Soon after the Chinese New Year, Qingshuihe received a letter from the army. Wei Zhenxing opened the letter and read a few lines. He, who has always been reticent, couldn't help but exclaim, and his face was full of joy.
Wang Chunhua asked hurriedly: "What happened? Is it good?"
Wei Zhenxing didn't answer for a while and continued to read the letter.
Wang Chunhua slapped his back in a hurry, "You, quickly say it!"
Zhenxing hurriedly scanned the letter and then said: "Second sister-in-law ranked third in the Capital College Examination. In February, she will go to the Capital University to study."
"Really?!" Wang Chunhua's eyes widened.
Wei Jianhua said in shock: "Second sister-in-law is really amazing!"
Wang Chunhua snatched the letter, scanned it a few times, and still couldn't understand it. She took the letter to her younger son, "Read it to me."
Wei Jianhua read it from the beginning, and Feng Qiuyue also brought her daughter over to listen.
After listening, Feng Qiuyue exclaimed: "I heard that many people in our brigade took the exam this year, but only two of them are admitted, including the one educated youth that came from the city. Xiaoyun is really amazing."
"Isn't it?" Wang Chunhua nodded afterward.
In the first few months, as soon as the policy of resuming the college entrance examination came out, their small Qingshuihe brigade had also been lively for a while.
Most educated youths, some of whom went to the countryside early, knew that there was no hope of returning to the city. They were already married and had children in Qingshuihe. When they heard that they could enter a university, their minds were shaken.
And their spouses, because of the possibility of being abandoned, were very unwilling. So in the passing days, from time to time, they can hear the cries and noises of those unwilling families.
Chunhua didn't know if it was lucky or unfortunate that none of those people were admitted.
Wang Chunhua was pleased that her second daughter-in-law passed such a difficult exam but suddenly remembered a question, "If Xiaoyun goes to school, wouldn't Xiaoyuan have no one to take care of him?"
Wei Jianhua said: "Don't worry about it. When the second sister-in-law goes to school, Xiaoyuan also goes to school. When Xiaoyuan leaves school, second sister-in-law also goes home. Isn't that alright? Besides, there's still the second brother to watch them."
"You know a lot," Wang Chunhua said, and instructed him, "Why don't you go to your second sister-in-law's house and say the news?"
"Got it." Wei Jianhua pouted his mouth and walked out.
"Wait a minute, take that bamboo shoot in the corner."
He Xiaoyun actually wrote a letter to her family too, but Li Yuegui didn't receive it yet for the time being. After hearing Wei Jianhua's news, she(LY) didn't respond for a long time.
"You said, Xiaoyun took the exam, passed it, and was admitted to Capital University?!"
"Yes," Wei Jianhua confirmed, "Second Sister-in-law took the exam, and is the third placer in the entire capital. If she took the exam here, maybe she'll place first!"
After he left, Li Yuegui went around in a circle in the yard, smiling happily for a while, and then reproached He Xiaoyun in her heart for not speaking in advance.
After a long time, Li Yuegui made a decision to buy a string of firecrackers to set off tomorrow morning. If someone asked, she would be able to boast the news triumphantly.
The reason why Li Yuegui is so enthusiastic is that something made her angry a few days ago.
Coincidentally, the only person in Qingshuihe who was admitted to a college was Zhang Yurong, an educated youth. The matter of her having a blind date with Wei Jianwei who was later intercepted by He Xiaoyun was still talked about by some idlers on the team.
Let's see what those long-tongued(gossipers) women have to say! I let them be sour to death!
T/N: After so many days, I finally revived! (Math is evil, like, the only thing I like about numbers is when they turn into money!) And this Zhang Yurong appeared again, and I don't like her at all (like you can't help but unlike her even though she's done nothing yet.)
