The news that Li Youwei and Wang Ping'an won the top prize in arts and sciences in the province's college entrance examination was announced by Wang Ping through a loudspeaker in the evening.
Although Zhou Yang and Wang Ping received the news in the morning, because they did not see the provincial newspaper, Zhou Yang did not let Wang Ping announce the news at that time.
It was not until the evening that Li Changqing had someone send them the provincial newspaper that Zhou Yang asked Wang Ping to tell everyone the good news.
Suddenly there were two No. 1 picks and one No. 3 pick in the village. Wang Ping was so excited that he directly turned up the volume in the radio room to the maximum, and then read the report from the provincial newspaper five times word for word!
That’s right, five times!
When the educated youth members in the village heard the news coming from the loudspeaker, they were all stunned. There were two number one winners and one third overall winner in the village. This was a great joy!
In spite of their joy, people rushed to the brigade headquarters regardless of the biting cold wind!
Everyone knows that such an important matter must be reported in the provincial news.
Apart from Zhou Yang's family, the only people in the village who knew that the brigade headquarters had a TV set.
In addition, some people immediately found the tractor driver and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town...
...........
In addition to the brigade, Zhou Yang's family was also very lively today.
Before Zhou Yang and Li Youwei came back, Zhang Guiying came to Zhou Yang's house with her elder sister-in-law Lin Aizhi and fourth sister-in-law Zhong Na. They also brought a lot of flour, brown sugar, eggs and so on.
After arriving at Zhou Yang's house, Zhang Guiying immediately started busy under Huang Rufeng's stunned eyes!
Fortunately, Huang Rufeng also knew about the relationship between Zhou Yang and the Li family, so she didn't stop him.
The main reason why Zhang Guiying came over unexpectedly was to prepare some food for her daughter and son-in-law to receive guests.
After all, she has been through this before, so she understands these worldly things better.
When the number one scholar is elected in the family, it is inevitable for people to come to congratulate them. This is a custom in the village.
Generally speaking, when people come to congratulate you, they will definitely not come empty-handed. As a host, you should always express your gratitude.
For example, if you treat someone to some pastries, a few pieces of wedding candy, etc., firstly, it is a return gift, and secondly, it also brings joy to the person congratulating you.
But Zhang Guiying also knows that her daughter and son-in-law are relatively casual people and may not necessarily know this.
Even if they knew, they were both so busy that they might not be able to prepare in time, so they simply brought the things and came to help.
When Zhou Yang and Li Youwei came back, their mother-in-law not only prepared dinner, but also fried them a lot of small pancakes and sugar-coated eggs.
The Zhou family had just finished their meal when they heard movement outside the gate.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ping'an and Cui Jinjin, the two liberal arts champions, and Tanhua led the team, and a dozen male and female educated youths walked in from outside.
So many people poured into the room at once, and it felt a little crowded for an instant.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately called some people to sit on the kang.
Others had to sit on stools if they had stools, sit on small ones if they had a horse. Those who had nothing had to stand.
After a brief greeting, Zhou Yang saw everyone holding a cloth bag in their hands and asked curiously: "Ping An, Lao Cui, what are you holding in your hands? Is it a gift for my wife? "
Cui Jinjin smiled and said, "You're overthinking it, it's a firecracker!"
"firecracker?"
"Well, in order to celebrate your wife and Ping An High School's liberal arts champion, we went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of firecrackers. We planned to set off all these firecrackers after watching TV!" Cui Qian said.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Hahaha, that's how it should be!"
Cui Jinjin asked again: "By the way, Lao Zhou, your wife is the top pick in high school. This is a great event. Would you like to set up a few tables to celebrate?"
"There's no need. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are too many things going on in the village. How can we have time to deal with this!"
Regarding whether to hold a banquet to celebrate, Zhou Yang and Li Youwei were surprisingly unanimous in their thoughts, no!
It's not that you're afraid of spending money. You won't lose money by setting up a banquet. After all, no matter who comes to the banquet, they won't come empty-handed.
Just like last time when their son was one month old, even though Zhou Yang made it clear that he would not charge money, in the end they still got back hundreds of dollars more.
Mainly it’s troublesome!
