Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

The news that Sun Zhengguo was admitted to university spread throughout the compound in an instant. As to the authenticity of the news, according to people familiar with the matter, it was his younger brother who accidentally let it slip and everyone knew about it. The source is very reliable.

The whole compound was in an uproar. This was the first college student in the compound, a historic first. From now on, when outsiders talk about Courtyard No. 95, people would say.

"I know this hospital. There's a college student in that hospital!"

Listen, how honorable this is!

So, the neighbors in the compound spread the news from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Before long, all the people in the surrounding courtyards knew about it, and finally, the news even reached the steel mill.

In the Women's Federation office of the steel rolling mill, Sister Wu walked in hurriedly from outside and spoke with a gossipy look on her face.

"Sisters! Big news, big news!"

When the people nearby heard this, they all stopped and the clerk Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"Sister Wu, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what the big news is."

"Yes! Sister Wu, please tell me quickly."

Seeing that everyone was urging her, and seeing that Sister Wu was not one to keep secrets, she immediately revealed the news she had obtained.

"Do you know? Director Lin of our Women's Federation, her son!..."

When Sister Wu said this, she suddenly stopped the car, and several colleagues were unhappy.

"What happened to Director Lin's son? Tell me quickly! You're making me anxious."

"Sister Wu, you are not the one who can keep half and half."

I have to say that Sister Wu is really good at keeping people in suspense.

"I'm thirsty. Let me have some tea first."

Xiao Chen, who was standing next to her, was very considerate and refilled Sister Wu's glass of water.

Sister Wu picked up the cup and took a sip. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost lively, she spoke leisurely.

"Do you know? Director Lin's son was admitted to university. It is said that he scored full marks and ranked first in the city."

I have to say that the power of rumor is quite strong. When it reached Sister Wu, it got full marks. I wonder if it will spread out of the universe if it continues to spread.

"Wow!"

"How did Director Lin teach his son? Why can't my daughter do the same?"

"Don't be envious. Some things are innate and cannot be envied."

"Yes, yes, yes. There is a child in our courtyard who comes home every day and just plays. But his grades are really good. There is nothing we can do about it. He is born that way..."

Seeing everyone talking about it, Xiao Chen next to him quietly went to the deputy director's office to tell Lin Wencui the good news.

By the time the sisters discovered that Xiao Chen was missing, they thought it was too late and started complaining, "Xiao Chen is a flatterer!" But why didn't they think of it?

In the electrician department, Sun Dajiang had just returned from the workshop and had not had time to change his work clothes when a loud voice was heard at the door.

"Old Sun, you've done a great job on your intelligence work! I haven't heard you mention it, don't you want to treat us?"

Seeing the loud-mouthed Director Nie coming, Sun Dajiang was completely confused and had no idea what to do.

"A treat? Who wants to treat? Why should I treat?"

Sun Dajiang asked three questions in a row, indicating that he really didn't know?

"Old Sun, you are no longer interesting. The whole steel mill knows about it, and you are still pretending. And you are pretending very well."

Seeing that Director Nie was serious and didn't seem to be joking, Sun Dajiang asked in confusion.

"Hey! Director Nie! I just came back from the workshop and I haven't even changed my clothes yet, and you came over. What's the matter? You have to tell me, otherwise, how would I know."

After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, he stood up and started to make tea. Director Nie, who was standing next to him, saw that Sun Dajiang looked very confident and probably thought that he really didn't know.

After Sun Dajiang finished making the tea, Director Nie took the cup, took a sip, and then began to preach.

"Your son got into college with full marks, didn't you know?"

"So that's what happened. My son just went to school this morning, and I was at work the whole time. How could I have known about this? I don't know who told you this, but you said you got a perfect score. Is it that easy to get a perfect score?"

"Then it's probably true. If this didn't come from your family, who would know?"

After Director Nie's analysis, Sun Dajiang probably did get into university, but with full marks? That's not certain.

"Okay, if it's true, Director Nie will definitely be included in the treat."

Then the two chatted for a while about their children's schooling, but Sun Dajiang was absent-minded the whole time. Seeing this, Director Nie, who was very insightful, hurriedly finished his tea and said goodbye.

After seeing Director Nie off, Sun Dajiang, who had just calmed down, had another guest come to his house. Chief Wang from the Personnel Department came, and Sun Dajiang could not favor one over the other.

He welcomed Section Chief Wang in, made him some good tea, and after a round of greetings, he was promised that Section Chief Wang would be present at the dinner, and was given a small bag of tea. Only then did Section Chief Wang leave with satisfaction.

Sun Dajiang was busy the whole afternoon. People kept coming to visit him. It was not until the end of the get off work day that things quieted down.

All in all, Sun Dajiang and his wife became famous in the factory again. The last time they became famous was because they passed the eighth-level electrician exam, and this time they gave birth to a good son.

In the evening, Sun Dajiang and his wife, along with their two followers, Sun Zhengdong and Lin Jiguo, returned to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the gate of the courtyard, they received congratulations one after another. The couple also responded enthusiastically. Sun Dajiang promised that as long as he received the admission letter, he would hold a banquet to celebrate. Only then did the neighbors disperse with satisfaction.

"Mom and Dad, Brother Zhengdong, Brother Jiguo, you are back. I have good news to tell you. My brother was admitted to university!"

Before they even entered the door, Sun Zhengan came out to announce the good news.

"We know. Where's your brother?"

Lin Wencui didn't see her eldest son, so she asked from the side.

"Brother is busy in the kitchen. He said we'll celebrate together in the evening when everyone comes back."

"I was wondering why it smells so good. I'll go help."

After Lin Wencui finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

In the evening, sitting at the square table, seven people raised their wine glasses and shouted loudly.

"cheers!"

Several people drank it all in one gulp. Sun Dajiang took a bite of the food, suppressed the influence of the alcohol, and said to his daughter beside him.

"Girl, fill up Daddy's cup."

Sun Dajiang was very happy tonight, and Lin Wencui did not spoil his fun and let him drink.

Sun Dajiang drank and talked to his son, and when he talked about something happy, he couldn't help dancing.

Sun Dajiang is drunk? He is happily drunk!

It was late at night, and the brothers were still awake, chatting quietly on their beds.

Many people in the courtyard couldn't sleep either, and were also chatting on their beds.

There were all kinds of different opinions, until my eyelids could no longer hold on,...
