Chapter 228 The Students' Visit
"I really dare not accept it, Mr. Zhong. Delivering admission notices to students is simply part of our job."
Zhong Weibin quickly explained:
"Teachers, please don't be shy. This is just a token of our appreciation! According to our local custom, we should show our appreciation to each other when such a happy occasion occurs. Besides, everyone in the waist drum team just received a red envelope, so everyone who comes today will receive one!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan laughed as well. He took out cigarettes from his pocket and said to the teachers:
"Haha, that's for sure! If the teachers don't accept it, I bet Zhao Di's grandparents won't be able to sleep tonight because they're so happy!"
After saying that, Zhao Yuan also kindly gave each teacher a cigarette.
Faced with the Zhao family's overwhelming hospitality, the teachers were eventually moved by their sincerity and happily decided to stay for lunch.
The atmosphere at the Chinese restaurant was pleasant and relaxed, with everyone sitting around the table, enjoying the delicious food.
Zhong Weibin's superb culinary skills satisfied everyone's appetite, and everyone praised his skills highly, with accolades rising and falling incessantly.
After lunch, Zhaoyuan's family gratefully saw the teacher off at the gate.
As the teacher's figure gradually disappeared from sight, the courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. Zhao Laidi led her two younger sisters to leisurely set up their positions in the courtyard and began to practice calligraphy with great concentration.
Meanwhile, the good news that Zhao Zhaodi had received her admission notice spread like wildfire among her classmates.
After lunch, Zhao Zhaodi originally planned to go to the company with Zhao Yuan to further understand the relevant business knowledge.
However, just then, a soft knocking sound came from outside the courtyard.
Upon hearing the noise, Lin Fangfang quickly put down her work, walked briskly to the courtyard gate, and opened it.
A group of energetic young people were standing outside the door.
The female student standing at the front of the crowd was the first to ask:
"Hello Auntie, is Zhao Zhaodi home? We are all Zhao Zhaodi's classmates."
Hearing the noise, Lin Fangfang, who was busy inside the house, immediately turned around and shouted loudly into the yard:
"Zhao Di, someone's looking for you outside!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Zhaodi hurriedly came out of the kitchen.
At that moment, she was busy washing the dishes after the meal, her hands covered in dish soap foam, and were all wet.
When she saw the familiar and friendly faces at the door, she was so surprised that her eyes widened and her face was full of joy.
"Oh my, it's Zhu Jing, Li Bin, Chen Runping, Yan Meili, and Shen Shanshan! This is such a surprise! Come on in, please come in!"
Zhao Zhaodi extended a warm invitation to the students and eagerly went forward to welcome them into her cozy courtyard.
"Quickly, quick, don't stand there, come in and sit down!"
Hearing the cheerful laughter outside, Zhao Yuan hurried out of the main room to greet the students warmly. He was all smiles, waving as he walked in.
"I have a few more bowls. Please sit for a while, I'll be there in a bit."
Zhao Zhaodi immediately returned to the kitchen, her hands moving even faster. In no time, she had washed all the bowls clean, quickly dried her hands with a towel, and then jogged to the main room.
Meanwhile, Lin Fangfang was also busy. She was quickly taking out some snacks and fresh fruits from the cabinet and placing them on the table.
Xu Shuhui skillfully brewed a pot of fragrant tea and carefully carried it to the main room.
"Zhaodi, quickly invite the students to sit down, have some tea, and try these snacks."
Lin Fangfang smiled and said to Zhao Zhaodi, and before she finished speaking, she turned around and went into the kitchen to help prepare the snacks.
"Zhaodi, congratulations! You're amazing! You're the first in our class to receive a university acceptance letter! Show us your letter!"
At this moment, a slightly plump female student couldn't contain her excitement and spoke first.
"Yeah yeah!"
The other students chimed in, their eyes filled with envy and anticipation.
Hearing everyone's praise, Zhao Zhaodi lowered her head shyly, but she quickly raised her head, her face beaming with a happy smile, and hurried to her room to take out the precious admission notice from Tsinghua University.
"Wow, that's wonderful! It's an admission letter from Tsinghua University! Li Bin, you should receive yours in the next couple of days, right? Take a look beforehand and share in Zhao Di's joy!"
Zhu Jing excitedly picked up the notification letter, praising it as she handed it to Li Bin, who was sitting next to her.
Li Bin slightly pushed up his glasses, accepted the notification letter with a shy smile, examined it carefully, and then gently handed it to Chen Runping beside him.
"Zhao Di, congratulations!"
Chen Runping accepted the bright red notification letter from Zhao Zhaodi with a big smile on his face, his eyes full of joy.
"Thank you! We're so happy for each other. Your acceptance letters must be on their way too; mine just arrived a little earlier."
Zhao Zhaodi was also all smiles, her excitement evident.
At this moment, Zhu Jing came over. She and Chen Runping lived in the same neighborhood, and their parents were colleagues, so they were naturally quite familiar with each other. Zhu Jing asked curiously:
"Chen Runping, when should your military academy admission notice arrive?"
Chen Runping scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said:
"I heard it's coming soon, probably in the next few days."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Jing eagerly turned to face the crowd and announced loudly and excitedly:
"I have great news to share! Chen Runping has been accepted into XXX Military Academy! From now on, he'll be a very impressive officer!"
Upon hearing the good news, the surrounding classmates gathered around, vying to congratulate Chen Runping.
Immediately, praises and blessings poured in.
"Chen Runping, congratulations! You're amazing!"
"That's fantastic! You're sure to achieve great things in the future! We'll soon be classmates of high-ranking military officers."
……
Just as everyone was chatting animatedly, Zhao Yuan walked over with light steps. He smiled and said to everyone:
"Kids, stay home for dinner today. Grandpa is already busy in the kitchen preparing delicious food."
Zhao Zhaodi quickly chimed in:
