Lin Yuexi was a little hesitant at first. After all, she was busy with work and there were many matters to deal with here. But Gong Qiheng and Ye Shihan sent telegrams one after another to persuade her again and again, and their words were full of expectation and longing.
Lin Yuexi, Lu Cheng couldn't refuse, so he finally agreed and began to arrange his itinerary and prepare to go to Beijing.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun were so excited that they were about to overflow, and their eyes were shining with anticipation.
The two of them gathered together, discussing with each other. Lu Ziyan's face was full of anxiety. He took his sister's hand and said, "Sister, we haven't been to the Xiao family for a long time. I don't know if Grandpa Xiao is in good health. The last time we went there, he was still talking about telling us new stories."
Lu Xiyun nodded vigorously, her face full of longing, "Yes, I'm still thinking about Uncle Xiao Yichen. He said he would take me to the Beijing Zoo?"
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun became excited at the thought of seeing new and exotic animals.
"And my aunt, she also said she would buy delicious food for me to eat and fun things for me to play with..." Lu Ziyan added.
As for Lin Yuexi, her thoughts were drifting in a completely different direction.
She thought that since she was going to Beijing, she would have to take a look at the courtyard house she had bought earlier, and find someone to renovate it. After she had dealt with things in Gan'an County, the family of four would move there.
At the same time, Lin Yuexi had something more important in mind.
After the Chinese New Year, it was 1977. She knew that this year was of great significance as the college entrance examination would be resumed in December. In this era when knowledge is becoming increasingly important, a college diploma is crucial to her.
She is eager to continue her studies in the medical field, improve her professional level, and better treat patients and save lives.
Without a college degree, many dreams would be limited, so no matter what, she had to seize this opportunity, fill in this key link, and pave a broader road for her future.
At this moment, Lu Cheng's mind was completely occupied by the upcoming trip to the Gong family.
He frowned slightly, his fingers tapping unconsciously on his knees, his mind constantly circling the scene of meeting his relatives after returning to the palace.
He recalled what his parents had said, that both the Gong family and the Ye family were large families with profound heritage, flourishing branches and leaves, and many cousins.
These relatives he had never met made him curious and a little nervous.
He pondered secretly how to greet someone when they first met and what topics to talk about so as not to seem awkward.
He imagined walking into the Gong family mansion and being surrounded by a group of unfamiliar yet blood-related faces, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Lu Cheng thought that although he was going to the Gong family to meet his biological parents, there were still so many elders there, so he had to buy some local specialties.
So he turned to look at Lin Yuexi, frowned slightly, and suggested seriously: "Yuexi, when we go to Beijing this time, we must bring some presentable gifts. Otherwise, let's buy some local specialties and bring them back to our elders and relatives at home, which can also be regarded as a token of our thoughts."
Lin Yuexi had a mysterious smile on her face and said calmly, "No need to buy it. I have already prepared something more suitable."
As she spoke, she looked around calmly, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she quickly focused her mind.
In an instant, twenty plump and high-quality ginsengs slowly appeared in her palm.
The ginseng skin has clear texture and a warm luster, the roots are slender and complete, and emit a faint and fresh medicinal fragrance.
"This... where did this come from?" Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, full of shock and confusion. His mouth opened wide, and the expression on his face froze for several seconds before he stammered out these words.
His eyes moved back and forth between Ren Shen and Lin Yuexi's faces, as if trying to confirm whether everything before him was an illusion.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, knowing that this secret that had been hidden for so long could no longer be kept secret.
She pulled Lu Cheng to the corner of the train station, found a relatively quiet place, and sat down slowly.
She stared into Lu Cheng's eyes, with a look of both trepidation and determination, and said softly: "Ah Cheng, I have been hiding something very important from you. In fact, I have a special space, which comes from the 22nd century. I brought it with me when I traveled here.
The flow of time in space is different from that in the outside world, and the crops grown there grow extremely fast. These ginsengs are grown in space. However, only I can enter this space, you cannot. ”
Lu Cheng listened quietly, the expression on his face gradually changed from initial shock to confusion. His brain was working at high speed, trying to digest this information that seemed like a fairy tale. He frowned, clasped his hands together unconsciously, and muttered to himself subconsciously: "Twenty-second century? Traveling through time? There is such a magical space... Then you are not the original Lin Yuexi, right?"
"Yes, the original Lin Yuexi has been tortured to death by Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying. I am Lin Yuexi from the 22nd century..."
Lin Yuexi said slowly, "I have a magical portable space. My space contains countless supplies that I had stored before, as well as weapons that are beyond this era. That's why I was able to come and save you last time...."
Lu Cheng sat there in a daze, his mind was blank. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Yuexi, this is too unbelievable, but I have to believe it."
His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including shock, confusion, but also a hint of relief and understanding.
But he understood that everything Lin Yuexi said was true.
Lu Cheng took a deep breath, and his mind involuntarily emerged with various scenes after his return after five years of absence. Those details that he had once ignored now flooded into his mind like a tide.
He clearly remembered that when he just came back, the Lin Yuexi in front of him was completely different from the timid and cowardly girl in his memory.
Lin Yuexi used to be so scared that her eyes would turn red even after a few disputes with her neighbors. She spoke timidly, could not make up her mind about everything, and always habitually relied on others.
But now, Lin Yuexi, who was standing in front of him, had tenacity and courage in her eyes.
Faced with life's difficulties, she never backed down, supported the family alone, and handled all household affairs in an orderly manner.
Take for example the last time I almost became paralyzed! It was she who cured me with her magical acupuncture. When she was a village doctor, the patients would be cured as long as they passed through her hands. She also cured my mother's illness. She also took out the weapons she brought to save me last time at the border...
Not only that, she always comes up with some strange yet extremely practical things on weekdays.
