By distracting herself from resolving the dispute with Luo Sulan, Ruan Yu had gotten rid of a big burden and felt a lot more relaxed immediately.

The remaining task of visiting the graves of my grandparents and father is relatively simple and peaceful.

A few years ago, when she was still in S City, she would go to the cemetery to sweep the graves of her elders every Qingming Festival. Later, when she went to the countryside, only Grandma Xiong and Uncle Dazhuang would remember to come and sweep the graves.

Uncle Dazhuang was familiar with this series of procedures, so it was very easy for him to bring Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen here this time. They arrived at the two graves in the row of the cemetery.

After Ruan Yu's father died, he was buried next to his grandparents' tomb. Ruan Yu's grandmother's last wish was to be with her husband and son.

Ruan Yu's grandparents were professors at S University. They were rare high-level intellectuals of that era and had many students all over the world during their lifetime.

So when they came over now, they could still see fresh traces of tomb sweeping in front of the tombstone.

"Your grandparents' students and your father's former colleagues sometimes come to pay their respects." Uncle Dazhuang looked at Ruan Yu and whispered to her about the situation: "But your grandparents will definitely be happier that you are doing well now!"

After he finished speaking, Uncle Dazhuang did not stay for long. He simply retreated to the bottom of the stairs, leaving the place to Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen.

Xie Beichen and Ruan Yu took out the soft towels they had prepared earlier and wiped the two tombstones carefully, then kowtowed and burned incense.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, Ayu brought Beichen to see you."

Although it was not the original body, the emotions in the original body's memory surged up like a tide, making Ruan Yu unable to restrain herself and she cried out loudly against her father's tombstone.

Ruan Yu's sadness is not only due to the longing for the deceased, but more importantly, it is due to the regret for what happened to her original self.

The original body should have had an enviable life!

After the sacrifice and tomb sweeping, Uncle Dazhuang took Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen to the two-story villa with front and back yards that now belonged to Ruan Yu.

"The keys to this place were actually handed over to my mother last year."

As Uncle Dazhuang spoke, he pointed to a yard next to him and showed it to Ruan Yu: "The house next door was bought by my parents back then. Because we had a good relationship, the two families discussed buying it and became neighbors."

Ruan Yu knew about this.

Ruan Yu's grandparents and Grandma Xiong and her husband actually had a pretty good family background in their early years. They went abroad to study together, and then returned to China together to engage in education and scientific research.

Their lives were originally quite stable, but then chaos set in during those few years and their lives were severely impacted.

Because of their background, they lost their jobs and were even targeted for education.

These private properties that originally belonged to them were also turned over.

It was also from last year that these elderly people began to be rehabilitated and their confiscated properties were returned.

"Most of the things inside have not been moved. After we took back the house, your grandmother Xiong and I went in to clean it up, and we also moved in the things that your grandmother had given to you for safekeeping.

Most of them are the books and materials used by your grandparents, as well as any notes that may have been kept during the research process."

Uncle Dazhuang took Ruan Yu and the others into the room and pressed the light switch on the wall.

Although this house has not been lived in for a long time, it still looks clean and tidy.

Everything remained the same as Ruan Yu remembered.

She was unfamiliar with the place at first, but later on she was able to remember everything about the place.

"I remember that there used to be a dining table here. My grandfather would teach me how to read here when he got home from get off work. And here, there used to be a radio."

Now, it was Ruan Yu's turn to quietly introduce the area where she had lived and her childhood experiences to Xie Beichen beside her.

Everything here makes Ruan Yu feel warm and happy.

Of course, the discovery that really shocked and surprised her was in the study on the second floor.

The original body's memory about her grandparents was actually very vague. Therefore, Ruan Yu only knew that her grandparents were professors who had returned from studying abroad, but the original body's memory did not provide any clues as to what subjects they were good at.

And it was only now, when she saw the information left by her grandparents, that she couldn't help but sigh that things in this world are so incredibly coincidental.

