Chapter 101 "How wonderful." The End...
The reason Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan went back was that they could openly take out those things from the space by acting alone.
This is much simpler than going back to Beijing to do it.
They also had a way to deal with Xu Wanqing. Zhao Shuyi gave Xu Wanqing sleeping pills so that she could sleep for a while, and then tied her hands, feet and eyes, and threw her directly into the space.
She would only be brought out when she needed to eat or do something, so even if Xu Wanqing's backer in Hong Kong wanted to find her, it would be impossible for him to do so.
While Xu Wanqing was in a daze, constantly hoping that someone would come to save her, she was unaware that her hopes had already been completely blocked by Zhao Shuyi.
But she still wanted to bargain with Zhao Shuyi and the others, hoping they would release her.
She provided information to Zhao Shuyi and the others, but they ignored it all.
"I'm telling you the truth, I know the future development trend and the future policies. As long as you promise to let me go and not take me back to the mainland, I can tell you anything!"
"With these, Gu Yan's future path will be smoother, and you will also benefit from it."
However, despite her words, Zhao Shuyi and the other person remained unmoved, seemingly having no interest in what she said.
"You don't love Gu Yan at all, do you? You don't even care about his future!"
Xu Wanqing is going crazy, why is she ignoring her?
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yan glanced at her sideways, and his cold gaze made Xu Wanqing shudder.
How dare he say his wife doesn't love him? Is he crazy?
If his wife doesn't love him, who will she love?
Xu Wanqing retorted angrily, "Haven't you always wanted to know why I'm targeting you? I can tell you the answer: because I'm someone who has lived a second life!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuyi finally lifted her eyelids and glanced at Xu Wanqing.
Just when Xu Wanqing thought Zhao Shuyi would ask her about her rebirth with great interest, she saw the other party turn her gaze back, as if she were a madwoman talking nonsense.
Xu Wanqing panicked. She said, "You have to believe me, everything I'm saying is true! Our country will develop very well. In just a few years, the college entrance examination will be reinstated, reforms will be implemented, and we will become prosperous and strong..."
She said a lot, but Zhao Shuyi and the other person remained unmoved, which made Xu Wanqing feel somewhat desperate.
Finally, Zhao Shuyi asked in a light tone, "If things will get so good, why do you still insist on staying in Hong Kong?"
Xu Wanqing choked, wasn't she just asking a question she already knew the answer to?
It's all because he offended her on the mainland, and because he contacted those enemy agents. If he had known, he would have had Zhao Shuyi killed!
Gu Yan saw the hatred in her eyes, and his expression grew even colder.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, let's go out for a walk instead."
As he spoke, he got up and forced Xu Wanqing to take sleeping pills, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"No, please, mmm..."
After they went outside, Gu Yan asked Zhao Shuyi about the thing he had been worried about.
“If we take her back, she’ll be locked up, and she might confess about her rebirth. What if she says something that’s bad for you? Maybe we shouldn’t take her back.”
Gu Yan's concerns were clearly justified, because Xu Wanqing was indeed acting rather erratically.
But Zhao Shuyi had already figured out what to do.
She said, "No, the more she acts like this, the less we can let her go. Since she can find enemy agents to deal with us, she will do other things that are detrimental to the people and the country, and continue to do things that are harmful to us. I think people like her should be arrested."
"If she confesses those things, it will actually be a good thing, and the organization will be even less likely to let her go. As for me, as long as you don't tell anyone and I don't admit it, no matter how much others suspect me, there's nothing I can do."
"Even Xu Wanqing doesn't suspect me, so why would anyone else? Besides, I'm a hero this time."
Although Gu Yan knew that Zhao Shuyi's words made sense, he was still worried.
“After this, let’s not use the space outside anymore. Let’s only use it when we’re at home. This is the safest solution I can think of.”
Zhao Shuyi did not object to his suggestion, and nodded, saying, "Okay, whatever you say."
“I also feel that using a private space outside is particularly unsafe. Although private spaces can bring us a lot of convenience, it is unnecessary to make us worry all the time by cheating in this way. I am already very satisfied with the good life I have now.”
Many of the things Zhao Shuyi does now have gone beyond making herself happy; instead, they are more about the collective and its interests.
