Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

Chapter 316 Equivalent to Passing the Imperial Examination

After hearing the postman's reminder, Liang Ming finally realized what was happening, and a sheepish smile appeared on his face as he said:

"This is a good rule. I'll send someone to call my sister back right away."

Liang Ming was not angry because the postman wouldn't show him his acceptance letter.

After all, in this day and age, an admission letter is quite valuable.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of the era, many families in rural areas were not as open-minded towards daughters as they are in later generations.

Many rural parents believe that it's useless for their daughters to study a lot, since they will eventually get married anyway.

It would be better to take advantage of these few years before getting married, go out to work, earn more money, and help support the family.

After she marries the man, any money she earns will go to his family.

This is why, in this day and age, many rural parents like to call their daughters "money-losing goods."

That's why, even if some rural girls do very well in school and get into good universities, their parents won't let them go.

Some malicious parents even hide or tear up their daughters' college acceptance letters.

Once the admission period is over, my daughter will have no choice but to either go to work or get married.

In response to this situation, some strict requirements have been introduced, such as requiring postmen to deliver admission notices directly to the candidates and prohibiting anyone else from signing on their behalf.

This is to prevent the admission notice from being torn up by relatives and friends.

Once the admission letter is torn up, it is almost impossible to get a replacement.

"Brother Liang Ming, I've already sent someone to the Xiangmanlou Restaurant in the county town to inform Sister Liang Jing. I believe she'll be back soon!"

At this moment, Ama spoke up, addressing Liang Ming.

Hearing that Ama had already arranged for someone to call Liang Jing, Liang Ming nodded slightly and said with relief:

“Mom, you’re becoming more and more composed in your work. You’re doing a great job.”

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, A Ma smiled. He was very happy to receive Liang Ming's praise.

"Brother Liang Ming, I've also sent someone to inform your parents!"

Seeing this, the little chick quickly said to Liang Ming.

"You two did a great job!" Liang Ming said, not holding back his praise.

Seeing that the host had already sent someone to inform the examinee, the postman felt at ease and opened the Arctic Ocean soda, slowly drinking it.

He had been running all day and was now truly exhausted and thirsty.

He was naturally happy to be able to sit in Liang Ming's yard and have some drinks.

About ten minutes later, the sound of two bicycles screeching to a halt came from outside the yard.

Immediately afterward, Liang Ming's father, Liang Min, ran in from outside the courtyard, excitedly saying:

"My daughter's college acceptance letter has arrived! Let me see it!"

“You’re so beautiful, if you want to see it, then I’ll see it first!” Li Lan, who was following behind, pushed Liang Min aside and said with the same excited expression.

As soon as the postman arrived at our house, he told us that his daughter, Liang Jing, had been accepted into university, and he brought her the acceptance letter.

No matter which university my daughter Liang Jing gets into, she will still be a college student.

She is the only female college student in Liangjia Village!

As parents, they naturally want to see their daughter's university acceptance letter as soon as possible.

Before they could even reach out to take the admission notice from the postman, Liang Ming stopped them.

"Mom and Dad, this acceptance letter must be signed for in person. We have to wait for my sister to come back before we can see it!"

Liang Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Liang Min were immediately puzzled.

"Huh? Why is that? Why can't we parents see the acceptance letter right away!"

"Exactly, exactly, can't a mother even look at her daughter's college acceptance letter?"

When Liang Ming saw that his parents didn't understand, he simply explained to them that some rural parents would destroy their daughters' college admission notices in order to prevent them from going to university.

After hearing their son's explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Liang Min had a look of sudden realization on their faces.

No wonder the postman was reluctant to give them the acceptance letter; it turns out he was afraid of this.

They turned to look and noticed the postman's somewhat wary expression, saying with a wry smile:

“We are the kind of parents who don’t let our daughters go to university. Our family isn’t short of money, and we don’t need to rely on marrying off our daughters to earn dowry money!”

Despite what Liang Min and his wife said, the postman still refused to give up.

After all, he had seen far too many things like this.

If something really goes wrong, he will be criticized and made to write a self-criticism.

Fortunately, the postman didn't have to wait long before Liang Jing returned.

Liang Jing walked into the courtyard and saw that quite a few people were already sitting there.

The village chief, Jiwa, Ama, Gou Dan and the others, eldest brother Liang Ming, and their parents were all sitting there waiting.

As soon as she returned, everyone's eyes were on her.

"You're all waiting for me?"

Seeing this, Liang Jing asked in surprise.

"Daughter, you're finally back! Hurry up and sign for your acceptance letter so we can see what it looks like."

Li Lan grabbed Liang Jing's hand and said anxiously.

“Yes, Xiaojing, Dad wants to see too!” Liang Ming’s eyes were a little red. These few minutes had felt like an eternity to him.

Hearing her parents' words, Liang Jing looked puzzled: "If you want to see it, you can sign for it first and see it first. You don't have to wait for me to come back."

“We wanted to too, but the postman wouldn’t give it to us…” Li Lan helplessly recounted what had just happened in the yard to Liang Jing.

After hearing this, Liang Jing's face showed a look of surprise.

He hadn't expected that there would be these regulations for the postman delivering the acceptance letter.

"Are you candidate Liang Jing?"

The postman knew the family was getting impatient, so when he saw Liang Jing return, he immediately stood up and asked.

"Yes, I am!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Jing quickly replied.

"Tell me your personal information!" The postman asked Liang Jing, holding the admission notice in his hand.

Liang Jing quickly recited her name, school, class, and other information in detail.

After confirming that everything was correct, the postman smiled and handed the acceptance letter to Liang Jing, saying:

"Congratulations on being admitted to the Provincial University of Political Science and Law! This is a university of political science and law; after graduation, you'll be a government official right away. Your future is limitless!"

At this point, he turned to Liang Min and his wife, as well as Liang Ming, and said:

"Your family has given birth to a phoenix girl!"

"With such a wonderful daughter, life will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Upon hearing the postman's words, Liang Jing smiled, accepted the acceptance letter, and said, "Thank you!"

When Liang Min and his wife heard what the postman said, their faces were filled with smiles.

Li Lan even shouted that she wanted to go inside and give the postman a red envelope.

Upon hearing this, the postman did not refuse and waited in the yard.

You should know that if his position were in ancient times, he would be a minor official responsible for announcing the names of scholars, licentiates, and jinshi (successful candidates in the imperial examinations).

Along the way, they would beat drums and gongs, shouting that so-and-so from Liangjia Village had passed the high school entrance exam!

The clerk who delivered the news of the master's success in the imperial examination would also receive a reward.

Liang Jing was admitted to the provincial university of political science and law. After graduation, she will definitely be able to enter the system, which is no different from passing the imperial examination.

If she had excelled academically during her time at the university of political science and law, and had also become a vice president or president in the student union, she would have been even more likely to be assigned to a municipal or higher-level unit after graduation.

Having passed the imperial examination, there was no doubt that he had succeeded.

So now when the host wants to give him a red envelope, he is happy to accept it.

"Thank you so much, postman, for bringing the acceptance letter all this way!"

Li Lan sealed a 3-yuan red envelope, handed it to the postman, and said...

Don't underestimate 3 yuan; it's equivalent to one or two days' wages for an average person.

"It's not hard, it's not hard!"

The postman accepted the red envelope and quickly said with a smile:

"I'll be going now if there's nothing else. Please make sure you check the reporting date on your admission notice. In previous years, many college students missed the reporting date, which caused them regret!"

Hearing the postman's instructions, Liang Ming and his family expressed their gratitude.
