Chapter 134 Gu Yin didn't come? How annoying!
After packing their things and locking the door in the afternoon, Gu Qinglang and his group took a car home.
The old lady was cooking in the kitchen when she heard her youngest son's voice. She put the firewood deep in the stove, set it up, and seeing that it wouldn't burn for a while, she got up and left the kitchen.
Seeing that the group was carrying large bags and bundles, the old lady sighed, "Why did you buy so much stuff! Aren't you tired of carrying it all back?"
Gu Yin had just returned from training when she heard her grandmother's nagging. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Gu Qinglang in the courtyard and quickly called out to him.
"Dad, you're back! When did you arrive?!"
Gu Qinglang was delighted to see his eldest daughter: "I just arrived! I didn't expect you to be right behind us. We should have waited for you to come back together! You've grown so much taller in the past six months! Looks like you've been eating well!" She's grown even more since he left, and has become even more beautiful. No wonder she's his daughter! She looks just like him! Hahaha!
Thinking of this, he called out to everyone: "Come, come, come and take a look, try on the down jackets I bought for you!"
Li Li took out his own belongings and said with a smile, "Then I'll head back first. Grandma should be waiting for me at home for dinner!"
The old lady didn't try to keep him; after half a year apart, she must have missed him.
After Li Li left, everyone tried on clothes while asking Gu Qinglang what he had been doing over there.
Gu Qinglang recounted everything he had learned and mastered, then laughed and said, "If it weren't for my master and the others going home for the New Year, we probably wouldn't have come back. There's still so much we haven't learned. Computers are truly amazing! When we open the shop, let's keep a few computers and put them in the house in the county!"
No one else has any objections. When everyone sells their computers, they'll definitely keep the ones they own, just like when they sold their cell phones before, they already have several at home.
"Ah Hua and Ah Yin look so good in red! It makes their skin look so fair! Girls should wear clothes like this more often, it's festive! It makes people happy just looking at them!" The old lady helped her two granddaughters try on the clothes first, and after they were dressed, she was more and more satisfied with them.
"Grandma, what about me? What about me? Do I look good?" Gu Le put on his own clothes, which were also black. His hat had a raised rabbit pattern and long ears. Because of the air in his down jacket, he looked round and chubby.
He smiled and spun around twice in front of the old lady, looking at her expectantly. His adorable look, seeking praise, melted everyone's hearts!
Gu Shu picked him up and pinched his chubby cheeks, laughing, "You look good! You look especially good! Wear this out for the New Year! You'll be the cutest kid in the whole village!"
Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
On the other side, before Li Li even got home, he saw his grandmother standing at the door looking out towards the roadside.
"Grandma! I'm back!" Li Li waved vigorously at the old lady Li and then walked over quickly.
"Oh! Oh! It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!" Grandma Li looked at her grandson, and after he got closer, she reached out and touched his hands, looked at him carefully, and then said with satisfaction, "You've grown taller and gained weight! It seems you're doing well over there! Now I can rest assured!"
Li Li also looked the old lady over and found that although she hadn't gained weight, she hadn't lost weight either, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Helping his grandmother inside, Li Li said with a smile, "It's like I'm taking a class over there. I'm eating well and enjoying life! Of course I'll gain weight, but Grandma hasn't gained any!"
Afraid that her grandson would bring up food again, the old lady quickly changed the subject: "Why did you buy so much stuff? What is it?"
Seeing that she had changed the subject, Li Li stopped lecturing her. He put the things on the stool in the room, then opened the bag of the down jacket and took out the old lady's jacket.
"This is called a down jacket! It's warmer than a cotton-padded coat. Uncle Gu bought one for the whole family, and I bought one for each of us. Try it on and see if it fits! I asked Uncle Gu to help me try it on."
The old lady looked at the brand-new clothes, reached out and touched the smooth fabric, smiled and asked her grandson to help her put them on.
After putting it on, zip it all the way up to your neck, and then put on the hat. You really can't feel a breath of wind at all.
"These clothes are wonderful! They keep you warm all the way up to your knees! I won't feel cold when I go out in them! They're so nice! These clothes must be expensive! You should buy them for yourself. Why would an old woman like me wear something so expensive? I've never seen another old woman in the whole village dressed so well!" The old woman said with heartache as she touched the clothes.
Li Li took out his own shirt and put it on, smiling as he said, "It's not very expensive. The shop assistant said this shirt can last for several years! It's worth it! Grandma, how do I look? Don't I look smart?"
"So spirited! So handsome! How can my grandson be so good-looking!" She reached out and patted the other's head. When she saw Li's eyes, her hand paused, and her eyes reddened slightly. "My grandson is the most handsome! He's getting more and more handsome as he grows up! He's old enough to support a family! A real man!"
