"Third Brother, congratulations..."
Zhao Tianhe was genuinely happy; Third Brother and sister-in-law would go to college together, finally getting to see the world outside.
"Third Brother, it would be great if I could also go to the Capital City when you’re there."
Zhao Tianlei gazed into the distance, his voice carrying far, "When I’m in the Capital City, you can come too."
That was the Capital City.
I will definitely visit the Capital City.
"Mom, Mom..." Da Bao and Xiao Bao, along with several other kids who heard Yun Xiaoxiao had been admitted to the top university, ran back to consult.
"Mom, the top scholar, the top scholar..."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the kids, "Yes, mom is the top scholar."
Xiao Bao turned to the other kids who had come with them and said, "My mom really is the top scholar."
Meanwhile, Captain Zhao had taken the town and county leaders around the team, and seeing that it was getting late, the team leader suggested they stay for a meal.
The leaders declined.
After seeing them off, Captain Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead before he got busy with the autumn harvest work.
Those who came back for lunch congratulated Yun Xiaoxiao when they saw her.
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him, "Tomorrow we’ll split up. Lend me the bike."
After hosting guests tomorrow, they would leave Zhao Family Village Team the day after.
"Da Li, Xiao He, tomorrow come with me to the mountains."
Cao Dali had no problems.
Zhao Tianhe likewise had no issues.
"Third Brother, congratulations..."
The couple split up to take action.
When Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t seen in the team cafeteria, they asked Mrs. Zhao and learned she had gone to the town.
"Xiangzi’s mother, when are they going to college?"
"Aren’t they throwing a celebration for the university admission?"
"Right now it’s the harvest season, Laosan’s Wife should go to the town to buy some stuff to celebrate."
Laosan’s Wife is indeed generous.
"School is starting soon; they should probably head to campus as quickly as possible."
"What about Da Bao and Xiao Bao?"
"They should be staying behind."
"I’ve heard that the university provides subsidies, and after the harvest, once we’ve paid our grain taxes, there will be enough food distribution to feed Da Bao and Xiao Bao."
"Yes, the two kids won’t eat much."
Yun Xiaoxiao came to town just to make a round, planning to buy some candy and meat, which should be more than enough.
What kind of candy should I buy?
Go to the Cooperative and have a look.
At the town Cooperative, there weren’t many people, possibly because everyone was busy with the harvest, so no members came to town to shop.
"Do you have any candy that doesn’t require coupons? I want to buy some."
"These few kinds don’t need coupons..."
Yun Xiaoxiao bought five pounds of candy in one go and left the Cooperative.
She also purchased some candy online.
Five pounds of Swiss candy, ten pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, five pounds of colorful pocket candies.
A hundred rainbow lollipops.
Only then did she make another round and, seeing it was getting late, rode the bike back to the team.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao..."
Da Bao and Xiao Bao had been picking up rice ears wearing straw hats these past few days, indeed afraid of getting tanned and not being taken to the city by mom and dad.
The two kids stopped picking up ears of rice and hurriedly followed their mom.
"Mom, I bought a lot of candy. I plan to distribute a few pieces to each member coming for lunch..."
"That’s fine..." Mrs. Zhao had no objections.
But when she saw Yun Xiaoxiao place her basket down and bring in the candy, she was dumbstruck by the amount.
The other aunts also craned their necks to see.
