help but sigh, "The world is changing so fast. A few years ago, when people got married, they only had three or four tables, and the food was mostly vegetarian and few meat dishes. Now, being able to attend a wedding banquet like this is such a joyous thing, because you can have a good meal.
But now, your father-in-law is going to hold a three-day buffet, and anyone can come and eat. The difference is really huge!"
Zhang Xiuping shook her head and said, "Mom, it's not the world that's changing fast, it's my father-in-law's family that's changing fast. Take our Poxin Village for example, aren't there still many families living in hardship? Just like my fourth brother's family, let alone eating meat, they probably have to think twice before even having a meal, and they usually eat porridge and grains."
"That's true. If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be doing very well right now."
At this point, Zhang's mother asked again: "Which university did the child's uncle choose? Is he going to Peking University like his second brother?"
"No, the child's uncle chose Tsinghua University."
"Tsinghua University is also very good. Like Peking University, it is one of the best universities. No wonder your father-in-law is so happy. Both of his sons have been admitted to the best universities in the country. They may become high-ranking officials in the future. This is really a great honor for the family!"
"Now we have brought honor to our family!"
…
When they learned that the clan leader's third son had been admitted to Tsinghua University and even became the top scorer in science in Guangxi this year, the entire Deng clan of Naye was completely excited! "Oh my God, Uncle Yunsong is so amazing. He got the first place in Guangxi!"
"Uncle Yunheng was admitted to Peking University, and now Uncle Yunsong has been admitted to Tsinghua University. This really brings honor to our Deng family!"
"My kid's academic performance is pretty good, but I don't know how difficult it is to get first place in the class, let alone first place in Guangxi. Uncle Yunsong is really amazing!"
"It seems that the ancestral hall of our Nanye Deng family is really well built. It has just been built, and our Nanye Deng's descendants have been admitted to Tsinghua University, and they were admitted with the first place in Guangxi. It is really the blessing of our ancestors!"
"What you said does make sense. The clan leader contributed the most to rebuilding the ancestral hall, donating more than 370,000 yuan. Now his son has been admitted to Tsinghua University. This may really be related. If I had known earlier, I would have donated more money. I wonder if I can make up for it now?"
"It seems that I have donated too little. If I can make up for it, I would like to donate more. I hope that our ancestors can bless the boys in our family. I don't ask them to be admitted to Tsinghua University like Uncle Yunsong, but as long as they can be admitted to a technical secondary school, I will be satisfied!"
"Yes, let's ask the ancestral hall council to see if we can make up the donation. The more I think about it, the more I feel that our Naye Deng family's ancestors are truly efficacious."
“…”
The style of this painting has become a little off track.
Even in later generations, there are still many people in rural areas who believe in these supernatural things, let alone in this era.
Many members of the clan did not know that Deng Yunsong had been ranked first in his grade since high school. It seemed as if this first place in Guangxi came out of nowhere. And it just so happened that the clan’s ancestral hall was being rebuilt, so these two things were naturally connected together.
…
The explosive news that he was admitted to Tsinghua University with the first place in Guangxi caused a sensation not only in the Deng family of Naye, but also in the entire Shuangwang Township.
Especially when they found out that this prospective Tsinghua student was the younger brother of the Peking University student a few years ago, they all exclaimed in disbelief.
In this day and age when college students are still rare, parents would kill a chicken to pay homage to their ancestors if they had an ordinary technical secondary school student, let alone two college students from the best universities in the country. The sensation that would be caused is truly unimaginable to future generations.
In short, from now on, Deng Yunheng and Deng Yunsong, the two brothers who were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, are role models for all younger students in Shuangwang Township. When their parents educate them, they must always mention these two role models.
…
Three days later.
Deng Shirong worshipped his ancestors and set up a buffet at his home.
Originally, he was going to prepare the ingredients himself, but before he could start shopping, the tribesmen came over spontaneously carrying chickens, ducks, geese and various vegetarian dishes.
