I thought that with her grades, it wouldn't take long for her to get the admission letter from Nanjing University, but before we knew it, it was the winter solstice, and people from other villages had already received their admission letters.
Some of the educated youth at the educated youth center in Panshi Village also received it.
Chu Ge even received an admission letter from Beijing University.
Kyoto University...
The best university in the country.
It is a place that is out of reach for many people.
Although Chu Ge was not from Panshi Village, he was an educated youth who went to Panshi Village as a sent-down youth.
Su Changjiang, the team leader, Xu Youcai and Wang Tiezhu all went to the educated youth site with gifts to express their congratulations.
Villagers also came one after another to see the admission letter and Chu Ge, the top scholar.
The scene was even more exciting than the one when the top scholar passed the imperial examination in ancient times.
Within two days, Chen Huihui also received an admission letter from Beijing University of Technology, although Beijing University of Technology is just an ordinary undergraduate university.
But in this era, college graduates have to be assigned a job.
Getting into university means that you can eat commercial grain and become a state official.
Su Changjiang, the team leader, Xu Youcai and Wang Tiezhu went to the educated youth site as usual. Although the gifts they gave to Chu Ge were not as much as those they gave to Chu Ge, they still said a lot of polite words.
These days, the villagers don’t seem to be afraid of the cold anymore. They are either at the educated youth center or on their way to the educated youth center.
I don’t have time to go around visiting other people’s businesses.
Shen Zhihuan's admission letter had not yet arrived, and Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia were somewhat disappointed.
They also saw the efforts of the second daughter-in-law.
But sometimes hard work is one thing and luck is another.
Apart from sighing about their bad luck, the two didn't know what to say.
Failing the college entrance examination was painful enough, and fearing that Shen Zhihuan would think too much, Su Changjiang and Zhang Fengxia privately told Zhou Xiuqiao and Su Zijun more than once not to talk about the college entrance examination and the admission letter at home.
So as not to irritate her.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching and the weather is getting colder.
The snow in the mountains was getting thicker and thicker, and from a distance it looked like a sea of white.
There was no snow on the country road, but it was still so cold that people were shivering.
There is no work in the fields, the popularity of college entrance examination admission notices has subsided, and with nothing exciting to watch, most villagers stay at home and do not go out.
Shen Zhihuan was already weak, and his condition became even worse in winter.
I went to the brigade headquarters two days ago and answered a call from Xiao Weidong. I caught a cold when I came back.
He developed a high fever before dark, and Su Changjiang was so scared that he ran all the way to Doctor Hua's house.
After drinking two bowls of medicine, the high fever subsided a little.
That night, Zhang Fengxia and Zhou Xiuqiao stayed by her bedside all the time.
Fearing that her illness would relapse, the two of them returned to the house to rest until dawn, when Shen Zhihuan's fever had completely subsided.
After that day, Zhang Fengxia and Su Changjiang refused to let Shen Zhihuan go out no matter what.
The charcoal brazier in Shen Zhihuan's room was also burning brightly.
Even Su Lili complained that her parents were partial to her when she came back from vacation.
"Sister-in-law, can I sleep with you tonight? It's too cold in my room."
Just after breakfast, Su Lili grabbed Shen Zhihuan and started to act pitifully.
"No!" Before Shen Zhihuan could speak, Zhang Fengxia, who was cleaning the dishes nearby, had already voiced her objection.
"What's wrong? When you sleep, you can flip from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, and the quilt can roll from the bed to the bottom of the bed. With people like you, don't bother your second sister-in-law." Zhang Fengxia said bluntly.
Zhou Xiuqiao, who was helping to clear the dishes at the table, couldn't help but laugh.
"Whose child doesn't sleep like that?!" Su Lili frowned.
"Have you ever seen a 14 or 15-year-old girl call someone a kid?" Zhang Fengxia snorted and laughed. "I'm telling you, don't bother your second sister-in-law. She's weak. If you make her sick, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Seeing her mother cleaning up the dishes and going to the kitchen, Su Lili started to pester Shen Zhihuan again.
"Second sister-in-law, just try to sleep with me for one night. If I really have such a bad sleeping posture, just kick me off the bed, okay?"
"If you are not afraid that your second brother will carry you to the back mountain to feed the wolves, then go ahead and pester your second sister-in-law." Su Changjiang, who was about to go out to the brigade headquarters, glanced at his little girl with drooping eyelids.
"Dad, can you bear to watch me being carried to the back mountain to feed the wolves by my second brother?" Su Lili approached Su Changjiang and held his arm.
"Why should I be sorry for a lazy and gluttonous person who makes no contribution to the family?" Su Changjiang broke free from Su Lili's hand and straightened his hat.
Su Lili stomped her feet in anger.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Am I your and mother's child?"
"I hope not. Throwing you out and saving one person's food ration to feed chickens, pigs, etc. is not better than feeding you." Su Changjiang smiled.
"father……"
Su Lili refused and just called out.
There was a knock on the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but frown.
Zhou Xiuqiao and Zhang Fengxia, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen, also frowned when they heard this.
Su Lili, not knowing what was going on, ran to open the door.
"Lili, when did you come back?" As soon as the door opened, a delicate female voice came in.
Hearing this voice, Su Changjiang couldn't help but frown.
It's almost the twelfth lunar month. As mentioned above, the educated youth in the educated youth camps can return to the city early to celebrate the New Year...
"I came back yesterday, Sister Huihui, and I heard that you were admitted to Beijing University of Technology. Congratulations to you." Su Lili said with a smile.
During the school holidays, Su Hongying, Zhao Xiaotao and Chen Huihui came several times. The two were of similar age, and Chen Huihui was eloquent and good at debate, so they got along pretty well.
"Lili, your sister Huihui has been admitted to university, you should also work hard! Don't be like some useless people who have to stay in this remote mountain area all their lives." Su Hongying spoke in a hoarse voice, as if she was afraid that the people in the room couldn't hear her.
"Su Hongying, are you talking about yourself or your little girl who hasn't even finished junior high school?" Su Changjiang looked at Su Hongying with a sullen face.
Remember to eat, not to beat.
He hasn’t picked up his lost face yet and he’s causing trouble again.
The smug look on Su Hongying's face froze, "Brother, you haven't gone to the brigade headquarters yet?"
"Knowing you were coming, shouldn't I be welcoming you at home?" Su Changjiang's face was grim.
If he wasn't at home, how could he have seen his good sister's face and her sharp words.
"Brother, I just want Lili to study hard and not be like her sister Xiaotao, who dropped out of school before finishing junior high school and has no future." Su Hongying twisted the corner of her jacket and explained with a blushing face.
"Uncle Su." Chen Huihui pursed her lips and called out in a tender voice.
"Chen Zhiqing is here too. Please sit inside. It's cold outside." Su Changjiang curled his lips with a forced smile.
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Fengxia, "Mother, have you added more charcoal to Zhihuan's room? Don't let it go out."
