Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 55.1: After Being Abducted (7)
It was a long and bumpy road with slightly deserted fields on the roadside. Vehicles passed by sparsely, shaking from time to time due to the bad road conditions. At this moment, a gray bus was passing by with heavy luggage tied to the roof with thick ropes. The driver was used to drive on such roads, so he was calm and drove at a fast speed.
All the seats on the bus were occupied. As it was a long-distance bus, most people were fast asleep. As the bus was bumpy, bodies bumped against each other. Even those who hated contact with strangers had to endure it.
Except for the last row of seats with six people sitting in a row, the seats in the front are separated by two seats on the left and two seats on the right. In the middle, there is a middle-aged couple with tired faces. Their clothes and temperament are slightly out of tune with the people around them.
The man was wearing a Mao suit-style outfit, which might have been ironed, so it was very smooth and wrinkle-free. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he had an extraordinary temperament, gentle and elegant. He was resting with his eyes closed. The woman next to him was dressed neatly, in a dark blue shirt and black pants. It was hard to tell what the material was, but the edges were neatly trimmed.
“Lao Pei.” Yang Qiuping’s face was full of anxiety. She clenched her hands tightly. She was obviously very carsick and wanted to vomit several times. The fatigue was overwhelming, and she couldn’t rest at ease. “Why don’t we go back?”
Pei Naochun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. His eyes were dark blue and he was very thin. He shook his head: “Qiuping, didn’t we agree to give it another try?”
Hearing this, tears welled up in Yang Qiuping’s eyes. She pinched herself tightly to control her emotions: “Lao Pei, I can’t bear it!” She grabbed the clothes at her chest. In the past few years, she and Lao Pei were almost tortured to death. “I’m scared.”
“She’s waiting for us to take her home.” Pei Naochun reached out and grabbed his wife’s hand. “I feel bad too, but Yuanyuan is still waiting for us.”
Yang Qiuping leaned her head against the window, biting her lips tightly, trying not to make any sound. For her, this was already considered a loss of composure, but so what? Over the years, she had lost composure like this many times.
Where is her Yuanyuan, her dear Yuanyuan?
Pei Naochun reached out his hand and held the other’s hand tightly, transmitting a steady stream of warmth. Having already accepted the memories, he knew clearly how Yang Qiuping, who was by his side, had lived all these years.
The sea of suffering is endless…but there is no turning back.
He still clearly remembered the man he saw in the dark space, wearing neat clothes, and although he was not too old, he looked already frail, with a hunched back, unable to stand up, his hands trembling, and he looked breathless, with tears in his eyes: “Please help me, bring my Yuanyuan back as soon as possible. I’m useless as a father.” He pounded his chest, and anyone who saw him would see that he was heartbroken.
Then, Pei Naochun learned about a story that could be called a tragedy.
…
Although the world that Pei Naochun is going to enter this time is a novel world, it is just a realistic tear-jerking novel called “Home”, which has been adapted into TV series and movies many times, and has brought tears to countless audiences.
Strictly speaking, the novel “Home” does not have a clear protagonist. The story is set in City B and tells a series of stories surrounding the Pei family.
The original person was smart and had a high IQ since childhood. With the support of his parents, he studied all the way and was admitted to the Department of Computer Science at B City University. He continued his studies through opportunities such as exchange schools and eventually obtained a doctorate degree from B City University. He then stayed at the school to teach and became a professor at the school. He and his wife Yang Qiuping met and dated while studying. After graduating from graduate school, the other party went to work at B City Foreign Trade University. After the original person graduated with a doctorate, the two got married and had children and started to run their own small family.
Both of them are college teachers, especially the original self, who made considerable profits after some scientific research results were transformed into productivity. The couple is also not inferior to others in City B, which is full of talents. They have established a firm foothold. Their family income and assets are not bad, and they can be considered as middle class.
In the second year of their marriage, Yang Qiuping gave birth to a son, Pei Yuanbo, for the original body. This child was born in the love and expectation of the whole family. The novel uses a lot of words to describe how the couple prepared things for the child since the child was still in Yang Qiuping’s belly. They were not superstitious at first, but they went to several temples just for a name, just to pray that the child would have a smooth life.
The novel also mentions that Grandma Pei was also one of the earliest intellectuals in the country. She knew how to get along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very well. Ever since her son and daughter-in-law got married, she has lived far away in the apartment allocated by their unit, keeping a proper distance from her son and daughter-in-law and not interfering much in their affairs. After Pei Yuanbo was born, in view of the hard work of the couple, she specially abandoned her sisters who lived near the original house and came to help take care of the child. During this process, she paid special attention to her daughter-in-law’s feelings. During the winter and summer vacations, she would specially return to the apartment to let the three of them get along well. With such management, Grandma Pei and Yang Qiuping were like real mother and daughter, and their relationship was very good.
It stands to reason that such a considerate family, with abundant material and spiritual conditions, should have lived happily forever. However, the story suddenly changed when Pei Yuanbo was three years old.
A three-year-old child is at the age when he is full of energy and vitality. Pei Yuanbo is the same. Every day when he gets up, he shouts and yells excitedly, wanting to go downstairs to play. Of course, this so-called play usually means taking a toy car downstairs for a stroll, or taking a walk in the community. There is nothing taboo about it. Grandma Pei is also very cooperative. As long as she is free, she doesn’t mind taking her little grandson out to play.
May 28th is a day that the Pei family will never forget in their lifetime.
