Chapter 7: After Seeing My Mother Again, I’m Going to Join the Military (2)  

Gu Qingjiu did not like this woman because she often gossiped about the Gu family behind their backs.

When the Yu family came looking for her that year, it was this same woman who told stories of an exaggeration to the Yu family.

So when Gu Qingjiu heard her speak, she ignored her and ran upstairs.

“What’s with her, having her nose up in her air!”

Chen Yanhong muttered behind Gu Qingjiu’s back and spat out the sunflower seed in her mouth towards her direction.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

Gu Qingjiu stepped on the stairs that were aging in years. The door of her home was closed at the moment, and before she stepped forward to knock the door, she held down the fluttering of her heart.

Before long, she heard footsteps coming from the house with poor sound insulation, accompanied by a familiar gentle female voice. “Who is it?”

In an instant, Gu Qingjiu’s eyes prickled with tears but she tried to force the tears back

Being reborn again, there were many things she would no longer bear with unlike before!

With a creak, the door opened, revealing the face of a gentle and intellectual looking woman.

“Qingjiu? Why are you back? Don’t you have class?”

Qi Yuefeng was somewhat surprised seeing Gu Qingjiu standing outside the door. But when she saw that Gu Qingjiu was not in a good mood, she worriedly pulled her in.

“What’s the matter? Did something happen in school? Tell Mom, did something make you unhappy?”

Qi Yuefeng knew her daughter’s temperament. A better way to put it was that she was a little dull, and muddle-headed if she were, to be frank. It was hard to attract her attention to sounds normally and she never told them the things she buried in her heart. But in other aspects, she had no problems.

Many people said that this was caused by Gu Qingjiu’s inferiority complex.

But the Gu family had taught this daughter well since she was a child. Qingjiu was obedient in front of them so how could she feel inferior?

Something must have happened for Gu Qingjiu to come home suddenly from school. Qi Yuefeng was anxious and even wanted to call Mr. Gu back.

“Mom, I’m fine.”

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingjiu held Qi Yuefeng’s wrist, which she rarely did, and it worked on calming Qi Yuefeng’s anxious mood into a low voice. She looked at Qi Yuefeng with a pair of clear eyes, a face plastered with a smile, and although she was slightly pale it still showed unspeakable happiness. “I’m fine, I... want to discuss with you about the school distribution!”

Gu Qingjiu’s mood fluctuation was all because of seeing Qi Yuefeng again.

It was hard to control this excitement.

Gu Qingjiu looked at her mother—whom she had missed so much—standing in front of her. Her mother did not ask why she had escaped from school but worried about her condition first. This was her parents—her best parents!

But, she could not let Qi Yuefeng think too much.

Things had not yet started for now, so that would mean she still had the opportunity to turn things around. She must grasp it firmly.

“Distribution?”

When Qi Yuefeng heard this, her heart slightly relaxed. She initially thought her daughter had met with other problems and was wronged!

“Didn’t you decide about the distribution long ago? You said that you didn’t want to study and want to learn computer science so Mom and Dad have already discussed it. We won’t force you if you don’t want to study.”

Even as parents, who only wanted their daughter to have a good path, they still understood that they should not force Gu Qingjiu with anything.

Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “No. Mom, I want to join the military!”
