Chapter 261 Parting
"Our fellow villagers have already given this road a name," the village secretary said with a smile.

After confirming that Gu Jianing would fund the road repairs, he gathered the villagers and told them about it, mainly so that they would know and remember his kindness.

Only those who know how to remember kindness will not do badly in the future.

The villagers were very moved when they learned about it, and someone suggested a name for the road, which was subsequently approved by everyone.

"After this road is completed, it will be called Anning Road."

Ning, naturally, is the Ning from Gu Jianing, meaning peace and tranquility, which is a very good meaning.

Gu Jianing never expected that all she wanted to do was build a road in her hometown, and that her fellow villagers would actually name the road after her.

She knew this was the feedback from her fellow villagers.

Actually, Gu Jianing felt it didn't matter whether the road was named after her or not, but since the villagers had made that decision, she didn't object.

"Okay, then it's decided."

When the road construction began, Gu Jianing and her family of four also embarked on their journey to the eastern islands.

The Gu family members were very reluctant to part with him.

Zhuangzhuang and the other children were especially reluctant to part with Xingxing and Yueyue, and they all cried after learning that they were leaving.

Yao Chunhua, along with Old Man Gu, Gu Yunting, and others, saw them off at the train station.

Yao Chunhua held Gu Jianing tightly, unwilling to let go, her eyes red-rimmed.

"I don't know how long it will be before we meet again after this separation."

"I originally thought that you could come back and stay at home for a month, which would be quite a long time, but I didn't expect that a month would pass so quickly."

Gu Jianing hugged her mother tightly, cherishing the warmth and scent of her mother. "Mother, don't worry, we will definitely come back whenever we have time."

Gu Jianing naturally cherishes the time she spends with her family.

For married daughters, each time they return to their parents' home, they see their parents one less time.

How could she not cherish it? How could she not want to come back?

Gu Jianing was truly reluctant to part with her. In the end, Yao Chunhua recovered first and even comforted Gu Jianing.

Then he hugged Xingxing and Yueyue.

"Xingxing, Yueyue, you must take good care of your mother, okay?"

"Grandpa, Grandma, we know."

"Good kids, all of them are good kids."

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou also walked up and looked at Sheng Zexi, "Zexi, is it only a year before you are transferred to the eastern islands?"

"Yes, that's what they say. I estimate I'll be transferred to Beijing in a year."

“Third Brother, study hard for your exam. Didn’t you want to go to Beijing University? Go to Beijing University and wait for us. A year later, when Brother Xi is transferred to Beijing, we can be reunited.” Gu Jianing said, taking out a key. “This is the closest courtyard house to Beijing University. You can stay there if you need to.”

"And my sister-in-law..."

Gu Jianing looked at Gu Yunting and said, "Brother, I don't know my sister-in-law's level or which university she can get into. If she can get into a university in Beijing, she can stay there if needed."

Gu Yunting nodded, "We'll see. If your sister-in-law can get into university and study in another city, I'm planning to take the two children with her once she's settled down."

It wasn't that he was worried about Yang Manman, but Gu Yunting felt that the situation had changed since last year, becoming increasingly open. He believed that going to big cities and going out into the world would offer more opportunities.

He didn't want to be confined to a small locust flower village.

He also wanted to give his wife and children a better life.

Gu Yunting shared his thoughts.

Gu Jianing was surprised that her older brother was so forward-thinking. Indeed, the coming period was a time when opportunities were plentiful and it was the easiest time to get rich.

"Brother, I agree with your idea. I think you can definitely do it."

"Anyway, if you need anything, remember to tell us. We are siblings from the same mother, and we should help each other."

Gu Yunting patted her head, his eyes full of tenderness, "Yes, your older brother knows."

After hugging everyone, saying goodbye to each one, and giving them detailed instructions, Gu Jianing and her family of four finally boarded the train.

Only when the train started moving and people were completely out of sight did Yao Chunhua and Old Man Gu finally shed tears.

They had been holding back, afraid that Gu Jianing would feel even more reluctant if she saw it.

Gu Yunting looked at his tearful parents and then at the departing train. "Father, Mother, let's go back. I believe that things will get better and better for my sister's family."

“We can’t hold them back either. We have to seize the opportunity and develop the Gu family well. Our family will always be our little sister’s strongest support.”

Old Man Gu and Yao Chunhua immediately nodded, their attention also shifting somewhat. "Yes, our family also needs to develop. If Ningning needs us one day, we can help her. Even if we can't help her, at least we can always support her!"
-
Over here, Xingxing and Yueyue, who had boarded the train, also looked a little listless.

The two little ones had red eyes, clearly reluctant to part with their grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins, and others.

Although they only spent a month together, it's the easiest time for children to form a bond, especially since they are related by blood.

In the end, it was Sheng Zexi who took out a new storybook and told the two little ones a story, which gradually diverted their attention.

This trip to the eastern islands will only take a day and a night by train.

However, after taking the train, you still need to take a boat, cross a sea area, and finally arrive at the island where you are stationed, a place called Huansha Island.

Beside them, Sheng Zexi was telling stories to the two children, while Gu Jianing turned on the weather forecast.

Because she was on a train, the weather changed as she moved.

We cannot locate the weather information for Huansha Island at the moment.

However, Gu Jianing had heard before that the weather on Huansha Island wasn't very good.

In the hottest part of summer, the temperature can reach over 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, sometimes even above 40 degrees Celsius. Winters, on the other hand, are not very cold.

The lowest temperature will be a few degrees, but it won't drop below zero.

Therefore, it doesn't snow on Huansha Island.

but……

Because it is an island surrounded by sea and connected to a large ocean, typhoons occur every year. Each time a typhoon is relatively large, it has a significant impact on Huansha Island, the soldiers on missions, and even the residents living on the island.

Therefore, Gu Jianing felt that the weather forecast she received was quite important.

"Do the islanders on Huansha Island make a living by fishing at sea?" Gu Jianing asked Sheng Zexi, who was standing next to her.

Sheng Zexi nodded, "Yes, as the saying goes, those who live by the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live by the sea live off the sea. There isn't much land there, and it's not suitable for farming, so people can only go out to sea to fish."
