Ning Ge and the others were busy figuring out how to get rid of the big mouse, while Cheng Su and their little family life went on in a simple and fulfilling manner, and with Xiao Yun around, the days were filled with laughter and passed quickly.
anwhile, over at Qi Taiguo’s side, the days were filled with training new recruits, with increasingly heavy tasks. Everyone grumbled about it, but had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure.
On the last day of July, a congratulatory call ca from back ho—Qi Jianguo had been accepted into university and had received the admission letter.
The university wasn’t close by, but coincidentally, it was right in Guangcheng.
Upon hearing the na of the university, Cheng Su nodded secretly. Although it didn’t match renowned institutions like Yanjing University in the Capital, the university that Qi Jianguo got into was still one of the best in Guangcheng.
Aside from Cheng Su, an outsider, Qi Jianguo was the only one in the Qi family to get into university. Indeed, even his twin, Qi Fengping, didn’t make it and failed the entrance exam.
Getting into university was like crossing a single-log bridge with thousands of others, fiercely competitive. So, Qi Fengping not getting in didn’t dampen the Qi family’s happiness at all. In Mother Qi’s eyes, as long as a woman could read and write a bit, why did she need a university education?
Moreover, Qi Fengping had already completed high school, could graduate, and find a good job. Whether she got into university or not didn’t matter; what mattered was that her brother did, which was truly sothing to glorify the family na.
In those days, getting into university was difficult, making it a remarkable achievent worth celebrating. In Mother Qi and the others’ opinion, they should hold so banquets and invite everyone in the village, along with friends and relatives, to join the celebration, as it was prestigious.
"The days in August are good, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s set up so banquets. Taiguo, can you get so free ti to co back?" Father Qi asked.
Qi Taiguo said he might have to prepare for an assignnt during the festival and might not have ti. He then turned to Cheng Su and said, "Can you make ti to go back?"
Father Qi looked a bit disappointed upon hearing that. The youngest son getting into university was a reason for the family to gather and celebrate with a al, as it was a joyful event. But, he also knew there was no choice, since the eldest son was in the military and had difficulty leaving.
"If your wife is free, let her co back. This is a big joyous occasion, she should co for the celebration al," Father Qi said.
"Alright, I got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Qi Taiguo looked at Cheng Su and said, "They said they’re having so banquets on August 13th and asked you to go back for the celebration al. So..."
Cheng Su pondered for a mont and said, "Since you can’t go back, I’ll return then. Xiao Yun and the others might be going back as well, so we’ll go together at that ti."
Getting into university was a joy for his younger brother. Qi Taiguo, as the eldest brother, couldn’t return because he was in the military and couldn’t leave. If she, as the sister-in-law, didn’t go back, it might be frowned upon, leading to gossip. So, it was decided she would go back.
Qi Taiguo sighed in relief and said, "Alright. In that case, you’ll probably have to stay at ho for a few days. Help out if you can, and if you can’t, don’t worry about it."
Cheng Su understood what he ant and said, "Got it. If it’s sothing that can be solved with money, I’ll use money to solve it. The rest doesn’t matter."
Qi Taiguo grinned and said, "Exactly, money is a great thing."
"Of course!" Cheng Su added, "Tomorrow is Luh Kai’s wedding. Co back from the army in the afternoon and let’s go to the wedding banquet!"
"Alright!" Qi Taiguo nodded just as a ssenger ca over to call him into formation.
