Chapter 1647: Good News Announced

Xiao Nianchun heard Liu Chuxue's words and thought it made sense.

Suddenly remembering something, she slapped her own forehead, the force so great that Liu Chuxue felt the pain.

Hearing Xiao Nianchun say with joy, "Such great news, I'll go call your grandfather right away; he'll surely be happy, and maybe in his happiness, he'll reward you with something."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue was torn between laughter and tears; if it were anyone else, they'd probably fear the grandfather's things would go to others, yet her own little aunt was utterly excited.

She bid farewell to Aunt Wei once more, turned, and walked out: "Coming here today was truly the right thing; with such great news, I must show it off properly."

Reaching the main gate, she forcefully pulled up the bicycle leaning against it: "I'm leaving first; I'll come by again when I have time."

Xiao Nianchun, too excited, nearly rode the bicycle into the wall when mounting it: "Little Aunt, be careful; watch your safety."

Already on the bike, Xiao Nianchun raised her right hand and waved behind her: "Don't worry, it's fine; go back now."

After watching her turn the corner out of the alley, she finally withdrew her gaze.

Xiao Nianchun, having left Liu Chuxue, stopped her bicycle near home, walked to the public phone booth at the street corner, and first dialed her eldest brother's house.

When someone answered on the other end: "Sister-in-law, it's me, Nianchun."

Zhang Haitang's voice came from the other end of the line: "Nianchun, did you call for something?"

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news? Could it be that you or Jinzhou got promoted?"

"It's not about my family; it's about Chuxue..."

She spoke too quickly and choked; Zhang Haitang on the other end grew anxious: "Just speak! What happened to Chuxue?"

"Eldest Sister-in-law, Chuxue got into Peking University."

"What? Got into Peking University? You didn't make a mistake?"

"I saw the admission notice with my own eyes; how could it be false?"

"Oh my, this is the greatest good news! Changjiang, Changjiang, come quickly! Your little sister-in-law says Chuxue got into university!"

Hearing his wife's words, Xiao Changjiang trotted into the room: "Really? She really got in?"

Zhang Haitang handed him the receiver: "If you don't believe it, ask Nianchun yourself."

Xiao Changjiang took the phone: "Little Sister, did Chuxue really get in?"

"She really got in, and into the best university, Peking University. Our family has produced a university student! When I heard the news, the first person I thought of was you; treat me to a good meal sometime."

Xiao Changjiang paced back and forth with the receiver, paying no mind to what she said, and mumbled an agreement: "Fine, fine, fine; I'll call our father and the others right away to let them share in the joy too."

"Fine, then you call them; I must hurry back to cook for the children."

After hanging up, a large head popped out of the phone booth: "Jinzhou's wife, who in your family got into university?"

Xiao Nianchun said with pride: "My niece, the one who used to be an accountant at the steel mill and later joined the army after getting pregnant."

"My niece is truly blessed; she gave birth to triplets with her first pregnancy, and now she's gotten into university, and what's more, Peking University."

Now even the neighbors passing by stopped: "Nianchun, your niece is extraordinary."

Hearing someone praise her niece, Xiao Nianchun's smile was impossible to contain: "Of course; my niece is indeed very excellent."

She had just finished speaking when she saw her son Qiu Yiming and daughter Qiu Yilin running toward her: "Mom, why are you so late? We're hungry."

Hearing them say they were hungry, Xiao Nianchun waved her hand: "Mom is in a good mood today; I'll take you all to a restaurant."
