Dead trees come back to life in spring, and flowers bloom.
After the battle, Ye Yulan didn't practice martial arts. Now that his daughter has achieved such success, he also wants to retire. Ye Yulan started learning to cook. Everyone used him as a guinea pig. After a year, his cooking skills have improved.
Gray smoke curled up. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Ye Yulan cooked Fang Hongzhi's favorite dishes, brought incense and paper money, and asked Xu Ning and Tang Xixu to go and pay tribute to Fang Hongzhi in advance.
Tang Xixu drew a circle on the ground, leaving a gap facing the direction where Fang Hongzhi was buried.
"Madam has brought her son-in-law to see you this year." Ye Yulan said while burning paper money, "This kid is okay, he treats his daughter very well..." Later Xu Lian and Yin Wumeng also came, and they chatted about many interesting things.
Xu Lian and Yin Wumeng held a wedding ceremony. After Xu Ning saw that things here were settled, she planned to return to the modern era. It was not easy for her grandmother to live alone.
Xu Ning and Ye Yulan discussed it and told Tang Xixu and Xu Lian.
Ye Yulan has always been worried about his old mother, but he is dead in that world and can't go back. Tang Xixu is worried and wants to go with her to see the world where his wife has lived for more than 20 years.
"Guangyu, I want to go back to the real world." Xu Ning called out for a long time before calling out the system.
[Due to your outstanding performance, the Space-Time Administration has issued a special reward, allowing you to bring your capture target to the modern world.]
Tang Xixu could now hear Guangyu's words. His brows arched, his eyes narrowed. "Target?" he glanced at Xu Ning with an ambiguous expression.
"Um...let me explain. This isn't the case..."
Tang Xixu walked towards Xu Ning step by step. Under a black shadow, a wild animal broke out of the cage under the man's black eyes.
There was a momentary stinging sensation on the neck, and a sticky, hot, and wet sensation.
Xu Ning screamed in surprise. Tang Xixu picked her up and carried her towards the bed.
"I don't know what a strategy is, so why don't you teach me in person right here on the bed?"
The lights flickered, the cold wind blew, and the refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms filled my nose.
As soon as the New Year was over, the two said goodbye to Ye Yulan and others, and specifically reminded them to take good care of their bodies during their sleep.
"I know, I know. Don't worry, I'll take care of things for you."
Ye Yulan lit the incense, and Xu Ning and Tang Xixu lay down side by side, their index fingers clasped together.
The incense was curling and the white smoke was lingering. The two of them felt their consciousness was confused, dizzy, and the world was upside down.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the room where Xu Ning appeared.
[Master, you don't need to thank me. I've already changed you into modern clothes.] Guangyu blew Xu Ning a kiss before leaving.
Tang Xixu looked at his own outfit and felt very curious.
Clothing was much more convenient than that of their time, and hair became neatly short.
Tang Xixu visited Xu Ning's room with curiosity. The room was covered with photos of Xu Ning participating in various competitions, as well as photos with friends. There was a card brick on the desk, and inside the card brick was a small card of an idol boy group.
Xu Ning looked around the room but didn't see his grandmother, so he returned to his room. Tang Xixu pointed at the person in the brick room, his face extremely dark, and asked coldly, "Who is this?"
Xu Ning walked over quickly, knocked down the brick, and then threw it back into the drawer out of concern.
"He's not even as good-looking as me, how could Ningning like him?"
"Whoever said I liked him, I'd throw him away right away." Fortunately, Xu Ning was poor to begin with, and didn't have the spare cash to buy small cards. She only had one or two, so throwing them away wasn't a big deal. Besides, with a top-notch guy like Tang Xixu by her side, how could she care less about anyone else?
Xu Ning showed Tang Xixu many things in this world, such as mobile phones, the Internet, and computers. Tang Xixu was a quick learner and soon understood these things.
In the afternoon, the sound of the door opening was heard.
The old lady in her eighties has gray hair, but is full of energy and spirit.
"Ningning, you're back?" The old lady didn't seem surprised at all, as if she had expected it.
