Ji Linhai's eyes were dim but clear.

The meal was a pleasant one and the table was completely clear of food.

Ji Linhai volunteered to take the three members of the Zhong family back to the cowshed, and Gu Qinghuan saw them off.

Xu Huaian sent Master Ji back to the cowshed.

Zhong Luoxi and Gu Lanting took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up the toilet and the dishes.

Ming Ruxue takes care of the child.

Only then did Xu Huaian have time to have a good chat with Gu Qinghuan.

The two of them slipped into the space quietly.

"Why have you lost weight?" His face became the size of a palm.

Gu Qinghuan avoided his burning gaze, fearing that she would fall into it.

"No, you are mistaken."

Tiredness is one thing, but she has indeed been eating more recently, so she has lost some weight.

"Thank you for taking care of the family." Xu Huaian said seriously.

"Nothing, the kids are all very well behaved. By the way, did you complete your mission this time?"

"It's done." Xu Huai'an paused and said, "Huanhuan, there is one thing I have made up my mind about!"

"What is it?"

"After completing this mission, the Ministry of Defense said they would offer me a position."

"This is a good thing! The Ministry of National Defense is a good unit. However, your illness..." Gu Qinghuan did not ask about the specific situation, but was worried that there were still hidden dangers in his illness.

"I have recovered my lost memory, Huanhuan. I will probably have another attack in the future."

"That's good!" Gu Qinghuan didn't ask him what the lost memory was. Anyway, as long as it was fine, it was fine.

"Now that you are well, go do what you want to do."

"Yes, I can't bear to part with you, and I also want to pass on the responsibility that should have belonged to me to you." Xu Huaian hugged her in his arms.

"On the one hand, I know that a man must achieve success and to be honest, I once longed for such an opportunity.

But when it really came, I was worried about the gains and losses, wavering, and dared not agree easily.

These two years have taught me to treasure what I have around me. Huanhuan, you are the most precious thing in my heart, and I am afraid of losing you.

Tell me, what should I do?

If you take a step forward, you can take care of your family; if you take a step back, you will feel poor. No matter what you choose, you will be in a dilemma. This is what soldiers are like.

Gu Qinghuan felt his warm embrace and hugged him back gently, feeling more at peace than ever before.

It was also the first time that she opened her heart to Xu Huai'an and expressed her thoughts.

"Xu Huaian, go ahead and be a better version of yourself. You belong to a wider world. An eagle should not be confined to this corner.

I hope we can all become better people.

I actually have an idea in my mind. When the situation stabilizes and the college entrance examination is resumed, I want to take the college entrance examination and study psychology systematically.

I hope to use more professional knowledge to help those with mental disorders in the future.

Whether it is post-war psychological disorder, depression, or autism, I want to understand their world and truly help them out of their difficulties, and the only way is to rely on spiritual spring water.

God sent me here, gave me space and spiritual springs, and it must be just for me to take a trip. I think I have found the meaning of my trip.

I want to spread more advanced ideas in the future to this land and help more people get out of difficulties."

Gu Qinghuan was just inspired. She had been thinking about this matter for a long time. In the short six months since she came here, she had come across many cases where people were able to recover in time due to mental setbacks.

Xu Huaian has post-war psychological disorders. If she hadn't helped him, his future would most likely be a corpse buried in the wilderness.

Zhong Luoqing suffers from depression, Xu Youran suffers from autism. Although she knows clearly how they ended up in their previous lives, she can imagine that Xu Jianguo will not let them have a good life. They will probably end up miserably.

And there is Zhengping. Without her help, his condition would most likely have become more serious and he would not have received timely treatment.

Although his family conditions were bad and he had to sleep on the streets, his life should have been more brilliant.

All these things made her feel that she had to do something since she came here.

Although airplanes and cannons were invented and benefited all mankind, at least the advanced ideas of later generations could have been used to change the fate of these disadvantaged groups.

It was in vain that Hades had given her space and spiritual spring water.

When she first came here, she really just wanted to treat it as a trip and have a leisurely trip.

Now she already considered herself a part of this world, a savior, and at least she had contributed a bit.

Xu Huaian never thought that his young wife had such lofty ambitions, and he was deeply moved.

"Huanhuan, it seems like I really understand you for the first time. It seems like I've known for a long time that you are this kind of person.

If I have the chance, I really want to visit your world and experience the civilization there.

If this is what you like, I support you to go for it, and like you said, we work together to become better people.”

At this moment, the two seemed to have a telepathic connection, and 놊 didn't need many words to understand 뀊's thoughts.

Xu Huai'an already knew the trajectory of historical development. The world would soon change dramatically and the future would still be dominated by intellectuals. He strongly supported Gu Qinghuan's desire to go to university and do what she wanted to do.

In fact, after listening to Gu Qinghuan's thoughts, he felt ashamed for a moment. As a soul from another world, Gu Qinghuan also wanted to make this world a better place and help more people.

But in his heart, he only cares about his children, which is right.

At this moment, he made up his mind that he must work hard to walk a smooth path on his own, pave the way for Gu Qinghuan, protect her dreams, and be her solid backing, but it is a burden.

Whether it is love or friendship, two people must advance and retreat together and be at the same level, so that the relationship can last.

The two agreed that Xu Huaian would return to Beijing to work next year, and Gu Qinghuan would stay in Xujiatun temporarily to take care of Zhong Zijun and the others, taking care of the children while also preparing for the college entrance examination.

It was that she wanted to go back to Beijing, but she still had a lot of things to give up here, so she could only wait.

