Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 570 Because of you

Lin Qingping didn't interfere with what schools Zhiyuan wanted to apply to or how he planned to fill out his application.

She now feels that her greatest confidence as a mother is that she has the ability to provide for her two children's mistakes and set a good example. She only hopes that her two children can grow up freely and carefree, and do what they love.

Lin Qingping had always thought that Zhiyuan would apply to an aerospace university or an air force academy, because flying airplanes had been his dream since childhood. However, to her surprise, all of Zhiyuan's applications were for medical universities.

Lin Qingping was surprised when she heard him fill out his college application like this. "Why?" Why did he suddenly want to study medicine? She had never heard him express any interest in it before!

"I want to be a doctor! Doctors save lives and heal the wounded, which is also serving the people and protecting their lives! I think it's equally noble!" Zhiyuan said to her with a smile.

Lin Qingping did not speak again.

On this point, Gu Juncheng had a clear understanding of Zhiyuan's thoughts. That evening, when he and Lin Qingping discussed the issue of volunteering again, Gu Juncheng said, "Because of you."

Lin Qingping had actually thought of this long ago.

But this child...

In the end, all the words I wanted to say were reduced to a sigh of emotion.

“Being a doctor is a good career path, so don’t overthink it,” Gu Juncheng comforted her.

“I know…” Lin Qingping still felt regret, “but his dream of becoming a hero…”

"Ordinary people are also heroes," Gu Juncheng said. "Everyone who lives earnestly and contributes their own strength to making this world a better place is a hero."

Lin Qingping looked at him and suddenly remembered a line from a song in her past life: "Under the brilliant starry sky, who is the true hero? Ordinary people give me the most inspiration..."

"Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?" Gu Juncheng decided to correct her thinking. "Doctors treat the sick and save lives, protecting the health of the people. They are great heroes. Farmers work hard to cultivate the land so that we have food to eat and a means to survive. Farmers are great heroes. Our sanitation workers use brooms as their weapons to protect the cleanliness of our city. They are also great heroes."

Lin Qingping laughed, "I didn't say you were wrong... I just think your idea is really quite advanced."

“Of course,” Gu Juncheng added, “and you too.”

"Me?" She's a hero too?

"Of course, you entrepreneurs pay taxes, create wealth, and millions of you support the booming economic take-off. How can you not be heroes?"

"I didn't expect that I held such a high place in your heart." Lin Qingping chuckled upon hearing this.

"Well, how could I not be tall? In our family, I'm 1.8 meters tall, and you must be 2.4 or 2.5 meters tall."

"Huh? Am I that tall?" Lin Qingping didn't understand what he meant.

"Yeah, go ahead and step on my head!"

Lin Qingping finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Alright, go to sleep. Children have their own ideas, so let them choose for themselves!" Gu Juncheng turned off the light.

In the darkness, Lin Qingping smiled slightly.

She thought of Zhiyuan from her past life, who hadn't received much education, had been in fights, injured people, been to prison, and lived a lonely life...

Now, her little Zhiyuan is really growing into a big tree.

Zhiyuan's admission notice arrived at the end of July.

It was a registered letter sent to the military unit.

He was admitted to his first choice—the clinical medicine program at the best medical university in the capital!

Xiaotian saw the admission notice in the mailroom and it was personally delivered to her home.

Xiao Tian took Gu Juncheng as his role model, worked very hard, and was directly admitted to military academy from the army. He graduated two years ago, returned to Gu Juncheng's side, and was promoted.

Zhiyuan is a child that Xiaotian has watched grow up.

Zhiyuan always called him uncle, but in reality, he was more like an older brother to him. Back then, Zhiyuan and his friends kept getting into trouble on the island, and Xiaotian covered for them and cleaned up their messes countless times.

They have a deep brotherly bond.

"You little rascal! You've grown into a grown man!" Xiao Tian patted him hard on the shoulder, but his eyes were filled with warmth.

