Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

By the time Grandpa Du, who was surprised, happy, and doubtful, pulled on his shoes and returned to the house, Haoyu and the others had already quickly climbed onto the kang, and each of them shrank behind the sleepy Ya'er who was holding the quilt.

The brothers just entered the house in a hurry. Before Grandma Du could say anything, Haoyu went to take out their amulets and the quilt. Although Ya'er's small body was thin, in the eyes of the Haoyu brothers,

, but it is as towering as a mountain and can withstand grandpa's violent storm.

Grandpa Du looked at his good granddaughter who was yawning so sleepily, with her little head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, that she had to hold back the anger in her stomach. Grandpa Du lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, this time in the middle of the night,

What kind of joy are you naughty children trying to avenge?"

Haoyu and the others hid behind Ya'er and became more courageous. They were really here to announce the good news.

"Grandpa, let's wait a little longer. Let's wait until Grandpa Li, uncle, and uncle come over. Let's talk about it, so as not to waste our saliva. In order to announce the good news to everyone, we ran for several hours overnight." Xiao Hai

He said to Grandpa Du with a playful smile.[

Xiaohai had calculated correctly that he was far enough away from his grandfather that the soles of his shoes could not be photographed. However, he obviously forgot that Grandma Du, who was also anxious next to him, was still there.

Grandma Du slapped Xiaohai on the head, "You stinky boy, tell me quickly, what's the point of selling it?"

"Hurry up. If you want to avoid getting beaten, say it quickly." Father Du, who came in wearing clothes, picked up what Grandma Du said.

Xiaohai and the others originally wanted to stir up the atmosphere and organize their language. Looking at Du Daddy, who had already raised his big palm, the words in his mouth suddenly popped out like fried beans.

"Grandpa, we didn't deliberately cause trouble. We really have a big happy event today."

"That's right, grandpa, in order to tell everyone the good news, we ran on the mountain road in the middle of the night."

"Uncle, we guarantee that after listening to this, you will definitely be happier than us."

Grandpa Du looked at these naughty children and said something to each other, but they couldn't get the point right. He bent down and Xiaohai was so frightened that he immediately shouted, "It's really a great event. All of us have passed the exam."

I'm in college, and the top eight are all taken by our family. Grandpa, grandma, if we follow the old saying, I can be considered the second best in our county, Brother Wenhao is the top pick, and Brother Haoyu is the third overall pick."

As soon as Xiaohai finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the room suddenly became diverse and exciting. However, only Ya'er had sleepy eyes and was still half asleep beside Grandma Du.

Grandpa Du, Dad Du, and Uncle Du were so happy that they didn't close their mouths for a long time. Li Qingyuan and Wang Yazhi were calm and composed, smiling with joy on their faces. Grandma Du, mother-in-law and mother-in-law Du, on the other hand, murmured for a while.

He murmured to himself and cried and laughed for a while.

After coming back to his senses, Grandpa Du picked up his beloved grandson and rubbed it for a while, "Hey, let me tell you, our Ya'er is definitely a lucky little star."

In Grandpa Du's opinion, although his eight grandsons are not stupid, they are all playful and active. Without his little granddaughter to watch them every day, the matter of these boys' college entrance examinations would really be in doubt.

Besides, these naughty kids didn’t go to school for the last month and were all taught by their little granddaughter. According to him, his granddaughter’s abilities are definitely better than those of the teachers in the school. Otherwise, why would the top ones be all taught by his own family?

What about these naughty kids?

After Grandpa Du rubbed his little granddaughter, he looked at the two rows of tall and energetic young men sitting on the kang. He praised them in a rare and friendly manner, "You are all good, too. As expected."

We children of Lao Du's family. Well, for the sake of this good news and to avoid scaring Ya'er, I will spare you the beating today."

Haoyu and others secretly wiped their sweat, saying that they would not do such a thing again next time.

However, although Grandpa Du spoke calmly, his heart was filled with excitement. The old Du family's ancestral grave was about to emit green smoke, and nine college students suddenly appeared. Oh, in ancient times, this would have happened.

It’s not like nine people were born. Although the older generation in my family is poor, the younger generation are all college students, so my family can be considered a scholarly family now.

Grandpa Du feels regretful now. He no longer has to worry about the future of this younger generation. Once they graduate, they will all be fed by the state, and everything will be taken care of by the state. As for the two remaining children in the family of his two daughters,

For his little grandson, Grandpa Du has long made up his mind that from now on, he must pay close attention to education so that they can also pass the college entrance examination in the future.

Now, Grandpa Du's only concern is the precious granddaughter in his arms. Grandpa Du is not worried at all about his little granddaughter's ability to study and study medicine. What Grandpa Du is worried about is what kind of person will be worthy of his family in the future.

