Chapter 41 Talking about the past for the first time
Ye Nuan had never talked about her past with anyone else. Firstly, she felt there was nothing to say, and secondly, no one had ever cared about her growth experience before.
However, she felt that since she already knew about the Gu family's situation, she should naturally tell them about her own experience. Besides, it was all in the past, and Ye Nuan's heart was no longer disturbed.
"The director said I was picked up at the door of the orphanage and reported to the police, but nothing was found. At that time, technology such as cameras was not very comprehensive, especially in small towns.
When we were in elementary school, the orphanage could still afford our stationery and other expenses, but when we reached junior high school, we needed more money to buy things, and the orphanage was far away from the county junior high school, so we had to live on campus and pay accommodation fees. We had submitted poverty certificates, and the process was very slow, so on weekends and holidays, we older children had to find odd jobs ourselves.
But we weren't old enough, and we were temporary, so there wasn't much demand for us. It was a friend of a life teacher at the orphanage who, out of courtesy, asked us to help with the dishes. My junior high school was pretty good, and studying wasn't too difficult. I just dreaded physical education because I wasn't very athletic.
Later, when I was in high school, the orphanage had basically no obligation to take care of us. We could only apply for student loans and scholarships, and we had to find odd jobs during the holidays, after all, the student loans had to be repaid.
At that time, I always heard people working in the store say that doctors and teachers had good and stable jobs, but I felt that I was not very good at speaking, so I thought about studying medicine in college, applying to the best medical university in our province, and becoming a doctor.
Later, I was admitted and recommended for postgraduate study. ……” Ye Nuan recounted her experience.
The conversation kept on turning to work, and Gu Muwan and Gu Moci were listening silently. It was the first time for both of them to know that Ye Nuan had actually been working to earn money since junior high school. They also remembered that Lu Ming said that she was still in the hospital and only drank porridge and ate steamed buns and vegetables.
For so many years, she should have lived a carefree life, even a life of luxury. Unexpectedly, while they were enjoying a table full of delicacies from land and sea, her sister might not even have a full meal.
While they were on vacation abroad, her younger sister was probably busy serving dishes and washing them to pay for her accommodation. The daughter of the Gu family should have had a happy childhood, a confident and outgoing youth, and the capital to do anything, but Ye Nuan's childhood was hard and difficult, and her youth was helpless, sometimes even worrying about where to stay at night.
Gu Muwan's eyes were filled with tears, which could not be stopped. She hugged Ye Nuan tightly: "Nuanbao, we can never be separated again."
Gu Moci's eyes also turned red. He stretched out his hands and hugged his two sisters tightly in his arms: "Nuannuan, I will never let you experience anything bad again."
Ye Nuan felt their sincerity and patted them gently: "Isn't my life good now? And I have you guys in the future, so I will never be lonely again."
Gu Moci and Gu Muwan knew that the pain Ye Nuan had experienced was far greater than what she had described. Other people had parents, and the school held parent-teacher meetings, but Ye Nuan didn't. They really couldn't imagine how strong little Ye Nuan had been at that time.
After calming down for a while, Gu Muwan suddenly remembered something.
"!! Nuanbao! You have been working for a year, right?" Gu Muwan suddenly reacted.
"Well, I guess so. This is my first year as a full-time employee." Ye Nuan answered truthfully. The first year was all internship.
"That? That's not right! 26 years old, does that mean you graduated from graduate school at the age of 24? University graduates usually graduate at 22, and most medical studies take 5 years! Did you skip a grade too?" Gu Muwan was puzzled, and Gu Moci on the side also looked at Ye Nuan.
"Um... no, I only went to school for two years in the morning. The county wasn't very strict back then. I went to kindergarten at the orphanage for a year and then went to elementary school."
Gu Muwan was proud: "You are worthy of being our family's warm treasure!"
