Chapter 422 My Mother
"Mom, my composition won third place in the National Elementary School Essay Competition."
As soon as I got home, Gu Dong came to greet me with a bright yellow certificate.
"Really? Let me see it." Yu Hui parked her bicycle and reached out to take the certificate from Gu Dong.
Zheng Rong, Gu Hongmei and Gu Qiuyu heard that Gu Dong had won an award, so they came over to see.
"Dongdong won a prize for his composition. He's really talented."
"Congratulations to Gu Dong for winning third place in the 26th National Primary School Essay Competition. I hope he will continue to work hard in the future."
It really is a national competition.
"Dongdong, you are so great. Mom is proud of you." Yu Hui touched Gu Dong's chubby little face with joy.
The third place in the National Primary School Essay Competition is quite valuable.
Gu Dong was both proud and a little embarrassed. "There's a prize for third place: a pencil case and a pen."
He raised the pencil case in his other hand and opened it to reveal a Hero brand pen.
"Second brother, you will go to school after summer vacation. This pencil case and pen are for you."
"Are you really giving it to me? This is your prize, big brother." Gu Nan widened his eyes in disbelief.
Gu Dong nodded, "I have a pencil case and a pen, this is for you."
"Thank you, big brother." Gu Nan took the pencil case from his brother and hugged him again.
Seeing the two brothers being so friendly and respectful to each other, the adults all smiled with relief.
"Dongdong, what was your winning essay about?" Gu Qiuyu asked curiously.
"Yes, big brother, what did you write? Did you write that you have a cute little brother named Xixi?" Gu Xixi used her little hand to support her chin and make a flower shape.
Gu Dong: "I wrote that I have a very conceited younger brother named Xixi."
"Hmph, Xixi is not conceited, Xixi is cute." Xixi stomped her feet.
"Hahaha……"
The adults laughed out loud at their amusement.
Gu Hongmei pinched her nephew's fat and said, "Yes, yes, our Xixi is a little cutie."
"So, what exactly did you write?" Gu Qiuyu continued to ask.
She has never scored more than 20 points in her essays, and she really wants to know what kind of essay can win a prize in the national competition.
Gu Dong glanced at Yu Hui, scratched his head sheepishly, and whispered, "My mother."
"What?" Gu Qiuyu didn't hear clearly.
Gu Dong raised his head and summoned up the courage to say loudly, "My mother."
Everyone looked at Yu Hui. The mother that Gu Dong wrote about could only be her.
What is there to write about Lin Siyu?
If what you write is not positive, you definitely won’t be awarded.
"Is it written about me?" Yu Hui asked, pointing her finger at her nose.
Gu Dong nodded with a red face.
In fact, this composition was written at the beginning of the school year. The teacher gave him the full text and helped him submit it to the elementary school composition competition.
Zheng Rong: "Where's the composition? Go get it and read it to us."
"It's in the schoolbag. I'll get it right away." Gu Dong turned around and ran into the house.
Yu Hui carried Beibei into the main room. The whole family sat on the long chairs, waiting for Gu Dong to read his composition.
Gu Dong walked up to them with the composition, glanced at Yu Hui, cleared his throat and read aloud.
"My mother is not actually my mother. My brothers and I did not welcome her arrival at first..."
"...My mother was a hero, but she was more like a ray of light, illuminating our home and the young hearts of me and my brothers and sisters. She warmed us, loved us, and made us the happiest children in the world."
"Mom, you are the best mother in the world. I will always love you and respect you. I will be your shoulder to lean on in the future and be your son forever."
After reading it, Gu Dong raised his head nervously, not knowing whether his mother would like the composition he wrote.
But he found that his mother was looking at him with her hands clasped together, tears in her eyes, and Gu Dong felt panicked.
"Mom, why are you crying? Is it because I didn't write well?"
Yu Hui smiled and shook her head. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands and opened her arms towards him. "No, you wrote very well. Mom is moved. Come, let me hug you, my son."
Because Gu Dong wrote in his composition that his biggest wish is for his mother to hug him like she hugs his younger brothers and sisters.
"Mom." Gu Dong ran and threw himself into his mother's arms.
His mother's embrace was warm and had a faint floral scent, just as he had imagined.
Yu Hui patted Gu Dong's back gently and said in a warm voice: "Dongdong, Mom loves you too. I love all of you. You are all the most precious treasures in Mom's life."
Unknowingly, these children have become the joy of her life and an indispensable part of her life.
Maybe it was because she was an orphan in her previous life and never experienced the warmth of a family, so God let her travel here and arranged so many family members for her to let her feel the warmth of family and the love that her family brings.
"Mom, I love you too." Gu Nan hugged his mother's left arm.
"I love my mother too. Xixi loves her the most." Gu Xixi hugged her mother's right arm.
Beibei, who was held by Gu Hongmei, broke free from her aunt's arms and grabbed her mother's arm with her third brother.
"Beibei loves mom the most."
The children expressed the purest and most sincere love to their mothers.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Gu Qiuyu started crying.
Zheng Rong slapped her daughter and asked, "Why are you crying?"
What a warm and loving scene! She even started crying.
Gu Qiuyu pursed her lips and said, "I'm touched."
"Hahaha..." Everyone was amused by Gu Qiuyu.
To celebrate Gu Dong's winning essay, Yu Hui killed the last chicken that her sister-in-law and her family brought from the countryside and made fried chicken for him.
It was the first time for Zheng Rong and Gu Qiuyu to eat fried chicken like this. They thought it tasted great and was more flavorful and fragrant than stewed chicken.
If they didn't want to compete with the children, they would have wanted to eat a few more pieces.
After three days of careful consideration, Lin Siyu finally decided to ask Lu Tianyou out for a good talk.
The two of them agreed to meet at the park where they used to date. Lin Siyu arrived first. She was wearing a red floral dress, but it was not as bright and eye-catching as before.
The deep dark circles, sagging eye bags and pouches at the corners of her mouth made her look very old.
Lin Siyu sat in the pavilion, looking at the couples by the lake, and couldn't help but recall the sweet dates she and Lu Tianyou had here when they were together not long ago.
But now things and people have changed, which is really sad.
Just as I was sighing, Lu Tianyou came.
He was still wearing a white shirt and silver-rimmed glasses, but he had a hat on his head. His dark skin, stubbled beard, and greasy pimples on his cheeks made him look a bit sloppy, no longer as elegant and clean as before.
He hunched his back slightly, and his eyes behind the glasses glanced around, looking a bit vulgar.
Lin Siyu frowned. How could she fall in love with such a man?