A granddaughter who is like a little fairy.

Ever since he realized this problem today, Grandpa Du has specially prepared a small book to record various criteria for finding his grandson-in-law in the future.[

When Grandpa Du was chatting with Li Qingyuan, or listening to Grandma Du chatting about family affairs, whenever he thought of something, he would write it down in his notebook. Of course, the result of this was that when Ya'er grew up, the young and old men of the Du family were the most powerful.

There is a thick set of standards for selecting a son-in-law, and all the men around Ya'er are strictly scrutinized.

Of course, Grandpa Du's grandson-in-law standard is still out of the question. At this moment, everyone has mixed feelings, and their turbulent mood has calmed down, and they are about to ask everyone about their exam status in detail.

"Haoyu, how did the boys in the village do in the exam?" Grandpa Du asked with great concern. Although his family's limelight is determined this time, it can't be just his family.

"Er Shuan and Da Wa have both passed the exam." Before Hao Yu could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door outside the yard.

"Brother Du, hurry up and open the door. You grandparents are too unkind. After shouting a few words, you stopped shouting. The rest of you continued to shout. This time in the middle of the night has broken our hearts.

It's hard to sleep well when you wake up." The village chief shouted at the door.

As soon as Mr. Du opened the door a crack, the village chief, Mr. Guo and six or seven other middle-aged men rushed into the yard like bandits, followed sparsely by the wives and children of each family.

Just now, Haoxuan and Grandpa Du's voices were very loud, and everyone in the village heard everything that should be heard. Those who didn't have candidates at home muttered enviously, and then went back to sleep. But those who had candidates at home, like the village chief's family and Mr. Guo,

Everyone, Dawa Ermao and his family, after listening to Grandpa Du and the others howling, their hearts rose in their throats.

Everyone in this family strained their ears and wanted to hear the next sentence, but in the end they were silent. Because the future of their children was at stake, they couldn't sleep. They hurriedly got dressed and hurried to Du's house.

The second uncle of the Du family also followed behind. Seeing that there was no room for him to step in, he anxiously asked Du's father, who also couldn't enter the house, "Brother, how did all the children in our family do in the exam? How did those two naughty kids do?

Really, I don’t even know how to go home and report first.”

Seeing this, the Haoyu brothers, who were thirsty for what they just said, had to say it again. However, they were not done after they said it once. The father had finished asking, and the mother had not yet asked.

As for how many times the Haoyu brothers said it, Ya'er didn't know. She was sleepy, but the only thing she remembered was that in the middle of the night, the sound of crackling firecrackers suddenly came from the village.

meeting.

The next morning, when Ya'er got up, what she saw was the smiling faces of the whole family. It was definitely a sign that people were in high spirits after a happy event.

"Grandma, where has grandpa gone? Don't we have to wait for grandpa to have breakfast together? Brother Xiaohai, brother Dajiang and the others are not here at all?" Ya'er asked curiously as she saw that there were obviously a few people missing from the dinner table.

"Brother Xiao Hai and the others have returned to their home. Your aunt and uncle don't know yet that they have been admitted to college." Grandma Du answered as she served her granddaughter a bowl of porridge.

"Then why isn't grandpa here?"

"Your grandpa went to the county to look at the rankings with the village chief. They said they were worried if they didn't see the name on the big red paper with their own eyes. Hmph, I think your grandpa was just showing off to others."

Father Du was thinking in his mind whether he should ride his bicycle to the county to take a look, but he was hit by Grandma Du's meaningful words, which hit the nail on the head. The guilty Father Du was just given a mouthful of porridge.

Choked.

Grandma Du really knew her husband very well. In the afternoon, Grandpa Du got off the bullock cart with a bunch of things in his arms. Before long, the sound of firecrackers in the Du family's small courtyard could be heard in the sky.

"Ya'er, let's set off these firecrackers. Grandpa specially bought a thousand firecrackers and eight of them. Let's set them off in one go." Grandpa Du directed his two grandsons to set off the firecrackers, but he pulled his granddaughter in the house.

Listen. Last night, Grandpa Du was very envious when he heard people setting off firecrackers.

Listening to the non-stop sound of firecrackers in the Du family's yard, many villagers in Qinghewan felt envious, jealous, and hateful. In the past two years, they were still joking in their hearts that the Du family was throwing money away, but this year

There were nine college students in total. There were nine people in the family eating national food. Not to mention Qinghewan, even the entire Qingshan County was not so impressive.

No, they have to learn from the Du family in the future. The village chief's grandson Wang Zhiguo and Mr. Guo's second son, didn't they just see the Du family's children in high school, so they went to study with them? Don't they all take the exam now?

