The surprise ca so suddenly that Kang Yiyang stood in the middle of the living room, stunned for a while, before breaking into a smile, "Little aunt, is this really true?"
Kang Li nodded with a smile, "Mhm."
"Grandpa! Grandma! Did you hear that? I’ve been admitted to the North City Cultural Workgroup, and the director even took notice of and asked to audition!" Kang Yiyang was still a boy at heart, and the good news made him so happy he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.
"Silly boy! Can’t you be a little more composed?" Kang Li laughed, "You’re eighteen now, an adult. You need to learn to be steady and calm in the face of things. Otherwise, people will think you’re a big dummy."
Captain Kang and his wife laughed out loud.
Kang Yiyang’s smile faded, grievance filling his voice, "Little aunt, I’m not a dummy, let alone a big dummy, I’m sharp!"
Before Kang Li could reply, Milk Bun Ming Han chid in, "Mom, is big cousin going to be a movie actor?"
"That’s not certain yet, but your big cousin went to audition for the North City Cultural Workgroup this noon, and just now the Team Leader of the workgroup called our house to say your big cousin was accepted. Aren’t you happy?"
Kang Li watched the twins with a smile beaming in her eyes.
"Happy!" The twins spoke up together with their cute baby voices, followed by seal-like applause, "Big cousin is aweso!"
"Just so-so."
At this juncture, Kang Yiyang beca modest.
"Give a call to our hotown, let the family share the joy. Also, make a call to your little uncle. Everyone must know about this happy event today," Kang Li said.
Upon hearing this, both Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen agreed.
"Then I’ll call ho right now, and regarding little uncle, I’ll call him when he’s about to get off work." If his parents knew that he had been admitted to the North City Cultural Workgroup and it was a formal position, they would surely be thrilled!
Captain Kang said, "At this ti, your parents are still working in the fields and haven’t co ho yet. They won’t be able to answer your call."
Cai Xiufen said, "Then let Yangyang call after he gets off work."
Kang Yiyang smiled and complied, "OK, I’ll listen to grandma."
As it neared the end of work hours, Kang Li called her brother Kang Guoan. Once the other end answered and she recognized her brother’s voice, Kang Li began, "Little brother, it’s . I’m calling you first to tell you so good news, and also to ask if everything’s alright with you."
Kang Guoan replied, "Everything’s fine! The leaders talked to , said the Yang Family people were all transferred to a city in the south. Tell mom and dad not to worry about that crazy woman coming to my work to bother anymore."
"Alright, I’ve got it. I’ll tell mom and dad," Kang Li said cheerfully, "The good news I have is that Yiyang went to audition for the North City Cultural Workgroup today at noon, and just a little while ago I received a call from the Cultural Work Troupe saying Yiyang was accepted. And it’s a formal position! Plus, a movie director has taken a liking to Yiyang and wants him to co for an audition tomorrow!"
"Yiyang is really amazing, tell that kid I said congratulations!"
Kang Guoan was truly happy for his grandnephew.
"He’s right beside , I’ll tell him right now." Kang Li held the receiver, turning to Kang Yiyang, "Your little uncle is congratulating you!"
Kang Yiyang casually said thanks.
"Little brother, you must have just gotten off work, right?" asked Kang Li.
"Yeah, I’m just tidying up my desk, getting ready to go back to the dorm to grab my lunch box and head to the canteen for food."
"Then hurry on, and rember to call if there’s anything."
