Chapter 40: The beating of gongs and drums

When the tractor arrived at Niujiao Village, it was already noon.

The child ran around the big banyan tree at the head of the village.

Grandma Liu sat next to the pork stall and chatted with a few grandmothers next to her.

When I looked up, I saw Xia Youzhi leading a group of people with elegant temperament.

"Xia girl, what's wrong?" Grandma Liu wondered.

"Grandma Liu, this is the teachers of my eldest brother's school, I came to my house to report the good news, my brother has been admitted to university." Xia Youzhi explained with a smile.

Teacher Yan on the side was a little dissatisfied with Xia Youzhi's "modesty".

"Hello, grandma. We are teachers at County No. 1 Middle School, and this is the principal of our County No. 1 Middle School. Teacher Yan smiled and introduced, "We are here to report the good news, Xia Qingbo was admitted to Kyoto University. ”

"Kyoto University?" Grandma Liu was surprised, "That's the best university in our country." ”

Grandma Liu still has some knowledge.

She didn't know about other schools, but Kyoto University, that was a household name.

"Xia girl, hurry up, take the teacher to the house, go quickly." Grandma Liu said excitedly, "You have to entertain a good teacher." ”

Xia Youzhi smiled and nodded.

Grandma Liu was even more excited than her.

When the army walked away, Grandma Liu was reluctant to look away.

"Qingbo boy, have you really been admitted to the best university in the country?" The old man on the side asked.

"The teachers are here, but it's not true." Another old man replied.

"Oh, old ladies, you help me look at the stall, I'm going to the captain's house."

After that, Grandma Liu got up and left.

"You say, why is she in such a hurry, saying that the wind is the rain." The old man laughed.

"I guess I'm going to report the good news, this is really a great joy."

"Yes, she has always been more interested in Xia Laosan's family."

“……”

Grandma Liu ran to the captain's house, while Xia Youzhi led the teachers home.

Most of the teachers are from the countryside and are very familiar with this kind of country road.

A group of more than a dozen people, mighty and fast.

The villagers passing by all looked at it curiously.

Some also stopped to say hello, curious as to what was going on.

The capital of summer and young people informed them one by one.

Before Xia Youzhi could get home, Niujiao Village was already boiling.

Xia Laosan's eldest son was admitted to Kyoto University!

Only Xia Mu and Ma Jinglan, who were still busy at home, didn't know.

"Mom."

Xia Youzhi pushed the door into the courtyard.

"Hey, why are you so late today?"

Xia Mu walked out of the kitchen as she spoke.

When she saw a group of people dressed simply but clean and elegant, Xia Mu was very surprised.

"Well, what is this?"

Before Xia Youzhi could explain, the principal had already stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Hello, I am Liu Qianchang, the principal of Anming County No. 1 Middle School, you must be Xia Qingbo's mother, right?" The headmaster held out his hands excitedly.

"Yes, yes, I'm Xia Qingbo's mother." Xia Mu panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and shook hands with Principal Liu, "Hello, Principal Liu." ”

"Your child, Xia Qingbo, was admitted to Kyoto University through hard work. This is the pride of all of us, and I have taken the liberty to come here today with my teacher just to give you good news. ”

The smile on the headmaster's face was overflowing.

As he spoke, he took out the admission notice from his old briefcase and handed it to Xia's mother.

Xia Mu took it excitedly and looked back and forth.

"Mom, please invite the principal and teachers into the room first." Xia Youzhi reminded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, principal, teachers, it's rude for you to come in and sit down." Xia Mu hurriedly said.

Then he turned his head to look at Ma Jinglan, who was stunned on the side, "Jinglan, hurry up and move the stool out for the teacher to sit on." ”

"Oh, okay, third aunt."

Ma Jinglan hurriedly ran into the house to move the stool.

A dozen or so teachers sat in the courtyard, talking and laughing.

The whole yard was cleaned up by Xia's mother, and there were flowers planted by Xia Youzhi before Xia Youzhi on the east side.

The teachers found the house to be simple, but very comfortable.

"So, you accompany the principal and the teacher to chat, and Mom goes to prepare lunch." Xia Mu said a little crampedly.

Although Zhizhi's grandmother is a teacher, she herself is not highly educated.

has been living in the countryside, and her words and deeds are more decent than ordinary countrymen, so if she really wants her to chat with the teacher, she is really worried.

"Okay, Mom, you go get busy." Xia Youdao.

She knew her mother, chatting with the teacher, she estimated that she would be panicked.

Why don't you let her prepare the teacher's lunch?

"Don't be surprised, Headmaster." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

The principal waved his hand in understanding.

"Youzhi, in a few days, the TV station will come to interview, and when the time is set, I will call your town office again and tell you, but I may have to let Qingbo come back." Teacher Yan said with a smile.

Her name for Xia Youzhi has changed from classmate Xia to Youzhi.

"Okay, Mr. Yan. I'm going to get my brother back in the next two days. Xia Youzhi answered.

Teacher Yan smiled and nodded.

That's exactly what she meant.

"When I first entered the house, I smelled a very strong and enticing smell, as if it was wafting out of the kitchen." Teacher Yan asked curiously.

