When Du Yuhan heard her mother mention other acquaintances in City C, she asked, "Brother Gu, do I know him?"
Yu Huiru said, "Have you forgotten that you saved his son?"
Du Yuhan asked curiously, "Is it the Brother Gu named Gu Qishen whom we met last time?"
Yu Huiru nodded and said, "That's right, it's him. He was transferred here a year ago and is the head of the local government department. The child you rescued came with him too. When there's a chance, we'll invite them to come over to visit so everyone can get to know each other."
Our family and the Gu family have always been on good terms. Grandma Huayang, your Aunt Liao, and I have been good friends for many years. So, we can always help each other out if needed.
Du Yuhan said, "Why didn't I see the child's mother at the police station last time?"
Yu Huiru said, "That child is also a pitiful child. His mother died in childbirth, leaving behind a crying baby. Your Aunt Liao took on the responsibility of taking care of the child, and there is also an old aunt who helps take care of him."
Although the child's mother and your brother Gu's marriage was an arranged marriage and the two didn't have much affection for each other, it's still hard to accept that they're gone.
Your brother Gu also insists on not remarrying and wants to raise the child alone. The family all advises him to find someone else. He got impatient staying in Kyoto and transferred to City C for work. It just so happens that we all know each other and have a good relationship. We can look out for each other.”
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "That child's name is Gu Huayang, right? It's pitiful that he lost his mother at such a young age. Men are generally more careless and can't take as good a care of their children as mothers. Since Brother Gu has to go to work, who will take care of the child at home?"
Yu Huiru replied, "Your Aunt Liao found a woman in her fifties from the countryside to help take care of the child for your brother Gu. It's not bad with that older aunt taking care of the child. At least the child hasn't been separated from his father."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "That child is quite cute. When he's a little older, he can play with Haobo."
That evening, Du Yuhan personally cooked the large carp. When He Chenglin returned home and saw that his daughter had cooked it herself, he was so happy that he even had a couple of drinks.
When Yu Huiru was resting that evening, she told her husband about Du Yuhan's plans.
He Chenglin naturally supports his daughter's desire to study medicine. Actually, he hopes she will attend high school and then go to university. But then he thinks that if she goes to university, she will definitely have to leave them, and it will also affect her ability to find a partner.
After all, my daughter is already seventeen this year and will be an adult next year. She'll be too old to go to college after finishing high school.
Studying at a medical school is a good option; becoming a doctor in the future is also a good career choice. If your initial education level is low, you can pursue further studies later.
He knew his daughter was a very good doctor; she could even cure Han Yixian's leg, which had been given a death sentence by a renowned doctor at Kyoto General Hospital. This showed just how good his daughter's medical skills were.
Having real skills means you won't have to worry about finding a future.
Yu Huiru thought of what her daughter brought back today and said, "Old He, our daughter said she was going out for a walk today, but she came back with a lot of things. In addition to the dried goods she sent us before, there was also dried meat, white sugar, brown sugar, etc. She also brought back dozens of eggs, a piece of pork weighing several pounds, and a big carp, which is the one you're eating tonight."
I noticed the meat didn't look like domestic pork, and when I asked my daughter, I found out it was wild boar.
I was worried my daughter might have risked buying it on the black market, but she said she didn't. She has her own channels. She told me not to ask. She said there was no danger and I could eat it without worry.
I've been feeling really uneasy. How could a young girl like her have such powerful connections?
He Chenglin said, "I've always felt that our daughter is extraordinary. Look at the things she sends us every time—they're all of very high quality. Even people with connections might not be able to get such good things. And that milk powder, the quality is beyond question."
This shows that our daughter doesn't treat us like outsiders; she's genuinely close to us and trusts us. We should trust her too.
Our daughter doesn't want us to ask, so we won't. I'll take care of everything.
The next day, He Chenglin called Gu Qishen and explained that his daughter wanted to study medicine. He wanted Gu Qishen to help him pull some strings so that Du Yuhan could take the entrance exam.
Actually, this medical college mainly trains nurses and village doctors.
There is a severe shortage of medical personnel across the country. Anyone with a junior high school diploma who can pass the entrance exam can attend a medical college. Most of them will be assigned to township health centers to bolster the local medical workforce.
Du Yuhan just wanted a diploma to make it easier to practice medicine in the future.
Gu Qishen already knew that Du Yuhan, who had saved his son, was the daughter of the He family, so he was naturally willing to help when he heard Uncle He's request.
There are very few educated people nowadays, and medical colleges can't even fill all their places every year. If someone is willing to take the exam, they're guaranteed admission if they pass.
Gu Qishen knew that Du Yuhan had returned to the He family. On the third weekend, he brought his son and gifts such as milk powder, canned fruit, and fabric that he had asked someone to buy to visit the He family again to thank Du Yuhan.
When Gu Qishen entered the He family home, he saw a beautiful girl holding He Haobo and knew that this was Du Yuhan. Oh, now her name is He Muhan.
When Gu Qishen first met Du Yuhan, she was wearing big glasses and had long bangs, so he couldn't see her face clearly at all. Only today did he see Du Yuhan's true appearance.
The little girl is very pretty. Although she looks a lot like Aunt Yu, she is even prettier than her.
The young girl has a wonderful temperament, poised and graceful, elegant yet charming; she is a rare beauty.
He Chenglin was home today because it was the weekend. When he saw the Gu family father and son come to his house, he quickly invited Gu Qishen to sit down.
Gu Qishen took out the gifts and said, "Aunt Yu, these are some fabrics I bought for Xiaohan. I don't know if she'll like them. I haven't properly thanked Xiaohan for what happened last time. And these milk powder and canned food are for the baby."
Yu Huiru said, "Why did you buy so much stuff? What kind of relationship do we have? You don't need to be so polite."
Du Yuhan also said, "Yes, Brother Gu, I was just reporting my discovery. You don't need to keep it in mind. Besides, our two families are so close, there's no need to worry about it too much."
Gu Qishen said, "You have done a great favor for our Gu family, and no amount of thanks is too much. However, supplies are very tight right now, so this is just a small gift. I hope you don't mind."
Yu Huiru said, "This formula is very hard to get. Huayang should drink formula too. Take this formula back with you later. We can also get Haobo's formula from somewhere. We adults can manage, but we can't let the child suffer, otherwise it will affect his development and growth."
Du Yuhan looked at Gu Huayang, who was snuggling next to his father, and smiled, "Huayang, do you still remember Auntie? Auntie even held you."
Gu Huayang is almost three years old and looks at the beautiful aunt with a friendly smile in front of him with curiosity.
