Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Who Doesn’t Envy_1
 

On their way, Old Zhao shared the good news with everyone they met.

They reached the post office, took out a phone number, and asked the clerk to dial it.

The call was answered quickly, “I’m looking for Yun Hao.”

“The camp leader, Yun, is on a mission and hasn’t returned yet. If you have any messages, I can pass them on for you.”

Old Zhao said excitedly, “You can tell him that his wife Meng Yunhan has been admitted to Kyoto University, she got into Kyoto University.”

Old Zhao repeated it twice, fearing that the other party hasn’t heard clearly. Upon hearing this, the post office clerks all looked at Old Zhao with eyes of admiration and congratulations.

Because everyone in the town knows each other.

They knew that Old Zhao, who ran the recycling station, had adopted a girl. Many people thought Old Zhao was silly and often said, “Isn’t he aware that once a girl is married, she’s like the water that’s been splashed out?”

But now that they’ve heard his daughter has been admitted to university, who could not feel a pang of envy?

Not everybody can be accepted into Kyoto University after all.

“Old sir, congratulations, congratulations.”

“Congratulations, congratulations.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

This was indeed a great joy. His daughter passing the university entrance examination was a triumphant event worth celebrating.

Old Zhao felt like he was walking on air.

Now, who would dare to call him foolish. Who would dare?

Now, not only does he have a daughter, but also a son-in-law, a grandson, and his daughter got into Kyoto University, the prestigious university.

Old Zhao also went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bottle of liquor. He said to the staff, “My daughter has been accepted into Kyoto University.”

The employees at the cooperative certainly knew Old Zhao. They remembered when Qiu Mei made a good business out of her egg cakes, before she went off to join the army. They tried their hands at making them too, but none could match the taste of hers.

Now, his adopted daughter has also been admitted into Kyoto University.

Why does Old Zhao encounter all the good things in life?

Has his luck turned around?

It was said that his son-in-law was as good as dead. Yet, not long after, he woke up and is now an army officer, and his daughter has been admitted to university.

Has his ancestral grave started emitting green smoke? Has his fortune turned around?

With him gone.

The staff at the cooperative began their discussion.

“Back then, Old Zhao lost his son and soon after his daughter-in-law too, leaving him alone all these years. Now that he is old, he adopted a beautiful and good-natured daughter who has been admitted to university. Why does Old Zhao encounter all the good things in life?”

“Exactly, I believe his daughter-in-law must have sent him a daughter from the afterlife so he doesn’t spend his old age alone.”

The mail carriers delivered the admission notices from village to village. The recipients were overjoyed and shed tears of happiness, jumping with excitement.

But those who didn’t receive the admission notices were utterly disappointed.

Of the dozen or so educated youths in Qingzhao Village, only two were admitted.

Wang Minfang did not get admitted, but her boyfriend Zhang Zhiqing did.

“Comrade, can you tell me if Meng Yunhan got admitted?” Wang Minfang wanted to know whether Meng has been accepted, she failed the exam and surely Meng wouldn’t have done much better.

After getting married, getting pregnant, having a husband who ran into trouble, and being driven out by her mother-in-law, it would be truly strange if she could pass the university entrance exam.

Of course, the mailman knew Meng Yunhan, they lived in the same town, and thanks to Old Zhao, Yunhan had become quite well-known, being one of only two people in their town to be accepted into Kyoto University.