If she's gone to such lengths and someone still wants to cause her trouble, then she can finally live her life peacefully and stop thinking about the interests of others.
While ensuring the safety of Director Cao and his group, the two rented a boat, intending to follow them back so they could help if they encountered problems or seek support if they got into trouble.
And inside this ship, they were naturally going to put that batch of big stuff. It was thanks to Xu Wanqing that they were able to find a good excuse to take those things out.
Who knows when they'll be able to invent and create on their own in space?
But having Xu Wanqing as an excuse made things much easier. After all, she was involved in a gang, so it was perfectly normal for her to be able to steal some things.
Soon it was time for them to leave port, and everything went smoothly for Director Cao and the others.
The goods they loaded onto the ship were small items from Hong Kong, such as hardware, stationery, toys, etc., which were easily loaded onto the ship.
When we disembark, we can simply switch the items.
Once aboard the ship, Zhao Shuyi and her companion didn't rest. They kept thinking about how to better explain their trip to Hong Kong when they got back.
Finally, Zhao Shuyi made a decision: "Let's just take the initiative to tell you about our rebirth."
Gu Yan was shocked. "How could you say that?"
Zhao Shuyi could tell from his expression that he had misunderstood, and said, "I was talking about Xu Wanqing's rebirth. This time, the credit goes to Xu Wanqing, and we should also report her revelation of her rebirth."
To avoid being implicated, we have no choice but to strike first.
After Zhao Shuyi explained it simply, Gu Yan understood.
They discussed the details and decided on their story.
Xu Wanqing was already a relatively important figure in the Black Tiger Gang, and in order to save her, they provided Zhao Shuyi and her companion with these medical supplies. Of course, they wanted to intercept them along the way, but Zhao Shuyi and her companion skillfully evaded them.
Zhao Shuyi and her group had also made arrangements for this. On the way, they deviated from the route and acted as if they were being chased.
Zhao Shuyi was only able to accomplish this because there were no surveillance cameras in this era, and she had Gu Yan by her side who knew these tactics; otherwise, she really couldn't have done it alone.
Since the credit wasn't earned voluntarily by Xu Wanqing, even if the credit were attributed to her, she wouldn't be able to gain her freedom.
Furthermore, once people talk about her rebirth, they will start to study her statements and focus their attention on her.
As a result, the matter of that batch of medical equipment can naturally be made less noticeable, which is the best outcome for Zhao Shuyi.
The two followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far behind the main group, unsure whether the other side had noticed them.
The ship pretended to be intercepted midway, falling behind for a while, and finally arrived the day after Director Cao and his party arrived at the port on the Guangzhou side.
When Director Cao and his team returned to Beijing, they were shocked to hear that Zhao Shuyi and the other person hadn't gone back yet. However, they received a message from Zhao Shuyi and the other person the very next day, and even learned that they had also obtained the equipment, and it was brand new. Director Cao and his team were overjoyed.
Before Zhao Shuyi could even return, the report immediately acknowledged Zhao Shuyi's achievements.
Zhao Shuyi made such a great contribution, so Gu Yan's contribution was also considerable.
Upon returning, he took the opportunity to request a transfer to Beijing, which was naturally welcomed by the city's leaders.
When the hospital leaders received the large package that Zhao Shuyi and her team brought back, their faces were beaming with joy.
It was only later that Zhao Shuyi heard from Gu Yan that their trip to Hong Kong to buy those medical devices was, as they had initially guessed, mainly a smokescreen.
The hospital had already contacted Hong Kong and expressed its desire to purchase the property, but it was clear that Hong Kong did not want to sell to them, so the hospital did not have high hopes.
As a result, they not only brought back the machines, but also two batches. Although one batch was very old, they didn't feel bad about dismantling the old ones, so they didn't regret it at all. Besides, these things were cheap.
Zhao Shuyi surprised them even more, because they said it was free.
Judging from Zhao Shuyi's words, it was stolen from those gangs.
Bah! How can you call something a scholar does robbery?
In short, Zhao Shuyi brought them a relatively advanced CT scanner from Hong Kong, as well as an electron microscope and ultrasound equipment, all for free. This was definitely a major advancement in the history of Chinese medicine and directly established Zhao Shuyi's position at the Beijing Military Region Hospital.
Although many people did not know how Zhao Shuyi and his team managed to buy those items, they all knew that Zhao Shuyi was the biggest contributor to this trip.
