1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

Beijing Railway Station

Wen Li stood at the exit, anxiously watching the crowds coming and going.

A short while later, several familiar figures emerged from inside.

"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Zhou!"

The two old men also saw Wen Li. It had been more than a year since they last saw each other, and everyone hadn't changed much, except that Wen Li had gotten married and had children, and looked much more mature.

Behind them were Zhou Yu and Xie Chang'an, carrying large and small bags.

"Wen girl!"

"You've finally arrived! Was the journey smooth?"

Old Wang excitedly grasped Wen Li's hand, "Everything went smoothly! With Chang'an and Zhou Yu with us, the journey was very smooth!"

Xie Chang'an stepped forward with a smile: "Wen, it's been a long time!"

"Long time no see, everyone!"

Zhou Yu stepped forward with a smile, "Wen, the educated youth, we meet again!"

Zhou Yu had the best grades in the entire city, and Wen Li said with a smile, "Congratulations! Top scorer in the city!"

Congratulations! Your grades are pretty good too!

"Grandpas, you must be tired. Let's get settled in first. I've already prepared a house for you!"

Old Zhou raised his hand and rubbed his lower back. "Well, these old bones of mine are really sore!"

"Get on the bus!"

When the group saw the car, they all looked at Wen Li in surprise.

"Can you drive?"

"Lu Zechuan taught me when I was in the army!"

Both old men gave a thumbs-up and praised it.

Upon arrival, Wen Li led the four people out of the car.

The house is very close to Peking University; it's a small courtyard house, and it's also a property under Wen Li's own name.

Old Zhou pointed towards the backyard, "This house is nice; you can even grow vegetables over there!"

"Grandpa Zhou, haven't you finished farming yet?"

"No way! Right now, all I want to do is grow some vegetables and drink some tea. I'm not hoping for anything else!"

The Zhou family were originally capitalists. Although the state returned some of their properties, Zhou Yu was coming to Beijing, so he sold all the houses and factories in his hometown.

He now has some savings, enough for him and Zhou Yu to live on.

As for the rest of the Zhou family, they severed ties with him when Old Master Zhou was sent to the countryside.

All he wants to do now is live with his grandson, Zhou Yu.

"That's great! I'll be waiting to eat the vegetables you grow!"

"OK!"

Zhou Yu and Xie Chang'an put their things away. Wen Li had already prepared daily necessities for them, so they didn't need to buy anything else.

Xie Chang'an: "Wen, the educated youth, where do you live?"

Wen Li pointed to a small courtyard not far away, "Aunt Qin and I live over there. You can go there to find me!"

Old Wang smiled and nodded, "Alright, we've been talking for so long, but we still haven't seen the child!"

"Aunt Qin is taking the child; why don't you come with me and familiarize yourselves with the way?"

Wen Li became pregnant not long after marrying Lu Zechuan. Now the child is six months old. She needs to go to school, and Lu Zechuan is in the army, so Uncle Su helped her find an aunt to help take care of the child.

When the group arrived at Wen Li's place, they heard a child making a lot of noise before they even entered.

The door opened, and what came into view was a chubby little dumpling trying desperately to jump out of Aunt Qin's arms, while its little hands were trying to grab the little yellow dog in the corner.

"Aunt Qin, we're back!"

When Tuanzi saw her mother, she jumped around even more excitedly.

"After you left, he wanted to go with you, and he made a fuss for quite a while!"

Wen Li took the dumpling, and the child's attention was immediately drawn to the group.

Old Wang: "This child is really pretty, just like Wen Ya!"

Old Zhou: "His eyes are like his father's; he'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man!"

After they finished speaking, they took out the gifts they had prepared.

Now that they have been exonerated, the things they hid before can be brought out.

Old Wang prepared a small gold lock, while Old Zhou prepared a peace buckle.

Wen Li smiled and put the package away. After playing with the children for a while, Wen Li took them to eat and familiarize themselves with the surroundings.

Old Wang plans to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and Wen Li has already helped him find a suitable shop.

The two old men decided to go into partnership, which would not only make them money but also help them pass the time. How to run the business from there would be up to them to discuss.

The two were quite old and had been traveling by train for several days, so they went back to rest after their meal.

Xie Chang'an, Zhou Yu, and Wen Li still had things to say, so they went to Wen Li's house.

Wen Li's house wasn't very big, but there was a larger courtyard in front of it, which she renovated, building a pavilion inside and planting some flowers and plants around it.

We can usually entertain guests here in the pavilion.

Wen Li first placed the sleeping child in the cradle, and then brewed a pot of tea.

How has the past year been for you all?

Xie Chang'an said, "That's great! Now that we have a livelihood in the village, everyone is taking good care of us!"

"My parents went back to their hometown. My dad went back to be a teacher, and Changping went to university there. Now he's finally made it!"

Wen Li was happy for him too. In the original book, he lost his family and was left all alone.

Wen Li then looked at Zhou Yu, "And you?"

"I'm fine, just like before, nothing's different!"

"My relatives back home wanted to take my grandfather's inheritance, but after everything they've been through, my grandfather saw through them long ago, decisively dealt with the situation there, and came to Beijing with me!"

"That's good. Everything is getting better now. The country needs talent right now, and I believe we all have a bright future!"

"By the way, do you know anything about Grandpa Hou?"

Both shook their heads.

Xie Chang'an exclaimed, "Speaking of which, we have to thank Grandpa Hou; it was thanks to him that we were exonerated so quickly!"

"What happened?"

"Just two days after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came, military personnel came to take Grandpa Hou away. He mentioned us before he left, and the higher-ups quickly investigated and clarified the matter, and we were exonerated!"

Wen Li asked with a sigh, "Grandpa Hou must have our address, right?"

Zhou Yu looked worried: "Yes, he said before he left that he would write to us, but it's been more than half a year and we haven't received a letter!"

Old Hou's work is top secret; he cannot contact the outside world, so of course he cannot send letters casually.

"Something must have delayed him. Since the military picked him up, he'll be fine!"

Xie Chang'an hesitated for a moment before saying, "Something else happened the day before Grandpa Hou was taken away!"

"What is it?"

"Someone wanted to harm him, but there were some herbs drying in the cowshed, and a few villagers were keeping watch at night, otherwise something really bad might have happened!"

Wen Li's face darkened. She hadn't expected this to happen. Over the years, few people had paid attention to Old Man Hou, and this had happened just as the military was coming to take him away.

It's obvious that some people don't want the country to develop, so they want to nip researchers in the bud.

"Have you informed the military?"

"I did tell them, but we alerted them at the time, and there weren't many clues!"

Wen Li was relieved. As long as the military took it seriously, there wouldn't be any problems; they would find a way to handle it.
