That day, Gu Zhinian had just gotten off work when Sun Qiuxia called her.
"Xiao Gu, the court has an opportunity to go to another province for study and training. I want to send you and Qian Dayou. The training will last for three months. Do you want to go?"
Gu Zhinian was surprised and delighted, "Go! I'll go! Thank you, Sister Qiuxia."
Sun Qiuxia smiled and said, "No need to thank me. This is the result of your own hard work. You deserve it."
Gu Zhinian also knew in her heart that she was selected for training mostly because of Yun Muye's help. If Yun Muye was not familiar with Sun Qiuxia and had not helped her many times, she, a newcomer who had just worked for a few months, would never have been selected for off-site training.
However, Gu Zhinian frowned. She was going to be away from her fat son for three months. Wouldn’t that boy cry every day?
When he got home, Gu Zhinian told Li Yuling that he was going to have a three-month training. Li Yuling was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"That's a good thing. Go ahead and do it. I'll take care of little Tangyuan."
"Mom, thank you for taking care of Tangyuan." Gu Zhinian held her hand, expressing gratitude.
"What are you thanking me for? Xiao Tangyuan is my grandson. It's my duty to take care of him."
Little Tangyuan threw away his toy and ran over to hug Gu Zhinian, "Mom, where are you going?"
Gu Zhinian bent down and picked him up.
"Mom and Tangyuan are both going to school. When we have exams, we'll compete with each other. Whoever does better will get a reward, okay?"
"Okay!" Little Tangyuan said excitedly, "Mom, our kindergarten teacher taught me a nursery rhyme. I'll sing it to you."
"Okay." Gu Zhinian was full of anticipation. Li Yuling also sat over to listen to her eldest grandson sing. Little Tangyuan stood on the ground, cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head.
"A flock of ducks swam past under the bridge in front of our door. Come on, count them! Two, four, six, seven, eight..."
After the little Tangyuan finished singing, she placed her hands on her belly and bowed deeply.
"Thank you for watching."
Gu Zhinian and Li Yuling clapped their hands red in praise of him,
“The little dumplings are awesome!”
"My eldest grandson will become a singing star when he grows up."
The door rang, and Yun Muye walked in carrying a bag.
"Who's going to be a singer?"
Li Yuling proudly replied, "My eldest grandson!"
Yun Muye twitched his lips. His son's voice was so loud that it was like a ghost howling. His singing was so deadly!
"I got the photos from last time. Do you want to see them?"
Li Yuling and Gu Zhinian both came forward, took the photos and sat on the sofa to look at them. Li Yuling put on her reading glasses and fondly stroked the photo of the family of three.
"It's really beautiful. My daughter-in-law is beautiful and my eldest grandson is cute. I love them so much."
Yun Muye took a photo of him and Gu Zhinian and looked at it. "I'll print an extra copy of each photo. I'll also buy an album and put all the photos in it. From now on, we'll go to the photo studio to take a photo every year."
"Good! This is good!" Li Yuling praised it repeatedly.
Little Tangyuan squeezed into grandma's arms and looked at the photos together, pointing at the photos with his little hands.
"This is grandma, this is mom, this is me, that is dad, huh? Why is there no grandpa?"
Li Yuling said, "Pooh!" "He doesn't deserve it!"
Yun Muye: “…”
Gu Zhinian: “…”
Yun Muye took a photo of him and Gu Zhinian, put it away, put it in his shirt pocket, and carried it with him every day.
Gu Zhinian took a photo of a family of three and put it away. Little Tangyuan was holding a small ball cutely, and the couple's eyes were on him. She liked this photo very much.
I am about to go for three months of training, so I brought this photo with me and look at it whenever I miss my child.
While eating, Yun Muye finally remembered to ask,
"Where's Yunshuang?"
Li Yuling said angrily, "We went to the movies with Huai'an. How could it be free? We have a TV at home, but we insisted on going out and spending money! You'll have to start a family and raise children, and there will be plenty of expenses. You're young and don't know how to save money. When things get tough and you need money, you'll get anxious and angry."
Gu Zhinian gave her a piece of meat with chopsticks, "Mom, we are in love right now, it's not good to enjoy ourselves now. Once we get married, we will be entangled with housework and children every day, and we won't be able to go out even if we want to. How pitiful!"
Li Yuling thought about the suffering she had endured over the years and shut up.
"That's true, hey! When a woman gets married, it's like being reborn twice. The first time, she had no control over herself, and the second time, she has no choice either. Just the numerous household chores, the elderly, and the children trap a woman's life. Isn't it just about enjoying herself before marriage?"
After dinner, Gu Zhinian pulled out the suitcase and packed his clothes. Li Yuling looked after the children, and Yun Muye washed dishes in the kitchen.
Yun Muye wiped his hands and walked to the bedroom, "Why are you packing?"
Gu Zhinian sat on the bed and folded clothes while talking to him.
"The court sent me to An City for three months of training. I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon. Actually, it was because of you that Sister Qiuxia chose me."
"An City?" Yun Muye asked.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Yun Muye helped her pack her clothes.
“When I was seriously injured, I received rehabilitation training at the Anshi Sanatorium.”
"What a coincidence." Gu Zhinian looked up at him in surprise.
Yun Muye chuckled and said, "Don't forget to call me when you get there."
"knew."
"Go to bed early at night, get up a little earlier in the morning, eat a good breakfast, and don't be late for study."
"knew!"
"Be careful when you're out and about, and call me if anything happens."
"I know!" Gu Zhinian laughed at him, "You treat me like a child. I can take care of myself, and so can you. Mom is alone at home looking after little Tangyuan, so go home early if you have nothing to do."
