Gu Qingcheng stayed in the northwest for three years. Except for a trip back home when Zhou Ziqin gave birth, she basically never went home.

That year, Zhou Ziqin gave birth to a daughter, and as the couple had agreed, she named her "Gu Nianxi".

When Gu Qingcheng returned from the Northwest Base, little Nianxi was already two and a half years old.

She didn't even know the tall and handsome man.

"Who are you?"

The little girl asked curiously with her chin tilted up in a baby voice.

"I'm your father!"

Gu Qingcheng squatted down and reached out to pick up this cute little girl.

"dad?"

Gu Nianxi blinked, as if trying to determine the truthfulness of Gu Qingcheng's words.

"Yes! I'm your father! My name is Gu Qingcheng, and your name is Gu Nianxi, right?"

Gu Qingcheng was almost overwhelmed by the cuteness of the little girl.

Gu Nianxi definitely inherited the good genes from her parents.

She is white, plump, and pink and tender, with her hair combed into two small buns. If there is a red dot between her eyebrows, she can be a doll.

"No! I'm Xiaoxi!"

Gu Nianxi is still too young to distinguish between her scientific name and her nickname.

She corrected him seriously and looked at Gu Qingcheng warily: "Bad guy! You don't even know Xiaoxi's name! You're not Xiaoxi's father."

Gu Qingcheng: ...

"Gu, Comrade Gu, you're back!"

It was Wei's mother who heard the noise and hurried out of the house.

When she saw the tall figure at the gate of the courtyard, her brows immediately lit up with joy.

"Xiaoxi, this is daddy, call him daddy!"

While greeting Gu Qingcheng, Wei Ma urged Gu Nianxi.

Gu Nianxi, however, threw herself into Wei Ma's arms, pouting and saying nothing.

I don’t know if the little girl is shy or angry, but no matter what others say, she refuses to speak.

Gu Qingcheng said guiltily, "Don't blame the child, it's all my fault!"

"I'm sorry for the child and Xiaoqin!"

Gu Qingcheng herself is a woman. Although she has become a man this time, she still has a woman's heart.

She knew that pregnancy and childbirth were definitely the times when women were most vulnerable and needed the most care.

But when Zhou Ziqin was pregnant, Gu Qingcheng was not around.

But on the day she gave birth, she rushed over, only took a look at the baby, and then left in a hurry.

The child is almost three years old, and she has never raised him or spent a single day with him.

It's normal that the child doesn't recognize her.

"How can I blame you? You're doing this for work too!"

Zhou Ziqin understood very well.

She looked at the familiar man in front of her. This was her husband and the pillar of the entire family.

Although he was not at home, he still protected her.

She, a daughter of a capitalist family with a flawed background, was able to stay safely in the capital thanks to her husband.

Zhou Ziqin had heard some rumors from his uncle and second uncle:

"Someone reported you, saying you were clinging to dividends and making money without working for them. You're a typical capitalist from the exploiting class."

"However, the report letter was directly withheld by the deputy leader."

"He angrily rebuked those who reported it: 'The husband is forging swords for the country in the northwest, and you want to harm his wife. You are the ones with the problem!'"

"Xiaoqin, that's amazing! Qingcheng's name has been put on the list of key protected areas."

"As long as he's here, no one can do anything to you!"

In fact, even if his second uncle and the others didn’t say it, Zhou Ziqin himself had his own feelings.

In addition to the supercomputing center and chip factory, there are many scientific research units, digital factories, manufacturing factories, etc. that she doesn’t even know, and they are all very friendly to her.

When you go outside, you always meet "acquaintances".

Zhou Ziqin received many preferential treatments.

She knew that these were all brought to her by her husband.

Those who once laughed at her for being stupid and spending her dowry to support a gigolo now envy her.

Zhou Ziqin is content and knows how to be grateful.

Especially seeing that my former best friends had to resign and leave the capital for various reasons, some even -

She was extremely glad that she married Gu Qingcheng!

As for the fact that Gu Qingcheng couldn't stay by his side, Zhou Ziqin didn't care much.

Nowadays, there are too many cases where couples are separated.

Not to mention the distant past, there are too many examples of couples separating among scientific researchers alone.

Some even hide their identities, and their wives have no way to find them.

Zhou Ziqin felt that she was much better now. She knew where her husband was and what he was doing.

They can communicate and make phone calls, and her husband can come back when she gives birth.

Zhou Ziqin was already very satisfied.

"Although it's for work, my debt to you is real!"

Gu Qingcheng held Zhou Ziqin's hand and spoke seriously.

There was a flicker of guilt in her eyes.

Zhou Ziqin noticed it keenly and forced a smile, "Are you still going on a business trip?"

"Well! I can only stay at home for a few days this time. I have to go to another base in the northwest!"

There are too many key projects in China.

If one succeeds, there will be another.

Gu Qingcheng is like a universal brick that can be moved wherever needed.

"...You go ahead! I'm at home!"

Although Zhou Ziqin was reluctant, she still gave her support.

Gu Qingcheng was a little hesitant this time.

This time she will go to the Gobi base, and it will probably be another two or three years.

Maybe even longer.

The gears of history are turning slowly, and a bigger storm is coming.

Gu Qingcheng was worried that if she was not in the capital, her family might be affected.