The direction of study she has chosen now is actually the direction that her grandparents have been working hard and striving for all their lives.

The subject that my grandparents focused on was the study of theoretical physics.

It’s just that their identities are not known to later generations. They are just one of the dazzling stars shining in the sky of the motherland in this era. Their identity is more like a gardener who sows seeds.

The seeds of this discipline were sown in this weather-beaten land, opening the door to physics for the students of this emerging country.

Then watch them take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit in this fertile soil.

Eventually, they gather into the dazzling stars in the sky of this country!

Ruan Yu carefully stroked the neatly written notebooks and the carefully translated foreign language materials.

Even if they encountered injustice in the end, they still did not give up their persistence.

Looking at the time when the last unfinished translation was written, it seems to be half a month before my grandmother passed away.

She is still working hard to translate new international knowledge, hoping to help students in China.

It was at this time that Ruan Yu finally understood why there were always signs of continuous tomb sweeping in front of the graves of her grandparents and her father.

Those are their students' most sincere thoughts and gratitude towards them.

After a simple tidying up, Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen originally wanted to invite Uncle Dazhuang and Grandma Xiong to have a meal together, but were politely declined by Uncle Dazhuang.

Firstly, Grandma Xiong is in hospital and her health does not allow it. Secondly, Uncle Dazhuang is still thinking about what Xie Beichen told him before, which is the information he needs to prepare for the transfer. He really doesn't have the time or mood to do that now.

It would be better to wait until everything is settled, then have a peaceful meal.

After seeing Uncle Dazhuang off, Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen walked to the nearest bus stop to meet up with Xie Beifang.

"By the way, I heard you say before that Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are working in S City and living in the dormitory?"

Ruan Yu thought about what Xie Beichen had told her about Xie Beifang on the way here. He had been working in S City for several years, and according to his current position and qualifications, he could have been allocated a house of his own a long time ago.

But to be honest, there are many people in the entire government agency who need houses to improve their living environment more than Xie Beifang.

So Xie Beifang kept giving in, and until now he and his wife and children still live in a tube-shaped building with two single rooms put together.

This is also the reason why when they came to S City this time, Xie Beifang did not bring them home, but arranged for them to stay in a guesthouse.

"Well, I heard that they will be distributing houses again at the end of this year. This time they should have found a place to stay."

Xie Beichen thought about Xie Beifang's reply to him when he was chatting with his third brother before, and he told Ruan Yu without hiding anything.

"I have an idea. This small building left by grandma is empty anyway, why not let my third brother and his family move in directly?"

Ruan Yu thought about it and made a suggestion to Xie Beichen.

In fact, she had just come up with this idea when she heard Uncle Dazhuang say that the house next door that now belongs to their family was temporarily lent to Grandma Xiong's school to accommodate school teachers who were temporarily homeless.

Like Uncle Dazhuang's family, she had no intention of selling the house.

But she will be living in Beijing for a long time next, and Uncle Dazhuang, who used to help take care of the house, will also be transferred to Beijing, so instead of leaving the house here, it would be better to let Third Brother and his family move in first.

In this way, not only can the living environment of the third brother and his family be improved, but it can also help her take care of the house, which is a win-win situation.

After listening to Ruan Yu's idea, Xie Beichen was silent for a moment. While agreeing to Ruan Yu's proposal, he also expressed his gratitude to Ruan Yu on behalf of his third brother.

Because of Xie Beichen's support, after meeting Xie Beifang, Ruan Yu simply told him what had happened in the past two days, and naturally mentioned the matter of the house.

"Is this not a good idea?"

Xie Beifang was stunned. He didn't expect Ruan Yu to give him such a big surprise.

It has to be said that the house has indeed been a big problem that has been bothering him recently.

When he first came to S City, he was alone, so he didn't care much about where he lived. But later, when his wife transferred here, this single dormitory was obviously not enough.

Later, the two younger children who were fostered by their grandparents also came to attend elementary school, and the residence became increasingly stretched.

