Sorry, My Beloved Is The Motherland - Chapter 19.1 - To Dedicate One's Self To The Country

The things sent over filled up the small table in the yurt.

Secretary Tugu Li was the first to arrive, and with a hearty wave of his hand, he expressed that Ning Fu just needed to rest well these next couple of days.

Going to the county to check the results caused many people to miss the New Year’s Day of 1978, so the station decided to hold the New Year’s party in Túlágā banner after all!

It’s just postponed by a few days.

“Everyone wants to join in the fun!” Secretary Tugu Li said, his face full of smiles.

Since learning that Ning Fu scored first in the province, the secretary has been bouncing along the road every day, as if he’s floating.

—This enthusiasm has made his old cold leg*, which he’s had for over twenty years, much better.

T/N: *means chronic leg pain.

Although Ning Fu’s academic results have nothing to do with them, it still shows that the environment of Tulaga banner is indeed nourishing!

Otherwise, why haven’t we seen a top scholar appear from any other place?!

First in the province!

Know what it means to be first in the province?!

The entire Tulaga banner region has over 2,000 households, nearly 10,000 people; the whole county has 15 production teams, exceeding 100,000 people; the entire autonomous region, with four leagues, sixteen counties, and twenty-seven banners, has 25 million people. Among all these people, Ning Fu scored first!

Good heavens, what a great honor to earn!

In the past couple of days, whenever he meets someone, regardless of whether they ask about the young intellectuals’ college entrance examination, Tugu Li must pretend to be casual and bring it up.

——“Aih*, a couple of days ago, we didn’t have much going on, so we all went to the county to check their scores. We really didn’t expect that the top scorer would actually be from our Tulaga banner! It’s that girl who gave you all a talk about assisting with the delivery of cattle and sheep last time! Hey, don’t just look at her beauty; she’s smart too!”

T/N: * an expression of sighing

Seeing the shock on the other person’s face, that delightful feeling can be traded with nothing at all!

To be honest, Ning Fu’s excessive calmness made everyone feel like something is missing, so they had to find a good day to celebrate seriously.

——For the people of the grasslands, what better way is there to express joy than gathering together for a party, singing, dancing, and roasting a sheep?

After the secretary, there were also Du Qingquan, Cui Guofu, and other young intellectuals from the station, along with Aunt Ma and a group of villagers. Du Qingquan and Cui Guofu came together and bought Ning Fu a can of yellow peaches.

In this era, eating canned food is quite a luxury; even the children from ordinary urban families can only have a taste of it when they are sick.

Aunt Ma and the others picked a large basket of dandelions and instructed Xu Cuicui to brew them in water for Ning Fu to drink.

“This stuff cools down the heat!”

Aunt Ma patted her chest and promised that as long as Ning Fu drank her dandelion tea, when it came time to sing at the celebration, her voice would definitely be even more beautiful than that of a yellow oriole!

Once the visitors had left, Xu Cuicui sat on the kang, flipping through Ning Fu’s harvests. “Has Muren Chena come by at all?” she said half-complaining, half-gossiping, “He’s really keeping his distance from you now.”

Ning Fu was half-lying on the bed, feeling lazy. “This is called avoiding like a snake or scorpion.”

T/N: *metaphor for extreme avoidance, also, ‘kang’ is bed

Xu Cuicui grinned upon hearing this, “You’re so beautiful; how could you possibly be like a snake or a scorpion?”

Ning Fu raised an eyebrow and smiled, “So you really think I’m beautiful. This is the first time you’ve admitted it.”

Xu Cuicui stomped her foot in frustration and ran out of the yurt.

Having teased Xu Cuicui enough with a mischievous heart, Ning Fu rubbed her slightly aching forehead.

She checked her attributes panel in her mind.

Ning Fu curved her lips into a smile.

All the skill points in this world have been fully allocated to intelligence. If she doesn’t accomplish something, it would be a disservice to the few drops of blood she lost that day.

The options for her university major directions in her mind have all lit up and are now selectable.

Ning Fu clicked the last option without hesitation—
“Aerospace Design and Manufacturing with Power Engineering (Experimental Class).”

“Comrade Xiao Ning, are you feeling better?”

Cui Guofu lifted the tent flap and poked his head in from outside the yurt, “Shall we discuss the program for the celebration party?”

He didn’t wait for Ning Fu to greet him, but scampered in like a monkey, moved a stool to sit by the kang, and then carefully observed Ning Fu’s complexion.

“That day really scared everyone to death!” Cui Guofu said, “But your treatment is truly enviable ah, big top scholar!”

Ning Fu glanced at him. “Are you wanting to eat the patient’s meal?”

Cui Guofu shrank his neck.

Don’t know why, but usually, Ning Fu never gets angry. However, as long as she wants to, her gentle tone and her face, which is even more beautiful than flowers, can have an extremely strong deterrent effect.

T/N: Impactful lines:

Know what it means to be first in the province?!!

Learning knows no bounds but it should have a noble purpose.
