Director Wang glanced at a few people, and his face softened slightly.

He took out two big red envelopes from his briefcase and said to Ye Lingtian very solemnly: "Classmate Ye Lingtian, you are the champion of liberal arts in this year's national college entrance examination, and you are also the first champion of the college entrance examination in Guixing County since the founding of the People's Republic of China! After learning the news, Secretary Cheng of the county party committee made a decision as soon as possible to take out 20,000 yuan from his secretary's fund as a reward for you, and at the same time, our Education Bureau also decided to reward you with 10,000 yuan. That's why we're here today. ”

"This ......" Ye Lingtian was instantly stunned by this good news, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

I didn't expect this college entrance examination champion to get a bonus, and there will be so many.

20,000 from the county party committee, plus 10,000 from the Education Bureau, that's 30,000. 30,000 yuan is enough for the tuition fee to go to Yenching University, as long as you pay the tuition fee for the first year, you can find a part-time job while going to school, and with your own ability, you will definitely be able to earn the tuition fee for the next three years.

If you are lucky enough to find a good part-time job, you can also send some money to your family to reduce the burden on your mother.

Thinking of this, the flame of hope that had been extinguished in Ye Lingtian's heart was rekindled again, and the eyes that looked at Director Wang were also full of gratitude.

As if knowing what Ye Lingtian was going to say, Director Wang waved his hand and interrupted him.

After taking a sip of tea, Director Wang took out two more red envelopes and handed them to Ye Lingtian: "This is a little congratulations from Secretary Cheng of the county party committee and me to you, the top student in the college entrance examination." Secretary Cheng was supposed to come to congratulate you in person, but there was something urgent in the county, so I had to entrust me to congratulate you on his behalf. We didn't care enough about you before, and we hope you don't blame you. ”

"No, Director Wang, you and Secretary Cheng have already cared enough about me, and have given so many bonuses, how can I still ask for your red envelopes. Ye Lingtian hurriedly got up and excused himself.

Yang Sulan also stood up and said gratefully: "Director Wang, we have received your wishes, thank you, and thank Secretary Cheng for us! Those bonuses are enough, and we can find a way to pay for the tuition fees in the future, and we can't let you break the bank again." ”

Seeing Ye Lingtian's resignation, Director Wang's face became stern, and he forced the red envelope into Ye Lingtian's pocket, and said, "Classmate Ye Lingtian, a hundred-year plan, education-oriented. You are the champion of this year's national college entrance examination, the pride of the people of our Guixing County, and the example of learning for the students in the county. As an educator, I'm so happy for you and proud that we've produced talent like you!"

After speaking, he took out two business cards and handed them to Ye Lingtian: "You can go to school in Yanjing with peace of mind, if you encounter any difficulties, you can call Secretary Cheng and me according to the number on the business card, Secretary Cheng said, as long as we can within our ability, we will do our best to help you solve it." ”

Ye Lingtian saw that Director Wang said so sincerely, and that Dean Gao, Teacher Yang and others were also persuaded one after another, and felt that it would be too hypocritical to continue to resign, so he had to accept the red envelope and business card, and said to Director Wang with a serious face: "Thank you, Secretary Cheng, thank you Director Wang!" I will definitely keep in mind the kindness of Secretary Cheng and Director Wang, and if there are achievements in the future, I will definitely repay them." ”

When Director Wang saw Ye Lingtian accept the red envelope, he nodded with satisfaction, and his face softened: "The situation at your family, I will report to Secretary Cheng after I go back, and I won't let you have any worries." ”

After speaking, he got up and said goodbye, and he wanted to do his best to report the qiē he saw today to Secretary Cheng.

"Thank you, thank you leaders, thank you teachers!" Yang Sulan pulled Ye Lingtian and bowed to Director Wang and the others with a grateful face, and sent everyone out of the hospital.

After seeing off Director Wang and his entourage, Ye Lingtian suddenly felt that he understood a lot, as the only man in the family, he not only had to win honor for his mother, but more importantly, he must not be looked down upon by others!

The news that Ye Lingtian was admitted to Yenching University, became the top student in the national college entrance examination, and won the award from the county party committee and the Education Bureau spread all over Mitsui Village in less than half a morning, and the entire mountain village was boiling for a while.

Although the current champion of the college entrance examination is just a title, and has long lost the meaning of the champion in ancient times, the villagers who came to congratulate were still excited, with sincere congratulations on their faces, and their eyes looking at Ye Lingtian were also full of admiration and envy. ,

Although the villagers have lived in the mountains for generations, with the reform and opening up in recent years, the communication between Mitsui Village and the outside world has gradually become closer, every household has watched TV, and most of them have installed telephones and used mobile phones. Ye Lingtian can be admitted to Yenching University, and his future is naturally limitless.

As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi. Don't look at Ye Lingtian's poor family now, who can predict what will happen in the future? How many emperors and generals in history were born in poverty, and Zhu Yuanzhang even asked Huazi to have dinner back then!

After the old man heard the good news, a trace of excitement appeared on Gujing Bubo's face on weekdays, and he said again and again: "Champion, champion!

However, compared with the sincere and enthusiastic congratulations of the villagers in Mitsui Village, Yang Sulan's two elder brothers, Yang Baocheng and Yang Baolin, reacted extremely coldly to the good news that Ye Lingtian became the top student in the national college entrance examination and was admitted to Yenching University.

Yang Baocheng and Yang Baolin are self-reliant cadres in the county, and they have always looked down on their two younger sisters who married into the countryside, and they have long forgotten that they themselves are also from the countryside.

In the past, when Ye Liancheng was there, everyone could still act on the scene and live in harmony, but since Ye Liancheng died in vain and owed a huge debt, he began to obviously snub Yang Sulan and his wife, and they also sneered when they got together during the New Year's holidays.

knew that Ye Liancheng's death was unknown, but he was afraid that he would offend the leaders above and lose his official position, so that Yang Sulan asked him several times to help investigate the cause of Ye Liancheng's death, Yang Baocheng and Yang Baolin were both perfunctory.

What is even more infuriating is that Yang Sulan went back to her parents' house to borrow money to compensate for the economic losses of the deceased's family, but Yang Baocheng and Yang Baolin, who were deputy directors of the county local taxation bureau and the grain bureau respectively, refused to borrow a penny.

If you don't borrow it, forget it, when you drink with others behind your back, what do you say Yang Sulan wants to compensate hundreds of thousands of people, if you lend money to Yang Sulan, with Yang Sulan and a son, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in this life.
