The postman's words made everyone laugh kindly.
Su Hua scratched his head shyly and took his university admission letter from the postman.
The colleague next to her excitedly shook her arm and said, "Open it quickly and take a look. Open it quickly and take a look."
Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she looked so happy as if she was the one who got admitted to the university.
Others also urged: "Yes, college students, open it and take a look, let us take a look too, I haven't even seen what a college acceptance letter looks like."
Everyone's eyes were full of kindness, envy and curiosity, so Su Hua did not refuse. He tore open the email shell of the admission letter in front of everyone and took out the rectangular admission letter inside.
As Su Hua unfolded his admission letter, someone next to him eagerly leaned over and read the words on it: "Admission Notice from Hucheng Normal University. Comrade Su Hua, congratulations on your admission to Hucheng Normal University. After review and approval by the Hucheng Admissions Committee, you have been accepted by our university. Please bring this admission letter and report to the university at the specified time."
After reading it, everyone exclaimed in admiration.
"It really is an acceptance letter!"
Someone wanted to reach out and touch it, but someone next to them patted their hand and said, "Please hold out your hand! This is your college acceptance letter. It's very precious! Don't let anyone touch it and damage it!"
"Xiaohua, you've been admitted to the Teachers College. After you graduate, you'll become a teacher, right?"
"What's so great about being a teacher? Teachers in previous generations were all beaten..." He was halfway through his sentence when someone grabbed his sleeve and interrupted him: "What nonsense! Now that the college entrance examination has been reinstated, teachers in schools will be in high demand. Being a teacher is quite rewarding."
"Yes, yes, Xiaohua is a college student. Maybe he can become a university teacher in the future."
"Xiaohua, what do you say?"
Su Hua scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. I haven't even registered at the university yet. I don't even know what I'm going to study."
"That's right, that's right. We're just too curious and want to ask everything. Don't blame me."
As we were talking, a middle-aged man in cadre uniform squeezed in from the outermost edge of the crowd. As he pushed his way in, he asked, "I heard someone from our vegetable market got into college? Who is it? Who is it?"
"Wang Yuren, it's Xiaohua! Su Hua, the saleswoman in the vegetable section." Su Hua's roommate said loudly, "Xiaohua is amazing! She got admitted to Shanghai Normal University."
A worker at the vegetable market was admitted to university, and as the boss of the vegetable market, Wang Ren was also proud of it.
He grinned happily, walked up to Su Hua, patted Su Hua's shoulder and said, "Hey, hey, this is such a great joy. Xiaohua, you are the first person in our vegetable market to be admitted to university, you have brought honor to our vegetable market."
Su Hua was shy and felt a little uncomfortable being praised. She blushed and responded, "Ren, actually, I was able to get into university thanks to the care of my colleagues at the vegetable market. They gave me the opportunity to concentrate on reviewing for the exam. We all played a role in this honor."
Wang Yiren smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's all thanks to your own hard work. If you don't have the ability, you won't pass the exam no matter how much help you get."
At this point, Wang Yiren paused, thinking of Su Hua's family situation, and said, "You are a hardworking child, and your company cannot hold you back. If you have any difficulties in life, just tell your company. As long as it is within a reasonable range, the company will do its best to help you solve it."
Su Hua's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and he was deeply moved, but he did not accept the offer. He shook his head and said, "Ren, thank you for your offer. I have no difficulty. The university does not charge tuition and also provides a living allowance. I have saved some money from working these days, which is enough for me."
Wang Yuren listened to Su Hua's words and nodded in appreciation. "You're a very smart and independent kid. But you don't have to be so polite to your employer. You've brought honor to the company by getting into university, so it's only right that they reward you."
In front of everyone, Wang Yuren did not make his words very clear.
After all, there are many people with many opinions, and if there is someone with a strong sense of jealousy, it is easy to cause trouble.
"Alright, alright, that's all. Don't gather here after watching the excitement. Go do what you need to do." Wang Yiren waved his hand to disperse the crowd. When most of the onlookers had left, he turned to Su Hua and said, "It's a great joy that you got into university. As your leader, I will give you a day off today. I think your father is still in western Sichuan, right? Give him a call to tell him the good news. Let him be happy that his daughter has made it big."
When Su Kang was mentioned, the smile on Su Hua's face faded a little.
She nodded, pursed her lips and said 'hmm'.
Su Hua's family was busy, and Wang Yuren knew something about it.
He sighed softly in his heart, patted Su Hua's shoulder, and said, "Go ahead. Go back to work early this afternoon. I'll ask each stall to leave some food. After the market closes, we can gather together with the market workers to have some fun. Just think of it as celebrating your admission to university."
Wang Yuren said this because he knew that Su Hua had no one to rely on and no one was celebrating for her.
Su Hua could naturally feel Wang Yuren's intention, and nodded with a touched look on his face, "Hey, thank you, Wang Yuren."
So, after Su Hua left the unit, he first called his father Su Kang who was far away in western Sichuan to tell him the good news.
Su Kang had been sent to western Sichuan seven or eight months ago, and later settled down there, had a child with another woman, and had practically taken root there. It was unknown whether he would have the possibility of returning in the future.
He came here once two months ago, alone, and stayed at home for only three days before the woman there called to urge him to go back.
Su Hua's attic was very small, and it was inconvenient for the father and daughter to live together. Naturally, it could not compare to Su Kang's comfortable life in western Sichuan, so Su Kang stayed in Shanghai for another day and told Su Hua in a difficult manner that he was busy with work and could not stay in Shanghai for too long, and he had to go to western Sichuan the next day.
Saying you're busy with work is just an excuse.
Su Hua knew this, and Su Kang knew it too.
The father and daughter knew it very well, so Su Hua naturally would not try to keep her.
When Su Kang left, Su Hua didn't even go to the train station to see him off. She simply said she was busy with work and that the market was short-staffed, so she couldn't take time off. She only gave Su Kang a few polite words of advice, saying, "Be careful on your journey, Dad. Have a safe trip."
The relationship between father and daughter is cold, and the two have almost no contact.
Su Hua didn't even know Su Kang's phone number. She had written down the number in a notebook, but after she went to the attic, she searched everywhere but couldn't find it.
Su Hua thought, why not just not call? Sending a telegram would be the same.
After all, Su Kang already has a family and a child, so he and his wife may not necessarily want to hear a call from their child.
Whenever Su Hua thought of this, he felt a little self-destructive.
When I was about to give up the search, Su Changyi came in from outside.
As a newly arrived educated youth in the city, Su Changyi had no job and could not find one.
There were not many job opportunities in the city to begin with, and after the policy of relocating people to cities came out, so many educated youth flocked to the city that it was impossible to arrange for them all.
Su Changyi went to the Youth League Office many times but never got a chance to be assigned a job. When he asked, he found out that the files of the educated youth from the city waiting for jobs filled an entire table at the Youth League Office. There were at least several thousand of them. His files were buried in these piles of files, and he didn't know when it would be his turn.
It was unrealistic to wait for the Youth League Office to arrange a job for him, so Su Changyi went to various major units on his own to see if there were any job openings, but he couldn't find any after a round of searching.
He had no connections, and had been in the city for almost a month, running around like a headless fly, but still saw no hope.
