In fact, Ji Linhai mentioned to her that if she couldn't bear to leave the children, she could let them move in with her. It just so happened that everyone was more lively, just like before.

Zhong Zijun considered it again and finally refused. She couldn't ask the children to cater to her needs for selfish reasons.

After all, she has formed a new family now, the situation is different, and it is not good to take care of children.

Besides, the children are grown up and have their own lives. They may not want to be mixed up with her for the rest of their lives. It would make everyone uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the distance is not too far, and she can come back to visit her children anytime when she misses them.

The old house of Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying was also renovated, and the two old people officially moved in.

Zhong Zijun wanted to find a nanny to take care of them, worried that there would be problems for the two elders to live alone, but the two insisted on living on their own and did not need any care.

Finally, I obeyed their wishes.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to give money to the two elders, but they refused. They now have the compensation money in their pockets, so it won't be wasted and can be used for a long time.

They are not extravagant, so they don't need too much money.

Gu Qinghuan did her best to help decorate the house so that the two elders could live more comfortably.

After 그 moved out, Ming Ruxue, Gu Qinghuan, Gu Lanting, Dabao, Beibei, and Wang Xiaowei and her son were left in the small building.

Yun Jiuzhou comes over a few days a week.

There are fewer people, and it's much quieter.

But everyone has their own things to do, so it doesn't feel boring.

In September, the Ministry of Education held a national college admissions work conference in Beijing and decided to resume the national college entrance examination, which had been suspended for more than a decade, to select talents for university through a unified examination and admission based on merit.

Gu Qinghuan was the first to hear the news from all sides, and everyone hoped that she could continue her studies and achieve something.

Of course, she already knew it, but she could only pretend that she just knew it.

At the same time, Xiao Zhuo also brought her good news: Huaqing University had contacted him, hoping that after the resumption of the college entrance examination, he would be a lecturer in the Department of Psychology and recruit students to study psychology systematically.

During the period of great political turmoil in China about ten years ago, Chinese psychology also suffered catastrophic damage.

Psychology was criticized as a pseudo-science, research institutions were closed, and talent training was forced to be interrupted. Now it has entered the recovery stage.

This means that if Gu Qinghuan can be admitted to Huaqing University, he can study psychology with Xiao Zhuo and take a step closer to his dream.

She began to review step by step and also began to study books on modern psychology.

Dabao and Beibei had already found a primary school nearby in September and went to school on time. Wang Xiaowei would sometimes bring Xiao Yanqing to pick them up.

Gu Lanting continued to work as his library manager, reading and reviewing. He had read the review materials that Gu Qinghuan gave him many times.

Ming Ruxue was nowhere to be seen all day long. She was either doing experiments here or running around there. She was busier than any of them.

Gu Qinghuan didn't ask her what she was doing specifically. He just said that her journey was arranged by her parents and they wouldn't harm her.

End of September

The peaceful life was broken by a school bullying.

At dinner time in the evening, Dabao curled up in the room and said that he was not hungry and was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

Beibei's eyes were swollen, and she looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Gu Qinghuan obviously noticed something was wrong and when he asked Wang Xiaowei, she also shook her head.

Tonight her husband came over and she was busy cooking, so she didn't have time to pick up the two children. As soon as they came back, they rushed into the house. She thought they were doing their homework and didn't think much about it.

Yun Jiuzhou put down his chopsticks: "Beibei, what's wrong? Tell Daddy!"

Beibei's personality has changed a lot in the past two years. He is no longer the little crybaby he used to be.

But after hearing what her father said, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad, my brother...my brother won't let me say it!"

She cried and was very sad.

Gu Qinghuan quickly stood up to help her wipe her tears and comforted her in a low voice.

She and Yun Jiuzhou looked at each other, then looked at Dabao's room.

Yun Jiuzhou understood what she meant immediately.

One of them comforted the daughter, and the other went to talk to the son.

Yun Jiuzhou walked into Dabao's room. It was a hot day, so he wrapped himself in a quilt. When he heard someone coming in, he wrapped the quilt even tighter.

The holes in the sneakers on the ground and the dust on the schoolbag gave Yun Jiuzhou a bad feeling.

"Dabao, you will get heatstroke if you do this." Yun Jiuzhou tried to pull off the quilt.

Dabao hugged him tighter: "Dad, I'm fine, just a little cold."

"Can you tell Dad what happened?"

"Dad, nothing happened. I'm just not very hungry and want to take a nap first." Dabao insisted.

Yun Jiuzhou pretended to walk out of the room, and when he was relaxed and not on guard, he suddenly pulled open the quilt.

A pig-like face appeared in front of him. It was red and swollen, with swollen eyes. Because of the sweat, the whole body looked like it had been pulled out of the water. The hair stuck tightly to the scalp, looking extremely ferocious.

Yun Jiuzhou felt a pain in his heart subconsciously. How could this child be beaten like this?

He was as strong as a little cannon at that time, but people ignored the fact that he was still a child.

Dabao felt embarrassed and at a loss when he found out that his disguise had been exposed by his father.

"Dad...Dad, I...I'm sorry." Dad must be very disappointed.

Yun Jiuzhou went to the cupboard to get the medicine box without saying a word.

Gu Qinghuan felt heartbroken when he saw Dabao's miserable state.

"What's going on?"

She gently wiped away the sweat, applied ice to the redness, swelling and bruises.

Dabao grimaced in pain.

After treating their wounds, the two children sat on the sofa and told each other everything that had happened.

Dabao's learning progress is very fast. In order to adapt to his own learning needs, he was sent directly to the fourth grade this year. The children in his class are generally two years older than him.

They came from the Northeast. The two children grew up in the Northeast and spoke with a Northeastern accent. Dabao was laughed at by everyone in the class because of his accent.

But he did not get discouraged. Instead, he worked hard to practice Mandarin, performed well in class, was motivated and was praised by the teacher many times.

Maybe kids of this age have some problems in their brains. They like to target kids like Dabao, saying he is a flatterer and a learner.

After school, an older kid in the class stopped Dabao and tried to teach him a lesson, but ended up getting beaten up by Dabao instead.

So today, that kid called a few senior kids to come together for revenge, and blocked Dabao after school.

Dabao could have run away if he couldn't win, but in order to protect his sister, he bravely fought with these older kids. Beibei ran out to yell, but the teacher chose to turn a blind eye when he saw who was fighting.

In the end, Dabao was beaten like this.

He didn't want to worry his parents after he came back, so he hid it.
