Wen Tang and her best friend Chi Yue stumbled upon a true and false heiress novel on a fiction website. Unlike typical stories of this trope, the two heiresses weren’t pitted against each other�...
Chapter 514 Gu Shuhe Part 1
After Gu Shuhe followed Shen Tingci to Hai City, because the child was young and because of the change of location, he naturally couldn't do his work.
But because he had his family with him when he first came to Hai City, Gu Shuhe was much happier every day than when he was in the county town.
As long as she wants, she can take her children back to her parents' home every day.
Gu Shuhe felt that this was the happiest thing.
And my mother-in-law is there to help.
But Chen Ying left after staying in Hai City for more than a year.
Because Shen Pengfei was transferred.
Originally, Shen Pengfei was in the county town, and Chen Ying would stay in Hai City for a while and then go back to the county town for a few days. The distance was short, and she was not tired running back and forth.
But Shen Pengfei was transferred.
The place where he had just taken office was several hundred kilometers away from Hai City, so it was inconvenient for Chen Ying to run back and forth, so she could only follow Shen Pengfei.
The family gets together during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Shuhe takes care of the child alone.
Fortunately, the child has grown up and can talk and walk, and her parents' home is close by, so she doesn't feel tired taking care of the child.
It's just... just a little boring.
She often took her children to Gu's house and let her children play with her three cousins.
The child has his own way of playing and doesn't require her to worry about anything.
Her mother and her eldest sister have endless gossip to talk about.
Chunhua and Huahua, who were taking care of the children, could also join in the conversation.
Gu Shuhe was originally a shy person and always loved to be alone.
I am not used to gossiping nowadays.
When the child was playing by himself, she could only hold her chin and stare blankly for a long time.
Gu Shuhe was so bored that he used to use his old ways of entertaining himself.
She took a pencil and drew page after page on the notebook, depicting the daily life of her children at home.
Especially those interesting pictures, she added her own imagination and expression techniques to make the pictures more interesting.
The album became thicker and thicker, and Gu Shuhe used his pen to record the beautiful scenes in life.
When Shen Tingci was packing up his things one day, he found her painting.
Turning the pages one by one, Shen Tingci was shocked by the beautiful records on them. He had never realized that his wife had such a talent.
Seeing him looking at her painting, Gu Shuhe felt a little shy and said, "I just drew it for fun."
Shen Tingci retracted his gaze from the painting and looked at her, his eyebrows and eyes were full of sincere praise, "Well painted!"
“It’s very childlike and natural.”
"By the way, do you want to go out to work?" Shen Tingci asked.
He thought that it would not be good to shackle Shuhe just because of a child.
Gu Shuhe was originally embarrassed by being praised, but when she heard about work, she fell silent.
She didn't have to work, but if she could work...
"What about Yunlan?"
"Although he can talk and walk, he still can't go to school."
"Besides...I also feel a little reluctant to part with him."
"If you want to go to work, you can find someone to take you there."
Since the announcement of the college entrance examination, all aspects have begun to relax. In their situation, they can also find an aunt to help.
"Let me think about it," Gu Shuhe couldn't make up his mind immediately.
She is not a hot-tempered person.
But she also asked Shen Tingci, “Then should I still go to work at the supply and marketing cooperative?”
"I don't know if the supply and marketing cooperative in the city wants me?"
"I don't know how much someone would charge if we find them to help take care of the kids!"
"If there are more, it seems that I might as well take care of them myself, otherwise I will give her the money I earn."
But Shen Tingci shook his head, “It’s different. You are so young. Just because you have less work today doesn’t mean you will have less work tomorrow.”
"Besides, the money for childcare is not measured by individual salary, but by our family income. Hiring a nanny to take care of the children is not difficult for us, but it allows us to have more time for ourselves, which cannot be measured by money."
"But if you're more inclined to spend time with your children right now, I still want to say thank you for your hard work."
"If you don't want to continue to work so hard, I'm willing to support you in whatever you do."
"If you're really worried, I can ask my mother to come over and help us for another year. When the child is older, we can hire someone else to help take care of him."
Gu Shuhe slowly confided, "When Yunlan went to my sister-in-law's house, he actually didn't need me much for a day."
"He has his own playmates and eats by himself. I am really bored a lot of the time."
Shen Tingci hugged her and whispered softly in her ear, "Go if you want to work!"
"But..." He let go of the person and raised the hand holding the painting, "I think you can continue reading!"
"Study..." Gu Shuhe didn't dare to think, "I have already given birth to a child, how can I study?"
"Isn't the college entrance examination now open to the public?"
Gu Shuhe looked at Shen Tingci in disbelief, "Let me take the college entrance examination?"
Shen Tingci nodded.
"...I," Gu Shuhe seemed a little frightened.
Shen Tingci took her painting and told her, "Your painting is too talented and should not be constrained by me and Yunlan."
