Grandma Ning never imagined that she, at her advanced age, would one day come to Beijing.
Everything in Beijing was unfamiliar to them, yet they also longed for it.
Grandma Ning, in particular, felt her eyes well up with tears when she saw the picture of the great man on Tiananmen Square. She exclaimed, "Oh my, I never thought that I, an old woman, would have such a day. Now I can die without regrets."
"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. I want to take you to other places in the future. You've never been on an airplane before, have you? I heard from my teacher that airplanes fly very fast and arrive at their destination in a flash."
"Really? It flies in the sky?"
Grandma Ning stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "This person can actually fly in the sky?"
"Of course it's possible. In the future, there will be people who will be able to go to the moon."
Ning Hong smiled and helped Grandma Ning up, stuffing the pastries she had just bought into her hands.
"Isn't that Chang'e? Chang'e lives on the moon."
A snicker came from the side, and the Ning siblings frowned as they looked at him.
"Where did this bumpkin come from, saying such things? Chang'e flying to the moon is a myth. Great people have said that there is no Chang'e on the moon."
A woman's voice spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone, her eyes filled with contempt for the Ning family of four.
"Zhao Yun, don't talk like that." The girl next to her quickly pulled her aside when she saw the woman speaking like that.
"Xiangling, are you trying to meddle in other people's business again?"
"No, I just felt it wasn't right to say that about others." Xiang Xiangling looked at the Ning family with embarrassment, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
"I'm telling the truth, I'm not just making things up, Brother Yu, tell me, am I right?"
Zhao Yun turned to look at Luo Yu, only to find that Luo Yu's eyes were fixed on Ning Hongzao without even blinking.
Luo Yu had never seen such a vibrant girl before.
How should I put it?
Like the spring sun, warm and comforting, just looking at her warms the heart. It makes him irresistibly want to get closer to her.
"Brother Luo Yu?" Seeing Luo Yu staring intently at the girl, Zhao Yun felt a surge of anxiety and stepped forward, blocking his way. "Brother Luo Yu, do you think I'm right?"
"Huh? What did you just say?" With his view blocked, Luo Yu seemed to suddenly wake up and looked at Zhao Yun blankly.
His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Ning Hongzao again.
"Ah, you little bitch." Seeing that the person she had her eye on seemed to have taken a liking to someone else, Zhao Yun couldn't help but rush towards Ning Hongzao, raising her hand as if to hit her.
"What's wrong with you?" Just as he was about to make a move, his hand was grabbed.
Luo Yu frowned and looked at Zhao Yun. "Zhao Yun, if you want to go crazy, go home. Who gave you the right to hit people for no reason?"
"My dad???"
"Who is your father? I'd like to know, but I wonder if he knows you're using his name to bully us, the upright and patriotic peasants?" Ning Hong then shielded Ning Hongzao behind her. "So what if we're country bumpkins? Are you a bourgeois, so you look down on us rural farmers?"
"I??????"
How could she dare say that she really looked down on them? Although the country now encourages individual businesses, they still vividly remember what happened ten years ago. If they were not careful, not only would she herself be in trouble, but her father would probably be in trouble as well.
Who knows how her father will treat her then?
Her father didn't love her the way the Xiang family loved Xiangling.
I didn't say that.
"Since they didn't say that, then go to the side and don't delay our sightseeing in the capital." Ning Hong snorted, "This is simply an undeserved disaster."
"you??????"
"I'm so sorry, Zhao Yun was wrong. I apologize on her behalf. How about this, to make amends, I'll treat you all to Peking duck from Beijing? Peking duck is famous throughout the country."
"Oh, so you're all family?" This guy wasn't any better. He'd been staring at the jujubes the whole time. Even though his gaze wasn't malicious, it still annoyed him. He already had a girlfriend, yet he was still staring at other girls?
"No, no, I have nothing to do with her." Hearing Ning Hong's misunderstanding about his relationship with Zhao Yun, Luo Yu quickly waved his hand, "We're just ordinary friends."
"Oh, so you're just a friend? Then what right do you have to apologize to us on her behalf?"
"this??????"
"No need. I hope you'll watch your words and not swear at people so casually next time."
Although they had encountered some unpleasant things, their mood improved once they returned to the guesthouse where they were temporarily staying.
After making arrangements for the three people, Ning Hong went out again.
He had already learned some things about Zhao Qing from Ning Anping.
Zhao Qing was just an ordinary girl from a fairly well-off family. Her grandparents were both university professors, and her father also had a regular job.
However, because one of her aunts went abroad, it implicated her grandparents and her father.
Her mother decisively severed ties with them, taking her with her.
She didn't know what happened after that.
Because her mother took her to the countryside.
Life in the countryside was very hard, and neither of them had ever experienced hardship before, so they couldn't bear it.
At the time, her childhood sweetheart, Han Weiguo, was also under investigation due to his family background. Naturally, he couldn't protect her.
At her mother's urging, she reluctantly approached Ning Anping, who had fallen in love with her at first sight, and married him.
Who would have thought that just two years after marrying him, Han Weiguo's family would recover. Meanwhile, Han Weiguo distinguished himself on the battlefield and was promoted to regimental commander.
He also wrote her a letter.
I hope we can reconcile and start anew.
Given the choice between a rural farmer and a regimental commander, anyone with a brain would know which to choose, especially since the regimental commander and she had feelings for each other.
Zhao Qing was grateful to Ning Anping, but this gratitude was not enough for her to make up for it with her whole life. She felt that she had done more than enough by marrying him for two years and giving birth to a daughter for him.
"Han Weiguo?" This person is quite easy to investigate. He is said to be an upright person, but... Ning Hong flipped through some documents in her hand. How could a truly upright person rise so quickly?
However, what kind of person he is has little to do with him.
He just wanted to know why Zhao Qing suddenly went back and wanted to acknowledge Ning Hongzao.
There seemed to be nothing wrong at home.
Han Weiguo's career also went quite well.
He's already a senior colonel this year, and he's about to be promoted to major general... Could it be that Zhao Qing has had a change of heart and genuinely wants to acknowledge Hongzao back?
