Chapter 53 About the House
With the end of the banquet, Gu Muran's return to the Gu family also came to an end.
He stayed at home with Gu's mother and Gu Muwan for a few more days. During this time, the two took Ye Nuan for a full-body check-up. Apart from some malnutrition, there was nothing wrong with her.
After Gu Moci found out, he specially asked a nutritionist to prepare a stomach-nourishing recipe for Gu Muruan, and Gu Muruan's complexion gradually improved.
After Gu Muran's job transfer application was approved, Gu Muran said goodbye to Ye Nuan and started her new career journey with a new identity and a new mood.
In order to make it more convenient for Gu Muran to work, the Gu family arranged for a driver to pick her up during normal working hours. When she was on night shift or on duty, Gu Muran lived in the high-end apartment near the hospital that Gu Moci had installed for her.
Every child in the Gu family, except Gu Mochen and Gu Muyan who have not yet graduated from college, has his or her own temporary resting place. However, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu like to be lively, so except when they are busy, they let the children go back to the Gu family mansion.
At eight o'clock that morning, Gu Muran finished her night shift and rode the bike Gu Moci had bought her to keep her fit. Five minutes later, she returned to her apartment. Without rushing to catch up on sleep, she changed and sat on the sofa, lost in thought: "I have my own place now."
In fact, when Gu Muruan, no, when she was still Ye Nuan, she started working after graduation, except for the first year of internship, she could use her salary to buy some things for herself or for leisure and entertainment after paying off her student loan.
But she still had simple meals in the hospital restaurant for three meals a day, and she never wanted to be like other girls of the same age, eating snacks today and hot pot tomorrow.
Because she still wanted to have her own little house. From childhood to adulthood, she had a single bed in the school dormitory. After leaving the orphanage, she had to look for a part-time job that could provide a dormitory as soon as the school was on vacation.
She had a secret that she had never told anyone. After she finished the college entrance examination and was looking for a part-time job, she slept against the wall in the lobby of the train station for two nights.
Ye Nuan was helpless at the time, and she didn't want to trouble the orphanage director, who was already having a hard time. She had nowhere else to go. Fortunately, it was summer, so she wouldn't be freezing. On the third day, she went to her part-time job.
It was during those two nights that Ye Nuan decided to save money after graduating from university. She couldn't expect to save money from her freshman to senior year. Q County was a small town, not like the city. Working part-time in one summer couldn't even cover half of her tuition. She was lucky enough to earn enough to cover her basic living expenses.
After she graduated from college and got a job, she began to implement her plan. She earned 3,000 yuan a month, and she would give part of it back to the school, save another 2,000 yuan, keep 200 yuan for emergencies, and the remaining 100 or 200 yuan was for her own food money.
In this way, after about five or six years, with the help of her housing fund, she could buy a small one-bedroom apartment. Then, she would no longer be worried about having no place to go.
A person’s house may not be called a home, but it can be his or her most reassuring safe haven.
As the memory ended, Gu Munuan thought of the girl curled up in the train hall and shook her head gently. She opened her eyes again and looked at the studio apartment in front of her. It was also a one-bedroom apartment, but the price was probably dozens of times higher than she had imagined.
In addition, she no longer had to eat steamed buns and stir-fried cabbage in the hospital cafeteria all day. A driver would deliver meals every day, or a private chef would prepare takeout. These were gifts from her family, and she finally had her own home.
In the old house of the Gu family, Gu Muran's room was moved from the first floor to the third floor, swapping locations with Gu Jingnian's toy room. It was also decorated by Gu Moci himself, with the design given by Gu Muwan. It has a dressing room, a bathroom, and a hidden small study, just like the rooms of other brothers and sisters.
On the day it was installed, Gu Muwan excitedly pulled her to see it, and then stayed in her room to sleep for a week.
…
Standing up and walking to the kitchen, Gu Muran looked at the full refrigerator, took out a can of milk to heat it up, fried herself a hot dog and an egg, took out a box of vegetable salad, and followed the nutritionist's instructions to slowly eat breakfast.
