In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and the college entrance examination results that more than five million candidates had been looking forward to finally came out.
“Beep…beep…”
Early in the morning, Gong Linglong and her friends were having breakfast at home when the phone rang. Little Gong Pengze, who loved answering the phone, quickly climbed down from the stool and went to answer the phone with his little butt twisted.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is it Dabao, Erbao or Xiaobao? I am the great-grandfather. Are mom and dad at home?" Grandpa Lu's smiling voice came from the other side.
"Grandpa, I'm Xiaobao. Mom and Dad are having dinner. Have you eaten yet?"
"Xiaobao, Grandpa hasn't had breakfast yet, but he's going to eat soon. Grandpa called to tell you some good news. Your mother's college entrance examination results are out. She was the top scorer in Kyoto and was accepted into the Foreign Languages Department of Kyoto University. The admission letter has been sent to Grandpa."
The old man was holding his grandson's wife's admission letter in his hand, smiling from ear to ear, "Xiaobao, tell your mother the good news quickly."
"Mom, your college entrance examination results are out. You are the top scorer in Kyoto and have been admitted to Kyoto University. The notice is with my great-grandfather, and he asked you to go and get it." Xiaobao reported the good news quickly.
"Kyoto's top scholar?"
Han Ji was slightly surprised and immediately went to answer the phone: "Hello, Uncle Lu, is Linglong the top scholar in Kyoto?"
"Yes, the top scorer, ten points higher than the second place. Just now, Lao Li from the Ministry of Education came over in person and delivered Linglong's admission letter."
Han Ji smiled when he heard this and told the group of people who had gathered around him, "Linglong is the top scorer in the liberal arts, ten points higher than the second place."
After that, he asked again: "Uncle Lu, what are Jingchuan and Jingyang's grades?"
"I didn't ask." Mr. Lu replied.
Han Ji: “…”
"It doesn't matter whether they passed the exam or not. As long as I have a top-scoring grandson-in-law, that's enough."
Mr. Lu was very happy now, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Aji, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going out for a walk, tell Linglong to find time to come and pick up the admission letter."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a "click" and went out for a stroll with the notice to show off.
Madam Lu laughed beside him and chased after him, shouting, "The snow outside hasn't been cleared yet. You can go out later."
"No, I can't wait even a second." Mr. Lu went out in the cold wind.
The old man didn't care about his grandchildren's grades, and Lu Jingchuan didn't care about his own grades either. He didn't even think about asking about it. At this moment, he was sitting by the coffee table and dialing the phone non-stop, calling all the elders and relatives to announce the good news. Just like the old man, he was bragging about the good news that his wife had become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination.
They were very happy, but Gong Linglong, the person involved, acted as if nothing had happened. She continued to eat noodles slowly with her bowl in hand, and stood by and listened to the four of them bragging.
That morning, everyone checked their results. Lu Jingchuan's college entrance examination score was quite high, ranking 16th in the city in science, which was more than enough to get into Tsinghua University. He was admitted to the Military Command College with the first place score and went to the school to get the admission notice that day.
Lu Jingyang's score was ten points lower than his brother's, but he was admitted to a prestigious law school as he wished. All three of them were admitted to key universities, which made Grandpa Lu very happy.
The other younger generations of the Lu family also did well in the exams. Lu Dongzheng's two children, the younger son just passed the second-tier university entrance exam, while the daughter failed to get into the undergraduate program and chose to study nursing at a technical college.
Lu Qiuju's academic performance in this exam was above average, but since she held a military position in the art troupe and had enrolled in the military art school, her dream of going to college had come true.
The other uncles and aunts of the Lu family also had one student each who passed the exam, but they were all junior college graduates, and such results made them satisfied.
The Zhou and Han families had similar test results. Most of the younger generations in both families applied to military academies. Their academic performance did not necessarily have to be the best, but with military merits and honors, there were also a few people from each family who made the list.
Ji Wei's academic performance was much lower than Lu Jingchuan's, but he also exceeded the admission score. He and his fellow apprentice went together to pick up the admission letter.
Xu Jiayu scored very high this time, ranking among the top ten in the city, and had the highest score among the candidates admitted to Kyoto College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shui Meirong accompanied her to check her results, and after seeing her high score, she hugged her and cried with joy.
Peng Zhengxian, who is dating Xu Jiayu, also got admitted to university. He applied to Kyoto Institute of Technology, which is also a key university, and chose a major in mechanical engineering.
This is a lively day and firecrackers can be heard everywhere.
The Lu family in the compound set off a lot of firecrackers to celebrate. Han Ji from the Gong family also bought some firecrackers to set off. He also bought a bag of candy and distributed it to passers-by and neighbors.
Mr. Lu had promised to reward his grandchildren who passed the exam, and he paid out the prize money on the same day. Those who passed the undergraduate exam received 200 yuan, those who passed the junior college exam received 100 yuan, and the others who failed the exam received a pen.
Gong Linglong, the granddaughter-in-law of the number one scholar, brought the most honor to the Lu family, so she was awarded 300 yuan in cash and a big red flower made by Mrs. Lu herself.
The two elders of the Zhou family and the two elders of the Han family were each rewarded with 200 yuan. Lu Nanzheng, Zhou Lanqin, Han Ji and Gong Wantang were also rewarded with 200 yuan each. The elders of the three families of Lu, Zhou and Han all received rewards. The leader of the civil affairs department also applied for a reward for her, which was also a cash reward of 300 yuan, and a large stack of books and stationery.
"Aunt, that's a lot of money."
While having dinner at the Lu family in the evening, Gong Linglong took out all of her bonuses from today and placed them in a big pile on the table, which made little Lu Zhen so envious that his eyes widened.
"If you study hard, you will be able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination like your aunt, and you will also receive so many rewards." Li Wanqiu taught him with a smile.
Lu Zhen thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked, "Has anyone ever won the first prize in a fight?"
Li Wanqiu: “…”
"hehe."
Everyone else laughed.
Lu Jingchuan grabbed his nephew and tossed him around like a toy, teasing him, "If you can't be the top scholar in literature, you can be the top scholar in martial arts."
"Then I will be the martial arts champion."
Lu Zhen had no interest in studying or taking exams, he was only interested in sparring and fighting.
"You want to be the top martial arts champion? Come, first fight with Mingbao and the other two." Lu Jingchuan gave him a chance to show his skills.
"Let me beat my brother?" Lu Zhen asked him.
"Yes, I'll give you a fair chance to beat your brother."
Lu Jingchuan moved the stools next to him, making room for the four of them to perform. He then instructed his third son, "Mingbao, Axiao, and Xiaopeng, come spar with me. Show me what you've learned in the camp and show me what you can do."
"They are less than one year old. I can knock them over with just a flip and a kick." Lu Zhen was very proud when it came to fighting.
"Don't talk big yet, fight them first."
Lu Jingchuan stood aside, directing the fight, folding his arms and saying, "One versus three, officially begin. The winner will receive a ten-yuan reward, plus a box of chocolate candy."