Even many tribesmen drove their own pigs over, not giving Deng Shirong a chance to refuse. The old tribe leader Deng Shian ordered the tribesmen to start slaughtering pigs, chickens, ducks and geese.
Seeing this scene, Deng Shirong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also extremely pleased. The tribesmen were united, grateful, generous and not petty. He was naturally willing to lead such tribesmen to become rich.
On the contrary, if the people you lead are all selfish and stingy, then it would be meaningless.
Since it was a gesture of kindness from his clansmen, Deng Shirong accepted it, especially the family that drove the pigs here, and he kept them in mind, and naturally would not treat them unfairly in the future.
Although there were many people coming to eat, they were not many real relatives and friends. The others brought their own ingredients and bowls and chopsticks, plus clansmen who helped with the chores, so Deng Shirong didn't have to worry too much about this buffet. He only had to entertain a small number of guests.
On the first day of the banquet, the secretary and head of Shuangwang Township Government came with a group of government officials to have a drink.
The leaders of this township government are equivalent to the former commune leaders, and are considered high-ranking officials in the eyes of the rural people. Their collective arrival naturally makes the tribesmen feel proud.
After some greetings, Deng Shirong invited all the leaders to the living room. The long table he had specially built before could accommodate many people for dining together, and it was now put to use.
Since both parties were interested in making friends, the meal was naturally a great success for both the host and the guests.
Before leaving, Secretary Lin said to today's protagonist Deng Yunsong: "Student Deng Yunsong, after you arrive at Tsinghua University, you must study harder and become a pillar of the country, bringing glory to the motherland and the people of your hometown."
Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "Thank you for the encouragement, I promise not to slack off in my studies and strive to contribute a little to the country and the people of my hometown."
The township head also came over and said, "Deng Yunsong, you and your second brother Deng Yunheng are the only two students in Shuangwang Township who have been admitted to top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. You both have a bright future that we can hardly imagine. In the future, we really count on you to lead the people of your hometown out of poverty and into prosperity."
Deng Yunsong responded modestly: "You are too kind. I feel obliged to contribute to my hometown, but I am afraid I cannot shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing my hometown. I still have a lot to learn from you leaders, and I also believe that my hometown will get better and better under your leadership."
All the leaders of the township government were amazed when they heard his words. He is worthy of being the top scorer in science in Guangxi this year. What he said is really flawless. He is born to be a government official. With such impressive academic qualifications, he will have a bright future!
Other township leaders also exchanged a few words with Deng Yunsong before bidding farewell to Deng Shirong together.
"Uncle Jiu, we'll leave first!"
"Okay, leaders, take care!"
…
After that, the buffet banquet that lasted for three consecutive days made the entire Naye Deng family as happy as if it were New Year’s Day.
Eating, drinking and watching TV shows at the same time is the most comfortable enjoyment for rural people in this era.
After organizing the university wine party, Deng Shirong took some time to purchase a batch of jackfruits and longans. The quantity was not much different from last year, and he only had a few thousand yuan left. By the time he had finished all these things, Deng Yunsong's admission letter from Tsinghua University had arrived.
A few years ago, when Deng Yunheng's admission letter to Peking University was mailed, the postman at the time, Deng Changzhong, was so excited that he almost took off on his bicycle and rushed to Jiugong's house with the admission letter as fast as he could to announce the good news.
This year, because Deng Yunsong scored very high in the exam, he directly became the top scorer in science in Guangxi, and there was no doubt that he would be admitted to Tsinghua University.
Therefore, Deng Shirong held a college party for his third son in advance. When the admission letter from Tsinghua University arrived, it naturally did not cause as huge a sensation as it did for his second son.
However, this is, after all, an admission letter from the top university in the country, and all the tribesmen who got the news came over to broaden their horizons.
…
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Capital city.
A certain department of the Planning Commission.
