Chapter 150 A Letter of Acceptance from a University with No Sound
Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look and found that there was no figure around, so he walked into the ground boldly with confidence.
The math book was lying quietly on the ground, Niu Xiaoqiang reached out and picked up the book, but as soon as the book was picked up, he saw what was pressed underneath. This is a stack of dollar bills left by Watson.
"Why did he keep the money?"
Niu Xiaoqiang is a little difficult to understand, if the other party is really a liar, he can't do it after the fraud fails, because this is not logical at all.
"Could it be that this is a counterfeit banknote, which he used to deceive people?"
At present, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation, Niu Xiaoqiang realized something after speaking, and he hurriedly took out the RMB in his pocket. After some identification, Niu Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the RMB is real, otherwise I would have lost a lot." ”
He finished speaking, bent down and picked up the bill. Watson had just taken out 10,000 dollars in bills, but now he only had 1,000 left. These money are the funds for his business trip, and before he won over Niu Xiaoqiang, Watson felt that investing 10,000 yuan was a bit much, and after considering it, he left 1,000 yuan.
On the one hand, he saw that Niu Xiaoqiang was too poor and wanted to help this genius improve his living conditions, and on the other hand, he wanted to leave a friendship and pave the way for future meetings.
In order to show that he is not a bad person, Watson also wrote a message on the math book with a pen, to the effect that he is indeed a professor at MIT and definitely not a bad person.
At the end of the message, Watson also wrote down his contact number and mailing address, and he hoped that Niu Xiaoqiang could take the initiative to contact him after he figured it out. As long as Niu Xiaoqiang has that meaning, he will take care of all the things about studying abroad, and he will not let Niu Xiaoqiang do any snack.
Niu Xiaoqiang's English vocabulary is still quite large, but he can't read Watson's handwriting. It took a lot of effort for Niu Xiaoqiang to understand what Watson meant.
He tilted his head and looked at the direction in which Watson disappeared, and said in his heart: Is it really that I have wronged a good person? Can't I? My sister's admission to university can be described as a single-plank bridge, and the acceptance rate is not known if there is one percent, if you want to be admitted to Tsinghua University, the acceptance rate is even more amazingly low, maybe only one in 10,000, and if the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that Watson said is really ranked first in the world, it will only be more difficult to get in, where is it so easy?
In Niu Xiaoqiang's concept, the more powerful the university, the more difficult it is to get in. In fact, the current university acceptance rate in China is very low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge. But MIT's multinational enrollment is a little different from what he knew, so it's no wonder he thinks so.
"Little brother, what are you doing? It's almost eight o'clock, why don't you go home for dinner?"
Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look, and saw that the eldest sister Niu Chunxiang was walking towards him. He nodded, "I'll go home now." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang put 1,000 dollars in his pocket and walked home with a hoe. Let's not talk about the authenticity first, the workmanship of these dollar bills is still very good, and Niu Xiaoqiang is ready to take it home and paste the wall.
Recently, we are engaged in double robbery, which is the busiest time of the year for rural people. Niu Xiaoqiang quickly caught up with the eldest sister, returned home and quickly finished breakfast, and then went to the rice field with a basket on his back.
Niu Xiaoqiang's family only has more than two acres of paddy fields, so there was no need to be in such a hurry, but the weather forecast said that it might rain in two days, so the whole family had to hurry up to work.
In order to harvest the rations smoothly and into the warehouse, the third sister Niu Qiuxiang asked for leave to come back to help, and the fourth sister Niu Dongxiang added two more laborers to the family. Only the second sister Niu Xiaxiang and the eldest brother Niu Xiaogang did not rush back because of work.
At three o'clock this morning, the three sisters and their parents got up to cut the rice, and after several hours of busyness, the rice was finished. Originally, the rice had to be dried in the field for two days after cutting, but considering that it would rain in the next two days, this link could only be omitted first, and the rice would be spread out and dried when the weather was fine.
Niu Xiaoqiang first took off the basket and helped his family tie up the rice, and when the adults were picking the rice, he picked up the fallen ears of rice in the field. In the case of few fields, the people in the mountains cherish every grain very much, which can be regarded as the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
Due to the recent busyness, Niu Xiaoqiang and the others did not have time to go to Fang Dongping's class. The whole family worked until noon, and finally brought the rice home. When Niu Xiaoqiang walked into the house with the half-back basket of rice ears he picked up, the three sisters were helping his mother pinch vegetables. As for Daddy Niu, he was squatting on the threshold smoking a dry cigarette.
Seeing that a new round of sowing requires a lot of investment, Niu Dazhuang's face looked a little dignified.
Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to give the money he earned in the morning to his parents so that he could help the family solve their difficulties, but when he thought of the amount and origin of the money, he didn't dare to do so. Otherwise, if the family is investigated by the family, it will be difficult to explain.
This matter involves foreigners, and it is a very big matter, and Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't want to make trouble for himself. After thinking about it, he came up with a brilliant idea.
After Niu Xiaoqiang put the back basket away, he walked into the hall and sat down next to Niu Chunxiang. Taking advantage of the time between the chats of several sisters, he took the initiative to mention the matter of the fourth sister going to college: "Fourth sister, why is there no news about your college admission letter?"
Niu Dongxiang's face was a little ugly when she heard this, she was only worried about one thing when she went to college, that is, not enough money, but now she is more worried about whether she will be admitted to Tsinghua University.
Anyway, it's already mid-August, even if the place where I live is a little remote, the admission letter should have been delivered, why is there no news yet?
Niu Dongxiang did not go back to school to check the results, nor did he fill in the volunteers. After the college entrance examination, she explained to the head teacher, Mr. Xue, and entrusted the other party with the matter of filling in the volunteers. If she is really admitted to Tsinghua University, Mr. Xue will personally send the admission letter to her home, saving her the hard work of running at both ends.
As for whether she will fall off the list, this is not within the scope of her and Teacher Xue's consideration at all. Niu Dongxiang's results are really good, and his performance in the college entrance examination is also very stable, and there is no risk of stumbling.
Unexpectedly, it is now mid-August, and the legendary university admission letter is still without news, which makes Niu Dongxiang's mentality inevitably change.
The family was also very puzzled by this, but no one raised it in person, as if they were afraid of stimulating Niu Dongxiang.
At this moment, when Niu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to mention this matter, no one else, including Dad, spoke. Seeing this, Niu Dongxiang could only stubbornly say: "It may be that the road is too far, and our family is too remote, so it delayed the time." ”
