After delivering the things, Feng Xiuying did not bother Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie too much, mainly because it was too awkward to stay.
After she went out with a smile on her face, Ruan Qiuyue picked up the food on the table and took a look, "She must be regretting it now."
Ruan Xi still said the same thing, "I don't need her regret. I worked so hard to get into college and get into a good university, not to save face and make Feng Xiuying look up to me. She is not that important in my heart. Whether she regrets it or not, it has nothing to do with me."
Ruan Qiuyue put down the things in her hands, took a deep breath, and didn't say anything about Feng Xiuying. She just looked at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and said, "Sister and cousin, you have officially become my role models now. I have to start working hard too, and work hard really hard."
Ruan Jie looked at her and smiled, "Come on!"
Ruan Qiuyue encouraged herself, "Work hard!"
She stood and talked to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie for a few more words before going back to the house. She simply tidied up and went to wash up.
After Ruan Qiuyue left, Ruan Xi stood up from the desk and said to Ruan Jie, "Let's pack up."
Ruan Jie immediately understood what Ruan Xi meant, "Are you going home tomorrow?"
Ruan Xi nodded, "Yes, I'll leave tomorrow."
The college entrance examination results have come out, and the admission letter has been received. Why stay here? If it weren't for waiting for the college entrance examination results and the admission letter, they would have gone home directly after the exam and would not have stayed here to play.
Ruan Jie naturally wanted to go home. She was completely dependent here. If Ruan Xi hadn't taken her with her every day and stood in front of her, she would not have felt comfortable for half a day.
A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own thatched nest. It's
not as good as your own home anywhere.
It happened that there were only ten days left before the Chinese New Year. They hurried back to Fengming Mountain and could spend a few days at home to live peacefully. After the Chinese New Year
, they could just take the admission letter to report to the school. Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie were eager to tell Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua about the happy event of being admitted to the university. After all, the happiest and most exciting things are usually shared with the most important people, so that the happiness will be doubled.
Moreover, it is meaningless to say such things in a letter. They must say it in person so that they can be happy with them.
So they started to pack their luggage, and Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie had a slightly excited smile on their faces.
This time, packing was different from the previous two years. They did not simply pack a few sets of clothes for changing, but packed everything that could be packed, and put all the things that had to be taken away into the bag.
The luggage couldn't hold so many things, and the journey was long and troublesome, so they threw some clothes and shoes here.
After washing up, they returned to the room, turned on the light and lay on the bed. Ruan Jie asked with a long sigh of relief: "Sister, after returning to Fengming Mountain tomorrow, will you come back here in the future?"
Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't really want to go back, but it depends on the situation."
Ruan Jie thought for a while and said: "I have thought about it. I will come back to see my uncle and aunt when I have made some progress in the future. After all, if it weren't for my uncle and aunt, I would have no place to go to school properly, let alone books and materials to study well, and I might not be able to take the college entrance examination. I have been eating, drinking and living here for more than two years. If I don't come back in the future, wouldn't it be ungrateful?"
Ruan Xi smiled, "Then if you have made some progress in the future, buy some things and come back to see them if you have nothing to do."
Ruan Jie nodded, "Yes, that's what I think.
" After that, she lay down and took a long breath, and then continued after a while: "Sister, I still feel like I'm dreaming. When I was in the countryside, I thought my life would be like that. Unexpectedly, it suddenly changed."
Ruan Xi looked at her with a smile, "Don't you think that the resumption of the college entrance examination is a sign? The world will definitely change in the future, and what it will become may be even more unimaginable. But we only need to remember one thing, and work hard with the times."
Ruan Jie has actually been very inferior in the past two years in the city. She is careful in her words and deeds and doesn't stand out or cause trouble. This day is the day when she has the highest confidence. She nodded and said, "Well! We will definitely get better and better!"
After a night of settling, the atmosphere at home was completely better the next morning.
Of course, Ye Qiuwen, who failed the college entrance examination and caused a fight and was beaten, could not get better. Her life fell into a deeper valley again. If there was no next college entrance examination, she would have fallen into the abyss.
Feng Xiuying asked Ruan Qiuyang to ask her to go downstairs for dinner, but she didn't come down.
It's good not to come down, after all, the atmosphere can be much better.
Ruan Changfu was in high spirits and said to Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ye Fan: "Today, ask your mother and your aunt Xiaojie to take you out for a walk and see what you want. As long as the conditions allow, we will buy it for you."
Ruan Xi didn't hesitate and said directly: "No, we will leave soon."
