Chapter 267 Traveling back from the modern times to the Republic of China 22

On the balcony, the seeds in the two rows of flower pots scrambled to sprout tender little buds, densely filling the pots.

The sunlight passed through them, leaving a layer of light and dark on the wall. The breeze floated, and the layer of light and shadow turned into butterflies and cranes.

Finally, the setting sun fell, the light and shadow shattered, the butterflies and cranes disappeared, and only the person in front of her was still looking at her with a gentle and peaceful gaze, guiding her to find the direction in the dark.

Ye Heqihui held Yao Rong's hand, tightening it a little bit.

It was as if he was holding her coordinate origin in two worlds.

It turned out that the answer to the question that had troubled her for a long time was so simple and so natural.

It is impossible for a person to live in this world without leaving traces.

If you cannot find where you came from, then wherever your loved ones are, that is where you came from.

If you cannot find where you are going, then wherever your loved ones are, that is where you are going.

Yao Rong's eyes curved slightly, and he continued, "If you ask me, the protagonist really doesn't need to always worry about which world he is from, nor does he need to create a cognitive split because of a century-old gap in concepts."

"Just treat it all as an adventure, as a small oolong caused by fate."

"Or, treat it as a... the finger you told me about?"

Ye Heqi replied subconsciously, "It's a golden finger."

Yao Rong's expression was very exaggerated: "Yes, it's a golden finger."

"The adventure and gift that no one has ever received, only the protagonist has it, what does this prove?"

Ye Heqi's thoughts were in a mess, and he could only follow Yao Rong's train of thought and ask, "What does it prove?"

"This shows that the protagonist is God's daughter." Yao Rong said as a matter of course, "God arranged such a wonderful adventure for his daughter, and then he went to sleep peacefully."

"One day, God opened his eyes and wanted to see how his daughter was doing."

"It was looking at it, then it kept yelling 'ouch, ouch'. Do you know why it was yelling?"

Ye Heqi was amused by Yao Rong's description: "I don't know. Why was it yelling?" Yao

Rong patted Ye Heqi's head: "It's stupid."

Ye Heqi didn't follow Yao Rong's rhythm and was confused: "What?"

Yao Rong pointed at Ye Heqi and laughed: "God said that this cousin usually seems to be very smart, how come she suddenly got stuck on such details and became stupid?"

Ye Heqi Ye Heqi's eyes widened, realizing that she was being laughed at, but the next moment, she couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I am indeed a little stupid."

After joking enough, Yao Rong brought the topic back: "I know why you are stuck in this dead end. Because the future will definitely be better than the present. The future situation of the country and the people will definitely be a hundred times, or even a thousand times, better than the present, right?"

The strong self-confidence can almost overflow from Yao Rong's words.

After meeting Ye Heqi, many people will praise Ye Heqi for being a very confident person.

Ye Heqi never feels proud because of this compliment.

Because she knows where her self-confidence comes from. What

is truly precious is not her self-confidence.

They were the ones who, despite the uncertain future, were determined to sacrifice, to struggle, and to believe.

And now, her mother seemed to have become such a person.

Ye Heqi was surprised and said, "Mom, why are you so sure?"

Yao Rong pointed to the pile of history books on the desk and said, "During this time, I have been reading Chinese history with you. Then I found that our country has never lacked heroes."

"Open every page of history. Whenever there is troubled times, there will always be a group of brave people who stand up from the great crisis, protect the weak, and then lead the weak to stand up together."

"Like Editor-in-Chief Chen and Miss Zhou of Women's News."

"Like Editor-in-Chief Bei of Women's Times and Teacher Fan of the Girls' School."

"There are also many people who are willing to lend us a helping hand when we are in difficult situations."

"We are protected by people who are stronger than us. With their help, we stand up and gradually gain some strength."

"When we have power, we also start to protect those younger than us. Isn't that why we decided to open a garment factory, recruit female textile workers, and provide jobs for some women?"

"Such a nation may become weak and may fall into a shaky situation, but it will never be defeated."

"Because when many people want to kneel down, many people will stand up and use their abilities and even their lives to support the entire nation."

"I am the one who once knelt down and was then helped up by you all."

"So I know that in a hundred years, there will be enough times for countless of me to stand up and countless of me to support the entire nation."

"...There is a word that can describe these people my mother mentioned." Ye Heqi suddenly spoke softly.

Yao Rong asked, "What word?"

Ye Heqi said, "The backbone of the nation."

"This word is really well said." Yao Rong praised.

