Chapter 126 Complete Disappearance
A medal, a first-class merit medal, was placed neatly in the box.
The First Class Medal of Merit is the highest commendation medal in the army. It is also Luo Yongnian’s highest honor, representing his years of hard work and dedication in the army.
Gu Yimin felt that the small box was too heavy for her to hold.
Gu Erhui reached out and carefully touched the medal, saying, "I think he's... quite nice. He even gave such a valuable gift, which shows his sincerity. My father once said that many soldiers died on the battlefield and never received first-class merit."
Luo Yongnian must have paid countless wounds and blood to receive the First Class Medal of Merit. This gift is truly precious.
Gu Yimin closed the box and carefully put it in her pocket. Her hand couldn't help but reach in and touch it. She never thought that Luo Yongnian would give such an expensive gift.
My heart is a little confused...
After Gu Siqing learned about this after school in the afternoon, she thought that Ye Chi was good at flirting, and Luo Yongnian was no less so. If he didn't make a move, it would be fine, but this time he made a move that was powerful.
Gu Yimin carefully put the first-class medal away, then said nothing, continuing to do what needed to be done. Gu Siqing and Gu Erhui didn't ask much. Matters of the heart were the most complicated. Ye Chi and Luo Yongnian were both good, but it all depended on what Gu Yimin chose.
Choosing different people will lead to different lives. There is no good or bad, it just depends on what kind of life she wants to live.
The days passed as usual. Luo Yongnian went to the military academy and never came back. Ye Chi came once, but he was in a hurry. He said he was going to be transferred to Kyoto and was busy with the handover.
Business is still good. The house has been renovated. It took two or three months, but everything looks brand new. It is a pleasure to look at, let alone live in.
After seeing the decoration of the Gu family, Han Deyi also started to renovate their house, so the Han family temporarily moved to the backyard of the Gu family.
Living in the same house made it easier for Gu Siqing and the two Han brothers to play together. Han Zhengyang was told not to live in the same room with Gu Siqing, otherwise he might end up squeezing into Gu Siqing's bed.
That day, Han Zhengyang brought over a newspaper, pointed at a section, and said, "Look, imitating you is shameless."
Gu Siqing took the newspaper and read it. It was the "China Youth Literature Journal". Han Zhengyang was referring to a serialized novel called "Growing Pains".
Gu Siqing took the newspaper and read the novel carefully. What should I say? It was indeed written in imitation of her "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled".
Gu Siqing thought it was nothing, a very normal thing. Her novel, Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled, was becoming increasingly popular with readers. According to Yu Jianbai, their newspaper sales had increased significantly because of her novel.
In this case, it would be strange not to be imitated.
Let’s take a look at this article “Growing Pains”. The writing is sophisticated and the sentences are beautiful. In terms of writing style, it is completely different from hers.
In order to show that she is indeed a nine-year-old child, Gu Siqing deliberately uses straightforward language and even some childish words when writing.
Compared to her novel "Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled," Gu Siqing said that "Growing Pains" has its own merits. However, her novel is more in tune with the psychological world of children, while "Growing Pains" is more dramatic.
However, another article below the novel gave her some opinions on "Growing Pains." This article vigorously promoted the author of "Growing Pains" Shi Lan, saying that her real name was Shao Yunhan, she was just a nine-year-old elementary school student, came from a scholarly family, and had been excellent since childhood, etc. The whole article was full of flattery.
Gu Siqing had no opinion of Shao Yunhan's background or her talent, but she was skeptical that she was only nine years old. The writing style of "Growing Pains" was definitely not that of an elementary school student; even an ordinary adult would probably not have such a writing style.
Is it a ghostwriter?
But it has nothing to do with her.
At this moment, the Xia family in the Kyoto government compound was filled with laughter. An elderly man in his sixties, sitting in the main seat, held up a newspaper and said with a smile, "I never thought our Hanhan could write such an article at such a young age. Your grandfather also said that our Xia family once had someone who passed the imperial examination. I never thought that Hanhan's generation would produce another literary star."
Shao Yunhan sat there smiling with pride; she loved being called a member of the Xia family. Xia Yuan also looked proud. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect this child to have such literary talent."
"Well, you have to train him well." said Old Lady Xia, who was sitting in the upper seat.
Xia Yuan took a sip of tea from the cup and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely train him vigorously and won't let his talent go to waste."
Old Mrs. Xia smiled and nodded.
"But I think 'Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled' is better. The stories it tells seem to be happening around us." Xia Mingzhe said with a pout.
He was the same age as Shao Yunhan, but the two of them had no good relationship at all. He was from a branch of the Xia family, and Shao Yunhan, a granddaughter of the Xia family, always looked down on him because she considered herself a member of the Xia family.
Another child next to Xia Mingzhe also said: "I also think 'Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled' is better."
Shao Yunhan no longer had the happiness she had before. She had a cold face, pouted her lips and said nothing.
Xia Yuan was also unhappy, but of course she wouldn't show it on her face like Shao Yunhan did. She smiled and said, "'Whose Childhood Wasn't Troubled' is also well written. Hanhan is still young and has room for improvement."
After the "Growing Pains" she wrote for Shao Yunhan was published in the newspaper, Shao Yunhan did receive a lot of attention and praise. She contacted the Writers Association and soon Shao Yunhan would become the youngest member of the association.
But at the same time, "Growing Pains" has always been compared with "Whose Childhood Doesn't Have Troubles". Many people say that "Growing Pains" is not as good as "Whose Childhood Doesn't Have Troubles", which makes her feel embarrassed and jealous at the same time.
She even had an idea to make the novel "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" disappear, completely disappear.
Xia Mingzhe's mother was a little embarrassed. They were a branch family, living off the main family. Even though Xia Yuan was a married daughter, she couldn't afford to offend her. After a few more awkward words, she left with her disobedient son. As she left, several other Xia family relatives also left.
After everyone left, Xia Yuan sat next to Old Lady Xia and asked, "I heard the Ye family came to inquire about the situation?"
Old Lady Xia hummed, "Yingying is just 20 and still in school, so we're not in a hurry about this. Although Ye Chi is a good kid in every way, the Ye family is a bit complicated."
Xia Yuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "What do you think of Lulu? I think Lulu and Ye Chi are also good..."
"If you want to do this for Lulu's sake, don't think about it," said Old Lady Xia. "I'm afraid Yingying will be wronged if she goes to the Ye family, let alone Lulu. After all, Lulu's last name is Shao, not Xia. It's not that we don't support Lulu, but if things come out one after another in the future, even if we support her, her life will not be smooth."
