Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

The factory was quite far from the production team, and the sound coming from the loudspeaker was somewhat muffled.

But if you listen carefully, you can still hear it faintly.

The moment they heard the announcement of the acceptance letter being broadcast, Liu Jia and Zhou Caixia perked up.

Nearby, Zhao Xiaochao and the others, unaware of what was being broadcast over the loudspeaker, naturally didn't pay any attention.

Zhao Xiaochao and Zhan Jun were carrying bamboo, the two of them carrying huge bundles, and they were kicking and swaying as they walked.

Although the sound wasn't loud, it was right under your ears, so it would naturally affect the sound coming from the speaker.

Zhou Caixia quickly turned around and called out in a low voice.

"I quit! Stop doing this! Listen to the radio!"

"Sister Caixia, why are you listening to the radio? If this bamboo isn't moved soon, it'll get moldy."

Zhou Caixia was so anxious she wanted to stomp her feet. "The admission notice is being broadcast over the loudspeaker, can't you wait a little while?"

Upon hearing about the admission notice, Zhao Xiaochao and the others all turned their attention to Liu Jia.

Then, all was quiet.

Fortunately, Zhou Fengshou repeated the prefix several times, and when everyone quieted down, Zhou Fengshou started broadcasting the list of people who had received their admission notices.

"Su Xiangxiu, Guo Xiaoyan."

"Su Xiangxiu, Guo Xiaoyan."

"Su Xiangxiu, Guo Xiaoyan."

Zhou Fengshou read out the names of the two people three times. Everyone was waiting for the other names to be announced, but then the loudspeaker suddenly went silent.

Everyone recognized the names Guo Xiaoyan and Su Xiangxiu clearly, but what about the rest?

"Third Brother, why isn't your name on this list? What happened?"

Zhou Caixia stared at Liu Jia in disbelief.

Liu Jia was also taken aback.

Based on my calculations, getting into university shouldn't be a problem.

However, my name was not on the list of those who received admission notices.

This surprised Liu Jia as well.

Zhou Caixia's eyes widened, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

He stared at Liu Jia without uttering a sound.

It looked as if he wanted to see right through Liu Jia.

Liu Jia could only say, "How would I know what happened? I guess I didn't pass the exam."

"Impossible! Guo Xiaoyan passed the exam, how could you not? You're much smarter than Guo Xiaoyan!"

"Don't lie. The college entrance exam tests your knowledge reserves, not how smart you are. Guo Xiaoyan went to high school, and she learned a lot..."

Liu Jia tried to explain to Zhou Caixia, but Zhou Caixia wouldn't listen to anything he said.

She turned around abruptly and stormed out, saying angrily, "There must be some mistake. I don't believe it. I'm going to find my dad!"

Liu Jia was speechless.

I was somewhat surprised by this result.

But Zhou Caixia, that girl is really too impulsive.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) involves various departments and is considered a top priority for the entire country.

Where is it possible for Zhou Fengshou to solve this problem by himself?

Just as Liu Jia was trying to figure out how to dissuade Zhou Caixia, someone suddenly shouted, "Help! Aunt Chunlan has fainted!"

Upon hearing the sudden, sharp shout, Liu Jia turned around abruptly.

Zhou Caixia, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks!

"What happened? Aunt Chunlan fainted?"

As soon as I asked that question, someone ran out of the house and started waving their arms wildly.

"Come inside quickly and check on her! Aunt Chunlan is dead!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone began rushing into the house.

Zhao Xiaochao blinked and suddenly slapped the top of his head.

"Just now, only two women's names were called over the loudspeaker, right? Didn't they call out Aunt Chunlan's son's name?"

Zhao Xiaochao's voice wasn't loud, but all the brothers on the other side heard him clearly.

Zhan Jun nodded first.

"They didn't call out his name, and none of them mentioned Third Brother's name. Not to mention the others, there were only two girls who got into university."

"Oh no, oh no, Aunt Chunlan definitely won't be able to handle this blow. Didn't they say her son was a college fanatic? This is it!"

Zhao Xiaochao muttered to himself, his brows furrowing into a knot.

It's one thing if other people don't get into university; that's their problem.

But Zhao Xiaochao just couldn't believe that Liu Jia failed the exam.

However, Liu Jia is quick-witted and has a good outlook on everything.

Even if he doesn't get into university, he won't be too depressed; Zhao Xiaochao is quite certain of this.

But Aunt Chunlan's son is different.

That's typical of someone who's single-minded.

All he thinks about is going to university; otherwise, he wouldn't be doing nothing but burying himself in books.

If he doesn't get into this university, it will definitely kill him!

Most importantly, he had said that if his son didn't get into our university...

Zhao Xiaochao gasped, not daring to look into the room.

Liu Jia rushed into the house and immediately saw Aunt Chunlan lying on the ground.

Aunt Chunlan's face was ashen, and she lay there stiffly. Several people around her were flustered, but no one dared to approach her.

"You two, help him up first."

As they were talking, Liu Jia had already reached Aunt Chunlan and quickly pinched her philtrum.

Zhou Caixia didn't sit idle either; she immediately started moving Aunt Chunlan's arms.

By this time, Aunt Chunlan had been helped up, and several bold women began to pat her back and chest.

"Auntie, don't worry, wake up first."

"Aunt Chunlan, say something, don't scare us."

"Auntie."

Everyone spoke very softly, and no one dared to shout. The few timid people even had tears in their voices when they spoke.

Liu Jia kept his eyes fixed on Aunt Chunlan, even thinking that if things didn't improve, he would send her to the clinic.

"Okay, okay, it's breathing again!"

