"I'm getting married next month on the 8th. Auntie, if you're free, come to the wedding banquet. Here are some wedding candies."
Xiao Li took out the wedding candies.
"That's great news! It's the 8th of next month, so there are only ten days left. Just wait a bit."
Yang Yufen got up, went to the counter, and carefully selected a silk scarf, choosing the best one.
"The old lady has several children at home and can't leave on Sunday, but she'll take these wedding candies as a wedding gift for you."
"Thank you, ma'am. Are you here to buy gold again?"
Xiao Li accepted the scarf, glanced around, and began recommending it to Yang Yufen.
Yang Yufen exchanged the money for gold, but she didn't take off the copper bracelet on her wrist; instead, she bought a new one just like the one she had before.
"Xiao Li helped me wrap it up, and this one too."
Yang Yufen also revealed the jade bracelet.
"No problem, ma'am, please wait a moment."
Xiao Li worked quickly and skillfully, wrapping both bracelets with red thread. The jade bracelets wrapped with red thread were even more difficult to remove from the wrist.
Yang Yufen put away the gold bracelet she had bought. The price of gold was rising really fast, but it didn't matter. Money wouldn't make money if it was just sitting there. Gold was a hard currency, so it was good to save more. She didn't know anything else.
Moreover, compared to housing prices, gold is still more cost-effective right now; as long as you have enough housing, that's fine.
Xiao Bao was out of school, as were the twins and Wang Xing. Miao Miao from next door was also at the orphanage. The children walked together, with Hu Zhenghao and Yao Yao protecting them on either side.
"Wash your hands before eating, then do your homework."
Yang Yufen brought the prepared food to the table.
The children had long since developed good habits. Without Yang Yufen's supervision, they would clean up their own dishes after eating, then take out their homework to do, listen to English on the radio at home, and then it was time to watch cartoons.
From Xiao Bao being able to hold a spoon by himself to being able to hold chopsticks by himself, several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the spring of 1987, the streets and alleys were bustling with activity.
Red lanterns are also hung high in Chinatowns abroad.
"Sister Nian, we can go back in four months. I'll be finishing up here in the last month."
Fan Juan has now completely transformed into a fashionable woman with long, wavy hair, making it hard to imagine that she looked so simple when she first arrived just over a year ago.
"It's really easy to make money abroad. If it weren't for wanting to return to the embrace of my motherland, I would be reluctant to leave."
"You're really amazing, but you must be careful."
Qin Nian and Fan Juan agreed on a date to return, and the two soon parted ways.
Fan Juan looked up at the sky and realized that the blue sky of her motherland was still bluer.
Qin Nian stayed in the laboratory day and night, and the experiment entered its final stage.
"Xiao Qin, it's time for you to leave. Have you remembered everything I taught you?"
"Professor, the experiment is not over yet."
Qin Nian looked at the professor in disbelief.
"If the experiment ends, you may not be able to return home safely."
"And what about you, Professor?"
Qin Nian looked at the professor. The professor was so capable; if he returned to China, he would definitely be of great help to the country.
"I can't leave now, otherwise who will teach so many students? Our country lacks too many things. We need to leverage external forces and lie low when we are weak. When we are strong enough, we will not be afraid."
The professor looked at Qin Nian gently, his eyes filled with hope and expectation.
