The people in power today are no longer the same group who were sent to the countryside as educated youth when Xie Yuyao went there, but they all know about the development history of Qingshantun.
Everything changed during that special era when a young woman named Xie Yuyao, a sent-down youth, selflessly contributed her recipe for making candied fruit...
*
The elderly Zhao Laoda and Yang Chunhua returned to their roots in the village years ago, and the ancestral home of the Zhao family where they lived had long been rebuilt into a large villa.
The backyard of the educated youth settlement where Xie Yuyao once lived has been turned into a primary school.
That morning, Xie Yuyao and Zhao Honghui walked hand in hand past the school gate.
Listening to the loud voices reading aloud from inside, Xie Yuyao was reminded of the past: "If we hadn't gotten back together after that breakup, what would things be like now?"
“There are no ifs!” Zhao Honghui raised his clasped hands and kissed Xie Yuyao’s hand. “Even if we break up for a while, my heart will lead me to you and stay with you forever.”
"We've been married for so long, and you're still being so glib!"
Xie Yuyao laughed and scolded, then her waist tightened and she fell into a broad embrace.
She added with emotion, "The problem that time was about disagreements about where to settle our parents after we moved to the city. We later realized that it wasn't a problem at all. If it weren't for our parents helping us take care of the children, we wouldn't have been able to manage at all."
During Xie Yuyao's academic career, she gave birth to a son and a daughter.
During her first pregnancy, Zhao Honghui's mother, Yang Chunhua, left her hometown and came to Kyoto to take care of her. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to her postpartum care and childcare.
As for accommodation, their courtyard house is so big, with two side courtyards, that they don't need to buy separate houses to live in.
Because her parents-in-law took care of the child, Xie Yuyao and Zhao Honghui had no worries and could devote themselves to their ideals and careers.
Over the years, Xie Yuyao has come to regard them as her own parents.
As for her family, apart from her sister, with whom she maintains contact, she has lost touch with the others.
Her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and others, when she was unknown, were arrogant and disdainful of repairing their relationships. But after she became unattainable, they wanted to work in the pharmaceutical factory invested in by Xie Yuyao because they were laid off and needed to make a living.
The pharmaceutical factory they worked for couldn't keep up with the times and eventually went bankrupt after changing hands several times. The government then approached Xie Yuyao to attract investment and asked her to acquire it as a branch factory.
However, Xie Yuyao, mindful of the grudges and grievances within the original owner's family, did not want to invite trouble and become a sacrificial lamb.
These people, who were related by blood, wanted to use connections to get into high-level management positions, but she naturally refused.
Of course, she didn't exclude them from the recruitment list; she simply let them apply for the vacant positions themselves, and whether they succeeded depended entirely on their own abilities.
This pharmaceutical factory was one of her partner companies. She had given prior notice, and all the management knew that she had severed ties with her family, so they wouldn't make an exception for her by doing her a favor.
Upon hearing Xie Yuyao's words, Zhao Honghui immediately said, "Then let's stay here a little longer and spend some quality time with Mom and Dad."
"Okay!" Xie Yuyao smiled brightly at the rising sun.
The most important thing about traveling is not seeing the scenery, but the people you see the scenery with.
Having you in my life is truly wonderful!
