Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: All Is Well (101)

Even though Su Rumei opposed him as much as she could, in the end, she even cried and begged for mercy, yet Meng Qinghao still embarked on his journey to teach in the countryside.

Before leaving, he had secretly returned once to the military district compound.

The place where he had lived since childhood.

He saw Mr. Su, whom he had called grandfather for over twenty years.

Mr. Su was still the same as before, exercising in the middle of the courtyard every morning.

Meng Qinghao saw Gu Lingling come out, seemingly bringing water to Mr. Su. The two were saying something, and Mr. Su burst into hearty laughter.

He had never seen Mr. Su laugh so heartily before.

Grandfather looked better than before, still full of energy.

Meng Qinghao said to himself in his heart.

For some reason, Gu Lingling seemed to have a sense of intuition and glanced in Meng Qinghao’s direction, scaring Meng Qinghao into quickly hiding behind a tree.

"Lingling, what are you looking at?" Su Changsheng asked while wiping his sweat.

"It’s nothing." Gu Lingling shook her head.

Earlier, she felt as if someone was secretly watching them, but when she looked over, there was no one there.

"Let’s go back." Su Changsheng patted Gu Lingling’s shoulder, "Grandpa’s going out for a stroll and will be back later."

Gu Lingling wanted to follow but was stopped by Su Changsheng, "Go back."

Meng Qinghao drooped his head and started to leave. Suddenly, someone patted him on the back. He turned around and saw Su Changsheng looking at him.

"Grand... Hello." He wanted to call him grandfather, but thinking of those matters, he just couldn’t bring himself to say it.

"Why didn’t you go in?" Su Changsheng asked.

"I won’t go in." Meng Qinghao lowered his head and smiled, "Just wanted to see you’re well."

Going in would only add to the awkwardness.

"What are your plans for the future? I heard you resigned from the school?" Su Changsheng said with his hands behind his back, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

Meng Qinghao was someone he had watched grow up; this child was different from his mother and Meng Feifei.

"Yes, I resigned." Meng Qinghao said, "I plan to go teach in the countryside, and if possible, I might not come back."

A promising young university professor, and now it has come to this—what a pity.

"Work hard." Su Changsheng sighed.

"Well, I think it’s great. I’ve been there before; the children really need me." Meng Qinghao said.

Whether it’s atonement or something else, it doesn’t matter.

Su Changsheng said nothing more, sighing and waving to Meng Qinghao.

"Grandfather." Meng Qinghao called out to him.

"May I call you grandfather one more time?" He looked hopefully at Su Changsheng.

"Of course." Su Changsheng nodded.

"Grandfather, take care of your health." Meng Qinghao pressed his lips together, "In the future... please do take good care. I may not visit you often, but I’ll always be sending you my blessings."

"Take good care of yourself." Su Changsheng waved to him, "You take good care too."

Turning around, he discreetly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Meng Qinghao, on the other hand, took a few hurried steps away. When he reached the corner where Su Changsheng could no longer see him, he squatted behind a tree and started to cry.

How many years had it been since he last cried?

Let this be the last time, Meng Qinghao.

In the future, the responsibility on your shoulders will be even greater.

Goodbye, grandfather.

Goodbye, military district compound.

Goodbye, Capital City.
