Chapter 283 I Didn’t See Brother Xiujin
The pain from his original family was not very obvious in Gu Ye, because he was slowly healed after getting married.
But Gu Peng didn't.
Before he had the chance to get married, he once again witnessed his biological father rolling into Gu's mother's bed with a village widow less than a month after his mother's death, and died on the 100th day.
He also unexpectedly learned that before his mother died, his father had already been having a passionate affair with the widow.
And the eldest brother and sister-in-law, who were the most partial to Gu's mother, actually called that woman "Mom" not long after Gu's mother left.
On the train from his hometown to Guangzhou, Gu Peng suddenly felt that nothing was interesting.
Find someone to marry and live with, saying that they will support each other and have children to take care of them in their old age.
But when he thought that his wife would remarry soon after his death and his children would call someone else dad, he felt that all this "having a companion when you are old" and "someone to take care of you when you are old" were nonsense.
After hearing what Gu Peng said, Gu Ye fell silent.
There was a hint of self-blame in his eyes when he looked at Gu Peng.
"Brother, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, times have changed. Who says dating is for the purpose of getting married? I'm fine the way I am."
Gu Ye didn't say anything, but emphasized one point: "But you are a gay man, and when it's your turn to be responsible, you must be responsible for your actions."
In other words - if someone dies, he will be held responsible.
Gu Ye passed, but to Tuan Tuan and the others, Gu Peng's words were simply a reversal of the heavenly power!
The people that the children have the most contact with since childhood are their parents, as well as their grandparents.
Their parents have a good relationship and treat them well, so while they have no lack of love, they also take it for granted that they will get married and have children in the future, and that their married life will be the same as their parents'.
But now...my uncle actually said that dating is not for the purpose of getting married, and people don’t necessarily have to get married.
They felt that their three perspectives had been challenged.
Shen Zhiyou was afraid that her son would become a non-marriage advocate if he continued listening, so she quickly changed the subject: "Let's go eat first. Isn't the seafood here very good and cheap?"
"right!"
Gu Peng smiled and said, "The seafood here is really good. The taste is different from ours, it's a bit lighter, but it's really delicious."
For self-employed people like Gu Peng, the things they have the most are money and time.
These days, I took Shen Zhiyou and her whole family to the beach, visited the clothing market, and toured the electronics city.
The clothing market has already had a huge impact on them.
But the Electronic City gave them a bigger shock!
In the capital, the stereos, televisions, pagers, walkmans, and record players that were neatly displayed on the counters of department stores are now piled up in piles here, just like all the miscellaneous items!
And they also saw computers!
The computer is bigger than a TV, and when I asked the price, it turned out to be 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
My goodness, not to mention Shen Zhiyou and the others, even Gu Peng smacked his lips: "Why is this thing so expensive? What can it do?"
"It is very powerful in processing data files, which greatly improves the efficiency of office and research."
Tuantuan is most interested in things related to technology.
He loves to go to the library and science museum on weekends. When he sees computers, he can't even walk. "In Hong Kong, many units have equipped their employees with computers as office supplies, and many research institutes in the mainland have also purchased computers."
Gu Peng was stunned after hearing this.
But he knew that his nephew was an excellent student at Capital University. If he said he was amazing, then he really was amazing.
He touched his chin and asked, "Do you think this thing is profitable?"
Tuan Tuan nodded: "Yes."
Moreover, the profits involved are probably greater than anyone can imagine.
In the electronics city, Gu Peng wanted to buy a Walkman for Tuan Tuan and the others, but was stopped by Shen Zhiyou.
Who would have thought that on the day of departure, Gu Peng actually took out four Walkmans from his bag. "The kids went to college and high school, and I, as their uncle, never gave them anything. I got these from acquaintances. They don't cost much, so I took them all."
Tuan Tuan and the others looked at Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye.
Gu Peng stuffed it directly into their hands and said, "If it weren't for the money my second brother sent me when I came here, I would have starved to death. I wouldn't have survived for a few days. This little bit of money is really nothing. As an uncle, I can't even afford to buy something for my nephews and nieces."
Gu Ye nodded slightly: "Take it."
Tuan Tuan and the others accepted it and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"Well, why are you being so polite to me?"
As he spoke, seeing that the train had not arrived yet, he smiled and called Tuantuan and Yuanyuan aside: "I know what you two want to do. Don't worry, I will find a way first, and I will reply to you when I have news."
The uncle and nephew were still chatting.
When the car was about to arrive, Shen Zhiyou asked them to take their luggage and said to Gu Peng: "Your brother and I bought a big house in the capital. You can come back to the capital to celebrate the New Year in the future."
Gu Peng was stunned, his eyes sore, "Okay! Then I can take a few days off during the Chinese New Year this year, and go to the capital to spend a lively New Year with you."
After getting on the bus, the four children were reluctant to leave.
This uncle, who is a little weird but very kind to them and knows a lot of things they don’t know, is really interesting.
The gains and happiness they gained from their visit to Guangzhou this time are almost as great as their first visit to the capital!
On the way back, everyone was fiddling with their Walkmans.
Only Manman leaned against her mother, feeling a little disappointed: "I didn't even see Brother Xiujin."
Shen Zhiyou smiled and touched her daughter's braids: "The schedule is too tight this time, we can always meet next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan and Niannian, who had just been concentrating on playing with their Walkman, turned their heads to look at their sister, with the same expression: "What brother Xiujin? Aren't the three of us enough brothers? What kind of wild brother is that!"
Gu Ye: "Your brother and the others are right."
Manman: “………”
Shen Zhiyou: “….”
After returning, they devoted themselves to the summer training. I don’t know what Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were thinking, but they actually went to set up a stall to sell popsicles!
The children are getting darker day by day.
When the postman came to deliver the notice, I almost didn't recognize me!
"Congratulations!"
After a long time of identification, I finally recognized the two tall, dark-skinned boys in front of me as the handsome boys who were photographed by the Capital Daily reporter as the front-page news photo on the day of the college entrance examination: "Here are your admission letters, one from Capital University and the other from Tsinghua University, you are amazing!"
The notification letter from Capital University is in the group.
This time, he took the first place in the city in the college entrance examination, with full marks in mathematics and nearly full marks in comprehensive science. The teacher in the admissions office of Capital University almost smiled from ear to ear.
Yuanyuan's results are not as abnormal as Tuantuan's, but she is also among the top ten in the city.
The night the notice arrived, the threshold of their house was almost trampled down by people.
They all brought their children to seek advice from Tuantuan and Yuanyuan!