It may not be appropriate to ask this, but it does make people curious.

"yes, I smell it too, I don't know what it is?" The teacher on the side was also curious.

Xia Youzhi smiled, "That's our family's ancestral secret recipe made of braised pork, when you eat lunch for a while, the teacher can eat more." ”

Fortunately, she is now making two or three days, otherwise there is really nothing to entertain.

Regarding Xia Youzhi's "eat more", the teachers just smiled.

Now the meat is expensive, just taste this meat.

Xia Qingbo's family is in difficulty, and they came this time with a little bit of the school's teacher's heart.

I didn't plan to eat, but I couldn't help it, so I could only stay.

"Youzhi, we all followed the scholarship matter, it is estimated that it has been a few days, and the principal personally called yesterday to urge." Teacher Yan said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi looked at the principal and the teachers, got up, and bowed deeply.

"Hey, what are you doing, you kid?"

Teacher Yan hurriedly got up and grabbed Xia Youzhi.

For Xia Youzhi's bow, the principal and teachers were very moved.

This child knows how to be grateful.

"And this, you take it. This is a little bit of our teacher's heart. Teacher Yan took out an envelope from his bag.

As early as when the city called the county middle school, Teacher Yan and the others spontaneously raised money.

The teachers of the county No. 1 middle school all wanted to contribute to Xia Qingbo.

Especially when I heard that Xia Qingbo wanted to give up Kyoto University for the sake of his family, he was both anxious and moved.

"Teacher, we can't take this, my eldest brother's college expenses, with the city's scholarship, is enough. And now the family is also doing business, and the money is much easier. Xia Youzhi refused.

"Kid, give it to you and you'll take it." Teacher Yan said gently.

It's only been more than a month, and Mr. Yan doesn't believe that the Xia family can save so much money so quickly.

Even if you do any business, you can't save enough money so quickly.

"Teacher Yan, we ......" Xia Youzhi still wanted to refuse.

"Take it, young one. This is the intention of our teachers, especially Teacher Yan, she donated the most money here, and she also raised it one by one, which our teachers were willing to give. The teacher sitting next to him explained.

Xia Youzhi was very moved.

The family's money has indeed been invested in braised pork, and there is no money on him now.

It's just that she can get it back later.

If she took the teacher's money, she really had a troubled conscience.

"It's only two hundred yuan in it, if you feel uncomfortable holding it, you will return it to us when you work and make money in the future."

Teacher Yan saw the hesitation in Xia Youzhi's eyes and said with a smile.

"Okay, when I make money in the future, I will definitely build a better middle school."

Xia Youzhi's serious promise.

Returning the money directly to the teacher would break the teacher's heart, but she could spend the money on building the school.

After listening to Xia Youzhi's words, the teachers all smiled.

The smile was more of a relief.

The laughter in the courtyard was suddenly interrupted by the sound of crackling firecrackers.

This was followed by the festive beating of gongs and drums in the countryside.

Everyone frowned, not knowing what was happening.

I saw the old village chief walking in like a fly, followed by a team of gongs and drums.

"Village Chief, what are you?" Xia Youzhi asked with a smile.

"Girl, you didn't tell me about your eldest brother's admission to Kyoto University, or your grandmother Liu went to tell me." The old village chief said strangely, turning his head to look at the teacher on the side, "This is the principal and teacher of Qingbo School, right?" ”

After a pleasantry, the person who accompanied him had changed from Xia Youzhi to the village chief and other cadres in the village.

The sound of gongs and drums was still ringing, and the children of the village came to beg for candy.

"Fortunately, when you came back, you bought a few catties of candy, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to send these children away." Xia Mu smiled and made joy candy.

"Yes, just in time. Originally, I thought of buying it to entertain the teacher, and leaving some for Jinglan and Qinglin as snacks, but I didn't expect this to come in handy. Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

"Linlin, this stupid boy, also led people to the house to ask for candy."

Xia Mu couldn't cry or laugh.

However, now that the family has made some purchases and made some transactions, she can also see this little thing.

"Oh yes." Xia Mu hesitated, "I asked Jinglan to report to your aunt's family and ask them to come over for dinner later." ”

After speaking, Xia Mu secretly glanced at Xia Youzhi.

Seeing Xia Youzhi's unhappy expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, you can call if you want, it's okay." Xia Youzhi said indifferently.

But it's just a meal.

And she also understands that her mother also doesn't want people to see jokes on an occasion like today.

Xia Mu nodded, "Kill two chickens, kill them on your second aunt's side, let's fry some vegetarian dishes, set up two tables in the yard, one table in the hall, three tables should be enough." ”

The three tables are a little crowded, but the countryside is not so particular.

The drumming corps was paid for by the village, and they didn't have to worry about the food, they just came for an hour.

"It's okay, Mom, just look at the arrangement." The way of summer young.

Now the big and small things in the family, Xia's mother has asked Xia Youzhi first.

invisibly regarded her as the backbone.

"Mom, I'll go to the city tomorrow and go to my brother." The way of summer young.

"What's wrong?"

"Teacher Yan said that there will be an interview from the TV station in the next few days." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

Xia Mu was stunned.

Own home...... Is this going to be on TV?
