Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 261 - 260: Farewell

"This road has already been named by our villagers," the village secretary said with a smile.

After confirming that Gu Jia Ning would fund the road construction, he gathered the villagers and told them about it, mainly to ensure they remember the gratitude.

People only do well in the future when they know how to remember kind deeds.

The villagers were very touched after learning about it, and then someone suggested the name for the road, which was subsequently approved by everyone.

"Once the road is built, it will be called Anning Road."

Ning, of course, comes from Gu Jia Ning’s name, and "Anning" also has a very nice meaning.

Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect that she only wanted to build a road for her hometown, yet the villagers named the road after her.

She knew this was the villagers’ way of giving back to her.

Actually, Gu Jia Ning felt that whether or not the road bore her name wasn’t important, but since the villagers decided so, she didn’t oppose it.

"Alright, let’s settle on that."

As the road construction began, Gu Jia Ning’s family of four was also embarking on their journey to the Eastern Island.

The Gu Family members were all reluctant to part.

Zhuangzhuang and several kids, in particular, were reluctant to let Xingxing and Yueyue go, and they cried upon learning they were leaving.

Yao Chunhua and Old Gu, along with Gu Yunting and others, escorted them to the train station.

Yao Chunhua hugged Gu Jia Ning tightly, unwilling to let go, with eyes red and tearful.

"Who knows how long it will be before we see each other again once you’re gone."

"I originally thought you could stay at home for a month, but I didn’t expect a month to pass so quickly."

Gu Jia Ning also hugged her mother, cherishing the warmth and scent that belonged to her, "Mom, don’t worry, we’ll definitely come back whenever we have time."

Gu Jia Ning naturally cherished the days spent with her family.

For a married daughter, every visit home means one less chance to see her parents.

How could she not cherish this time? How could she not want to return?

Gu Jia Ning was indeed reluctant to leave, but in the end, it was Yao Chunhua who managed to compose herself first and comforted Gu Jia Ning instead.

Then she hugged Xingxing and Yueyue.

"Xingxing, Yueyue, you must take good care of your mom, alright?"

"Grandpa, Grandma, we know."

"Good kids, all of you."

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou also approached and looked at Sheng Zexi, "Ze Xi, this transfer to Eastern Island, is it only for a year?"

"Yes, that’s what they said. After a year, I’ll likely be transferred to Beijing."

"Third Brother, study hard for your exams. Don’t you want to get into Beijing University? Go and wait for us there. In a year, when Brother Xi gets to Beijing, we can all reunite." Gu Jia Ning said as she handed over a set of keys, "This is a courtyard house that’s closest to Beijing University. If you need it, you can stay there."

"And Sister-in-law..."

Gu Jia Ning looked towards Gu Yunting, "Big Brother, I’m not sure about Sister-in-law’s level, nor do I know which university she might get into. If Sister-in-law can also get into a university in Beijing, she can live there if needed."

Gu Yunting nodded, "We’ll see. If your sister-in-law gets into a university in another city, my plan is, once she’s settled, I’ll take the two kids along."

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Yang Manman, but Gu Yunting feels that the situation has changed since last year, becoming more open.

He believes that going to a big city, outside, will provide more opportunities.

He doesn’t want to be stuck in a small Huaihua Village.

He also wants to give his wife and children a better life.

Gu Yunting shared his thoughts openly.

Gu Jia Ning didn’t expect her big brother to be so forward-thinking. Indeed, the upcoming time is ripe for development and prosperity.

"Big Brother, I agree with you. I believe you can definitely make it."

"Anyway, if there’s anything you need, be sure to let us know. We are siblings of the same mother; we should mutually support each other."

Gu Yunting gently patted her head, his eyes full of warmth, "Mm, Big Brother knows."

After hugging everyone and saying their goodbyes with careful reminders, Gu Jia Ning’s family of four eventually boarded the train.

Not until the train started moving and the people were completely out of sight, did Yao Chunhua and Old Gu’s tears finally fall.

They had been holding back, afraid that Gu Jia Ning would see and be even more reluctant to leave.

Gu Yunting watched his weeping parents, then the train receding into the distance, "Mom, Dad, let’s head back. I believe Little Sister’s family will be better and better."

"We can’t lag behind either. We must seize the opportunity and develop the Gu Family well. Our family will always be Little Sister’s strongest support."

Old Gu and Yao Chunhua immediately nodded, their attention slightly diverted, "Yes, our family must also improve. If one day Ningning needs us, we can be of help. Even if we can’t help directly, at least we can always have Ningning’s back!"

-

Meanwhile, Xingxing and Yueyue on the train also appeared a bit downcast.

The two little ones had red eyes, obviously reluctant to part from their grandparents, uncles, and aunts, as well as their cousins.

Though it was only a month, kids are quick to form bonds, especially when there’s blood relation involved.

Eventually, it was Sheng Zexi who pulled out a new storybook and started telling stories to the little ones, gradually diverting their attention.

This trip to the Eastern Island by train would take just one day and night.

However, after the train, they would need to take a boat, cross a stretch of sea, and eventually arrive at their stationed island, a place called Huan Sha Island.

Next to them, as Sheng Zexi narrated stories to the children, Gu Jia Ning opened the weather forecast app.

Because they were on the train, the weather changed according to their location.

At the moment, it couldn’t pinpoint the weather on Huan Sha Island.

However, Gu Jia Ning had heard that the weather on Huan Sha Island was not very favorable.

In the hottest summer, temperatures could soar over thirty to nearly forty degrees, sometimes even over forty. Although winters weren’t very cold.

The lowest it got was a few degrees, never dropping below zero.

So, on Huan Sha Island, it never snowed.

But...

Since it’s an island, surrounded by sea, with a huge ocean connection, it faced typhoons every year. And whenever a severe typhoon struck, it significantly impacted Huan Sha Island, the soldiers on missions, and even the island’s residents.

Therefore, Gu Jia Ning found obtaining this weather forecast quite essential.

"So the islanders on Huan Sha Island make a living by fishing?" Gu Jia Ning asked Sheng Zexi beside her.

Sheng Zexi nodded, "Yes, as the saying goes, ’when near a mountain, live off the mountain; when near the sea, live off the sea.’ Over there, there’s not much land, nor is it suitable for farming, so going out to sea for fishing is their only choice."
