Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 54 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction
These past few days, Ji Chaoxi has been visiting relatives with Ji Zhuxin and has received a lot of lucky money.
The snow outside hadn't melted yet, and the postman, riding his old-fashioned bicycle, called out from afar, "Ji Chaoxi, your acceptance letter has arrived!"
All the surrounding villagers poked their heads out. Chen Yiping's had arrived a few days ago, and Ji Chaoxi's had arrived today.
Ji Zhuxin was sitting at the door chatting with someone when she heard this, and she was so startled that she dropped the peanuts she was holding.
She shouted, "Here! Here! This place!"
She stamped her foot impatiently, her face beaming with undisguised joy: "I've been waiting for so long, it's finally here!"
She called into the room, "Wake up! Wake up! Get up and get your acceptance letter!"
Ji Zhuxin quickly ran into the house to pull Ji Chaoxi out of bed. Ji Chaoxi, who was still asleep, was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.
Ji Zhuxin casually draped a coat over her shoulders: "Hurry up, don't keep them waiting."
A large crowd had already gathered outside, all surrounding the postman.
"Ji Chaoxi, right?" The postman smiled when he saw her.
Ji Zhuxin quickly nodded for her: "Yes, yes, yes."
The postman took an envelope out of his green canvas bag; the notice also bore the name of Shanghai International Studies University.
Ji Chaoxi took the admission notice in a daze, still not having reacted.
Ji Zhuxin has already started crying and begging for her grandparents.
"When I went to a fortune teller, they said that a college student would be born into my family."
Everyone around laughed.
"Who did the fortune telling for you, Zhu Xin? I'd like to have mine done too."
"What kind of university is this? Can someone read it to me?"
"Shanghai International Studies University, Zhu Xin's sister is really something! She got into a university in Shanghai, she'll never have to worry again!"
"Shanghai? I've heard that it's a land of gold, with buildings taller than mountains. My uncle has a shirt that I heard was made in Shanghai."
"Xixi is so stylish now, she'll have to learn how foreigners speak from now on."
Ji Zhuxin was extremely smug. She waved her hand and said, "Let me tell you, I specifically asked our leader, and he's a very well-read person."
"He said back then that the bigger the city, the better. When my daughter Xixi was preparing for her exams, she learned English very quickly. When she read those foreign words, it was exactly the same as what was said on the radio. I couldn't tell whether it was her speaking or the radio broadcast."
The surrounding villagers were astonished upon hearing this.
Ji Chaoxi blushed as her sister praised her.
The truth is that Ji Chaoxi just learns English a little faster than other subjects, and then recites a few sentences to Ji Zhuxin's boss, who just says it's not bad.
That leader is from Shanghai and was assigned here. No matter who asks him, he always says that the schools in Shanghai are the best.
Qin Du had just returned from the black market when he saw a large crowd gathered in front of the Ji family's house, and he immediately knew what had happened.
Their eyes met instantly. Ji Chaoxi held up her admission notice to him somewhat shyly, while Ji Zhuxin, standing next to her, stuffed a red envelope into the postman's hand and praised Ji Chaoxi.
Qin Du smiled and held up the meat in his hand.
The admission notices for other educated youth in the village also arrived one after another. Several educated youth failed the exam and cried in the educated youth compound.
"Even those people from the village passed the exam, how could I not?"
The educated youth who failed the exam lay on the table, crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces.
Lin Yitang glanced at him and frowned: "Whether you pass the exam or not has nothing to do with whether you're from the village or not."
She heard that Ji Chaoxi had also passed the exam.
She couldn't help but think of Qin Du again.
After graduation, job placement is guaranteed. Ji Chaoxi can stay in Shanghai and work in foreign trade. With hard work, she can even get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When she sees a bigger world, will she still look down on Qin Du?
Lin Yitang didn't think their relationship would last. As long as Qin Du didn't get into university, the gap between him and Ji Chaoxi would only widen.
Xie Zhiqing thought so too.
Since receiving his acceptance letter, he has been in a state of extreme excitement.
Because he applied to Fudan University, and both he and Ji Chaoxi were in Shanghai!
Seeing the boy still crying, Xie Zhiqing was a little annoyed: "Stop crying. You can take the exam again later. It won't make a difference if you don't take it this time."
He has so many materials, and when he asked to borrow them, the other man refused. He thought the other man had done very well on the exam.
Indeed, the college entrance exam isn't about having more materials; it's about using your brain.
If you're not smart enough, what's the point of reading so much information and so many books?
Six students from Xinniu Village were admitted to universities. To put that into perspective, the entire county only has a few dozen university students, and some villages don't have a single one.
Although four of them were educated youth, they were still registered in Xinniu Village. The usually aloof village chief was overjoyed and immediately held a farewell party in the name of the production team.
This is an honor for the entire village.
The production team produced two pigs, and each household contributed some potatoes or cabbages. The village chief led a group of people to deliver red flowers to each college student's home with gongs and drums.
Those who get into university are all destined to be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Finally, the day of the farewell party arrived. Ji Zhuxin and the village chief's wife dressed in bright red. Ji Zhuxin originally wanted Ji Chaoxi to dress like that too, but Ji Chaoxi refused no matter what.
She looked at the other people who had been admitted to university and thought to herself that it was good she hadn't worn anything; everyone else was dressed similarly to their usual attire, extremely plain.
The whole village came, making it very lively. The village chief stood in the middle and gave a long speech, the gist of which was how the commune had trained these college students in the village.
Several college students sat in a row behind him, facing all the villagers.
"Chaoxi, I've returned to Shanghai after my college entrance exam. My family lives there, so I can take care of you from now on."
Xie Zhiqing deliberately sat next to Ji Chaoxi.
He quietly introduced the food in Shanghai and even spoke a few words in Shanghainese to her, but Ji Chaoxi didn't understand a word and didn't say anything.
The other educated youths nearby all felt that Xie was a disgrace and did not want to sit with him.
Xie Zhiqing was still talking to Ji Chaoxi, gesturing wildly and getting more and more excited: "I'll take you to Huaihai Road to eat pan-fried buns and buy butterfly pastries. The pastry has more than a hundred layers and crumbles when you touch it. You definitely can't get these in Xinniu Village."
Ji Chaoxi didn't listen at all. She looked at the dishes on the table not far away and then at the birds in the sky.
Just as Xie Zhiqing was about to continue speaking, a short, sharp laugh suddenly came from Ji Chaoxi's right.
Xie Zhiqing's face immediately turned red. He glanced at Chen Yiping and thought, "So what if he's the village chief's son? He's still from Xinniu Village."
But Ji Chaoxi's ears finally quieted down.
Chen Yiping leaned against the wall in frustration. He was getting annoyed with how long his father was going to talk.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Ji Chaoxi's hand. He frowned and compared it to his own hand.
How come her hands are so small?
