Chapter 319: Good news
The weather at the end of July was extremely hot, even if night fell, there was still a heat wave, but Li Jiaming's house was cool.
Zhang Xiangfeng, who has money and budgets at home, did not save electricity bills as usual, and in order to make the grandfather and grandmother who came to live comfortably, even the two vertical air conditioners with the faΓ§ade in the living room were turned on.
The county seat is not as good as Chongxiang, there are houses and cement floors everywhere, and it is much hotter than the mountains, but it can't heat up the two old people.
Grandma, who is used to being thrifty, thinks that it is too wasteful, how much electricity will she have to pay for this day? But let her listen to her grandfather's advice to go to live with her son, but she is unwilling, her nephew's notice may come at any time, how can she not stay here? If she didn't want to see Jiaming's admission letter, she would not want to come to live in the county seat.
"Feng Feng, don't turn on so many air conditioners, it's too wasteful. β
"Mom, it's okay, it's too hot. We adults are sitting in the living room, Bajin and Fenggu are not running around, if the heat is broken, it will be more troublesome. β
Li Jiaming, who had just come back from outside, was sweating profusely, put down Xiao Wanwan on his neck, the VCD packaging box and disc bag in his hand, and comforted: "Grandma, it's okay." This year's weather is too evil, it's more than 40 degrees outside, or you can't turn on the air conditioner, you will get heat stroke when you sit in the house!"
Talking to her goddaughter is negotiable, and talking to her nephew and grandson, grandma is used to supporting her, even if this kid is the Wenqu star in everyone's mouth.
"That's too much, you go turn off the room and don't sleep now, what are you doing with it?"
"Oh, Wanwan went to close the room. β
"Hey", Wanwan, who was also so hot that her little face was flushed, hurriedly turned off the air conditioner in the bedroom, ran out and sat next to her grandmother, urging her brother to play the "New White Lady" that she had just rented.
This film is good, it is a classic that is loved by all ages, and it has been replayed countless times, and there are still people who like to watch it, such as my grandfather and grandmother. Li Jiaming had just assembled the newly bought VCD, opened the disc bag and put the disc of the first episode in, and before the image came out on the TV, firecrackers suddenly sounded downstairs.
When the firecrackers were set off so late, shouldn't the old man on the other side pass away? As soon as the grandfather heard the sound of firecrackers, he quickly got up from the sofa and went to the balcony to see what was going on.
Li Jiaming also hurriedly turned off the VCD to get firecrackers, and Father-in-law Qian was paralyzed in bed all the time, and he shouldn't have survived such a hot day.
"Grandma, you take Wanwan with them, and I will go over with my grandfather and aunt to help. β
This is a big deal, but you can't let people gossip, the grandmother with inconvenient legs and feet reached out to grab the skiniest Wanwan, and hurriedly said: "Go quickly, Wanwan don't run around!
The funeral is more elaborate than the red happy event, Zhang Xiangfeng just found the incense candles, fire paper, firecrackers and the like used to worship the Bodhisattva, Li Jiaming helped her put it into two large plastic bags, the door was slammed open, and a group of emotional men rushed in.
"Boss, Peking University!"
"Jiaming, it's coming!"
Li Jiaming looked back and saw that it was Wen Ping and Mao Tong, and he was suddenly ecstatic.
It's here! Finally waited! I have worked hard for six years, and I finally waited for something that makes my mother, father, and little sister proud!
Li Jiaming's trembling hand took the EMS express mail, and in the eager eyes of a room, he took out a big red envelope from inside, and then took out the admission notice with Weiming Lake and Boya Tower printed at the bottom from the big red envelope, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.
'Li Jiaming:
The University has decided to admit you to the Faculty of Economics (Department) for major study, and you are requested to report to the University on September 6, 1996 with this notice.
Principal: Wu Shuqing
July 18, 1996
In the sound of firecrackers downstairs, the excited grandmother touched the notice in her hand, and suddenly burst into tears; Grandma's tears also made Li Jiaming no longer hold back tears from his eyes, holding his grandmother's inconvenient legs and feet and sobbing silently.
