Yang Niannian's eyes suddenly lit up, "The notice has come?"
An An nodded heavily and looked at Yang Niannian with shining eyes.
"Aunt, the admission letter is at home. Go back and take a look. Dad said you were admitted to the university."
Yang Niannian gave the bicycle to Lu Ruoling to push. She picked up An An and kissed him several times on the face.
"Auntie is very happy today. I will make you something delicious when I get home."
An An's face turned red, and she struggled to get out of her arms. She shyly covered her face and said seriously, "Auntie, don't be so enthusiastic. It's not good if someone sees us."
Yang Niannian seemed to see the shadow of Lu Shishen in An An, and she giggled.
"Okay, I won't kiss you anymore. When will your dad come back?"
An An's expression became lively again, "I came back this morning. He said you would be back this afternoon, so I have been waiting for you here."
Yang Niannian guessed that Lu Shishen had called home. She rubbed An An's little head and said, "Let's go home and take a look."
An An let out a happy "Oh" and ran ahead excitedly. His short legs seemed to have motors installed and he ran with great speed.
Lu Ruoling's head was buzzing and her mouth was wide open enough for an egg to fit in.
When did my second sister-in-law take the college entrance exam?
She didn't dare to ask, and just followed the two of them stupidly, pushing her bicycle.
Several military wives were chatting in the yard, and they were not surprised to see Yang Niannian coming back. An An had been calling her from morning to afternoon, and the scene was so grand that no one in the entire military family compound didn't know that Yang Niannian was back today.
They all knew that Yang Niannian was returning to her hometown to attend a funeral. No matter how good their relationship was, they still had to greet each other for such matters.
Several military wives surrounded Yang Niannian, asking questions one after another.
"Niannian, how come you're here just a few days after you went back to your hometown? Your mother-in-law hasn't even passed the seventh day of her death yet, right?"
"Your mother-in-law was fine the last time she came here. How come she died suddenly?"
"I heard that you drank rat poison. Was it because you were angry with your sister-in-law?"
"It seems that Captain Lu is back from field training. Is he going to ask for leave to visit his hometown?"
"The dead cannot be resurrected, so you should also mourn."
Yang Niannian's eyebrows twitched, and she stared at them with a strange expression, "What are you talking about? My mother-in-law can eat and drink well, and she's alive and well. Why should I wait for the seventh day?"
Lu Ruoling was also confused. When they came to Haicheng, her mother was still fine.
These people are so bad that they actually cursed her mother to death. Even if her mother is unreasonable, sarcastic, stingy, and a little immoral, they can't curse her mother to death!
When she came to Haicheng, her mother gave her five yuan.
The military wives were stunned and asked with wide eyes.
"Didn't your mother-in-law drink rat poison?"
Yang Niannian curled her lips and said, "She just ate rice mixed with rat poison by mistake. She is fine."
The military wives were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into, because it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
"Hehe, Nian Nian, I'm sorry. Look how embarrassing this has become... Don't take it personally! We are not cursing your mother-in-law."
"Yes, it's all because of the children spreading rumors..."
Yang Niannian also guessed that it might be the child who passed the message and got it wrong, causing such a big mistake. She shook her head to indicate that it was okay.
A military wife tried to change the subject with an awkward expression.
"An An was telling everyone early this morning that you were admitted to university. Is that true?"
Another military wife said, "How many words can a child recognize? He must be shouting nonsense!"
They just comforted Yang Niannian by saying "I mourn for you", but that was just a polite remark. What they were most curious about was whether Yang Niannian had been admitted to university.
An An was shouting in the morning, saying that Yang Niannian was admitted to university.
Everyone was skeptical at first, but now they were more confident and concluded that An An was just shouting nonsense.
Look, even Ma Xiuzhu was full of life and energy, but he could still shout her to death. Can you believe that she can be admitted to university?
The university is not run by Captain Lu, so anyone who wants to enter can enter.
Seeing the gossipy expressions of the military wives, as if they didn't believe she could pass the exam, Yang Niannian shook her head pretending to be ignorant.
"I don't know. I haven't even entered the door yet. Let's go back and take a look first."
A military wife focused her attention on Lu Ruoling. She looked Lu Ruoling up and down and asked.
"Niannian, how many sisters do you have in your family? This one is also your sister, right?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Yang Niannian. It was only after the military wife reminded them that they noticed that there was a girl pushing a bicycle standing in front of Yang Niannian.
One of the military wives laughed, "What are you looking at? This girl doesn't look like Nian Nian at all. She's definitely not her sister. Even if she is, she must be a relative."
Lu Ruoling has darker skin than Lu Shishen. She is not fat, but has a big frame. She looks a few years older than Yang Niannian.
They have all seen Yang Huiying. Although she doesn't look like Yang Niannian, at least she looks pretty good.
Looking at the girl in front of him, she has rough skin and small eyes, which is very different from Yang Niannian.
Lu Ruoling felt a little embarrassed being stared at by everyone, and she stood next to Yang Niannian without daring to say a word.
Yang Niannian introduced, "She is Shi Shen's sister."
Everyone was surprised, "Lu, Captain Lu's sister?"
"Aunt, why are you still standing here?" An An ran home, but didn't see Yang Niannian following her, so she ran back panting.
"I am here."
Yang Niannian responded and explained to the military wives, "Ruo Ling just got here and is not familiar with everyone yet. He is a little shy. We will go back first."
After saying that, he took Lu Ruoling back home.
Several military wives looked at Lu Ruoling's back and started discussing, "Why doesn't Captain Lu look like her sister at all?"
"His sister doesn't look like his parents either."
"A nephew takes after his uncle. His sister probably looks like his uncle."
"Who cares who she looks like? I'm just curious, did Nian Nian get into college?"
"Can you believe what the child says? If you believe him, Captain Lu's own mother has passed the seventh day of mourning."
"What's the point of guessing here? Let's go to her house and take a look."
The military wives became more and more excited as they talked, and no one knew who started it, but they all walked towards Yang Niannian's house.
Yu Hongli saw a group of people passing by her house, so she curiously chased them out and asked, "What are you doing?"
"An An said that Captain Lu's wife was admitted to university. Let's go and see her." said a military wife.
Yu Hongli curled her lips and said, "You believe what the child says. How many characters does he know? Has he ever seen what a university admission letter looks like?"
"Who knows? Let's go and see."
Several military wives twisted their hips and walked towards Yang Niannian's house in a mighty procession. Yu Hongli hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed them.
Yang Niannian was sitting on the bed at this time, looking at the admission letter from Peking University. She was admitted to Peking University with the fifth highest score in the city.
To be honest, she was a little surprised. There were so many smart people in this era, and she thought she could get first place.
An An asked with sparkling eyes, "Aunt, did you get into college?"
Yang Niannian's eyes narrowed into crescents, "Not only did Auntie get into college, she got into a very good university."
An An was so happy that she jumped around on the spot, and said a little aggrievedly, "Aunt, I told you that you got into college, but no one believed me and said I was talking nonsense."
