Chapter 945: Never Leave, Never Abandon, Depend on Each Other Through Life and Death (End of the Full Text)
My name is Xiaoyouzi.
Because I was born in the season when grapefruits are ripe.
I have a gentle and virtuous mother and a great scientist father.
But my favorite person is grandma!
My grandmother was also an outstanding scientist, and everyone called her "Professor Jiang".
Occasionally, grandpa would call me that.
Whenever this happened, my grandmother would always reply, "Thank you, Professor."
Surprisingly, my grandfather is also a scientist!
I often hear my grandparents’ names in news reports, and their papers can be found in those incomprehensible scientific journals.
There are many reasons to like grandma.
First of all, my grandma is very beautiful and she loves cleanliness.
Every time I throw myself into my grandma’s arms, I can smell the scent of oranges.
I have seen photos of my grandmother when she was young. You can find them by searching on the Internet. She was more beautiful than any celebrity. It is said that my grandfather drank all the old vinegar in Sifangcheng back then.
Who doesn’t like beautiful women?
Anyway, I like it very much!
My mother said that I am a super-favorite.
I admit this!
Secondly, my grandma is very smart. No matter what she learns, she can learn it quickly!
She can play the most difficult version of the TYT board game, solve the asterisked puzzles in the exercise book, and make her own Luban locks, general's desks, and various modern building models entirely by hand.
Oh, by the way, no matter whether it is playing Huarong Dao, Monopoly, script killing, or escape room, grandma is always the MVP!
On the day of the Parent-Teacher Open Day, I took my grandma with me, and then... we won almost all the prizes, and made the fat boy sitting next to me cry.
My grandma also loves me very much. She said that I am her little sweetheart and just one look at me will make her feel sweet to her heart!
I think it must be because grandpa is too strict and doesn’t allow grandma to eat sweets, so grandma likes to hug me so much.
Because I am sweet and can satisfy your craving!
Besides my grandma, I also love my grandpa very much.
First of all, of course, it’s because grandpa is super handsome and cool, especially when he wears a suit, he looks like a domineering president from a TV drama, so stylish!
However, his handsomeness doesn't last for more than three seconds. He will come to his grandmother and act like a spoiled child, asking her to help him tie his tie or adjust his collar. Anyway, there are always so many reasons.
Whenever this happened, grandma would say she didn't want to, didn't want to, but her hands were very honest.
She would tie a beautiful knot, straighten it, and finally use her palms to smooth out any wrinkles.
"Okay, thank you, Professor."
"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Jiang."
The two smiled at each other.
In that instant, as a bystander, I seemed to be struck by happiness, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously rose.
It was then that I realized that not every couple in the world is as loving as my grandparents.
For example, Dad would never act like a spoiled child and ask Mom to help him tie his tie, and Mom would never give Dad that helpless yet doting look as if he were looking at a child.
If I had to describe it in one word it would be -
Treat each other with respect.
I was very confused for a long time after that. If it wasn't for love like my grandparents, then why get married?
Dad touched my head and sighed.
He said: There are many kinds of love, and not every kind is like your grandparents, with the same outstanding looks, equal IQ, and perfectly compatible souls.
I asked: What about you and your mother?
Dad curled his lips slightly: We met the right person at the right time, and gradually became compatible as we spent time together day after day and year after year.
I didn't understand, but nodded anyway.
Dad returned to the lab and continued working.
I think he loves his mother, loves me, and also loves the experimental equipment, analytical data and thesis reports.
If it is really as difficult as my father said, why are my aunt and uncle so loving as my grandparents?
Will I be able to find a boy in the future who can treat me like my grandfather treats my grandmother and my uncle treats my aunt?
But when I met my first love and broke up with her half a year later, I realized that "love" is not simple, and it is not as sweet and loving as my grandparents showed.
When I was a junior in college, I started dating my fourth boyfriend.
He is my father's student and a rising star in the physics world.
I hope he has the romance of a scientist, just like my grandfather would use holographic AI projection technology to give my grandmother a spaceship on their wedding anniversary.
Unfortunately, he portrayed the silence and dullness of scientists vividly, and the stereotype and stubbornness of straight men to perfection.
So, this relationship only lasted two months.
Even when he was talking about breaking up, he was so calm and rational, like a cold, emotionless machine.
