94. Traveling thousands of miles to pay New Year greetings
After returning home, Huo Yan couldn't hide her excitement and talked endlessly to Gu Youwei.
"Look at the son I gave birth to, how good he is."
"This kid has been smart since he was a child, but he didn't like to study before. Otherwise, he would be able to sprint to Qingbei without any problem."
As a mature man, Gu Youwei was happy. He did not boast like his wife, but just nodded and cooperated.
"Isn't that also the child of me? Your son is so good, can you reward me with a new car? I really drive enough Passat."
Huo Yan turned her head and patted Gu Youwei: "What a beautiful idea! I think the house prices in Jiangcheng are not too high. How about we give our son a down payment and buy a house as an investment."
"Isn't my son having an ambiguous relationship with that girl from the Zhong family? Why did you buy him a house in Jiangcheng?"
Gu Youwei has always been very satisfied with Zhong Leyi. He feels that the two families know each other well. They are still studying in the same school. After graduation, they will return to Liaocheng to get married. Their parents can still support them. Their young lives are prosperous and couldn't be more beautiful.
"What do you know? How can college students fall in love? What if the children have to stay in Jiangcheng in the future? When the housing prices rise, you won't have time to regret it."
Huo Yan sneered. In her eyes, it was still too early for a college student to fall in love before making a lifelong commitment. Even if the two of them wanted to go home and develop a career, they could still make money by selling the house.
It has to be said that Huo Yan's investment vision is pretty good. Gu Yun's purchase of a house in Jiangcheng in his last life was mostly due to his mother's calm and rational financial management skills.
But during the winter vacation in the previous life, Gu Yun played so hard that he failed several subjects. The red lighted transcript was mailed to his home. Huo Yan got angry and bought Gu Youwei a new car. In the future, he could only watch Jiangcheng's housing prices rise day by day.
Finally take over the high position.
Butterflies flutter their wings and create huge waves.
Buying a house for his son is more important, and Gu Youwei has no objection. The needs of a middle-aged man always come last in the family, and buying a car is put aside first.
"Okay, when the child starts school, let's take a few days off to go with him and take a look at the house."
As soon as the two of them came together, they decided verbally without notifying Gu Yun at all.
Gu Yun was video chatting with Hua Shiyuan in the house and didn't hear his parents' chat about him in the living room at all.
"Yuanyuan, everyone gets fat during the Chinese New Year, have you lost weight?"
Hua Shiyuan rolled her eyes at Gu Yun: "A little bit, I'm so tired during the New Year, and I don't feel happy at all."
The girl on the screen tugged at the corner of her pajamas, raised her head and said affectionately, "Maybe because I miss you a little."
Hua Shiyuan, who had always been calm and restrained, suddenly started talking about love. Even the veteran driver Gu Yun was a little unable to resist.
"I...I miss you too."
"I didn't see it. You didn't come to pay New Year's greetings even though it's New Year's Eve. This boyfriend is really incompetent."
Hua Shiyuan raised the corners of her mouth and teased Gu Yun. She knew very well that the two families were thousands of miles apart and it was a traditional festival, so how could they really come to pay New Year's greetings.
"It's time to eat~"
Huo Yan knocked on Gu Yun's bedroom door, and there was a sound announcing dinner.
Gu Yun and Hua Shiyuan said goodbye, turned off the video and sat down in the living room.
"mom......"
"Ayun, your father and I will go with you when school starts and plan to buy you a house in Jiangcheng."
Huo Yan struck back and interrupted Gu Yun's words.
"What? Buy me a house? No need..."
Gu Yun thought he heard wrongly and didn't react for a long time. What's going on? I have a floor in Optics Valley Software Park, and I want you to buy me a house?
Someone came back after being reborn to improve their family’s life. Why should I be reborn and buy a house with my old age? Do I want to lose face?
"Mom, I really don't need it. Let's keep this money for Lao Gu to buy a new car. I plan to start a business in school next semester and I can make money by myself."
Huo Yan frowned and didn't agree: "What do children know about entrepreneurship? Do you think buying a house is for you? It's an investment! Even if you don't live and graduate, you won't lose money if you sell it. Buying a new car for your dad is ridiculous.
use?"
Looking at Gu Youwei's deflated expression, Gu Yun secretly gave Huo Yan a thumbs up. This judgment was accurate enough.
"Mom, I plan to go back to school tomorrow. You can stay a few more days."
Huo Yan was startled for a moment: "Don't schools only start around March 1st?"
Gu Yun saw that it was difficult to fool him, so he could only tell the truth: "The official start of school is March 1, but I am going to a Xingcheng senior's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I will go back to school early by the way."
Gu Youwei was drinking tea and almost choked after hearing Gu Yun's reasons for returning to school.
"No, Lao Gu, look at the shit you gave birth to. You haven't learned anything else. You're a scumbag and you're doing the same thing. You're starting to operate on two fronts, right?"
Huo Yan picked up her slippers and slapped Gu Yun hard on the butt. When she passed by Gu Youwei, she also slapped him in the face.
"???"
Gu Youwei is very aggrieved. Why is it that when Gu Yun was outstanding, he was your great eldest son, but he has become the child of me?
"It's useless to hit me, the plane ticket is no longer refundable..."
Gu Yun was pushed down on the sofa and beaten violently, muttering to himself that the only person in the family who could cure him was his mother.
...
The next day, Gu Yun got up early to take a taxi to the airport and found a plate of dumplings with three fresh fillings on the table.
"Get in the car and get the dumplings off, then leave after you finish eating."
Before leaving, Huo Yan still stuffed a red envelope into Gu Yun's hand and warned: "Don't go empty-handed when you go to someone's house to pay New Year greetings. You must express your feelings and don't lose etiquette."
Gu Yun twisted the red envelope with one hand, feeling the thickness of the red envelope, and silently recited that mother's love is tolerance.
After the direct flight to Star City landed, Gu Yun found a hotel to wash away the fatigue from the road and went directly to the downstairs of Hua Shiyuan's house.
"Do you miss me?"
"What's the use of missing you."
"If you don't miss me, I will fly home."
Hua Shiyuan opened the curtains with a confused look on her face, and Gu Yun stood downstairs, holding the phone in one hand and waving the other hand in the air with a bright smile.
"I'm here to wish you a happy new year!"
Hua Shiyuan was hugged and rushed downstairs. Gu Yun buried himself in her fragrant hair, not forgetting the purpose of his trip.
Hua Shiyuan is indeed thinner than she was a few years ago, and the gentle arcs on her face have become clearer, making her features more picturesque.
After agreeing to formally visit her home tomorrow, Gu Yun took Hua Shiyuan's hand and walked out of the community.
After getting into a taxi, Gu Yun motioned to the driver to drive towards Binhu Road and kept speeding along.
"Binhu Road? Why are you taking me there?"
Gu Yun smiled and said nothing. After arriving at the destination, he placed the fireworks that had been prepared on the ground.
"This is a no-fireworks area. You are a local, do you understand?"
Gu Yun hugged Hua Shiyuan's waist, lowered his head and took a deep drag on the cigarette, then put the cigarette butt against the fuse.
With a loud "bang", the fireworks soared into the sky, tearing colorful traces in the sky. Gu Yun turned his head and looked at the girl beside him. Hua Shiyuan's face became red with anticipation, and his eyes reflected the sky.
Brilliant colors, sparkling.
"Happy New Year, I hope I will be by your side every year in the future."