Who would have thought that the terrified, homeless little guy from back then would grow up to be so healthy and optimistic?

Zhiyuan chuckled, "Uncle Tian, ​​I'm going to school, you have to see me off, give me a farewell party or something? We're like brothers!"

What kind of talk is this?

Uncle and buddy?

Xiao Tian saw right through him and sneered twice, "Dream on! You want me to secretly give you wine? I'll tell your father!"

Zhiyuan was discouraged, "I'm an adult now!"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Qingping cut a plate of fruit and gave it to Xiao Tian.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Zhiyuan hurriedly replied.

"Sister-in-law, are you happy?" Xiao Tian knew that Lin Qingping treated Zhiyuan like her own son, so he smiled and congratulated her.

"Of course I'm happy! Thank you, Xiaotian." How could she not know how good Xiaotian was to Zhiyuan?

"Hurry up! Hurry up, Dad!" A voice called out from outside the door. She had pulled her father back. Her brother had been accepted into a university in the capital! What was her father dawdling for?

Gu Juncheng already knew.

After Xiao Tian retrieved the admission notice from the mailroom, Gu Juncheng was told by everyone he went that a certain university had sent a registered letter to his son, Zhiyuan!

What else could a registered letter from a university be but an admission notice?

That kid is really something!

Gu Juncheng's heart was filled with turmoil, but on the surface, he remained calm and didn't say a word even after entering his home.

Zhangzhu was worried for him, thinking that her father didn't know any manners.

Zhangzhu spoke on behalf of her father and brother, "He's so happy, he doesn't know what to say. Our dad isn't a very quick-witted person, and you know that, brother, but I'm saying it for him: Congratulations!"

Gu Juncheng laughed at what she said.

Lin Qingping invited Xiaotian to stay for dinner. That evening, Gu Juncheng, unusually, opened a bottle of wine. Zhiyuan originally thought that his father, Gu, was going to drink with Uncle Xiaotian, but unexpectedly, he also poured a glass for him.

What about baijiu?

He had just wanted to ask Uncle Xiaotian for something, and now it had actually come true? And he was even drinking openly with his father?

Zhiyuan subconsciously looked at Lin Qingping and found that his mother did not stop him and seemed to tacitly approve.

is this real?

Later, Zhiyuan found out why.

Because he discovered that Gu Juncheng had poured another glass.

This drink could absolutely not have been for Lin Qingping or Zhangzhu...

Sure enough, Gu Juncheng said to him, "Take this cup to your father."

Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

His father's photo has always been hanging in the house.

When Zhangzhu was little, she asked who that person on the wall was...

"Don't just stand there, go quickly," Lin Qingping urged him.

In that instant, Zhiyuan realized that his mother might have always been the one who understood his father the most...

He picked up his wine glass, only to find that everyone in the family had stood up—his father, Uncle Xiaotian, his mother holding Zhangzhu's hand, all standing with him in front of his father's photo.

Zhiyuan's eyes were sore and swollen, and hot tears were about to spill over...

Gu Juncheng made him stand at the very front.

The man in the photo is in his early twenties, in the prime of his youth, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, smiling at them.

Looking at the photo, Gu Juncheng couldn't help but tear up. "Old Li, I... I finally didn't let you down."

At those words, Zhiyuan could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face. He choked out to his father, "Dad, don't worry... My dad and mom are both so good to me... like my own parents. My sister and I are like real siblings too... I'm... I'm..."

She eventually cried so hard she couldn't speak.

"Uncle Li." A clear, bright voice rang out, "My brother cried. I've come to tell you that he got into the best university. From now on, he'll be the best doctor ever. Aren't you happy, Uncle Li?"

Zhiyuan listened, raised his hand and touched Zhangzhu's head, his face streaked with tears, "He will be happy, thank you, Zhangzhu."

Zhiyuan glanced back casually and saw Lin Qingping behind him, her eyes also filled with tears.

Thank you, Mom. Without you, Zhiyuan wouldn't be where he is today...
