It was after Pei Yan made money on the black market that he rebuilt the house.
There are only two people in the Pei family, and Pei Yan doesn't want to have any contact with the villagers at all. When he was young, he was maliciously treated by the children in the village.
Of course, if the woman in the family hadn't said it in front of the children, they wouldn't have thought of bullying him.
Good people are often bullied.
Pei Yan is certainly not someone who can be bullied easily.
Even this time, when he did well, the villagers' shock and joy had nothing to do with him.
He remained calm.
After knowing the results, the matter that he had already made up his mind finally came to fruition.
It’s almost right.
Only after he was sure that nothing would change did he dare to go and talk to Grandma Dong about this.
If the villagers hadn't been around and the leader wasn't there, he would have been impatient.
With Xu Zhiyi in first place, he, who came in second, still got a reward.
The village chief felt very honored.
He was really happy that his village could produce a local college student who surpassed so many educated youth from the city.
From now on, Xiangyang Village will definitely be listed in the commune.
This must be a good thing for the village chief.
The village chief is a good one and he always thinks about the village.
However, if Grandma Dong had not been here, even if he went to the city, he would have no sense of belonging to this village.
Secretary Zhou arrived with a group of people, then left again...
Even if the village chief said that his family had prepared food and asked them to have lunch before leaving, it was just a simple meal.
Aunt Wang was also told by the village chief to kill a chicken.
There are only three hens in total, and they are still laying eggs.
Aunt Wang was reluctant to do so. She was standing in front of the chicken coop with a kitchen knife, hesitating. When she was deciding whether to do it or not, Yang Jianjun came back.
"Mom, the leaders have left. Dad said they won't come for dinner, so you don't have to rush to kill the chicken." Yang Jianjun ran all the way back and spoke before he could even catch his breath.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she immediately went into the house happily with a kitchen knife.
If you save a chicken, you can lay one egg every day, which is just right for nourishing your grandson.
After the excitement, it was almost noon.
The bell for the end of work rang, and Gan Tiantian and Shen Zhaodi hugged Xu Zhiyi and returned to her wooden house first.
When Pei Yan returned, the Fang brothers and sisters were already waiting for him at the Pei family.
"Brother Yan, you are so amazing! You are already a prospective college student." Fang Hai patted Pei Yan.
He looked happier than Pei Yan, and was so excited that he couldn't help but get started.
Pei Yan strode past without even looking.
Fang Hai watched Pei Yan rush into the yard and go find Grandma Dong.
Fang Hai rubbed his head and murmured, "It seems that Brother Yan is anxious to find Grandma Dong and make her happy."
Pei Yan found Grandma Dong, his expression serious and determined, "Grandma, I want to propose to Zhiyi!"
"That's good." Grandma Dong was a little skeptical, "But Zhiyi's family is out of town, so we need to make careful arrangements for this trip."
Pei Yan thought Grandma Dong was worried about something.
"Uncle Xu and Aunt Dong will come to Xiangyang Village in a few days."
Grandma Dong clapped her hands. "That's great! No! We have to choose a good day nearby first."
The day after Secretary Zhou came to Xiangyang Village, the postman delivered Pei Yan and Xu Zhiyi's admission letters to Tsinghua University and Peking University in Beijing.
If you are both admitted, you can only report to school in early March.
Time was running out. In order to inform the Xu family and ask them to leave for the countryside as soon as possible, Xu Zhiyi sat on the back of Pei Yan's bicycle and went to the county town.
There is no telephone in Xiangyang Village yet, so if you want to make a call you have to go to the telephone booth next to the post office.
There is no time to explain it clearly just by sending a telegram.
Xu Zhiyi decided to call anyway.
She had talked to Jiang's mother at Xu's house before, asking them to take a leave and come to the countryside so that the two families could have a meal together and finalize the engagement.
As for getting married later, it depends on what they decide.
Xu Zhiyi dialed the number. There was an old man at the phone booth in Yangliu Lane. After asking for the address, he called someone to answer the phone.
The phone bill was too expensive, so I had to hang up and wait for Jiang's mother to call back.
Whether you are making a call or receiving a call, both sides are charged, there is no difference.
Xu Zhiyi and Pei Yan stood in the phone booth waiting for less than ten minutes when Jiang's mother called.
"Nannan, is that you?"
"Mom, it's me. A'Yan and I have received admission letters from Jingshi University and will be attending school in early March. You and Dad should come to Xiangyang Village so that our two families can meet."
"Okay, okay! I told you my daughter can do it! No, I have to go and tell your elder sister." Mother Jiang smiled happily and her voice unconsciously became louder.
"You'll be a college student in Beijing from now on!"
The old man in the phone booth was holding the newspaper for a long time without moving, listening to what Jiang's mother said with his ears perked up.
College student?
It's a treasure these days.
It would be really enviable if there was a college student in the family.
"Okay, Mom. You guys set a date. I'll ask A Yan to come to the city and call you tomorrow. After we buy the tickets, we can pick you up at the train station." Xu Zhiyi said.
"Okay! I'll ask your father to buy the tickets quickly. I'll be at home tomorrow, waiting for a call." Jiang's mother said.
"Has Mr. Xu received any notification?"
"No. Mr. Xu hasn't been very active in eating lately. I guess he's thinking about this."
"It's okay, maybe they'll be here in a couple of days. Some schools just have to be late."
"Hey, what's the big deal? He's just a little boy. If he can't do it this year, he can try again next year."
