"We met twice. It was winter, but the brother and sister were wearing very thin clothes..."
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan listened carefully to Gu Jianing's story.
As soon as they heard it, they frowned.
They sent money home.
But why do two children need to go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs and exchange them for food to survive the winter?
They know how cold it is in the northwest in winter.
But the two children were thinly dressed.
So where did the money they sent go?
Also, Grandma Qin actually had tuberculosis!
Qin Zhihong's heart sank.
That was his mother. He knew that he was being unfilial by leaving home for eight years without returning or receiving any news from her.
However, you cannot have both great love and small love.
He also hopes that the project at hand will be completed as soon as possible so that he can return home in glory and bring honor to his mother.
But, if something happened to my mother, then, then...
Qin Zhihong's tears also flowed down, and his heart was full of guilt.
It was not until Gu Jianing said that she had visited Grandma Qin and personally cured her tuberculosis that the couple felt better.
But when Gu Jianing later reported to Qin De that the staff of the United Post Office had falsely claimed the money they had sent back, the couple felt sad again.
Especially after hearing Gu Jianing say that Qin De was planning to sell Qin Tian, the couple's faces became even more sad.
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan never expected that the wages they sent back home on time every month for more than eight years had not reached their families.
How did that family, old and young, survive these eight years?
No wonder, no wonder Qin Tian and his sister had to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs in the middle of winter.
No wonder Grandma Qin had no money to treat her illness when she was sick.
"I am unfilial. I am not worthy of being a son, nor a father." Qin Zhihong was full of self-blame.
Du Lan also felt that she was not worthy of being a mother.
When she left, the brother and sister were so young, only 2 years old, and she abandoned them so cruelly.
"Doctor Gu, thank you, thank you." After reacting, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan stood up and bowed to Gu Jianing to express their gratitude.
They knew that if it weren't for Gu Jianing's help, they didn't know what would happen to their mother and two children when they returned.
Maybe my mother will die of tuberculosis.
Once the mother died and her son was sold, the remaining daughter probably wouldn't have a good ending either.
They thought, what if all their family members were gone?
So how much meaning is left of their persistence over the years?
Therefore, Gu Jianing is their benefactor.
Grandpa Sang never expected that he would bring two extremely talented young people from the institute who had just arrived from the Northeast to visit his home.
But I didn't expect that my granddaughter-in-law had such a connection with them.
This can also be considered a kind of fate.
In order not to worry Qin Zhihong and Du Lan, Gu Jianing also told them about the current situation of Qin Tian and the other two.
After learning that the money had been recovered and the person who had claimed the money for no reason had been arrested and sentenced, the Qin family's life improved.
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Doctor Gu, I heard that you are about to return to the Northwest Military Region. Can Ah Hong and I write a letter and ask you to bring it back for us?" Du Lan pleaded.
Although she and Qin Zhihong have come to Beijing now, they are also here to work on a project at the Beijing Weapons Research Institute.
As long as the project has no results, they will not be able to contact their families, let alone go back.
But the two believed that they would be able to return in half a year at most.
"Sure." It was just something that could be done easily, so Gu Jianing naturally wouldn't refuse.
I'm sure Qin Tian, Qin Qing, and Grandma Qin will be very happy when they receive the letter.
Therefore, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan did not leave the Sang family until they finished writing the letter, handed it to Gu Jianing, and explained it in detail for a long time.
"Ningning, when you return to the Northwest Military Region, please take care of the Qin family when you are free." Grandpa Sang instructed.
"Grandpa, I know."
Grandpa Sang was also very emotional about Qin Zhihong and Du Lan's family.
He asked Gu Jianing to take care of the Qin family because of the efforts of Qin Zhihong and Du Lan. Only he, as a fellow researcher, knew how difficult it was for Qin Zhihong and Du Lan. Of course, it was not easy for their families either.
Qin Zhihong and Du Lan are contributing to the country. Their families, as their support and the force for their perseverance, must be well taken care of.
Secondly, Qin Zhihong and Du Lan are young and talented, and this project will be led by this couple.
Once the project is completed, they will be treated well by their superiors.
The Qin couple has a bright future.
There are only benefits and no harm in Ningning making friends with them.
Gu Jianing put away the letter Du Lan gave her.
Just holding this letter, I feel a little emotional.
There is no doubt that Qin Zhihong and Du Lan are great people. However, in this life, without her help, Qin Tian's siblings and Grandma Qin who stayed in Qinjia Village would be just like what she saw in the flashing scenes of the future.
When Qin Zhihong and Du Lan returned home in glory, all they saw were three graves.
Gu Jianing didn't know how Qin Zhihong and Du Lan would feel at that time.
but……
Gu Jianing thought that if it were her, the word "sorrow" would probably not be enough to describe it.
Especially in this life, Gu Jianing attaches particular importance to family affection.
She found it hard to believe what would happen to her if something happened to her family in this life. She would probably go crazy.
“Maybe I’m still a rather selfish person.”
Selfishly, I just want to take good care of my own family and want my family to live well.
As for a greater contribution...
That must be done while ensuring that the family is safe.
She also doesn't think she is a great person. She thinks she can't make selfless contributions or sacrifice small love for greater love.
"Ningning, Xiaoxi called."
Just as Gu Jianing was thinking, Grandma Sang's voice came from outside, instantly interrupting her thoughts.
The call finally came!
Today, Gu Jianing has been waiting for Sheng Zexi's call.
"Hey, grandma, I'm here."
After putting the letter away, Gu Jianing left the room and quickly answered the phone.
Sheng Zexi's magnetic voice was also heard from the other end. Perhaps because he was running here and was a little anxious, his voice was still panting.
In such a quiet phone call, the panting sound was particularly clear and moving.
This made Gu Jianing think of those nights.
My ears couldn't help but feel hot.
"Ningning, do you have something to talk to me about?" Sheng Zexi asked on the other end of the phone.
After the training, he came back and heard from the communications office that Gu Jianing had called him twice and asked him to call her when he came back.
Sheng Zexi knew that something must have happened that made Gu Jianing look for him so anxiously.
This made Sheng Zexi a little worried.
So before entering the house, he immediately ran to the communications office and called Gu Jianing.
