Chapter 1123: Leaving with the Little Girl
Gu Yin said she's leaving tomorrow, so there definitely won't be any changes.
"Then, let's have dinner together tonight, and then Yue Xin and Gu Shu can prepare the baby's things so we can take the baby with us tomorrow. Do you have a nanny there? I mean, the kind who signs a confidentiality agreement."
Gu Yin shook her head: "No, this concerns national affairs. No outsiders are allowed in. Don't worry, she's my own niece. How could I let her suffer? Besides, there are many professors inside who have had children. I may not know, but they certainly do. It's not a problem."
There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this; everyone should go and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
The little girl knew she was leaving her family for a long journey the next day, so she was very well-behaved and let everyone take turns holding her and playing with her.
What was supposed to be a joyous family reunion night has turned into a point where people are skipping the Spring Festival Gala because of this incident.
As soon as the New Year's Eve dinner was over, everyone started packing the things the baby needed.
Yue Xin brought out a lot of clothes: "Clothes are the key..."
Gu Yin quickly stopped her, saying, "Just take two sets of clothes. We'll make new ones for her once she gets there. The environment there is special, and the clothes are made of special materials. She won't be able to wear ordinary clothes."
"What about food and drink..."
"The food there is even better than what we eat at home; the nutrition is very balanced, so there's no need to worry about that."
"How about bringing some toys?"
"They've got all sorts of toys over there."
......
After all that fuss, it seems like I can only bring one or two sets of clothes; I don't need to bring anything else.
Everyone fell silent instantly.
"Ding-dong~!"
As the clock struck midnight, the new year began.
The little girl started to doze off.
Minister Yue adjusted his glasses, stood up, and looked at everyone: "No one knows the situation over there better than Gu Yin. We just need to follow her arrangements. You two should spend the night with the girl. We'll head back now and come back to see her off tomorrow morning. Don't overthink it. All of us combined aren't as capable as Gu Yin. What are we worried about? Just think of it as the girl going on a study tour. Alright, everyone disperse and go back to sleep!"
Grandpa Gu nodded: "Then let's call it a day. Get some rest and get up early."
The next morning, Gu Yin was supposed to visit various leaders to offer New Year's greetings, as originally planned, but this plan was canceled because of the little girl's matter.
When she and Chu Yan arrived in the living room, the Yue family members were already there.
Gu Shu was holding the little girl and feeding the fish.
The old lady came out of the kitchen with breakfast and, upon seeing Gu Yin and Chu Yan, nodded: "You're up? Then let's have breakfast!"
Everyone sat down at the table, and halfway through the meal, Gu Yin looked at Gu Shu and asked, "What's Xiao Xiao's full name?"
Gu Shu glanced at the little girl, who was also looking at him: "Isn't your name Gu Xiaoxiao?"
"No, Xiaoxiao is just a nickname, it's only temporary. We haven't decided on a formal name yet. How about we name it for your aunt?"
The little girl didn't object: "Okay~"
Gu Yin was stunned: "If you, as the biological parents, don't get up, aren't there still the grandparents? Why should I get up?"
Gu Shu chuckled: "Aren't you the smartest in our family? You get up and let her share in the good fortune. I hope she'll be as brave, kind, and capable as her aunt!"
"This was a decision made by everyone. You can give her a name, and then we'll take a group photo later."
Gu Yin looked at the others.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Gu Yin thought for a while, thinking of the base and the Wuji Project, and then smiled at everyone.
"How is Gu Yuesheng? He's bright and full of life. Our generation started with music, calligraphy, and painting; let the next generation follow the sun, moon, and stars, and move in the direction of the country. That's good."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingming took a pen and paper, wrote it down, and nodded after reading it for a while.
"Yuesheng? It does sound quite nice. I've seen many similar names online, which is quite artistic. Gu Yuesheng might sound a bit cheesy, but Yuesheng seems more and more feasible the more I look at it!"
"It really sounds good, it's unconventional, but it doesn't feel high-class or pretentious. It's great!"
"A broad mind and a kind heart, a tenacious vitality—these are all very auspicious meanings. I like this name. Does the baby like it?"
Minister Yue smiled and looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao nodded: "I like it! Yue Sheng likes it!"
The little girl put it to use right away.
Everyone smiled kindly, and the sorrow of parting was instantly lessened.
"Then let's call him Gu Yuesheng. We have a family tree, so let's write it down for Xiaoxiao!" Old Master Gu smiled and got up to get the family tree.
The family tree was recorded starting from his generation, and the names of Gu Yin and Gu Le's family were also included.
Gu Yin remembered that their names were also on the Zhou family's genealogy.
After the name was finalized, breakfast was also finished.
Gu Yin looked at everyone and said, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, we'll be leaving now."
Everything that needed to be said has been said; all that remains is reluctance to part.
Seeing that they remained silent, Gu Yin reached out and took the little girl from Gu Shu's arms. She would play the bad guy!
"Let's go, let's go! Don't be sad, we might come back when it gets hot!"
They seemed to have gotten used to Gu Yin's sudden return and departure. Aside from reluctance, they felt even more reluctance. They weren't worried; with Gu Yin around, they really had nothing to worry about.
This departure brought about a complete upheaval in Gu Yuesheng's childhood.
In the documentary "The Life of Academician Zhou Guyin", this memory is an experience that changed Gu Yuesheng's life, and it is also one of the few days she spent with her aunt.
It was bizarre and wonderful.
It was during this time that she witnessed firsthand just how amazing her aunt really was!
But that's a story for later. Right now, the little girl is sad because she's leaving home.
