Chapter 89 How could there be such a mother?
Around seven in the evening, Gu Yimin, Gu Erhui, and Gu Xueqiang returned from closing the shop. Before dinner, the family sat together and counted the day's earnings.
Business wasn't as good as it was before the Lunar New Year, but it wasn't bad today either. I made a total of 300 yuan, with the profit from that wholesale order accounting for more than half of that.
Everyone was aware of the potential of wholesale, but they hadn't figured out how to do it yet. They had to put it on hold for now.
Gu Jianguo took the money and handed it to Wang Yueju, the family's financial manager, and then said, "From now on, I will pay you three, Yimin, Erhui, and Xueqiang, every month. Thirty yuan a month, and I will give you an extra yuan for each piece of clothing you sell."
Gu Siqing gave Comrade Gu Jianguo a thumbs up in her heart. Look, the system of basic salary plus commission has been implemented.
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui had no objections to Gu Jianguo's decision, but Gu Xueqiang refused to accept a salary. He felt that he was an apprentice, and his uncle had already taken good care of him by providing him with food and shelter. How could he ask for a salary, especially one that was so high?
A salary of RMB 10,000 is the salary of many regular employees in the factory.
"You deserve this," Gu Jianguo said, looking at Gu Xueqiang. "The city isn't very safe. If you weren't here, I'd have to stay in the store the whole time. I'm worried about Yimin and Erhui being in the store. Besides, you've helped a lot."
A lot had happened since the shop opened, and Gu Jianguo was worried about Yimin and Erhui staying there. He had to admit, pretty girls were always popular. Plus, their business was booming before the New Year, so there must have been a lot of jealous people.
When he couldn't be in the store, he felt more at ease knowing that a boy like Gu Xueqiang was there.
Gu Xueqiang wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Gu Jianguo, "That's it."
Gu Xueqiang had no choice but to agree, as it would be pretentious to refuse further.
After this matter was settled, Gu Jianguo talked about Gu Sanjing's exam tomorrow. He touched his daughter's head and said, "Don't be nervous. It's okay even if you don't pass the exam."
"I can pass the exam." Gu Sanjing was very confident.
Gu Jianguo smiled, "Okay, my Sanjing will be able to pass the exam. Tomorrow, your mother, Xiaosi and I will accompany you."
Gu Sanjing nodded, "Dad, don't be nervous, I can pass the exam."
Gu Jianguo: “…”
Does he act nervous?
Well, he did care a little... about it. He worked so hard, wasn't it just to make his wife live a good life and his children have a bright future?
Ever since the coach said San Jing was very talented, he had secretly imagined more than once that San Jing won the championship. Of course, he would not tell anyone about this, so as not to be laughed at and put pressure on San Jing.
After washing up and going to bed at night, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju couldn't sleep, thinking about Sanjing's exam tomorrow. Wang Yueju's biggest worry was not that Sanjing would fail the exam, but that she was worried about the hard training after Sanjing passed the exam.
"I saw the eldest couple next door forcing Xiaoqiang to train every day. He's almost stupid from all the training." Wang Yueju said worriedly, "If our Sanjing passes the exam, will the coach push her like that? Alas, I don't think these kids will have much of a future. I just want them to be safe and healthy."
Gu Jianguo turned over and said, "Don't worry, the sports school is not far from home. We often go to see San Jing. If things don't work out, we can just come back."
"Xiao Si is taking the advanced exam in a couple of days. Didn't she say she wanted to learn dancing? I'll take her to register tomorrow after San Jing finishes her exam. Yi Min and Er Hui still have to go to night school..."
Before Wang Yueju could finish her words, she was hugged by the man next to her. "If you can't sleep, exercise."
Seeing her put on that outfit today, he felt hot all over...
The next day, after breakfast, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju took Gu Sanjing and Gu Siqing to the sports school. As soon as they left the house, they ran into Zhang Mingli and his wife, along with Zhang Xiaoqiang. The two families greeted each other and then went to the bus stop to catch the bus to the sports school for the exam.
Although it is an additional test, the examination process and standards are not relaxed at all, and are even stricter.
Gu Sanjing wasn't nervous at all, and Gu Siqing praised her mental strength. An athlete's mental strength is equally important. Some athletes perform very well in training, but struggle in competitions. That's because their mental strength isn't strong enough.
Gu Sanjing took two exams, swimming and diving. The results came out immediately. Both scores were good, but it was obvious that she was more talented in diving.
So the school finally admitted Gu Sanjing as a diving student.
Although they had thought that Sanjing would be able to pass the exam, when it actually happened, Gu Jianguo and the others were still so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
"School starts in three days. Go back and get ready. You'll be living on campus, so you need to pack your luggage. The school will provide you with uniforms..."
The coach was also very happy. With such a good seedling, it would be easy for him to achieve good results. Maybe Gu Sanjing could even join the national team, and then her stage would be even bigger.
He will be proud then.
After completing the formalities here, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju left with their two children. However, as soon as they left the coach's office, they saw many people running towards a four-story building to the west, and someone shouted, "Call the police! Call the police!"
Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju each held a child tightly as they followed the crowd. When they reached the building, they saw two people they knew standing in the crowd: Zhang Mingli and Guo Huilan.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, get down here, do you hear me?" Guo Huilan raised her head and shouted, "You didn't pass the exam, and you still think you're right? Come down here now. If you come down now, I'll pretend nothing happened. If you wait a little longer, just wait..."
Gu Siqing looked up and saw Zhang Xiaoqiang standing on the edge of the roof. If he took another step forward, he would fall from the fourth floor.
"I know you've always been dissatisfied with me. I'm trying hard, but you're still dissatisfied with me. I think if I die, you won't be angry anymore. Mom, I'm really tired."
As Zhang Xiaoqiang spoke, he moved his body, and the people below cried out in surprise.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang"
"Auntie!" Gu Siqing interrupted Guo Huilan and said, "You can't talk to Xiaoqiang like that now."
Aren't you afraid your son might jump out of the water if you goad him? How can there be such a mother?
"Yeah, you can't talk like that."
"You should comfort the child."
People around her also started talking about Guo Huilan, and her face turned red.
"Parent of this student, please stop provoking the child," the school leader whispered to Guo Huilan. "Let the child come down first."
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang took another step forward. Guo Huilan's heart was about to jump out. Now she really realized that her son really wanted to jump down, not to scare her.
She cried and shouted upstairs: "Xiao Qiang, Mom was just joking with you. Mom will never force you again, okay?"
This is her only son, how could she not feel bad? She just wanted her child to be excellent, how did it turn out like this?
"Xiao Qiang," Zhang Mingli also shouted upwards, "Wait up there. Daddy's coming to pick you up, okay? Daddy also promises you that from now on, I won't force you to practice, I won't force you to study, and I won't let you compete with others."
Zhang Xiaoqiang above was unmoved. He stared blankly down, as if hesitating whether to jump down.
