Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)


                       I hoped I would  pass the examination too.  I


               waited and waited. Two weeks  later, I  got a  letter



               from the university. It was an admission notice. I had


               been admitted into the university. I ran to Xi Si and



               told her the happy news. Xi Si took me to see her


               mother and sister. Her mother smiled and agreed to



               let Xi Si marry me. Her sister smiled at me too. She


               said, “Soapy, you must be good to my sister. She has



               sacrificed  everything for you. If you let her down,



               your conscience will be condemned to guilt.”


                       “I swear, I will never disappoint her.”


                       The next day, Xi Si and I went  to the



               matrimonial agency to register and became legal as



               husband and wife.


                       Big Wang quickly learnt about it. She swore to



               break us up. She went to my dormitory twice, but I


               happened to not be there.
