Chapter 1662: The Effort Wasn't Wasted; You Look Quite Spirited

Xia Qiu handed over the admission notice: "Grandpa, I really got in."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao reached out to take it: "Good, good, good. Both of you sisters are excellent."

Xia Qiu turned to look at Liu Chuxue: "If it weren't for Chuxue constantly teaching me high school knowledge, I couldn't have achieved this today. Before, she kept telling me not to put down my textbooks, saying opportunities are reserved for the prepared. I only thought I'd be able to find a job."

"But only today did I realize how heavy her words were; she directly fulfilled my dream."

Miao Yiqiu smiled: "Studying brings wisdom. Reading more not only broadens your horizons but also fills your heart with strength. Given your nature, a normal school suits you very well."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao was finally satisfied. He waved his large hand: "Our family has a double joy. Since we haven't passed the first lunar month yet, I'll contact my old friends in a while. Let's invite a few tables and celebrate for the two sisters."

Xiao Fu was just about to speak up, asking if it was too high-profile, but Xiao Laoyezi Xiao waved his hand: "It's just an excuse to gather. It doesn't matter."

He spoke very seriously, but his heart was so happy. Gathering together this time, he had plenty to talk about. These two granddaughters truly gave him face.

However, before his invitation could be sent, he received an invitation from an old comrade-in-arms, just three days from now.

Now the old master changed his tune: "Second son, you're right. It's better to keep a low profile. Let's set a time at home and have a meal at a restaurant."

Miao Yiqiu watched the old father and son change faces so quickly and couldn't help but find it funny in her heart: "Why not invite them anymore?"

The old master refused to admit defeat. With a stern face, he said: "It's better not to be so high-profile. Besides, the money saved can be used to give each of the two sisters a red envelope later. Isn't that more meaningful?"

Miao Yiqiu discovered that since the day the eldest son had the younger generation change their forms of address, the old master's personality had changed somewhat.

The next evening, the entire Xiao family gathered again. This time it was to celebrate for the two sisters. The two sisters received red envelopes and blessings from everyone, and the whole family was in harmony.

On the day Xiao Laoyezi Xiao went to attend the old comrade-in-arms gathering, he got up before dawn and spent a long time grooming himself, disturbing Miao Yiqiu until she lost her sleep too: "Those who know know you're going to an old comrade gathering; those who don't would think you're the groom today."

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao wasn't angry: "Look, how does it look?"

Miao Yiqiu sat up: "The effort wasn't wasted. You look quite spirited."

After breakfast, the old master said to Xiao Fu, who was preparing to leave for work: "After today's gathering, we'll return to the clan land tomorrow. Once we've made arrangements, we'll send word. Before school starts, you two families should come back together. Then I'll have no regrets."

Xiao Fu understood what his father meant: "I understand."

As soon as Xiao Fu stepped out the main gate, he saw Du Juan running over: "Uncle, are you going to work?"

Xiao Fu stopped his motion to pedal the bike: "When did you return?"

Du Juan and her husband had returned to their rural hometown for the New Year. She smiled and replied: "We arrived home last night. This morning, we received the notice."

Xiao Fu had just noticed the express letter in her hand and asked excitedly: "Which university did you get into?"

Du Juan held up the envelope in her hand: "Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications."

Xiao Fu had just said the word "Good" when Xiao Laoyezi Xiao took over: "Excellent, excellent. Now let's see what those people say. I have three university students. I'm being much more low-profile than them."

Xiao Fu didn't know what to say. Just then, he saw a car stop at the entrance of the alley: "Dad, the car coming to pick you up has arrived."
