Chapter 1149: My Background is the Country
When we arrived in the living room, everyone was already seated.
"We've been waiting for the two of you, please take your seats!" The old lady smiled and pointed to the seats next to her.
After Gu Yin and Chu Yan sat down, they looked around.
They discovered that Zhou Wansheng was not there, nor were the woman's family members.
He asked in confusion, "Where's Grandpa? Didn't you notify him? Where are your sister-in-law's parents?"
"Your grandfather has a mission and can't come back!" Wang Yanzhi explained on behalf of the old man.
Gu Yin nodded. It was indeed very busy in Dabai Mountain, so it was normal that he couldn't come back.
“My dad is on a foreign visit and hasn’t come back yet. My mom passed away when I was little. There’s not much family on my maternal grandparents’ side. My uncle is also busy and can’t come over easily.”
As for Xiaosheng's mother, Gu Yin knew she was at the base and definitely wouldn't be coming back.
Gu Yin didn't think that asking these questions, or knowing these things, would make others think she was impolite.
Some things are better asked directly. Birth, aging, illness, death, and everyday family matters are all part of human nature.
Since Gu Le has said he likes her, then she's one of us.
It's better to be direct with your own people than to ask them privately.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's okay, I was just asking. As long as your older brother is here, we'll all be family from now on. They're very lively, so don't find it annoying. But if you do find it annoying, it's okay. Just tell Grandma, and she'll help you."
“That’s right. If anyone bothers you or makes trouble for you, just tell me! I’ll deal with them!” The old lady nodded repeatedly with a smile.
Xiaohuang picked up the serving chopsticks and put some food on the old lady's plate, accepting it generously: "I'll listen to what my elder sister and grandmother say."
She knew that Gu Yin had accepted her.
It must have been something Gu Le and Gu Yin said.
Dinner went smoothly, and after the meal, the engagement ceremony was completed.
Because she didn't know Gu Le was engaged, Gu Yin didn't prepare a gift.
They could only take out the bracelets and remaining safety buckles that they had kept from when they made the safety buckles before, from the safe.
"This safety buckle is your engagement gift. Everyone in the family has one. It was cut from the same piece of jade. This bracelet is also from the same piece. I noticed you were wearing a cheongsam and wearing jade on your wrists, neck, and hair. Although this material isn't old, it has good translucency and color. I think you'll like it."
Xiao Huang could tell at a glance that these two things were not cheap.
She'd seen these things many times, but she still really liked them.
She accepted the bracelet with delight: "Thank you, sister. I really like it. The color of this bracelet is perfect for young people like us. You have such good taste!"
After presenting the gift, Gu Yin looked at Xiao Sheng and said, "Come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."
Xiao Sheng hasn't dared to speak since before dinner.
The main reason was that her father had set his sights on Gu Le, and he was worried that Gu Yin would think that their family had ulterior motives.
Okay, there was indeed a purpose, but it was a win-win situation.
Arranged marriages are perfectly normal in their circle, but he has known Gu Yin and the Gu family for so long that he knows Gu Yin's character and how she conducts herself.
She herself wouldn't arrange a marriage, let alone send Ah Le.
I felt a little uneasy being called out at this moment.
Upon arriving at the pavilion, Gu Yin turned to look at Xiao Sheng, who was looking down at something.
"Is there money on the ground?"
"Huh? No."
"Then why were you staring at the ground?"
"Aren't you angry?"
Seeing that he asked the question cautiously.
Gu Yin was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was talking about.
"What's there to be angry about? The old leader didn't force Ah Le. This is the path he chose himself. He can walk it on his own. As long as he's happy, that's all that matters."
Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're not angry. I was afraid you would think we were abusing our power, but I also know that my father's intentions were good."
Gu Yin nodded: "I know, okay, let's not talk about that. I came to you to ask if people in your circle all went to special schools from a young age?"
“There’s nothing special about it. We have schools for children of employees, and after high school they go to the same universities as you. Some of them go abroad, but if you want to follow the system, most of them go to prestigious universities in Beijing after university.”
"Are your schools for employees of large compounds the same as those schools for employees of large families outside?"
Xiao Sheng was slightly taken aback: "You mean my school?"
Gu Yin nodded.
"Yes, it is indeed different, it's stricter. What's wrong? Do you want to send Xiaoxiao over there?"
The Gu family currently only has this one child. Gu Yin personally asked him, and he said that besides Xiao Xiao, there is no one else.
Gu Yin nodded: "The child came to me today, wanting to follow Xiao Huang's path and asking me to design a training plan for her. I'm good at conducting experiments, but I'm not good at teaching children how to become politicians."
