Both adults and children had already washed up. Since it was still early, they weren't in a hurry. Besides, Juede Restaurant wasn't far, so they decided to walk there slowly.
Walking along the bustling street, everyone watched as houses were repaired every so often. Seeing the rapid changes, they were all filled with emotion. Especially Wu Qiaoqiao, who stood on the newly repaired road. It was around 4 pm. Normally, after a whole day in the summer sun, walking on this kind of road would feel scorching hot in the afternoon. However, because the paving was done with a new material provided by Wu Qiaoqiao and her team, it wasn't hot at all; instead, it was cool and comfortable to walk on.
It's just that the country's current economic conditions aren't good enough, so this new material can't be widely adopted. Originally, Lin Yuwei wanted Wu Qiaoqiao to write a novel, but she wasn't really keen on it and planned to write intermittently. Seeing the current situation, she decided to take it seriously. She plans to save some of the money earned from the novel's publication into a savings account for her four children as a future startup fund, and donate the rest to the country for research and development.
Thinking of this, Wu Qiaoqiao walked over to Lin Yuwei's side. Because Lin Yuwei was pregnant, she walked rather slowly. Everyone had been accommodating her, but now that they saw Wu Qiaoqiao approaching, they all moved forward, knowing that the two of them must have something to discuss, so they didn't want to disturb them.
So Liu Mengmeng led Feng Mingran, while the Feng Mingan brothers, holding Liu Xiangjun and his sister's hands, and carrying Niu Niu, walked ahead. Of course, Zhao Xiuxiang walked with Liu Mengmeng, and the two of them were also chatting about some things from their hometown. Meanwhile, Feng Mingyue and Tan Jing went back to the place where Tan Jing and Grandpa Tan lived to pick up Grandpa Tan.
Lin Yuwei looked at Wu Qiaoqiao, who had walked up to her, and asked her with her eyes what was wrong. Wu Qiaoqiao then told her her plan: after the novel was published, she would keep 10% of the profits and donate the rest. When Lin Yuwei heard Wu Qiaoqiao say that she would only keep 10%, she looked surprised and asked Wu Qiaoqiao if she was keeping too little.
Wu Qiaoqiao said, "How could I have left too little? I suspect I might have left too much, after all, there are so many books."
Lin Yuwei nodded when she heard Wu Qiaoqiao say that. She was very happy about Wu Qiaoqiao's sudden idea, after all, it would be good to write those books as soon as possible.
After finishing their conversation, the two stopped talking and followed the others towards the Juede Restaurant they had chosen. Upon arrival, Old Master Tan was greeted by Tan Jing and Feng Mingyue. Zhao Xiuxiang and the others greeted him, and Old Master Tan beamed with joy at the sight of the young people. However, Old Master Tan didn't pressure Feng Mingyue and Tan Jing to get married early. In his view, as long as the young couple could live happily together, that was enough for him.
Feng Mingyue's family and Tan Jing's family have already discussed it and decided that Feng Mingyue and Tan Jing will get married after they graduate from university. After all, Grandpa Tan is getting old, and they want to get married as soon as possible so that Grandpa Tan can see his great-grandson sooner.
As for whether getting married and having children would be bad for their future development, that's not the case for Feng Mingyue and Tan Jing. Tan Xiang's breeding farm is getting bigger and bigger, and Feng Mingyue is also working with her sister-in-law.
After everyone arrived, they all went into Juedelou Restaurant. As for Feng Guoqiang, the patriarch of the Feng family, he was still visiting troops at the lower levels and was not home. Everyone had a lively meal, and four roast ducks were served. After eating, since there was no nightlife at that time, everyone slowly walked towards home.
On her way there, Wu Qiaoqiao had already spotted a traditional Chinese medicine shop. She went in and bought some herbs for a foot bath, which she brought home and used to boil water for Zhao Xiuxiang that very evening. After the foot bath, Zhao Xiuxiang lay down on the bed and slept soundly.
Zhao Xiuxiang woke up feeling refreshed the next day. She had been worried she wouldn't be able to get up and go out with them. Although she would be staying there and there would be plenty of opportunities to play, she still wanted to be with Wu Qiaoqiao and the child. After all, they had been separated for a while, and she didn't know when they would be together again.
Seeing that Zhao Xiuxiang was clearly tired, yet still insisted on climbing the Great Wall and seeing Tiananmen Square with them, Wu Qiaoqiao asked her why. After learning her thoughts, Wu Qiaoqiao comforted her, saying that with the country's development in the future, things will definitely become more and more convenient. Maybe in the future, if they want to meet, they can just take a plane or a train, which will be very fast. Maybe it won't even take a day, and they can meet in just a few hours.
When Zhao Xiuxiang heard Wu Qiaoqiao say that, she thought it made sense, so for the last two days she didn't stay with Wu Qiaoqiao and the children, but stayed home to rest.
Wu Qiaoqiao spent five days in Beijing with her four children. After five days, Wu Qiaoqiao, Feng Mingran, Feng Mingyue, and Tan Jing boarded the train with the four children. This time, in addition to food for the train, they also brought two suitcases of clothes, which Lin Yuwei had prepared for them.
It was another three days and two nights of excruciating train travel. When the train finally arrived at the station, the four adults and four children got off looking like spoiled, rotten pickled vegetables, their faces pale and ashen.
This almost broke Liu Mingfeng's heart, as he had been separated from his wife for most of his life since arriving in this world. So, without paying attention to others, he picked up Wu Qiaoqiao and carried her out of the train station. After being picked up by Liu Mingfeng, Wu Qiaoqiao looked at the surprised expressions of the people at the train station. You have to understand that in the 1970s, people's emotions were still very reserved. It was unheard of to hug someone like that in public unless they were feeling unwell.