Seeing Aunt Chunlan's chest bob slightly, Zhou Caixia exclaimed with relief.

Then, Aunt Chunlan slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing a group of people surrounding her, Aunt Chunlan was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

"Oh God, how are we supposed to live like this? My son didn't pass the exam, he didn't pass..."

Tears welled up in Aunt Chunlan's eyes and flowed down her cheeks like a floodgate being opened.

Everyone felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, but thankfully Chunlan was alright, and their hearts, which had been in their throats, were somewhat relieved.

"Auntie, there are many ways out in this world. Going to university isn't the only way out, right? Don't worry."

Aunt Chunlan looked bewildered and stood up almost instinctively.

Liu Jia was worried about Aunt Chunlan's health and was about to say something when Aunt Chunlan suddenly said, "Thank you all for your help. I have to go home now and see my daughter."

That short sentence made everyone's hearts jump again.

I was so focused on Aunt Chunlan that I forgot about something important.

Aunt Chunlan couldn't bear the thought of her son failing to get into university, so her stubborn son's situation must be even more serious!

Before everyone could recover, Aunt Chunlan had already rushed out, crying as she ran.

Seeing this scene, everyone could only sigh.

Zhou Caixia pouted, her small face looking as if covered with a layer of ice.

Things didn't turn out the way I expected.

Why didn't Liu Jia pass the exam?

After he suddenly left, everyone realized another problem: Liu Jia, who was standing in front of them, had also failed the exam.

At first, everyone thought that Zhou Fengshou was slow to broadcast and might call him by another name.

But to everyone's surprise, after so long there was still no news, and everyone's hopes gradually waned.

It seems like this matter has been settled.

Thinking of Aunt Chunlan's life-or-death state just now, the people in the courtyard were also worried that Liu Jia might do something unusual.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jia remained calm.

Zhao Xiaochao glanced to the side twice, and a question arose in his mind.

What happened?

Could it be that Third Brother is just holding it in?

If that's the case, you might as well shout it out a few times, lest you suffocate from holding it in!

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone, pack up your work and head home."

When Liu Jia spoke again, he surprisingly mentioned that everyone should go home.

They made no mention of the university acceptance letter.

The group exchanged glances and then silently went inside.

Liu Jia put the towel down and then headed out.

"Third brother, where are you going?"

Zhou Caixia looked worried and followed closely behind Liu Jia.

Liu Jia pointed outside.

"I need to go to the production team to pick up Guo Xiaoyan's notification letter. It should be sent by registered mail, and if no one picks it up, the postman might just take it back."

Liu Jia's voice sounded perfectly normal.

But for some reason, Zhou Caixia just wanted to cry.

"Third Brother, I'll go get it, you don't need to go."

"No need, I got the notice today, I'll deliver it to her on my way to the city tomorrow."

Zhou Caixia squeezed her fingers hard to keep the tears from falling, but her eyes were already red.

Liu Jia across from him smiled.

"What's wrong? How old are you? You're acting like a child. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm bullying you again. Hurry up and pack your things and go home!"

The factory was large, and with Zhao Xiaochao and a few others watching over it, Liu Jia felt quite at ease leaving the tractor there.

I've almost finished everything I need to do. I'll make another delivery tomorrow, and then I can finalize the tractor deal. Delivering the notice to Guo Xiaoyan will be a convenient thing to do as well.

Not receiving a university acceptance letter was somewhat unexpected, but Liu Jia has now accepted the fact.

If I don't pass the exam, I don't pass it. I can just try again next year.

In life, we encounter countless things, and not every hope will necessarily lead to our desired outcome.

Being able to return to my family is already the greatest blessing God has given me.

How can everything be perfect?

As soon as Liu Jia entered the village, he saw Old Man Su carrying a letter and running along.

"Old Su, go get your daughter's report card. Congratulations!"

"Xiangxiang got into university, right? This is such a joyous occasion for our village!"

"Don't rush, you'll lose your shoes soon, and it'll be embarrassing to have your big toe sticking out."

"I'll bring some eggs to your house later. Xiangxiang is really capable; she's the first college student in our village!"

Seeing Old Man Su so happy, the people on the street began to congratulate him.

Old Su didn't have time to respond, he just kept nodding.

I couldn't speak because my mouth was practically drooling down to the back of my head.

I'm so happy!

How could I not be happy?

My daughter is a college student from Xili Village. This is something that brings honor to our family!

In Xili Village, which has nearly a thousand residents, only his daughter was admitted to university. Even if he tried not to smile, he couldn't help but feel happy!

Old Su grinned and ran back, and soon he ran into Liu Jia.

"Sanzi, well, I'm going back now!"

For the first time ever, Old Man Su took the initiative to speak to Liu Jia.

However, what he said was halting and stuttering.

No wonder, since he was face to face with Liu Jia, it wouldn't be good to remain silent.

However, everyone in the village thought Liu Jia could get into university, but his name wasn't on the list of those who received the admission notices. And he was holding his daughter's admission notice in his own hand. This meeting was really awkward.

"Okay, Uncle Su, take it easy."

"Well, I'll leave first."

After giving a brief reply, Liu Jia continued walking towards the production line.

At this moment, all those who had just congratulated Old Man Su shut their mouths and began to follow Liu Jia's figure.

As Liu Jia walked through the crowd, he heard whispers in his ear.

"Didn't Old Liu's third son pass the exam? What are they up to now?"

"I don't know. It's normal that he didn't pass the exam. How can someone be so lucky? He's already started a factory. If he were to pass the university entrance exam, wouldn't that be incredible?"

"His wife passed the exam, right? I just heard Guo Xiaoyan's name called."

"What wife? Aren't you getting a divorce?"
