Chapter 328 I Want to Give Something But I Can’t
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the family arrived at the government compound where the Xia family lived around ten o'clock. Xia Yi was waiting at the door. After registering, they went to the Xia family together.
The Xia family also had a small courtyard with a two-story building. Before the car even reached the door, Xia Zhengming and Feng Hailan were waiting there, and everyone entered the courtyard in a lively atmosphere.
Feng Hailan walked with Wang Yueju and whispered to her, "Xia Yuan has been staying at home these days, but don't worry, she will be fine."
Wang Yueju smiled and said, "It's okay."
Feng Hailan glanced at her expression, but couldn't see anything, so she could only say nothing.
In fact, she was a little nervous. Xia Yuan had been arguing with Shao Yuhe these days and had been living at home with her two children since the New Year. She was afraid that Xia Yuan would say something unpleasant and that everyone would leave on bad terms.
The first time we visited relatives, we were unhappy, and the relationship was even more difficult to improve.
Wang Yueju had never met Xia Yuan, but she wasn't afraid at all. She felt that Xia Yuan was the one who should be afraid and embarrassed.
Entering the living room, Mrs. Xia and Xia Ying were busy putting fruit snacks on the coffee table. Shao Yunlu and Shao Yunhan were sitting on the sofa, looking very uneasy. Seeing them come in, Mrs. Xia smiled and greeted them: "Come and sit down, it's cold outside, isn't it?"
Xia Ying also came over to greet them. Shao Yunlu and Shao Yunhan stood up, a little at a loss. Old Mrs. Xia smiled and introduced them: "This is Lulu and Hanhan."
Shao Yunlu forced a smile and called out to Wang Yueju, "Hello, Auntie."
Shao Yunhan lowered his head and said nothing.
Wang Yueju naturally didn't bother with the two children. She took out four red envelopes, one each for Shao Yunlu, Shao Yunhan, Xia Ying, and Xia Yi. Old Lady Xia and Feng Hailan also hurriedly took out red envelopes, and each of the four sisters received two red envelopes.
Old Mrs. Xia gave out red envelopes, and then looked at the four sisters sitting in a row. Each of them had a delicate and beautiful appearance, and she really liked them very much.
Especially after seeing Gu Sanjing sit down, he picked up the things on the coffee table and started eating without any hesitation. His little mouth moved like a little squirrel, which was extremely cute.
She took a few things and placed them in front of Gu Sanjing, "What do you usually like to eat? I'll prepare it for you next time you come."
Gu Sanjing swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled at Old Lady Xia, "Anything is fine."
Old Mrs. Xia laughed and said, "Then I'll prepare more for you next time."
Here, Xia Ying was talking to Gu Yimin, Gu Erhui and Gu Siqing. Naturally, she also wanted harmony at home, so she tried her best to get Shao Yunhan and Shao Yunlu involved in the conversation.
Shao Yunlu loved chatting with people, and soon she blended in with the group, even sharing the latest gossip she knew. Shao Yunhan, on the other hand, sat there in silence, and Xia Ying had no choice but to let her be.
Gu Siqing could feel Shao Yunhan secretly watching her, but she pretended not to know. She couldn't argue with a child. In fact, she felt quite sympathetic towards Shao Yunlu. If she didn't have Xia Yuan as her mother, perhaps her life would be more normal.
After chatting for a while, the study door suddenly opened and Xia Yuan walked out, followed by Xia Qingzhang and Shao Yuhe. Xia Yuan's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. Glancing at the people sitting in the living room, she said, "Lulu, Hanhan, go home!"
As she spoke, she strode out. Shao Yunhan and Shao Yunlu quickly followed. Shao Yuhe smiled awkwardly and also hurried out. Xia Zhengming and Feng Hailan stood up to see them off.
After they left, Old Lady Xia asked Xia Qingzhang worriedly, "What did you say?"
Xia Qingzhang sighed, and without avoiding the Gu family, he said, "They both said they won't divorce. We'll arrange for them to go to Hong Kong in a few days."
Old Lady Xia sighed, unable to tell whether this was a good thing or not. If Shao Yuhe hadn't cheated on her, their family might have had a good life in Hong Kong, but now it was worrying.
"Let her be." Xia Qingzhang sighed, then smiled and spoke to Wang Yueju and the others. There's no comparison between a child who strives for success and one who doesn't. Just look at how good this family is.
"Will you participate in the National Games next year?" Xia Qingzhang asked Gu Sanjing who was eating happily.
"Yes, the team has done a qualifying competition." Gu Sanjing said after swallowing. She came first in the qualifying competition, so she could naturally participate in the National Games.
Xia Qingzhang and Old Lady Xia were very happy to hear this. Old Lady Xia even said, "I will definitely go and see it when the time comes."
Gu Sanjing hummed and continued eating. Old Madam Xia couldn't help but put food in front of her. Then she looked at Gu Siqing and asked, "Are you going directly to Peking University next year? Or are you taking the college entrance examination the year after?"
"I'm going to take the college entrance exam next year, and I want to learn the knowledge more firmly." Gu Siqing said.
"That's the way it should be. You're young, so take it one step at a time," Xia Qingzhang said, then asked, "You're moving to Kyoto next year. Do you want to transfer schools? If so, I'll help you."
Gu Siqing: "Instructor Ye has already contacted them. They're from the No. 2 Middle School in the city, and it's close to home."
Xia Qingzhang felt a little regretful. He wanted to give something but couldn't, and he felt bad.
After chatting for a while, they talked about Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui's marriage. Knowing that they were both getting married next year, Xia Qingzhang and Old Lady Xia took it very seriously and asked for many details.
Knowing that neither of them had a grand wedding, Xia Qingzhang said, "It's only right. A tall tree attracts the wind."
Keeping a low profile is good for everyone.
After a while of chatting, the nanny prepared the meal and everyone moved to the dining room to eat. The whole meal was quite pleasant. After eating and sitting for a while, Gu Siqing and the others went home and the Xia family saw them off to the door.
After watching their car drive away, the Xia family returned to the living room. After sitting down, Old Lady Xia said, "Since Yueju doesn't want the dowry, then give those things to the four sisters as dowries."
Xia Qingzhang nodded. "You decide. All four children are good kids."
He now regrets that he didn't find the person earlier, otherwise their relationship would not be as close as it is now.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Gu Siqing, Gu Jianguo, and Wang Yueju returned to Lizhou and began preparing for the move. Moving was actually a simple matter; the main concern was the company's business.
Gao Zhengjun is indeed capable, and there is no problem for him to manage the business here, but Gu Jianguo is still a little worried about handing over all the stores here to him.
People's hearts are fickle!
Gu Siqing felt that although people's hearts were fickle, it was crucial to control them. She had to make him understand that his current job had given him a lot and that the future held great promise, while also giving him a sense of crisis.
Gu Siqing told Gu Jianguo her idea, and Gu Jianguo couldn't help but be surprised again, "Where did you learn all this from?"
Gu Siqing: "Dad, being educated is very important. You should continue to read and study. I suggest you study how those ancient wise rulers managed their ministers."
Gu Jianguo felt that his daughter was right, so he bought a lot of history books from the bookstore in the afternoon.
