The result was self-evident!
The negative votes were ignored because the vast majority agreed.
A few families were angry when they heard the result. But there was nothing they could do.
…
Back at home, Xiao Lingyu checked her bank loan documents and decided to visit the bank in the county town. If the loan was not approved, she had to find an investor.
When they heard that Xiao Lingyu was going to the county town alone, Father and Mother Xiao disapproved. However, they didn’t understand much about bank loans, so they decided to ask Gong Tianhao to accompany their daughter.
“…” Xiao Lingyu shook her head and refused, “Father and Mother, there’s no need. I can do it myself.”
However, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were exceptionally insistent. Mother Xiao said, “No, you’re pregnant. How can we let you go alone? You have to have someone accompany you.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take fourth uncle’s truck to the county in the morning. When I reach the county town, I can ask my younger brother to accompany me.”
“No. Your brother has just learned how to drive. I’ll be more worried about him driving you around. It’s better to let Tianhao accompany you. Tianhao is a steady child.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” Dad, Mom, do you know that you’ve pushed your daughter into the jaws of a tiger?
Ever since Gong Tianhao made his declaration, he stuck to Xiao Lingyu every day. He knew her schedule very well. Xiao Lingyu would wake up early and then walk around the village to exercise. Then, she would come back for breakfast. Half an hour later, she’d be tired and would go back to sleep.
She would sleep for one or one and a half hours. After waking up, she would lazily lay on the recliner and read for a while. When it was time, she would wash the dishes and do some simple housework.
After lunch, the Sleeping Beauty would lay down again. This time, she would sleep for two to three hours.
When she woke up, she would read for a while and then go out for a walk. When she came back, she would help prepare dinner again.
But after dinner, she would definitely go to bed before nine o’clock.
In short, Xiao Lingyu spent most of her time sleeping.
Xiao Lingyu went for a walk every day, and Gong Tianhao would be waiting for her outside the door every morning. He would follow her around.
Even though Xiao Lingyu disliked it, Gong Tianhao refused to leave. He stuck close to her.
Therefore, early in the morning, many villagers would see the young couple saunter around the village.
Someone joked with Xiao Zhengyang, and his wife, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, Elder Gong’s grandson has become your son-in-law. He is sticking by Lingyu’s side every day.”
Xiao Zhengyang and his wife didn’t mind having Gong Tianhao as their son-in-law. After all, Gong Tianhao really didn’t mind Xiao Lingyu’s child and was sincerely pursuing her.
However, they didn’t push it. Mother Xiao smiled and replied, “That depends on their fate. Tianhao and Lingyu, this is their fate.”
“That’s true,” Someone said.
When this topic was brought up, someone said with a sour tone, “Speaking of which, isn’t Young Master Gong from a big city? Why would he like a girl from the countryside?” Her tone was awkward and sharp.
“What do you mean by that?” Someone refuted, “What’s wrong with a girl from the countryside? We are not inferior to the city girls.
“Plus, Lingyu is a famous university student who has worked in a big city for a few years. When she is in the city, no one can tell she is from the countryside.”
“That’s right. Lingyu is beautiful and outstanding. She is better than the city girls.”
“Tsk, you people speak like you’ve seen many city girls before.”
“We actually have. When they were selling strawberries, many city girls came. If you ask me, none of them is comparable to Lingyu.”
…
Mother Xiao didn’t know the outcome of this argument.
She had left a long time ago.
However, in her heart, her daughter was the best.
To be honest, Mother Xiao and Father Xiao liked Gong Tianhao very much. It wasn’t because he was rich, but because he was sincere. He was serious about their daughter.
But… Mother Xiao sighed. Their daughter still pushed him away.
Thinking of this, Mother Xiao continued, “Yu ‘Er, with Tianhao accompanying you to the bank, we will be more at ease.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” But she really didn’t want him to accompany her.
A smile immediately appeared on Gong Tianhao’s face as he said, “Auntie, don’t worry. I will definitely protect Yu ‘Er well. Nothing will go wrong.”
Mother Xiao smiled and nodded, “Tianhao, of course, we believe you.”
Xiao Lingyu, “…” Mom, does this mean you don’t believe me?
Xiao Lingyu relented, “Fine.”
However, the next day, when Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianliang were about to head to the county town, they were delayed. That was because the news reporters had arrived.
These reporters swarmed into Taoyuan Village.
Xiao Lingye was the top scorer in the science of City Z. The reporters had received the news.
However, there was even more shocking news. The results of No. 1 High School were much better than before!
Last year, Xingyin County’s No. 1 High School only had 112 students who got into first-grade universities, accounting for 20% of the total. 260 people managed to get into the second-grade universities, accounting for 46.4% of the total. The school was ranked last in City Z.
However, this year, No. 1 High School had 276 students who got into first-grade universities, accounting for 40% of the total. 488 people managed to get into the second-rate universities, accounting for 70.7% of the total. This pushed No. 1 High School to 4th place in City Z.
Such a pleasant result made all the teachers and students extremely excited. It even attracted the attention of the bureau leaders.
The most interesting news was Xing Yin County had produced a top scorer in science. He was ranked third in the entire province, with a difference of 0.5 points from the second place.
When such a result came out, it was really a cause for celebration.
Therefore, these reporters had been conducting interviews in the school for the past two days.
They delayed the interview with Xiao Lingye to today.
