Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 380 Lu Xue (80)

Far away in the frontier city of Altay, outside a small wooden house at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, a tall but thin young woman sat on a wooden bench in front of the door, gazing into the distance.

A tall man in a patched shirt came out of the house, holding a coat in his hand and draped it over the woman.

"The weather is getting colder now. Don't sit outside for too long. You are weak and might catch a cold."

The man looked at the woman sitting quietly with a gentle tone.

The woman held the man's hand, moved to the side, and asked him to sit down with her. The man put his arm around the woman, and they stared into the distance together.

"Qianxue, you should go back. The environment here is bad. It is covered with snow all year round in winter. It is inconvenient to go out to buy things. You are pregnant now.

"If you go back to Beijing, your parents-in-law will definitely not ignore you. I can rest assured that they will take care of you. Maybe it won't be long before I can go back to Beijing."

"Yun Heng, since I chose to come here and marry you, I have made all the preparations. Don't try to persuade me. I will not leave alone."

Does Gu Qianxue miss her relatives? Yes, how could she not miss them? They are her relatives, the ones who have spoiled her since she was a child.

But I have broken their hearts this time, especially my grandfather, he must be very angry.

She has to be responsible for her own choice. This is the path she chose. Even if she knows there is no way out, she will go all the way.

The children of the old Gu family were taught from childhood that they should be responsible for their own choices.

If Mr. Gu knew that he had to be responsible for his own choices in educating his children and grandchildren, I wonder if he would regret letting his beloved granddaughter choose a path to the end.

Zhao Yunheng looked at Gu Qianxue's firm tone, followed her gaze and looked into the distance, without trying to persuade her.

He thought of his family. They should all be living well abroad now. He was the only one left in the country.

Although he had a difficult life in the past few years, he now has Qianxue and will soon have their child, so his life should get better and better in the future.

Zhao Yunheng looked at Gu Qianxue's belly which was not yet bulging, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

Meanwhile, Lu Wan'er in Beijing City felt a dull pain in her heart when she thought of her daughter.

The daughter she raised with care, the one who had never had to do housework at home, left home alone to pursue love and went to that remote place to suffer.

"No, she didn't contact me. In the past two years, I only received one letter from her to let her know she was safe."

Lu Wan'er couldn't help but want to cry when she thought of her daughter.

Mr. Gu recalled the investigation he had done before. The person’s background was a big problem in the past few years, but the policies have been adjusted in the past two years. Maybe he will have a chance to come back later.

"Ask someone to send something to them. Don't send it directly in the name of your family. Send it through a few more detours."

"Grandpa, you might as well just deliver it directly. When my sister receives it, she will definitely know that it is sent by family. What's the point of you going through so many detours?"

Gu Yizhou took an apple and handed it to Mr. Gu.

"Humph, I want to let her know that her family hasn't forgiven her yet, so that she can regret abandoning her loving family for a man."

In fact, what made Old Man Gu angry was that Gu Qianxue did not ask her family to help her find a way to get the child to Beijing or somewhere else.

Instead, she chose to secretly run away to that bitter and cold place alone and suffer with others, not caring about herself at all. A girl who was brought up in a good family should not suffer for a man.

Gu Yizhou looked at his grandfather who looked sad for a rare time, so he changed the subject and started talking about other work matters.

The next day, before Gu Yizhou came, Lin Qingyan went to Ouyang Zhao first. When Ouyang Zhao saw his favorite student, a smile appeared on his face.

"Qingyan, you're here, come in quickly."

"Teacher, when did you come back?" Lin Qingyan followed Ouyang Zhao into the house.

"Come sit over here. We just got home yesterday morning and were cleaning the house. We were planning to visit you today, but we didn't expect you to come."

Ouyang Zhao led Lin Qingyan into the living room.

Lin Qingyan placed the fruit and a bundle in her hands on the coffee table and then sat down.

"You kid, why are you bringing fruit home?"

Ouyang Zhao saw the fruits that Lin Qingyan placed on the table and said in a gentle tone.

"I bought these from a fellow villager. They taste really good. I'll bring some over for you and Teacher Xie to taste."

Lin Qingyan pushed the fruit aside and took out a recorder from another bag.

Ouyang Zhao looked at the recorder in surprise.

"Qingyan, did you buy this recorder?"

"Teacher, I went to the south some time ago and brought back a few tape recorders. This one is for you. I know you like listening to music."

Lin Qingyan took out a few tapes from the box as if she was presenting treasures. The tape recorder and tapes she got here were all obtained from Mr. Hong in Gangcheng.

Lin Qingyan thought Ouyang Zhao might like Teresa Teng, so she put Teresa Teng's tape in and pressed the play button.

It took a long time after Teresa Teng finished singing "Sweet Honey" for Ouyang Zhao to come back to his senses.

"Qingyan, you are so thoughtful. I like this gift very much. Recently, your teacher Xie has been out a lot. Except for class time, I am alone at home all the time. Now I have this to accompany me, so I won't be lonely anymore."

Ouyang Zhao really liked the tape recorder and tapes that Lin Qingyan gave her. She knew they were very expensive, and she also knew that the child would not accept her money.

So she stood up, took out a box from a handbag on the cabinet, and handed it to Lin Qingyan.

"Open it and take a look. This is a small gift that Teacher Xie and I brought you this time. See if you like it."

Lin Qingyan smiled and said to Ouyang Zhao: "Thank you and Teacher Xie! I won't be polite then."

As he said that, he opened the box. When she saw what was inside the box, she couldn't help but gasp. What should she do if she wanted to be polite now?

In the box was a jade bracelet, the color of which was icy green, and you could see the fluorescence flashing when holding it against the light.

She had never touched jadeite before, but she saw a bracelet on Zhou Limei's hand, which Zhou Limei seemed to have spent more than 80,000 yuan to buy for herself as a reward.

She was shocked by the price Zhou Limei mentioned at the time, but she heard Zhou Limei say:

"Jade jewelry worth tens of thousands of yuan is low-quality. The real and good jade can cost hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions."

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Zhou Limei used her mobile phone to search for news related to jade bracelets. Some rich man spent 100 million to buy a bracelet at an auction, and so-and-so spent tens of millions to buy a bracelet.