There were nine people at the dinner table. Except for Ruan Qiuyang who was embarrassed and wandering away, everyone else was immersed in joy. Ruan Qiuyang was embarrassed because he had always looked down on Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, and now he was embarrassed after being hit hard in the face.
She still wanted to save face, and didn't want to be targeted by Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, and Ruan Qiuyue like she did last night.
So she acted like it was none of her business.
She didn't react, and everyone else was stunned for a moment, looking at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie.
Ruan Changfu looked at Ruan Xi and asked knowingly: "Where are you going?"
Ruan Xi looked at him and simply answered: "Home."
Ruan Changfu naturally knew that the home she was talking about was Fengming Mountain, but he still said: "Isn't this your home too?"
Ruan Xi looked at him and smiled, without saying anything, but all the words were in that smile that was very clear.
Ruan Changjun was excited again, and said with bright eyes: "Sister, I will go too."
Ruan Xi put away the smile on her face, and then turned to look at Ruan Hongjun again. After a while, she said: "I will not come back this time. After the New Year, Xiaojie and I will go directly from Fengming Mountain to report to the school, so..."
She looked at Ruan Hongjun for a long time, and finally felt a little reluctant, but still said, "I won't take you."
Ruan Hongjun's face was full of excitement and bright smiles. After hearing what Ruan Xi said, the smile on his face could not be maintained, and slowly fell down. He looked at Ruan Xi and blinked, but he didn't say anything.
Ruan Xi looked at him and smiled again, "When you grow up, you can go to see grandpa and grandma again."
Ruan Hongjun was no longer happy, lowered his eyes, and still didn't speak.
Ruan Changfu cleared his throat and said, "How about... just stay here this year? You and Xiaojie have been here for three years and have never celebrated the New Year here. This year, just stay here and have some fun."
Ruan Xi shook her head without hesitation, "No, we have to go back to spend the New Year with grandpa and grandma."
The atmosphere at the dinner table froze again.
Two hours later, the jeep stopped outside the gate.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went out with their luggage, and everyone else in the family followed behind except Ye Qiuwen.
Ruan Hongjun's eyes were red and full of moisture. When Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie walked out of the door, he sniffed and asked, "Sister and cousin, you won't come back in the future, right?"
Ruan Xi turned around with Ruan Jie. She looked at Ruan Hongjun and felt really sorry for him. So she took a deep breath and said, "I will definitely come back to see you when I have time. You all have to be obedient at home, especially you, Hongjun. Sixty points is still too low. When I come back next time, you have to get ninety points."
Ruan Hongjun said, "Then I will try to get one hundred points."
Ruan Xi smiled at him, "Come on!"
Ruan Hongjun suddenly clenched his fist and shouted again, "Come on!!"
This time, Ruan Changfu didn't raise his hand to slap him on the head, and Ruan Qiuyue and Ye Fan didn't roll their eyes at him.
Ruan Xi did not stand and chat with them for a long time. She looked at Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying and said, "Thank you, thank you for taking care of Xiaojie and me during this time. We have been studying peacefully for more than two years."
Feng Xiuying only now realized what Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie were doing in their rooms every day except eating and going to the toilet. She looked at Ruan Xi with tears in her eyes and said, "Xiaoxi... or... stay..."
She has been here for almost three years, and she has never compensated her properly.
Ruan Xi did not respond to her words, pretending that she did not hear anything, and turned around and went to the car.
Ruan Jie said goodbye to Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying again, "Uncle and aunt, thank you for taking care of me over the past two years. I will always remember it in my heart and will come back to see you often in the future."
After saying that, she waved to Ruan Hongjun and others, and followed Ruan Xi into the car.
Ruan Changfu, Feng Xiuying, Ruan Hongjun, Ruan Qiuyue, Ye Fan, and Ruan Hongbing stood outside the gate and watched the jeep go away. Everyone looked unhappy. Ruan Hongjun cried first, and after crying twice, he raised his hand to wipe his tears. Ye Fan
patted his shoulder beside him, and his eyes were wet because of his teasing.
The jeep disappeared from their sight. The few of them were still standing, especially Feng Xiuying, who was following it in the distance. She stood there motionless, as if her heart was filled with tons of cotton, and she could hardly breathe.
Ruan Changfu seemed to know what she was thinking. He stood beside her and said, "She gave you almost three years, and you didn't even take a minute to try to get to know her well. What did you do?"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.
Feng Xiuying felt even more upset.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie carried their luggage onto the train. After putting their luggage away, they sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
The train was still noisy and crowded, but the two were in a good mood.