They have gone to college. Even Ermao and Dawa studied with Mr. Li and the others for two months, and they were all admitted to technical secondary schools.

However, unlike many villagers who are jealous of the prosperity of the Du family, the village chief and Mr. Guo are very grateful to the Du family. According to their own children, without the information that Ya'er compiled for them, they would not have been able to enter college.

It’s really a bit confusing.[

After dinner that day, the village chief and Mr. Guo came together again. They both had something on their minds and wanted to discuss it with Grandpa Li and Grandpa Du before making up their minds.

"Brother Li, Brother Du, the children are promising and have been admitted to college. You think we should hold a banquet and invite some relatives and friends, it would be lively. Our village has never had a college student, this good guy

, about ten of them came out at once." The village chief sat on the kang and said straight to the point.

"Why didn't you win? I was just thinking about this. Didn't you see that there is a big fat pig in the pig pen in the backyard? This pig was specially prepared for this. Hey, otherwise, our family would

We can do it together and save money during the Chinese New Year.

"Trouble. There are only sixty or seventy households in Qinghe Bay, and we are all related by relatives. Let's invite them all. My pig in the backyard is the main dish." Grandpa Du agreed happily. He was just worried about hosting a banquet by himself, and the villagers

Will he say mean words?

"Uncle Du, I think you have this idea." Boss Guo slapped his thigh and nodded repeatedly.

"Let's do it together as a family. It's fun and saves trouble. In the past few days, I've taken a few boys to the back mountains to make more trips to trap some pheasants and wild rabbits. It would be even better if I could hunt a wild boar."

"Okay, let's do it like this. I spent my own money to catch dozens of big fish from the ponds in the village. The chickens, fish, and meat will be all ready, and the banquet will be very good." The village chief said.

I also think Grandpa Du’s idea is a good one.

"Then when should we do it? It's almost the Chinese New Year." Grandpa Du has an impatient temper and always likes to do things sooner rather than later.

Li Qingyuan looked at Grandpa Du and Boss Guo who wanted to sharpen their knives and kill pigs and sheep immediately, and couldn't help but persuade them: "If you ask me, this matter should be postponed to the end of the year. Now that the results are out, but the registration application is

The form hasn't been filled out yet. If we don't get the admission notice, the children will feel uneasy."

When Grandpa Du and the village chief thought about what Li Qingyuan said, they both felt that it made sense. If we do it now, those who don't have children studying at home may feel jealous.

"Then we'll wait until after the New Year when all the children get their admission notices. I'll go discuss it with Dawa and Ermao's family soon. I guess they will definitely agree." The village chief replied, still feeling emotional in his heart.

Cultural people think thoughtfully.

The big fat pig in the Du family's backyard, which had escaped disaster for the time being, still ate and slept. However, the Haoyu brothers, who were running around mysteriously all day long, rarely got home.

What are you busy with? It wasn't until the first night of filling out the application form that the Haoyu brothers all went home for dinner.

"I will fill out my application tomorrow. Have you decided which school to apply for? Your uncle is planning to apply for a university in our province. He has even considered his major." Li Qingyuan asked.

"That's it, which school are you going to go to? It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry. You will sign up tomorrow. What do you think?" Grandpa Du couldn't help it. Although he didn't want to interfere with the children's choices

, but still wanted to check for them.

The brothers who were eating smacked their lips and said, "We are all going to apply for universities in the capital. We have called Brother Zhai in the past few days. Brother Zhai said that there are many universities in the capital, and that is his territory. If anything happens, he will

It can also protect us."

"Oh, is this what the boy from the Zhai family told you?" Li Qingyuan was a little puzzled. The last sentence didn't quite fit his style.

"Well, that's what Brother Zhai said. He also said that if we enroll in a local university, then if you want to visit us in the future, you don't have to run around here and there. We think what Brother Zhai said is right.

Besides, Ya'er is not going to study medicine with Uncle Zhang after the new year. We have applied for a university in the capital, and then we can often visit my sister."

Although Li Qingyuan thinks this sounds a bit strange, it makes sense. In the capital, the Zhai family can definitely be said to be a powerful family. With their care, they can help arrange a good deal for the brothers after they graduate.

What's more, I have a few old friends in the capital who can help. Moreover, Zhang Zeyuan has now established a foothold in the capital. Thinking about it, applying to a university in the capital is not a bad choice.

"Okay, you just have a plan in mind. As for what major to sign up for, it depends on your own interests." Grandpa Li and Grandpa Du saw that the young men had already made plans, so they stopped worrying. The young eagle has grown up.

Now, let them fly on their own.

The next day, these young eagles who were released filled out the volunteer forms with great ambition. From now on, they will be greeted by a new and bright future.

