At this moment, Su Ruyi's mind was full of questions—did her fourth brother not know either?

Shen Heping, you've kept it well hidden!

After saying goodbye to Ji Xuchang, Su Ruyi silently rode her bicycle back towards Dingjiatun.

What she didn't know was that not long after she left Dingjiatun, Shen Guoliang came to the village in his jeep, carrying the motorcycle that Zhang Xiaozhen had confiscated and which now belonged to Su Ruyi, to apologize to her.

Shen Guoliang did go to a meeting, but not to Beijing; he went to Harbin and returned the same day.

A third of those guns and ammunition were taken by the people of Bingcheng.

Shen Guoliang's heart ached as if it were bleeding.

When he returned, he saw his bodyguard, Xiao Zhao, groveling towards him like a defeated dog: "General, I...I might have done something wrong!"

"What? Zhang Xiaozhen kicked Su Ruyi out? And she even took back the motorcycle I gave her?"

Shen Guoliang's eyes widened. "Why didn't you stop me?!"

It turned out that after thinking it over, the guard, Xiao Zhao, felt that what he had done was not right and that he would be retaliated against in the future.

So he told Shen Guoliang about it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Guoliang nearly exploded.

Su Ruyi!

Dr. Su!

Dr. Su!

He had just recovered from his illness, and his wife kicked him out?

And...and even took back the motorcycle he gave her. Where does that leave Shen Guoliang's pride?

Shen Guoliang was so angry that his face turned ashen. He didn't care that he and Zhang Xiaozhen were still newlyweds, and the two had a big fight.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Guoliang, along with Xiao Zhao and Xiao Fang, arrived at Dingjiatun, pulling not only a motorcycle but also two barrels of gasoline.

But they came up empty-handed.

Su Ruyi wasn't there, but the door to the room outside the village clinic was open.

This is also so that when she is not around, villagers can come and treat their minor injuries themselves.

This is an old tradition in Dingjiatun that started with Jin Dachun.

The villagers of Dingjiatun believe that bringing medicines from the village clinic into their homes will cause illness, so even though they leave their doors open, nothing will be stolen.

Shen Guoliang put the motorcycle and the two cans of gasoline he had brought into the outer room. After waiting for a while, seeing that Su Ruyi still hadn't returned, he had no choice but to leave a note and leave dejectedly.

Not long after Shen Guoliang and his group left, Ding Silai and Feng Aijuan, a notorious hooligan couple from Dingjiatun, sneaked into the village clinic.

Previously, Feng Aijuan had seen Su Ruyi riding her bicycle and hurriedly leaving Dingjiatun.

At Jin Dachun's funeral, Su Ruyi received a lot of eggs, which made Ding Silai and his wife very envious.

Ding Silai cut his hand slightly. The two of them had only come to the village clinic to steal some eggs.

Boiled eggs, poached eggs, egg drop soup, scrambled eggs with wild onions, scrambled eggs with chives...

The couple drooled as they reached out to touch him.

But when they arrived at the clinic, they found a shiny motorcycle parked inside, and two large barrels of gasoline placed against the wall!

The two were overjoyed.

Motorcycles! Once sold, I won't have to work for years!

There's still gasoline!

And those two big metal buckets!

...

So when Su Ruyi returned to the clinic, she didn't see the motorcycle, the gasoline, or the note left by Shen Guoliang.

All that could be seen on the ground was a broken glass bottle and iodine cotton balls scattered all over the floor—these were accidentally knocked off the shelf and broken when Mr. and Mrs. Ding Silai were moving their motorcycle.

I wonder which clumsy patient did it!

Su Ruyi sighed, picked up a broom and dustpan, and began to sweep.

When Shen Guoliang returned to the base, Zhang Xiaozhen did not wait for him at home, but went back to her parents' home.

Zhang Xiaozhen smashed the entire three-story Soviet-style building to pieces.

Furniture, curtains, pots and pans—nothing was spared.

Shen Guoliang was furious: "That crazy woman!"

Then he chuckled again: "Good, it's better to be a little crazy than to be bored!"

Xiao Fang and Xiao Zhao followed behind, not daring to breathe loudly.

Shen Guoliang turned around: "You two play rock-paper-scissors!"

"Huh?" Both of them were completely confused.

"I'll let you two play rock-paper-scissors, quick!"

"Yes!" Without further hesitation, the two counted to three and attacked simultaneously.

Xiao Fang is scissors, and Xiao Zhao is cloth.

Xiao Zhao lost.

Shen Guoliang chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll give you three days to clean this place up—to restore it to its original state!"

Xiao Zhao's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd: "...Yes, General."

...

That evening, as usual, Su Qiushi prepared four dishes and a soup in his space, waiting for Su Ruyi to come back and eat.

As Su Ruyi was fetching water to wash her hands, Su Qiushi suddenly asked from behind her, "Yanran, how do I get to Dingjiatun from this courtyard?"

Su Ruyi turned around and asked curiously, "Grandpa, did you... remember something?"

Su Qiushi pretended to be dumbfounded and spread his hands: "All I can remember is that my Yanran got promoted and made a fortune. Yanran, did you make a fortune?"

Su Ruyi laughed: "These days, who talks about getting rich? Grandpa, you're probably feeling insecure because you don't have any money on you, right? How about this, I'll put some money on you."

As Su Ruyi spoke, she took out more than a dozen ten-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to Su Qiushi.

Su Qiushi held the money, her eyes slightly red.

He had a son and a daughter, and this time he received help from his granddaughter.

This was the first time ever that his children had given him money instead of taking it from him.

Su Qiushi carefully put the money away, his hands trembling slightly, and asked again, "Yanran, how do I get from this courtyard to Dingjiatun?"

Su Ruyi frowned slightly: "Grandpa, if you want to go out, I can take you out now, but it's already dark outside. What do you want to do outside?"

Su Qiushi scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Yanran, did I fall and make myself stupid, or is this place a bit... strange? Why is it always sunny? Is it never dark?"

Su Ruyi's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this old man... wasn't so stupid after all?

What should we do now?

She didn't hide the secret of this space from this old man at all!

When Su Ruyi examined his pulse before, she estimated that it would take him at least three to six months to gradually regain consciousness.

This situation is clearly not right...

Thinking of this, Su Ruyi quickly used three fingers to hold the old man's wrist and took his pulse.

On this day, she discovered a major problem—it turned out that the old man had regained consciousness!

Su Ruyi looked at Su Qiushi again, her eyes sharpening: "You remember everything now, don't you?"

Su Qiushi avoided eye contact.

Su Ruyi asked again, "Have you remembered everything?!"
