The postman was from the town, so he knew a lot about the mayor's wife.
Sun Dongqing wasn't the only one who came to get the notice. Everyone who had a child in their family came. The adults were more eager to get the notice than the children.
Ye Ying was wearing a floral dress. She hadn't been out in the sun for the whole summer, so her skin was much fairer than before. She wasn't as flamboyant as before. She stood beside Sun Dongqing and looked very well-behaved.
Everyone in the village knew about the incident on the third day of school last year. Ye Ying didn't come back during the winter break. She stayed in the provincial capital to study English.
Now that a year had passed, the villagers didn't say anything. Ye Ying had also kept a low profile, so the villagers forgot about it.
Zhang Defu took out Ye Ying's notice and handed it over. "This is for your family." He then handed over the other four notices. "Come, come, come. These are for your families. The rest … go away."
Eleven children and six notices. Naturally, those who didn't get in didn't get in.
"Oh, Yingying. She's from the provincial first high school. She's really from the provincial first high school. I knew it. My Yingying will definitely get into the provincial first high school. " Sun Dongqing looked at the school on the notice and smiled. She was not only proud, but also disdainful. She glanced at the other villagers who didn't get the notice and comforted them with a fake smile. "It's okay. Studying isn't the only way out for this child. There are three hundred and sixty professions. Every profession has its own master. It's good that she can work to earn money."
It was easy for her to say that. If she really wanted her child to work, she wouldn't have come here to get the notice.
No one argued with her. They had no choice. She was the mayor's wife.
"Go away, go away. We're all from the same village. Can you stop arguing?" Zhang Defu looked at the smug Sun Dongqing and sighed in his heart. Zhifan's wife was looking down on people more and more.
Sun Dongqing looked at him with disdain and said coldly, "I'm just telling the truth. You need talent to study. My Yingying was born to study. How can she be compared to them?" She then turned to the other four villagers who got the notice. "Look, which school did you get into?"
Uncle Gen came in just in time to hear this. He walked over with a gloomy face. "Defu, give me Miss Jian's notice."
As soon as the old man spoke, Sun Dongqing and her mother both stiffened.
Zhang Defu smiled in his heart and said respectfully, "I was just about to deliver it to you. Is Miss Jian not back yet?"
"He said he would be back in ten days." Uncle Gen took the notice and looked at the school on it. He smiled.
Ye Ying glanced at him and greeted politely, "Grandpa Gen."
"Yes, I'll do better if I get into the Provincial First High School." It didn't mean to study hard, but to learn well. The order of the words was slightly different, but the meaning was completely different. One simply meant to study hard, while the other meant to learn how to be a good person.
Uncle Gen didn't like adults, but for a child, no matter how bad his character was, he wouldn't mind.
Even someone as smart as Ye Ying could tell. She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the coldness in her eyes and said obediently, "You're right. It wasn't easy for me to get into a good school. I have to study hard. Otherwise, I won't be able to get into a university."
"My Yingying is so sensible. Uncle Gen, how did the little girl do? She had originally thought that she must be amazing since she had won an international award and the first place in the cohort. But in the end, she didn't come back with any good results. "
