Chapter 145: Older Sister Qingjiu, Pretty
Gu Qingjiu carried her bags as she walked to her house door.
The mini-mart downstairs was closed since Chen Yanhong’s family probably went back for New Year as well.
Since her family was not around, the main entrance downstairs should be locked.
Gu Qingjiu’s family could only leave from the backdoor.
Chen Yanhong was scared that the Gu family would steal things from her mini-mart.
Who would want her things!?
Gu Qingjiu frowned as she entered through the back entrance.
Actually, she didn’t want to stay there.
With the Gu family’s financial means, they could actually afford a bigger house.
Gu Hong was a manager of a small company. Although the company wasn’t a huge one, Gu Hong expanded it single-handedly that it earned relatively well each year. The owner adored Gu Hong and gave him a salary of tens of thousands a month and a few hundred thousand yuan more of bonus each year.
In Dayi City, it was considered quite a high salary.
But then, the Gu family were not wasteful people. Dayi City’s cost of living was not too high either, so the Gu family’s bank account had at least a few hundred thousand yuan saved in it.
And it was considered as a well-to-do family in the local area.
But ever since Gu Hong moved to Dayi City, he was nostalgic about the old times. Moreover, the housing conditions were not bad, so he had no intention of moving houses.
The conditions were not the best, but Gu Qingmo and Gu Qingmo were not spoiled kids, so they had no complaints about it. But in the eyes of a family like the Yu’s, they were only considered as an ordinary family, though.
Hence, Gu Qingjiu didn’t live extravagantly.
The Gu family enjoyed keeping a low profile.
At that moment, the familiar surroundings seemed to emit uneasiness. It was as if she did not make any changes and could only follow what her life dictates.
Entering the army was only her first step in getting away from the Yu family, but here must be more than that.
As she thought about it, she’d already reached the entrance to her house.
Gu Qingjiu repeatedly pressed on the doorbell.
Not a while later, she could hear rustling from inside.
The door opened to reveal a small, exquisite face.
She had twin braids, a snowflake designed woolen hat, and she was donned in a cute child’s winter attire—looking as cute as a doll.
She was around seven to eight years old.
“Older Sister Qingjiu!”
This doll-like girl recognized Gu Qingjiu, and her eyes twinkled before rushing up to hug Gu Qingjiu’s legs!
Gu Qingjiu curiously raised her brows. “Xiaoxi, you can recognize me even like this?”
This young girl was the youngest daughter of her aunt, Gu Shouyan.
She was Gu Qingjiu’s youngest cousin.
Gu Shouyan had a son and a daughter. The son was about twenty-years-old.
The couple initially tried hard for another child, but they couldn’t get pregnant anymore. When they finally did so, she was already thirty-seven-years old.
The whole family was elated when the child was born, for she was the daughter they had been waiting for a long time.
Because they conceived the child only when they were at an old age, they favored this daughter the most. Gu Shouyan doted on her like never before.
She educated her in her own way rather than doting on her endlessly, so Gu Xiaoxi was still respectful and mature for her age.
And Gu Xiaoxi liked Gu Qingjiu a lot.
While Gu Qingjiu loved this child, too.
Energetic, cute, respectful, and good with words, she was a treasure!
Gu Qingjiu did not expect Gu Xiaoxi to recognize her in an instance!
“Because Older Sister Qingjiu is pretty!”
