Chapter 45: The Chinese Woman Who Wants to Be Strong All Her Life
"No, this remote place..." Luo Jiu sighed and decided to tell her the truth.
They come from the future and have relatives in the future. Once the conditions for upgrading are met, they will return to the future.
After hearing this tortuous and bizarre story, Datian felt as if the sky had fallen. Although they had only been together for a few months, she had already developed deep feelings with the four people.
They were the ones who taught her everything, they were the ones who brought everything and changed everything.
To all primitive people, the four were torches in the darkness, leading them from the eternal night to dawn.
How can I leave?
Datian had never cried before, but at this moment her tears rolled down.
She sat limply on the ground, grabbing Luo Jiu's clothes, crying and begging: "Don't go, I don't want you to leave.
Is it because I have learned a lot that you can go back without any worries? Did you teach me just to leave me?
I regret it. I want to go back to the time when I knew nothing. I want to go back to Dragon Bone Mountain. I want to still live in that cave so that I can see you every day.
I don’t want to drive anymore, I don’t want to live in a house anymore, I don’t want to drink milk tea anymore, I just want you to stay forever…”
Luo Jiu listened to Datian's heart-wrenching cry and tears fell involuntarily.
She squatted down and gently hugged Datian, patting her back tenderly, "Be obedient, you are going to be the leader, don't say such childish words.
I know you can't bear to leave us, and we can't bear to leave you either. Even if we go back, we will always think of you."
As Luo Jiu spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Datian's tears.
She held Datian's hand and told her firmly, "You are the wisest and bravest person I have ever met here. I believe that only you can shoulder the responsibility of building China into the world's number one power.
I know this is a heavy burden. Maybe this responsibility will often make you feel tired and may make you miss Longgu Mountain, because at that time you were just a carefree girl who didn’t need to wear clothes and ran around in the mountains all day.
But I tell you, you have to shoulder this burden, because falling behind will lead to being beaten. In our world, many tragedies have happened that you cannot imagine.
Because of our backwardness, we were bullied by other countries. They arbitrarily divided our land, brutally slaughtered our compatriots, and rushed into our treasury to rob us of our things.
You don’t know how many martyrs sacrificed their lives, how many battles were fought, and how many people died to bring us a peaceful era.
The painful lessons we experienced in that time and space made me decide to change this time and space, change your destiny, and change the destiny of all Chinese people.
We must be strong, and we must always be strong. We will never allow anyone at any time to treat our country as a land to be trampled on at will, or to slaughter our people like prey.
You can cry and be fragile today, but you must cheer up tomorrow because you are the commander, you are the leader.
You are going to be the most powerful woman in the world because you are going to lead the most powerful country in the world.
You want the barbarians from all corners of the world to submit to you, obey your orders, submit to you and never betray you.
Chinese women who are strong all their lives cannot lose. I believe you can do it, don’t let me down, okay? "
Luo Jiu stuffed the handkerchief into Datian's hand, stood up and left the bridal chamber.
She knew that Datian was watching her from behind, but she couldn't look back because one day she would leave forever.
Luo Jiu returned to the tent. Cheng Yaoyao looked at her red eyes and understood, "Did you tell her?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it all at once."
Luo Jiu sighed, "Take your time. Fortunately, we don't have to leave right away. If she really can't accept it, then... let's talk about it later. I hope God blesses China. I'm afraid there is no one more suitable than her."
The next day, there was a celebration meeting.
The night before, Luo Jiu had asked Datian to bring people to set up the podium. There were two tables and four chairs on the podium, and fifty-six stools under the podium.
At first glance, it looks like a school sports meet.
Feng Qi dragged the speaker over early and played the athletes' march.
Cheng Yaoyao had fifty-six boxes moved to the side of the rostrum and hung the papers with the hundred family names on a display board nearby. Everything was ready.
To the classic BGM of "thump thump thump, thump thump thump", the four people took their seats on the rostrum one after another.
All fifty-six people in the audience were present, their eyes wide open and their necks stretched, full of curiosity about what was about to happen.
The red flag fluttered in the wind. Zhong Jialing, who had taken a junior hosting class, turned on the loudspeaker and began to host this ancient celebration meeting.
"Dear... mothers, dear... children, I declare that the first celebration meeting has officially begun."
The four of them took the lead in applauding, and there was warm applause from the audience.
Zhong Jialing: "First, let's invite Second Mother to give an important speech. Please welcome her with applause!"
Luo Jiu took over the loudspeaker, affirmed the hard work of the comrades during this period, talked about the work priorities for the next stage, looked forward to a bright future, and finally told everyone that after a period of hardship, there will be a lifetime of sweetness, and they will definitely lead everyone to live a good life.
Amidst thunderous applause, the ceremony began with general commendation.
In order to make everyone feel proud, the four people called out names and distributed gift packages one by one.
Luo Jiu first said: "The first person to be commended is Comrade Datian. Comrade Datian studied hard and quickly mastered many skills such as speaking and writing, driving, weaving, printing, and kiln firing.
He is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and is enthusiastic about helping other comrades. He always thinks of the collective and practices the twenty-character basic moral code of citizens with practical actions. He is our most outstanding comrade. Applause welcomes Comrade Datian to the stage to receive the award. "
Datian walked onto the stage with firm steps. Apart from his red and swollen eyes, he looked in good spirits.
She took the carton from Luo Jiu and said, "Thank you, Second Mother. I will continue to work hard."
Luo Jiu patted her shoulder, looked at the envious eyes of others in the audience, and reminded everyone, "I believe that someone must be thinking, then I don't have a name, does that mean I won't get a prize today? I tell you, today each of you has to choose a name.
There are more than a hundred surnames on the painting of Hundred Family Surnames behind me. You can choose any surname from them on a first-come, first-served basis.
Then choose one or two characters as your name.
When we call your name, please tell us the name you think of, and we will record it in the book, and then write your name on your prizes and clothes with a marker.
From now on, this is your name.
You will have fifty-six different surnames, but you must remember that although you have different surnames, you have the same name - Chinese.
You are still parents, brothers, and sisters, with fifty-six surnames, and you are still a family.
From now on, newborn children will take their mother’s surname and pass it down from generation to generation.”
Luo Jiu said as he looked at Datian, "You only have a first name, but no last name. What do you want your last name to be?"
Datian glanced at the Hundred Family Surnames and said, "I want the surname Zhao, which ranks first. I must always remind myself to always strive to be number one."
Cheng Yaoyao neatly wrote three words on the household registration book, "Zhao Datian."
Luo Jiu also wrote these three words on her suitcase and the back of her clothes to make it easier for everyone to recognize them, but at first glance it looked like he was going to tear off the name tags.
Comrade Hippo was very nervous at this time. He had not learned the language and characters very well. He scanned the Hundred Family Surnames several times. For some characters, he had to rely on pinyin to read them.
Fortunately, he was smart enough to choose a simple name for himself. He had it, so he would call himself Wang Yi. He could write and pronounce both characters.
At this time, the dwarf who built the wall was commended. Luo Jiu called him to the stage and asked him what he wanted to be called. The dwarf happily replied, "Wang Yi."
There were several wails from the audience. Well, everyone thought the same thing.
