Chapter 236 Sister Ring
Chapter 236 Sister Ring
Gu Xiaoyun took out a thin, shiny silver ring from his trouser pocket, which was obviously new.
"Sister-in-law, this is for you."
"This is made of silver, right? Where did you get the money to buy this?"
"I didn't buy it." Gu Xiaoyun took out an identical ring from his other trouser pocket and said, "This is mine."
This time, Guan Youshuang was even more surprised.
She was worried that this was given to Gu Xiaoyun by a male classmate. Children of this age are still immature and can easily fall into the so-called "love".
"If they weren't bought, where did these two rings come from?"
"I went to an old silversmith to have it made. I changed my previous wide ring into two thin ones. If you look closely, there are our names on them."
Guan Youshuang looked carefully and found that there were indeed two small letters on the inside of the ring: YS.
"This pair of rings is called sister rings."
"Your wide ring from before? Why haven't I seen you wear it before?"
"Yes, my mother gave it to me. It was left to her by my grandmother. But at our age, who would wear it? I have kept it in the box."
"But why would you change such a commemorative ring? Wouldn't it be a pity to change it?"
"I want to give you one." Gu Xiaoyun helped Guan Youshuang put on the ring and said, "You have helped me so much, and I have always been grateful. It's just that my ability is limited now, so I can't repay you."
Guan Youshuang was touched by this kind girl. She took Gu Xiaoyun's hand and said, "Silly girl, I am your sister-in-law. We are a family. There is no need to help or not. It's so polite. I just hope that you can continue to work hard in high school and get into a good university in the future. Then I will follow you to the big city to broaden your horizons."
Gu Xiaoyun nodded.
Wang Huiying had been listening outside. The ring with the peony pattern was indeed given to her by her mother, and she left it to her only daughter. However, Gu Xiaoyun thought the ring was too old-fashioned and had never worn it.
Now, although the ring has been changed, she is not angry. On the contrary, she feels very relieved to see that her daughter and sister-in-law have such a good relationship.
And, to be honest, she really treated Youshuang as her own daughter.
This girl has a hard life. She has to live with such a family. She must have suffered a lot in her childhood.

After dinner, Guan Youshuang felt a little sleepy, so she went back to her room to rest.
Wang Huiying couldn't sit still, so after calling Gu Errong, she started taking off the sheets and quilt covers, thinking of washing them all while the weather was good.
Just as she was sitting on a small stool preparing to wash the sheets, Yuanyuan ran in, sweating profusely.
He ran into the kitchen, picked up the bowl, scooped a bowl of cold water and started drinking it.
"Hey, why are you drinking cold water again? There is cold boiled water on the table in the main room."
Yuanyuan wiped the water that had flowed down her neck, walked out, and said, "Grandma, I have good news to tell you."
"What good news?"
Yuanyuan blinked, walked over and squatted beside Wang Huiying, stretched out her hand, and whispered, "Give me one yuan first, and I'll tell you."
"Didn't I just give it to you a few days ago? You spent it recklessly again."
Yuanyuan shook Wang Huiying's leg and said, "Oh grandma, that happened several days ago. Besides, I didn't ask for it for nothing this time. I told you that I was exchanging it for good news. Don't worry, grandma. This good news will definitely make you very happy."
Wang Huiying smiled and glared at her precious grandson, then looked around and found that no one else had come out. She wiped her hands on her lapel, leaned sideways, fumbled in her trouser pocket for a while, and took out some money.
The largest one is a ten-yuan note, and the others are two yuan, one yuan, fifty cents, twenty cents, and ten cents.
She pulled out a one-yuan note from the middle, handed it over, and whispered, "Put it away quickly, don't let your aunt and your uncle see it."
Guan Youshuang had told Wang Huiying before that she should not give Yuanyuan money for no reason, but should give it to him in the form of reward or exchange.
But Wang Huiying couldn't help it.
She only had this one precious grandson, and she compromised when he acted pitifully and coquettishly.
Yuanyuan also knows her grandmother's weakness.
At this time, he understood and stuffed the money into his shoes, held Wang Huiying's head, and kissed her on the face.
"Grandma is still the best to me."
Wang Huiying's face instantly turned into a flower with a smile. She picked up Yuanyuan, let him sit on her lap, and then kissed his little face several times.
"If you have any good news, tell grandma quickly."
"That's right. I heard that my aunt got first place in the high school entrance exam."
"Well, I know about this. Yuanyuan should also learn from her aunt and strive to get first place in the junior high school entrance exam, okay?"
Yuanyuan frowned and said, "Grandma, you forgot, I also got first place in the exam this time."
"Well, grandma knows, grandma means to keep it."
"Don't worry, grandma. I will always get first place in the exams from now on. By the way, grandma, where is my aunt?"
Wang Huiying pointed to the side room with her chin and whispered, "She's resting. Don't disturb her aunt."
"Okay, then when Auntie wakes up, can you help me ask if my notes have been printed?"
"Okay, grandma will ask for you." Wang Huiying kissed Yuanyuan on the cheek again.
"Okay, grandma, I'm leaving now." Yuanyuan jumped off Wang Huiying's lap, "Shengfan is still waiting for me at the entrance of the village."
"Where are you going in such a hot day? Why don't you take a rest? Look how red your face is."
"It's okay grandma, I'm not hot, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Yuanyuan ran out.
"Then be careful."
Yuanyuan had disappeared long ago.
"This child." Wang Huiying sighed lightly and continued to wash the sheets and quilt covers.
Just now, she called her youngest son Gu Errong and told him about Xiaoyun's high school entrance examination results. She also asked him when he would be free in the next two days and whether it would be best if he could come back so that the family could have a meal.
Huang Chunyan will stay in Youshuang's embroidery factory this time, but Gu Ruyi will most likely go to work in a factory along the coast.
She didn't want her son to be alone there, so she hoped to take this opportunity of dinner to see if Errong could find a job for her brother in the county.
Alas, as the children grow up, we have less and less time to spend together as a family.
Xiaoyun is about to leave home to go to the county town to study.
Wang Huiying wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and threw another quilt cover into the washing basin.

It is said that pregnant women tend to feel sleepy easily, and it is true.
In the past, Guan Youshuang had no habit of taking a nap, but since she became pregnant, she felt like she had endless sleep.
Whenever she has free time after lunch, she goes to sleep and can sleep for more than two hours, sometimes even for the whole afternoon.
At this time, she had slept for three hours.
In a daze, she felt someone touching her face.
She was startled and quickly turned the page.
