A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

When Yun Jiuzhou was fifty years old, he applied for retirement due to illness, gave up all his fame and fortune, and focused on staying at home to accompany his wife and live their simple life together.

The two have gone through decades of ups and downs together, experienced lows and reached the top, and now just want to live a peaceful life.

The two of them spent more than ten years of happy life together, like all old people.

When Gu Qinghuan was seventy years old, one night, he suddenly dreamed of Pluto again.

She hadn't dreamed of him in many, many years.

Pluto had a playful smile on his face, as if he had already seen through her.

"You've been enjoying your travels over the past few decades, haven't you?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded: "Thanks to you, I am very happy."

"I'm here to tell you that your travel period here is about to end. I have reserved a place for you in a perfect rebirth. When you return, you can go directly to reincarnation."

Gu Qinghuan felt a sense of loss.

"So soon? I want to stay a little longer." She hadn't accompanied Yun Jiuzhou until they were old, so how could she bear to leave him alone.

"The lifespan of your body has actually already been used up. I forcefully extended it by fifty years so that you can come here. Please don't embarrass me!

That's it, you get ready, I will send the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons to take your soul away in the next few days." The Hades was afraid that she would bargain, so he almost fled.

When Gu Qinghuan woke up from her dream, her pillowcase was wet with tears.

She didn't expect everything to happen so quickly. Decades passed in the blink of an eye. She had already died once, so she was actually not afraid of anything.

Her children already have their own homes, and grandchildren will have their own blessings. She is just worried about the man beside her.

He looks strong and tough, but he is actually very fragile inside.

How should he accept her leaving?

Gu Qinghuan gently turned over, sat at the desk, took out paper and pen, but could not write anything, and sat there until dawn.

The next day was Gu Qinghuan’s 70th birthday.

Just like that birthday decades ago, the small courtyard was filled with people.

Dabao, Beibei and Xingxing all came back with their own big families, so they have a house full of children and grandchildren.

Zhong Luo Ning and Xiao Zhuo also brought their families to celebrate her birthday.

Wang Xiaowei and He Qiang's family also came.

Gu Lanting and Ming Ruxue also brought their family to celebrate their sister's birthday.

Yun Runtong passed away early, Liang Zhiqiu passed away ten years ago.

Ji Linhai passed away a few years ago. Among the older generation, only Zhong Zijun is still alive. He is in good health and may live to be 100 years old.

Gu Qinghuan is seventy years old, and she is so happy that her mother celebrates her birthday with her.

The younger generations gathered around and chattered all kinds of auspicious words, and they felt like they were decades younger.

After dinner, just like decades ago, soothing music was played in the yard and everyone sang and danced together.

Gu Qinghuan took the initiative to extend her hand to invite Yun Jiuzhou: "How about a song?"

Yun Jiuzhou reached out and held her hand back.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of dancing now."

The two looked at each other shyly with smiles on their faces, just like when they were young.

Everyone didn't leave until the moon was at its zenith.

Gu Qinghuan and Yun Jiuzhou sat on the rocking chairs in the yard, chatting about the little things in life, such as where to go to exercise tomorrow morning and what to eat for lunch.

"Jiuzhou, I have a secret to tell you." Gu Qinghuan suddenly acted like a little girl and said playfully.

Yun Jiuzhou thought she was teasing him, so he smiled and agreed, "What secret?"

"Actually, I haven't told you that I came here to travel through time and space. Now the time has come, and I should go back and reincarnate." Gu Qinghuan said this, and felt relieved for a moment.

Yun Jiuzhou thought she was joking at first, but when he noticed the seriousness in her eyes, he suddenly panicked.

Because he knew Gu Qinghuan very well, he knew that what she said was probably true.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly." Yun Jiuzhou grabbed her hand, his eyes turned bloodshot.

Gu Qinghuan told Yun Jiuzhou everything that happened in the Underworld Palace after his death in his previous life.

"That's how it is. Jiuzhou, we have been together for decades. Although I am reluctant to let go, everyone has this day. This is the law of nature and cannot be resisted.

I originally wanted to keep it a secret from you until the day I left.

But today I suddenly figured it out, maybe it would be better if I told you everything.

I hope you won’t be sad because of my departure. I just moved to a new place to continue living. Maybe we will meet again one day.

After I leave, you have to take good care of yourself and live a happy life. This is my last wish, understand?"

Gu Qinghuan looked at his lover with affection, feeling endless reluctance in his heart, but he did not dare to show any of his sadness because it would make him feel even worse.

Yun Jiuzhou was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "As long as there are enough merits, can I exchange for the next life?"

How could he accept her leaving and living alone? His current calmness only suppressed his sadness deep in his heart.

Seeing that he was not as sad as she had imagined, Gu Qinghuan was a little surprised and disappointed just to ask this question.

"may be!"

Yun Jiuzhou's eyes darkened.

Since there is no way to change it, they can only choose to accept it and cherish the remaining time.

The two of them didn't even want to waste a single minute of their sleep time.

They looked through old photos together. Each photo represented a memory. Recalling every beautiful frame of the past together was like looking through their own lifetime.

Gu Qinghuan put all the shared memories between herself and Yun Jiuzhou into the space, hoping that the space could still be used in the Underworld Palace. She hoped that she could carry these memories and photos with her in her next life. She didn't want to forget Yun Jiuzhou.

Time travel be damned, to her, this was the most real life possible.

Even though they were reluctant to part with each other, Gu Qinghuan left forever in the evening of the second day after her birthday.

She was lying on the recliner, as if she were asleep.

Yun Jiuzhou came out of the kitchen, holding an egg and asked her if she wanted to eat egg custard. When he saw this scene, his heart seemed to stop beating and the egg in his hand slipped.

"Huanhuan, wake up."

He walked over slowly and called her name softly, expecting her to playfully open her eyes and say to him, "Haha, you've been fooled!"

But he called again and again, but Gu Qinghuan didn't respond at all.

"Qing Huan!"

"Huanhuan!"

"You scared me, didn't you?"

"If you don't open your eyes, I'm going to be really angry."

"Open your eyes now, and I will forgive you for lying to me."

"Gu Qinghuan!"

"Gu Qinghuan!"

"Please get up quickly. I beg you, please don't leave me. It hurts so much here. I can't breathe."

No matter how many times I called out, my lover didn't open his eyes.

Yun Jiuzhou could hardly stand and was half-kneeling on the ground. He didn't dare touch Gu Qinghuan for fear of touching her cold skin.

Although he felt that he was prepared, it was only when he really lost her that he realized what it was like to be heartbroken.

My heart seemed to be locked by an iron chain, being dragged hard and tearing with blood.

The vibrant yard seemed to have become colorless and dim because of her departure.

Everything in this world seems to have lost its meaning.
