Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were not really surprised that Lu Xiaojun was able to get into Tsinghua University.
After all, he had put in a lot of effort over the years, and with the help of Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue, he had consumed a lot of spatial items and water, which greatly improved both his physical strength and intelligence.
Many people in the village say that children are a reflection of their parents.
Lu Xiaojun is now quite handsome. Although he is not as dashing as Lu Yuan, Xiao Fan, and Yu Shaoheng, he is still very good-looking and much better looking than the average person.
Perhaps because he took Lu Yuan as a role model, his words and actions were consciously or unconsciously imitating Lu Yuan, and at first glance, he really did have a bit of Lu Yuan's shadow.
"He's back! He's back! Our village's first college student is back!"
As soon as Lu Yuan and Lu Xiaojun returned to the village, someone shouted excitedly.
Lu Xiaojun wasn't the only one admitted to university this time. Yu Shaoheng and Wei Wenshu, along with Xiao Fan and four other educated youths, also got into university. But Lu Xiaojun was a native of the village, so this was definitely a different story for the villagers.
Everyone was happy for him. Upon receiving the notification, Lu Xiaoqin burst into tears of joy and cried her heart out.
Lu Yuan and Lu Xiaojun had just arrived home when Lu Xiaoqin and Xu Dong arrived with their child.
Yu Shaoheng and his wife, Lu Yuanchao and his wife, Lu Jiefang and his wife, and He Shenghua and his wife all came with their children.
Soon, other close relatives and friends came to offer their congratulations.
For a time, the Lu family courtyard was very lively.
Wen Moxue greeted everyone with a smile, giving each person who came to offer their congratulations a handful of peanuts, melon seeds, and White Rabbit milk candy.
Seeing all this, Lu Xiaoqin's eyes instantly reddened. Her own sister hadn't prepared any of this, but her sister-in-law had prepared it all long ago.
"Aheng, which university did you two get into?" Lu Yuan asked.
“Wen Shu and I are at the same university, Kyoto University, while Fan Ge is at Renmin University.” Yu Shaoheng was quite pleased.
Lu Yuan was very surprised; he hadn't realized they all did so well on the exam.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you guys to have such good grades."
When this was mentioned, Yu Shaoheng looked at his wife with a gentle gaze.
"Wen Shu got the best grades, and it's also thanks to the review materials you gave us, Brother Yuan. Wen Shu helped me review every day and made a review plan for me. He wouldn't let me sleep until I finished my tasks."
Wei Wenshu wasn't greedy for credit, saying, "You also have to be willing to learn, and you also have a solid foundation."
Although Yu Shaoheng is simple-minded, he is very obedient, especially when it comes to people he trusts; he will definitely do as they say.
Wei Wenshu gave him a daily task, and he wouldn't go to sleep until he completed it. Even though it was painful every day, he strictly followed the instructions.
The couple's eyes were lingering on each other, and a chorus of tsk-tsk-like teasing sounds arose from those around them.
Lu Yuan then asked the two when they would return to Beijing.
Lu Shaoheng replied, "Naturally, I'll go with Brother Fan and Xiao Jun after the New Year."
Lu Yuan asked in surprise, "Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
"Of course not. It won't be easy to come back to the brigade for the New Year after I return to Beijing. I'll stay and celebrate the New Year with you this year."
The main problem is that his younger brother refused to go back for the New Year, saying he wanted to stay in Changhe Brigade to spend the New Year with his sister Mingzhu, and they had to spend it together every year.
That delusional guy will probably have to spend the New Year in Kyoto starting next year.
My younger brother and best friend both got into university, so naturally I had to celebrate.
Lu Yuan caught more than a dozen wild boars, and the brigade enjoyed two more meat feasts.
During the Spring Festival, the brigade slaughtered a pig and distributed the meat. This year, the brigade ate the pig's head and offal to make a feast, and all the meat was distributed to the commune members.
Therefore, this year's distribution of meat is the largest in recent years.
This delighted the villagers, and their faces beamed with joy. The entire brigade was filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.
This year's Spring Festival was especially lively in the brigade, with the entire brigade celebrating together. This was Yu Shaoheng's suggestion, which received unanimous approval.
Neither those who passed the university entrance exam nor those who failed did the educated youth return to their hometowns for the Spring Festival.
The brigade had good welfare benefits; as long as you didn't go back, you could get money, grain, and meat.
The educated youth all stayed.
The educated youth felt that they should have some sense of ceremony and hold a cultural performance to celebrate the New Year together.
Lu Guoan and Zhang Yongan thought the idea was excellent, and with a wave of their hands, they said, "Let's do it!"
It's just a bit cold.
But this difficulty can be overcome. Just wear thicker clothes, bring a stove, and burn more fires in the threshing ground. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
The educated youth and those who were to perform were all busy preparing for the show, while the men who had nothing to do went up the mountain to chop firewood to prepare for burning in the threshing ground during the New Year.
Everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of Lunar New Year's Eve.
On this day, firecrackers went off early, and the commune members started working on the threshing ground very early in the morning.
Five or six large iron pots were set up, and twenty or thirty women, led by Trumpet Flower, were washing and chopping vegetables, while seven or eight people with good cooking skills, such as Lu Xiaoqin, Wang Hongmei, and Zhong Zhiping, were in charge of cooking.
While the women were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, the men were also busy.
Under Lu Yuan's direction, a stage was set up, tables and chairs were arranged, and a bonfire was lit.
With the cold weather, bonfires are a must, but this poses some safety risks.
The adults are fine, but the real worry is that the children might accidentally burn themselves while playing with fire.
To avoid safety hazards, Lu Yuan assigned two people to be in charge of each fire pit, and they were also responsible for adding firewood.
The New Year's Eve dinner was scheduled for noon. Everyone enjoyed a lively reunion dinner together and watched the performances.
Under the organization of the educated youth, more than a dozen programs were actually produced.
