Chapter 219 is not a mistake
At first, when he received the admission letter from Peking University, he thought there was a mistake. After all, Xu Sui was already married and had a child. Her husband was an officer in the military, and she was going to take the child with her to live with him.
To my surprise, after carefully checking the address and name, I found that there was no mistake.
This is the Xu Sui he knew.
"Uncle Liu, you've worked hard. Come in and have a glass of water." Xu Sui reached out and took the admission notice. Looking down, she saw that it was indeed her belated admission notice. She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and invited him in.
Uncle Liu smiled and waved his hand, "It's no trouble at all. It's all for serving the people. I have other letters to deliver, so I won't bother you any longer."
No sooner had he left than everyone in the courtyard reacted and immediately stood up to surround Xu Sui.
Especially Old Lady Qin, when she heard the words "acceptance notice," she ran faster than anyone else, as fast as a rabbit despite her advanced age.
"Sui Sui, what did Lao Liu bring you? Did I hear that right?"
The matter was pretty much settled, and Xu Sui stopped hiding it and openly took out what she had.
"Grandma, it's an acceptance letter from Peking University."
Aunt Liu and Sister Ma, who lived in the same courtyard, also rushed to Xu Sui's side, surrounded her, and their eyes immediately fell on the things in Xu Sui's hands.
"An acceptance letter?"
"This really is an admission letter from Kyoto University!"
"This...this is impossible, Xu Sui, where did you get this?"
Ms. Ma works at the neighborhood office and is literate. When she saw the words above, her eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Old Mrs. Qin was overjoyed. She didn't know anything about Peking University, but these days, anyone who went to a university was considered a top student and an intellectual.
She slapped her thigh suddenly, "Oh my, I knew it! Sui Sui is destined to go to university. As long as she wants to take the exam, she can pass it anytime. Now, our Qin family has another university student. Yun Zhou is a university student, and Sui Sui is a university student. The young couple are both university students."
"In our county, how many couples are as well-matched as them?"
"Our Qin family's ancestral graves are truly blessed."
Upon hearing this, those around couldn't help but feel envious, but some were still skeptical and had doubts.
Aunt Ma was the first to bombard us with questions, "Sui Sui, didn't you drop out of school? You just gave birth and finished your postpartum confinement. How did you get into university?"
"We're all neighbors in the same courtyard, and nobody's heard you're going to take the college entrance exam, have they?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Besides, is it possible to get into university just by wanting to? You have to study hard and prepare for a year or two.
This year, out of all the young people in their entire compound, only one got into a junior college. When he was in high school, all the teachers praised his academic performance, but even he only got into a junior college.
A woman like Xu Sui, who had just given birth and hadn't been back to school for a long time, suddenly received a university admission letter, and it was the prestigious Peking University.
How is that possible?
Even if Xu Sui had taken the college entrance exam back then, she probably wouldn't have had this ability. In their small county, they've never heard of anyone getting into such a good university.
Grandma Qin glared at Sister Ma, "How can you talk like that? The acceptance letter has already been issued, how could it be fake?"
"Our Sui Sui started reviewing a long time ago. She always had good grades in school and is smart, so it's perfectly normal for her to get into university. Don't talk nonsense."
This person is always jealous of others, it's so annoying.
Xu Sui wasn't particularly angry; she put the admission notice away.
"The item is already here. You saw Uncle Liu, who works at the post office, deliver it to me. The name and address written on it match mine."
"If you really don't believe me, that's fine. After all, my going to university has nothing to do with you."
"Grandma, let's go back inside. It's getting quite sunny outside." After saying that, she didn't look at Sister Ma again and pulled Grandma Qin to go back inside.
Unlike Sister Ma, the other neighbors weren't suspicious of this or that. It was a rare and honorable thing for the compound to have a college student. Even if he wasn't family, he was still one of the people in their compound.
So, Aunt Liu and the others quickly followed, and immediately became warm and friendly.
"I knew it! We've watched Sui Sui grow up since she was little. She's definitely got the makings of a good student."
"Yes, Sui Sui's dad was a good student, but she's even better than him. She must have inherited that from him."
"No, we have to celebrate for Sui Sui properly. The university that Sui Sui got into is no ordinary university. It's in the capital and is one of the top universities in our country. We haven't heard of any child in our county getting into that university."
"She's brought honor to our entire compound."
Suddenly, the Qin family home became lively, with everyone in the courtyard heading to their house.
All they wanted was to see Xu Sui's Peking University admission letter. Not only did they go themselves, but they also brought their children along, hoping that the children could share in Xu Sui's good fortune and perhaps get into university in the future.
Sister Ma stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the bustling Qin family and Xu Sui surrounded by so many people. She felt terrible and couldn't help but stomp her foot.
I've never heard of a married woman with children being able to take the college entrance exam. It was one thing for Xu Sui to get into the grain depot, but now she's even gotten into Peking University, one of the top universities in the country.
Wang Yinhua is truly blessed.
Although her son is not very successful, her daughter is beautiful, married well, has a good job, and has now been admitted to such a good university. There are few people who are more successful than her.
The Qin family's house was small, with only a tiny space to stand.
So many people squeezed into the courtyard at once, all crowding around Xu Sui. It was so crowded it was almost unbearable, and the air was stuffy and stagnant.
"Sui Sui, how did you get into college? Tell me quickly, my grandson is taking the college entrance exam next year. You have experience, we're all neighbors, why don't you tell everyone?"
"Yes, Sui Sui, you and your husband are the most successful people in our whole compound. When you were little, I even held you in my arms. If you become successful in the future, don't forget your aunt..."
Neighbors who were usually not on good terms with each other have become very affectionate now, calling Xu Sui Sui by her nickname, and some even want to arrange betrothals between their children and Xu Sui's two newborn children.
