Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 647 - 96: "The End of Volume 6

The time spent waiting for the acceptance letters flew by.

Chu River wasn’t bothered at all, while Da Dan thought—whether he was accepted or not, he’s still young and has already started making money, so he wasn’t worried about a year or two.

The only one interested was Little Xuan, who was quite confident in his ability.

In other words, precisely because he was confident, he wasn’t anxious—in fact, he was certain he would get accepted!

Chen Changhai wandered back and forth at the post office every day, vividly demonstrating to Chu River what it means to be "more anxious than the emperor."

Oh!

At this moment, Chu River heartlessly thought of Little Yellow—this speculative brother’s patience just couldn’t match Little Yellow’s!

Back then, he was quite the underachiever, completely unconcerned about grades.

But as time passed day by day, acceptance letters still didn’t appear.

Even Wen Juan next door had already knitted a perfectly sized sweater, wearing out her eyes in anticipation.

She hoped day and night for the acceptance letter to arrive, for someone to come looking for her.

Alas, the Little New Year had already passed...

Chen Changhai had waited so long, he finally sighed in relief—another two days and the post office should go on holiday, not to mention the university. If acceptance letters were to arrive, it would likely be after the new year.

Fine!

Let’s go home for a drink, why wait any longer?

...

It is now February 1, 1978.

This day is six days away from Lunar New Year’s Eve.

Right before the end of the year, Chen Changhai is already making a big profit, and is now drinking with a group of brothers.

A hot brass stove is simmering with fragrant lamb soup, and thinly sliced rolls of meat are quickly cooked—just a few dips and they’re done!

A group of men chatted and boasted, feeling life was exceptionally carefree.

Indeed, no one was regulating the black market now; they took advantage of the time before the new year to sell goods.

Not to mention that every household, even the vegetables planted by the kang bed-stove, were in high demand!

"Come on, Brother Changhai, today this drink has to be toasted to you."

A group of men with flushed cheeks drinking, Chen Changhai also felt quite accomplished.

Though cash on hand wasn’t much, as long as the policies eased a little, his chance to make money was near!

Not to mention, how many people had bought the reference materials he had offered during the registration?

Truck drivers each had a bundle, and they said that once released locally, they were quickly snatched up.

—These college entrance exam candidates really had money.

Chen Changhai had already recognized this as a sustainable and long-term business. He would have to connect with various universities; he couldn’t waste these relationships.

While drinking and dreaming of the future, suddenly a burst of crying came from next door—

To say it was crying, but not entirely. It was mixed with hysterical laughter, even the crying sounded quite joyful.

He immediately perked up:

"What’s going on?"

Spending so much time here, he had to maintain good neighborly relations!

He saw the old lady across the way with tear-filled eyes, accompanied by a young man holding a mail piece, tears also on his face.

Chen Changhai instantly realized—

The acceptance letters had arrived!!!

Seeing the nod, he only had time to say "Congratulations," and fueled by the alcohol, he wanted to rush out on his bicycle.

This was truly it!

He had checked every day but never found anything. Just as he planned to wait till next year, the letters suddenly arrived! It was all the fault of drinking that he didn’t hear the postman’s call. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

A few brothers hurriedly pulled him down in a chaos.

"Bro, Bro! Look at you, you’re so drunk you can’t walk straight, don’t ride. Let me go to the post office first to see if any mail came for your relatives..."

Chen Changhai grabbed some unmelted snow and rubbed it vigorously on his face, then impatiently said:

"I’m fine, you all keep eating, I’m going to check!"

He was still murmuring in his heart:

There are 7 candidates, all with He’an University as their first choice.

Even if by sheer luck, at least one should hit the mark, right?

Those materials really cost quite a bit of money; if they didn’t get in, he’ll have to reconsider the praise he gave those university professors for the quality of the materials.

Luckily, the bicycle wasn’t too dangerous, and he fumbled his way to the post office safely.

Blown by the cold wind, Chen Changhai’s mind cleared up.

The post office staff had already noticed him and promptly raised their voice:

"Xiao Chen, the names you inquired about seem to have mail, the postman left about half an hour ago."
