"Slow down, my daughter-in-law!" Tang Zhi also heard the shout and came out from inside.
"Hurry up! My admission notice has arrived!" Ye Fangfei not only didn't slow down but even quickened her pace.
Fortunately, their yard was small, and it only took a few steps to reach the door.
"Comrade, hello! I am Ye Fangfei," she said as soon as she saw the postal worker.
"You are Comrade Ye Fangfei?" the postal worker asked again.
"Yes, that's me," Ye Fangfei nodded affirmatively.
"Alright, here is your admission notice. Please take it," the postal worker said as he pulled out an envelope from his bag and handed it over.
Ye Fangfei excitedly took it, repeatedly thanking him, "Thank you, thank you, comrade!"
She patted her pocket, wanting to treat the postal worker to a piece of candy, but unfortunately, her pockets were empty.
She could only smile awkwardly.
At that moment, Tang Zhi also came out. He grabbed a handful of candies from a basket filled with snacks and stuffed them into the postal worker's hand. "Comrade, please have some candy to share in the joy."
"No, no," the postal worker quickly declined.
Seeing Tang Zhi offering candies, Ye Fangfei smiled and said, "Please take it, comrade. Thank you for making this trip."
Seeing their genuine gesture, the postal worker stopped refusing. "Well then, I’ll accept it. This is the first admission notice in our area."
The post office in Beicheng was divided into sections.
The excitement at Ye Fangfei's doorstep had already drawn people out of the courtyard.
It was a small day and also a Sunday; most people were at home.
"Xiao Ye, I heard something about an admission notice," said Zhou Xiaoying, who lived in the front room closest to the door and had come out first upon hearing the commotion.
"Sister-in-law, it's my admission notice!" Ye Fangfei had not mentioned her college entrance exam to anyone before.
However, now that the exam was over and she had received her notice, she decided to be honest about it.
"What admission notice? Xiao Ye, what have you done?" Zhao Dama came out of the courtyard just in time to hear this.
"Feifei got into college! The notice that just arrived is for her university admission," Tang Zhi proudly added from the side.
"Really? Xiao Ye got into college?" Aunt Han exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, it's true," Ye Fangfei said modestly.
"Xiao Ye is really impressive. I've heard that getting into college isn't easy these days."
"Of course! Once you graduate from college, you can become an official."
"Who got into college? I haven't heard anyone from our department taking the college entrance exam."
"Xiao Ye got in. As for why you haven't heard about it, we don't know either."
"Xiao Ye is quite reserved; she wouldn't go around boasting about it if there was nothing to brag about."
Ye Fangfei smiled as she listened to her neighbors chatter excitedly. She occasionally chimed in with a few responses.
Tang Zhi stepped forward, took Ye Fangfei's hand, and whispered, "Congratulations, my wife! You're the first college student in our family."
Ye Fangfei squeezed Tang Zhi's hand in return. "Are you happy that your wife has brought you some pride?"
"Happy? Of course I'm happy," Tang Zhi said, leaning close to her ear.
At that moment, Xiao Yueyue came out with her younger brother. "Mom, did you get into college?"
"Yes, Mom got into college," Ye Fangfei replied with a smile and a nod.
"That's great! Now I have a college student for a mom!" Xiao Yueyue cheered.
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" Little Taiyang clapped his hands behind his sister.
Just then, someone from the neighbors shouted, "Xiao Ye got into college! Doesn't that mean we should celebrate?"
"Yes, they should treat us! Xiao Ye is the first college student in our courtyard; it brings us all honor."
"I think we shouldn't make them treat us. The festival is coming up soon; let's just have a potluck with two dishes from each family and enjoy some time together. What do you all think?"
"That's a good idea! Let's do it. We haven't gathered together as a courtyard yet."
"Yes, that's a great idea. What about Xiao Ye? Do you agree?" Everyone turned to look for Ye Fangfei and Tang Zhi.
"I agree."
"I agree."
The two spoke in unison. They were surprised at their perfect harmony and exchanged smiles after realizing it.
They met through a blind date and got married ten years later, living a simple yet happy life together. As the years stretched on, they would undoubtedly walk hand in hand, striving towards a beautiful future together.
