Cheng Mingyue's notification letter arrived last, but along with it came notification letters from professors from several major universities.
The reason they came was that Cheng Mingyue did so well in the exam that she accidentally became the top scorer in the country.
When professors from several major universities saw that she had applied to medical school, they were so angry that their noses were crooked. How could such a talented person study medicine? That would be a waste of talent.
An old professor from Beijing No. 2 Medical College also came with them. When he saw that they were actually belittling their medical school, he was so angry that he fumed.
"What's wrong with our medical school? What's wrong with studying medicine? You actually look down on our medical school. You'd better not go to the hospital for treatment in the future, or I'll let my students stab you old guys to death with needles."
Several professors were spitted on in the face, and their faces turned red.
"Are you being unreasonable? We don't really look down on your medical school. We just think that with such good grades, she should serve her country and not let her talent go to waste!"
"That's right, Lao Zhou, we are all selecting talents for the country. We don't have any selfish motives. There is no need for you to target us!"
The professor at the medical school was named Zhou Miao. He was a very stubborn person. He just said, "Pooh!"
"Our medical school students also work to cure diseases and save lives, and they contribute to the country.
Besides, the girl originally applied to our school, and you old fools insisted on coming to me to snatch her away. Now you are even turning the tables and accusing me of targeting you. How shameless of you!
The village chief and his family were stunned.
They thought that the professors in the school were highly educated intellectuals and must be well-educated and well-mannered people. They didn't expect these old men to be so vulgar and even more outrageous than them, the farmers.
Cheng Mingyue could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she looked at the professors and said:
"Professors, thank you for your respect and for making this special trip. However, I'm afraid I'm really going to disappoint you this time. I've been studying medicine with my master for several years, and I don't want to give up halfway. I have no choice but to continue my studies. Besides, I'm only interested in studying medicine right now. I'm really sorry."
The professors couldn't help but persuade her a few more times, just to ask her to change her mind and go to their school instead.
This really pissed off Mr. Zhou: "Are you stinking flies? The little girl has already said she wants to study medicine, and you keep trying to persuade her, right? If you keep doing this, I'm going to report you."
After this statement was made, the professors had nothing else to say but to feel so angry that their stomachs hurt.
Elder Zhou's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Isn't there someone who is tied for first place with the little girl? You can go and persuade him to go to your school, right?!"
After hearing this, several people became even angrier.
That one was even more impressive. He applied to the Chinese People's Liberation Army National Defense University. Even if they had the guts to do so, they wouldn't dare to go there and snatch people away.
The village chief was unaware of the twists and turns here. When she heard that someone had won the first place in the imperial examination together with her daughter, she asked curiously:
"Who is that person? He is so powerful."
This wasn't a secret. A professor directly said, "That person is from our Jing City, his name is Lu Chen."
"What did you say, that person's name is Lu Chen?"
The village chief and several others felt as if they had been punched in the chest. They all turned to look at Cheng Mingyue, fearing that she would be sad when she heard this name.
Cheng Mingyue lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. It was as if she didn't hear anything and she didn't react at all.
While several people breathed a sigh of relief, they were even angrier.
Several professors have lived for half their lives and they knew something was wrong. However, although they were very curious, they held back and did not say anything.
Li Da Laba and others who came to inquire about the news could not help but exclaimed: "Village Chief, your Lu Chen is also the top scholar..."
After they finished speaking, they quickly covered their mouths, realizing belatedly that they had said the wrong thing.
In recent years, the name Lu Chen has been a taboo in the Baihe Brigade, and no one dares to mention it in front of the Cheng family.
Unexpectedly, they were so surprised that they just let Tu Lu go out like that, covering their mouths and not daring to say anything.
The village chief glanced at Cheng Mingyue and saw that her face was still expressionless. He couldn't help but sigh and asked the professors:
"Do you know what school Lu Chen, the one you mentioned, applied to?"
"We can't reveal this. So, do you know Lu Chen?"
Several professors looked curious. It was great that they could now ask this question with a legitimate reason.
"... Well, to be honest, Lu Chen is our son-in-law. He worked in our village and married my daughter. He left two years ago and there's been no news since..."
As the village chief was speaking, he squatted down sadly, covering his face with his hands, as if he was about to cry.
"Dad, it's the past, don't mention it. You guys entertain the professors, I'm going out for a walk."
After Cheng Mingyue left, several professors looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know the situation would be like this.
Two top scorers in one subject, what a happy and proud thing it is. The two young people are a perfect match in terms of knowledge. Why is that?
But they didn't think Lu Chen was a heartless man or anything, because Cheng Mingyue was so beautiful, even in their Beijing city they couldn't find such a beautiful girl.
Considering that Lu Chen applied to that kind of school, they felt that there must be some misunderstanding.
Mr. Zhou patted the village chief on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother, I think you should not be sad for now. If you are sad like this, even your daughter will feel bad if she sees you.
Besides, I don't think Lu Chen is that kind of person. He must have been delayed by something, and he will definitely not abandon your daughter, so you can rest assured."
The village chief was stunned when he heard this, "Could it really be something that delayed him?"
It would be nice if that were the case.
Apart from their inferior family background, the two children were well matched in all aspects. Although her Yue'er didn't say anything, they could see that she had deep feelings for Lu Chen.
Besides, they are already married, and if possible, he doesn't want his daughter to be sad.
Finally, Wang Guihua, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went into the kitchen to cook. After a while, Cheng Mingyue came home with two fish.
Mr. Zhou is a man who loves fish. When he saw the fish, his eyes lit up: "Oh, this is the fish you caught. It's really big."
"Well, I just went to the river and caught two. You can have a taste of my cooking skills later."
Cheng Mingyue also asked several professors if they had any food taboos or preferred flavors. When she heard that they had no food taboos and their tastes tended to be sweet, she had an idea.
Cheng Xiangdong took the fish swiftly and went to the backyard to process it.
During this time, the village chief poured tea and water for several professors, and they had a very pleasant chat.
After a while, several professors' buttocks seemed to be pricked by thorns. They twisted and turned, kept glancing towards the kitchen, and even spoke absent-mindedly.
