As soon as Zhou Huiyu finished speaking, Gu Shaoyong nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, a child who doesn't pick at his food is a good child, and good children always need to be rewarded."
As he spoke, Gu Shaoyong took a very delicate fountain pen out of his bag and handed it to Yun Duo, saying, "Although you first-graders all use pencils to write, I have seen your handwriting and it is already very good. I bought this fountain pen when I visited Y country last time. The pen body is relatively thin, which is just right for a little girl like you. You can use it to practice your handwriting."
“I brought you some basic calligraphy practice books. Try tracing them first. When you get a little older and your wrists are stronger, you can start practicing calligraphy formally. It won’t hurt to write your characters better.”
At least, once she officially returns, she won't be ridiculed or harassed in this matter.
"Thanks."
Thank you for your gift, I really like it.
Yun Duo accepted the pen with both hands, thanked him first, then casually held it to test its feel. She found it very comfortable, just as Gu Shaoyong had said, very suitable for girls. She thanked him again.
Hearing Yun Duo say she liked it, Gu Shaoyong was also happy. He nodded and said, "I'm glad you like it. Try tracing it yourself first. If you like practicing calligraphy, I'll find you a teacher later."
“No need for a teacher.” Yun Duo shook her head and said, “I can practice on my own.” She paused and then added, “My Chinese teacher at school writes very well. When school starts again, I can ask him for help.”
“You child…” Judging from Yun Duo’s words, she still didn’t want to leave this small place, at least not now. Gu Shaoyong was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a while, he shook his head helplessly and said, “Never mind,” then looked at Yun Duo and continued, “The New Year is coming soon. The main reason I came this time is to pick up your mother and take her back to Beijing for the New Year.”
“Your mother will miss you, but after all, the Spring Festival is a big day for our Chinese people to reunite as a family. If she doesn’t go back, firstly, her family will be unhappy, and secondly, it will be easier to arouse suspicion.”
"Although your mother and I both hope that you can come to your senses and return to our family as soon as possible, we cannot force you if you are unwilling now. Therefore, your mother and I have discussed it and decided that we will try our best to keep your existence a secret for as long as possible until you are willing to return. We will keep it a secret for as long as possible, and ideally, we can keep it a secret forever."
"Because if they only have suspicions, they'll only do a little investigation, mostly relying on people who operate in the gray area. But if it's really exposed, I think... they'll probably use their own resources."
“We have other ways to deal with people who use the gray area. If they really use their power, it’s a small matter if we break off relations. But if something happens to you, I can’t accept it, and your mother can’t accept it even more.”
"So, your mother has to go back home for the New Year and can't stay here with you. Don't blame your mother... and don't..."
"Sigh, if you want to blame someone, blame me. Blame me, the father, for not having the ability to completely break ties with them yet. Otherwise, you and your mother could do whatever they wanted, and wouldn't be in this frustrating situation now."
