Alai rubbed his eyes.
He smiled and said, "My grandfather, why don't you just go to the temple and set up a stall to tell fortunes for people? Were you confused by Fangfang's mother yesterday?"
"Hehe..."
Before he finished speaking, the postman came to Grandpa and handed him an envelope.
Grandpa opened it and saw the red and golden admission letter from Nancheng University. Lei Tianlai, you are admitted to our school - Department of Economics and Management - Professional Studies. Please report to the school on time on X/X/XXXX with this letter. A big red seal was stamped on it.
Grandpa couldn't believe it.
The postman said "Congratulations, congratulations", and Grandpa woke up from his dream. He hurried home to take out fruits and handed them to the postman, and brought tea to the postman.
Grandpa went to school.
I think he was with a good colleague, so he went to share it happily.
Grandpa's happiness is Alai's greatest satisfaction. Who can he share it with? Why don't you tell the abbot, Yayoi, and Mi Le quickly? He was so proud that he ran to the temple with a big bag of fruits and osmanthus cake.
Just as he entered the temple gate, he saw Banxian and said happily: "Hey, if you calculate correctly today, I will not only give you good food, but also give you a lot of rewards. You have to say good luck."
"Then why don't you give me the fruit quickly? I'm drooling after tasting it. I haven't had any income for several days and I'm hungry." Banxian stared at Alai's plastic bag.
"If you don't say a few words, you won't be able to eat it at all." Alai said deliberately.
"Hmph, little brat, your happiness is written all over your face. The four great joys in life are 'rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, wedding night, and passing the imperial examination'. It must be you who passed the exam."
Alai laughed happily and quickly took out two red apples and handed them to Banxian.
Banxian picked up one and rubbed it on his robe, then devoured it, saying, "Congratulations, congratulations. When we become rich in the future and meet in crowded places, we will pretend not to know each other, but don't abandon me behind my back."
Alai swore, "I'm really confused. What do you mean? You, Banxian, count with your fingers. Am I this kind of person?"
After that, he handed him 120 yuan and said, "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. This 100 yuan is for buying clothes for you. When you have time, go to the store and see if the size is suitable. Remember to wear new clothes to my house for the wedding banquet. Don't be sloppy. The remaining 20 yuan is for buying food. Don't go hungry."
Banxian took the money without hesitation and said, "Then I will take advantage of the good luck. I will accept it. I will go to your courtyard tomorrow to attend your wedding banquet."
Alai said, "Of course, are you still pretending to be polite with me?" After that, he ran all the way.
When they arrived at the temple, they told Miyo Milo the good news. The two men lifted Alai up and tossed him up and down in the air until he was dizzy. Then they put him down and went to the abbot's meditation room to report.
The abbot put his hands together and said, "Amituofu."
After that, he led Alai to the Sutra Library, a secret annex, and told Miyo Milo to guard outside. He led Alai into the dark room, opened the safe, and came to the Buddha bones of Elder Kong.
Alai placed fruits and his red admission notice on the altar, lit incense, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Looking at the Tibetan characters appearing on the elder's skull, it was as if he had entered a time tunnel again, remembering the elder's kind face.
The abbot put his hands together and said, "Amituofu, Liaokong, you know in the Pure Land, you didn't make a mistake, Alai will definitely fulfill your grand plan and wish."
Alai finished fulfilling his wish and returned to the courtyard.
It is a great achievement for this remote mountainous area to have a famous university student.
The news that Alai was admitted to Nancheng University spread quickly. The neighbors had already started to prepare for a big banquet in the courtyard to celebrate. The villagers were passing the news to each other.
Although Li Xiuqin moved to Biannan City, her household registration was still in Leijia Village. Her old mother still lived next to the courtyard, so of course she was considered a neighbor. Someone had called her to come and help. This was the rule for rural people.
When Li Xiuqin received this call, she didn't believe her ears at all. How could it be possible with his score? Isn't this a fantasy? He humiliated the grandfather and grandson yesterday. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he went? It was a dilemma. Should he go or not?
First, she had to go. Helping was just a social gesture. The rules of the country people could not be broken. When a family had a wedding or funeral, the neighbors had to go to the scene to help in addition to the money. This was well known. Otherwise, it would offend the public. Even if she was not driven out of the village, she would be criticized from then on.
Second, it was said that a large area of forest would soon be divided into households. If she did not manage it and rented it to others, she would get a lot of money for nothing that year. If she did not go back, her future interests in the village would not be guaranteed, and no one would pay attention to her at all.
Third, her old mother was old and could not help. Even if she was asked to socialize, those fierce women in the village would talk behind her back. Then she would not be able to go back at all.
After thinking about it, she speculated that it was nonsense to be admitted to a famous university in Nancheng based on Alai's failure in the college entrance examination.
These grandfather and grandson must be so proud that they are suffering. They went to a fake fake famous university. The country people don't know and spread rumors. I will laugh at them and expose them on the spot. I will touch their nerves so that they will completely stop thinking about Fangfang and be wary of me.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiuqin called her lover and asked him to send a special driver to take her back to the countryside the next day.
The next day.
The courtyard was decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was festive. Every household in the village sent people to help. People from the nearby ten miles and eight villages who were involved with the Lei family came one after another. All the teachers of the Lei family primary school and the relatives and friends of Grandpa Lei gathered in the courtyard to congratulate.
The abbot of Leiyin Temple, under the protection of Yayoi Mi Le, led a group of management leaders of the temple, and congratulated them in a mighty manner.
Leaders from both the village and the township also drove their cars to congratulate.
Leader's speech: Dear monks, lay people, leaders, guests, relatives and friends: Hello everyone! Our Leijia Village, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a great event, that is, a top scorer in the college entrance examination, Lei Tianlai, was admitted to a famous university in Nancheng
This is not only the pride of the old principal Lei Zhengdeng, but also the pride of all the people in our area. On behalf of the government, I will give 2,000 yuan, one, congratulations, two, to help students, three, encouragement, and four, I hope that there will be more such talents in our area...
A mother is honored by her son! A son is honored by his mother.
Fangfang skipped grades and was admitted to a medical university. She has long been a well-known top scorer in the college entrance examination. Now she is studying abroad.
Li Xiuqin feels that her status is superior to others, and she is arrogant. She does not do any dirty and heavy work in the kitchen, and others can't do anything to her.
She was wearing gold and silver, carrying a kettle, as if she was the protagonist, welcoming customers, shuttling among the crowd, looking busy.
At this time, the accountant walked up to Li Xiuqin and reminded her in a low voice: "Have you forgotten the rules of the country people? When the neighbors pay their share of money, the head of the agency is the first to come, and they have all paid a lot, why haven't you paid yet?"
