My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 173 Grandfather's Past

"Predict the future?" Shu Die was stunned, then said disapprovingly, "How is it possible that someone can predict the future!"

But she was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned around to look at Zhuang Xiao's profile, but she could only see a serious expression.

Yes, if she can think of it, how could Zhuang Xiao not think of it?

Predict future?

I’m afraid it’s not “knowing history”.

Just like Zhuang Xiao was able to predict Liu Lang and others’ actions in advance, it was because he had experienced similar things before “going back in time”.

So he subconsciously sat up straight and waited for Shu Jianhong to continue.

Shu Jianhong picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes drifting upwards uncontrollably, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"We lived in Tennessee at the time. My ancestors were brought there to build railroads in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, they saved a local banker, so they were arranged to do business with him. After they gradually got better, they moved to New York. Then, by the time of my parents' generation, they had become wealthy people, so we moved to a wealthy area in the suburbs.

"An Lan's family was our neighbor at the time. She was adopted by a white female scientist. We were not much different in age at the time. We were both Chinese, and she could speak Chinese, so we got to know each other. I was only in elementary school at the time."

Shu Die was dissatisfied, "Grandpa! You haven't told me why she has special abilities!"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you right away." Shu Jianhong naturally couldn't persuade his granddaughter, so he smiled and quickened the pace, "Afterwards, we didn't have much contact, because she was admitted to the university directly, of course, also thanks to the recommendation letter.

"At that time, the motherland had already stood up again. Although our family lived well there, the social atmosphere had gradually become less friendly.

"It was probably in the mid-1950s, or maybe even earlier, when she suddenly came back to our house and suggested that we return to China to develop our careers, saying that the country was in need of talent.

"My father was willing at the time, but my mother was not very happy. She felt that China was in chaos and poverty, and she was doing well as a rich wife there, so there was no need to come back and suffer. And at that time, the United States had some demonized propaganda against us, as you all know.

"So An Lan said that the country will definitely develop in the future, and that going back now would be a timely help, which is better than being monitored here. Later, my father persuaded my mother, and we came back. As she expected, we developed very well in the country and even got an audience with the leaders."

At this point, Shu Jianhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Although it was a bit hard when I came back, no one was on guard against us, and to be honest, I lived a more comfortable life.

"Later, An Lan also came back. I was very happy at the time. My parents took me to thank her, but she told me privately that she was doing it for herself. She wanted to return to China as soon as possible, but she had no channels, so she asked us to come back first so that she could help her open up channels."

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

But Shu Die had already said what she wanted to say, "But isn't she a great scientist? She was a genius girl in the United States. Doesn't she have other ways to contact people?"

Shu Jianhong sighed, "Because she said that would change the future. It was then that I began to suspect that she had the special ability to predict the future."

After a pause, he continued: "And the day I was really sure was June 1960, 6."

Zhuang Xiao was shocked. That day?
Wasn’t that the day when An Lan led his team to develop the first computer in China, which was also the first high-speed computer in the world?

It is also the day mentioned in the "Diary", "I changed history"!
"There was a celebration party that night and family members were allowed to attend, so my dad took me with him."

Shu Jianhong's eyes revealed deep admiration and memories, "The conditions at that time were very simple, and the food was just ordinary mixed noodles. Although An Lan was dressed very simply, she was less than 21 years old, but she was surrounded by a group of top leaders in the domestic scientific, political and military circles. She was the brightest star at the scene, and this celebration banquet was held for her.

"She was so dazzling and brilliant, and from that moment on, I completely gave up on having any thoughts about her, because I knew I would never be worthy of her.

“And at the end when she took the stage to give her speech, she said that.”

"I changed history." Zhuang Xiao suddenly spoke.

Shu Jianhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Almost. She said 'We made history.'"

Then he explained, "At first she said 'we changed history', and then the inspector Qian smiled and said that she grew up abroad and couldn't speak Chinese well, so it should be 'we created history', and then she changed her words."

Zhuang Xiaoxin said that she might not have said it wrong, but her original meaning was "changed history."

If it were just the written records in the "diary", there might be errors, but since it says the same thing, it would definitely be correct if the two were verified!

After Shu Jianhong sighed, he continued to recall:
"One step faster, one step faster. Computers are the foundation. Many scientific and technological research, whether military or civilian, cannot be separated from the support of computers. So later some people even said that An Lan was the founder of our country's scientific and technological development. Of course, she herself never admitted it, but just said that she did a little work on the shoulders of her predecessors.

"But later, she stopped leading the subsequent computer research and development work, and even gradually moved away from the center, turning to research some mysterious things."

Shu Jianhong shook his head. "There was a qigong craze at that time. I heard that some leaders tried to persuade her, but she insisted on studying some time-space theory. Even the leaders came to me to do ideological work, but she was too lazy to even meet me.

"I didn't see her for a long time until she came to me for investment."

Zhuang Xiao asked, "So you refused?"

"Yes, I refused because it was too outrageous." Shu Jianhong stroked the purple clay teapot with his rough knuckles, feeling quite emotional. "She actually thought about how to go back to the past and even tried to separate people's minds from their bodies. I think she has gone astray.

"I tried to persuade her at the time, but she refused to listen and said that she would definitely succeed. She said that if she was gone in the future and someone came to look for traces of her, she would ask me to give him something. You wait first."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a brown paper bag and handed it to Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao took it subconsciously, "What is this?"

"This is a property in Luoyang. It contains the property certificate and other complete documents, as well as the key to the house. I'm handing it over to you now."

After saying that, Shu Jianhong stood up and went back to the house. "You guys go away. I don't really want to see you."
