Chapter 420 (2/2)
It's not far to go home. The hot sun in the afternoon is shining on the asphalt road. The heat of transpiration is almost melting the soles of plastic sandals.
But Mei Xiaoran is happy in her heart. She would rather follow Ouyang for such a long way.
”When school starts, I'll take you to report. Don't let uncle Mei send you off.”
Mei Xiaoran is dumbfounded. Ouyangxun is waiting for her here.
”I'm afraid I can't be in charge of this? It depends on my parents' ideas. ”
”Your brother has been admitted to the University, or the University in the capital. Won't your father and mother send your brother? Do you think too much? ”
Ouyang Xun is also early to play a small plate, but also calculate a clear family!
Mei Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, but he didn't agree to him like this. Instead, he pushed the boat along the river: ”let's wait until the time comes.”
Ouyang Xun's expectant little eyes became dim and made Mei Xiaoran smile
After being carried home, Mei Zhonghua was drunk all night. He didn't wake up until the next morning. However, he was still excited and yelled, ”both children have passed the college entrance examination. This is because Mei's ancestors are smoking. I have to go back to my hometown and tell my parents about it. I have to set up some tables in the village.”
Mei Xiaoran advised her father, ”what did you drink yesterday? Do you want to continue drinking?”
”That must be. You and your brother have passed the examination. Dad is happy!”
When Mei Zhonghua said this, his eyes suddenly turned red. ”When you two brothers and sisters were admitted to junior high school, dad tried every means to collect the tuition fees. Now we have a good life and you have been admitted to university. You don't know how happy dad is in his heart!”
Looking at the tears in his father's eyes, Mei Xiaoran was moved to cry, ”Dad, now life is good. What do you say? At that time, our family was very difficult. Did you not say that you would not let me and my brother read? You see, other people's children will not be allowed to go to school until 16-7. The boy will let him go out to find a job, or help the family to grow land. The girl will find a husband's family to marry. You can insist that my brother and I go to school. This is all your skill! ”Ye two can't help but fan a feeling, both crying nose big head down.
Finally, Mei Xiaoran was persuaded by her father and went back to his hometown with her brother.
After arriving at meijiazhuang, Mei Zhonghua went to tell his father and the villagers that their two children had been admitted to a key university. The whole meijiazhuang was a sensation You know, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, meijiazhuang only two college students.
The villagers of meijiazhuang have been farming for generations. Most of them are farmers, which is not to say that there are no scholars. It is said that there were scholars and scholars in our ancestors, but we don't know what year or month it was. Now we hear that the two children of meizhonghua family have been admitted to university. That kind of excitement is not only a fake, but also a heartfelt joy.
Even though he was nearly 80 years old, the old man of the Mei family also directed his younger son to worship at the ancestral tomb.
Mei Zhonghua had this intention. Now he took Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister, as well as other Mei's nephews and nephews, brought firecrackers and sacrifices to kowtow at the ancestral tomb.
Looking at her father kneeling down in front of her ancestor's grave and saying words of consolation to her ancestors, Mei Xiaoran felt as if she had passed away This kind of occasion can only be seen in the countryside of this era, and almost never seen in later generations. This kind of ritual feeling can only be realized by people living in this generation.
Mei Zhonghua was grateful to his ancestors, so he personally opened the firecrackers. It was a hundred thousand big firecrackers, which were fired on the grave, crackling and ringing all over the sky.
In the sound of firecrackers, Mei Zhonghua holds Mei Xiaoran in one hand and Mei Xiaolei in the other hand to kowtow to his ancestors. He murmurs to himself: only when the two children are blessed by the ancestors can they have such a promising future and be admitted to university!
