1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1662: The effort wasn't in vain; I actually look quite refreshed.
Xia Qiu handed over the admission notice: "Grandpa, I really got in."

Grandpa Xiao reached out and took it: "Good, good, you sisters are all excellent."

Xia Qiu turned to look at Chu Xue: "If it weren't for Chu Xue teaching me high school knowledge, I wouldn't be where I am today. She always told me not to put down my textbooks, that opportunities are for those who are prepared. I just thought it was about finding a job."

But only today did I realize the profound meaning behind her words; they fulfilled my dream.

Miao Yiqiu smiled and said, "Reading can make you wise. Reading more books can not only broaden your horizons, but also fill your heart with strength. With your personality, a teacher's college is very suitable for you."

Grandpa Xiao was finally satisfied and waved his hand, saying, "Our family is celebrating two happy events. It's still before the Lunar New Year. I'll contact my old friends later and we'll invite them over for a few tables to celebrate with the sisters."

Just as Mr. Xiao was about to speak, asking if it was too high-profile, Old Master Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's just an excuse to get together, it's nothing."

He spoke with a straight face, but he was secretly overjoyed. This time, with everyone gathered together again, he had a lot to say. His two granddaughters had truly made him proud.

Before he could even send out his invitation, he received one from his old comrade-in-arms, just three days later.

The old man then changed his tone: "Second son, you're right. It's better to keep a low profile. Let's set a time for the family to go out to a restaurant for a meal."

Seeing how quickly the old man and son changed their expressions, Miao Yiqiu couldn't help but find it amusing: "Why aren't you inviting them anymore?"

The old man refused to admit defeat and said sternly, "It's better not to be so high-profile. Besides, the money saved can be used to give each of the two sisters a red envelope. Wouldn't that be more meaningful?"

Miao Yiqiu noticed that ever since the day her eldest son had the younger generation change their way of addressing him, the old man's personality had changed somewhat.

The next evening, the entire Xiao family gathered together again to celebrate for the two sisters. The two sisters received red envelopes from everyone as a blessing, and the family was filled with joy.

On the day Grandpa Xiao was going to attend a reunion with his old comrades, he got up before dawn and spent a lot of time getting ready, disturbing Miao Yiqiu's sleep. "If you didn't know you were going to a reunion with your old comrades, you'd think you were getting married today." Grandpa Xiao wasn't angry. "What do you think?"

Miao Yiqiu sat up: "It wasn't a waste of time; you look quite refreshed."

After breakfast, the old man said to Xiao's father, who was getting ready to leave for work, "After today's gathering, we'll go back to our ancestral home tomorrow. Once we've made arrangements, we'll send you a message. Before the start of the school term, both of your families can go back together. Then I'll have no regrets."

Mr. Xiao understood what his father meant: "I understand."

As soon as Xiao's father stepped out the door, he saw Du Juan running towards him: "Uncle, are you going to work?"

Mr. Xiao stopped pedaling and asked, "When did you get back?"

Du Juan and her husband went back to their rural hometown for the Spring Festival. She smiled and said, "We arrived home last night and received the notice this morning."

Mr. Xiao had just noticed the urgent letter in her hand and asked excitedly, "Which university did you apply to?"

Du Juan held up the envelope in her hand: "Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications".

As soon as Mr. Xiao said "good", Grandpa Xiao chimed in, "Not bad, not bad. Now let's see what those people say. I have three college students here. I'm much more low-key than them."

Mr. Xiao was at a loss for words when he saw a car stop outside the alley: "Dad, the car to pick you up has arrived."