Xu Ningfei threw herself into her grandmother's arms, tears welling up in her eyes: "Grandma!"
"Oh, little darling, don't cry, don't cry." The old lady wiped away the tears from the corners of Xu Ning's eyes.
Xu Ning said with a nasal tone: "Grandma, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, silly child. Azhi woke me in my dream last night. She said Ningning was coming back and bringing her boyfriend with her." The old lady looked at Tang Xixu, knowing what was going on.
"Did you know we were in another time and space?"
The old lady patted Xu Ning on the back and smiled faintly, "Of course I know. There are so many strange things in this world. I've lived for most of my life and have seen everything. I was thinking that when I die, I'll have the messenger from the Spacetime Administration take me there."
Tang Xixu was dumbfounded, not knowing what to think, and nodded: "Hello, grandma."
"Oh, okay." The old lady smiled from ear to ear.
Tang Xixu took the dish from her grandmother and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. The gas stove here was much more convenient than the ancient chimney. The grandmother and granddaughter chatted all the time. The old lady had a hard time the previous year, missing her granddaughter and she cried until one day during a lunar eclipse. Her daughter, who had died long ago, appeared in her dream and told her that Xu Ning was alive and well and might return in two years. She urged her to live and wait for Xu Ning. Sometimes she would dream about Xu Ning's life in that place, and for some reason she believed it, believing that Xu Ning was still alive and had indeed passed away in another time and space.
Tang Xixu prepared four dishes and a soup. The old lady tasted them one by one and gave Tang Xixu a look of approval.
Xu Ning and Tang Xixu decided to stay here and spend the old lady's final days with her. Xu Ning continued to work as a programmer at the company, while Tang Xixu followed the website and borrowed Xu Ning's books to educate himself on modern knowledge. After a year or two, when Xu Ning woke up to call the old lady for dinner, she was peacefully asleep and could not be awakened.
The old lady passed away of old age, and Xu Ning cried for a long time. After the seventh day after the funeral, Xu Ning called Guangyu to send them back.
Xu Ning woke up feeling lost, and her eyes were red when she opened them.
The aroma of delicious food wafted through her, and her stomach rumbled. She pushed the door open glumly, still reeling from the thought of her grandmother's death.
"Granddaughter, it's time to eat."
"Oh." Xu Ning raised her head quickly and met her grandmother's eyes.
My grandmother was younger at that time, only about sixty years old.
The old lady gently stroked the top of her granddaughter's head and smiled kindly: "I'll tell you, I'm here too."
Xu Ning looked at Tang Xixu: "Did you know this all along?"
Tang Xixu spread his hands and said, "Grandma didn't let me tell you. She said it was a surprise for you."
In the ninth year of Cheng'an, it was snowing during the Lantern Festival. Smoke rose from a remote valley. The men were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, while the women and children were playing and having fun.
The six-year-old daughter of Xu Lian and Yin Wumeng spent her days teasing the lavishly dressed young emperor. Pei Yuanchi's son played dice with Tang Xixu's son. Xie Taohua and Hua Xing's daughter, saved by a kindhearted soul, now served in the palace as a fourth-rank official.
The second year after returning, Xu Ning unexpectedly became pregnant. Tang Xixu wanted to have her abort the baby, as giving birth is a lifelong process for women, and he didn't want her to suffer. Xu Ning forced him to stop and give birth to the baby, resulting in twins, a boy and a girl. Later, Tang Xixu, no longer wanting Xu Ning to suffer, asked Qu Xiang for medicine, which prevented him from having children.
The brother is a disobedient person, and the sister follows Ye Yulan to practice martial arts every day and learn how to govern the country from Zhao Mingshang.
Zhao Mingchang took a sip of tea and said, "I just happen to be short of a female official. Why don't you let your daughter come?" Zhao Mingchang really thought so. Although she also had a daughter, she was too young, and she also wanted to experience what it was like to be a teacher.
Xu Ning: "My daughter told me yesterday that she wanted to go out and travel the world, but I don't think it's going to work out."
"It's time to eat!" Old Man Ye shouted.
Everyone gathered together to celebrate the first snow of the year.
