In the evening, on the Taiping Bridge at the entrance of Qiankan Village, Qin Jin watched Cai Fangfang ride away until her back was gone. Only then did he drag his tired body home step by step.
"Alright! I'll go now."
After saying that, Qin Zaifa turned around and strode out of the courtyard. After a few steps, he looked up and saw the person he was looking for. He shouted,"Qin Jin, you're back! Are you tired?"
"I'm not very tired. It's alright. Let's go back!”Qin Jin raised his voice.
Qin Zaifa stopped in his tracks. He put his hands on his waist and said with a smile," You're good, kid. You're so good at swimming. You're really something."”
At this time, Qin Jin had already walked up to the speaker and said with a smile,""Grandpa, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go inside and talk.”
"Grandma, I'm a young man. I have the strength to eat my fill. You guys can eat the eggs yourself!”
"Good! Good! Good! My grandson has grown up and knows how to care for his grandparents. Then I'll cook more and let everyone eat together. How about that?”
"Yes, okay. Grandma, you're busy. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes.”
"Hurry up, don't catch a cold!"
After taking a shower, Qin Jin washed the clothes in the bathroom. He quickly washed the clothes and took them to the balcony to hang them.
"Qin Jin, dinner is ready. Let's eat!”Qin Jin, who was hanging the clothes, heard Grandma's shout and replied loudly,""There are still two more clothes. I'll hang them up immediately. You guys eat first.”
In the kitchen, Qin Zaifa said happily,""Aiya! She had grown up after all and had already washed her own clothes.”
"It's not like you! What a slovenly appearance." Wang Fengzhi casually dismissed his wife.
Qin Jin put down the empty bucket and walked into the kitchen." Grandpa, Grandma, what are you talking about?"”
Qin Zaifa immediately complained," I just praised you for being sensible. Your grandma! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, and he insists that I'm sloppy.”
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Now that Qin Jin is here, let's eat together!" Wang Fengzhi said. Qin Jin's bowl of four sunny side up eggs is yours. Your grandfather and I have two eggs in one bowl.”
"Why? Are there no eggs at home? I'll eat two, and you guys eat three each.”After Qin Jin finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of eggs and gave one to each of them.
"You child!"
"Qin Jin, what about you?"
The family of three stood up and scrambled to give way to the eggs. Just as they were about to pick up the eggs, they heard the sound of "Bala, Bala" coming from the courtyard door. Footsteps.
"Grandpa, Grandma, you guys eat. Someone has entered the courtyard. I'll go see who it is.”Qin Jin said as he picked up an egg.
After Qin Jin finished speaking, he turned around and took two steps. He saw a short figure swaying in front of him, and then he heard," It was so lively! What are they fighting for?"
"Oh, hello, Chief Wang! What brings you here? Have you eaten dinner? Quick, quick... Please sit down!" Qin Jin welcomed them warmly.
"I just ate. You're welcome! We're all from the same village. As for why we're here, of course it's for you!”The guest said very kindly.
"For me, what do I have that is worth Director Wang's visit?”Qin Jin replied thoughtfully. Then, he began to size up this uninvited guest. Although Qin Jin was studying in the city, he knew the situation of the villagers like the back of his hand. His name was Wang Nengan, and he was about 45 years old. He had a son and a daughter. His son was 20 years old this year, and his daughter was 18 years old. Coincidentally, his son, Wang Suoran, was also taking the college entrance examination this year. He was the current village director of Qiankan Village. He was very capable, but he also liked to play tricks. His grandparents usually did not think much of him.
"Haha! Qin Jin, the news of you saving people this afternoon has already spread throughout the village. What good skills!" Chief Wang opened his honey-covered mouth and politely said to the young man in plaid clothes at the dining table. After saying that, he even stole a glance at the other party's expression.
Chief Wang hunched his back and looked at Qin Jin with shifty eyes. He choked and asked,""Qin... Qin Jin, how were your college entrance examination results this time?”
"Oh, I didn't do well this time. 541 points. Your Suo Ran did well, right?"
Wang Gan didn't answer Qin Jin but asked,""You really scored 541 points?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zaifa, who was taking half a bite of an egg, choked up and could not speak.咡...咡...”His face was flushed red from the incessant ringing. He had no choice but to put down the chopsticks in his hand, stand up, and point his trembling right hand at Qin Jin.
Seeing this, Wang Fengzhi quickly brought over a cup of warm water and poured it into the mouth with the thick white beard. With two gurgles, the hiccups were gone.
At this moment, Chief Wang straightened his back, coughed, and said loudly,"Why didn't Qin Jin do well? It's no wonder that your grandfather is so anxious!”
Wang Fengzhi seemed to believe that Qin Jin really did not do well this time. She scolded her precious grandson," Jin 'er, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you do well in this crucial test?"”
Qin Jin's mind was in a mess. He didn't know what to do. He just glared at Director Wang coldly and cursed in his heart," D * mn it, I get what I get. Don't tell me that you, the village director, have to care about the children's academic results?" You're really a busybody."
Chief Wang, who was respectful to Qin Jin when he entered, patted his oily hair gently on his forehead. He shook his shoulders and straightened his collar. He said as if he was adding fuel to the fire,"Yeah! That's right! Why didn't I do well? No wonder he didn't do well. It took a lot of effort to be so good at swimming!”
