Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 180 The Couple Arrives in Beijing

Of course, this was also because high-speed rail did not exist at that time.

As for airplanes, in this day and age, they are not something ordinary people can afford to ride in.

Therefore, when people travel long distances nowadays, most choose to take the old-fashioned green train, which is relatively slow.

Because Gu Jianing is pregnant, Sheng Zexi is taking even better care of her this time than before.

Nothing happened this time.

Midway through, an elderly man suffered a heart attack.

The train staff urgently searched for a doctor, but Gu Jianing, believing that saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, still managed to save the person with silver needles.

Apart from that, nothing else happened.

After 30 hours, the train finally arrived at Beijing Station.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Sheng..." It was still Sheng Zexi protecting Gu Jianing as they walked. As soon as they got off the train, Sheng Zexi heard someone calling him.

Looking up, I saw it was my grandfather's bodyguard.

Sheng Zexi escorted Gu Jianing over, and the guard saluted Sheng Zexi, saying, "Deputy Regiment Commander Sheng, Elder Sang sent me to pick you up and take you back."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Ningning, Grandpa sent someone to pick us up."

"Ah."

The guard was driving, so the two of them got into the car as soon as they got off the train.

The car carried them all the way to the compound.

The Sang family lived in a large compound because of Sang's maternal grandfather's status, and there were guards stationed at the gate.

This compound is mostly inhabited by researchers from the weapons research institute and their families.

After the check and registration were completed at the entrance, the car drove in and stopped in front of one of the two-story villas.

As soon as Gu Jianing was helped out of the car by Sheng Zexi, she heard a slightly aged but very gentle voice calling out to her.

“Ning girl…”

Gu Jianing looked up and saw Grandma Sang standing outside.

"Grandma~" Gu Jianing raised her hand to greet her, revealing a smile.

That smile seemed to unlock Grandma Sang's senses, and she jogged toward Gu Jianing.

"Grandma, slow down." Sheng Zexi was startled and shocked when he saw her running over.

You should know that in Sheng Zexi's eyes, his grandmother had always been gentle, elegant, and spoke softly. No matter when, her demeanor was always graceful.

Unlike now, when things are in such a rush.

In fact, Sheng Zexi knew that she was very happy to see them return.

But, Grandma is an old woman, and he was afraid she would fall if she ran too fast.

If Grandma Sang heard her eldest grandson say this, she would definitely think to herself: I even cursed your father a while ago, where am I supposed to be elegant? Now I definitely want to see my eldest grandson's wife.

Soon, Grandma Sang arrived in front of Gu Jianing, took her hands in hers, and then looked her up and down. Seeing that Gu Jianing's complexion was rosy and there was no sadness in her eyes, she was relieved. When she saw Gu Jianing's big belly, her eyes softened even more. "Ning'er, how have you been lately? Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well? Has the baby been bothering you...?"

"Grandma, you're asking so many questions at once, how can Ningning possibly answer them all?" Sheng Zexi teased with a smile.

Grandma Sang glared at him.

Gu Jianing smiled and said, "Grandma is just concerned about me."

She then grasped Grandma Sang's hand in return. At that moment, even without looking, she could feel the wrinkles on her hand, yet it was so warm.

The first thing these hands did upon her arrival wasn't to grasp her grandson Sheng Zexi's hand, but to hold hers. The moment Gu Jianing's hand was held by these hands, she felt a warmth spread through her, and her heart warmed as well.

She went straight up to Grandma Sang and hugged her tightly, saying, "Grandma, I'm fine, everything is alright."

Grandma Sang paused for a moment, then her smile widened. "Good, good, everything is fine."

After being released, she silently turned her head and wiped her eyes, not letting Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi see her reddened eyes.

"Quick, quick, don't stand here, come inside."

“Your grandfather was supposed to stay home with me today and wait for you, but he was called away because of an emergency. He probably won’t be back until the afternoon.”

Grandma Sang led them into the house while explaining.

"Come on, this is the room we've prepared for you." As soon as they entered the house, Grandma Sang led them inside and told them to put their luggage down first.

"This room used to be where Xiao Wan lived."

“Xiao Xi came back to stay before, but she stayed on the second floor.”

“I thought that since you are pregnant and your pregnancy is more advanced, it would be more suitable for you to stay on the first floor. On this floor, apart from the room where the two of us old folks live, Awan’s room is the biggest and best.”

Looking at the room's furnishings, it's clear that the layout hasn't changed much since Awan's time there.

Grandma Sang looked at the decorations, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

She thought that now that Xiao Xi and Ning Ya Tou could move in, Xiao Wan would probably agree and be very happy if she were here.

"Grandma, thank you for thinking of everything so thoughtfully." Gu Jianing's eyes were full of gratitude.

She wouldn't complain about anything just because it was her mother-in-law's room when she was alive.

She knew that it was out of love that her maternal grandparents had tidied up this room for them to live in.

Moreover, even with just a quick glance, Gu Jianing found the room to be excellent; it was indeed large, and the items inside were very complete and exquisite.

Sheng Zexi was also looking at the room in front of him.

He had been to his mother's room before. When he stayed at the Sang family's house before, his grandparents had suggested that he stay there.

But Sheng Zexi refused.

He didn't want to cause trouble.

Now, Sheng Zexi feels that his grandparents' current arrangement is perhaps the best one.

To truly miss someone, you don't need to rely solely on seeing objects that evoke memories.

Letting her things be inherited and passed down is another form of love.

He believed that his mother would agree and be happy if she knew about his grandmother's arrangements.

So, Sheng Zexi put his luggage down.

When the two came out, Grandma Sang had already made two cups of malted milk powder and handed one to each of them.

"Come on, warm your body and your hands."

"Thank you grandma."

Gu Jianing sat down on the sofa. She knew that malted milk powder was the best hospitality in this era.

I lowered my head and took a sip. The sweet malted milk powder entered my mouth, and at that moment, not only did my body feel warm, but my heart also felt sweet.

As if afraid that she would be awkward and reserved, Grandma Sang sat beside her, holding her hand and talking to her in a very affectionate manner.

Seeing the exhaustion on Gu Jianing's face, she quickly said, "Look at me, you've been on the train for so long, you must not have rested well. You should go to your rooms and rest, especially Ningning, you're pregnant, it must be even more tiring for you, you need to rest even more."

“Okay.” Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing did not refuse.

Taking a long-distance bus can indeed be quite tiring.
