Due to the stable environment and the approaching Chinese New Year, Li Xu became busy again after his vacation and didn't even have time to rest.
During this period, many candidates in the county received admission letters. Their families held grand banquets like the Duan family, and they did not accept gifts.
If students from the study class are admitted to university, their families will invite Li Xu to a banquet.
It’s a pity that Li Xu really didn’t have time and could only decline.
It is worth mentioning that Hong Qi and Jiang Yan also passed the exam and were admitted to the same school.
The two were so happy that they immediately sold their property, gave generous gifts to the Liu and Li families, and then took the letter of introduction and the child back to Zichang County.
They want to take advantage of the last month to go back and reunite with their families.
Speaking of it, among the educated youth in Tang County, only the two of them were admitted to university, none of the others.
There are more than one hundred people who passed the exam in the entire Tang County, and most of them are students from the study classes.
Except for some people who joined the class too late or had no talent for learning, the rest of the people passed the exam, totaling over a hundred.
Tang County's achievements were truly impressive, not only within the city but even within the province. To say they were so far ahead was an understatement. For this reason, the city even specifically commended Tang County for its flourishing literary style...
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Little New Year. The supply and marketing cooperative's car team rushed and finally returned to Tang County at around six o'clock in the evening.
After parking the car, Li Xu and others said a few words and then went home.
Only after seeing Li Xu arrive home did the Li family start eating.
Li Xu casually picked up a piece of chicken and a dumpling from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he asked vaguely, "Mom, are the things for the banquet ready?"
"I'm ready. Tomorrow you should sleep less and come early to help."
"Yeah." After answering, Li Xu seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "Has my second uncle's family decided on a location for the banquet? Is it in the city or in the countryside?"
"In the city."
Li Xu immediately showed a happy expression, said "That's good", then picked up the medicinal wine and took a sip.
Li Ju and Li Wenbai were admitted to Wuhan University as they wished.
Li Qiang's son Li Zeming, Sun Min's daughter Tang Xinglin, and the three children of the Xu family were also admitted to university.
Originally, the four families were planning to hold a banquet to celebrate, but the people in the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade were busy transporting goods and had no time to rest, so they decided to postpone the banquet until Li Xu was on vacation.
Liu Gang and several other masters from the car team also have family members who have been admitted to university. As the heads of the family, they naturally cannot hold a banquet at home when they are not there, so they can only postpone the banquet.
From tomorrow until the New Year, everyone in the car team will be resting at home, so this period is just the right time to hold the banquet.
These days banquets are usually held in the evening. To prevent time conflicts, the people in the car team even made a special arrangement: you hold it today and he will hold it tomorrow.
But the problem is that there are only a few days left, and besides them, Li Qiang's three families are also going to hold banquets. Even if each family holds a banquet every day, it will not be possible for them to have a turn.
So Li Xu could only let Li Qiang and his family pick a date at random. If there was a conflict in schedule, he would go to both places.
Everything was planned well, but unexpectedly Li Jiafu came up with the idea of holding Li Zeming's banquet in Qinghe Brigade.
The ground is now covered with snow, and it will be difficult to melt it even in two weeks. By then, we will have to walk from the county town to Qinghe Brigade.
In this way, Li Xu would not be able to go to the second place.
On one side is my second uncle, and on the other side is a colleague I have been in contact with for many years. It would be inappropriate not to go to either side.
Li Xu was originally quite worried, but now that Li Zeming’s banquet is in the city, he doesn’t have to worry anymore.
Li Ping gulped down a big mouthful of dumpling water, then said with a smile, "If it weren't for the old man saying that Xiaoqiang and his wife are city people and don't live in the countryside, so there's no need to hold a wedding banquet in the countryside, Second Uncle would never have changed his mind."
"The old man is wise." Li Xu praised.
Hearing this, Li Jiakang quickly agreed, "I think so too."
"Huh?" Li Xu was stunned. "Dad, I'm just flattering the old man, but what are you flattering?"
Before Li Jiakang could speak, Sun Xiu spoke first, "The old man wants to repair the ancestral tomb."
Now Li Xu understood.
In fact, ever since Li Mei became the director of the fertilizer factory a few years ago, Li Jiakang had the idea of repairing his ancestral tomb.
It's just that everyone was collectively opposed to it at that time. Li Mei had just come to power and her family was repairing the ancestral tomb. If it got out, it would be bad for her.
In addition, although Tang County was relatively relaxed about such matters at that time, the overall environment did not allow it, unless there were problems such as cracks in the ancestral tomb.
If the Li family repaired the tomb, this matter would easily become a handle for Li Mei's political enemies to use to attack her.
So Li Jiakang had no choice but to give up.
Li Xu thought for a moment, then turned to look at Li Mei. "Sister, you've just been appointed deputy county magistrate. Will repairing the ancestral tomb have any impact on you?"
"What does this have to do with me? My family has a college graduate, so it's only natural for my second uncle to repair the ancestral tomb."
Good job.
So the renovation was done in the name of Li Jiafu.
But it does make sense.
Li Jiakang and Li Jiafu had separated long ago, and even if Mr. Li were still alive, they would be considered two families.
Therefore, Li Jiafu's tomb renovation will not affect Li Mei.
Of course, there is a prerequisite, Li Jiafu must have sufficient reasons to repair the tomb.
Otherwise, people would think that he built the tomb at the instruction of Li Jiakang.
There is no way. There is no problem with the ancestral tomb, there is no big happy event in the family, and no one has achieved anything. If you say that you have nothing to do and go to repair the ancestral tomb, even a fool will not believe it.
Li Jiakang had good reasons to do so because he had a daughter named Li Mei.
