Chapter 200 Changing the Name on the Household Registration
The gifts for Grandpa were Chinese medicine and freshly picked fruit from the space.
Ren Shiyou loves fresh fruit. He smiled and accepted the fruit. Seeing that there were still leaves on the fruit, he asked, "Was this freshly picked?"
Lin Shanshan replied, "They were grown at school and picked this morning. They're fresh."
Grandpa Ren nodded and asked, "Is everything going smoothly at school?"
Lin Shanshan nodded: "Grandpa, everything went smoothly, and the teachers and students are all doing well."
"That's good, that's good."
After recovering from his illness, Ren Shiyou went to the military base every day. He must have been exercising regularly, and now he is in good health.
My second and fourth uncles, who live in Beijing, couldn't make it back in time. Only my third uncle, Ren Guochang, Ren Shanhe, and Ren Wuyang were present for dinner.
Dinner was plentiful, but Gu Yiye, who had already eaten a lot at the Lin family's house at noon, couldn't eat much more. Lin Shanshan, who was pregnant with four babies, got hungry quickly.
Thus, the scene unfolded where Gu Yiye peeled shrimp, removed the bones, and served soup to Lin Shanshan, while Lin Shanshan ate attentively.
Gu Yiye only started eating after Lin Shanshan had finished eating.
Seeing that Gu Yiye was no longer busy, Old Master Ren raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a toast together."
"Ah Ye, you drink too. Don't go back to school tonight. Aunt Xiang cleans the room on the second floor every day."
Seeing Lin Shanshan nod, Gu Yiye picked up his wine glass and said, "Okay, I wish Grandpa good health."
After a few rounds of drinks, Gu Yiye said, "Grandpa, I'd like to go back to the army early, is that alright?"
Before Grandpa Ren could answer, the lively Ren Wuyang spoke first: "Great! Great! That way, Big Brother can teach me shooting."
The more composed Ren Shanhe nodded in agreement.
They both witnessed Gu Yiye killing Ming Kun; his marksmanship was truly amazing.
Ren Shiyou sat in the main seat, looking at Gu Yiye with a beaming smile, and said, "Okay, of course."
The moment the old man saw Gu Yiye, he felt that he was very suitable to make contributions in the army.
Ren Guochang said, "Aye, you were a platoon leader in the Jiangcheng Military Region before. I'll transfer your file here, and you can start as a platoon leader again, how about that?"
Ren Shiyou put down his chopsticks and said, "If that's the case, then we'll have to use the name Gu Yiye from now on?"
They've already recognized their grandson; it wouldn't make sense not to change his surname.
The old man said, "Even if you don't use the Jiangcheng Military Region's file, with your excellent skills and physical abilities, you can quickly rise to platoon leader, company commander, or even higher."
Besides, your surname is Ren.
Of course, Mr. Ren didn't say that.
Gu Yiye thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I don't want others to think that I became a platoon leader because of you. I want to climb the ranks based on my own abilities in the future."
Ren Shiyou was somewhat displeased: "So you've always had the surname Gu?"
Gu Yiye said, "Grandpa, I'll change my registered name to Ren Yiye, but in the army, I'll still be called Gu Yiye."
"I like the word 'Yiye' (一野). 'Ye' (野) represents being unrestrained and free, and 'Yiye' (一野) means to strive for first place."
"Moreover, 'First Field Army' is an abbreviation for the First Field Army of China, which is the main force of China. I want to use this name."
Lin Shanshan rolled her eyes inwardly as she listened to Gu Yiye's words.
This wasn't how Gu Laoliu explained it before; he said Yiye was a wild child.
[The readers felt sorry for him and insisted that the author change his name!]
After hearing Gu Yiye's explanation, Ren Shiyou thought to himself: It's fine to change the name on the household registration; it can be considered as recognizing one's ancestors.
"Okay, then change your household registration tomorrow and report to the army."
Gu Yiye stood up happily and saluted: "Thank you, sir."
With the matter resolved and the decision made to stay for the night, Gu Yiye began to drink heartily.
Around 9 o'clock, everyone took their mooncakes and went to the courtyard to admire the round moon.
The old man, having drunk some alcohol, became more emotional. Gazing at the bright moon, he seemed somewhat melancholic.
“Everyone says that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion. Your second and fourth uncles can’t come back from the capital, but I still have something to look forward to.”
"I will never see your father again."
Gu Yiye looks a lot like Ren Guofan. Ren Shiyou looks at Gu Yiye and misses his eldest son, who died young, even more.
Gu Yiye said, "Grandpa, we will stay with you. It's late, go back to your room and rest."
Lin Shanshan returned to the living room and, when no one was looking, took some spiritual spring water, brewed some tea, and handed it to Ren Shiyou: "Grandpa, have some tea to help you sober up."
Ren Shiyou drank some tea and became much more sober. He wiped away his tears and went back to his room to sleep.
My third uncle's house wasn't far from here. Seeing the old man return to his room, he also took Shanhe Wuyang back with him.
Only Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan remained in the courtyard.
The clouds disperse, and the bright moon shines on the earth.
Lin Shanshan exclaimed, "Honey, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"
