Chapter 94
After receiving the admission letter, Ye Manzhi suppressed her excitement and distributed the wedding candies she had prepared long ago to her colleagues who congratulated her.
Then, without wasting a minute, she grabbed the notice and ran towards the military industrial compound.
Chang Yue'e took leave from the paper shell factory on the pretext of taking care of her daughter-in-law during her postpartum period, and was now listening to the chatterbox in the house.
Seeing her daughter suddenly push the door open and run in, she hurriedly asked, "Laiya, what's wrong?"
"Mom, I got into college!"
Ye Manzhi's cheeks were red from running, and he looked excited. He hugged his mother's shoulders and jumped around in place.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop jumping! Which university did you get accepted to? Where's your acceptance letter? Let me see it!"
Ye Manzhi handed her the admission letter and said, "The Industrial Economics Department of the Provincial University! You can study in Binjiang right here. It won't delay my return home for dinner!"
Chang Yue'e carefully unfolded the notice and read it word for word twice before excitedly saying, "Great! That's great!"
She walked around in circles a few times, feeling lost. Then she ran back into the house to get some money and meat coupons. "I'm going to the market to buy some pork elbows. I'll stew them for you to celebrate!"
Ye Manzhi stopped the man and said, "I can't eat anything right now. Don't go. The taxi still needs someone to watch it!"
My third sister-in-law’s baby has been born for a week, but the new parents haven’t decided on a name for the baby yet, not even a full name or a nickname.
Shen Liangmei was rather mischievous, saying that the child was born in a taxi, so the nickname could be used to call a taxi temporarily.
So the whole family inexplicably used the word "taxi" to refer to the newborn.
"I'm sleeping in the taxi. Even if I wake up, your third sister-in-law will be watching me," Chang Yue'e said as she walked out. "By the way, which major were you accepted into?"
"Department of Industrial Economics!"
"What does this Industrial Economics Department teach?"
"I'm studying economics!" Ye Manzhi said with a smile, "I don't know the details."
Chang Yue'e silently repeated "Industrial Economics Department" several times, and then went out with the money and meat coupons in her hand.
"Mr. Chang, where are you going?"
"Haha, my little girl got into college. I'm going to buy her some meat to celebrate."
Upon hearing this, several elderly ladies who stayed at home opened their doors and asked, "Did your daughter really get into college? There has never been a college graduate in our building!"
"He passed the exam, he passed the exam! We have a college student in Building 8 now!" Chang Yue'e said happily. "He's in the Industrial Economics Department of the Provincial University! A key major at a key university! He'll help the country with economic development in the future! He can become a senior official and serve the people!"
Ye Manzhi: “…”
How can her mother brag so much!
It’s a key university, but it’s not a key major!
None of the majors she applied for were popular in the provincial universities, and the Department of Industrial Economics was ranked ninth among the unpopular majors.
This shows how unpopular this major is.
Seeing how excited Chang Yue'e was, she might not be able to eat pork elbow today. Ye Manzhi felt embarrassed to listen to her mother bragging in front of her, so she said hello and ran to the military representative office of Factory 656 with the notice.
Since the two got married, Ye Manzhi has never come to the military representative's office again.
After receiving the notification call from the security guard, Wu Zhengrong came out of the office and walked to the door of the office building to greet people.
"Did you receive good news?" Wu Zhengrong asked with a smile without waiting for her to report the good news.
Ye Manzhi handed over the notice and said with a bright smile, "Luckily, you were smart and switched the positions of 'Department of Industrial Economics' and 'Economics, Organization and Planning of Mechanical Manufacturing Enterprises'. Otherwise, I would probably have been admitted to the mechanical manufacturing major!"
She really didn't want to go to the workshop for metalworking practice.
"Congratulations!" Wu Zhengrong glanced at his watch after reading the admission notice and said, "Let's go! I'll treat you to a Western meal at the Workers' Club tonight to celebrate!"
"Let's not go to the workers' club, okay?" Ye Manyi was eager to go, but was afraid that it would have a bad influence on him.
"I've already reserved a seat."
Ye Manzhi opened her eyes wide and asked, "You didn't know I was accepted a long time ago, did you?"
Otherwise, why would I reserve a table in advance to treat her to Western food?
"Isn't today Chinese Valentine's Day? I'd like to invite Director Xiao Ye to celebrate the festival."