After Chief Wang heard this, he immediately laughed and said proudly,"Sigh! My Suo Ran is very smart, but he's usually a little mischievous, so he didn't do well this time. He only scored 617 points. Although he didn't do well, he still scored 70 to 80 points more than your Qin Jin. We know how difficult it is to study nowadays! It was not easy to get three to five points in the exam, let alone so many points!”
Qin Zaifa was rendered speechless by Chief Wang's glib words. He could only nod his head vigorously and echo in a low voice," Yes, yes, that's right."
When Qin Jin heard this and saw his grandfather's expression, he really wanted to raise his bowl-sized fist and punch this dwarf. This guy who had fanning the flames, of course, also thought of running to the bedroom to take out the report card and rebuke this unfriendly guest. However, he also thought that once the true results were made public, his grandparents would definitely force him to go to Jinghua University. At that time, he wouldn't be able to explain it to them, and he might even leak the bad news of his parents. Qin Jin tapped his forehead with his right index finger twice as if he was thinking about a difficult problem. Then he shook his head, obviously thinking that reporting the actual results was not worth it.
Director Wang didn't finish his words. How could he miss such a good opportunity to perform? He couldn't help but say," Qin Jin, you scored 541 points and can only study in a bad school in the province! My Suo Ran received the acceptance letter from Jinghua Industrial School this afternoon. You haven't received the acceptance letter yet, right?”
"Maybe!"
He was a dignified seven-foot-tall man, the city's top scholar, a well-rounded man with both literary and military skills, and a leader with both virtue and ability. He was actually humiliated by the village director of his own village because he joined the army. It was really heartbreaking!
Qin Jin thought to himself," Let's go, the faster the better. I don't like him at all." At this moment, a gust of cold wind gently hit Qin Jin's body. He suddenly shivered, and his mind suddenly became much clearer. His irritable mood calmed down. Qin Jin, who was well-read, thought of an article in a junior high school textbook. It was the story of Uncle Qiu. Uncle Qiu was a soldier. He participated in missions and confronted the enemy. The timid enemy did not dare to stand guard and patrol. He used a flamethrower to set fire everywhere to scare Uncle Qiu and the others away. The enemy continued to fire until a fire finally started half a meter away from Uncle Qiu. Then, the flames followed the wind and gradually burned Uncle Qiu's feet and buttocks…Uncle Qiu was an excellent soldier. In order not to expose the whereabouts of the troops, he gritted his teeth and insisted on not making a sound. Half an hour later, Uncle Qiu left. He did not violate the rules and did not expose his target. However, when the reinforcements arrived, they surrounded the enemy and wiped them out. This battle of complete victory was inseparable from Uncle Qiu's great tolerance.
After thinking about this, Qin Jin stood up and took a stool for Chief Wang to sit on. He said politely,"Uncle Wang, do you want some tea?"
Chief Wang was confused by this sudden change. He could only decline." I'm not drinking. You guys eat. I'm going back."”
Qin Jin saw Chief Wang turn around and walk towards the courtyard door. He shouted,""Uncle Wang, take care."
Qin Zaifa said angrily to his grandson,""You... Why did you do so badly in your last exam? Jinghua University must be urging you to get your results!”
Qin Jin didn't say anything but brewed two cups of warm tea for the two elders. Seeing that the two elders 'anger had subsided, he calmly said,""Grandpa, Grandma, I didn't do well this time, but it's not like Chief Wang said that I won't be able to study. My teacher told me that I got into the National Defense University of Liangjian. I believe that the admission notice will come in two days.”
Wang Fengzhi grumbled," Qin Jin! When you were in your first year of high school, I told you to study hard and get into Jinghua University, but... But you got into some National Defense University, sigh!”
Qin Zaifa, who had seen a little of the world, said unhurriedly,"Liangjian National Defense University is also a good university. I remember that Tianming studied all night and forgot to eat and sleep before he just got into the university. His test score was only one point above the admission score, which means that the university is not simple! Recently, I've been hearing that 'outstanding students are prioritized in the military.' It must not be easy to get into the National Defense University of Liangjian. Qin Jin, it's a blessing in disguise that you can get into the university. It's better than not going to any university! Otherwise, that 'Old Duck Wang' would have been so smug when he went around advertising. Sigh! Now, I can be considered to have saved some face."
"Sigh! Qiankan Village hadn't produced a single Jinghua University student for 40 consecutive years. They wanted Qin Jin to make a name for himself, but…It's ruined!" Grandma Wang Fengzhi said sadly.
"My wife! It was precisely because no one had been admitted for so many years that Jinghua University was not easy to get into. Qin Jin had already tried his best to get into Liangjian, so stop blaming him!”Qin Zaifa comforted his wife.
When Qin Jin heard his grandparents 'complaints, he felt very sad. He could have slammed the table and said loudly," I got first place in the city and exceeded the admission line of Jinghua University by more than 40 points ", but he didn't do so because he already had a goal in mind: Go to Liangjian National Defense University and study hard to become an outstanding special forces soldier. Find out about Du Long and his parents.
In the end, Wang Fengzhi wiped away two lines of tears and said helplessly,"Alright then! Let Qin Jin study at the university his father attended! Anyway, it's better than nothing!"
"Yeah!" Qin Zaifa echoed. It was better than nothing. The army was a place to train people, and it felt pretty good.”
After saying that, the family of three washed the pot, put away the dishes, boiled water and prepared to wash up. In short, they were busy. Half an hour later, the courtyard was dark and quiet.
