Not to mention Qin Xuejuan, after receiving the call, he heard the excitement of Old Yaoshu's words here, and it took a while to react.

After hanging up the phone, she called her husband and said that she would ride a bicycle to the county government compound to go home with him later.

When Xu Jianjun received the news that his daughter was admitted to the Imperial University, the corners of his mouth were almost reaching the roots of his ears, and he got up and ran to the finance department and the leaders asked for leave.

"Director, I have to take two days off."

"Seeing you are so happy, what happy event happened?" The director looked at Xu Jianjun and was also infected by his smile.

"My daughter is admitted to college, Imperial Capital University." Xu Jianjun couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and said proudly to the director, "If you are busy, it doesn't take two days. One day or half a day will do."

"Really?" When the director heard this, he stood up from his chair, "Jianjun, what you said is true?"

"My daughter-in-law called me just now and said that it was Imperial Capital University. It must be right." Xu Jianjun felt beautiful in his heart, wishing to fly back with his wings now.

"You go back quickly. You must go back and see this kind of great joyous event. Hurry and go. I'll be anxious if you don't leave." The director hurriedly waved to Xu Jianjun. His daughter was admitted to the University of God. This is not just a matter for the Xu family. , Or the great event of their county, city, or even the whole province, "Don't be daunting here, you have to let me drive you away?"

"Hey, the director, I'm leaving first, and you all have to come when the wedding reception is set up at home."

"Of course you want to go. If you don't let me go, I have to brazenly ask for a wedding."

Xu Jianjun waited for a few minutes at the gate of the county government with his bicycle, and saw his wife. Then they got on the bicycle and went home.

"Juan'er, how fast do we take the car?" Xu Jianjun asked while humming a song on the road.

Qin Xuejuan’s long hair was blown by the wind, and at this time, because of the joy from the heart, her originally charming facial features became more gorgeous, "Don’t you find that you have endless strength in your body now? Riding a bicycle can release it. Now, let’s say there are more than ten minutes for the bus to arrive. I can’t wait."

"That's OK, let's kick back."

It really needs to be released, even if it is going uphill, it feels very easy.

Not long after Xu Jianjun left, Xu Ning's affairs spread throughout the county.

When the county leader heard that there was a national champion in science in his county, this was a big blow to himself, and even his political achievements became better. This shows that his education is good.

I called the Finance Department and learned that Xu Jianjun had taken leave to go home. The county magistrate didn’t feel any displeasure. He wondered if Xu Ning should be given some rewards, such as giving her a sum of money on behalf of the county, even though he knew Xu Jianjun. His wife runs a cannery in the county. There is no shortage of money at home, but this is also a little bit of the county's heart, which is more or less a meaning and encouragement.

At this time, the Xu family was so lively and outrageous. After Xu Shuangquan heard the news, he came to the Xu family with great compliments.

Imperial Capital University, dear, it is the top university in China. There are millions of candidates in the country every year. It is really one in a million to get admitted. And one of them appeared in their Xiangshan Village, or in his promise. When Shuangquan was the village chief, he almost went crazy.

"Aunt Fifth, do you want to open a table? The village branch will also give you half of the money. When Ningning is about to leave, the village will also give Ningning a little money. Our village is not rich. I hope you can understand."

"Is it rich or not? I don't know yet?" Yu Chunhua happily pressed Xu Shuangquan, "Give me any money, my family is okay now, there is no need to give money, in a few days, the house will run a water table, when you say on the radio, Let everyone in the village come."

"This relationship is good, but the village still has to give Ningning a bonus. Don't refuse. Anyway, Ningning also grew up in Xiangshan Village. It's more or less what the whole village likes."

"Okay, you can figure it out, but don't give too much, you know my aunt is not short of this money."

"Understood, you will tell me in advance when the banquet opens, and I will arrange for someone to come and help you." Xu Shuangquan said happily.

