Chapter 171: Notice Arrives, Science Top Scorer
The Spring Festival of 1977 and 1978 passed in the laughter of everyone.
Before the Lantern Festival, admission letters from various universities were sent out one after another.
Some people in the surrounding communes had already received their admission letters. When Su Heng heard about this, she couldn't help but squat at the door every day to see if there was a postman coming.
But the door is as quiet as a chicken every day.
She couldn't help but say to Lu Mingchuan, "Did I fill in the address wrongly?"
"No, he must have been delayed by something. He will come eventually." Lu Mingchuan comforted.
But the Lantern Festival has passed and there is still no news.
She couldn't help but say to Song Wan, "The three of us have the same answers. If one of us fails, we won't be together."
She was originally quite confident in herself, but as she waited day by day, she began to doubt whether she had filled in the answers incorrectly or someone had swapped her test paper.
Fortunately, Pu Fengliang kept her position. Otherwise, she would have to go back to work in two days.
Song Wan was also unsure, but she still comforted him by saying, "If you fail, you can take the exam again next year. It won't be a problem if you start college a year later."
The news of summer enrollment has not been released yet, so everyone thought that the second college entrance examination would have to wait another year.
Cheng Yi had a better attitude than the other two. He felt that he had quite a bit of freedom here, and if he failed the exam, he could just take it again.
While he is not in school, he can concentrate on taking care of his wife and children every day after Wanwan gives birth.
But his idea was doomed to fail.
The next day, when Su Heng was eating melon seeds at home with a sad face, there was a knock on the gate.
There was suddenly a lot of noise outside, and it seemed quite lively.
Lu Mingchuan hurried to open the door, and Su Heng curiously leaned in to look, and saw Secretary Zou, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, followed by a group of people from the team.
She didn't react to what was happening for a moment.
"Comrade Su Heng, congratulations on becoming the city's top scorer in science and successfully being admitted to Peking University!"
Number one?!
She turned out to be the top scorer!
When Su Heng realized what was happening, she couldn't help but smile.
She hurried forward to receive her admission letter. It was the letter from the University of Tokyo. She failed in her previous life, but her dream finally came true in this life!
He opened the envelope and took out the paper. It was a thin piece of paper, but it felt heavy to Su Heng.
She couldn't help but look again and again.
Secretary Zou took a handbag from his subordinate, handed it to Su Heng, and said, "This is the scholarship given to you by the city. The journey to Beijing is long, so if you have any difficulties, please tell us."
There was a thousand yuan in the bag, which was a huge reward.
Su Heng hurriedly thanked him, and Secretary Zou waved his hand.
"This is as it should be. Our Changlin City has produced three top students from Peking University at once. This is worth celebrating!"
"Three? The other two are..."
As they were talking, Song Wan and Cheng Yi were called over by the team.
"Your Red Star Brigade is truly a place of hidden talents. There are only three people in the city who have been admitted to Beijing University, and they are all from your brigade."
It should be said that there are only a few of them in the province, and there are three of them from a remote small county in Changlin City.
Secretary Zou's face was also very bright.
Secretary Chen was even more proud, as these were all from his team. Thinking about how he had farmed alongside top students from Peking University, he could brag about it for the rest of his life!
In the end, Song Wan and Cheng Yi received scholarships of 800 and 500 respectively.
The three of them were given big red flowers and stood at the door of the brigade office for a photo. Su Heng also took a photo alone with Mayor Zou.
Then Lu Mingchuan went to communicate and said that he wanted to take a family photo with Su Heng while holding the child.
So they borrowed a camera from a city reporter and took their first family photo standing at the gate of the Red Star Brigade.
The reporter was very generous and didn't ask for any money. He just asked the postman to bring it over in a few days.
He has to write an exclusive interview article when he gets back. He feels proud of it because this is the face of their city.
The people from the city didn't leave until the afternoon, and Su Heng and the others were surrounded by the villagers and congratulated for a long time.
People from the laboratory also came to congratulate her.
Pu Fengliang also gave her a letter: "Old Zheng is my long-time friend and also a teacher at your School of Economics and Management. You are my student, and you won't know anyone there. I asked him to take care of me. Don't hesitate to ask him if you have any questions."
Su Heng took this letter of great significance and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
Pu Fengliang waved his hand and added, "The Hope No. 1 we've been researching has already been bred and will be planted in the spring. We might have good news this year. Remember to come back and take a look. This is also your hard work."
"Then we must come back and harvest wheat with everyone else."
She really met a group of good teachers and friends.
When Su Heng returned home, for the first time, she didn't rush to count the money. Instead, she took the notice and said to Lu Mingchuan:
"I'm a Kyoto University student now, let's go tell our parents the good news!"
It is already February 23rd, and the notice states that they should report before March.
We have to pack up and leave in the next two days. Song Wan and the others said they would wait for them.
Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan went to the capital, and with a child, it was not convenient for them to stay in a guesthouse, so Song Wan invited them to stay at her home.
Her grandfather was recently rehabilitated and the family's house was returned to them.
So on the 24th, Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan took Qiuqiu back to the Su family to say goodbye to their family members.
The whole family was happy, but also sad and reluctant.
They went there on two bicycles because they couldn't take these things to Beijing. Checking in luggage was too troublesome these days and it was easy to get lost.
The car was just sitting there anyway, so I left one for the Su family.
Su Heng also specifically gave Su Jing the mailing address for selling medicinal herbs. The control has been relaxed a lot this year, and since he is small in scale, it doesn't matter.
After staying at the Su family for a day, they packed up their things at home on the 25th.
Because they had a place to stay, they didn't need to bring bedding or anything else. They just had to carry clothes and daily necessities, mainly Qiuqiu's many small clothes.
Su Heng also specially made a cloth backpack with ventilation holes for Zhaocai and Mask Man so that they could carry it directly on the train when the time comes.
It takes two days to travel by bus because there is no direct train, so they need to go to the province first and then transfer.
So the two of them only packed some necessities and tried to travel as light as possible.
Dry food also needs to be prepared. Lu Mingchuan likes to eat fish and shrimp cakes. Su Heng satisfied him and caught a lot of them from the river. This time, she made them all into spicy fish and shrimp cakes.
Add some white flour buns and don’t forget to pair it with fried pickles.
There was still a jar of honey left, so I took that with me.
I didn’t finish eating the frozen pears, so I put them in a bag.
Anyway, in the end, I only had two large bags of luggage, and that was after I had reduced the weight.
There was also an inconspicuous gray-green backpack, which contained all their belongings, more than 13,000 yuan.
Then it will be handed over to Lu Mingchuan for care.
After packing up their things, the two of them made an appointment with Song Wan and the others to go to the city to catch a bus early the next morning. Since it was a morning train, they were in a hurry.
But unexpectedly, everyone in the village heard the news and wanted to see them off, so they specially asked Sun Datou to drive a tractor to take them to the city the next day.
"The team has also prepared some travel expenses for you. Although it's not much, it's a token of our sincere gratitude."
