On the same day, the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau were accompanied by teachers from the town middle school, and went to Gu Zhiyan's house to celebrate, because Gu Zhiyan was the top student in the city's college entrance examination, and her scores could be enough for university.
The Education Bureau also gave Gu Zhiyan a bonus of fifty yuan, which was a huge sum at this time.
"Comrade Gu, you have raised a good daughter and cultivated pillars for the country. We want to thank you!"
The leader patted Father Gu on the shoulder affectionately, his savings were so amiable that Father Gu was flattered.
The patriarch of the Gu clan came, and sat down and waited directly for the leader. After the leader left, the people of the Gu clan were even happier than in the Chinese New Year. The city's top student in the college entrance examination, and even the city leaders came to congratulate him. This is a supreme honor.
"Zhiyan gave us a boost, great job!" the patriarch praised.
Gu Zhiyan smiled slightly, but didn't say anything, but she didn't think so in her heart.
When her mother-in-law forced her to marry, no one from the clan came out to speak for her. She also said that girls don't need to read too much, and sooner or later they will be married off and belong to someone else's family.
If the Tang family hadn't come forward, she would have married that rogue gangster long ago, and she would be living a life better than death.
She is only grateful to the Tang family, and only repays their family, the others... Ha!
Not worthy!
"I think it's going to be a big celebration!" The patriarch was enthusiastic.
The other clansmen were also very supportive. Those who contributed money contributed money and contributed to their efforts. After all, Gu Zhiyan went to FD University. After graduation, she was a state cadre, that is, a high-class person who eats public food.
In the eyes of the rural people, the cadres are high-ranking officials, who they cannot afford to offend.
They also have the intention to curry favor with Gu Zhiyan, in case something happens in the future? Can Gu Zhiyan help? Even if they don't help, they can't be offended.
Gu Zhiyan politely refused, "Aunt Jinfeng has prepared the wine for me? They said that it will be served when the notice arrives? Let me and Tang Aihua serve it together, uncles, don't waste your money? Thank you for your kindness."
The smiles on the faces of the clansmen faded a little, and then they thought that Gu Zhiyan had arranged a marriage? Strictly speaking? Gu Zhiyan was no longer the Gu family, and the glory obtained was also the Tang family's, and had nothing to do with the Gu family at all.
They also remembered the difficulty of Gu Zhiyan's study before, when she was forced to marry by her mother-in-law? They didn't make it? After thinking about it a few members of the clan looked ashamed and made excuses and left.
The patriarch smiled embarrassingly, and said dryly, "Since the Tang family has served wine, then let them do it? Your Aunt Jinfeng has a heart, and you will be filial to her in the future."
"I know? I will definitely treat her as a filial mother, and Uncle Laifu? I will also treat her as a filial father."
Gu Zhiyan's expression is very serious, she is not talking empty words? Even if Tang Aihua has another girl he likes in the future? Can she not be the Tang family's daughter-in-law? She will also repay the Tang family's kindness. You can justifiably filial piety to them.
Gu's father and stepmother's expressions became unnatural, these words were like poking their hearts, especially Gu's father, he was very guilty, but he was also very helpless.
Gu Zhiyan took out the 50 yuan red envelope given by the Education Bureau, and said in front of the clansmen: "I plan to leave this 50 yuan for my brother to go to school, Dad, don't say that you don't have money for your brother to go to school in the future, five Ten dollars is enough for my brother to go to high school."
The stepmother's complexion changed greatly. With this money, she plans to buy new clothes for her own children, and her daughter is about to get married. She has to spend money everywhere. Fifty yuan is very useful.
