Chapter 631: Chapter 600: School Starts, Acquaintance_1

Everything was ready, just waiting for the school term to begin.

He Tiantian wrote letters to Third Grandma Qi, Qi Xiaoyan, and Qi Daniu of Qijia Village, telling them she had been admitted to university and asking about their well-being.

While He Tiantian was awaiting the start of school, she unexpectedly received a visit from Huang Jingli and Cui Ying.

Huang Jingli had gotten He Tiantian’s address from Village Chief Qi, and now they had both been accepted to universities in Nan City and had arrived today to enroll tomorrow.

When He Tiantian opened the door, she was slightly taken aback to see Huang Jingli.

"Jingli, what are you doing here?" asked He Tiantian, and quickly added, "Did you two get into university? Which one?"

Huang Jingli came in, smiling, "I got into the Chinese department at Nan City University, and so did Cui Ying. Her senior is in the archeology department. We arrived in Nan City today and will go enroll at the school tomorrow. We had some free time, so we decided to come and see you. I’ve missed you after all this time."

"Heh, that’s great." He Tiantian said, "By the way, where’s your luggage?"

"We’ve already left it at the guesthouse." Cui Ying said with a laugh, "I’m sorry, my senior and I came to visit all of a sudden, we didn’t mean to disturb you."

Only then did He Tiantian notice a man at the door; it turned out to be Huashan.

"No disturbance at all, come on in." He Tiantian laughed, "Actually, you didn’t need to stay at the guesthouse, there’s space in my home."

"Heh, we brought quite a few things with us, I didn’t want to trouble you." Huang Jingli said, "We just came to familiarize ourselves with the place so we can come over to your place more often in the future."

Grandma Wang was taking care of the children while He Tiantian went to make tea.

Huashan came in and exchanged a glance with Cui Ying; their eyes simultaneously fixed on the large turtle under the big tree in the yard.

Indeed, there was something odd!

This was definitely no ordinary turtle!

The Little Rotating Turtle felt the scrutiny from Cui Ying and Huashan, glanced over a few times with its mung bean-sized eyes, and continued to meditate under the tree, ignoring the two people.

These two were nothing but ordinary humans with a bit more knowledge, not worth worrying about.

After being introduced by He Tiantian, the three greeted Grandma Wang and then went to play with the twins of mixed sex.

By the time He Tiantian had poured tea for everyone, brought out some pastries, and placed them on the table, they all enjoyed tea and snacks together.

"Sister Jingli, what about Lin Xiaoru?" He Tiantian asked. When she left, Lin Xiaoru was busy studying, hoping to get into a university. She heard that Lin Xiaoru had even monopolized Huang Jingli’s reference materials and had been bullying her.

Huang Jingli laughed, showing disdain, "Of course she didn’t get in! She always knew just how to eat, drink, and be merry. There was no way she could’ve gotten into college by cramming at the last minute!"

"Oh, right, I see." He Tiantian nodded, "She didn’t get in, so she let you go to university without any problems?"

Hearing this, Huang Jingli gave a bitter smile and said, "You guessed it, I got in, and Lin Xiaoru even tried to use my name to go to university. I didn’t agree, and then she threatened me. Fortunately, I had commendation letters from Secretary Qi and the Qijia Village Brigade, and never let Lin Xiaoru succeed!"

"From now on, college entrance exams won’t be about your background, so you don’t have to worry," He Tiantian said, "Nan City is not the same as before."

"Yes, it’s different from before," Huang Jingli said, "In the past, we dare not laugh out loud as we walked down the street. Now, on my way here from the guest house, I noticed that people’s spirits have improved a lot, and no one is pulled out for public criticism at the drop of a hat anymore."

"That’s right, things will get better and better," He Tiantian said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, I also got into the Chinese Department of Nan City University, so we can study together in the future, and have each other’s support."

"That’s really great," Huang Jingli said, "With Sister Tiantian here, I can always ask you if there’s anything I don’t know."

"Sister Tiantian is a local, she must know all the good food and fun places around here. When we go out, we can also ask Sister Tiantian for advice," Cui Ying said. She wanted to have a good relationship with He Tiantian, even if it was just for the sake of that turtle.

Just then, Huo Yingjie came in from outside, pushing a bicycle with a large hemp sack on the rear seat.

Seeing the visitors at home, Huo Yingjie squinted his eyes.

Hehe, these two people!

They actually followed us to Nan City, the interest lies not in the wine!

"Hehe, we have guests at home, it’s good that I bought quite a bit of stuff at noon, we should treat our guests well," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, visitors are always welcome, especially since Huang Jingli has a good relationship with He Tiantian.

"Sure thing!" He Tiantian responded, "By the way, how about Sister Wu, Ye Xiaofan and the others in the village?"

"Sister Wu and Wang Lei got into a local university, and so did Ye Xiaofan and Zhang Qingshan, they all went back to their hometowns," Huang Jingli said, "Among the educated youths from our village, only two didn’t get into university, one is Lin Xiaoru, and the other is Li Mingkai."

"What?" He Tiantian was surprised, "Li Mingkai didn’t get in either?"

That’s not right, in my previous life Li Mingkai definitely got in!

And in this life, Li Mingkai was a teacher at Qi Family Primary School, he had a long time to review, and had all the necessary materials, it’s impossible for him not to get into university, right?

Huang Jingli whispered, "Li Mingkai never received the admission notice, everyone said he didn’t get in."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian had a hunch and said, "Hehe, not receiving an admission notice doesn’t necessarily mean not getting in!"

Huang Jingli was startled and thought of the past rumors that Qi Shuli had hidden He Tiantian’s letters. With that in mind, she carefully considered that Li Mingkai’s admission notice might have been hidden by Qi Shuli.

"Tiantian, are you saying the admission notice was hidden?" Huang Jingli asked, if that was the case, then Li Mingkai was really unfortunate.

He Tiantian just smiled and said, "I’m not in Qijia Village, who knows!"

Huang Jingli knew that He Tiantian also had a poor impression of Li Mingkai, so she didn’t mention him anymore.

Li Mingkai was too opportunistic, and Huang Jingli didn’t have a good relationship with him, especially after he went to the county propaganda team, they barely had any contact, just a nod and a greeting when they met!

"By the way, Tiantian, Daniu got into the teacher’s college in Huai City, just as she wished," Huang Jingli knew that He Tiantian and Qi Daniu were close, so she took the initiative to talk about Qi Daniu’s situation.

"That’s great, that girl has always wanted to be a teacher, and now that she’s in teacher’s college, she’ll be an official teacher after she’s assigned," He Tiantian was very happy, Qi Daniu was a very pure person, and such people were especially suitable to be teachers.

"Yeah, oh, and your dear friend Zhengmin is currently helping build a factory in Qijia Village!" Huang Jingli said, telling about the recent events in Qijia Village.

"What?" He Tiantian was taken aback, "Building a factory? Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

"Yes, they had already started construction when we arrived, saying they wanted to build a jujube processing plant," Huang Jingli said, "They say the jujubes from the hills behind Qijia Village have great health benefits and can be turned into health products."
