Han Zhenyu went to the factory after breakfast.
He has to complete the resignation procedures today, and will have to hand over his work in the next few days and clean up the house before the New Year.
He had just handed in his resignation letter to Li Chong when he heard his name being called on the factory radio.
"Transportation Team Chief Han Zhenyu, Transportation Team Captain Li Huazhang, Material Department Zhou Ming... Please come to the Propaganda Department."
The broadcast called out three times in a row.
Li Chong smiled and said, "The day before yesterday afternoon, the factory leaders were discussing awarding bonuses to workers who were admitted to college. They probably called you for this matter. Go and take a look."
"Yes, Uncle Li, I'll go over first." Han Zhenyu did not call him by his title, but affectionately followed Li Shaohua in calling him uncle.
During the years in the factory, Li Chong had given him a lot of convenience. Now that he had resigned, they were no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship, and could get along as relatives and friends in the future.
When Li Chong heard him calling him uncle, he felt very comfortable and stood up and patted his shoulder affectionately.
"Go quickly. Let me know when you're leaving for Beijing. Your aunt and I will see you off."
Li Chong sent him to the office door. As Han Zhenyu left, he smiled and said, "Uncle, my wife was admitted to university, too."
"Oh, really? Which school did you get into?"
Li Chong was so surprised that he didn't even notice the hint of boasting in his tone.
"She's also from Peking University, but she did better than me in the exam and was number one in our province." Han Zhenyu said the number one in the province calmly, shocking Li Chong.
Yesterday, his two children were still discussing that the provincial top scholar would come from their county, but they never thought that it would be Han Zhenyu's wife.
He opened his mouth and suddenly laughed, "Zhenyu, you and your wife really surprised me. You both got admitted to Beijing University at the same time. I'm so excited that I don't know what to say."
Han Zhenyu said modestly: "Uncle, we are both lucky."
"You are too modest, do you think I know nothing? If I am lucky enough to be admitted to Kyoto University, the gates of the university will be trampled down."
Li Chong looked at him with satisfaction, and a little envy in his heart.
His daughter and son also took the college entrance examination, and Han Zhenyu sent them a set of examination papers some time ago. But the two children were average students and failed the exam.
"Go quickly, don't keep your leader waiting for you." Li Chong waved at him for fear of delaying his work.
Han Zhenyu smiled and nodded, then turned and went to the publicity class.
Several leaders of the machinery factory were there, including Director Xia, Deputy Director Bai, the head of the propaganda department, and the director of the political department.
Several leaders first expressed their blessings to them, shook hands with each of them, and especially praised Han Zhenyu who was admitted to Peking University.
The staff of the Propaganda Department helped those who were admitted to the university to receive big red flowers and also gave each person a bonus.
Han Zhenyu performed best in the exam and was awarded 200 yuan. Two others were awarded 100 yuan, and the remaining four were awarded 50 yuan each.
Han Zhenyu holds the highest position among those who were admitted to the university, and is also familiar with the leaders present.
After the rest of the people left, he still sat in the office chatting with the leaders.
As they were talking, the topic turned to the province's top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Section Chief Qin of the Propaganda Department said, "I heard that the top scorer in the college entrance examination is from our Nanping County, and she is a female comrade. It has been published in the provincial newspaper today. I just flipped through it and it has a whole page."
"Oh, it actually came from our county, I have to take a closer look." Director Xia said as he flipped through the newspaper on the table. He hadn't had time to read the news today.
"I listened to the radio yesterday, and it seemed that the top scorer in the college entrance examination was from Hongqi Commune, an educated youth who came to the countryside from Haishi." said a young staff member of the Propaganda Department.
Han Zhenyu saw that the atmosphere had reached this point, and it would seem a bit deliberate if he didn't say it.
He smiled and said to everyone, "Dear leaders, the top scorer in the college entrance examination you are talking about should be my wife. Yesterday, the Education Bureau went to my house to deliver a notice saying that she ranked first in the province. I also listened to the report on the radio, but I haven't read the newspaper yet."
The office fell silent. Several leaders and people from the Propaganda Department turned their heads to look at him.
Director Xia turned the newspaper to the first page, which contained the contents of this year's college entrance examination.
A name called Su Xieqiu appeared several times on it.
"Zhenyu, your wife's name is Su Xieqiu? An educated youth from Haishi who went to the countryside?"
"Yes, Director Xia." Han Zhenyu nodded. Seeing their shocked expressions, he felt very proud.
His wife is so amazing that she actually got the top score in the imperial examination. Is this something that an ordinary person can do?
After a while, warm applause broke out in the Propaganda Department's office.
The young clerks all shook hands with him and congratulated him.
"Zhenyu, I only knew that you were a capable man, but I didn't expect that your wife is even more capable than any man." Director Xia held his hand and sighed with a smile: "From now on, it will be your era, young people, work hard."
Han Zhenyu stood up straight and said solemnly: "Yes, Director. I will never forget the leader's teachings."
After coming out of the office, Han Zhenyu went to show off to his acquaintances before returning to the transport team with a smile on his face.
At lunch, most people in the factory knew that Han Zhenyu from the transportation team had been admitted to Peking University.
His wife is even better than him. She ranked first in Liaoning Province and was even reported on the radio and in newspapers.
Han Zhenyu has always been low-key in the factory. This is the first time he has shown off everywhere.
There was no way. He really couldn't keep a low profile this time. Who made his wife so amazing? She got the top score in the exam. Even if he didn't say it, she would know it later.
Han Zhenyu sat in the cafeteria, eating his meal slowly and enjoying the envious looks from all around.
It would normally take only ten minutes to finish the meal, but today I have been sitting here for almost half an hour and the rice in the bowl has already gone cold.