"Then I will trouble you. When the time comes, everyone in our village will come and set up a banquet in the courtyard of the village branch. If there are fewer people to help, it is really busy." Yu Chunhua did not refuse Xu Shuangquan's kindness. "Wait. When you go back, stop by Shuanzi's house and talk to him. I will order two pigs with him so that he can prepare first."

"okay."

Xu Jianjun and his wife had been kicking for almost three quarters of an hour before rushing back from the county. As soon as they entered the door, they had to read Xu Ning's admission notice.

The couple looked happily at the seal of the Imperial Capital University above, and this heart was let go. Before, they thought that Uncle Yao had made a mistake or he had heard it wrong.

The whole village was boiling over that day, just because Xu Shuangquan announced the good news on the village loudspeaker after he returned.

"Villagers, now everyone is listening to the radio. We have a happy event in Xiangshan Village. Jianjun’s daughter Ningning, Jianjun daughter Ningning, and again, Jianjun daughter Ningning was admitted to college, and she still Located in the capital of our country, the Imperial University is the most advanced and top university in our country. This is not only a happy event for the fifth aunt’s family, but also a happy event for the entire Xiangshan Village. At that time, women who are willing to help with cooking and delicious food come to me to scream, and then I will decide which day to open the table, or the past people will help, and don’t greet relatives who can’t beat the bar just because it’s a running water table. Take advantage of it, let’s be a happy event, don’t provoke others. After the broadcast, I didn’t hear the last sentence, but it’s such a rationale. Let’s not let the happy event be blocked by some people, like that. I don’t count, the broadcast is over."

Xu Shuangquan's voice was very loud, and Xiangshan Village itself was not so loud, the whole village heard it.

However, no one was angry at the last words of the village chief, but found it very interesting. Many people laughed at home and bent over when they heard it.

It’s the pride of the whole village in Xiangshan Village to be able to walk out of a college student from the village. In the future, even if they are relatives, their waists will be straighter. Maybe it will be easier for their son to marry a wife in the future. After all, he can walk out of the college’s village. , Must be outstanding, can it be worse?

Even our son will be able to pick up girls in the future, but not everyone can marry in casually.

If at this time every family brings some relatives over to eat, there are more than six hundred to seven hundred people in these more than one hundred households. This family invites several maidens, which family invites several cousins, and each family brings two or three. A lot of money, don't let your blessings come by then, and in the end you will make the whole village look down upon.

"Brother Shuangquan is really funny." Xu Jianjun was happily at home, "but this is really good, no wonder the village chief has been able to do so for so many years."

"Shuangquan has some abilities, otherwise he won't be able to vote unanimously in the election of the village chief every year." Uncle Old Yao squinted his eyes and drank tea with Xu Jianjun, happily not seeing his teeth.

Xu Jianjun looked at his mother and asked with a smile: "Mom, when do you say we go to the imperial capital?"

"Wait a few days to finish the running water table. Let's clean up and leave. I killed all our chickens. That's not enough. When you go to the market and buy more chickens the day after tomorrow, we don't have enough eggs. Don’t buy it if you have it. The village supply and marketing cooperatives in the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar will sometimes check out together after eating. I ask Chuanzi to give us two whole pigs. After all, I have lived in the village for so many years, so it’s the same thing that I don’t take care of."

"I see."

"And Taozi's family, please come over too, just thinking of that Erfang daughter-in-law, my brain hurts, Zhen Ge should be that girl." Yu Chunhua wrinkled her forehead.

Although it has been several years, I feel annoyed when I think about it.

"I'll call there when the water table is set."

"Also, I looked at Taozi’s daughter-in-law very well. When I leave, leave some money for Niuniu sisters and brothers. More or less it is my grandmother and your uncle’s kindness, saving you money. Your second sister is carrying her heart down below."

"I'll take care of this, mom, don't worry about it." Xu Jianjun couldn't help but smile: "You go to the imperial capital, I still have to stay at home. If I take care of Niuniu and them, don't worry."

