Chapter 17 The admission notice has arrived

As the four of them approached their house, they heard a commotion coming from the yard.

Su Erqiang peeked inside and quickly pulled the other three behind a haystack.

"what happened?"

Su Nuannuan asked curiously, and Su Daliang and Su Sanquan also looked puzzled.

Su Erqiang looked at the three of them with a solemn expression and said in a low voice.

“I just saw a lot of people from the village at our house.”

Upon hearing this, Su Daliang and Su Sanquan became anxious. Ever since they discovered the sweet potatoes on the back mountain, people had been coming to Su Jianjun's house to complain that their families had run out of food and hoped that the brigade leader could give them more sweet potatoes.

How could Su Jianjun possibly agree? But even though Su Jianjun disagreed, people still came to his door, some of them even throwing tantrums. Each time, it was Su's mother who had to step in and chase them away.

Now that they heard so many people had come to their house, they immediately had bad thoughts.

Su Nuannuan pulled back her three older brothers who were about to rush in and said to them.

"Let's hide the fabric we brought back first. There are too many outsiders in the house. If they see it, they'll start gossiping again."

Su Daliang and the other two listened and agreed.

They wrapped the scraps of cloth in burlap sacks and hid them inside the haystacks.

They stood up, dusted themselves off, and strode confidently towards their home. Su Erqiang even grabbed a stick from the doorway and led the way inside.

The three people behind him couldn't stop the impulsive Su Erqiang.

"Big brother, third brother, go and stop second brother, he's too reckless."

Su Nuannuan quickly called to her eldest and third brothers, and the two of them caught up with Su Erqiang and entered the courtyard. However, the two of them still couldn't stop Su Erqiang.

"What do you want to do!"

With a roar, Su Erqiang charged in, wielding a wooden stick.

The people in the courtyard, who had been all smiles, suddenly fell silent, their eyes fixed on Su Erqiang.

Su Daliang quickly realized that the people who came were all from families with good relations with the Su family, and judging from the current situation, they had clearly been talking and chatting.

Su Sanquan also noticed, smiled awkwardly at everyone, stepped forward, snatched the stick from Su Erqiang's hand, and threw it aside.

"Haha, Uncle and Aunt, you two chat."

After saying that, before anyone could reply, Su Daliang and Su Sanquan pushed the stunned Su Erqiang into the room.

Realizing he had misunderstood, Su Erqiang blushed and, following the force of the two men, walked towards the room.

Su Nuannuan entered the courtyard at this moment and happened to see what had just happened, a smile appearing on her face.

However, as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she found that everyone's eyes were fixed on her.

Feeling intimidated by the stares of so many people, Su Nuannuan took a small step back.

However, before she could even leave the courtyard, the previously silent crowd suddenly surrounded her, and the quiet courtyard began to become noisy.

“Nuan Nuan, you’re finally back…”

Before one of the aunties could finish speaking, another auntie pushed her away.

"Nuan Nuan, look at your figure, you've grown into a young lady, you can even kiss her now. What do you think of my Gangzi?"

"Pah, Su Hehua, your Gangzi hasn't come home for years. Nuannuan is such a good girl, it's a pity she married your Gangzi. My Hongjun is much better."

"Nuan Nuan, do you still remember me? I'm your sister-in-law Gui Fen."

……

Seeing Su Nuannuan being surrounded by the village women, Su's mother stepped forward and pulled Su Nuannuan out of the crowd.

"Hoo, ho."

Su Nuannuan, who had been pulled out, took two deep breaths and looked at her mother.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Su's mother didn't speak, but the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed her good mood. She stepped forward and said to everyone, "My Nuannuan is not yet an adult, so we'll talk about marriage later. I have to go to work this afternoon, so I won't keep you any longer."

After hearing what Su's mother said, the group didn't press the matter further. They talked with Su's mother for a while longer before leaving the Su family.

The three brothers, who had been hiding in the house, were stunned to see the older women who usually disliked their younger sister being so enthusiastic towards her.

Su Erqiang: "Did these aunties take the wrong medicine today?"

Su Daliang slapped Su Erqiang on the back.

"speak nicely."

Su Sanquan rubbed his chin with his thumb and forefinger and said.

"Something must have happened to my little sister that we don't know about?"

The Su family home was quiet again, and the three brothers came out of the house.

"Mom, what happened at home? Why are these aunties being so friendly to me?"

Su Nuannuan was genuinely curious.

Although Su's mother was well-liked, she wasn't to the point of being flattered by several aunties in the village. Don't think she didn't see it; several aunties were constantly saying nice things to make Su's mother happy.

Su Nuannuan was genuinely curious.

The three Su brothers are also included.

At this moment, Su's father came out of the house, holding a red envelope in his hand.

Su's father walked up to Su Nuannuan with a big smile, patted her on the shoulder, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Good girl, you are indeed my daughter, Su Jianjun's daughter."

After saying that, he handed the red envelope in his hand to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan looked at the thin layer of red paper sealed in front of her, thought of something, felt a little excited, and took the envelope with trembling fingers.

Open it, and inside is the admission letter from Beijing University!
Su Nuannuan was still thrilled to receive another acceptance letter from Beijing University. The difference this time was that her family was there to share her joy.

She stepped forward and hugged Su's father and mother, as if she wanted to share the joy of her past life with them, her voice slightly choked.

"Dad, Mom, I got in! I got into Beijing University!"

Su's father and mother also held Su Nuannuan in their arms.

They hadn't held out any hope for Su Nuannuan taking the college entrance exam. Unexpectedly, she actually got in, and into the best university in Beijing.

Thinking back to that morning, he was finishing work in the fields when the postman rode his bicycle to him to deliver his daughter's college acceptance letter, but he hadn't even realized it. It was only when his wife nudged him that he came to his senses.

From the moment he received his acceptance letter, he carried it with him at all times, afraid to leave it lying around for fear of losing this precious thing.

The three Su brothers also knew that Su Nuannuan had been admitted to a university in Beijing.

The three of them were also excited and happy, and stepped forward to join the group that was hugging Su Nuannuan.

After calming down, Su Nuannuan placed the admission letter from Beijing University in front of everyone.

"Nuan Nuan, may I take a look?"

Seeing her older brother's eager expression, Su Nuannuan handed it to him without any hesitation.

Su Daliang rubbed his hands vigorously on his body and accepted Su Mianmian's admission notice with trembling hands.

"Student Su Nuannuan, based on the needs of national development and your application preferences, you have been admitted to our school's Clinical Medicine program. Please report to Beijing University on September 1st."

Su Daliang read out the contents of the admission notice word by word.

A hint of envy and loneliness flashed in his eyes before he handed the acceptance letter to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, you must keep this safe. I heard that someone's university acceptance letter was stolen before the start of the semester, and their place in university was taken by someone else. You must not give it to anyone else."

Su Nuannuan nodded. In this era of limited information, it was incredibly easy to pull off some underhanded tricks. Moreover, cases of students being impersonated and having their university entrance exams stolen were commonplace at this time, and Su Nuannuan didn't want to be the next one.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely hide it well."