Ruan Jie relaxed his muscles and leaned back on the chair, looking at Ruan Xi and said, "You will be able to see grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle and aunt soon... Oh, and the new little brother!"
Ruan Xi raised an eyebrow at her, "Soon?"
Ruan Jie smiled, "About five or six days."
In five or six days, first take the train to Tianfeng Commune, then walk back to Fengyan Brigade from Tianfeng Commune.
This time they walked home during dinner time, and smoke was rising from the small mountain village.
Ruan Xi liked this picture full of life. Although her feet were tired, because she had seen the house at home and the smoke rising from the house, she and Ruan Jie walked faster and faster.
When they reached the door and looked inside, Liu Xinghua was sitting behind the stove cooking dinner, Qian Chuan was busy on the stove, and Ruan Changsheng was playing with his almost eight-month-old chubby son.
When they saw Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, the three of them said together, "Xiaoxi and Xiaojie are back!"
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie smiled and walked into the house, "You're back for the New Year."
As soon as they finished speaking, Ruan Zhigao came out of the house again. He even walked towards the door, stuck his head out to look, then turned his head back to look at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and asked, "Didn't the Red Army come?"
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went into the house to put down their luggage, and came out and said, "We won't go back after the New Year this time. It's not very convenient, so we didn't bring them back."
Liu Xinghua was stunned after hearing this, "Why not go?"
She asked Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie to go to the city because she wanted the two girls to stay in the city and not come back to Fengming Mountain in the future. If they have a job and find a husband in the city, they will naturally have no worries in their lives.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went to see their little brother next to Ruan Changsheng. Ruan Xi laughed and teased his little brother and said, "Because we have been admitted to college. We will go to college directly after the Chinese New Year and don't have to go back to them."
"Go to college?" Qian Chuan felt strange, "How did you get into it?"
Not only was she curious, Ruan Zhigao, Liu Xinghua, and Ruan Changsheng were also curious, and they all looked at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie.
Ruan Jie looked at Qian Chuan and said: "Fifth Aunt, this year the country issued a policy to resume the college entrance examination. The exams have been completed and admissions have been completed. My sister and I have both been admitted to university. School will start soon after the New Year. My sister and I will go to the capital to go to university together!" "The capital?" Ruan Changsheng's eyes widened, " Is
it so powerful?" Ruan Xi smiled, "Didn't the people in the mountains receive the notice?" Ruan Changsheng shook his head and said, "I haven't heard about it. There is no school in the mountains. Who would send a notice here?" Ruan Xi said, "The world outside has changed now. Going to school is no longer based on recommendations. It all depends on test scores. No matter what your background is, everyone is treated equally. Whoever has good grades will go to school." Ruan Zhigao then asked, "If you get into university, will the country arrange a job for you?" Ruan Xi looked at him and nodded, "Grandpa, going to university is a good thing. " " The school guarantees you a job, and you will have a stable job after graduation." Liu Xinghua burst into laughter when she heard this, and Ruan Zhigao, Qian Chuan, and Ruan Changsheng also smiled. Ruan Zhigao said, "That's great! You are more promising than your father was! Xiao Jie is also promising!" Liu Xinghua was so happy, "My two precious granddaughters really make me proud! Others laugh at me for being spoiled by the girls at home, and now let's see what they say! They don't understand the benefits of girls!" Because Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie were admitted to university, the whole family was happy, and the house was lively and noisy all night. Liu Xinghua was laughing in her dreams at night, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face when she went out the next day. The old ladies saw that she was about to have a big happy event, so they all asked her what happened.
She naturally did not hide it, and said to the old ladies with a smile on her face: "If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know, and the people in the mountains wouldn't understand. Now studying is very useful. The country has restored the college entrance examination. As long as you do well in the exam, you can go to college. It's guaranteed to be assigned a job, a stable job. My two granddaughters, Xiaoxi and Xiaojie, have both been admitted to college and are going to the capital to study!"
The eyes of several old ladies widened when they heard it, "Going to the capital! That's amazing, right?"
Liu Xinghua said without any modesty, "Going to the capital is of course amazing!"
The old ladies were quick to talk, and the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the news that Ruanxi and Ruanjie were admitted to college spread throughout the village in one day. Sun Xiaohui, the mother, still learned about it from others.
At dinner, she said to Ruan Changgui, "Do you know that Xiaoxi and Xiaojie were admitted to university?"
Ruan Changgui didn't know yet, and looked at her and asked, "When did it happen?"