"..." Yu Chunhua was dumbfounded, and looked at her son and said: "Oh, it's not something, I forgot you, you can't go with us."

Xu Jianjun was at a loss for crying and laughing, "You are really my mother, I just picked it up in the river behind the village, right?"

"What nonsense?" Yu Chunhua glared at her son vigorously. She was so happy that she simply forgot about the fact that her son had to stay in the county to work.

The next day, Xiangshan Village started to become lively, three cars drove in one after another, and the people in the village were almost unhappy and stupid.

The cars stopped behind Xu's house, and the people in the car got out of the car and went straight to Xu's house.

Xu Jianjun has not gone to work in the unit for several years, otherwise there will be old women and children in the family, and it is really not very good to entertain.

In this way, the Xu family saw more than a dozen people pouring in, and the room was very crowded. Xu Jianjun at least invited them to come to the Jiang's house next door to talk.

Today, the county and city leaders came over. They all talked to Xu Ning for a while before they talked about Xu Ning's affairs with Xu Jianjun and his wife.

In the kitchen in the cubicle, Han Sui looked at his proud protégé, his eyes moistened again.

"Teacher Han, do you know about Zhang Meng's situation?" Xu Ning hasn't heard from Zhang Meng. After all, her notice arrived yesterday afternoon. There are few calls now, and it is very troublesome for people to find them.

Speaking of Zhang Meng, Teacher Han was also very happy, "Zhang Meng is also amazing. She was admitted to Mingji University. Her college entrance examination score was 603, which was only five points higher than the admission score of Mingji University. Our school was admitted this year. There are only 13 universities. You and Zhang Meng are the best. Three of them are recommended to Jiangcheng University. The other eight students are not as good as you two. They are all very ordinary universities. Most of the rest went to I have studied in vocational colleges, and some are ready to repeat."

Hearing that Zhang Meng had entered Mingji University as he wished, Xu Ning was really happy for her.

"After reading you today, I have to go to Zhang Meng and other classmates' homes. This time the county and city leaders came here because of Dao Xi on the one hand, and on the other hand there are rewards from the government. At least with this money, the university does not need I'm worried about eating and drinking. Xu Ning, you have to study hard after you go to university, have you figured out which major you want to choose?"

"I made the decision a few years ago, and I am going to choose the medical department of Emperor University."

"Well, I can teach you such an outstanding student in this life, and it would not be a waste of me to be a teacher for 30 years." Teacher Han said, eyes moistened again.

Xu Ning felt funny in her heart. It turned out that Teacher Han, who seemed to be smiling all day, would cry when he was happy. I really didn't expect it.

The leaders did not stay here for too long. After all, there are still more than a dozen classmates who have to go to the house afterwards. When they left, they left the bonus for Xu Ning.

After the family sent away the county and city leaders, Xu Jianjun came back and handed the money to Xu Ning, "Give it to you."

Xu Ning didn't refuse, and took it straight away. There were two hundred yuan rewarded by the county and 600 yuan rewarded by the city, totaling 800 yuan, which can definitely be said to be a huge sum of money.

Of course there should be a lot of Zhang Meng there, and there are not too many other students. The money is enough to rebuild a bright and spacious house at home.

Zhang Meng was worried about the cost of university before, but now it’s not expensive to go to university. Ting Zheng told me that the university only started to collect tuition in 1989. At that time, the tuition was 200 yuan, but Xu Ning this year and the next You don’t need to pay tuition for this year, and you won’t have this benefit in the next year.

Because the Xu family wanted to set up a running water table in the village, Xu Jianjun and the county leaders took a few more days of vacation. The county leaders did not even hesitate in front of the city leaders. They nodded and agreed. If they don’t, the city leaders may be afraid. I must have opinions in my heart.

There is such a great student in our city, it should have been advertised, and it is not lazy anymore. It is excusable to give a few days off.

