After returning home in the evening, Li Xu told his family that Du Sen might come, to avoid the embarrassment if he came and his family didn't know about it.
Sun Xiu and others had no objection to this.
Li Chen and Li Ju were extremely happy.
Li Ju, in particular, has long wanted a playmate.
In the blink of an eye, it was early August.
That day, after Li Xu and others went to work, Li Mei went about her daily routine of reading the newspaper.
When I saw a list of college entrance examination admissions in today's newspaper, I quickly looked for my name on it.
Finally, she found her name.
So he rubbed his eyes and looked again, and when he confirmed that he was not mistaken, he couldn't help but scream.
Don't be fooled by her confidence.
But when I actually saw the name, I was still very excited.
This frightened Hu Guilan, who was taking care of the child nearby, so much that she trembled. Even little Wenbo seemed to be frightened and started crying.
Hu Guilan quickly held the child in her arms to comfort him, and then asked Li Mei, "Xiaomei, why did you suddenly scream?"
Li Mei, upon hearing the child's cry, realized that her voice seemed a little louder, and immediately lowered her voice, but her face couldn't hide her excitement, "Sister-in-law, I got into university."
Upon hearing this, Hu Guilan quickly hugged the child and walked over to Li Mei, also showing an excited expression, "Really? Did he really pass the exam?"
"Well, I read it twice and I really passed the exam."
Hu Guilan laughed heartily after receiving a definitive answer. "Great, great, I passed the exam. How about going to tell Dad and the others now?"
Li Mei thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. They are still at work. It's the same if we wait until they come back in the evening."
"Okay, that's up to you." Hu Guilan then looked at the crying little Wenbo in her arms and said, "Son, follow your aunt's example and try to get into university when you grow up."
Unfortunately, her son didn't give her any face and continued crying.
Seeing this, Li Mei reached out and took Wen Bo over, laughing as she walked.
You know what, after a while the child stopped crying and opened his little mouth to smile.
Li Chen and Li Ju at home also congratulated Li Mei after they found out.
Although they don't understand what it means to get into college, it doesn't prevent them from knowing its importance.
Especially in the past few days, this matter has been mentioned more frequently at home.
Li Mei and her friends were in high spirits that day.
When the Li family arrived home that night, Li Jiakang asked again, "Xiaomei, did you see the name?"
“I see.”
"Oh, I saw..." Li Jiakang suddenly realized what was going on when she was halfway through her sentence. He stared at her with wide eyes, "What? Say it again."
Li Mei repeated, "I saw my name."
After saying that, he took out the newspaper and pointed at his name to show Li Jiakang.
Li Xu and others also quickly surrounded them.
Unfortunately, Li Jiakang didn't let go of the newspaper. He read it again and again, laughing while reading.
He may not recognize other characters, but he knows the two characters "Li Mei".
Finally, Sun Xiu couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the newspaper for everyone to see.
"Wuhan University." Li Ping also read out the school name.
Hearing this name, Li Xu was also full of admiration and gave Li Mei a thumbs up, "Sister, you are really amazing. You can even get into Wuhan University."
When the others heard this, they immediately started looking at him.
Li Jiakang also urged, "Xiao Xu, tell me quickly, how is Wuhan University?"
"This is what my eldest sister passed the exam for. Let her tell me."
Li Mei's face also turned red. "Our teacher said it was a key university and now it is supported by the state, so I applied to this school. I don't know the details."
Are you kidding me?
Li Xu looked at her in bewilderment. "You've already said everything, is there anything else you don't know?"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.
"Is that all? You can introduce a university in just two sentences?" Sun Xiu was also confused.
Li Xu said with a smile, "I don't know much about the specifics, but the most important point right now is that Wuhan University is a key national institution. Simply put, it's incredibly impressive."
"How powerful is it?" Li Jiakang asked again.
Li Xu thought for a moment, "There are more than 60 key universities in the country. The country has invested a lot of manpower and resources in them. Wuhan University is one of them. You can imagine how powerful it is."
Don’t think that the term “key university” is a later term.
Since there was a lot of work to be done and materials were limited after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country urgently needed to train outstanding technical talents, so the division of key universities began in the 1950s.
It’s just that the official name at that time was “key colleges and universities”.
After listening to Li Xu's simple and rough explanation, everyone understood a little.
Li Jiakang murmured, "It's like all the food produced by a brigade is distributed among more than 60 people. That's really impressive."
Li Xu: ...
"That's fine if you understand it that way."
Hearing Li Xu's words, Li Jiakang laughed again, "Well, our Li family has a college student, and we will be considered a scholarly family in the future."
This was something Li Jiakang had always dreamed of accomplishing after suffering from his lack of education.
I didn't expect that it would be accomplished now, so I am naturally very excited at this moment.
Even Sun Xiu was so excited that he wanted to close the door to worship and thank his ancestors, and he also wanted to notify his relatives as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Li Mei stopped him, "Mom, don't worry, this is just a name in the newspaper. Let's wait until the acceptance letter arrives in a few days."
In fact, she still felt that she would not feel at ease until she received the admission letter.
Li Ping also advised, "Yes, Mom, we don't have to rush these two days. It will be the same in a few days."
After hearing what the two of them said, Sun Xiu's excitement gradually began to calm down. Then he looked at Li Jiakang and asked, "What do you think of what the children said?"
Li Jiakang took out a cigarette and lit it. He smoked almost half of it before he said slowly, "Okay, it will be the same in a few days."
"Dad, please put out the cigarette quickly. I've told you that newborn babies can't smell the smell of smoke." Li Xu said quickly.
Little Wenbo beside him seemed to cooperate and coughed twice.
Li Jiakang's face changed, and he quickly put out the cigarette with his hand, looking embarrassed. "Yes, I was too excited just now and didn't pay attention."
After saying that, he put the remaining half of the cigarette back into the cigarette box and put it back into his pocket.
Not long after little Wenbo was born, Li Xu discovered that Li Jiakang and Li Ping still habitually smoked cigarettes in front of the child.
The child coughed from time to time, which made everyone nervous.
In the end, Li Xu said that the child couldn't stand the smell of smoke, so that's why he was coughing. Everyone tried not to smoke in front of the child for several days, and then found that the child really stopped coughing.
So everyone in the family was forced not to smoke in front of the children.
