Chapter 133 Admission Notice
Chapter 133 Admission Notice
If his smile weren't so dazzling, you'd really think he didn't care, judging from his tone!
Lu Mingxi tilted his head, stubbornly insisting in a somewhat childish manner: "It's just touching!"
"Third Uncle, I've thought about it seriously! Besides, I don't want to go to university!"
"You idiot!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing not only said it, but also looked at her with the expression of someone looking at an idiot.
Lu Mingxi, the fool, pouted: "What?! How am I stupid?"
"Pshaw, if people tell them, they'll just say you're stupid!"
Lu Mingxi rolled her eyes. "You guys are the idiots!"
"Hehe!" Lu Yuanqing!
Lu Mingxi: "..."
These two words, which are perfectly normal, sound extremely insulting coming from his third uncle's mouth!
Lu Mingxi retorted, "What's so stupid about that? My aunt went to university and was still able to get a job as a factory worker. I went to vocational school and was also assigned a job as a factory worker. I even studied for several years less than her!"
"Sending out of school for several years, saving on tuition fees, and avoiding wasting time—why would I be stupid?"
"Very well, I'm sure of it, you really are stupid!" Lu Yuanqing was utterly incredulous!
This girl, who usually seems clever and resourceful, is actually so naive—it's unbelievable!
"Uncle Three..."
Lu Mingxi was furious!
"I didn't say anything wrong!" Lu Yuanqing snorted.
Seeing that she tilted her head and looked like she didn't acknowledge it, Lu Yuanqing continued, "Okay, what you said is all correct."
"But aren't you oversimplifying things?"
Seeing that he was speaking properly, Lu Mingxi turned her head again and asked, "Did I think it was simple?"
"Hmm!" Lu Yuanqing nodded and laughed, "You said it yourself, whether you graduate from a vocational school or a university, you can become a worker and get a government-subsidized food ration. But have you ever thought about it? Among the workers, some sit in offices, while others have to work hard in the workshop!"
Seeing Lu Mingxi deep in thought, Lu Yuanqing continued, "Didn't you notice this problem when I took you to Jiang'an City?"
"I remember when we went to the transport team to find the truck, it was your fourth uncle who took you there, right?"
“Yes!” Lu Mingxi nodded, but had no idea what he was going to say.
Lu Yuanqing: "So, who did you negotiate the contract with?"
"The leader of the transport team!"
"Very well, so he was sitting in his office talking to you about business, right?"
Lu Mingxi had subconsciously wanted to say something pointless.
But seeing Uncle San's expression, I knew I'd be called an idiot if I said it.
She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and nodded.
Lu Yuanqing laughed: "That's right! Look, they're all workers, but some have to work hard driving outside, while others become leaders, sitting in offices, drinking tea, and chatting about business. Haven't you noticed anything wrong with that?"
Lu Mingxi suddenly realized, "Office workers have it easy and earn high salaries, while drivers are tired and don't even earn as much as their bosses!"
"The leader is educated, while Brother Zhang, who was driving, only graduated from junior high school!"
Lu Yuanqing smiled!
"Then... should Xiaxia and I still take the high school entrance exam?"
What?!
Lu Yuanqing's eyes widened: "..."
Oops!
There won't be a college entrance exam for her anymore!
High school graduates won't be assigned jobs back then; they'll be worse off than vocational school graduates!
"Um, you can take the test first..."
Tsk t ...
That foul mouth of his!
Seeing that Lu Mingxi was about to run out to find Cheng Xia to discuss his plans to change his college application, Lu Yuanqing hurriedly pulled him back.
After much persuasion, she finally agreed to not change her application for the time being, without any doubt!
After Lu Yuanhuan left, Lu Yuanqing collapsed onto the recliner!
Asking for trouble, that's asking for trouble!
……
Not long after Lu Mingdong finished his junior high school entrance exam, Lu Yuanhuan's admission notice was delivered to Shihua Village!
On this day, the sun blazed down on the earth, and the village women sat under a huge yellow pepper tree at the village entrance, chatting and enjoying the cool air.
Just then, the postman rode his bicycle, his feet pedaling as if he were riding on wheels of fire, speeding along the bumpy road and giving him the illusion that it was flat ground.
The women could see this scene from afar.
"Is this the postman from the commune post office?"
"Of course it is! You're still wearing your work clothes!"
