Gu Lei felt relieved only after hearing that his second sister-in-law's notice had been found. Although Mother Lu and the others said that he could go to school without the notice, he had also asked his classmates and they said it was impossible. He knew they wanted to reassure him, so he pretended not to know.
Although my second sister-in-law's situation is special and it must have been difficult for her to enroll in school without a notice, I feel relieved now that I heard that she has been found. He has final exams coming up soon and really can't be distracted. He needs to get good grades and bring them home for the New Year.
Gu Lei took two days to take the exam. He did not go home directly after the test. He wanted to buy some things for his two nephews. If he only gave them to Ningning and Jingrui, they would definitely feel uncomfortable, and his sister-in-law would also have opinions.
After finishing his last exam and returning home, Lu's mother first asked him, "Gu Lei, how did you do on the exam?"
"Mother Lu, I think it's okay. I can basically do it."
"That's good. Does that mean we can just go straight to winter vacation? Are you going to spend the New Year with us this year?"
"Mom Lu, should I go back home for the New Year? I want to go shopping tomorrow and buy some things for Ningning and Jingrui to take back."
Mother Lu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow. I have nothing to do tomorrow morning, so I'd be happy to go shopping with you."
"Mother Lu, I also want to buy a ticket for the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Are you in such a hurry to go back? If you're not in a hurry, just stay a few more days and get your results before going back. It will be inconvenient for us to contact you after the results are out."
"Then I'll come back a few days later. The school said the results will be out in a week."
"Then those few days won't matter. I can spend the holiday playing with my classmates for a few days before going back. I won't have anything to do there anyway."
Gu Lei didn't buy anything. He only bought a piece of clothing for Jingrui and Ningning. How could this child have money for school? He must have bought everything for Ningning because he was afraid that Jingrui would feel uncomfortable. He had nothing for himself.
In the end, Mother Lu bought Jingrui a set of clothes. Although Gu Lei kept refusing, Mother Lu still bought it for him. Gu Lei wished she had known that he had come quietly.
The next day, he made an appointment with a few classmates to go out for a walk. The rest of the time he basically studied at home and sometimes helped Aunt Zhang with some work. Gu Lei is a smart and hardworking person and gets along well with them.
After waiting for seven days, the time for the results to be announced finally came. Gu Lei was still a little nervous. Although he felt that he had done well on the test paper, there were many people who performed better than him, so he was still worried that he would not be able to rank high.
Gu Lei's grades are pretty good. After a semester of hard work, he got the second place in the class and the sixth place in the whole school. Although it is not the best, he is already satisfied. However, he has to continue to work hard in the future and strive to get the first place in the whole grade.
When they got home, they saw that Gu Lei was in a good mood and thought that his grades should be good. "How are they? Are your grades okay?"
"Not bad? But there's still room for improvement. I'm second in the class and sixth in the grade. There are still five people ahead of me who I can surpass."
"That's great. It will definitely be better next year once you've adapted. After all, it's going to be hard for you to adapt at first. It's not bad to have a good student at home."
"Mother Lu, you're exaggerating. Second sister-in-law and Brother Mu Fan are both amazing. You've already experienced what it's like to be a good student."
"Gu Lei, those two aren't great students. They've never even made it into the top ten in the class. We feel so accomplished having you here. It's as if your grades are our pride."
"Of course I am. Without Mother Lu, I wouldn't have achieved what I have. By the way, Mother Lu, I'm going back tomorrow. Are you going to celebrate the New Year with my second sister-in-law today?"
"We won't go this year. Let's go to Mu Fan's place during the end of the year holiday. I heard that Mu Fan's wife is pregnant. Let's go and see her."
"Does that mean she's about to give birth?"
"There's still more than a month left. Let's go over and take a look. If there's any need, we'll take care of them. If not, we'll come back."
Gu Lei didn't say anything else. Mother Lu spoke first, "You have a train to catch tomorrow, so go to bed early today."
"OK."
The second time Gu Lei took the train was to go home. His mood was completely different from the first time. Last time he was reluctant to leave home, but this time he was excited and thrilled as he returned home with good grades.
Gu Lei didn't tell his family that he was going home today. He wanted to give everyone a surprise, but he didn't expect to see Gu Feng standing there as soon as he got out of the station?
Gu Lei said in surprise, "Second brother? Why are you here?"
Gu Feng looked at Gu Lei as if he were an idiot. Didn’t he say his grades were good? “I’ll come pick you up.”
"Brother, you knew I was coming back today? How did you know?"
"Of course I know. I called you in advance. I can't really trust you coming back alone from such a long distance. Let's go."
Gu Lei thought that his second brother was so worried about him. If Gu Feng knew, he would definitely say, you are wrong, I am not worried about you, it is your second sister-in-law who is thinking about you. Now that you are so old, only your second sister-in-law is afraid that you will get lost. When he was this age, he went out by himself.
When Gu Lei and Gu Feng arrived home, the meal was already prepared, waiting for them. You were very happy to see Gu Lei. They hadn't seen Gu Lei for half a year and still missed him a little.
"Gu Lei, life over there is pretty good. You've gained weight."
"Mom, Mrs. Lu is so nice to me. By the way, look at my grades. Although they are not the best, I will definitely improve next time I come back."
When it comes to the results, no one was surprised. They had known it for a long time and the surprise was over. They didn't expect Gu Lei to study so well. At first they were afraid that they could not keep up, but now they are a little proud.
"Mom and Dad, aren't you surprised or happy?"
"We already knew this. What's the surprise? We've already been surprised."
Gu Lei felt a little aggrieved. Why did he feel like his family didn't seem very happy about his return? They weren't even excited to see his grades. Could it be that they had lost their love after being away for half a year?
Lu Wanwan misread that something was wrong with Gu Lei. "We were all surprised last night, but now we really can't be surprised anymore. Look, you're back and we've prepared so many delicious foods to welcome you. Aren't we very happy?"
After hearing what his second sister-in-law said, Gu Lei didn't seem so aggrieved anymore when he saw a bunch of delicious food. After all, he was just a child, and his emotions were hidden on his face.
After dinner, Gu Lei took out the clothes he bought for Ningning and Jingrui. They were really surprised. He couldn't let the children be unhappy. They knew it when they talked on the phone that day. Gu Lei didn't buy anything for himself, but bought some for the children. His family praised him for being sensible.
Lu Wanwan also took out a cotton coat and gave it to Gu Lei, saying that it was a New Year's coat made for him, the same style they usually made. Gu Lei was very happy that his second sister-in-law thought of him. Most importantly, the coat was beautiful. He had never seen such beautiful clothes when shopping in Beijing.
"By the way, Xue Kai came to see you on the day we got off and left something for you. Find some time to go see him."
"Brother, I understand. I also brought him a gift. I will go to see him tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, the friendship between the two people started from a fight. Unexpectedly, the fight allowed Gu Lei to gain such a good friend. They care about each other. Who doesn’t want such a friendship?
