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

Chapter 211 In this life, Gu Jianing especially values ​​family ties.

"Both times we met, it was the dead of winter, yet the brother and sister were dressed very thinly..."

Qin Zhihong and Du Lan listened carefully to Gu Jianing's story.

They frowned as soon as they heard it.

They sent money home.

But why do two children still need to go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, and rely on exchanging medicinal herbs to buy food to get through the winter?

They know how cold the winters are in the Northwest region.

But the two children were dressed in thin clothes.

Where did the money they sent go?
Furthermore, Granny Qin actually contracted tuberculosis!

Qin Zhihong's heart sank.

That was his mother. He knew that he had been away from home for eight years without returning or even hearing from her, which was unfilial of him.

However, one cannot have both great love and personal love.

He also hoped that the project at hand would be completed as soon as possible so that he could return home in glory and bring honor to his mother.

But if Mother has already met with an accident, then... then...

Qin Zhihong's tears also flowed down his face, his heart filled with guilt.

The couple's mood improved after Gu Jianing told them that she had come to their home and personally cured Grandma Qin's tuberculosis.

But when Gu Jianing later revealed that Qin De had conspired with post office staff to fraudulently claim the money they had sent back, the couple's hearts sank again.

Especially when Gu Jianing said that Qin De also planned to sell Qin Tian, ​​the couple's expressions became even more grief-stricken.

Qin Zhihong and Du Lan never expected that the wages they had sent back home every month for more than eight years without fail would never reach their family.

In that family, with the elderly and the young, how did they manage to live for those eight years?

No wonder, no wonder Qin Tian and his sister had to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs in the dead of winter.

No wonder Granny Qin was sick and had no money for treatment.

"I am unfilial. I am not worthy of being a son or a father." Qin Zhihong was filled with self-blame.

Du Lan also felt that she was not worthy of being a mother.

When she left, the siblings were only two years old, and she so heartlessly abandoned them.

"Dr. Gu, thank you, thank you." After realizing what had happened, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan stood up and bowed to Gu Jianing to express their gratitude.

They knew that without Gu Jianing's help, they didn't know what would happen to their mother and two children when they returned home.

My mother might die of tuberculosis.

With the mother dead and the son sold, the remaining daughter will likely not fare well either.

They thought, what if all their family members were gone?

So how much meaning is left in their years of perseverance?
Therefore, Gu Jianing is their benefactor.

Grandpa Sang never expected that he would bring two highly talented young colleagues from the institute who had just come from Northeast China to visit his home.

Unexpectedly, their granddaughter-in-law had such a connection with them.

This can be considered a kind of fate.

To avoid worrying Qin Zhihong and Du Lan, Gu Jianing also explained the current situation of Qin Tian and the other two.

After learning that the money had been returned and the person who had fraudulently claimed it had been arrested and sentenced, the Qin family's life improved.

Qin Zhihong and Du Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Gu, I heard you're going back to the Northwest Military Region soon. Could Ah Hong and I write a letter and ask you to take it back for us?" Du Lan pleaded.

Although she and Qin Zhihong have come to Beijing, they are here to work on a project at the Beijing Weapons Research Institute.

As long as the project remains unresolved, they cannot contact their families, let alone return home.

But the two believed that they would definitely be able to return in six months at most. "Okay." Since it was just a small favor, Gu Jianing naturally wouldn't refuse.

I imagine Qin Tian, ​​Qin Qing, and Grandma Qin will be very happy to receive the letter.

So Qin Zhihong and Du Lan didn't leave the Sang family until they finished writing the letter, handed it to Gu Jianing, and gave her detailed instructions.

"Ningning, when you return to the Northwest Military Region, please take care of the Qin family whenever you have time," Grandpa Sang instructed.

"Grandpa, I know."

Grandpa Sang was also quite moved by the story of Qin Zhihong and Du Lan's family.

He asked Gu Jianing to look after the Qin family, firstly because of Qin Zhihong and Du Lan's sacrifices. Only he, as a fellow researcher, truly understood the hardships Qin Zhihong and Du Lan had endured, and of course, their families had faced similar difficulties.
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan are contributing to the country, and their families, who are their support and the source of their strength, should be well taken care of.

Secondly, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan are young and talented, and this couple is the main person in charge of this project.

Once the project is completed, they will certainly be rewarded handsomely.

The Qin couple have a bright future ahead of them.

Being on good terms with them will only bring Ningning benefits, not harm.

Gu Jianing carefully put away the letter Du Lan had given her.

Holding this letter, I felt a mix of emotions.

Without a doubt, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan are great people. However, in this life, without her help, Qin Tian and his sister, along with Grandma Qin, who remained in Qin Family Village, would have ended up like the scene she saw in the future.

When Qin Zhihong and Du Lan returned home in glory, all they saw were three graves.

Gu Jianing had no idea what Qin Zhihong and Du Lan must have felt at that time.

but……

Gu Jianing thought that if it were her, the word "grief" would not be enough to describe it.

In this life in particular, Gu Jianing values ​​family ties especially.

She couldn't believe what would happen to her family in this life; she'd probably go crazy.

"Perhaps I am still a rather selfish person."

Selfishly, I only want to take good care of my own little family and want my relatives to live well.

As for even greater contributions...

That must be done only after ensuring that the family is safe and sound.

She also doesn't consider herself a great person. She doesn't think she can do things like selfless dedication or sacrificing personal love for the greater good.

"Ningning, Xiaoxi is calling."

As Gu Jianing was thinking, Grandma Sang's voice came from outside, instantly interrupting her thoughts.

They finally called!
Gu Jianing had been waiting for Sheng Zexi's call all day.

"Hey, Grandma, I'm here."

After putting the letter away, Gu Jianing left the room and quickly answered the phone.

Sheng Zexi's magnetic voice rang out from the other end of the line. Perhaps because he had run there and was in a hurry, his voice was still slightly breathless.

In the quiet of the phone call, the sound of panting was especially clear and moving.

This reminded Gu Jianing of those nights.

Even the back of my ears felt a burning sensation.

"Ningning, is there something you need?" Sheng Zexi asked on the other end of the phone.

When he returned from training, he heard from the communications department that Gu Jianing had called him twice and asked him to call her back when he got back.

Sheng Zexi knew that something must have happened for Gu Jianing to be in such a hurry to find him.

This made Sheng Zexi somewhat worried.

So before even entering the house, he immediately ran to the communications department and called Gu Jianing.