By the time Haoyu and the others finished filling in their applications, the New Year arrived in a blink of an eye. However, this year's New Year was filled with more joy and expectations than the bustle of previous years.

The eldest aunt of the Du family and the younger aunt of the Du family felt proud and grateful when they looked at their tall and handsome sons. These brats in their family have been relying on their parents' family for the past few years. From the time they started studying until they were admitted to college.

, these two mothers didn’t worry about it at all, and it was a credit to their eldest brother and sister-in-law that they didn’t dislike them.

"Hey, you guys come here quickly and send out the New Year's money. You will be college students soon, and this is the last year that I will give you the New Year's money." The two aunts of the Du family waved to their nephews.

When Xiao Xiaojiang and Xiao Xiaohai, two fat boys, heard that their mother wanted to give out lucky money, they also stretched out their chubby little hands. However, when they saw their mother stuffing red envelopes into the hands of their elder brothers and sister Ya'er, they

They didn't, and the little eye circles suddenly turned red. The little mouth was puckered, and she wanted to cry but was embarrassed to do so. Sister Ya'er said that she didn't like children who love to cry.

Seeing this, the Haoyu brothers deliberately opened the red envelope and threw the brand-new bills inside, making the two fat boys burst into tears.

The eldest aunt and the younger sister-in-law, the two mothers of the Du family, didn't feel bad at all and just watched the jokes. However, the mother didn't feel bad, but Ya'er, the sister, felt bad, "Little men, let's

Don't cry. Let's go next door and destroy their lair. Sister Ya'er knows where they put their red envelopes."

When the Haoyu brothers saw their precious sister raiding their home, they didn't stop them. They were soon to be college students. They had to keep their promise and buy delicious food for their sister every day. The New Year's money would be regarded as interest paid in advance.

However, the thickness of the notes in this hand was a little different from usual, and the Haoyu brothers finally discovered it belatedly.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, you have made a lot of money this year. It has increased several times compared to before."

"Most of this was given to you by Xiao Hai (Xiao Jiang) and his grandmother." The aunt and sister-in-law of the Du family spoke at the same time. After speaking, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, obviously understanding what they were going through.

Since the brothers Da and Xiao Jiang were admitted to college, Aunt Du's mother-in-law has changed her habit of not visiting Da Jiang's house for half a year, and runs to Da Jiang's house every two days. Today she helps clean up the yard, and tomorrow she helps take care of the children.

The old lady also hopes that her two grandsons will take her to the city to enjoy happiness in the future. The old lady also knows that her grandsons are close to their grandfather's family, so she is busy building a good relationship with them.

Different from the situation encountered by Aunt Du's family, both the elder brother and Xiao Hai were admitted to college. Aunt Du's mother-in-law is usually very stingy, but she is rarely generous to the Du family. This old lady's little calculation

Bang bang, her two grandsons have never spent a penny of the family's money since they started going to school. The tuition fees were all paid by the grandson's grandfather. The tuition fees in the past few years are not a small amount.

However, no matter what the two old ladies thought in their hearts, brothers Haoyu and Wenhao got the benefit of the money anyway. If their elders were willing to give it, they would happily accept it.

After the New Year, compared to the big fat pig in the backyard who was still eating and sleeping leisurely, the atmosphere in the Du family became obviously tense. Father Du had nothing to do and ran to the commune post office three times a day. How could he return the admission notices of these naughty children?

Not yet. The notices for Er Shuan and the others were delivered to them the day before yesterday.

Just as the village chief and the others saw that the time for children to register was getting closer and closer, and they were discussing whether to treat guests first, just when Grandpa Du almost suspected that the names on the list he saw were the same names.

When Dad almost lost weight in his legs, the army green bicycle he had never dreamed of seeing parked at the entrance of the village branch.

"Comrade, please help confirm whether these names are from your village." Postman Zhou Dakui handed nine envelopes of letters containing admission notices to the village chief. When he came to deliver the letter a few days ago, it was this comrade who received the letter.

of.

The village chief took the letter and checked it one by one, "Comrade, that's right, this time it's all from Qinghewan."

After receiving the letter of approval, Zhou Dakui was really not calm, "Comrade, your village is really a treasure land of Phoenix. Did you know that our entire Hongqi Commune has a total of more than a dozen college students this time, and most of them are from your Qinghewan

of."

When the village chief heard what Zhou Dakui said, he felt very beautiful in his heart. As a village chief, his face looked bright. Moreover, one of these college students was his grandson.

When he thought of this, the village chief couldn't help but want to show off again, "Comrade, let me tell you something. The nine notices you sent over today are all from one family."

After saying that, he saw Zhou Dakui's surprised expression as he wished, and the village chief smiled unkindly.
