After staying at home for five days, Song Chu packed his luggage, took the letter written by Mr. Wei, and set off for the provincial capital with Gu Yue, Song Ping, and Gu Jin.

"This car you gave me as a reward is really useful, otherwise we would have to squeeze into the bus." Song Chu said lazily while sitting in the passenger seat.

The road conditions were poor these days and the smell on the bus was still very strong. She was afraid every time she took the bus.

Gu Yue smiled and said, "I just wanted to make it convenient, so I applied for this."

The point is that Song Xiaochu really wanted a car at that time, so of course he had to satisfy her.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Jin woke up from Song Ping's arms.

Song Chu turned his head and looked at him and asked, "Xiao Jin, this time we will apply for you to be transferred directly to the fifth grade, but you have to pass the test."

Primary school is now a five-year system, and it was only changed back to a six-year system in 1979.

Gu Jin was too young to go to junior high school, but he had already finished all the books for elementary school, so they chose the fifth grade for him.

"Okay, I'll take the exam then." Gu Jin nodded. He was quite confident in his results.

Song Ping smiled and said, "Our little Jin is really amazing. He skipped so many grades in one go."

Gu Jin smiled and leaned on her, "Thank you Aunt Pingping for the compliment."

In the days since he came here from the farm, besides his uncle and Aunt Chuchu, it was Aunt Pingping who spent the most time with him, and she was particularly patient and gentle.

In the past, when he mentioned the word "mother", what he thought of was coldness and no expectations at all.

But the textbooks all say that mothers are gentle and kind, and he feels that someone like Aunt Pingping is like a mother.

"After we go to the provincial capital, Xiao Jin will have to trouble Sister Ping to help take care of her." Gu Yue said a little embarrassedly.

He and Song Chu both went to a research institute this time. Sometimes, once they started working on a project, they might stay in the laboratory for several days or half a month.

Originally, he wanted to find someone to take care of Xiaojin's daily life and diet, but Sister Ping took the initiative to take over this job.

He could see that Sister Ping really liked Xiao Jin, and he felt more at ease having her taking care of him.

Their family also needs to repay the other person's kindness. It would not be appropriate to give gifts or anything like that, so if Sister Ping has any problems in the future, they will help her.

Song Ping chuckled and said, "Why are you so polite? I really like Xiao Jin, and with him by my side, I'll have company in the provincial capital."

"You and Chuchu are a couple, so your nephew is naturally a member of our Song family. Don't be so formal with me in the future." She said, touching Gu Jin's head.

Gu Jin also rubbed her hand in a rather dependent manner, "I also like Aunt Pingping very much. She takes care of me now, and I will also take care of her when I grow up."

It would be nice if Aunt Pingping was his mother.

Song Ping's eyes were full of smiles. This little guy always made people feel soft inside. "That's great. I also want to thank Xiao Jin first."

Song Chu was naturally very happy to see that the two of them got along so well, "It's great that you two are like this."

Sister Ping is going to the provincial capital to do a new job. At first she didn’t know anyone and the environment was unfamiliar. She was all alone, so it was nice to have the little one to keep her company.

They talked and laughed along the way, and time passed quickly. Song Chu helped Gu Yue drive for a while, and they arrived at the provincial capital at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

This time, they will go directly to the best hotel to check in, and then report to their respective units tomorrow.

The distance between Song Chu and Gu Yue's research institutes is not very far, but the provincial machinery factory is much farther away. However, they can drive home, which doesn't take much time. After all, the traffic jams are not as severe as in later generations.

Song Chu asked Qin Qiulan for help and rented a yard near the provincial machinery factory so that they could live together, which was more convenient.

Gu Jin transferred to the Provincial No. 1 Primary School, which happened to be near the machinery factory, so Song Ping could pick him up directly after get off work.

The yard had not been cleaned yet, so they took a break and decided to go and check on it and tidy it up, and buy whatever was missing and set it up.

"Chu Chu, I miss you so much!" Qin Qiulan pounced on Song Chu as soon as he walked to the door of the hotel.

Song Chu also hugged her, "Girl, I miss you too."

Gu Yue felt helpless seeing Qin Qiulan being so attached to his Song Xiaochu.

His Song Xiaochu is just too popular, popular with both men and women.

Qin Qiulan took Song Chu's hand and said affectionately: "You and Sister Ping come to the provincial capital to work, and we can often make appointments to go ice skating, eat, and watch movies."

Song Chu smiled and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment after we have a rest."

Women all need best friends.

Song Ping also liked Qin Qiulan's personality, and they got along quite well with each other.

Now she can be more relaxed, "Yes, we will follow you from now on."

Qin Qiulan patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me."

She looked at Gu Jin with a smile and handed over a bag in her hand, "Xiao Jin, this is a gift from your aunt."

She had talked to Song Chu on the phone before and knew that Gu Jin would come to school with her, so she specially prepared a school bag and stationery as gifts.

Gu Jin did not answer the call immediately, but looked at Gu Yue and the other two.

Song Chu smiled and touched his head, "This is a gift from your aunt Qiulan, just take it."

Only then did Gu Jin take the pocket, but unlike other children he did not immediately open it to see what was inside.

Instead, he smiled politely and said to Qin Qiulan, "Thank you, Aunt Qiulan."

Qin Qiulan's heart almost melted when she saw Gu Jin, who had a fair and delicate appearance, dressed neatly and refreshingly, and was polite like a little gentleman.

"How could Brother Gu Yue have such a cute nephew? I really like Xiao Jin." She couldn't help but reached out and pinched Gu Jin's little face.

There's nothing she can do about it, because the kids around her who are her age are all naughty and jumpy.

Song Chu chuckled: "In the future, you can find someone to marry and have a child yourself."

Qin Qiulan smiled and pinched her, blushing and saying, "It's still too early for me."

"Do you have a partner?" Song Chu saw that she was surprisingly shy, so he asked with a blink of his eyes.

Qin Qiulan then nodded shyly: "Yes, I have it."

"I'll introduce them to you in a few days." She looked at Song Chu and winked, "In fact, you can also have a child with Brother Gu Yue in the future."

Song Chu was not as shy as her. Instead, he smiled generously and said, "If I can give birth to a child as cute as Xiao Jin in the future, I would be willing to do so."

"Me too." Qin Qiulan chuckled.

There is no need to be so polite or embarrassed between best friends. Just say whatever you want to say.

When Gu Yue heard what the two said, a smile appeared on his face. He was also looking forward to having a child who looked like Song Xiaochu after marrying her.

After spending a long time with Gu Jin these days, they have begun to like children very much.