With Zhou Yang's current identity and status, once the banquet is set up, it will definitely be a big event in the village. Most of the educated youth members in the village will come by then. Coupled with the research institute and other units, there may be thousands of people participating.
We have to entertain so many people at once, and if we don’t even think about whether the Zhou family can be busy, the impact will not be good.
So Zhou Yang and Li Youwei decided that after receiving the admission notice in a few days, they would have a nice meal at the Li family's old house and have fun with their father-in-law and several uncles.
"If you don't do it here, Ping An won't celebrate it either. It's such a pity!" Cui Jinjin said with some regret.
"Ping'an, aren't you going to celebrate either?" Zhou Yang looked at Wang Ping'an and said.
"Why are you celebrating? I feel regretful now. If I had known that this year's questions would be so easy, I would have applied for Beijing University or Shuimu University. However, as the top scholar in liberal arts, I applied for Ludong University. What a loss!" Wang Pingan Said somewhat helplessly.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Cui Jinjin responded: "What are you talking about? Ludong University is also a national key university. Look at me. I was the top candidate in the college entrance examination in Saibei Province, but I ended up applying to Saibei University. Do you think I am losing money?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "It is true that the scores of you two were a bit wasted, but if you want to say it is a loss, it is not a loss. After all, there are many students like you who got high scores but enrolled in a slightly worse school. yes!"
He didn't mean to comfort Wang Ping'an and Cui Qianjin. Situations like theirs were too common this year.
For example, Dai Jianye, a well-known ancient literature research expert in later generations, also took the college entrance examination this year with a score of 289. He finally applied for Central China Normal University, which had an admission score of only 189, which was a full 100 points above the admission score.
This year, the admission score of Beijing University in Chubei Province was only 270, so Professor Dai just missed out on the opportunity.
Cui Jinjin smiled and said: "That's true, my requirements are not high anyway, as long as I can go to university, I can study in any school!"
Wang Ping'an's mentality was also good, and he said: "Yes, it would be good to study in a university. What more do you ask for!"
As he was talking, Zhou Yang suddenly saw that the hands of the clock on the big red cabinet were almost seven o'clock. The TV program was about to start, so he turned on the TV immediately.
These days, TV programs usually start at 7 p.m., and the first program is TV news. However, after New Year's Day this year, the TV news was changed to "Xinwen Lianbo".
Sure enough, as soon as the TV was turned on, the familiar host from Beijing TV Station appeared on the screen.
Zhou Yang immediately turned the tuner on the upper right corner of the TV and adjusted it to the Saibei Province channel.
At this time, the provincial station was also broadcasting news programs, but it was not a simultaneous rebroadcast of the Beijing TV station's news broadcast, but local news.
After seeing the familiar host of the local station, everyone in the room became quiet and focused, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the TV screen.
As usual, local news first reports on the developments of provincial leaders, usually one by one according to their positions.
After the leadership dynamics are over, major economic events or major activities in the province will follow.
More than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but the college entrance examination was never mentioned.
Just when everyone thought there would be no reports on this aspect today, the dignified and beautiful host suddenly said: "The following report is the latest news about the college entrance examination in our province. We learned from the Provincial Education Commission that the college entrance examination enrollment work in our province has begun. The final physical examination and political review stages have been completed. Candidates who currently pass the cultural examination will gradually receive physical examination notices issued by the provincial admissions office and various universities..."
“In addition, I learned from the Provincial Education Commission that the number of people in our province who took the college entrance examination this year was 220,000, and 57,000 people passed the cultural exam, ranking first in the country. It is worth mentioning that the number of liberal arts and science students in our province’s college entrance examination this year The number one scholar Wang Pingan and Li Youwei are actually from the same village, both from Babaoliang Village, Tuanjie Commune, Yunshan County..."
Before the host could finish speaking, everyone in the main room of the Zhou family burst into loud cheers.
Afterwards, Wang Ping'an, Cui Qianjin and others quickly came to the yard and lit the "Er Kick" firecrackers they had brought.
Soon, the loud sound of firecrackers resounded throughout Babaoliang Village!
The same scene also happened in the yard of the brigade headquarters. There were more people here, and the "bang bang" sound of firecrackers lasted for more than an hour, and it lasted for a long time...
