Ch 25: A Country Bumpkin With This Kind Of Awareness?
Gu Yuanzhou ignored her, leaned down, held Nannan in his arms, whispered a few words of comfort, and then took Shen Mingyue into the office building.
When Shen Mingyue went in, she couldn’t help but glance at Song Xue.
Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, she felt a little sympathy for her.
Liking a man who doesn’t belong to you must be very painful, right? This girl looks quite excellent, it’s a pity.
If Gu Yuanzhou also had feelings for her, she would consider whether to withdraw, after all, she couldn’t destroy other people’s marriage because of her own selfish desires.
But Gu Yuanzhou clearly didn’t feel that way about Song Xue, so it can only be said that this girl is stubborn.
Along the way, Gu Yuanzhou met many acquaintances, greeted them all with a smile, and everyone looked at Shen Mingyue with some scrutiny and curiosity.
In the office, Gu Yuanzhou comforted her again about what had just happened, then made an internal telephone call to a young comrade.
“I’ll have Xiao Li take you to handle the driver’s license matter, as for other things, we’ll talk about it when I get home tonight.”
Shen Mingyue didn’t stay long, and left with Nannan.
In the afternoon when they started work, several colleagues who were familiar with him couldn’t help but ask a few questions. Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say much, and seeing this, everyone didn’t ask any more questions.
However, Song Xue came to their department to do some business in the afternoon, and when she saw Gu Yuanzhou, she hesitated to speak.
Actually, everyone knew that Song Xue had a fondness for Gu Yuanzhou, and seeing this scene, they secretly sympathized.
Shen Mingyue followed Xiao Li to complete the driver’s license application process, planning to come again tomorrow, after all, Nannan was with her today, and it wasn’t convenient to practice driving.
After Xiao Li finished the work, he said goodbye and left, and Shen Mingyue quickly thanked him.
After finishing the business here, Shen Mingyue took Nannan back to the shop, watched the renovation workers busy for the afternoon, and went home almost in the evening.
Gu Yuanzhou almost always worked overtime every day, after all, working hours were not unified, sometimes he had to receive foreign guests in the evening, and it was very late when he came back after dinner.
After Shen Mingyue went back, Tian Shufang directly took Nannan away. It was clear that she liked this granddaughter very much.
Gu Sisi gave Shen Mingyue a cold look, full of disgust.
After a while, dinner was ready at home. Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t come back yet when they ate. Shen Mingyue didn’t say anything, but Zhou Xiaofei asked several times.
“Let’s eat first, Yuanyang is probably busy, don’t worry about her.”
During the meal, Gu Jianjun couldn’t help but ask about Shen Mingyue opening a shop.
“The shop has been chosen, and the renovation is already underway today.”
As soon as Shen Mingyue finished speaking, everyone was stunned, obviously not expecting her to be so efficient.
Gu Sisi rolled her eyes, thinking, with Shen Mingyue’s clothes, would anyone buy clothes? So tacky, does she really think that people in the city have such low taste?
“That’s good, if you need any help, just speak up.”
Although Gu Jianjun also thought that being an individual business owner was shameful, Shen Mingyue was his daughter-in-law after all, so he had to maintain appearances.
Just as they were finishing their meal, Gu Yuanzhou came back.
Zhou Xiaofei’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up to greet him.
“Second Brother, would you like some soup?”
Gu Yuanzhou had eaten, but seeing everyone sitting together, he still nodded.
Zhou Xiaofei smiled, and happily went to serve the soup.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou sitting next to her, Shen Mingyue suddenly thought of something.
“By the way, Yuanyang, could you help me borrow a set of high school textbooks?”
Zhou Xiaofei, who had just returned, was a little curious.
“Second Sister-in-law, what do you want high school textbooks for?”
Shen Mingyue took a sip of soup and slowly said, “Now that the college entrance examination has been reinstated, I thought I’d read and study in my free time and try taking the exam next year.”
This year’s college entrance examination was already over, Shen Mingyue would not have time to participate, next year would be just right, reading would also be a cover.
Otherwise, a country bumpkin who hadn’t even finished middle school would pass the college entrance examination on their first attempt, others would definitely think more.
Hearing Shen Mingyue say this, Gu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Second Sister-in-law, don’t you think that university students are as common as Chinese cabbage these days, and you can get in just by wanting to?”
She had received the best education since she was a child, and now she was only in the middle of the class. Shen Mingyue hadn’t even finished middle school, and she wants to self-study all the high school courses and go straight to university. Isn’t this a pipe dream?
Zhou Xiaofei also twitched the corner of her mouth. This woman was too daydreaming.
Although everyone knew that she really wanted to climb up, ambition is a good thing, but she also needs to look at her own conditions, does she really think she’s a genius?
Gu Yuanzhou frowned at his sister and ignored her, but spoke to his younger brother.
“Yuanyang, do you still have your high school textbooks?”
Gu Yuanyang also thought that Shen Mingyue was daydreaming. When he wanted to get into university, he had put in a lot of effort, doing problems until late at night every day.
Her thinking that she could get into university by herself was a bit overestimating herself.
“I do, I’ll organize them and give them to Second Sister-in-law later.”
Shen Mingyue looked at Gu Yuanyang and softly said thank you.
Gu Jianjun chuckled and tried to smooth things over.
“Mingyue, it’s good that you have ambition, the family supports you, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pass the exam, read more books, it’s always beneficial, or should I find you a school? You can study there as well?”
Gu Jianjun couldn’t help but suggest, but was directly rejected by Shen Mingyue.
She was pregnant and still wanted to do business, and there wouldn’t be enough time to go to school, besides, reading was just a cover, with her knowledge reserves, taking the 1980s college entrance examination would be a piece of cake.
“No need, I can self-study, besides, we have so many high-achieving students in our family, if I don’t understand anything, I’ll ask everyone.”
Gu Yuanzhou has a high degree and speaks multiple languages, Gu Yuanyang is also a university student, and even the adopted daughter Zhou Xiaofei is a middle school teacher.
“That’s true, if you don’t understand anything you can ask them.”
Tian Shufang was quite satisfied with this. She didn’t want her daughter-in-law to be illiterate. Regardless of whether she could learn well or not, at least she had the awareness.
After dinner, Gu Yuanyang went straight back to his bedroom, and in a short while he had organized Shen Mingyue’s high school textbooks.
Gu Yuanzhou directly moved the books back to the bedroom.
After dinner, Shen Mingyue didn’t slack off, she helped wash the dishes, and then went back to her room to flip through the books on the table. The content taught in the textbooks at that time was still relatively simple, not as difficult as in later generations. Even if she didn’t look at them, taking the college entrance examination would be no problem.
Gu Yuanzhou stood up from his chair at some point and stood behind Shen Mingyue.
He leaned over slightly, staring at the mathematics textbook in Shen Mingyue’s hand.
“How is it? Can you understand it?”
Shen Mingyue didn’t turn her head, she only felt a gentle breath on her ear, itchy and tingling.
She instinctively moved to the side.
“It’s alright, I’ll ask you if I don’t understand anything later.”