As a result, Zhao Shuyi and Gu Yan were granted another month's leave, allowing them to leisurely return to Chuncheng to process their transfers.
The leaders had no doubts about Xu Wanqing's situation. After inquiring about the details, they simply told the two of them to keep it a secret and didn't say anything more before taking Xu Wanqing away.
According to Gu Yan, Xu Wanqing is definitely not going to get out, so she will no longer affect their lives.
Getting rid of Xu Wanqing is like eliminating a major threat to Zhao Shuyi.
Actually, if it weren't for the incident with the enemy agent, Zhao Shuyi really didn't want things to escalate to this point. However, it seemed that her relationship with Xu Wanqing was one of life and death, so Zhao Shuyi could only protect herself.
Because the two were considered heroes, when they returned to Kunming, they still bought sleeper berths without any financial burden.
The family of four shared a train carriage, and the time didn't pass too easily.
Parents have been neglecting their two little ones lately, so this is a good opportunity to spend some quality time with them.
However, when they returned to Chuncheng, Zhang Yue and the others felt as if the sky had fallen.
"You're being transferred again. At this rate, how are we supposed to keep up?"
Actually, Zhang Yue has been doing quite well during this time while Zhao Shuyi and the others have been away.
Although Zhang Yue didn't work as hard as before after returning to work during her pregnancy because she almost had a miscarriage due to her previous work experience, she was still very serious about her work because she genuinely loved it.
Then, she usually takes care of the child, plays with Xia Mulan, and they also contact Li Qian from time to time. In fact, her life is very fulfilling.
When Zhao Shuyi returned, she was surprised to realize that she still missed Zhao Shuyi quite a bit.
When Zhang Yue learned that she was being transferred, she was extremely sad. Not only her, but even Xia Mulan, who had not shown much emotion since her leg recovered, showed deep reluctance to part with Zhao Shuyi and the others.
However, they will not be able to go to Beijing with Zhao Shuyi and the others for the time being.
Zhao Shuyi could only say, "We will meet again someday, just like Jiawen and I."
"Let's all keep working hard, and I believe everything will be alright."
She phrased it subtly, but everyone understood.
Zhao Shuyi had said before that their current situation could not continue indefinitely.
In fact, they had already noticed something was wrong recently. Because the Spring City Committee had replaced a large number of people, there were fewer people wearing red armbands on the streets now. Even if there were people wearing red armbands doing some activities, they were no longer as arrogant as before.
The environment in Kunming is actually quite good. Thinking of this, they were more worried about Zhao Shuyi and the others' situation in Beijing, where the situation was much more complicated.
However, once they learned what Zhao Shuyi had done on her trip to Beijing, they were no longer worried about her at all.
Zhao Shuyi is so capable! She actually managed to buy equipment for the hospital in Hong Kong, and even managed to buy it at a low price. That sounds like a really impressive thing.
Even Director Kong and the others found out and came to Zhao Shuyi one after another. They wanted to know that the hospitals in Beijing were developing so that they could soon benefit from it.
"I knew you wouldn't stay in our hospital for long, but I never expected it to be so short. I thought you'd stay for at least ten or eight years. To be honest, I'm starting to regret it. Why did I push you to that guy surnamed Cao?"
Although Director Kong said that, he didn't actually feel too sorry for Zhao Shuyi, because he knew what the better path was for her.
Beijing has the best resources, so it's the right choice for Zhao Shuyi, Gu Yan, or even their children to go there.
As Zhao Shuyi and her group packed their things, many people came to say goodbye, and among them, Gu Zhao was the one they were most reluctant to part with.
"I never expected that you would leave so soon after I arrived."
Although Gu Zhao was reluctant to part with them, he did not insist that Gu Yan and the other person stay. He knew what was best for Gu Yan's development, and of course he respected Gu Yan's wishes.
However, to Zhao Shuyi's surprise, Gu Zhao acted quickly and had already gotten Lin Yu to accept him, and the two of them already had a child.
These days, people fall in love as fast as they can on a rocket.
Zhao Shuyi left some sugar pills for the other party so that Lin Yu's health would improve, and the other party was very grateful.
During this time, they also went to Zhuyao Village to bring her some things that her mother had asked them to take there.