Wait until she is admitted to university, wait until the Zhong family is rehabilitated, wait until everything is settled, I hope this day will not be too far away.

Xu Huaian also understood her decision.

The two agreed to come back when the house had been tidied up, and everyone sat on Gu Qinghuan's kang, eating pine nuts and chatting.

Gu Lanting had already cleaned up the remaining fish, mainly thanks to Ji Linhai. After killing them all, he washed them and waited for Gu Qinghuan's next arrangement.

When Ji Linhai sent Zhong Zijun away, Gu Qinghuan had asked him to help bring a bucket of fish over, leaving Zhong Zijun to use as she pleased.

The rest are hers.

In order to avoid being frozen until the next day and having to thaw them, Gu Qinghuan dealt with them overnight.

Keep it fresh, freeze it outside, it will harden quickly in this weather.

Spread half of the remaining fish with salt and seasoning, and hang it on the kitchen beam to cook mackerel. The high temperature in the kitchen is suitable for cooking mackerel.

Cut the other half into pieces and marinate with seasonings. When you are ready to eat, take a few pieces out of the jar.

All in all, it’s a delicious way.

Xu Huai'an accompanied her throughout the packing process. Gu Qinghuan urged him to go to bed and rest several times, but he was willing.

Fortunately, this job is quick.

Tonight's sleeping arrangement was the same as yesterday, except that Gu Lanting, Dabao, and Xu Huaian slept in one room, and the others slept in another.

We are all very tired today, so we went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's gathering.

Especially Xu Huaian and Gu Lanting, one was hurrying on the road and the other was killing fish, they had used up all their energy and fell asleep almost the moment they lay down.

The next morning, everyone got up early and packed up.

Gu Qinghuan came and prepared a complicated breakfast. She heated up a basket of buns that she had wrapped yesterday, fried a pot of egg pancakes, and drank a cup of milk powder for each person for breakfast.

After the family had dinner, they were ready to go.

Everyone is going today, and Ji Linhai is going with them.

Yesterday, Zhong Zijun said that there was everything at home, so he went to join in the fun and let them have a good time.

Gu Lanting knew where to turn into two homemade sleds, one for Ji Linhai and one for himself.

"Come on, sister, get on!" He patted the sled and was really ready to pull Gu Qinghuan.

Jokes aside, Gu Qinghuan really had the nerve to go up there.

As it happened, today they brought a few pounds of vegetables over to exchange for goods, and Gu Lanting's sled was just the right size to carry the vegetables.

There was a big basket on Ji Linhai's sled, which was very warm inside. He was pulling several children. Everyone felt relieved because he was strong and steady.

There was a complete shortage of vegetables at home. The cellar and the space were full of them, so Gu Qinghuan planned to take some to exchange for other things.

This was also inspired by Qian Caihua yesterday.

Let's see what we can exchange these vegetables for.

At the agreed time, the whole family arrived at the entrance of the village in a mighty procession. Erdan's family was also ready to go. There were also many people in the village carrying large and small bags to go, and it seemed that they were also going to Sanlitun.

When Erdan saw them coming, he quickly ran over and squeezed into the frame of the three of them.

The group chatted as they headed towards Sanlitun. The road was difficult to travel on, but the atmosphere was so lively that an hour passed quickly as they talked and laughed.

During this time, Zhong Luoxi and Ming Ruxue were able to walk, so they took turns riding Gu Lanting's sled for a while.

On the contrary, Gu Qinghuan was very strong and walked along with him without any hesitation.

Xu Huaian even whispered in her ear: "Are you tired? If you want, let me carry you on my back!" He was eager to try.

Gu Qinghuan shook his head violently, his whole face full of rejection.

Although they were a legal couple, she was terrified to think about how she would become a laughing stock in Xujiatun at night if she did this in front of everyone.

Xu Huaian looked quite regretful.

Gu Qinghuan quietly distanced himself from him.

Although Gu Lanting's body is not as strong as Xu Huaian's, he is still strong. The spiritual spring water was not nourished in vain. He pulled the sled all the way here and refused to let anyone replace him.

The group finally arrived in Sanlitun, and saw more people.

Ming Ruxue and Zhong Luoqing had grown up in the city and had never seen such rural scenes. They felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and everything was new to them.

Sometimes the questions asked made Chen Fengqin laugh.

When you get close to Sanlitun Market, it's basically crowded.

Gu Qinghuan asked several children to get off the sled and hold onto the adults' arms so that they would not get lost easily.

It's a market, and there are a lot of people there. What if someone comes to sell things?

Because there were so many people, they were easily squeezed together, while Ming Ruxue, Gu Lanting, Zhong Luo and a few others wanted to walk around alone.

So Gu Qinghuan simply let them do their own activities and brought a few children with him to play. When they had enough fun, they gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of Sanlitun Market.

Ji Linhai also had to go exchange some daily necessities he needed, so he separated from them temporarily.

Erdan's family also acted alone.

Only Gu Qinghuan and Xu Huai'an were left pulling the sled, and they smiled at each other.

This was a good thing, as they could take the opportunity to smuggle some things out of the space, such as some dry goods and pears that had been stored in the space before.

Gu Qinghuan had brought a large bag of pears last night and put them in the snow to freeze. They were real frozen pears, and they would just need to be smuggled through space and brought back later.

There are also pheasants, rabbits and other things that are not enough. There are many people in the family, so we eat everything quickly.

It's a pity that time is too tight today. Otherwise, Xu Huaian is going to kill a wild boar, a goat, a deer, etc. in the space and take some meat back to eat slowly.

There is no rush to pass, there will be opportunities later.

The two of them turned away from the scene.
