Chenchen and An'an already knew that Han Zhenyu had been admitted to a university in Beijing. The brother and sister were extremely happy these two days.
Just now after school, An An saw Lin Junxi and gave him a smile.
Just as he was about to share the good news with him, the boy saw the she-devil smiling at him for no reason and sensed that something was wrong, so he picked up his schoolbag and ran away.
This made An An very unhappy, and she prepared to beat him up in the afternoon to vent her anger.
Chenchen put down his schoolbag and saw a note on the coffee table. It was from grandma, saying that she and grandpa would not be back for lunch. She asked Chenchen and Anan to make something for themselves or go to the cafeteria to eat.
Gu Fanghua and Jiang Shaoting's units are quite far from the compound, so they don't come back for lunch.
Chenchen handed the note to An'an, "Sister, do you want to cook or go to the cafeteria?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria. I heard from Cancan that they have Dongpo pork elbow and fried hairtail today. I want to eat them."
As An An spoke, he opened the cabinet where the money was kept and took out two dollars, as well as meat coupons and grain coupons.
"Okay, I'll go wash my hands."
Chenchen was about to go to the bathroom, and when he passed the living room, the phone rang.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Su Xieqiu heard a familiar voice coming from the other side and asked with a smile: "Hello, is this Chenchen?"
"Aunt Su, it's me, it's me. Did Uncle Han get into college? When are you coming over so we can clean up the house."
Chenchen's series of questions made Su Xieqiu laugh out loud.
But before she could open her mouth, An An's happy voice was heard again.
"Brother, let me talk to Aunt Su."
An An snatched the phone from Chen Chen and chattered, "Aunt Su, Aunt Su, I miss you. When will you and Uncle Han bring your brothers and sisters over? And my great-grandmother and great-grandfather, I miss them so much, let them come too."
Maybe it was because the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were a lot of people calling in the post office. There were several people waiting in line behind him, so Su Xieqiu could only make his speech short.
"An'an, your family misses you and Chenchen too. Your uncle Han and I have both been admitted to universities in Beijing, and we will visit you after the Chinese New Year. Please don't write to me or send anything before the Chinese New Year, for fear that we won't receive it."
Su Xieqiu heard a female comrade behind her urging her again, thinking it must be something urgent. She nodded slightly and spoke faster.
"An An, don't call the machinery factory anymore. Your Uncle Han has already resigned. I'll bring my brothers and sisters to call you next Sunday morning."
When Chenchen and Anan heard her say that she would come to Beijing after the New Year, they screamed excitedly.
"Aunt Su, is this true? Is the whole family coming?"
"It's true." Su Xieqiu couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips when she heard the two children were so happy.
"Chenchen, An'an, there are still many people waiting to call, so we won't talk much today. Auntie will hang up first. Don't forget to say hello to the elders at home on my behalf."
"I got it, Aunt Su. Go slowly when you go back. Don't forget to call us next week. I have something to say to my brother and sister." An An said quickly over there.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I won't forget it." Su Xieqiu smiled, shook his head, and hung up the phone.
After she came out of the post office, she went to the state-owned restaurant to eat something.
Then he found a deserted place, took a bag of apples that he had prepared last night from the space, and walked to the county party committee compound.
In the past two years, she has been visiting the Chang family more frequently, but has never taken anything valuable from them.
County Magistrate Chang is an upright official and she doesn't want to add burden to others.
She was also afraid that others would suspect that she had other intentions. Otherwise, why would she rush to give gifts?
It’s good like this now, just an ordinary relationship.
When you come, pick up some vegetables grown in the fields, give some homemade snacks to the kids, or buy a few pounds of fruit.
None of them are valuable and they won’t cause any trouble to others.
When Su Xieqiu arrived at the Chang family, County Magistrate Chang and his wife had both gone to work.
After the two children went to school, Mrs. Chang was left alone at home.
"Xieqiu, it's so cold, why are you here?" Old Lady Chang quickly pulled her into the house, "Come sit inside and warm up. I'll go get you some sugar water. By the way, have you eaten? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Su Xieqiu put the bag of apples on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Auntie, don't bother. I've had dinner."
Old Mrs. Chang poured her a cup of brown sugar water, put a plate of fruit on it, and took out a plate of peanuts and melon seeds.
"If you don't come today, I'm going to go there in two days."
As Mrs. Chang peeled an orange for her, she asked, "Xieqiu, how did you and Zhenyu do in the exam?"
Su Xieqiu took a sip of water and said to her gratefully, "Auntie, thanks to you, Han Zhenyu and I were admitted to universities in Beijing. I came here today to thank you. If it weren't for the review materials you sent us, we might not have gotten such good grades."
Old Mrs. Chang looked at her in surprise. "Xie Qiu, really, you two got in. Which university in Beijing did you get into?"
"Auntie, we were both admitted to Beijing University."
When Mrs. Chang heard her name the school, she opened her mouth in surprise. "When I sent my child to school this morning, I heard that the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Liao Province was from our Nanping County. Could it be one of you and Zhenyu?"
Su Xieqiu put down the teacup and nodded shyly, "Auntie, it's me."
Needless to say, Old Lady Chang praised her a lot, which made Su Xieqiu feel embarrassed. She modestly said that she was lucky.
It was two hours later when she came out of Chang's house.
Because if it was any later there would be no mule carts returning to the village.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark around four in the afternoon.
She had to find a place to take out the things in the space, and then catch the last sled back to Sanhua Brigade.
