Chen Ming only returned home in the evening.
Uncle is in the village| The office had already seen his notice, so she did not follow him over. Instead, she went home to prepare dinner.
At this moment, Chen Ming was holding an envelope in his hand. On the envelope, there were five big words written with a brush: " Letter of admission." In the lower right corner, there were five small words: " To Student Chen Ming."
Xu Xiufen and Chen Dalin looked at the envelope in their son's hand with excitement.
Chen Ming took out the notice from the envelope and handed it to his parents.""Dad, Mom, this is my notice.”
Chen Dalin carefully took it and observed it carefully.
In this era, the acceptance letter was not that fancy. It was just a piece of red paper with the words " Congratulations to Student Chen Ming for being accepted by our school. Please report to our school before January 3rd. The address is..."
Even though it was such a simple admission notice, Chen Dalin and Xu Xiufen were filled with joy as they read it several times.
Even his younger siblings stood on their tiptoes to take a look.
"Dad, Mom, other than the admission notice, the school also sent these!”Chen Ming took out a stack of food stamps and cloth stamps from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Chen Dalin and Xu Xiufen looked at the thick stack of notes on the table, and their pupils constricted slightly.
"You want to send food, cloth, and money to get into university? Why are you giving so many?" Chen Dalin's face was filled with disbelief.
Chen Ming said slowly," The college entrance examination has just resumed. We are the first batch of students. The school might have given us this gift to show their sincerity. Future college students won't have this treatment.”
The excuse he made up sounded very reasonable.
Chen Dalin and Xu Xiufen didn't know much about universities either. They thought that universities were very generous, so they immediately believed it.
"It's good to be admitted to university. It can also benefit our family!”Xu Xiufen said with a smile.
Chen Ming did not forget to remind them." Dad, Mom, don't tell anyone about this. Use these food and meat stamps secretly so that others won't be jealous. Friends and relatives can help a little, but don't tell them about this.”
Xu Xiufen and Chen Dalin knew that money should not be revealed. They nodded."Ming, we understand!"
Xu Xiufen turned to the three children and instructed,"Don't talk too much.| Head out, you hear me?"
The younger brother and sister nodded obediently.
Xu Xiufen took out a food ticket, cloth ticket, and meat ticket." I'll go and exchange for some white flour and pork. I'll cook a good meal tonight and change some cloth to make a new set of clothes for Mingzi. You can't wear old clothes when you go to university, so as not to make a fool of yourself in the city."”
After saying that, she went out with a face full of joy.
Chen Dalin took out a large portion of the notes on the table and hid them in the cabinet in the inner room, leaving a small portion of the notes and all the notes.
He stuffed the notes into Chen Ming's hands and said,""Mingzi, our family doesn't need money. Take all this money to school and leave some food stamps and meat stamps for later use.”
According to the memories of his previous life, these were not needed in the military academy. Not only was the school free of charge, but they also had sufficient food subsidies every month. Military uniforms and the like were also distributed, which was equivalent to the treatment of conscripts.
However, he still took it from his father and gave half of the money to Chen Dalin."Dad, I only need half of the money. You can keep the rest.”
Seeing the determination in his son's eyes, Chen Dalin said,"Alright!"
He took the half of the money and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he said with a gratified expression,"Mingzi, I thought you were still young. Your mother and I were a little worried that you would not be able to adapt to going to university in another city, but it seems that you have really grown up.”
The corner of Chen Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He thought to himself, how could he not be mature when there was a soul that had gone through a lot of hardships under his body?
Then, the two of them sat back by the fire and started chatting.
……
In the blink of an eye, five days later.
As the school day approached, Chen Ming had no choice but to leave home and set sail.
Before dawn, Xu Xiufen got up to help Chen Ming pack his things.
He stuffed a few sets of clothes, two new jackets, and a teacup into the snakeskin bag.
He stuffed the freshly made bread into his bag. This way, even if Chen Ming was hungry on the train, he would have food to satisfy his hunger. After all, it would take an entire day to travel from Hebei Province to Hunan Province by train.
Chen Ming woke up in the morning. After breakfast, he went to the village gate accompanied by his family.
A donkey cart was parked at the entrance of the village. Old Man Li, who was responsible for delivering goods in the village, was sitting on the donkey cart and smoking.
A few days ago, his father, Chen Dalin, had informed Old Man Li to take Chen Ming to the county train station with a donkey cart today.
Chen Ming put the luggage on the donkey cart and sat on it himself. He shouted to Old Man Li,"Uncle Li, let's go!"
Old Man Li didn't waste any time. He pulled the reins and the donkey started walking forward.
"Ming, go outside and take good care of yourself!”Xu Xiufen shouted at Chen Ming worriedly.
"Got it!" Chen Ming waved at his parents.
Although his father, Xu Dalin, did not say anything, it was obvious from his eyes that he was also very reluctant.
Having lived two lives, Chen Ming naturally knew that compared to maternal love, fatherly love was often silent.
The younger siblings had no concept of parting. They just blinked and watched Chen Ming leave.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the donkey cart arrived at the county train station. After Chen Ming thanked Old Man Li, he hurried to buy tickets.
There was a fixed time to take the bus from the county to the provincial capital. If he was late, he could only wait for the bus tomorrow.
Fortunately, Chen Ming successfully bought a ticket and boarded the bus to the provincial capital.
The bus started moving slowly. Chen Ming leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside. He sighed in his heart.
In her previous life, she was ignorant and fearless. She only wanted to leave this remote place.
At that time, he was tired of the poverty and backwardness of this place. He dreamed of escaping one day and going out to see the world and live a better life.
Other than studying and joining the army, the children in the countryside basically had no other way to leave.
Later, he went to many big cities. There were indeed different sceneries. Highways, high-rise buildings, and dense crowds. It was indeed incomparable to his poor hometown.
However, as he drifted further and further away, he realized that his longing for his hometown could not be stopped for a moment.
Ps: Little brother kneels and begs for data flowers!! Thank you, everyone! The next one was even more exciting!
