Just after the Spring Festival in 1984, the Sun family received great news in the delivery room of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Municipal People's Hospital: the eldest grandson of the fifth generation of the eldest son was born, and the whole family was overjoyed.
Jiang Yulan, who was resting in her hospital bed, felt very sweet as her husband showed her concern and took meticulous care of her.
Their child, the fruit of their love, was being held in Ning Xiaowei's arms, who was examining it carefully.
"Zhengguo, look at this child, he looks just like Shujie when he was a child!"
Sun Zhengguo smiled and then joked, "Yes, yes! Congratulations on becoming a grandmother."
"So what if I'm a grandma? I'm happy to be one. You're a grandpa now too. We're both in the same boat, so let's not make fun of each other."
Ning Xiaowei no longer cares about these things. When you get old, you have to accept it; after all, you can't deny getting old.
At this moment, 6-year-old Yueyue pouted, bit her finger, thought for a moment, and then said very seriously.
"Dad is talking nonsense. Mom is Mom, she's not Grandma."
"Yes, yes, Yueyue is right. Daddy doesn't understand. Are you satisfied now?"
Hearing her father admit his mistake, Yueyue clapped her hands and smiled happily.
However, when she saw the baby in her mother's arms, she couldn't help but seem thoughtful...
A few days later, Jiang Yulan was discharged from the hospital and recuperated at home, while Sun Shujie returned to work at the research institute.
Yes, you heard right. Now, not only does he work at the research institute, but his wife also works here.
Since both of them were graduate students, they were promoted to management positions immediately upon joining the organization.
Sun Shujie already had a solid foundation, and with so many experts willing to mentor him, it seems they were grooming him to be the next generation's successor.
...
In June of the same year, Sun Shukang, the second son of the Sun family, got married, and his wife was the granddaughter of Wu, the district head of Dongcheng District.
When it comes to his second son, Sun Zhengguo doesn't even know who he took after.
Sun Shukang graduated from Peking University with a major in economics and management. After graduation, he was assigned to the Dongcheng District Government, where he started from the grassroots level and later served as the secretary to District Chief Wu.
Who knew that last month, he brought a girl home, saying she was pregnant.
Upon hearing this news, Sun Zhengguo was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Fortunately, both parties were people of status, and his son was willing to take responsibility, so the marriage was ultimately a shotgun wedding.
But that wasn't all. On the day of the wedding, the third son, Sun Shusheng, came to the wedding dressed in a military uniform, saying that he had already enlisted in the army.
It's a joke that he, as the father, didn't even know his third son had joined the army.
Needless to say, no one but Ning Dazhuang could have done this.
Because his third son's academic performance was average, with only a high school education, but he was a good prospect for martial arts and had already entered the Ming Jin stage.
That's why Ning Dazhuang went to great lengths to recruit his good nephew into the army.
By the time Sun Zhengguo found out, the deed was done, and he couldn't object anymore! It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Time flies, and the new millennium has arrived in the blink of an eye. Over the years, Sun Zhengguo has produced a number of blueprints by relying on the system.
This includes warships, airplanes, satellites, radar, lithography machines, and so on. These are enough to change a country and make it a powerful nation.
However, despite his achievements in his career, his family could not escape the ravages of time.
As time went by, the older generation gradually passed away. First, my grandfather passed away peacefully in 2002, followed by my maternal grandfather, my paternal grandmother, and then others.
Faced with birth, aging, sickness, and death, Sun Zhengguo was powerless. He could only give the elderly a proper burial with a heavy heart.
But he firmly believed that they would meet again someday in the future, because that was the confidence the system gave him.
Time flies and it's now 2040. It's Ning Xiaowei's 100th birthday, and her children and grandchildren are coming from all directions to celebrate.
However, at this moment, she had already closed her eyes with a smile in her eyes inside the room.
With a heavy heart, Sun Zhengguo helped his wife of 80 years carefully tidy up her clothes.
Then, he dressed himself, lay quietly beside her, and said something that sounded somewhat resigned to his fate.
"System, enter the next world."
"Okay, host."
With a flash of white light, the system enveloped Sun Zhengguo's soul and departed from this world.
That noon, the whole country was in an uproar, and all kinds of news reports were broadcasting Sun Zhengguo's great achievements during his lifetime...
————————————
Inside a quaint, antique-style room.
When Sun Zhengguo opened his eyes again, he felt sore all over, and his brain felt like it had been hit with a hammer, making him cry out in pain.
"It hurts so much, where am I?"
"Senior brother, you're awake."
Hearing a gentle female voice, Sun Zhengguo endured the pain and looked in the direction of the voice. His expression froze for a moment, then instantly revealed a look of joy.
"Xiao Wei, aren't you...? Huh! How come you've gotten younger?"
"Xiao Wei?"
The girl looked visibly anxious. Could it be that the sword qi battle had caused her senior brother to injure his head?
She then explained, "Senior brother, I am your junior sister Ning Zhongze!"
"Ning Zhongze, who is Ning Zhongze?" Sun Zhengguo was completely baffled.
This is clearly my wife, how did she become Ning Zhongze?
Suddenly, a wave of unfamiliar memories flooded his mind, and Sun Zhengguo was instantly in excruciating pain.
After a stick of incense had burned, having received the memories, Sun Zhengguo looked at the girl again, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
"Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun, I am Yue Buqun..."
