Chapter 256: Read the Notice Overnight
Zhuang Chaoying and his family are having dinner.
Hongbin cooked porridge, but he didn't control the heat well, so the porridge became burnt. In the evening, the family ate the rice crust porridge with side dishes, which had a unique flavor.
"Brother Bin, I don't think cooking it specifically can produce the same taste as yours." Pengfei thought it was really delicious.
"Thank you for comforting me!" Hong Bin said helplessly.
"Haha, no, I'm serious, it smells really good."
Zhu Xiuyu said worriedly, "Hongbin! You can't read while cooking. You have to watch the fire. Burning the porridge is a small matter, but a fire is a big deal."
"I understand, Mom. I will pay attention next time." Hongbin responded quickly.
While we were eating, the child of the owner of the convenience store across the alley came running to the gate and called out, "Director Zhuang, Director Zhuang, Brother Tunan called and asked you to call back."
The whole family was stunned for a moment, and everyone seemed to sense something.
The convenience store across the alley just installed a telephone this summer. Tuanan doesn't live here, so he will call if there is anything.
But this time, everyone felt different, so everyone went to make a phone call.
Zhuang Chaoying felt his palms sweating. The phone rang once and then he answered it. It was Tunan's voice on the other end:
"Dad, I received the admission letter from Tsinghua University."
Zhuang Chaoying was so excited that he choked up and said, "Good, good, that's great."
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Zhuang Chaoying nodded heavily and could no longer speak.
"I received the notice!" Pengfei said happily.
"Of course, brother, I'm very cautious. I won't tell you until I'm 100% sure." Hongbin agreed.
"That's great!" Zhu Xiuyu patted her son's arm.
She was a little worried at first, but now that Tuanan has succeeded, she believes in Huang Ling, so Hongbin will definitely succeed too.
"Director Zhuang, congratulations! Congratulations!" The owner of the convenience store had long known that his family had two prospective college students, and it looked like one of them was already settled.
"Ah, Tsinghua! Tsinghua!" Zhuang Chaoying said heavily.
Zhuang Chaoying felt as if he was falling into a fog.
He took two steps away, and Pengfei reminded him, "Uncle, the phone bill."
"Oh! Phone bill." Zhuang Chaoying felt around in his pocket but found there was no money.
He didn't go out during the day and took classes at home, so he didn't have any money in his pocket.
When Zhu Xiu Yu saw this, she started to take out money.
The boss waved his hands quickly, "Director Zhuang, no money, no money. Our Aquan received a call from a Tsinghua University student! He's so lucky! He'll get into Tsinghua University in the future!"
"Yes, yes, of course I can. Thank you, boss!" Zhu Xiu Yu thanked with a smile.
The family then went back.
When he got home, Zhuang Chaoying did not go into the house, but went to push his bicycle.
"Are you going to find Tunan?" Zhu Xiuyu asked.
"Well, I want to take a look to feel at ease." Zhuang Chaoying nodded.
"Then go quickly! It's late and other people are resting at home." Zhu Xiuyu looked up and down, "Wait, change your shirt first."
She hurried back to the house and got a clean shirt for Zhuang Chaoying to change into.
They went to the military family compound and called. Although Huang Ling invited Zhuang Chaoying to her home, he did not go in. So Tuanan took Xiaoting to the gate of the military family compound to give him the admission notice.
"Dad!" Xiaoting called out in a clear and confident voice.
"Hey, Xiaoting." Zhuang Chaoying responded.
Zhuang Chaoying hadn't seen Xiaoting for a while. She now looked fashionable and elegant, with a firm look and a bit of alertness in her eyes.
He was a little unrecognizable.
She was no longer what Zhuang Chaoying had imagined.
Tunan handed over the admission letter.
Zhuang Chaoying took it tremblingly, and looked at it carefully under the street light at the entrance of the military family compound. After a long while, he said:
"This notice is really good. It also includes the registration requirements and a list of items to bring. It's really good, really good."
"Well, don't worry, Dad! Now we are just waiting for Hongbin's notice. Ask him to call me as soon as he gets the notice! Oh, Mom asked Hongbin and Pengfei to come to our house to play tomorrow." Tuanan answered with a smile.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, you two should go back!" Zhuang Chaoying looked at it again.
"Dad, please be careful when you ride your bike back." Xiaoting expressed her concern openly.
"Okay, okay, Dad gets it."
Zhuang Chaoying was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned back to the two siblings.
"Tunan, Xiaoting, your grandparents were asking about you a few days ago. I thought, now that you've received your acceptance letters, you should go back to your grandparents' house to make them happy. It's been a while since we've had any happy events at home."
"Okay, Mom has invited Aunt Song and the others to come to our house tomorrow, so I plan to go the day after tomorrow."
Tuanan was talking about "I", he didn't plan to bring Xiaoting with him.
Zhuang Chaoying, still excited, did not pay attention to this and rode his bike back.
As the two siblings were walking back, they met the two children from Commander Feng's family. They were there to see their admission letter from Tsinghua University.
Brother Feng Yusong said, "Tunan, let's go together when school starts. There will be someone to pick us up after we get off the train, so we can take you to school."
My younger sister Feng Yumei also said, "You can come to our school and hang out there, and we can come visit you. It's great to have someone we know."
The two will be graduating at the start of the school year and are already arranging their jobs. They will most likely stay in Beijing to work.
"Okay, Brother Song, Sister Mei, I'll come to you once the departure time is set." Tuanan agreed readily.
These two people liked Huang Ling very much. Whenever they came back from winter and summer vacations, as long as the leader's mother was not at home, they would definitely stay at Huang Ling's house for several meals.
Everyone walked home and separated at the intersection.
Xiaoting asked Tunan: "Brother, I will go back to the banker's house with you the day after tomorrow."
Tunan hurriedly shook his head: "You don't have to go, I'll just go for a while, sit for a while and come back soon, I won't stay for long."
"I have to stay with you. You have such a good personality. I'm afraid they will bully you and you will suffer." Xiaoting was very determined.
"I will go with Pengfei then. He won't let me suffer any loss. Besides, oh, I am so useless in your eyes!" Tuanan looked at his sister.
He knew what it would be like to go back to the dealer and anticipated what they would say, so he wasn't worried.
"If I don't go, they'll catch me and scold me for a long time, and I'll sneeze for a long time! If I go, they won't say anything, and I'm not afraid of them."
"Yes, yes, yes. My sister is now unbeatable in No. 1 Middle School," Tunan laughed. "I'm afraid Mom won't agree. She loves you and is afraid you'll suffer."
"Well, I'll ask her. If she really doesn't agree, I won't go. Brother, don't take the notice over. Just take the brown paper bag containing the notice. I heard that if the notice is destroyed, I won't be able to go to school." Xiaoting suggested.
The name, address, welcome message, etc. on the paper bag were enough to prove that it was Tunan who got the admission letter.
Tunan nodded in agreement. "The little girl is quite thoughtful. I know. When we get home, I'll ask Mom to put it away. At most, I'll show it to Aunt Song and the others tomorrow. I won't take it out again until we leave."
The next day, Huang Ling's house was bustling with activity all day long, as everyone came to congratulate Tuanan on getting into university.
Huang's father and mother also rushed to Suzhou from Changzhou.
Mr. Huang is well-educated and is very happy to see his grandson go to a good school.