Li Li noticed his grandmother's unusual behavior and, remembering what Boss Xia had said before leaving, pulled the old lady down to sit and then relayed Boss Xia's words.
The old lady's initial surprise and joy turned into worry: "Is this surgery safe? Are there any dangers?"
Li Li reassured her, "It's alright, that doctor is very skilled! He rarely fails in surgery, and it's just my eye, it's easy to fix. Don't worry, Grandma, when I come back next time, you'll see an even more handsome grandson!"
The old lady was illiterate and didn't understand what her grandson was saying. She was worried and hesitant to let him go, but seeing the determination in his eyes, she knew he had made up his mind, and she could only support him.
“Do whatever you want, but Grandma has a request: when you are hospitalized, Grandma will come to take care of you. I’m worried about leaving you alone there. Your Uncle Gu also has his own things to do and can’t be by your side every moment. I’ll feel more at ease if Grandma goes!”
Li Li didn't hesitate much about this matter. He agreed to his grandmother's condition: "Okay, then Grandma, you have to eat well at home. Eat more meat so you'll have the strength to take care of me!"
The old lady nodded: "I'll kill a chicken every week from now on! Don't worry!"
After finishing their important business, the two changed out of their new clothes and went to the kitchen for dinner.
On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family wore new clothes. Gu Yin didn't go, and Li Mengxin took Gu Le to mind the shop in town. The market was too crowded, and Gu Le was too small to handle, so they didn't bring him along.
"Ayin, are you really not going to ask for leave? It would be so lively if the whole family went to buy New Year's goods!" The old lady looked at her granddaughter who was putting on gloves and asked with a smile.
Gu Yin shook her head: "I won't go, you guys go. The teacher is going home for the New Year tomorrow and won't come back after the New Year. She won't be back until school starts, so I need to go and learn more, and also bring back the test papers and things to do."
Li Mengxin took a bamboo basket out of the house and placed it on the hood of Gu Yin's car: "This is a New Year's gift for your teacher, just some cured meat and the like. She taught you for so long even though she was on holiday, you should thank her. If she hadn't had to go home for the New Year, I would have invited her to our house for New Year's Eve dinner!"
Gu Yin nodded: "Okay, I'll be going now! See you tonight!"
When Gu Yin arrived at the teachers' dormitory building, Feng Jiangyue had just taken out the bowls to wash.
Have you had breakfast?
Gu Yin parked the car and took the basket down: "I've eaten."
Charcoal was burning inside. Gu Yin took off her gloves and sat down by the fire to warm herself.
Feng Jiangyue finished washing the dishes and came over with the test papers.
"During this time, you've basically learned what the Olympiad is, as well as the rules and general scope of the exam. You've also done some practice tests. Do you have any questions?"
Gu Yin shook her head. She had already asked all the questions she didn't understand during this period, and now she just needed to do the problems.
Feng Jiangyue nodded: "Because you don't have experience in training and competitions in junior high school, it might be more difficult in high school. After all, high school is all about accumulation and application, and it's also a battle of thinking and intelligence. So right now, we're just doing problems, summarizing, and training. Once you understand and are familiar with the thinking methods of Olympiad math, it will be easier to do problems. In high school, you'll need to participate in more domestic competitions. You might not get a sense of it if I say more now, so just do problems first. You'll understand when you're on the battlefield."
Gu Yin nodded. Although she had a specific purpose in learning the Olympiad, she had genuinely come to love the exciting, mysterious, and fascinating problem-solving process since she came into contact with it.
The charcoal crackled and popped in the room, and Gu Yin, following Feng Jiangyue's explanation of the problem steps, once again entered the world of mathematics.
On the other side of the city, early in the morning, Chu Yan got up and changed his clothes many times, which made Grandpa Yao almost sleepy.
"Which one are you going to wear? Hurry up and leave, or it'll be too crowded and difficult to get in!"
Chu Yan finally put on the red hoodie, covered it with a white baseball jacket, fixed her hair, and found that everything was fine before helping the old man downstairs.
"It's not like you're going to see your date, why do you need to dress up so nicely!"
Chu Yan touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "New year, new look! Dressing nicely makes you look more energetic!"
Grandpa Yao glanced at him but didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the market, the Gu family had just arrived as well.
Seeing the two of them arrive, Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu greeted them with smiles: "You've come?!"
While the others were exchanging greetings, Chu Yan looked around the Gu family's area but didn't see the person he was looking for. He looked around again, puzzled, but still didn't see anyone.
Chu Yan blinked and looked at the old lady with a smile: "I heard my grandfather say that there is a junior who is preparing to take the entrance exam for our school. Grandma Gu, who is she? I can tell her about Jianggao."
The old lady slapped her thigh: "Oh dear, what bad luck! Ah Yin went to training today and didn't come!"
Chu Yan: "...Is that so? That's a real pity."
I was so annoyed that I spent so much time dressing up!