There was quite a lot of stuff, enough for two large sacks. If it weren't for the concern that Zhao Shuyi and her group wouldn't be able to carry it all, they probably would have asked them to bring even more.
Seeing so many things, Zhu Yao looked somewhat dazed.
When Zhao Shuyi told Zhu Yao that they were being transferred back to Beijing, Zhu Yao was extremely reluctant to part with them and asked her family to prepare a lot of things for Zhao Shuyi.
Every time the two of them went to their house, it was like they were begging for money, which made Zhao Shuyi both amused and exasperated.
On the other hand, Zhao Shuyi was also very moved. She had made many friends in Kunming. Although these friends may not have been life-and-death comrades, they had brought her a lot of joy and warmth.
When it was time to leave Kunming, Zhao Shuyi was still very reluctant: "This place is really beautiful, I feel like I haven't stayed long enough."
Gu Yan said, "We can come back anytime, when the era you mentioned arrives."
Zhao Shuyi laughed and said, "It definitely won't be long. Soon our country will be able to develop, and people will be able to go wherever they want to go without restrictions."
They packed their things and officially boarded the train to Beijing. After this trip, they didn't know when they would return to Kunming.
After returning to Beijing, the two spent a week settling in before starting work.
Zhao Shuyi is already considered an experienced doctor, and her work at the hospital is gradually getting on track.
Gu Yan would occasionally take on dangerous missions, and would often return injured.
Every time, Zhao Shuyi would get angry and keep him at home, not letting him go out. But this person would always shamelessly stay in the space and follow Zhao Shuyi.
Even if Zhao Shuyi gets angry, he'll still dare to do it next time.
In truth, he was already feeling quite confident, carrying some life-saving items given to him by Zhao Shuyi, and he felt he should shoulder more responsibility.
Zhao Shuyi didn't even know whether letting him know about the spiritual spring water was good or bad.
But this was obviously a good thing for the organization. Gu Yan made many contributions one after another, and in the early 1970s he was promoted to regimental commander, which also gave Zhao Shuyi more security in the tense situation.
Gradually, Zhao Shuyi got used to it. Since he wanted to do whatever he wanted, she let him do it.
He did it all for the collective good; he is great, and I should support him.
As she had said before, Zhao Shuyi would keep in frequent contact with Chuncheng, sending letters and items every two months.
Because they are still mindful of the current situation, they don't write too much in their letters. They just write a very simple account, such as what they ate recently and how delicious it was, so that no one can find any fault with them.
Even these are not many, but Cai Xiaoliang's letters are increasing.
But he kept repeating the same few words: he missed his uncle and aunt, his younger brother and sister, and he would work hard to become a soldier like his uncle, protecting the country, the people, his family, and his younger brother and sister.
He speaks in a monotonous, repetitive manner, sounding more righteous than anyone else, and even if he's investigated, he'll still be praised.
Therefore, Zhao Shuyi always wrote back to him very carefully, and she and Gu Yan would often make some toys to send to each other.
Even though they were separated, their feelings for Chuncheng remained unchanged.
Time flies, and the years that I thought would be hard to get through seem to have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's already the end of the 1970s.
With the resumption of the college entrance examination and the country's reform and opening up policy, the surrounding environment seemed to change overnight. Even the air became fresher, and everyone seemed to have regained their energy and spirit.
Many things have happened in the past few years.
With her medical skills, Zhao Shuyi has become a pillar of the military hospital, and many people from other places come to Beijing to seek her treatment.
She diligently studied and combined her knowledge from later generations to develop many effective pills and ointments for health, which were genuinely free of spiritual spring water, thus advancing the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
She was very busy, and Gu Yan was also very busy.
After Gu Yan was promoted to regimental commander for earning a first-class merit, he continued to rush to the front lines of various missions.
The couple were so busy that they didn't even have time to take care of their child, so they left the child at Qiu Jiawen's house for a while.
The Qiu family adored the two children.
Unfortunately, the child's maternal grandparents completed a major research project last year and returned home. With their maternal grandparents by their side, the Qiu family had no choice but to send the child back.
However, the two families have this friendship and stay in close contact, so it is very convenient for them to see the children.
Later, Xia Mulan also came to Beijing.
