As the morning sun rises, the golden sunshine tears apart the sky and spreads warmth over the valley.
In the long and narrow valley, a quaint small town stands.
At this time, on the small town street that was more than one foot wide, crowds of people were rubbing shoulders and filling every corner.
Everyone had expectations on their faces, looking at the notice board covered by a piece of red cloth on the high platform in front of them.
"Hey, it's about to open, it's about to open!"
The crowd was crowded for a long time. Finally, an old man stepped onto the high platform and slowly opened the red cloth under the expectant eyes of everyone.
Wow...
The moment the red cloth was taken away, the crowd below immediately started a commotion.
"Hahaha, great! My son passed the Qingbei Yuanqi Academy!"
A bald man who was crowded at the front of the queue suddenly caught a glimpse of the name at the top of the list and shouted happily in the crowd.
"Oh! That's awesome, Lao Huang, that's the tenth ranked Yuanqi Academy in Yancheng!"
"As expected of our town's chief genius, Lao Huang, as he prospers in the future, he must not forget about us neighbors..."
"How should we talk? Are we, Mr. Huang, that kind of person?"
Hearing Lao Huang's cry, people around him came forward to express their congratulations, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to curry favor with Lao Huang immediately.
"It's easy to say. I'll invite you to a banquet another day. You all should come and show your face..."
The praises that came one after another were obviously flattering, but they still made Lao Huang's back straight.
Father is more valuable than son. He usually works as a handyman, but now he has become the most eye-catching presence among the crowd by virtue of his son's aura of winning the ranking.
"Hey, my daughter is also on the list! Xinwu Yuanqiyuan! She is indeed my daughter, Hu Hansan..."
"My kid also passed the exam, hehe..."
After Lao Huang shouted, some other middle-aged people also spoke out happily.
Although my own child's test score was much worse than that of Lao Huang's son, he still managed to get admitted to the Genki Academy.
For the people of these remote Qingyun Town, entering a Yuanqi Yuan in a big city means changing the fate of their family.
Not to mention good food and clothing, at least it is not a problem to live a life dozens of times better than today.
Of course, there were also some parents who saw their children failing the exam, rolled up their sleeves and left the crowd with livid faces, obviously going home to carry out caring education for their children.
"Let it go...hey...please let it go..."
At the same time, at the outermost edge of the crowd.
A middle-aged man with a beard on his face was pulling a huge "meat ball" and kept pushing towards the front of the crowd.
"Grandma, you don't have eyes? You're stepping on me!"
"That's right, why are you squeezing? Oh my god, my old waist..."
The crowd was already extremely crowded, and Meatball's three-foot-long body was squeezed in. People on both sides felt like they were about to spit out their breakfast, and they started yelling curses.
If you look closely, you can see that what the middle-aged man is holding is a meat ball, which is a bit exaggerated. It is just a fat little man who is too fat.
The little fat man looks to be in his early fifteens or sixteens, and his complexion is fairly fair. As for his facial features...
He has small eyes, a big mouth, and a thick nose. He is a little bit worse than ordinary people, and his height is about half a head shorter than his peers.
In short, it is impossible to rely on face to make a living in this life.
At this moment, the fat man Lin Xiaotian, who was being pushed forward by his father Lin Xuan, had endless sadness on his face.
To be honest, he had already made up his mind about this assessment and did not want to see the announced results at all.
But I couldn't withstand my father's coercion. If I moved a little slower, I would have to eat a few more "loving" feet on my butt.
In desperation, I had to follow reluctantly.
The crowd is very crowded, but fortunately the road always ends.
Not long after, Lin Xuan, who had a stubble on his face, worked hard and finally pulled the bloated Lin Xiaotian to the front of the crowd.
"Hey, Lin Xuan, why don't you come with your fat son to see the assessment results?"
As soon as the father and son emerged from the crowd, Lin Xuan heard someone calling him next to him. When he looked sideways, he saw that it was Huang Er who was working as a handyman in the town with him.
At this time, Huang Er was surrounded by a group of people and looked very happy.
"Huang Er, haven't you been here a long time ago? Why, you haven't seen your son's assessment results yet?"
Seeing this, Lin Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Oh, don't mention it. My unsatisfactory brat ended up in Qingbei Yuanqiyuan. I'm really ashamed."
When he said this, Huang Er deliberately shook his head and looked like he was sighing.
But anyone can see his unabashedly proud smile beneath his pretense of modesty.
As soon as he said this, many people around him showed subtle expressions.
The two of them were both handymen in the town. When doing odd jobs in the town, Lin Xuan often took on a lot of dirty and heavy work that Huang Er didn't want to do, and he had a very good reputation.
This made Huang Er, who insisted that if he didn't do it, others couldn't do it, felt very unhappy, so he would find trouble with Lin Xuan from time to time, but unfortunately, Lin Xuan easily resolved it every time.
And now, his son Huang Daqiang has been admitted to the Qingbei Yuanqi Academy, which is ranked tenth in Yancheng, and he naturally wants to take advantage of Lin Xuan.
"Yeah, that's okay. Congratulations."
However, no one expected that Lin Xuan just said congratulations flatly, without much surprise in his tone.
"this……"
"I entered the Qingbei Yuanqi Academy, which is the tenth in Yancheng, at the age of sixteen. Is that okay?"
"This old Lin, who is usually honest and honest, has started to talk nonsense."
"I'm jealous. Although he has a bad relationship with Lao Huang, it's time to recognize the reality. Lao Huang's family is no longer what it used to be."
…
Everyone was talking a lot, feeling that Lin Xuan was just trying to show off his strength and did not want to admit that Lao Huang's son had potential.
Similarly, Huang Er was dumbfounded when he heard Lin Xuan's plain tone.
He refused to leave just because he wanted to see his usual rival gnashing his teeth in jealousy.
But he never expected that Lin Xuan would act so indifferently, which completely disappointed his fantasy.
For a moment, he felt as if he punched hard but hit the cotton.
"What the hell, let alone my unsatisfactory boy, I don't know which Yuanqi Academy your fat boy has been admitted to?"
However, he was not willing to let it go. His vanity was not satisfied by Lin Xuan, so he turned to Lin Xiaotian behind Lin Xuan.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's face turned pale and he lowered his head angrily.
"Hmph, there's no need to worry about it. My son, Lin Xuan, won't be any worse."
Sensing the provocation in Huang Er's words, Lin Xuan's tone began to turn cold.
"Hey, that's your Lin Xuan's son..."
Seeing Lin Xuan taking the bait, Huang Er bared his yellow teeth and smiled in a sinister manner.
Lin Xuannong frowned, then stopped paying attention to the other party, and turned to look at the list on the public notice list.
From top to bottom…
Huang Daqiang: Grade A qualification, Qingbei Yuanqi Academy.
Hu Chunhua: Grade B qualification, Xinwu Yuanqi Academy.
