see you in spring

Chapter 179 Our Secret [-]

After the mother and daughter had lunch, the child went to take a nap. Jia Lie stood by the window and looked at the magnolias that had just sprouted buds in the community.At this time in previous years, the first petals of the creamy yellow flowers blooming on the magnolia trees had been blown off by the strong spring wind.But this year's spring came too late, and the flowers didn't even bloom.

She thought of Gu Yu who was still in the hospital, maybe the flowers didn't bloom because they were waiting for Gu Yu.When she recovers, the flowers will bloom.

Jia Lie took out his phone and wanted to video chat with Gu Yu, but he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to have a check-up right now.After hesitating for a few seconds, she sent a message to Gu Yu and asked her what she was doing.

Gu Yu hardly slept last night, and only closed his eyes at [-]:[-] in the morning. He was called up to take medicine after not sleeping for a long time, and the drip started again after taking the medicine.She was a light sleeper, and switching to intravenous drips made her sleep restless. She struggled all morning, and after lunch, she was about to take a nap when she saw Jia Lie's message.

When she was so upset last night, she especially wanted to talk to Jia Lie and Gu Yu, but she was afraid of disturbing their rest.Seeing Jia Lie's message at this time, her sleepiness disappeared, and she immediately replied: "I just finished eating, call Yanzi for a chat?"

Jia Lie had this in mind. The three of them hadn't chatted together since her back injury.She started the video and included Gu Yu and Sun Yan.

Sun Yan had just finished submitting her resume online at this time. Before, she only applied for jobs that were relevant and had career development.Now, whether it's full-time or part-time, whether it's customer service or low-level translation, as long as she can make money, she wants to try it.

Since she learned that Liu Quantao was unemployed, she submitted her resume more frequently.One is because now if she finds a job first, her chances of obtaining child custody will be greater.Second, she knew that if both of them lost their income, it would not only be them who would suffer, but their children would suffer as well.

Her eldest son Lele had always been interested in Go, so she enrolled him in a children's class near her home.Due to the epidemic, interest classes are not open yet, but the Go teacher said in the WeChat group that classes can be taught online.Although the class fee is slightly cheaper than on-site classes, it is still a considerable expense for their family now.

Sun Yan knows how precious her children's interests are, and she doesn't want her son to have his little dream cut off because of the family's financial problems.She gritted her teeth and took out two-thirds of the money she had on hand to pay for her son's teaching fees. With only the last bit of money left, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on for long, so she could only keep casting a wide net.

After receiving Jia Lie's video invitation, Sun Yan stood up and looked at the living room. Her two sons were playing with toys in the living room, while the old woman and brother-in-law were still hiding in the room to "preserve their lives."Liu Quantao was standing on the balcony, looking down at his mobile phone with his head down.

Sun Yan closed the door and connected the video connection.

"Why are you the last again? Jia Lie and I have been saying bad things about you for a while." Gu Yu didn't want them to always be sad because of her condition, so she kept the atmosphere.

"My fault. What bad things did you say about me?" Sun Yan saw that she was in a good mood, and she felt relieved, thinking that the fake Doudou must have worked.

"She is upset that she didn't help you." Jia Lie said with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you failed in the interview? I could go and talk to you again." Gu Yu complained.

"Not applying for the job means that I haven't met their requirements. If I ask you to intercede, it's not cheating on you."

"Gu Yu, don't worry about Yanzi. I've asked Dongqing to go to their branch to see if there are any suitable positions for Yanzi in the export department."

"That's right, I almost forgot, now Dongqing is the manager. Oops, why do I feel like my child is going to be successful?"

"Take advantage of me, right?" Jia Lie pretended to be angry.

Guyu and Sun Yan laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere finally became like best friends chatting.

"Yanzi, how are you and Liu Quantao now?" Jia Lie asked worriedly seeing that Sun Yan's dark circles were no smaller than Gu Yu's.

Sun Yan paused and gave an overview of the current situation at home.

Both Gu Yu and Jia Lie were surprised: "Liu Quantao is unemployed?"

"Yes, it seems he had a falling out with his boss and can't stay any longer."

"Then what do you do now?" Jia Lie asked.

"I can only find a job as soon as possible. Thinking on the bright side, at least he and I are on the same level now. If we have to fight for custody, it can be considered a tie."

"Yanzi, if you don't have enough money, just say something. Now that Dongqing has a job, I'm not so nervous about money anymore." After Jia Lie listened to her words, at this time, apart from practical help, comforting words had no effect.

"Yes, just speak if you need it. Don't hold back everything by yourself. You still have me and Jia Lie." Gu Yu also said.

Both of her best friends were having a hard time, but they were still willing to lend a hand to help her.Sun Yan's eyes started to heat up. She held back her emotions and pretended to be relaxed, "Help can only solve it for a while, and you still have to rely on yourself for some things after all. I send out my resume every day now, and I have been reading books during this time. I have also picked up a lot. As long as there is another interview opportunity, I should be able to seize it, so don’t worry. By the way, stop talking about me, Guyu, have you seen Doudou? "

"Don't mention it, Zhou You said it's a little moody right now. We can wait a few days to see it." After Gu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly sighed.

"Doudou is back, why do you look unhappy?" Jia Lie asked strangely.

Gu Yu said what Zhou You told her last night.

Sun Yan and Jia Lie were silent for a while, and then they asked at the same time: "What do you think?"

Guyu sighed again: "On the one hand, I'm afraid of being alone, but on the other hand, I don't want to get along with him. I really don't know what to do."

Sun Yan hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I think Zhou You is not necessarily trying to get along with you. He...maybe he really wants to be with you again."

Guyu smiled bitterly: "Impossible, I understand him."

"People will change. Although I don't know what Zhou You thinks, but I think that you and Zhou You have been together for so many years and know the basics. You can give him a chance first and see how he behaves to see what kind of character he is. It's not just a make-believe. If he is sincere, then you two can get back together. If you really can't be with him anymore, it won't be too late to break up." Jia Lie also helped Zhou You talk, although she and Zhou You's relationship with him was average, but she noticed how kind Zhou You was to Gu Yu before.She believed that it would be difficult for Gu Yu to experience such goodness from a second man in his life. Instead of living in comparison from now on, it would be better to give Zhou You another chance.

"What if he was pretending?" Gu Yu said.

"If he is willing to pretend all his life, then he is sincere." Sun Yan said.

"You all seem to be speaking for him today." Gu Yu looked at the two of them doubtfully.

"I'm not helping him, I just don't want you to make a hasty decision at this time." Jia Lie covered his waist that was still aching slightly: "When people are sick, it is easy to make irrational decisions."

Sun Yan said what was in her heart: "The love between you and Zhou You in college was the best love I have ever seen. I really don't want to see you separate like this. I know you have your own conflicts, but which family doesn't?" Contradiction? Even if you find another one, if there is no current contradiction, there will be different contradictions, because life itself is made up of contradictions."

Thinking of that unforgettable love time in college, Gu Yu fell silent.

After a while, she squeezed the quilt hard and said, "Let's see again."
