the postman lived in town. he had heard many rumors about the town mayor’s wife.
sun dongqing was not the only one who came to look for the letter of notification. anyone whose child took part in the high school entrance exam came to ask for the letter. the adults were even more excited than their children.
ye ying wore a flower-printed dress and stood obediently beside sun dongqing. she rarely went out of her house the entire summer vacation so her skin got fairer. she wasn’t as proud as before anymore.
what happened at that time caused a huge commotion in the village. every single villager knew what happened. hence, ye ying didn’t come back for the entire winter vacation. she stayed at the provincial city to study english.
one year had passed. the villagers seldom talked about the event anymore. ye ying kept a low profile so many villagers had forgotten about what happened.
zhang defu took out ye ying’s letter and passed it to sun dongqing. “this is yours.” then, he passed the other four letters out. “these are yours. as for the rest... you all can disperse now.”
zhang defu sniggered in his heart. he replied respectfully, “i was just going to send it to you. ye jian isn’t back yet?”
“she will come back in around 10 days.” grandpa gen took the letter and saw the school name written on it. he smiled.
ye ying glanced at him and called his politely, “grandpa gen.”
“learn well when you go to the provincial no.1 middle school.” grandpa gen didn’t ask her to study well. he asked her to learn well. they sounded the same but the hidden meaning behind it was different. grandpa gen was asking ye ying to learn to be a good person.
grandpa gen disliked the adults but he wouldn’t get angry at a child no matter how bad the child was.
ye ying was a smart person. she understood what grandpa gen meant. she lowered her eyes to hide her angry gaze. she said obediently, “you are right. it took me much effort to get into a good school. i must learn well. if not, i’ll not be able to get into university.”
“my yingying is so thoughtful. uncle gen, how are ye jian’s results? i thought that she must be very good at studying after she got an international award and was the first in class for once. however, as the term went by, i didn’t see her achieving any good results again.”
