The villagers all came to visit; this was indeed a joyous occasion. Before, it was just talk, but now the village chief's colored paper clearly stated that Bai Xiao had been admitted to university. It was posted on a red cloth for all to see, signifying the pride of their entire village.

In Liupan Village, having a college student was enough to give them something to talk about, even during discussions about their children's marriages—it was an advantage. Although it wasn't their own child who had gone to university, it proved that Liupan Village had good feng shui, nurturing its people.
