Chapter 219 Going to Primary School
The days go by fast.
Fast forward to 1977.
"Yaoyao, mom is here." Xiuzhu stood at the school gate and shouted inside. When she saw the little adult walking towards her in a serious manner with a schoolbag on his back, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
"Mom." Gu Chuyao is a cool and aloof little male god outside, but when he sees his favorite mother, he breaks down instantly and runs over excitedly, with a red little face, and throws himself into Xiuzhu's arms.
Xiuzhu handed her son the cream popsicle she had prepared long ago, and bent down to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you, Mom." Gu Chuyao raised his handsome face with a sweet smile on his face. He stood there obediently and let his mother do whatever she wanted.
It was now the beginning of September and the sun in Shanghai was still very strong. Xiuzhu did not dare to stay for long and walked towards home holding her baby son's hand.
"Let's go home. Grandma He made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs today."
"Okay, Yaoyao wants to eat with mom."
The mother and son chatted and soon arrived home.
"I'm back. I was just about to look for you. Thank you for your hard work, my dear." Gu Yu walked to his wife, embraced her, and spoke in a gentle voice.
Xiuzhu replied to him coquettishly, "Humph, it's good that you know."
But in fact, she understood him in her heart. Gu Yu served as the mayor of Shanghai and had been very busy in recent years, especially in the first two years. Many people were dissatisfied with his high position at such a young age and always secretly made trouble for him from time to time.
During those two years, Gu Yu was very busy, and he used his swift and decisive methods to subdue those old people who did not obey him.
"My dear, I had a sudden meeting and was delayed for some time. I will definitely go with you to pick up Gu Chuyao tomorrow." The man's tone sounded apologetic.
Xiuzhu didn't really blame him. Over the years, he had protected her and her daughter from the elements and provided them with a high-quality living environment. She remembered all of this. "Well, it's only a 10-minute walk. I'm fine by myself. You don't need to worry about me. You might as well take a rest after work. Look at what you've done for yourself over the past few years.
"Last time, people mistook me for your concubine."
Gu Yu was just moved by his wife's sympathy for him, but was choked by her next words.
Although Xiuzhu is already 30 years old, time has been particularly kind to her. In addition, she has lived a pampered life in recent years. Her husband loves her and her son is sensible. She doesn't have to worry about anything, so her appearance has not changed at all.
She is still as beautiful and dazzling as ever, and no one would question if she said she was 18 years old.
But Gu Yu is different. Although he is still handsome and tall, as the mayor of Shanghai over the years, he has to take care of all matters big and small.
Even though he secretly used Xiuzhu's skin care products every night to prevent the gap between him and his wife from widening, she only looked 5 or 6 years younger than his actual age.
You have to know that Gu Yu is already 37 years old today, and he is 5.6 years younger, so he looks like a man in his 30s, but Xiuzhu still looks like she is no more than 20 years old.
Coupled with his high-ranking aura and Xiuzhu's overly beautiful face, he was inevitably misunderstood when he went out...
Gu Yu didn't want to discuss this sad topic, so he looked at the brat who was watching the fun next to him and asked, "How about you, as a primary school student now, what do you feel?"
"I don't have any feelings. I have already mastered the knowledge I learned." Gu Chuyao answered truthfully.
Gu Yu: "Even if you know it, you should be more restrained. If you can't just listen to the lectures, it's really boring. You can study the senior courses on your own and get along well with your classmates."
Gu Chuyao: "I know, but Dad, those classmates are so stupid. I have nothing in common with them."
Xiuzhu said that she felt implied, and it turned out that she was the only stupid person in the family.
She smelled the delicious food and felt a little hungry. She didn't want to listen to the two talking about topics that she, a poor student, had no interest in, so she interrupted them and said, "Okay, wash your hands and eat. We can talk at the table if you have anything else."
The father and son moved in unison, shut their mouths and stopped talking, then went to wash their hands and eat in silence.
Today is Gu Chuyao's first day in elementary school. Xiuzhu is very ceremonial and specially asked Aunt He to prepare a rich dinner. She also went to the Friendship Store and bought a cream cake at noon.
This is a rare thing that has only recently become available. It is ridiculously expensive and not many people buy it. But Xiuzhu is not short of money and buys it for herself and her son every week.
There were many birthday candles left at home, so she put one on the cake on a whim, looked at her son and said softly, "Yaoyao, today is your first day of school. Let's commemorate it. You blow out the candles, and then let Dad take a picture of us later. Um, Mom wishes you better and better academic performance in the future."
Children all like these rituals, and Gu Chuyao is no exception. He felt his mother’s love for him, and his face was full of smiles. He shyly leaned over and kissed his mother on the cheek.
After Gu Yu's constant brainwashing, Gu Chuyao always thought that he was a man when he was five years old, and that a man should not stick to his mother.
But he often couldn't help it, so every time he would be shy while getting close to his mother.
Xiuzhu's heart melted when she saw her son's little appearance. Before dinner, she asked Gu Yu to help her take many intimate photos of her and her son.
Gu Yu became jealous and childish, and asked Gu Chuyao to take photos of him and Xiuzhu, and the number of photos had to be the same as that of Xiuzhu and Gu Chuyao.
Gu Chuyao was not willing to be outdone. He thought that this was to celebrate his start of school, so he should have more photos than his father.
…
Finally, Xiuzhu couldn't bear it anymore and called Aunt He to help take two family photos of the three of them to end the scene.
Otherwise it would be endless...