"Why would a postman come to the countryside? Normally, you have to go to the commune to pick up and mail your own mail!"
"yes!!!"
Soon, the postman rode closer and closer on his bicycle. When he reached the village entrance, he put his foot down, steadied his bicycle, and asked the curious elderly women, "Excuse me, is Lu Yuanhuan from this village?"
"Yes! They're looking for my Yuan Huan?"
Zhang Panlan stood up, took a few steps, and asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, the postman immediately smiled. "Are you Lu Yuanhuan's parents?"
"Congratulations! I'm here to deliver Lu Yuanhuan's university acceptance letter!"
Postmen don't go to rural areas, but for important matters like university admission notices, they still have to go!
This morning, as soon as I got to the post office, I saw Lu Yuanhuan's university admission notice.
As the first university admission letter from their commune this year, this is a very happy event.
Then, the post office leaders specially sent someone to deliver it directly to the countryside and personally handed it to Lu Yuanhuan.
Sure enough, the postman received this task and sped over on his bicycle.
"What? A university acceptance letter?"
The group of old women who had been bragging at the village entrance immediately erupted in anger!
Zhang Panlan, in particular, was so excited she was practically dancing with joy.
"Are you sure it's Yuan Huan's? She got into university? She'll be a university student now?"
Zhang Panlan, not having time to boast to anyone, hurriedly took the postman to the Lu family's house.
The remaining older women: "..."
"Did you hear that? The Lu family's daughter, who's in high school, got into university!"
"We heard you, we're not deaf!"
"A university! It really is a university. The Lu family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"
"Yuan Qing insisted on sending his family's children to school. I used to say he was just wasting money, but I never expected that he would actually send one of his children to university!"
"Yuan Qing is going to be very lucky from now on!"
"Let's forget about that for now, let's hurry over to the Lu family and see what's going on!"
"..."
Leaving aside the other villagers, seeing them all heading in the same direction, I curiously went up to ask them a few questions. After learning the reason, I joined the group.
The Lu family at this time.
Zhang Panlan didn't even wait for the postman to stop before she stepped off her bicycle and headed straight for the Lu family's house. Ignoring everything else, she ran while shouting, "Yuan Qing, Yuan Huan, come out quickly!"
Lu Yuanqing was lying on a recliner in the main room to cool off. It was too hot, and the mat on the bed in the room was burning hot. He preferred to sit at the door and enjoy the breeze that blew in from time to time.
I drifted off to sleep and then heard my aunt calling me.
Before I could even muster any morning grumpiness, I was startled and sat bolt upright in the recliner.
Lu Yuanqing strode out the door, "What happened..."
Lu Yuanqing didn't even have time to utter a word of concern before he saw what the postman was holding up behind Zhang Panlan.
Notification!
Lu Yuanqing's face lit up with joy. "Is it a notice? Is it Xiao Huan's notice?"
"Yes!" Zhang Panlan excitedly snatched the admission notice from the postman's hand and placed it in Lu Yuanqing's hand. "Look, it's Xiao Huan's university admission notice! Our Xiao Huan got into university!"
Zhang Panlan's voice was filled with excitement and joy.
Aside from a silly grin, she had no other expression.
Postman: "..."
No! How could they move so fast?
It must be signed for directly by the recipient!
As soon as Lu Yuanqing received the notification letter, Zhang Panlan urged him, "Quick, open it and take a look!!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqing, who knew his aunt very well, immediately grabbed the notice and said with a reassuring smile, "Aunt, this is Xiaohuan's notice. We'll wait for her to open it herself!"
The mail carrier: "..." Tsk, look at their reaction. Luckily, they don't know their rules.
If the boss found out that the emails he was in charge of had been "snatched" by an old lady, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"That's right, it's best to leave something this important to Lu Yuanhuan herself," the postman said. "So, where is Lu Yuanhuan? I need her signature to sign for this!"
The post office doesn't have this rule; even for regular mail, as long as you provide the information, they'll help you pick it up.
Especially for things like village mail, everyone in the village can help collect all the mail for the entire village.
It's not as strictly regulated now.
As I said before, only a handful of people from the commune get into university each year.
Lu Yuanhuan is the first one this year.
It just so happened that the boss saw it, which is why it became a little special!
As they spoke, the villagers who had heard the news gathered at the Lu family's house.
Lu Yuanhuan and the others also came out!
