Chapter 44 End of the text
Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng moved to Sangyu Village. They built another house by themselves, planted flowers and grass in front of and behind the house, opened up a few acres of farmland, planted some rice and wheat, raised chickens and ducks, and were self-sufficient in meat and eggs. They went out once every two weeks to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and daily necessities, and lived a paradise on earth in this forgotten little village.
When the kids are tired from work, their favorite thing to do is to come to Sangyu Village, spend a few days in a peaceful life, eat some delicious meals, release the negative emotions brought by work, and then go back to work happily.
During the years of seclusion, Jiang Zhen had plenty of time to help Qi Shanhai find his two children, reunite their family and fulfill the promise his mother made to him.
Li Chongling quit his job and came here. He said, "I've been in the sun, but I can't get tanned. I grow a beard every day, which is very uncomfortable." After washing off the powder on his face, he revealed his youthful and energetic face. He showed it to Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng and said, "Look how thick my powder is. You should just move in."
These few years were the happiest time for Gu Liancheng. He and Jiang Zhen lived in a world of two. They went out early and came back late every day to plant crops, raise poultry, and lived a life of farming and weaving.
On rainy days, we sit under the eaves, watch the rain hit the banana leaves, drink tea and make cakes. With more people around, the atmosphere changes.
Gu Liancheng asked: "Don't you have anywhere else to go?"
Li Chongling knew that Gu Liancheng was jealous, so he quickly showed off his advantages: "I can help with the farming, and it won't interfere with your world of two."
Jiang Zhen had no objection. He could stay if he wanted to. There would be more people here and they could talk to each other.
1974 arrived quickly, and Jiang Zhen could feel that the energy field was in Sangyu Village. She said to Gu Liancheng: "I was still thinking about how to find the energy field, but now it seems that the energy field is actively looking for us."
Several children came back early. No one mentioned the separation and they spent a few days happily together until a mirage appeared. In the mirage was a long corridor that seemed to have no end. Everyone saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked very similar to Jiang Zhen, flash by in the mirage. That was Jiang Zhen's mother, Jiang Maiya.
The mirage could not last long. Preparations for leaving had already been made. The children had grown up and Jiang Zhao had started a family and a career. However, these secrets were still only known to a few of them.
Jiang Zhen was filled with sadness about the departure, but he still tried to persuade his grown-up children: "Don't be sad, we are just going to live in another place. Jiang Zhao, you take your brothers and sisters and go first. Don't watch us leave."
Gu Liancheng was much sadder than Jiang Zhen. He hugged the children one by one and told them over and over again to be well.
Li Chongling couldn't wait to leave, but he really couldn't bear to leave Jiang Tang, because she was his daughter.
He promised: "Dad has been waiting for this moment for a long time. Don't be sad, be happy for Dad. Whether I can see you or not, Dad will not regret it because I have tried my best."
…
Jiang Zhen, Gu Liancheng and Li Chongling walked into the mirage one after another. Looking back, 1974 had disappeared. Jiang Zhen was reluctant to leave, but everyone has his or her own future. They could no longer stay in 1974, so they could only move on.
The corridor was very long. Jiang Zhen said to them, "This is different from the mirage I came from. It should be a place like a transfer station. Let's go forward and look for it."
Gu Liancheng and Li Chongling are about to meet their mother-in-law. They are quite nervous at the thought of finding out the reason for everything right away.
Jiang Mai Ya was waiting for them in front of a closed door. When she saw several people coming, she smiled and said, "The number is the same as I expected."
Jiang Maiya still looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she probably wouldn't change her appearance in the future. Jiang Zhen had previously speculated that she and her sister might just be born in another way of reproduction, so this question must be clarified: "Are you really my mother?"
Looking at her daughter who is older than herself, this feeling is really indescribable. Jiang Mai Ya rarely feels worried about her appearance not changing, but she does at this moment.
She nodded. "I'm your mother. I know you have a lot of questions. Let me tell you. The timelines I've been through are all the timelines of this world, but I came from a very long time in the future. That future wasn't good. But my father developed a program for my brother and me and modified our genes. Every 25 years, we can choose a time point to live in."
