Volume 1 Chapter 852 Time Flies

What's more, although Gu Jinsheng is only ten years old, she has won awards every time she participated in dance competitions in the past two years.

It was even performed at the national television station's New Year's Eve Gala.

She will also have a solo dance at the New Year's Eve party this year. Which school wouldn't want such an honor?

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Sheng Wanyan nodded and left with the children. Yi Yi's skirts were all dirty, and the children were also dirty. There was no need for them to stay and continue the class.

"Very brave. Don't be afraid. Always be so brave in the future."

After getting in the car, Sheng Wanyan calmed Yi Yi down. Yi Yi felt relieved instantly when she heard that her parents did not scold her but instead gave her support.

"Mom, I was wrong for fighting, won't you scold me?"

"Fighting is wrong, but as long as you don't take the initiative to bully others, but fight to protect yourself, mom will only feel relieved."

After hearing this, Yi Yi immediately hugged Sheng Wanyan tightly. Sheng Wanyan knew that she was frightened today, so she patted her back and comforted her gently.

"Don't be afraid, you're doing great."

"Sister, don't be afraid. I'll beat him up next time!"

Maomao raised his fist. He was invincible in the compound, so he was not afraid.

Gu Tingxiao took a look at his youngest son and agreed in his heart, well, he is a good material for being a soldier.

As for Lai Lai, this was his first fight, and he preferred to speak with strength rather than violence, although violence is also a kind of strength...

It’s just that as the twins grow older, their personalities and habits become more and more different.

One ranked first in the monthly exam right after entering school, while the other would have fallen out of the top ten in the class if his own brother hadn't been watching over him and teaching him step by step.

The next day when Yi Yi returned to school, he really didn't see the boy who bullied him. He heard from everyone that his parents had arranged for him to transfer to another school.

Yi Yi doesn't care about these things. Except for attending classes, sleeping and eating, she spends all her time practicing dancing. She will perform a classical dance solo at this year's New Year's Eve party.

As the year draws to a close, the streets and alleys of Kyoto soon become ablaze with red, with lanterns hung high and New Year's couplets, lanterns, lucky dolls and all kinds of New Year goods sold on the roadside.

During the winter vacation, Yi Yi was personally supervised by Aunt Hu while she was about to perform a dance on stage. Uncle and Aunt Hu spent the New Year at Sheng Wanyan's house this year and was a good opportunity to supervise Yi Yi.

"Bend your legs a little. When you put the fan on your head, you should use it as a veil."

"Come on, open it slowly. Oh, and lower your waist a little lower."

"Where are you looking? Look at the audience in front of you and have communication!"

Aunt Hu was very strict in guiding Yi Yi's dancing, and no one at home dared to disturb her for fear that Yi Yi would be distracted.

Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao are very busy. The public security in Kyoto and other issues need to be properly resolved. When there are too many people, accidents may easily happen.

"Deputy Director Sheng, this is the invitation to tonight's New Year's Eve party."

"All the people from the state units will be there, including well-known skit actors, singers, etc. who will arrive to perform on site."

"Your daughter is the 33rd performer. It was decided by the higher-ups that young people represent the hope of China."

Sheng Wanyan nodded. Today was also the last working day of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' annual holiday, so Sheng Wanyan decided not to keep anyone.

"It's 3pm now, let's get off work and have a family reunion dinner together."

"Wish everyone a happy new year on my behalf, and distribute the gifts and red envelopes."

"Don't forget to ask all colleagues to go to the logistics department to collect everyone's New Year benefits."

"Yes, Happy New Year, Deputy Director Sheng."

Peng Yu smiled and said something auspicious, then took out the red envelopes and gifts that Sheng Wanyan had prepared and distributed them to his colleagues. Soon, cheers were heard from outside.

“It’s New Year’s Day!!!”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a late New Year holiday this year, and was still working on the last day of the lunar year, New Year's Eve. Sheng Wanyan also knew that everyone wanted to get off work early and go home to be with their families.

"Happy New Year, Deputy Director Sheng!"

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in a festive mood, and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity as everyone walked out of the gate. Children were holding candied haws in their hands, and children from every household went home to visit.

Sheng Wanyan did not go home but went to the compound to prepare for the performance at the TV station. Lai Lai Maomao basically stayed in the compound to play during the holidays, and tonight the whole family went to watch the performance together.

"No need to cook. The state has prepared a reunion dinner in the compound. Let's all go and eat together."

Now that the country is developing better and better, everyone's life is getting better and better!

"Old Gu! Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Lao Xu."

"Old Gu, your second granddaughter is amazing. She even performed on our national stage."

"No matter where you are, it's all the children's own hard work."

Grandpa Gu's laughter echoed throughout the compound. Life was getting better and better, and everyone had a smile on their face. When they met, they greeted each other and said auspicious words to each other.

Gu's father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law Gu, and Gu Tingxiao all came back from get off work. Everyone took their seats and raised their glasses to celebrate!

"Happy New Year! May our motherland become better and better!"

Ten years later:

As the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheng Wanyan stood on the stage to accept the honor from the state leaders and shook hands with them for photos.

Gu Tingxiao applauded his wife in the audience, looking at his wife on the stage with pride in his eyes.

As the commander of the army, Gu Tingxiao also went on stage to accept his medal. This national medal awarding ceremony was held under the attention of the world.

Lai Lai and Maomao are both in their second year of high school this year. Both of them study in key high schools. Lai Lai and Maomao are dressed neatly and gently, sitting upright in the living room watching their parents on TV.

A man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, looking very refreshing, youthful and energetic. He was walking back and forth in the living room, hitting a basketball in his hand.

“It’s very noisy.”

Gu Jinchen glanced at his twin brother, and Gu Jinli immediately took the basketball in his arms and sat on the sofa, bending one leg on the sofa, chatting with Gu Jinchen in a casual manner.

"When do you think I'll be back?"

"Come back to beat you up?"

A young female voice was heard from outside the door. The voice was very pleasant, like the voice of a lark, which made people feel calm.

"sister!"

Gu Jinli stood up and walked over with a smile, Gu Jinchen also stood up and walked over. Gu Jinsheng was standing outside the door in a white dance suit, her graceful figure and angel-like face were impossible to forget.

As he grew up, Gu Jinsheng became less and less like he was when he was a child, yet there were many ways in which they were exactly the same.

Gu Jinsheng smiled as he looked at his two twin brothers, who were about 180 cm tall, walking towards him. The next second, he threw the dirty clothes and schoolbag in his hands over to them.

"My dear brothers, please put my clothes in the washing machine and put my schoolbag back to my room. Thank you."