Ye Manzhi was already very happy because of the notice, and when he mentioned Qixi Festival, she was even more surprised and asked, "You still know about Qixi Festival!"
"Well, are you going?"
Wu Zhengrong never celebrated the Chinese Valentine's Day, but he had been paying attention to the admission list in the provincial daily newspaper over the past two days. After finding that Ye Lai Ya's name was not on the list, he decided to find an opportunity to comfort her.
She likes Western food, so let's go to a Western restaurant and have a good meal to adjust her mood.
Ye Manzhi smiled disdainfully: "Eating Western food on Qixi Festival, it's neither Chinese nor Western."
But she still happily celebrated the Chinese Valentine's Day with the military representative.
*
Following Ye Manzhi, twelve more candidates on Guangming Street received university admission letters.
Three of them were admitted to key universities, and the one with the best grades was admitted to Renmin University.
In previous years, only one or two people in the entire street could be admitted to university. This year's college entrance examination results are considered the best results in the history of Guangming Street.
Ye Shouxin didn't care about other people's grades. After learning that his daughter was admitted to university, he sent a telegram to his hometown overnight to inform his parents and fellow villagers of this good news.
Ye Lai Ya is the first college student in the Ye family, and a college student from a key university!
If you want to be a high-ranking official after graduation, it’s no exaggeration to say that you will bring honor to your family!
He called his son-in-law home to ask him how he planned to celebrate for Ye Lai Ya.
Wu Zhengrong was stunned when he heard this and didn't understand what his father-in-law meant for a moment.
When he was admitted to Southwest Associated University, he only received a comment of "okay" from President Wu.
His sister Xiu Lan was treated a little better than him, but not much, and the family just had a meal together to celebrate.
However, judging from what his father-in-law said, just having a meal was obviously not enough.
"Dad, you decide what to do. Lai Ya and I will listen to you."
Ye Shouxin slapped his thigh, "Of course we have to make a big deal about it! Lai Ya getting into university is such a big deal, we need to inform all our relatives and friends on both sides. Those who can come to dinner, please invite them, and for those who can't, we'll just send them a couple of pieces of wedding candy and tell them the good news!"
Wu Zhengrong nodded in approval.
Seeing that his son-in-law agreed with his proposal, Ye Shouxin became even more excited. "You will be in charge of notifying your in-laws, as well as your brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, and other close relatives. We will be responsible for notifying Lai Ya's grandparents, uncles, and eldest uncle..."
When Zhou Mu was admitted to the provincial university last year, the Zhou family held a banquet and showed off for several days.
This time it’s Lai Ya’s turn to get admitted to university, so the Ye family must make the celebration even more lively!
Ye Shouxin made an impassioned plan, but Ye Manzhi poured cold water on him, saying, "Dad, I have less than two weeks to register for school. During this time, I have to hand over my work, apply for a household registration transfer certificate, a grain and oil transfer certificate, and transfer my party and league membership. I have so much to do, how can I have time for a dinner?"
Wu Zhengrong and his father-in-law formed a united front and said, "You go about your business, and we'll celebrate ours. You just need to hand the notice to our dad when the time comes. I don't have to attend."
"That's exactly the truth!" Ye Shouxin sighed, "Zhengrong still understands me!"
Ye Manzhi: “…”
He can understand anyone if he wants to.
She left the notice to show off to her parents and relatives, and went back to her unit to handle the handover procedures.
Every task of the street office is jointly undertaken by two people. Even if she suddenly quits her job to go to school, it will not have much impact on the work.
After Zhang Qinjian helped her get the salary transfer certificate, he politely sighed, "Director Xiaoye, you've done a lot for Guangming Street in the past two years. I really hope to keep a talent like you, but after you go to college, you're free to do whatever you want. We won't have many opportunities to work together in the future."
Ye Manzhi laughed heartily and said, "Director, after I'm gone, you must not slack off. You must continue to be as proactive as before and strive to be promoted to the district as soon as possible, so that you can become the district mayor or secretary. When I graduate, you must make room for me and let me return to our Guangming Street to be the director!"
It was the first time someone brought up the topic of promotion in person, and Zhang Qinjian felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed and said, "Then I'll take advantage of your good wishes."
After completing the transfer procedures, he held a farewell party for Ye Manzhi within the street office.
Although there was no food, Ye Manzhi brought a bottle of Moutai from home.
