Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Wang Menglin knew it would be like this. But still felt quite disappointed inside.

In her heart, she considered them as her real parents, not just in-laws.

”Mom, we are worried about you.”

”It’s alright, your dad and I, we’ll be fine for the next twenty years. Look, aren’t all the elderly in our village like this?”

After the quilt was done, the mother and daughter cooked together.

”Why haven’t the Red Army and the others returned? Aren’t they just checking the results?”

Qu Xiaoli never dared to say anything. She originally wanted her daughter-in-law to go and see the results, but she was unwilling.

She could tell that her daughter-in-law was clinging to her. The daughter-in-law treated her like a real mother, and she treated her daughter-in-law like her own daughter.

The Red Army and the other four simply couldn’t leave, surrounded by the teachers. The Red Army’s results made him the city’s science top scorer. Changhe scored 429 points, Cheng Lin 426 points, Hongling 425 points, Wang Menglin 418 points. All within the city’s top ten.

This was a source of pride, the principal held a heart-to-heart talk with the four of them. He knew the schools they applied to, they certainly would be admitted.

”You five just wait for the admission notice, you’ll definitely get in.” The cutoff scores are out now. Economic University needs 370 points, Medical University 380, Transportation University 375, and the local military school also requires 370 points.

So none of them have any suspense at all.

You see, only the five of them scored over 400 points. The sixth scored only 380.

Thus, the top five are from our county, with four of them being educated youths. Only one is a local candidate.

”How did you five study?” The veteran principal was very curious.

Among the four brothers, the Red Army stood as the representative. ”Principal, we never gave up on studying, Li Hongling and I are biological brothers, and my older sister-in-law is educated youth too. We studied during the winter break.”

The veteran principal nodded, ”Indeed, opportunities always favor those who are prepared.”

At this moment, cries of men and women can be heard outside.

The veteran principal sighed, he could empathize with them, as these test takers pinned all their hopes on this exam. But the worst five subjects scored less than 100 altogether.

That’s the gap, without preparation, hoping to turn the tide in such a short time is impossible.

”Alright, I won’t hold you any longer, your family must be waiting for your news.”

Although the four hadn’t attended high school here, they respected the school.

The four brothers walked out of the office. Their faces still showing no emotion.

Seeing so many people outside, they detoured the other way.

Quickly heading toward the transportation team, where the car was parked, and they needed to call Teacher Jiang and the Tao Family.

Only upon reaching the deserted street did Cheng Lin and Hongling jump up and cheer.

The Red Army and Changhe watched the two younger brothers with smiles on their faces.

So many years of hard work had finally been acknowledged today.

Yes, these scores were an evaluation of their performance.

”Second Brother, Third Brother, we’ve made it, we’ve made it. I want to call Teacher Jiang, haha, I’ve made it too.”

Finally, the four started running, not knowing how to vent the excitement in their hearts.

They ran all the way back to the transportation team, where Jin Erlin came out to greet them. Seeing the expressions of the four young men, he knew they succeeded.

He laughed heartily, as if it were his own sons who got admitted.

”Haha, congratulations to my nephews. That’s great.”

”Thank you, Uncle Jin.”

”Haha. You’ve got a promising future, it’s great, every hardship has not been in vain.” He knew these kids started classes at seven in the morning during the slack season, so their outstanding results are what they deserved.

”How many points did you score?”

”Uncle Jin, my third brother is the science top scorer, he scored 438 points,” Cheng Lin said smiling.

Jin Erlin patted the Red Army’s shoulder, ”Red Army, well done. Really brings honor to your dad. What about the other three?”

”My second brother scored 429 points, Hongling 425, I scored 426 points, my older sister-in-law 418 points.”

”Hahaha, this is wonderful. Truly wonderful.” Jin Erlin was so excited he didn’t know what to say. He knows the total score is 500 points. With all above 400 points, it’s impossible to not get in. Moreover, their backgrounds are favorable, they are now university students for sure.

”Uncle Jin, we need to make some calls.”

”Go ahead, quickly.”

”Red Army, call my uncle first, then Sister-in-law’s family, we are waiting for Feifei’s results,” Changhe said smiling.

”Alright, I’ll call my dad first.”

Li Yunqiao already knew his two sons’ scores because he had a meeting in the morning and sent Secretary Wu to check the results for the five of them.

Secretary Wu found all five easily, mainly because the top ten had a separate honor roll.

Oh dear, the top five were exactly the five scores he was asked to check.

When he returned, Vice Mayor Li was still in a meeting, Secretary Wu was so excited he walked straight in and reported the five scores to Li Yunqiao.

Everyone saw the leader in the meeting lose his composure. He stood up excitedly, turned sideways a few times, utterly bewildered as to what to do.

Everyone looked curiously at Secretary Wu. They saw the usually composed Secretary Wu with his mouth grinning wide. This made everyone even more curious.

Li Yunqiao was so excited he couldn’t continue the meeting. ”Sorry, please continue, I need to leave. Secretary Wu, record the notes.”

A senior leader chuckled, ”Yunqiao, are your children’s results out?”

Li Yunqiao nodded excitedly, ”Yes, they’re out. Five of my family’s candidates ranked in the top five in our city.”

Everyone in the meeting room looked at Li Yunqiao in shock. Top five in the city?

”How many points? The city top scorer is from your family too?”

”Yes, my third son scored 439 points.”

”Congratulations to Yunqiao,” the senior leader said with a smile.

The entire meeting room congratulated Li Yunqiao. In their hearts, they sighed, these are other people’s children.

Everyone here knows that Li Yunqiao’s three children are educated youths and all had gone to his hometown to become educated youths.

”Thank you all, I am too excited now, I apologize for leaving first.”

The senior leader smiled and nodded, ”Go ahead, this indeed is something to be excited about.”

Li Yunqiao laughed and left the meeting room, everyone saw that his steps were somewhat unsteady. They could all understand; who wouldn’t be excited about such a proud event?

Back in the office, he couldn’t sit still, pacing around the room. He knew his sons studied well, but he hadn’t expected them to achieve such good scores?
