"Gu Shichu! Gu Shichu! There's a letter for you!"
The postman entered Zhoujia Village and started shouting loudly.
"Who is Gu Shichu? Here is your letter! It was sent from the capital..."
The postman looked around, and other villagers gathered around him.
"The girl from the Gu family has relatives in Beijing? Why haven't I heard her mention it before?" an aunt said puzzledly.
Gu Shichu had never received any letters because she had no relatives or friends outside of town, so the postman didn't know her.
"Auntie, where is Gu Shichu's home? Can you take me there?" the postman asked the aunt who had just spoken.
The auntie immediately patted her chest and said, "Of course, her house is at the end of the village, come with me!"
After saying that, he really took the postman to Gu Shichu's house.
Gu Shichu happened to be in the yard tidying up Zhang Weihong's small vegetable garden.
"Gu family girl! There's a letter for you! Open the door quickly!" the auntie shouted while knocking on the gate.
Zhang Weihong's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran to the door and said to Gu Shichu, "It must be your admission letter that has arrived!"
She opened the door and saw the letter in the postman's hand at a glance. Before the postman could speak, she snatched it away and ran to Gu Shichu:
"Open it and take a look!"
Gu Shichu took the letter, opened it and saw that it was indeed an admission letter from Jinghua University, informing her that she had been admitted to Jinghua University and asking her to report on a certain date in a certain year, etc.
"Is it an admission letter?" Zhang Weihong asked her nervously.
Gu Shichu nodded and handed her the admission letter. Zhang Weihong took it and looked at it. She jumped up with joy: "You really got admitted to Jinghua University! That's great!"
When the postman heard what they said, he couldn't help but say happily, "So it's the admission letter from the university? Comrade Gu Shichu, this is a great event. Congratulations."
"Thank you, come in and have a glass of water!" Gu Shichu said with a smile.
The postman came in, and the other villagers who had come to watch the fun were shocked to hear that Gu Shichu had been admitted to university. They followed him in and asked whether this was true.
"The admission letter has arrived, how could it be fake?" When the postman heard their doubts, he couldn't help but speak up to help Gu Shichu explain.
"We couldn't have imagined this, right? We've never heard that the girl from the Gu family is so good at studying before." The aunt who asked the question said embarrassedly.
"Yes, yes, isn't this too unexpected for us? We are so surprised. After all, this is the first person in our village to receive a college admission letter." said another villager.
"What's so surprising about this? Shichu is very smart and studies hard. Isn't it normal for him to be admitted to university?" Zhang Weihong spoke well of Gu Shichu without hesitation.
"Yes, yes, I have long felt that she is smart and capable. A young girl can support a family!" Li Ersao, who had secretly cursed Gu Shichu in the past for being unlucky and saying that she was unlucky all the time, now no longer thinks Gu Shichu is unlucky. Instead, she praises her with a smile.
"Yes, yes! I also think that this girl Shichu has been better than ordinary people since she was a child! She earned more centimeters than others when she was working! And now she did better than others in the university entrance examination! I was right about her!" Another lady who often gossiped about Gu Shichu with others, saying that her ambitions were high as the sky but her life was cheap as grass, said amiably at this time.
"Gu girl, when you become successful in the future, don't forget us fellow villagers..." Someone became interested.
"Yes, yes, what's that saying? No matter how rich and powerful a dog is, don't forget each other..." someone else echoed.
"What's the matter with dog or not? The saying is: If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your friends! If you are uneducated, don't embarrass yourself." Another person reminded.
Ever since Gu Shichu received the notice, she has been listening to a lot of praise and flattery from everyone. She has never felt such enthusiasm from the villagers of Zhoujia Village before.
No wonder the ancients said, "If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you; if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives." Before Gu Shichu became rich, these people began to get closer to her in overt and covert ways, wishing to take advantage of her immediately.
There is no trace of the pouting and rolling eyes they had shown in the past when they disliked Gu Shichu for being unlucky in everything to his parents.
Perhaps they understood that from the moment Gu Shichu received the university admission letter, his fate had changed from theirs.
From now on, she will completely rewrite her own destiny, while they will still be peasants digging in the fields for their living all their lives.
When the educated youth learned that Gu Shichu was the first to receive a university admission letter, they all came to inquire about the news. Although they were extremely envious of Gu Shichu, it was not the end yet and they still had hope, so they were all anxiously waiting for their own letter.
Not long after, someone else received an admission letter. Zhang Weihong also received one. She ran over and hugged Gu Shichu and cried, thanking Gu Shichu for always encouraging her and telling her not to give up.
Zhang Weihong did not apply to a university in Beijing, but instead to the city where her family lived, because she did not want to be separated from her parents again.
As expected, she was admitted to the best university in her city. She got what she wanted and was extremely happy.
"I will be separated from you in the future, and I really can't bear to leave you." Zhang Wei said to Gu Shichu with red eyes.
"You can write to me, and you can also come to Beijing to visit me during holidays." Gu Shichu comforted her.
"This is the only way." Zhang Weihong said reluctantly. She had been able to live a good life in this village in the past few years because of Gu Shichu's occasional help and comfort. She had already developed a precious revolutionary friendship with Gu Shichu, so she really didn't want to part with her.
Gu Shichu could only pat her on the back. No matter how sad she was, it would eventually heal with the comfort of time.
When people learned that Gu Shichu was admitted to university, the person who was most shocked was Li Danyang.
When Li Danyang learned that Gu Shichu was admitted to the university, he became distracted and asked in a daze:
"How could Gu Shichu possibly get into university? She never took the exam! There's no way she could get into university..."
She began to doubt whether her memory was wrong. How could Gu Shichu go to college? She had been in Zhoujia Village in her previous life and had never taken the college entrance examination!
Why is this life different? Oh, yes! Yes! Isn't the only difference in this life that I snatched her marriage and married Zhou Weiguo instead of her
But why did just this one thing cause Gu Shichu to change so much
How could she go to college? How did she get in? This shouldn't be right? She was robbed of her promising husband and stepchildren, so she should be like me in my previous life, lonely and poor all my life. How could she get in
Li Danyang was very frightened. Why was everything different from what he had imagined