I clinked glasses with every colleague and expressed my gratitude to everyone.
When it was Feng Chaoyang's turn, Ye Manzhi hugged her and said, "Auntie Feng, I've been following you since the first day I started working at the neighborhood office. I learned how to write from you, how to knit from you, and you even wrote my marriage certificate for me! I said you're my master, do you acknowledge me?"
Feng Chaoyang thought she was a little drunk, nodded and said, "Admit it."
"Aunt Feng, you have to be happy in the future! We are both military families, and our relationship is much closer than others," Ye Manzhi pulled her and asked, "When I have a child, I want the child to recognize you as their godmother. Are you willing?"
"Let's talk about it after you give birth to a child. Then bring the child to me and I'll give him something."
Ye Manzhi clinked glasses with her and drank the liquor in the cup. "Aunt Feng, it's a deal. When I have a child, I want him to recognize you as his godmother and learn to write from you!"
Leaving familiar colleagues and embarking on a new journey alone made Ye Manzhi feel particularly sad.
On her last day at work at the subdistrict office, she was carried home by someone.
After completing all the procedures, Ye Manzhi rested at home for a week.
The reporting time required in the notice is August 28th to August 31st.
Ye Manzhi was full of anticipation for college life, and as a local student, she went to register at the university on the 28th.
These days, few parents send their children to school, and even elementary school students are rarely picked up, so college freshmen almost all come to register alone with their luggage.
Ye Manzhi was strolling in the shady campus without any luggage. When she reached the east gate, a bus slowly stopped at the gate and freshmen carrying large and small bags got off the bus one after another.
Someone on the platform immediately held up a sign that said "New Student Reception" to guide the new students.
Seeing this, Ye Manzhi strolled over and asked, "Classmate, where do the new students in the Department of Industrial Economics register?"
"The Industrial Economics Department's admissions process isn't over yet, and there's no one from your department to greet you at the new student registration desk." The boy pushed his glasses up and, after consulting with his companions, suggested, "Why don't you just go directly to the Student Affairs Office to register? A few students from the Industrial Economics Department have already gone there."
Ye Manzhi thanked the two of them.
No wonder I haven’t seen the admission list of the Department of Industrial Economics in the newspaper.
It turns out that the admissions work has not yet been completed.
It was considered fast that she received the admission letter in the first tier.
Ye Manzhi went to the Student Affairs Office and submitted her admission documents to register.
Seeing the name on the notice, the middle-aged male teacher shouted to the office next door: "Xiao Chen, Ye Manzhi from your department is here!"
A female teacher with short hair ran out upon hearing the noise. Her eyes fell on Ye Manzhi and she asked, "Are you Ye Manzhi?"
"Hello, teacher. I'm Ye Manzhi."
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Then come with me!"
Then, as if remembering something, she glanced towards the door and called out, "Have Chen Guangxu, Wu Mei, and Bian Queqiao arrived?"
A girl wearing glasses raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I'm Bian Queqiao!"
"Well, Ye Manzhi and Bian Queqiao, come in with me."
The two followed her into the office next door, where a man and a woman sat. Both were dressed maturely, making it difficult to tell their identities.
"The admission notices for the transfer students are sent out first. Our department has a total of six transfer students this year, three in each class. The four of you should report to school first so that you can help your classmates."
Chen Ying took out the list and said, "Bian Queqiao will temporarily serve as the League Secretary of Class 1, and Ye Manzhi will temporarily serve as the monitor of Class 1. Lu Guoqing will temporarily serve as the League Secretary of Class 2, and Kong Lin will temporarily serve as the monitor of Class 2."
Four transferred students: "..."
Are you deciding on the class leaders so hastily?
Chen Ying ignored their reactions, took out two lists of student names and handed them to them, explaining the relevant work of the new students' registration.
"This year, the school has added a physical examination for admission. Everyone needs to explain clearly to their classmates. If you have any hidden medical history, you must report it in advance. In serious cases, you may be sent back to your hometown by the school."
Bian Queqiao asked in surprise: "Teacher Chen, didn't we already have a physical examination before the college entrance examination?"
"Well, we'll have a checkup this year. We'll organize everyone to go to the hospital for chest X-rays. Students with asthma, tuberculosis, or pregnancy must not conceal the truth and must report it promptly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Manzhi and Kong Lin, who was sitting next to her, subconsciously touched their lower abdomen.