"Why did he suddenly want to take this path? This path is not easy. Many children from families like ours don't want to take this path. Look at Long Yu, he doesn't want to take it, but he has no choice. Even if he takes this path, he'll just keep it as a hobby for himself."
Gu Yin sighed: "A-Le and I were talking, and she overheard us. She felt that each generation has its own responsibilities. Now that she is the eldest sister, she should choose the path to take in advance and nurture her early. This is good for everyone. Being too smart is not a good thing either. Without good teachers and leaders, I am afraid that her intelligence will be harmful."
"Alright, I'll ask the old chief. If it works out, I'll take advantage of my return to arrange for her to go there. After that, I'll be going to the South China Sea, and I don't know when I'll be back."
The sooner it's resolved, the sooner we can have peace of mind.
"I think there's no problem, go ahead and ask."
That evening, at a certain time, Gu Yin called her old superior.
The call was connected very quickly.
"You saw Ah Le's boyfriend? What do you think?"
Gu Yin chuckled: "The old chief's choice is naturally the best, it's very good."
Gu Yin's words meant she had no objections, and the old commander was relieved.
"What did you want to say when you called?"
"Um."
Looking at the large white goose outside the window, Gu Yin smiled and said, "One of my children is about to start junior high school, and I'd like to transfer her to a school for employees of government-affiliated institutions. Do you have any recommendations?"
The old leader chuckled to himself.
"Okay, do you have a problem with my suggestion? Otherwise, why would you make this request?"
Gu Yin was taken aback: "I really don't have any complaints. Is this request too much? With my grades, getting a degree shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult, but what you're asking for is definitely the one Xiaosheng is studying in. The children there come from extraordinary family backgrounds. You need to know that people from outside come in with a purpose. Don't tell me you just want her to study here? If that's the case, I advise you not to. They are all very smart and will be xenophobic, which is not good for a child's development."
“I know that. The only path Xiaoxiao wants to take is there.”
Xiao Xiao? Gu Shu's daughter, the little one who visited the base before.
"It seems you've made up your minds. Okay, let her come over. Let's make this clear first: neither her mother nor I have any children her age to help her. She'll have to overcome everything herself. If she can become friends with them, her future won't be too bad."
"I know about this, thank you, old commander. We are only responsible for getting her in; the rest is up to her."
Don't let the young age of the students fool you; there's plenty of backstabbing and infighting, and the survival of the fittest is even more intense there.
Xiao Xiao managed to get into the Tian family through connections. Gu Yin knew how difficult the road was, and so did Xiao Xiao.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxiao came over with Gu Shu and Yue Xin.
Yue Xin sighed: "I told her about how cruel it is there, but she still wants to go. It's her own choice, and as her parents, all we can do is respect it."
Gu Shu patted her hair and chuckled, "Little brat, you've got big ambitions! You're more daring than your dad! Dad supports you! I'll always be your backing! We've got martial arts skills, so don't worry. If your studies are too heavy and you can't understand them, I'll ask your aunt to get you some brain-boosting medicine!! Don't be afraid!"
Gu Yuesheng: "..."
Gu Yin: "......"
Yue Xin slapped him helplessly!
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Hehe, I just wanted to put the kid at ease. It's just studying, if they can't do it, they don't have to! The most important thing is to be happy!"
Gu Yin bent down and looked at Xiao Xiao seriously: "I'm going to work tomorrow, so I can't take you to school. You can ask your mother and Uncle Xiaosheng to take you."
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Okay."
Gu Yin reached out and pinched her cheek: "When I was your age, I outsmarted human traffickers and enemies, studied hard, all to leave the mountains, stand up to the enemy, and send them to prison. I did it."
At this point, Gu Yin paused for a moment, then continued, "You need to know that your aunt is Zhou Guyin, your uncle is Chu Yan, your mother is Yue Xin, your uncle is Gu Le, and your aunt is Xiao Huang. Whether it's power or wealth, your background is more powerful than anyone else's! We're not afraid of trouble, but we don't cause trouble either. As long as it's not illegal, I can back you up. My background is the country, and your background is me and your family. This is the confidence that my family gives you! Do you understand?"
Resounding! Powerful! Extremely impactful!
Gu Yuesheng, his eyes brimming with tears, said, "I understand!"
Throughout her studies, these words instilled in her the courage to stand tall and fearless among her peers!
Throughout her career, just thinking about today's scene gave her the strength to hold on until her last breath! She carved out her own path, Gu Yuesheng, from among a group of ruthless men!