"Take the college entrance examination and study hard, so that you can stand higher and further."
"Can……"
"Go secretly. If you fail the exam, just pretend you didn't pass. If you don't tell anyone and I don't tell anyone, no one else will know." Shen Tingci gave an idea.
Gu Shuhe was indeed very tempted by the idea given by Shen Tingci.
If she really passes the exam, she will be a college student.
If you fail the exam, no one will know unless you tell anyone. There will be no embarrassment or being laughed at.
"Then I... try?"
"Um!"
Gu Shuhe didn't tell Wen Tang and the others afterwards, and started to read books secretly at home. Shen Tingci helped her prepare a lot of test books.
Read books secretly and take exams secretly.
The day Lin Jingshen received the admission letter was the day when Lin Jiaojiao returned home, and Gu Shuhe and Shen Tingci were also at Gu's house.
Seeing that Lin Jingshen received the admission letter from Fudan University, Gu Shuhe became nervous unconsciously. She didn't know whether she had passed the exam.
She wanted to go back and take a look.
If you pass the exam, the admission letter should have been sent to your home!
It's a pity that she is not at home.
In order to keep it confidential, she didn't dare to say anything and decided to go home to see if she was accepted.
It would be great if I was admitted, but if I wasn't...
Well, forget it, forget it. If she is not admitted, it would be best if no one knows that she took the college entrance examination.
When no one was paying attention, Shen Tingci whispered in her ear, "We'll go back after dinner."
After dinner, Shen Tingci took Gu Shuhe and the child home on the pretext that he had work on hand.
There were no letters or anything like that at the door of my house.
Gu Shuhe felt lost unconsciously.
Although she always told herself that she would definitely not pass the exam.
But who doesn’t want to pass the exam?
Seeing that there were no letters or anything like that at the door of his house, Shen Tingci immediately asked, “Have you had enough for lunch?”
"How about I go down to the kitchen and make you something to eat?"
"I just learned a local dish. Can I make it for you?"
Gu Shuhe nodded.
After entering the house, Shen Tingci first put his sleeping son in his arms on the bed, then rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
Then he stood at the kitchen door and called out, "Shuhe, come and help me."
Gu Shuhe was packing books. Hearing this, he put down the book and said, "Yes, I'm here."
After that, Shen Tingci locked Shuhe in the kitchen, asking him to pick onions, then to help wash vegetables, and finally to watch him cook.
Just as a dish was out of the pot, someone knocked on the courtyard door. "Is the person at No. 3, Lane 9 here?"
Shen Tingci took off her apron, “I’ll go take a look!”
Gu Shuhe smelled the delicious food and did not object.
"Is Comrade Gu Shuhe here?" the postman asked Shen Tingci.
Before Shen Tingci asked, the postman had already told Shen Tingci with a smile, “This is Comrade Gu Shuhe’s admission letter.”
"Her address is here. Is she home?"
"This needs to be signed for in person!"
"Yes, yes..." Shen Tingci was rarely excited, "Shuhe, Shuhe..."
As soon as Gu Shuhe put the food in his mouth, he heard Shen Tingci calling him, and ran out without chewing.
She ran out with puffy cheeks, and was hugged by Shen Tingci excitedly, "Shuhe, you passed the exam, you passed the exam..."
Shen Tingci kept repeating excitedly.
Gu Shuhe was also dumbfounded.
Finally, it was the postman who broke the sweetness between the two. "Comrade Gu Shuhe, please sign here."
The two of them separated hastily, Gu Shuhe blushed, and Shen Tingci also blushed.
But one of them calmly signed his name, and the other calmly watched from the side.
After receiving the admission letter, Gu Shuhe read it over and over again, "Did you really pass the exam?"
She couldn't believe it and looked at the notice towards the sun above her head.
Every time she asked a question, Shen Tingci said "hmm" and gave her a positive answer.
The moment the courtyard door closed, Gu Shuhe took the initiative to hug Shen Tingci.
This was the first time that Gu Shuhe took the initiative in their relationship.
Although it was just an active hug, Shen Tingci's ears were still red.
“Thank you, Shen Tingci,” Gu Shuhe thanked sincerely.
Gu Shuhe wondered what her life would be like now if she hadn’t chosen Shen Tingci…
The camera turns to Shi Bin and his wife
Shi Bin has been married to his wife Liu Xiaoling for more than two years. Their older child is over one year old, and Liu Xiaoling is pregnant with another child.
The Shi family has not split up, and the brothers all eat from the same pot, so naturally they can't eat anything good.
Not to mention that she couldn't afford good food, Liu Xiaoling also had to work hard. Who made her unemployed? Her first child was a daughter!
The wedding gift was borrowed by Brother Shi Bin again.
The historian was not worried at all that Liu Xiaoling would act like a demon.