After Zhao's parents continued their research, Xia Mulan continued to help several families take care of their children. In the end, the Qiu family also sent their little one to play with the other children.
The children are now several years old and run around wildly in the military family compound; only Xia Mulan can keep them in check.
With the reform and opening up, which allowed private individuals to engage in business, Zhao Shuyi's mind started to wander.
Of course, she herself will probably spend her whole life in the hospital and won't be able to do any business outside, but her friends can.
She gave feedback to everyone.
Xia Mulan could open a daycare center. Although the other party doesn't have children of their own, they clearly love children very much. They are busy taking care of several children every day, but they are very happy.
Since you love children so much, why not open a place similar to an early childhood education center and stay ahead of the times?
Zhao Shuyi only mentioned it to the other party, and the other party went to find out about it on their own.
Li Qian, of course, was in charge of cooking.
At Zhao Shuyi's urging, she kept the family's old remedy, which is proving useful now.
And then there's Gu Zhao, who's still staying in Chuncheng. Before Zhao Shuyi even had a chance to tell him how to make those snacks, he's already started a stall himself, and it's said to be quite profitable.
Over the past few years, Gu Honggang and his wife have gone to Kunming more than once, trying to get their youngest son to come home. However, their son has long since lost touch with them, and his child has even taken the surname Lin. This has greatly angered the elderly couple.
In the end, Gu Zhao had no intention of leaving Chuncheng. Gu Honggang even came to see Gu Yan. The small account was no longer working, so he wanted to find the big account. It's estimated that he couldn't generate any more small accounts. As a result, he was sent back by the old man.
Now that Grandpa Gu has retired, he spends his time at home playing with birds and spending time with his great-grandchildren, living a very happy life.
Gu Honggang insisted on provoking him, and he only got himself beaten up.
In addition, there was Zhang Yue, for whom Zhao Shuyi also suggested a path.
The other person loved creating, but her thinking was limited by the times. Zhao Shuyi suggested that she bring her works to the screen. As a result, she earned a lot of copyright fees and became the first among them to get rich. Later, she even became a well-known screenwriter.
Oh, and Zheng Jingcheng and Zhu Yi, who originally missed each other, ended up together by chance.
Zheng Jingcheng completed his secret mission, and Zhu Yi happened to be his partner in the mission. The two went through life and death together and finally felt that the other was the right person for them. They made a promise that if they could come back alive, they would be together.
The two are now married and live a simple and warm life.
No one mentioned Xu Wanqing again, who had appeared in their lives and disgusted almost everyone.
When Zhao Shuyi came home from get off work that day, she heard Gu Yan tell her, "Xu Wanqing is dead."
Zhao Shuyi was shocked. "What happened? What did she do?"
Logically, being under the organization's supervision, one shouldn't easily lose their life.
As they expected, Xu Wanqing confessed that she was a reincarnation after she was arrested.
She revealed many things that would happen in the future, and the organization took it seriously, so she naturally faced all sorts of interrogations.
Finally, she probably realized that even if she told everyone, she would never be released again, and if she didn't speak up, she might face hunger or pain; in short, she wouldn't have an easy time.
So she lived in constant fear, often resenting the injustice of fate that gave her a second chance at life but not good fortune. She was filled with resentment and jealousy of those who lived well, like Zhao Shuyi.
Because she was thinking about these things all day long, her mental state deteriorated, and she eventually couldn't take it anymore and passed away.
Zhao Shuyi didn't kick him while he was down, but only said, "It can only be said that cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable."
Xu Wanqing's current situation is entirely of her own making; she has no one to blame but herself.
It's unclear whether it was Xu Wanqing's death that caused the last trace of resentment from the original owner of Zhao Shuyi's body to dissipate.
That night, Zhao Shuyi dreamed of the original body, the one whose life had been switched with hers.
Since going to the Northwest, the other party has never left that land.
She endured a lot of hardship in that place, but she was resilient and actively solved problems when she encountered difficulties. Eventually, she settled down there, met the person she loved, got married, had children, and lived a peaceful and happy life.
"That's wonderful," Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but exclaim.
When Gu Yan heard Zhao Shuyi's voice, he thought she was having a nightmare, so he quickly sat up to look at her. But when he saw the smile on her lips, he gently hugged Zhao Shuyi and fell asleep again.
"yes."
"That's great."