Although his wife and children understood him and had never complained about him, as a husband and a father, he would like to improve their living conditions if possible.

Now, the arrangement proposed by Ruan Yu has indeed solved his urgent problem.

only……

Xie Beifang thought about it and said, "My sister-in-law believes in your third brother and is willing to give the house to us. We can't live here for free. As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. The rent..."

"Third brother, it's meaningless if you say this."

Before Xie Beifang could finish his words, Ruan Yu interrupted him with a smile: "We are all family, why do we need to be so clear about the differences?

If everything really has to be discussed so clearly, then how much should I thank you for helping me deal with the Xie family's affairs in S City?"

Xie Beifang was not the kind of person who would argue and after hearing Ruan Yu say that, he didn't think about it any more and agreed straightforwardly.

Because they were still concerned about the three children who stayed in Beijing, Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen did not plan to stay in S City for too long.

After helping Xie Beifang's family move and having a meal together, Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen thought about leaving.

It will take time to completely deal with the matter between Grandma Xiong and Uncle Dazhuang. Even if Xie Beifang has arranged people to keep an eye on the development of the matter, it is still not easy to handle some of the minor details.

Grandma Xiong's health has visibly improved. According to the doctor, she only needs to take good care of herself for another half a month before she can be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate.

Everything was moving in a good direction, except that Uncle Dazhuang's request for divorce was fiercely opposed by the Zhai family.

The reason why Zhai Xiurong dared to act so arrogantly before was simply because she thought that Grandma Xiong and Wang Dazhuang would tolerate everything she did.

After all, ever since she got married, she has been trying to figure out the bottom line of this mother and son.

After all, Grandma Xiong and Wang Dazhuang are both educated intellectuals. No matter what happens, they will always save their face.

But this just happened to be the basis for Zhai Xiurong to control them.

Nowadays, shameless people are much more difficult to deal with than those who have dignity!

She had always been so fearless, but she didn't expect that this time she would backfire. Wang Dazhuang no longer compromised, and Grandma Xiong no longer paid any attention to her affairs.

She also went to Wang Dazhuang's unit to cry and make a fuss, but ended up being grabbed and kicked out by comrades from the security department at the gate.

She stood at the door of the unit and wanted to continue to struggle, but the next moment she was taken away by the police who heard the news for education...

Not giving up, she went to the university where Grandma Xiong once taught to seek an explanation. However, this time her situation was even worse. She was directly pulled at the school gate by the school leaders who knew the whole story and was lectured.

When intellectuals insult others, they are much more sophisticated.

The speech without any curse words almost made Zhai Xiurong so ashamed that she almost crawled into the ground...

But even though she encountered obstacles everywhere, she was still unwilling to agree to divorce Wang Dazhuang.

Zhai Xiurong knew very well that the reason why she could live a free and easy life now was entirely because she married into the Wang family.

But if she really lost all of this, then her life...

She couldn't even think about it.

However, Wang Dazhuang, who always had a good temper and was called a coward by her more than once, seemed like a different person this time. He turned a blind eye to her crying, begging and wailing, and insisted on getting a divorce.

Seeing that Zhai Xiurong was making such a pitiful scene, the comrades from the neighborhood committee could not stand it anymore, so they finally accompanied Zhai Xiurong and knocked on the door of Wang's house, hoping to mediate the situation.

Wang Dazhuang sat in the living room, listening to several female comrades from the neighborhood committee chattering incessantly about how, even if giving birth to your children did not amount to any credit, they had worked hard; everyone makes mistakes, and if they correct them, they are good comrades; a couple will always have quarrels sometimes, so comparatively speaking, the original couple is the best, after all, Zhai Xiurong is Dawang's biological mother, and so on and so on.

He did not interrupt and listened patiently to the words of the people present. He then asked calmly, "Then, according to what you comrades said, your daughter-in-law cheated on your son. Can you calmly persuade your son to forgive and accept it?"
