Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

During the following period of time, Wang Xiaohua went every day to tutor Niu Lin Xin and Wang Xiaoqian with their homework.

Originally he had still worried that Niu Lin Xin would pull some trick on him, even once considering whether to quit his job, but later Niu Lin Xin did nothing at all; as long as he let her play and play games on her own and didn't say anything to her, she wouldn't use her petty cleverness to deal with Wang Xiaohua.

Time passed in the blink of an eye and it was July 11.

The admission results came out.

After eating lunch at noon, Wang Xiaohua used Niu Chunsheng's computer to check, and he had been admitted to Tsinghua University.

When he learned this news, his mood was not particularly excited or happy; he even felt somewhat disappointed.

Because everything was just as he had expected, he had been reassigned.

This score absolutely could not get him into Tsinghua's computer science major; in the end he was reassigned to the Chemical Engineering and Technology major at the School of Chemical Engineering.

This is one of the four great pit majors among "biochemistry, environment, materials."

But Niu Chunsheng, upon learning this news, was very happy.

"Xiao Hua, congratulations on becoming the first Tsinghua/Peking University student in our county! This is a great honor in your life!"

Niu Chunsheng's face was full of joy, and the stone in his heart also fell.

If Wang Xiaohua had not been admitted to Tsinghua, then all his previous planning would have gone down the drain.

As long as Wang Xiaohua was admitted to Tsinghua, no matter what major, to Niu Chunsheng it was all the same.

He only needed the influence that Wang Xiaohua getting into Tsinghua/Peking University would bring; as for other things, he didn't need them and didn't care much about them.

The news that Wang Xiaohua had been admitted to Tsinghua quickly spread through the circles of the county town.

The staff member in charge of propaganda at the county government had long since made propaganda preparations.

That day, along both sides of the commercial street in the small county town, banners were hung reading "Warmly congratulating our county's student Wang Xiaohua on being admitted to Tsinghua University."

In the afternoon Wang Xiaohua received a call personally made by Xiao Xueqing.

"Xiao Hua, I am Magistrate Xiao; we ate together before—do you still remember me?"

"I remember, Magistrate Xiao, do you have something?"

Xiao Xueqing said:

"Our county government and an enterprise jointly donated three hundred thousand yuan in scholarships to you; this scholarship was already given into your parents' hands some time ago—do you know this?"

"I know, thank you for your kindness, Magistrate Xiao."

"No need to thank me; this is what you deserve. I should also thank you for bringing glory to our small county town. It's been how many years since the college entrance exam was restored? In the past, our small county town never produced a Tsinghua/Peking University student; you are the first one, and whether more will come in the future is uncertain."

"With a good leader like Magistrate Xiao, I believe our county town's education will get better and better, and there will definitely be students even more outstanding than me in the future."

Hearing Wang Xiaohua say this, Xiao Xueqing couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

Then she laughed:

"Xiao Hua, you've learned how to speak. When I saw you before, you didn't know how to speak well; now your speech has become so refined. Perhaps this is the difference between students like you and ordinary students."

"Thank you for your praise, Magistrate Xiao. Actually I am just an ordinary student. My admission to Tsinghua University is inseparable from your and other leaders' guidance. The seminar before filling out the volunteer application helped me a great deal."

Wang Xiaohua had already accepted reality, so now his heart was very calm, and he could say things Xiao Xueqing liked to hear by catering to her preferences.

"You child, you're really sensible." A smile appeared on Xiao Xueqing's face as she praised him, then said: "Let's not talk idly anymore; let's get down to business. The 300,000 yuan scholarship has already been given to your parents, but the donation ceremony hasn't been held yet. Our side plans to hold the donation ceremony at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Town Government Square. You bring your parents and come together!"

Wang Xiaohua quickly agreed:

"Okay, okay. Tomorrow I will definitely arrive on time with my parents."

"Fine. Then this matter is settled. I have other things to be busy with, so I won't chat anymore. By the way, do you have WeChat? If so, add me on WeChat later; my WeChat is this phone number."

"Okay, Magistrate Xiao."

Wang Xiaohua hung up Xiao Xueqing's phone call, then added Xiao Xueqing as a WeChat friend.

Xiao Xueqing's WeChat avatar was a photo of her at a meeting, and in her Moments there wasn't a trace of personal life—only all kinds of meetings and all kinds of Party and government propaganda content.

But this was normal; as a member of the system, one generally keeps a low profile in life, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Xiaohua finally called his mother.

"Hello, Mom, have you eaten?"

"Eating now. Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten. Is Dad feeling better?"

"Much better than before. The building construction has restarted, and he still wants to go work, but I stopped him. I hired two Big Workers to do it, just afraid that if he works, another accident will happen."

"Mm-hmm, don't be too stingy with money; spend what should be spent."

"You too—spend what should be spent. If there isn't enough money, tell the family. By the way, have the admission results come out?"

"They just came out today. I checked, and I was admitted to Tsinghua University."

"That's good, that's good. Thank the ancestors for their blessings. Xiao Hua, you can be considered to have brought glory to our Wang family!"

Li Xiulan's face was full of joy, and she couldn't wait to turn around and tell Wang Zhanggen, who was watching TV beside her:

"Xiao Hua says he was admitted to Tsinghua!"

A smile also appeared on Wang Zhanggen's face:

"That's wonderful. I want to see who in this Shangou Village still dares to look down on me, Wang Zhanggen!"

Wang Xiaohua said at this time:

"Mom, Magistrate Xiao just called me and said to have you and Dad come to the county town tomorrow. The three of us will go together to attend a donation ceremony."

"Donation ceremony? What donation ceremony?"

"Didn't you and Dad already accept three hundred thousand from them? That money was meant for a donation ceremony. They donated money to us, so they definitely want some publicity."

"Should we take that money out again?"

Li Xiulan was somewhat surprised.

If it needed to be taken out again, that would be troublesome.

Because she had already used part of it to buy construction materials.

"No need, we just go directly to attend that ceremony."

"Good, good, what time do we go tomorrow?"

"The ceremony is held at eleven o'clock tomorrow. You and Dad come down early. When you arrive in County Town, call me and let me know, and I'll pick you and Dad up."

"Okay, okay, then tomorrow morning we'll take the first bus down!"

After Li Xiulan hung up Xiao Hua's phone call, she immediately said to Wang Zhanggen:

"Xiao Hua says we should go to County Town tomorrow to attend some ceremony related to that 30,000 Scholarship. Sleep early tonight, and get up early tomorrow to go to County Town."

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen was very pleased, then asked:

"I suppose there will be many Leaders attending then?"

Li Xiulan said:

"I didn't ask Xiao Hua about that, but there should be many Leaders."

Wang Zhanggen said:

"Then tomorrow we need to wear better clothes. Go look through the cabinet right now and take out all our best clothes! We can't let Xiao Hua lose face!"

Li Xiulan was stunned:

"Go look now?"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly said:

"Of course now, hurry up! If you wait until tomorrow, it'll be too late!"

Li Xiulan quickly stood up:

"Okay, okay, I'll go right now!"