At that moment, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was only one thought in my mind -
Fortunately, we split up!
Forcing unsuitable people together is just a waste of time.
It turns out that being “suitable” is so difficult.
In my senior year, I started dating a programmer boyfriend.
He is 1.8 meters tall, not very handsome, but not ugly either. He is one of the newly signed "Genius Plan" graduates of my brother-in-law's company, with a background in a prestigious university and outstanding abilities.
But this relationship only lasted for half a year.
The reason for the breakup was that he worked too much overtime and could never make an appointment every time I called.
When I said the word "break up", although I felt a little melancholy, I was not sad.
My aunt said: Silly girl, you have never been in love, so how can you be sad?
What is love?
I don’t understand, but I know I may never find someone who loves me as much as my grandpa loves my grandma.
Yes, grandpa loves grandma.
From childhood to adulthood, what I always saw was my grandfather coaxing my grandmother, spoiling her, giving in to her, and holding her in the palm of his hand like a treasure.
Of course grandma also loves grandpa, but I always feel that she doesn’t love him as much as grandpa.
until--
The year I graduated with my doctorate, the 3S virus broke out in Continent F. Because of its strong infectivity and high mortality rate, the infected people became stiff and convulsed, and had symptoms such as bloodthirstiness and eating raw meat, just like the zombies in the movies, so the disease was also called "zombie disease" by the locals!
China immediately dispatched a team of virology experts to Continent F, but two months later, the death toll has not decreased, the virus has not been effectively controlled, and is still infecting a large number of normal people.
My grandfather was ordered to take up the task and rush to the front line of the epidemic at the age of ninety.
On the day he left, his grandmother went to the airport to see him off. The two hugged each other goodbye, but they did not shed tears and always kept smiles on their faces.
"Professor Xie, you should come back soon."
"Yes, sir!"
However, this time my grandfather broke his promise. Because he was old and his immunity was weak, he worked intensively day and night. He was eventually infected with the virus and collapsed on the laboratory table, never to wake up again.
That night, my grandmother received a call. It took one minute and eight seconds from the time she answered the phone to the time she hung up. She only said one sentence the entire time: "Okay, I understand."
I saw tears in my grandmother's eyes, but they never fell.
The next day, grandma boarded a flight to Continent F.
Before leaving, she looked at my father and aunt with a smile, then patted my head and said, "Be well."
After leaving these four words, he went into the cabin without looking back.
Soon, the huge sound of the propeller turning was heard, and then it gradually faded away and disappeared, and could no longer be heard.
Three months later, the vaccine was born and the virus was completely conquered.
But along with the good news came the sad news of grandma's death.
There was no infection and no sudden death. On the night when the vaccine was successfully developed, she fell asleep with her grandfather's urn in her arms as usual, and stopped breathing in her sleep.
According to the medical staff who were present at the time, Professor Jiang passed away peacefully, with a rosy complexion, calm eyes and a faint smile on his lips.
I know that grandma must have felt sorry for grandpa being too lonely, so she went to accompany him.
The words "take care of yourself" before leaving were not a farewell, but... a last word!
She had known it a long time ago and had made the decision a long time ago.
At that moment, I knew I was totally wrong. Grandma loved Grandpa just as much as Grandpa loved her!
…
Half a month later, two urns draped with national flags were carried off the plane.
Outside the airport, countless people bid farewell with tears in their eyes.
In the end, the two urns were buried together in the national cemetery along with the bright national flag.
I knelt in front of the tombstones of my grandparents standing side by side, and seemed to see the figures of them sitting side by side on the swing in the garden outside the villa.
Rocking and swaying gently, grandpa and grandma smiled at each other in the sunset.
…
This is the story of my grandparents.
My name is Jiang Buli, and I have a twin brother named Xie Buqi.
All of them were named by my grandfather.
Thanks for listening.

After thinking about it for a long time, I found that it is not easy to write a side story for Nian Nian, so I wrote this side story from the perspective of Nian Nian’s daughter.
I originally wanted to write about a younger brother named Jiang, but I found that after such an ending, adding any other words would not be beautiful. This is the most perfect ending in my mind.
Many beautiful things come to an abrupt end.
This article ends here.
Thank you all for your company along the way, and see you in the next book.
