After Wang Dongsheng left, Gu Nanxun, Chen Bin, Wang Haoran, and Lin Yunfeng chatted in the living room. Lin Qing, Lu Xianghong, Xu Fengjiao, Zhao Xi, and Zhao Chen went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. They originally didn't want Lin Qing to go, but Lin Qing didn't want to chat with the men, so she went to the kitchen with them.
After preparing the meal, everyone ate lunch together.
After lunch, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun decided to go to the brigade leader's house to say hello.
So the two of them took two cans of food and a pound of brown sugar and went to the brigade leader's house.
After leaving the brigade leader's house, the two decided to walk around the village together to see if anything had changed. They had missed Chaoyang Brigade quite a bit after not seeing them for a month.
They walked slowly along the village paths, looking at the familiar scenery, their hearts filled with emotion.
"Brother Nanxun, do you still remember when I first came to the Chaoyang Brigade?"
Lin Qing asked with a smile.
Gu Nanxun smiled and said, "Of course I remember. I will never forget that day when a little girl was crying and laughing in front of me."
Lin Qing nodded shyly: "I didn't want to cry at the time, I just couldn't control my emotions!"
Gu Nanxun reached out and took Lin Qing's hand, squeezed it, and said, "I know, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it either."
"Yes, when I found out you were in that house, I went in with anticipation, but the shock was too great. During that time, I felt heartbroken and wanted to cry every time I thought about it."
"It won't happen again. I'll never make you worry like that again."
Gu Nanxun stopped and looked at Lin Qing with a serious expression.
Lin Qing also looked at Gu Nanxun with a serious expression. The two looked at each other, and as they looked at each other, they both revealed bright smiles.
In the afternoon, Chaoyang Brigade was covered in a blanket of white snow. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a dazzling glow on the pristine white earth. Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing walked along the snow-covered path, their footsteps crunching underfoot.
The surrounding houses were covered in a thick blanket of snow, with fluffy snow piled on rooftops, windowsills, and fences, like decorations bestowed by nature. The distant mountains also softened, covered with a thin layer of white snow, their outlines appearing exceptionally clear under the sunlight.
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing walked across a snow-covered field, leaving two lines of footprints of varying depths in the snow. Happy smiles radiated from their faces, and their eyes sparkled.
They walked and talked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the small river at the entrance of the village. The river had thawed a little, and the sound of flowing water could be faintly heard.
"Nanxun, listen, spring is coming. Time flies!"
Suddenly, Lin Qing said with a sigh, "Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have become a mother and someone else's wife."
Gu Nanxun held Lin Qing's hand: "Yes, time flies so fast, but as long as we are together, it will be beautiful whether it is spring, summer or autumn and winter."
Lin Qing smiled and nodded, then nestled in Gu Nanxun's arms. The two stood quietly, enjoying the peace and happiness.
...
The two didn't shop for too long. After a while, they held hands and slowly walked home.
After returning home and resting for a while, the two went back to their space after dinner.
Inside the space, the uncle was holding Gu Nianqing as they busied themselves in the kitchen, while Gu Nianqing taught her uncle how to use the kitchen's stir-fry machine.
"Nanxun, Qingqing, you've arrived. Have you eaten yet?"
Upon seeing Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing enter, Zhao Jinxiang asked them with delight.
"Uncle, we've already eaten. You and Nianqing can eat together!"
That's right, Gu Nianqing can eat now. Since he confessed, he has quickly grown his teeth and can now eat with them. What they can eat, Gu Nianqing can eat too, and he can even secretly drink a small glass of wine.
"This cooking machine is so convenient, and the dishes it makes taste especially delicious."
Zhao Jinxiang took a plate of green vegetables out of the cooking machine and said with a sigh.
"Yes, it's really convenient. I'm even planning to open a small restaurant using the cooking machine in the future!"
Lin Qing nodded and said with a look of agreement.
...
Over the next few days, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing stayed at the Chaoyang Brigade, waiting for Gu Nanxun's transfer order. In the evenings, they went to Haishi several times, but they still couldn't find the fourth jade pendant.
Although the jade pendant was not found, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing had made quite a haul in Haishi these past few days. They even found a box of gold ingots that had been hidden by someone.
That evening after dinner, Lin Qing finally decided to ask the Book of Answers again.
"Book of Answers, where is the fourth jade pendant in the sea city?"
As soon as Lin Qing finished asking her question, two lines of small print slowly appeared on the Book of Answers, and both she and Gu Nanxun immediately focused their attention on the yellowed pages.
The text in the book gradually becomes clearer, pointing to a specific location: "In the old town of Haishi, there is a corner forgotten by time, an old pawnshop, and the jade pendant is there."
Upon learning of this clue, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun did not hesitate at all and immediately set off in a hovercar to the old town of Hai City.
The mirage was exceptionally quiet in the night, and the two figures cast long shadows under the dim streetlights. They walked through several narrow streets and finally found the old pawnshop at the end of a small alley.
The pawnshop's storefront was small, and the wooden signboard creaked in the wind, as if telling stories of the past.
Lin Qing gently pushed open the door, and a musty smell wafted out.
The store was dimly lit, and the shelves were filled with all sorts of odds and ends, from old clocks to worn-out furniture; each item carried a piece of history.
Who are you looking for?
In the dim light, an elderly man, wearing reading glasses, was bending down to repair a broken piece of porcelain.
Hearing someone come in, he looked up and glanced at Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun through his glasses.
"My shop is no longer in operation, please leave!"
The old man's voice was hoarse and low.
Lin Qing stepped forward and said politely, "Sir, we are not here to pawn anything, but to find a jade pendant."
The old man's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment before he slowly said, "I have plenty of jade pendants here. Which one are you looking for?"
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing with a curious expression.
Gu Nanxun stepped forward and asked earnestly, "Sir, may we take a look at your jade pendant?"
The old man looked up at Gu Nanxun for a while before nodding. He then took out an old wooden box from under the counter. Inside, about 20 exquisitely carved jade pendants lay quietly.