"Boss?"
Wen Ping, who was puzzled, and a post office guy who came to deliver the notice in advance just wanted to speak, and immediately let Mao Tong cover his mouth, others don't know why Jiaming wants to be admitted to Peking University so much, and he doesn't know as an inseparable cousin?
As long as he is in Huangniping, Jiaming always goes to sweep Aunt Yue's grave alone, and often stays for several hours. That year, Uncle Lin begged Aunt Xiangfeng, and Jiaming sat alone on the mountain for two days!
Seeing his nephew crying on his lap, he remembered his daughter's grandmother, quickly wiped away his tears, touched the skull on his leg, and comforted: "Mingya, don't cry, this is a happy event!
Mao Yan, go set off firecrackers, Feng Feng, call Chuanlin!"
"Oh"
Zhang Xiangfeng, who came back to his senses, hurriedly called and stopped Mao Li, who was about to continue to set off firecrackers.
"Mao Yan, there are fireworks in the firewood room, be careful, don't blow up people!"
"Hey"
Mao Yan didn't want to see his cousin's gaffe, let alone let his classmates see it, so he hurriedly pulled them downstairs together, and Wanwan and the others immediately chased after him.
Watch the fireworks!
The neighbors who were alarmed also thought that the old money man had not survived, and he had already gone out with incense, candles and firecrackers. But when I walked downstairs, I saw that the firecracker crumbs were under the second building, and three or four elated men were holding fireworks out of the firewood shed, followed by two little guys who were dancing, and the neighbors who were fast hurriedly asked: "Mao Yan, what's wrong?"
Excited, Wanwan was triumphant, as if she had been admitted, and screamed: "My brother has been admitted to Bai University!"
"What? Not Peking University?"
"Peking University! Jiaming was admitted, and Xing Yan just came to deliver the notice. β
Good thing, the neighbor who went downstairs first hurriedly ran back with the bag, this is a great joy, incense candles, fire paper is bad luck, can not be burned indiscriminately!
"Lao Zhao, send the incense candles and fire paper back, Jiaming has been admitted to Peking University!"
"Huh, why did you come to deliver the notice this night?"
"It must be Jiaming who has classmates at the post office!"
A few adults shouted and screamed, even if the heat wave was rolling, within two minutes the yard was full of people, and several of them were still holding rice bowls.
A few steady uncles in the yard, seeing that Mao Tong and they were moving out a lot of fireworks, and they were still moving out, hurriedly said: "Mao Tong, don't put them in the yard, go to the roof! The weather is too dry, don't cause a fire!"
It hadn't rained for more than a month, and the county had entered a five-level fire prevention state, and several uncles and uncles who were scattering smoke everywhere hurriedly told them to move to the roof of the building, where there were no flammable debris and no trees.
The elated Li Chuanmeng looked at people everywhere, but he didn't see Li Chuanlin, the main owner, and hurriedly said: "Mao Tong, fine dog, don't be in such a hurry, you have to wait for Chuanlin to come!"
"Hey"
Seeing that the child wanted to follow him upstairs, Li Chuanjian, who was scattering cigarettes, hurriedly stopped: "Wanwan come back, eight catties, you come back too! There are a few of you, just watch in the yard, you are not allowed to go up!"
The two little ones who wanted to follow their brother and uncle upstairs had to run back again, and the few who wanted to go upstairs had to come back, honestly staying with their uncles and fathers-in-law, waiting to see the good-looking fireworks.
"Chuanzong, go and call, call Chuantian, Junyan, and the big dog and they all come over! There is also Chengwan, my nephew was admitted to Peking University, and he can't be his maternal uncle?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I have to call back to my sister-in-law and tell them to prepare three animals, and we will go back at night to report the good news to our ancestors and Bodhisattvas. β
Open an ancestral hall at night to announce the good news? Is there such a rule?
Li Chuanzong, who was overjoyed, didn't think much about it, and ran back to call in a hurry.