Zhao Jing, who had nothing to do, saw Deng Yunheng's smile for the Nth time and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chief Deng, did you find some money or meet the girl you like? I saw you smile so many times this morning!"
Deng Yunheng responded with a laugh: "Leader, is my performance so obvious?"
Zhao Jing nodded and said, "It's really obvious. Tell me what good thing happened to you?"
Another colleague heard this and immediately took over the conversation and said, "I guess Section Chief Deng must have met the girl he likes, because only the power of love can make people laugh from time to time while sitting there."
Deng Yunheng shook his head and smiled, "It is true that I have encountered a happy event, but it is not like what you think, that is, meeting the girl of my dreams. I received a letter from home yesterday. My brother took the college entrance examination this year and got the first place in Guangxi in science."
When these words were spoken, Zhao Jing and another colleague were both shocked.
Zhao Jing exclaimed: "Chief Deng, you are a top student at Peking University, and now your brother has ranked first in the science subject in Guangxi. The academic atmosphere in your family is really amazing!"
Another colleague also praised him: "Other families are amazing if they have one ordinary college student. But Chief Deng, your family not only has two college students, but they are both college students who can enter the country's top universities. It's really amazing."
The conversation here attracted the attention of other colleagues in the department. They were also shocked when they learned that Section Chief Deng's brother had ranked first in Guangxi science.
Just like what Gu Long wrote in "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", "Seven Jinshi in one family, three Tanhua from father and son", this sentence is really very impressive. Although the Deng Yunheng brothers have entered top universities and are not as good as Li Xunhuan and his son, who became Tanhua, they are definitely impressive.
Originally, Deng Yunheng had successfully established himself in this department over the past year with his strong social skills, and had won praise from colleagues and appreciation from leaders. Now that the news had spread that his younger brother had ranked first in the Guangxi science exam, his weight in the hearts of his colleagues and leaders had increased a little more.
Because Deng Yunheng, a top student from Peking University, was capable and had a high emotional intelligence in the way he spoke and acted, Zhao Jing, as his immediate superior, had always had a good impression of him. But that was all, and he had never had any other thoughts about him.
But now that she knew that Deng Yunheng's younger brother had such excellent college entrance examination results, Zhao Jing suddenly had the idea of making some connections for him. Her sister-in-law just graduated from college this year and was currently arranged by her family to work in the diplomatic department.
In terms of family background, her sister-in-law is naturally far superior to Deng Yunheng. Moreover, her sister-in-law has a good figure and looks, and is a college graduate from a key university. She may not necessarily look down on Deng Yunheng, who comes from a rural background. This is also the main reason why Zhao Jing has never thought about this aspect.
But as Deng Yunheng's immediate superior, she naturally knew that he had strong working ability, was good at uniting colleagues, and had a very flexible mind. As long as the time was right, his level would naturally be promoted, and his future prospects were still very bright.
In addition, his younger brother has now ranked first in Guangxi in science, so his future prospects will not be too bad. Even if such a family has no background, it should be safe to get a job at the bureau level. If they can seize the opportunity, they may have a chance to get a job at the ministry level.
So, Deng Yunheng is not worthy of her sister-in-law now, but she may not be unworthy of her in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jing decided that when she got off work at noon, she would mention this matter to her mother-in-law to see if she had this idea. If not, then forget it. But if so, she wouldn't mind being a matchmaker.
…
It has to be said that women are naturally interested in matchmaking, just like shopping.
At noon, when Zhao Jing got home from get off work to eat, she began to test her mother-in-law's attitude: "Mom, let me tell you some news from our department."
Mother He was quite satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law. When she heard her say that, she asked casually, "What's the big news?"
Zhao Jing exclaimed: "One of my subordinates is a Peking University graduate who joined our department last year. Today, I heard him say that his younger brother got the first place in Guangxi science in the college entrance examination this year. It's really rare that two brothers can enter the best university in the country."