Sun Xiaohui said, "They just came back yesterday, and the whole village knew about it today. It's not just an ordinary university, but a university in the capital, which is amazing! Don't you think these two girls are too lucky?"
There is not even a school in their mountain, so they don't know which university is good and which is not. When they heard that they were going to the capital to study, they thought it was the most amazing, because the capital has a different status in their hearts.
Ruan Changgui took a deep breath, "Is this true?"
Sun Xiaohui did not doubt the truth of this matter, and only said: "They have been trained in the city for nearly three years, and they have been trained! I said long ago that we should have jumped in at that time. If we had jumped in, we would be college students now! I heard that college graduates are guaranteed to be assigned jobs, all of which are good jobs, iron rice bowls!"
Saying these things now is useless. Do they want Ruan Changfu to take whoever he wants? At that time, it was Ruan Xi and Liu Xinghua who proposed it together, and then they set traps and threatened to let Ruan Jie go.
After a while he said, "If you have time to talk nonsense now, you might as well think about how to control Xiaojie. After all, we are her parents. Now that she is successful, does she really not care about our life or death?"
Sun Xiaohui poked the rice with chopsticks and said, "I think this girl can do it."
After eating a mouthful of rice, she said, "It's mainly because of your parents' protection. Otherwise, how could I deal with a little girl like her? She dares not to take us seriously and ignore us just because she relies on the protection of her grandparents."
Ruan Changgui She said, "Don't fight and kill every day. Don't girls need to be coaxed? You should also learn how my mother coaxes girls. Third sister, fourth sister, Xiaoxi, Xiaojie, all of them are very kind to them."
Sun Xiaohui muttered, "Who has the time to coax girls? Only your parents..."
But now she really envied Liu Xinghua. Ruan Cuizhi made a lot of money with her tailoring skills. Ruanxi and Ruan Jie were admitted to university. The girls were all kind to her. Wouldn't she live a paradise-like life in the future?
But after thinking for a while, she felt that it was not right. No matter how good these girls were, what was the use? In the end, wouldn't they belong to other families? Since ancient times, only good boys were truly good and could bring honor to the family.
So she thought Liu Xinghua had a problem with her brain. She would rather spend time and energy on her daughters and granddaughters than on her sons and grandsons, and watched their family live a hard life without doing anything.
Ruan Changfu could obviously help Ruan Yuejin, but he refused to do so.
So she also whispered, "There is something wrong with her brain..."
After the news of Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie being admitted to the university spread in the village, whenever Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went out, other people's eyes were on them. Everyone had to talk to them for a few words, and even went to their homes to get good food for them. They were so enthusiastic.
Because the people in the village were so enthusiastic, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie would not go out because they would be stuffed with food when they went out.
They stayed at home, roasted fire and cooked food, and prepared things for the New Year with Liu Xinghua and Qian Chuan.
In the past two days, Sun Xiaohui came to Ruan Jie many times to show her courtesy and took out all the delicious food bought for the New Year. But Ruan Jie ignored her with a hard attitude, so she just asked for trouble. She took the things and left, and then went back to curse a few more times.
Ruan Cuizhi was busy outside these days making new clothes for the people in the mountains to wear during the New Year. She didn't go home until the day before New Year's Eve.
When she got home, it was almost time for lunch.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went to the toilet together, and when they came back, they happened to meet Ruan Cuizhi who had just returned.
The two did not go into the house, but stood in front of the house in the sun to greet Ruan Cuizhi.
Ruan Cuizhi was also very happy to see them, and waved to them with a smile.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie didn't notice that there was a man following her at first. When Ruan Cuizhi came closer, they realized that the man was with Ruan Cuizhi. He didn't seem to be from their village and they had never seen him before.
The man was quite tall, almost a head taller than Ruan Cuizhi. He looked to be in his early thirties. He had a lot of things in his hands, and it seemed that Ruan Cuizhi asked him to hold them.
Ruan Cuizhi greeted them with a smile: "Xiaoxi and Xiaojie are back."
Ruanxi and Ruan Jie called them Third Aunt. Ruanxi glanced at the man next to her and said: "Are you accepting a disciple?"
Ruan Cuizhi licked her lips with a smile, turned her head to look at the man next to her, and seemed a little embarrassed. When she looked at Ruanxi and Ruan Jie, she cleared her throat again, and after a long time, she smiled and said: "Your... Third Uncle..."
Ruanxi and Ruan Jie were stunned at the same time, and then their expressions and tones were synchronized, their jaws almost dropped to the ground, "Huh???"
