Chapter 3882 3884【Dark willows and bright flowers】
It was mid-August. One day, Xiang Nan was weeding in the fields.
“Son, don’t worry about it. Even if you don’t get into college, you can still make money by working in the sugar gang.” Chen Jintu comforted his son while weeding.
In recent days, students from several surrounding townships have received admission notices.
Since being able to go to college was a big deal at that time, anyone who received an admission notice would be celebrated by the whole village with gongs and drums and red and colorful decorations.
So this kind of news spread very quickly, and it spread throughout the county in less than a few days. But Xiang Nan's admission notice did not arrive, so people in Chenjia Village assumed that Xiang Nan would have no chance of going to college this time.
Xiang Nan nodded.
If there is really no chance of going to college, then he can only continue to work in the sugar gang. Fortunately, in a few years, the market will be liberalized. At that time, it will not be difficult to make money with his brains.
"His dad, stop talking about this." Zhang Jiuxiang was afraid of arousing Xiang Nan's sadness, so he advised Chen Jintu.
Chen Jintu nodded.
But his grades were really good. He scored 420 points, more than 100 points above the undergraduate level, and was among the best in the province.
After all, as long as he passes the score line, someone will definitely be jealous. And without such a high score, those admissions teachers may not speak for him.
At this moment, the loudspeaker in the village suddenly sounded, "Dagang, Chen Daguang, come to the brigade quickly, your college admission notice has arrived!" It was the voice of the village chief Chen Jinshui.
He originally thought that he would not be able to go to college, but he was overjoyed to find out that there was always a bright future ahead of him.
Xiang Nan nodded and walked into the brigade headquarters.
“It’s a good thing, brother, you’ve been waiting for it.” Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
Xiang Nan came to the brigade headquarters in one breath.
Xiang Nan nodded, handed the **** to Chen Jintu, and then rushed back to the brigade headquarters.
Xiang Nan took the paper bag and opened it. The word Fudan suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It was Fudan University that admitted him.
“Great job.”
Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang were also stunned, and then they dropped their hoes in unison, hugged Xiang Nan together, and shouted excitedly, "Son, did you hear that? Your admission notice has arrived, so hurry up and go."
Especially after hearing that he had not even graduated from elementary school yet actually scored such a high score, Fudan’s admissions office couldn’t bear to give up on such a genius, so they overcame all objections and sent him an admission notice.
Hence, Xiang Nan can also be said to have made many mistakes. If he hadn't scored such a high score, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of the admissions office. By then, he may not even be able to get into college.
Xiang Nan was stunned.
…
“Da Guang, look at it, this is your admission notice. The postman just delivered it.” Chen Jinshui smiled and handed over a brown paper bag and said, “Open it quickly and see which university it is from.”
“Brother Daguang, your admission notice has arrived~” Qiao Gu came out and smiled.
“Daguang, I really have you~”
“Daguang, congratulations~”
It turns out that Xiang Nan was snitched on, which did have some impact.
The villagers he met on the road congratulated Xiang Nan.
Therefore, what Lao Tzu said is true, "Blessings come from disasters, and misfortunes come from blessings." Misfortunes and blessings complement each other.
“It’s great that the admission notice has really arrived.”
“Where is Fudan? I’ve never heard of it before.” “After Da Guang, I really became a college student. It’s really amazing~”
The villagers all said it one after another.
Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang's faces were even brighter and beaming with joy, and they invited the villagers to come to their house for a drink in the evening. When my son is admitted to college, he is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. He is worth a hundred times as much and deserves a good celebration.
Chen Jinshui also asked the villagers to take out the gongs and drums from the brigade headquarters, cover Xiang Nan with red and colorful colors, and surrounded him, beating the gongs and drums, and walked around the village several times.
Chenjia Village has been established for hundreds of years without producing a single scholar. Now that Xiang Nan has been admitted to university, it is really something worth celebrating. This is the pride of their Chenjia Village and the pride of their Sugar Gang.
Soon, the news that Xiang Nan was admitted to Fudan spread throughout Yiwu, and everyone was envious of him.
Luo Yuzhu also received the news and was very happy for Xiang Nan, "A good person like him should go to university. This is God's foresight."
…
At the end of August, Xiang Nan officially got on the train and headed to Hujiang to go to school.
“Da Guang, you must study hard and make progress every day.” Chen Jintu told him.
“Daguang, remember to take care of yourself when you are out.” Zhang Jiuxiang also warned.
“Brother Daguang, please remember to write to me.” Qiaogu said reluctantly.
“Daguang, please take care of yourself,” Chen Jianghe also said.
Xiang Nan waved to everyone and then got on the train.
When Xiang Nan came to the carriage and found a seat to sit down, he looked at the person opposite and was slightly startled.
“Comrade, where are you going?” he asked with a smile.
“I’m going to the capital.” The man opposite smiled, “What about you?”
“I’m going to Hujiang.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “College student?”
"Yes, I just passed the exam this year." The man nodded, "What about you?"
“What a coincidence, so am I.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “Comrade, what’s your name?”
“My name is Qiu Yingjie.” The man smiled and said, “Comrade, what about you?”
He is exactly the Qiu Yingjie in "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", who was selfless and diligent, so that he became ill from overwork and died young.
“My name is Chen Daguang.” Xiang Nan nodded.
"Oh, you are Chen Daguang. I have admired you for a long time." Qiu Yingjie said in surprise.
The news that Xiang Nan did not graduate from elementary school and was born in the Tang Gang, but got a high score of 420 points and was admitted to Fudan University, is known to everyone in Yiwu.
"Really? I don't even know that I'm so famous." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Of course, you are a legend in Yiwu." Qiu Yingjie said with a smile, "I heard that you joined the candy gang before you graduated from elementary school. Your first business was to use a piece of candy in exchange for three A thousand-dollar antique?”
"Haha, don't mention this kind of thing." Xiang Nan said with a haha.
"Comrade, I'm very curious about the sugar gang. Can you tell me about it?" Qiu Yingjie asked again, "Why are you willing to take risks to do this kind of business? Can you really make money in this kind of business? One day How much profit can the profit possibly be..."
“Hey, who would want to be bald if they have hair.” Xiang Nan explained, “We have seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland in Yiwu. If we just rely on farming, the income of the people in a year will not be enough to fill their stomachs.
If you want to survive, you have to think of other ideas. After all, a living person cannot suffocate to death, so the business of exchanging chicken feathers for sugar has been around since ancient times. Just like the well-known Huizhou merchants, Shanxi merchants, and Fujian merchants in ancient times, the reason why merchants emerged in these places was because they could not fill their stomachs by farming, and they had no choice but to go out to do business.
Exactly in line with the saying, if you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be general, and if you are general, you will be long-term. "