Jiang Zhen was relieved. She was not a product of an experiment. She couldn't help but ask, "What about my father? When was he born? Is he still alive?"
Speaking of that one and only relationship, Jiang Maiya was a little sad: "I met him in 1921. He sacrificed his life for the revolutionary cause. In fact, I still cannot understand the beliefs of him and his companions, but I respect his choice. For me, life is very long. Perhaps such an ending is the most suitable arrangement of fate for me and him. The choice of where to live was calculated by my brother. He said that this way can protect all family members to the greatest extent."
Li Chongling's mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse with nervousness: "Then I want to ask, do you have a way for me to see Jiang Zhen's sister again?"
Jiang Mai Ya looked at him. He had a silly air, which was a very valuable quality.
She said, "I made a bet with my brother. I said you would come, but he didn't believe me. Now that you are here, I can't let you down. In the timeline I am going to now, as long as I have the genes, I can replicate a biological and mechanical fusion body. With this memory ball, Sister Jiang Zhen will be back."
Jiang Zhen quickly handed him his sister's memory ball and the remaining box of memory balls, and said, "These are what Wu Shouye saved over the years. I think he must have kept them for someone he thought was particularly important. Mom, I'll give them all to you."
Jiang Maiya nodded. The memory ball was in her hand for only a moment and then disappeared. It seemed that she also had a place similar to space.
Jiang Maiya asked Li Chongling again: "Your current body will be the weakest in the past, just like a three-year-old child who comes to a world full of special forces. You may feel inferior and unable to adapt. Do you still want to go? Alternatively, you can also choose a time point, but that time point cannot be a timeline you have been in."
Li Chongling knew how powerful Jiang Zhen and her mother were, so he had prepared himself mentally. In fact, he had made preparations, but he didn't know if it would be useful?
"People over there always need to eat, right? After I go over there, can I open a restaurant?"
He opened his bag, which contained very few daily necessities, mostly various seeds. He continued, "Over the years, I have experimented with many crops in Jiang Zhen's space. In the world you are going to, if I open a restaurant, sell vegetables, or cook, can I support myself?"
Jiang Maiya showed a little shock. Since he had already planned out the way to survive, maybe he could lead everyone on a completely different path?
Jiang Mai Ya smiled and said, "Your things should make a lot of money, and many people will be interested in them. However, with us here, you don't have to worry about safety."
…
Now we have to consider where Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng will go. Gu Liancheng can go wherever Jiang Zhen wishes.
Jiang Maiya asked Jiang Zhen: "Do you want to go to your mother's world? You can see your uncle there."
My mother and uncle are very strong people both physically and mentally. Having her is just icing on the cake for them, and not having her will not cause much trouble to their lives.
So Jiang Zhen wants to go to a world that is completely her dream. She is looking forward to it: "I want to go to a timeline that is best for me."
Jiang Mai Ya said, "Everyone has a different feeling about 'the best time'. Wu Hui'e wants to go back to her childhood when she was protected by her brother. She thinks that was the best time. I want to go back to when my father was still alive. For me, no time can compare to the days I spent with my father and brother. As for Li Chongling, he would rather go to an unknown time just to meet your sister again. He thinks that is the best time. You two must think it through."
Gu Liancheng thought very clearly that as long as Jiang Zhen was there, it was the best time.
Although Jiang Zhen is not clear about the distant future, she still has some understanding of the future of the next few decades. She said: "I want to go to an era of relative freedom, abundant materials, colorful life, and a strong country."
Jiang Mai Ya thought for a moment and said, "You can go to 2024. Until you grow old, the country will still be a giant that the whole world fears. You should like that prosperous era."
Gu Liancheng was very satisfied with the time. He looked at Jiang Zhen with anticipation: "The children are all in good physical condition. They should still be here in fifty years, right?"
Jiang Zhen is very confident about the children: "Whether they are here or not, they will live their lives according to their own wishes."
Jiang Mai Ya had a box appear out of nowhere in his hand and handed it to them: "This contains your identification documents. Now, go to your new world."
Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng, holding hands, waved goodbye to Jiang Maila and Li Chongling. The open door in front of them was pitch black inside, but Jiang Zhen knew that as long as they walked through it, a brand new future would be waiting for them.