"When we are in a bad environment, we will definitely yearn for a beautiful, free, open and tolerant environment."

"That's understandable."

"But any beautiful environment is created by people. The beauty enjoyed by future generations is created by the previous generations through hard work." "

It is precisely because there is a strong sense of gap between the two worlds, and because we yearn for everything in the future more than everything in the present, that we should work harder to shape the present into what you see in the future."

Ye Heqi's mind moved slightly. For some reason, at this moment, she actually felt as if she was penetrated by Yao Rong's eyes.

It was as if her biggest secret—

the secret that had suffocated her many times and helped her through difficulties many times—had been revealed to her mother.

But strangely, when this thought came to her mind, Ye Heqi did not feel panic.

Instead, she felt relieved.

"...Can I do it?"

Yao Rong smiled and said, "Think about what you have done for me."

"You taught me to read, helped me get a divorce, pushed me to the position of a female role model, and gave me a sound personality."

"After perfecting my personality, you did not stop there. Instead, you proposed the concept of cheongsam, helped me find a career to make a living, and gave me the ability to live independently and live a wonderful life on my own."

"How far I can go proves how strong your ability is."

"Heqi, I am your most successful work. You can move forward without looking back, and never need to look back. Because I am by your side, your companion."

The last trace of hesitation in her heart seemed to disappear in this moment.

Ye Heqi took a deep breath and showed Yao Rong a brilliant and bright smile: "Mom, thank you, I have figured it all out."

From now on, she is Ye Heqi who was born in the Republic of China.

Ye Heqi's life is an adventure for her and a gift from God.

She is not God's biological daughter, but she must be a lucky person favored by God.

She is fortunate to see China a hundred years later, and she is fortunate to see the country rise and the nation become strong.

She knows that even without her existence, this country will become very beautiful in the future.

She does not have the ability to command all parties with a single call, and she temporarily lacks the courage to sacrifice her life and death like countless martyrs.

But this does not mean that she can't do anything.

Just like her mother said, she was once a person protected by heroes.

Now, she can also work hard to become a hero of the people and protect those who are weaker than her. She

strives for welfare and fights all her life for those people she doesn't know and has nothing to do with.

——It turns out that this is the meaning of her time travel.

***

That night, Ye Heqi slept very deeply, and then she had a long dream.

In the dream, she seemed to have returned to the modern era and saw the director of the orphanage, the doctors and nurses in the hospital, and the kind people who had rescued her... She even saw

the child she saved.

They were sad for her death.

But no matter how sad it is, life must go on, and no one's life will stop for her.

Ye Heqi gazed at the bustling metropolis, waved goodbye with a smile, then turned around without any nostalgia and ran across the long river of time that spanned a hundred years.

The years were long, but she didn't worry about getting lost.

Because in the long and vast coordinate system, there is only one coordinate origin.

She finally ran to the coordinate origin and held the hand of the person who would stay for her forever.

Then, Ye Heqi opened her eyes.

It was already bright outside.

She was sleeping next to her mother, holding her mother's sleeve in her hand.

Maybe she grabbed too hard, and the sleeve was full of wrinkles.

"Mom." Ye Heqi's voice was vague, with some sleepiness that had not yet dissipated, "I'm hungry."

Yao Rong was awakened by her and replied in a daze: "How about some soy milk and fried dough sticks?"

"Sure!" Ye Heqi instantly became energetic, "I want another big meat bun!"

After breakfast, Ye Heqi originally wanted to sit down and practice calligraphy, but Yao Rong asked her: "When are you going to start writing that novel?"

"Ah, what!?" Ye Heqi was confused.

"It's that "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie"."

Ye Heqi was sweating, she she she...

she didn't think about really writing this novel, she just used it to describe the confusion in her heart.

But looking at Yao Rong's expectant eyes, Ye Heqi didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Yao Rong seemed not to notice Ye Heqi's hesitation. He stood beside the desk and sorted out the scattered manuscripts: "I think this topic is very good. Anyone who lived in the Republic of China would definitely be curious about China a hundred years later. What kind of ideas will people have at that time? Will everyone be able to eat enough, will everyone be able to wear warm clothes, and will everyone be able to receive an education?"

Ye Heqi exclaimed in his heart.

It seems... it is not impossible to write this novel.

As long as you don't touch on topics that are too sensitive when writing, just simply describe the future social environment.

"I'll start thinking about it now!" Ye Heqi said happily.

Yao Rong also smiled: "You should think carefully and write slowly. Don't tire yourself out. School will start tomorrow, and students should still focus on their studies."
