Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 416 Returning Home
After that, Liu Yuan did not take the college entrance examination again.

But he went to work obediently.

But whenever her parents mentioned finding a husband for her, she refused.

Liu's parents also knew that her inner conflict wouldn't be resolved so quickly.

Unexpectedly, even now, seeing Yuanyuan crying because Gu Yunzhou is going to study abroad, I still feel a pang of sadness.

Only then did Liu's mother realize that Yuanyuan had never let go of Gu Yunzhou.

but now……

“Yuanyuan, Gu Yunzhou, it’s time for you to let go.”

"You and Gu Yunzhou are destined to be apart."

“He’s going to study abroad for 4-5 years. Yuanyuan, you should understand that a girl’s prime is too short. You should cherish what you have now.”

"Are you really going to wait for Gu Yunzhou again, for another four or five years?"

"Mom knows you're in pain and heartbroken, but it's time for you to let go."

"If you wait another four or five years, you'll be almost thirty. If Gu Yunzhou changes his mind by then, that's fine. But if he doesn't... what will you do then? It will be difficult for you to find someone else then."

"Of course, your parents wouldn't mind supporting you for life, but is that what you want?"

"Furthermore, do you think Gu Yunzhou will really change his mind if we wait another four or five years?"

Liu Yuan fell silent.

Because she already had the answer in her heart.

No, even if we wait four or five years, or even ten years, Gu Yunzhou will not change his mind.

Although Gu Yunzhou didn't like her, Liu Yuan still understood Gu Yunzhou's personality somewhat during the time they worked together at the supply and marketing cooperative.

In her opinion, although Gu Yunzhou looked gentle and seemed easy to talk to, he was actually very stubborn.

Once a decision is made, it will not be easily changed.

And though she appears soft, her heart is cold and hard.

He is only kind and tolerant to people within his designated circle, such as his family.

But to Gu Yunzhou, Liu Yuan meant nothing.

So, does she have to spend another four or five years fighting for an impossible possibility?

Liu Yuan knew it was impossible!

And, should her parents support her for the rest of her life?

Although she loves her parents very much and thinks that she can live with them after getting married, she never thought that her parents would support her for the rest of her life.

and so……

Liu Yuan closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already made up her mind.

"Mom, you mean Gu Yunzhou will be back from Beijing in a while, right?"

"Let me see Gu Yunzhou one more time. I will try again."

"If Gu Yunzhou rejects me again this time, then I will let go completely."

Let's say goodbye one last time, and consider it a way of bringing this relationship to a close.

Mother Liu sighed and hugged her daughter. "Alright, it's settled then."

Eventually, there will be a time when my daughter will give up on me.
-
A week later, Gu Yunzhou returned to Huaihua Village from Beijing by train.

"Hey, the college student is back."

"Yunzhou is back! That's amazing! You actually got to study abroad on a government scholarship. When you come back, you'll be a government employee."

"Yunzhou, why are you back now? Did you come back to get married? Well, you've been gone for several years, you should get married and have kids first. Or maybe you should find a wife from Country A to marry?"

……

Gu Yunzhou, dragging his suitcase, was greeted by very enthusiastic villagers as soon as he returned.

One by one, they came up to him and started chatting.

Gu Yunzhou: ...You're being too enthusiastic, I can't quite handle it.

And why are you interfering with my marriage and children again?

Finally, after breaking through the massive army of villagers, Gu Yunzhou returned home.

Of course, this home is not the old house from before, but the current villa.

He came back to stay once during the Chinese New Year this year. Actually, this time it hasn't been long since he came back for the Chinese New Year.

Gu Yunzhou entered as if he knew the way inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw my niece, Xin Xin, playing.

As soon as the child heard the noise, he looked up and immediately recognized Gu Yunzhou.

"Third Uncle, you're back."

She had a good relationship with Gu Yunzhou because he would bring her small gifts whenever he returned from Beijing.

So she was also looking forward to Gu Yunzhou's return.

Upon seeing Gu Yunzhou return, she immediately dropped the small toy she was holding and pounced on him.

Gu Yunzhou put down his suitcase and picked her up.

At this moment, Yao Chunhua, who had heard the commotion, also came out of the kitchen.

"Grandma, Uncle is back!"

Yao Chunhua took one look and realized it was indeed her third son.

"The third brother is back. You always think about your third uncle. As soon as he got back, you clung to him."

At this moment, Old Man Gu also came out and joked, "I think she's eyeing her third uncle's gift."

"Third Uncle, does Third Uncle have a gift?" Xin Xin looked at Gu Yunzhou with bright, sparkling eyes.

Gu Yunzhou smiled, "Yes, I'll get it for you in a bit."

"Wow, that's great! I'll go call my brother back."

“My brother must be very happy too.”

Soon, she called her older brother Zhuangzhuang, who was playing outside, back home.

The brother and sister were very happy to receive the gifts from Gu Yunzhou.

Not long after, Gu Yunnan returned with his youngest daughter, who was just over a year old.

They were very happy to see Gu Yunzhou return.

During dinner that evening, Gu Yunzhou brought up the topic of studying abroad again.

"Third brother, you've really made something of yourself."

"When you go to Country A, you must study hard so that you can become a scientist when you return to China."

"I never expected that Gu Yunnan's younger brother was a scientist. That's really amazing."

Gu Yunnan then burst into laughter.

Gu Yunzhou was both amused and exasperated. "Second brother, do you think so highly of me?"

Although becoming a scientist was also his goal, he only thought about it in his heart and dared not say it.

After all, being a scientist isn't easy.

Gu Yunnan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're the smartest and most studious person in our family. If you don't become a scientist, who will?"

Gu Yunzhou: ...Okay.

"Then I'll take your good wishes with me."

Soon, Gu Yunzhou also saw the pickles, snacks and other things his parents had prepared for him.

My heart is filled with emotion.

"Father and Mother, I will definitely come back whenever I have time."

"I will write to you too."

"Okay, okay, your parents know. When you go to Country A, please take good care of yourself. Don't neglect yourself for the sake of studying."

"Go safely and come back safely, understand?"

"Your parents don't ask you to be rich or powerful, they only ask that you be safe and sound."

"Yes, Father and Mother, I know."

And so, Gu Yunzhou stayed at home for a period of time, spending the time before going abroad to study with his family.

The next day, when Gu Yunzhou went out to visit his second brother's orchard, he saw an unexpected person at the door.

"Liu Yuan?"

When Liu Yuan saw that Gu Yunzhou recognized her, she was overjoyed. "Yes, Comrade Gu Yunzhou, you, you're back."