Mother He was surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing? Which scholarly family does your subordinate come from?"
Zhao Jing said with emotion: "I can't believe it myself. He was born in a remote rural area in Guangxi. His parents are farmers. They were able to get into the best university in the country purely by their own ability. This is the most amazing thing."
He's mother was amazed when she heard this: "It's not easy for a rural family to get into an ordinary university, and it's even more rare to get into Peking University. And both brothers were able to get into the best university in the country, which is really amazing."
Zhao Jing deliberately said: "Such an outstanding young man, I want to help my sister-in-law to find a date. I think they are a good match in every aspect. It's a pity that his family background is far inferior to that of my sister-in-law!"
Mother He's heart was slightly moved, and then she shook her head and said, "If the family backgrounds are too different, it is indeed not suitable."
Seeing that her mother-in-law really did not agree, Zhao Jing no longer mentioned the matter. She just secretly felt sorry for this subordinate who had left a good impression on her. If he had married her sister-in-law and had the help of the He family, his career path would have been smoother. Now he could only rely on himself.
…
July 14th of the lunar calendar, Tuesday.
Every household in Naye Village kills ducks to celebrate the festival.
A few years ago, because everyone’s living conditions were not very good, the people of Naye Village chose to make winnowing baskets to blow on the 14th day of the seventh month, as shown below:
This winnowing basket blowing is quite labor-intensive to make, but compared to killing ducks for the festival, making this thing for the festival is naturally more cost-effective, because the white layer at the bottom is made from steamed rice milk, and the layer on top is made of chopped radish and garlic.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also add minced meat. Anyway, you can adjust it according to your taste and financial conditions.
Nowadays, on July 14th, people who don't mind the trouble, in addition to killing ducks for the festival, also take time to make this winnowing basket.
After all, this thing tastes really good, and both adults and children like to eat it. Nowadays, everyone's economic conditions are better than before, and eating meat is no longer a difficult thing for the villagers of Naye Village. On the contrary, it is rare to eat something more troublesome like blowing with a winnowing basket.
After the festival, his third son would be sent to Beijing to study, so Deng Shirong did not mind the trouble during this festival. In addition to killing a duck and frying shredded ginger and bamboo shoots, he also asked his daughter and daughter-in-law to make a lot of winnowing baskets, and the family celebrated the festival happily.
After eating his fill, Deng Yunsong asked, "Dad, when is my eldest sister's wedding going to be? I'm at school now, and if the timing doesn't match, I won't be able to come back to attend my eldest sister's wedding."
"The renovation of the houses in the county is almost finished. After the houses are finished, they need to be ventilated to get rid of the odor."
At this point, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest daughter and said, "Ah Zhen, let's wait until the end of the year to hold your wedding. Xiaosong can come back to attend then. If Yunheng has vacation time or can get leave, he can also come back to attend your wedding."
Deng Yunzhen nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, you can make the decision."
Deng Yunsong then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It would be such a pity if I missed my eldest sister's wedding!"
"Xiaosong, when you get to school, you must not slack off in your studies. You must also make friends in school like your second brother did."
Deng Shirong advised: "Because those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University are the chosen ones of this era. No matter which industry they enter in the future, they will have a bright future. These are extremely precious connections, which many people may not be able to build even if they spend their entire lives to cultivate. You must seize this opportunity and never miss it!"
Deng Yunsong nodded repeatedly and said, "Dad, I understand. I will make sure to make more friends while ensuring that my studies are not affected."
Deng Shirong said: "Also, since you have decided to go into politics in the future, then try to join the Youth League Committee or the Student Union as soon as possible. I don't know how to do it specifically, so you can ask your second brother about this. After all, he has served as the vice chairman of the Student Union and has some experience.
Whether you join the Youth League Committee or the Student Union, if you can hold a leadership position, it will be of great help to your future career in politics."
Deng Yunsong nodded again and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll have a good chat with my second brother about this when we get to the capital."