She just kept disliking Liu Xiaoling. "Look at this child you gave birth to. I don't know who she took after. She is so greedy. You should control her," said Shi Bin's mother.
Shi Bin disliked Liu Xiaoling's slovenliness and ugly appearance.
Liu Xiaoling was also a pretty girl when she first got married, but getting married, having children, doing housework, and getting pregnant so quickly made her exhausted.
Even girls in their early twenties have thin and yellow faces, and their hair is even duller.
There were even spots and fine lines on her face, which made Shi Bin even more disgusted with her.
The salary given is getting less and less.
Liu Xiaoling asked him, "I want to buy a new dress for Daya."
"Little girl, why do you need so many new clothes?"
"Can't you just alter those clothes that my sister-in-law brought over?"
Liu Xiaoling was so angry, "The clothes are all patched up, how can I change the clothes for Daya?"
“Where do I change it?”
"Besides, have you ever bought Daya a new piece of clothing since she was born?"
Shi Bin was still a man with some conscience, and when he was asked urgently, he took out some money.
But what was the use? After buying a piece of cloth, Liu Xiaoling saved two cents to buy biscuits for her daughter, and then she didn't see Shi Bin's money for half a year.
Because of the instigation of the eldest sister-in-law of the Shi family, Liu Xiaoling spent money recklessly and spoiled her children too much.
Just because Liu Xiaoling didn’t let her children take the cookies away.
——
Gu Shuhe suddenly woke up, looked at the people who had already gotten up, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a nightmare, a nightmare...
Fortunately it was a nightmare.
The next day, she went to Gu's house to tell Zhong Meixian and others the news that Gu Shuhe had been admitted to university.
Zhong Meixian didn't react when she heard the first sound, just like hearing Gu Shuhe say "Mom, I had fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast."
But after a while...
"You...what did you say?"
Gu Jinfeng was also a little bit unbelieving.
Everyone stared and waited for Gu Shuhe to say it again.
“I got into college.”
“It’s a little worse than the school in Jingshen, but it’s also in Haishi.”
"You...you were admitted to university?" Meixian couldn't believe it.
"Yeah!" Gu Shuhe nodded again.
Meixian raised her hand and touched her daughter's forehead. Her head wasn't hot, and she wasn't confused, but the words she said...
"You got into college?" She still couldn't believe it.
Gu Shuhe could only nod again.
Then he took out the wrapped admission letter from his bag and said, "Admission letter, take a look!"
Gu Jinfeng could recognize a few words, and when she saw it, she shouted happily, "Mom, mom, my little sister really passed the exam, she really passed the exam."
"We have a college student in our family, too. We have a college student in our family."
Meixian now really believed that her daughter had passed the exam.
Then she looked at her daughter once, then again, and finally said, "You are quite capable."
Gu Shuhe felt a little proud.
"Why didn't I hear you say that before?" Meixian asked.
Gu Shuhe felt embarrassed and said, "I didn't think I could pass the exam, so I didn't dare to say it."
Meixian asked again, "What do you do with your child?"
"No, you leave it here and I'll help you watch it?"
Wen Tang’s three children are all grown up, and Chunhua and Huahua are helping out.
Gu Jinfeng is there every day, and Zhong Meixian feels that one sheep is also good, and a group of sheep are also good.
Gu Shuhe shook his head and said, "I heard from Ci that we should also find an aunt to help."
"Is it easy to find?"
"I heard that he was looking for it."
Meixian didn't say anything more.
Wen Tang and the others were very happy when they knew that Gu Shuhe was admitted to university, and Wen Tang insisted on holding a graduation banquet for Gu Shuhe.
Then they had a meal at a state-owned restaurant.
Wen Tang gave Gu Shuhe another red envelope of 200 yuan and said, "Study hard. If you have any difficulties, just tell your sister-in-law."
Gu Shuhe refused the red envelope and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't have money. I haven't spent any of the dowry you gave me before. I have enough money!"
Wen Tang shook his head and said, "Take it. This is all your sister-in-law has."
Gu Shuhe: "..."
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
"good!"
Shen Pengfei and Chen Ying soon found out that Gu Shuhe was admitted to university.
Shen Pengfei couldn't come over, so Chen Ying came over with Shen Tingzhi and Shen Tingyu.
Chen Ying said to Gu Shuhe, "Since you are going to school, I will come to help you take care of the children."
Gu Shuhe was embarrassed, "But you still have Tingzhi and Tingyu over there..."
Chen Ying waved her hand and said, "They are almost thirty years old, what are they afraid of?"
"Yunlan is still young and needs someone to take care of him."
"Your father and I are worried about asking someone else to take care of it."
"A child this young can't speak clearly. What if the other party pinches or twists the child in private? You and Tingci are not at home during the day, so how would you know?"
