Chapter 266 Decision
Xu Sui was somewhat surprised. Over the past few years, she hadn't been close to Lu Xiaoya; they had only met a few times at most.
During holidays and festivals, she would take her children to visit the Gu family or pay respects to the elderly.
For Gu Jia, it's really no different from having another relative now.
Strangely enough, ever since Xie Yinfang learned that she was a student at Peking University, her attitude towards her has improved considerably. Now, when she sees her, she will take the initiative to care for her and will occasionally buy clothes and toys for the two children.
They're getting along alright now, at least on the surface.
It seems that Lu Xiaoya and Gu Shu registered their marriage a few months ago, but they did not hold a wedding ceremony.
She didn't go to the wedding banquet because the Gu family didn't invite her.
Lu Xiaoya grabbed Xu Sui's hand and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, do you have any money left? Can you lend me ten yuan? I'll pay you back in a couple of days."
Thinking of how Xie Yinfang often bought things for the two children, and looking at the two anxious people in front of her, Xu Sui knew from some plots in that book that Lu's eldest sister-in-law really needed this money to save her life.
After thinking for a moment, she took out 10 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Lu Xiaoya, placing it in her hand.
"Don't rush, take the money and pay the medical bills first."
Lu Xiaoya immediately burst into tears of gratitude. Her eyes were red, and she tightly clutched the money in her hand. She sniffed and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Thank you, sister-in-law. I will pay you back."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back." As if afraid that Xu Sui wouldn't believe her, she repeated herself.
Sister-in-law Lu was also standing nearby, extremely grateful, repeatedly bowing her head and saying thank you.
Xu Sui didn't take it to heart. Although ten yuan was a lot, it wasn't much for her.
Because she was busy with the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow, she completely forgot about it.
Tomorrow will arrive in the blink of an eye.
Xu Sui carried the gifts she had bought for the apprenticeship ceremony, and then took the two children to Chief Engineer Zhou's house.
The dinner table.
The two children quickly won the favor of Chief Engineer Zhou's wife, Ma Fang.
The couple was getting old, and their children weren't around. They lived alone in the house, which was quiet and lonely. Suddenly, with two children, the whole house seemed to become lively again.
When Chief Engineer Zhou and Ma Fang saw that Xu Sui had brought so many gifts for the apprenticeship ceremony, each one carefully selected, they knew she had put her heart into it, and their faces couldn't help but smile.
"You only need to come in person, why did you bring so much stuff? Don't do this next time."
Xu Sui smiled generously, "Master, mistress, this is my first time visiting, so it's only right that I bring these things; I can't come empty-handed."
"Come on, Yan Yan, Yao Yao, call Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou."
The two little girls weren't shy at all. They blinked their beautiful, clear eyes at the two elderly people in front of them and greeted them obediently.
"Hello Grandpa Zhou, hello Grandma Zhou."
"Okay, okay, you're all well."
Seeing the two children's well-behaved and adorable appearance, Chief Engineer Zhou and his wife couldn't stop smiling. They not only prepared red envelopes for Xu Sui, but also for the two children.
I enjoyed the meal quite a bit.
Over the course of the meal, Xu Sui and Chief Engineer Zhou's mentor-apprentice relationship grew much closer.
She could clearly feel that Chief Engineer Zhou was more serious when teaching her, unlike some mentors who were afraid that if they taught their apprentices, they would starve themselves, so they deliberately hid their skills.
When Xu Sui returned home from get off work that day, she heard her daughter Yao Yao's happy laughter as soon as she entered the courtyard.
"Hahaha, Uncle, higher, higher, please."
Xu Sui looked up and saw a tall, upright man in military uniform standing with his back to her in the courtyard, holding Yao Yao high in the air, making Yao Yao laugh out loud.
Her eyes lit up, thinking it was Qin Yunzhou, and she couldn't help but walk over quickly.
When are you coming back...?
Didn't you say you might not be able to come back until Chinese New Year? Why did you suddenly come back earlier?
Before he could finish speaking, the man turned around, revealing his handsome, angular face.
Xu Sui paused, stopping abruptly. The person in front of her was not Qin Yunzhou.
The person in front of me suddenly went from expectation to disappointment.
Gu Shu couldn't help but laugh, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I've come to see my grandmother."
"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Are you unhappy to see me?"
Xu Sui was surprised to see Gu Shu at her house. She pursed her lips and her expression returned to normal.
"Yaoyao, come down quickly."
In the year or so after Qin Yunzhou left, Gu Shu came to see her privately many times, but she deliberately avoided him each time.
But success isn't always guaranteed.
months ago.
Gu Shu found her and asked her one last time if she wanted to be with him.
If she's willing, he'll treat her child as his own.
Xu Sui naturally refused, after all, she already had Qin Yunzhou and a child.
After that incident, Gu Shu went back and got married to Lu Xiaoya, and she never saw him again.
Seeing that her mother didn't seem very happy, Yao Yao immediately struggled to get off Gu Shu, saying, "Uncle, uncle, put me down."
Although her uncle is very nice, she still prefers her mother.
Gu Shu didn't make things difficult for the child. He stepped forward, put Yao Yao in Xu Sui's arms, and suddenly took out two ten-yuan bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Yao Yao's arms.
"I paid off the money Lu Xiaoya borrowed from you."
"I'll use the rest of the money to buy candy for the two kids as their uncle."
After saying those two sentences, Gu Shu turned and left without looking back.
Holding the child, Xu Sui instinctively wanted to chase after them and return the extra money.
But before they could catch up, the person had already disappeared.
In the end, the matter had to be dropped.
……
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
Qin Yunzhou still couldn't come back for the Chinese New Year that year, meaning they hadn't seen each other for three years.
Xu Sui's internship ended long ago, and she has been a full-time employee for several months now. She has also successfully graduated from Peking University.
She planned to take her two children to the military base to find Qin Yunzhou.
Chief Engineer Zhou even specifically asked her about this matter.
When she learned that Xu Sui wanted to dedicate herself to grassroots work and make a name for herself with her knowledge, instead of simply for the sake of men and children.
Chief Engineer Zhou did not stop her. He looked at his proud disciple, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed and nodded.
"Good, since you have this ambition, your master will naturally not stop you."
"However, whenever you want to come back, just tell your master. As long as your master is in the factory, there will be a place for you here."
Working at the grassroots level is no easy task.
Especially in small counties in remote mountainous areas, the machinery factories there have inadequate facilities and lack technology. These are all repetitive production jobs that require virtually no technical expertise.
However, it's not entirely without its advantages. In that place, if you work hard and have strong technical skills and abilities, you can still achieve great things.
This will add another entry to your future work resume.
The prerequisite is that you have to do a good job and achieve outstanding results.
At the Beijing No. 1 Machinery Factory, Sui Sui was still too young. This place was not lacking in talent, nor was it lacking in talent with connections and ability.
It would be good to let her gain experience at the grassroots level for a few years.
Xu Sui knew, of course, that her master was doing it for her own good, and she couldn't help but feel touched.
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely do my job well."
"I won't embarrass you."
After officially resigning from the factory, Xu Sui returned home.
