Spring 1978
"Si Ning, your son is so cute. No, I want to adopt him as my godson."
Because of Xia Qiu's arrival, Meng Si Ning was busy making coffee to entertain her. After her divorce from Gu Jingshen, she had been doing very well in the past few years. After the college entrance examination was released, she was recommended by her teacher to study at the best music college in Beijing.
She had come to Meng Si Ning to play when she had nothing to do this month. Hearing what she said, Meng Si Ning raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Tang Tang has already been selected, why don't you talk to her about it?"
"It's easier to get things done with more godmothers. She can be her godmother, and I can be mine."
"Okay, my Xiaoxiao is blessed to have you two godmothers."
Xia Qiu was delighted: "You agreed. Fine. I'll prepare a gift for my godson when I get back. Oh, by the way, why didn't Tangtang and his wife apply to a university here? Otherwise, we could get together every day."
"The best university of technology in the country is in Shenyang. Their child has just been born, and her in-laws are all over there, so they can help take care of the child."
Xia Qiu sighed. What she envied most now was Jiang Tang.
She married a good husband and became pregnant. When Jiang Tang said she wanted to take the college entrance examination, her husband accompanied her without any hesitation.
Her husband went to the best university of technology, and she was admitted to the Political Science and Law University in Shenyang.
It would be a pity to give up the political achievements that I have worked so hard for, and my family would not complain or feel sorry about it.
It’s kind of funny to think about how the two of them were fighting with each other a few years ago.
"I heard that one of your senior brothers is pursuing you. Is he the one I met on the road last time?"
"Yes, it's him."
"He looks nice and handsome. What do you think?"
Xia Qiu laughed at himself: "Looking good is secondary, character is the most important. Now I..."
"You're not still thinking about Gu Jingshen, are you?"
"I don't."
"Years ago, my son Lu Cheng went to the island where Gu Jingshen was stationed. He heard a lot of gossip there. He said that Gu Jingshen's life was a mess. Shen Qiurong gave birth to a daughter, and she was a bit biased towards boys and was not very good to the child. She also often complained that Gu Jingshen helped the families of deceased comrades. She saved a little bit of her monthly allowance, which was not enough for the family. Life was tight, and she often quarreled with him and refused to go home."
Xia Qiu laughed happily after hearing this: "She was just trying to get close to him, and now she's suffering. Now she knows what kind of person Gu Jingshen is. She deserves it."
Meng Si Ning shrugged. "I think the one who should be regretting it the most right now should be Gu Jingshen. On the island, he even asked Lu Cheng about you. However, my Lu Cheng didn't have much contact with you, so I didn't tell him too much."
Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, looking at Meng Si Ning, and said after a long while: "Si Ning, in fact, I divorced him not only because of Chen Qiurong."
"Huh?" Meng Si Ning looked at her doubtfully, and handed a toy to his son who was playing on the ground.
"Do you still remember the two photos you asked me to bring to Lu Cheng when Gu Jingshen was injured in Shen City before we got married?"
"Yes, I remember."
"One of the photos was lost at that time. I always thought I lost it accidentally, but later... I saw it in Gu Jingshen's study." Xia Qiu said, glanced at Meng Si Ning who was teasing Xiao Xiao, opened his mouth and said what he had been holding back for several years: "The person he actually likes is you."
Meng Si Ning nodded: "I know."
"You know?"
"Yes, I knew it before we got married, so I've been avoiding him. Didn't you notice?"
After hearing what Meng Si Ning said, Xia Qiu pondered for a moment and suddenly laughed: "I am so stupid."
Meng Si Ning looked at her and sighed, then patted her and comforted her: "Jiang Tang and I tried to persuade you before, but at that time, your heart and eyes were full of Gu Jingshen."
Xia Qiu shook his head and laughed, "I don't know how it feels until I hit the wall. Forget it, I won't mention him. It will affect my mood. I'll come over next week and adopt him as my godson. It will be more grand than Jiang Tang's."
"Don't you know her? She never cares about these details."
"I don't care."
After Xia Qiu left, the two sisters met in the space at night, holding their children.
Meng Si Ning told her that Xia Qiu wanted to adopt Xiao Xiao as his godson: "Just accept him. Xiao Xiao has her as his singer godmother, so he won't suffer any loss. Hey, ask her if she wants to adopt a goddaughter. Our Yaoyao is so soft, sweet and adorable."
Jiang Tang's daughter is really cute. She is five months old, with a fair, tender and rosy face. She is the perfect combination of the advantages of both husband and wife. When she sees Yaoyao, her son instantly loses his charm.
"Xia Qiu, I don't care. Yaoyao has a translator godmother, which I think is more powerful than a singer godmother, right?"
"That's for sure."
"Have you settled in?"
"Well, my mother-in-law bought us a small courtyard house near my school and hired a nanny to take care of Yaoyao. He Yan's grandmother was worried, so she brought the old man over to help us. The old lady is over 80 years old and in good health. Old people don't sleep much, so she gets up early every morning to cook for us. I feel a little guilty about this, as if I'm abusing the elderly. The key is that she won't do it if I don't let her."
"As long as the elderly like it, there are nannies at home to help."
"It's quite good. I just can't stand others being too nice to me. But fortunately, my school studies are relatively easy. It's just He Yan, whose studies are quite demanding."
"You should cherish the time you spend with your husband now, because he will be busier in the future."
"Oh, yes. Go get busy. Oh, by the way, there are a lot of wild mushrooms in Shen City recently. Do you want to get some?"
"Yes, yes."
The two best friends have not been idle in the past few years. Whenever there is an opportunity to make money, they go to the mall.