Grateful for this day, Old Uncle Yao and Xu Jianjun went out of the house early in the morning, carrying a basket, carrying a bag, and today we are going to the store to buy chickens and ducks, each of which is less than 20, otherwise there will be not enough food. .

After frantically sweeping the market, the father and son hummed back. At this time, there were already five or six women in the house waiting.

"Hurry up, kill the chickens and the ducks." Seeing the two of them came back, the yard suddenly became lively, and the chickens and ducks screamed mournfully, but no one felt pitiful.

Today, the people who came to help were all the aunts and sisters in the village who were famous for their diligence and good cooking, and they couldn't be bothered by this.

Xu’s family’s pot stove is not enough, and the pot stove next door is also used. Now all preparations are being done. Later, there will be croquettes, braised pork head meat, grinded tofu, etc. The running water table will be put on the day after tomorrow. If you can’t finish your meal, the villagers will take it back.

"Ningning, meat is coming." Xu Ning was frying vegetable **** next door at this time. Uncle Shuan came in outside and brought in a large bucket of chopped minced pork. It's tiring to make this happy."

"Uncle Shuanzi, eat rice on the running water table. I will make Sixi meatballs with minced meat. Thank you."

"You're polite, I can also try to try it later. The Sixi **** are all meat, you are really willing."

"My grandma confessed." Xu Ning smiled.

A group of people was busy working from day to night, and then continued to come over the next day to prepare in full swing, and finally it was almost ready at dusk.

And in the courtyard of the village branch, three big iron pots have long been set up to prepare for the running water table tomorrow.

That night, everyone in Xiangshan Village fell asleep with a smile of satisfaction and expectation, especially the children, knowing that tomorrow there will be delicious food in the village branch, and they can still eat until they are full. Then, I asked my parents again and again if I lied to them.

Early the next morning, Xu Shuangquan greeted the men from several villages to come to Xu's family to help move things to the compound of the village branch. The chicken, duck, fish and various fresh vegetables that had been packed in advance were carried in baskets.

Everyone in the village knew that it was lunch at noon, but they couldn’t hold back when they saw this scene. They all came over to take a look. Those who could help were not idle. They rolled up their sleeves and helped to wash the vegetables and choose them. This is too simple for a housewife who is used to going around the pot.

The bowls and chopsticks come from where the villagers come from. You only need to paste a note on the bottom of the bowl and the plate with the paste in advance, and make a mark. Generally, it will not fall off after washing once.

At 10:30 in the morning, when the school teachers and colleagues from Xu Jianjun's unit came over, with a stab, the smell of oil suddenly rose into the sky, and the whole village became noisy.

"Ningning, let me help you." Cui Ping came with Liu's family, perhaps because she was doing well with Niuniu, and Cui Ping, who hadn't seen her for a few days, looked ruddy now.

Niuniu also led Xiaobao to stand not far away, "Sister, my aunt cooks very delicious food."

When Xu Ning saw the brothers and sisters, he smiled and said to Cui Ping: "Auntie Cui, you are the guests today, and you will be serving food later. Take Niuniu and them to sit with my grandma at a table. Don't be so restrained. ."

Cui Ping smiled and nodded, then greeted Niuniu and Xiaobao to enter the house and go to find Yu Chunhua.

Although it is the running water table today, but because of the command of the village chief, the scene will not be chaotic, although there are children laughing and joking, but it does not matter, just don't bump into it.

The area of ​​the village branch is also limited. It is obviously impossible to put six or seven hundred people to eat at once, so there are 16 tables, the first ten are for men to eat and drink, and the other six are for the women and children in the village. If you don't drink, you will switch to the next wave of meals.

When dishes were served, the whole village branch became boiling. The Xu family was very sincere at the running water table. There was a lot of meat and the taste of the dishes was also very good. The carp and the fried rice **** with yellow and orange oranges and the Sixi **** with the size of a man's fist were all greasy and sweaty.
