I was busy from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth, and now the New Year is finally over. Time to get back to work.
After the New Year, Gu Xuanyi has obviously gained weight, it's visible to the naked eye!
"Liu Jiu, I'll go to training with you tomorrow night."
"What's wrong? Did the sun rise in the west?"
Liu Jiu looked incredulous. Was this really Gu Xuanyi?
"The sun didn't rise in the west, but fat started to ooze out from my brother's waist."
"Ha ha……"
Sanqi's words made Xuan Yi roll his eyes in anger, which made Gu Xuan Yu burst into laughter.
"Didn't you want to be a fashion designer? Why are you worrying about your figure now?"
Liu Jiu was quite puzzled, and Gu Xuanyi's thoughts were also difficult to understand.
"What do you know? If I design clothes myself and they don't look good on me, how can that be acceptable? I want to be an excellent fashion designer, and the most handsome fashion designer at that!"
Gu Xuanyi imitated a model's catwalk for a while, and he actually looked quite convincing.
"Alright, stop joking around. When school starts in June, you can't be lazy. You need to be healthy to do anything."
I'll be leaving Beijing in a few days. You're the eldest in the family now, so act like a big brother and don't let Liu Jiu take on the role of an older sister.
Gu Xuanyu's methodical way of speaking is becoming more and more like his father's.
"Brother Xuanyu, have you decided on a departure date? I looked at the map, and the place you're going to isn't too far; it'll only take a few hours by car. Ask Aunt Xiang to cook you lots of good food, otherwise, Brother Xuanyi needs to lose weight, and you'll become malnourished."
Liu Jiu knew that his uncle had arranged a new job for Xuan Yu, not far from Beijing, but in a small county town. His uncle said it would help Xuan Yu get a better feel for the local life.
“These are all just temporary solutions. What Xuan Yu needs most right now is to find a partner so that someone can take care of him.”
Sanqi felt that his sister was dating someone else, and that her way of getting along with Nanfang Ge hadn't changed at all.
Learning, exchanging ideas, and more learning!
"Sanqi, you're the youngest here, and you're the most worried. Even those with partners haven't said a word, what right do you, a little kid, have to speak?"
Gu Xuanyi rolled his eyes at Sanqi. This kid is so knowledgeable about dating; anyone who didn't know better would think he's very experienced.
“What’s wrong with the kid? Am I wrong? Our brother is already 23. Once he’s established his career, all that’s left is to start a family. Besides, our brother is working at the grassroots level now, and he needs a partner to support him in many things.”
Which is more convincing: a young man with a happy family and a harmonious marriage?
Sanqi has read extensively, and there are examples of this both domestically and internationally, okay?
"Alright, you win. You are the chief strategist of our Gu family, and you truly deserve it!"
Gu Xuanyi was completely convinced. He had been with Sanqi for so many years and admired his ideas and thoughts. His second uncle and aunt were not the kind of people who were so cunning, and he didn't know who Sanqi took after.
As the old saying goes, once you stick on some fur, it becomes a monkey!
"Sanqi is right, but brother hasn't met the right person yet. Relationships need to be taken slowly and can't be rushed."
Liu Jiu met the right person at the right time, but she's still young, and focusing her energy on her studies is definitely the right thing to do. Do things appropriate for your age, and don't let yourself have regrets in life.
During the Spring Festival, Gu Xuanyu also learned a lot about Mu Nanfang, including his personality, way of doing things, and thoughts. He and Liu Jiu were a perfect match.
Liu Jiu is straightforward and direct in his actions, but he also possesses a certain keenness. Mu Nanfang, on the other hand, is more tactful and considers things more carefully in his words and deeds, which complements Liu Jiu's shortcomings in this regard.
Most importantly, Mu Nanfang's feelings for Liu Jiu are the key.
It was a rare occasion for the brothers and sisters to get together, have a heart-to-heart talk, and discuss national policies and the direction of social development.
In families like theirs, you may lack ability, but you can't have a narrow vision. You don't have to achieve great things, but you can't do anything that damages the family's reputation or hold them back.
While Gu Ye and the others weren't paying attention, the children had actually grown up and developed their own thoughts and the ability to think critically.
"Second Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I have to walk this road sooner or later."
"You all know what you should and shouldn't do. Especially Xuanyi, you need to be a good older brother."
On the train platform, Gu Xuanyu finished speaking, picked up his luggage, and boarded the train. He felt reluctant to leave, a little apprehensive about the unknown, and anticipation for the future.
"Have a safe trip, call me if you need anything."
Bonnie waved her hand and loudly instructed him. He had lived by her side for several years; calling him her nephew was practically the same as calling him Sanqi.
"I will!"
Gu Xuanyu waved his hand without turning around, afraid that he would lose control of his tears.
The train sped forward, whistling all the way, until it was just a small black dot in the end.
"Let's go home. You'll be starting school in a couple of days."
Bonnie didn't worry about her children's studies; they were all hardworking and diligent, and their grades were quite good—remarkably so. This would be considered a statement by Versailles in later generations, and even now, it's something many people envy.
At home, Sister Xiang was already busy preparing lunch.
"Mom, Dad's busy again. He didn't even have time to take Xuan Yu to school today. I wonder if he'll get enough rest and if his stomach problems will flare up again."
Sanqi was worried. His father was over forty years old, had a bad stomach, and had suffered many injuries in the past. He would always have some kind of reaction on cloudy or rainy days.
