Chapter 62
In the 1990s, Su Fei and these college students had already become the backbone of this country. Their role played a huge role in various aspects of the country.
At the same time, the 1990s entered a period of rapid development, and the entire country began to develop rapidly. In terms of human and material resources, as well as heavy industry and other aspects, everyone exerted their abilities.
The influence of Hua Country began to strengthen from this period. It began to voice its opinions abroad, and the outside world paid more and more attention to this developing giant.
Hua Country was rapidly developing in all aspects, and its position in the world was becoming higher and higher.
Like awakened lion was roaring, and more and more foreigners began to understand this country. Whether it was in the tourism industry or other industries, everyone began to shine.
Foreigners wanted to understand Chinese culture and China’s current development. Understanding through literature was a more profound way. Therefore, the massive output of authors from Hua Country to the outside world was also a form of soft power.
As a new author, by the 1990s, Su Fei had already become a pillar of the author association. Her works were translated into various languages and exported to countries around the world.
Su Fei, with her unique style and characteristics, became a very distinctive and somewhat famous author.
Especially Su Fei’s works were not as painful as those of other authors, who often wrote very painful works to dig into suffering. Instead, her works were calm and warm, with their own unique characteristics. From her works, one could understand the current social situation and the calm and warm life of all citizens in society.
From her early works to her mid-term works, everyone could see Su Fei’s satisfaction with life, her sighs for a peaceful life, and her pride in being able to live in such a great and developing country.
Most of the time, Su Fei’s works had a unique feeling. She didn’t always write to express society; sometimes, she wrote to express a feeling.
In this increasingly complex and anxious society, people prefer to read some heartwarming works, works that warm the heart. Sometimes, even though everyone knows that society is cruel, they still want to believe that there is warmth in this society.
Su Fei’s works just brought this feeling of happiness to everyone. It made everyone feel that life in this world is truly wonderful, with all kinds of things waiting to be discovered and explored.
Su Fei gradually became the most popular author of traditional novels in popular fiction. Some of her novels, especially her early works, were adapted into films and TV series. This made her works more accessible to the general public. Everyone gradually became more familiar with Su Fei’s name.
This made Su Fei do her job better, and she was soon promoted to the head of the Department of Literature at Beijing University. Then she slowly rose to become the dean of the Department of Literature at Beijing University.
The children at home also grew up slowly and dispersed evenly. The eldest daughter, Big Chubby girl, had already entered high school and was preparing for college. It was a good time, and the school was preparing to allocate positions.
Su Fei knew that the other two children at home, Chubby Ball and Qiu Qiu, might not catch up with the good times, because the country was preparing to gradually expand the scale of university students, and by then, the allocation of jobs for university students would definitely be abolished.
The unfortunate Su Fei could only desperately fight for more capital for her children at home.
The 1990s were also a significant period for Su Fei to receive awards. Literary awards from many countries were awarded to Su Fei, an author who had already shown her talents internationally.
The Su family still lived harmoniously in this world, sometimes quarreling during normal times. However, they were still the closest relatives in this world, and no one could separate them.
After so many years of living with Ningning, Su Fei’s heart became more and more steadfast, and her temper became better. She became the kindest person among all the neighbors. After the three children grew up, Su Fei was afraid that Ningning would feel uncomfortable at home, so she encouraged her to go out and start a business, to spend money.
With so many years of good reputation, Ningning directly became the director of the street. During normal times, he dealt with miscellaneous matters between neighbors, and unexpectedly became a civil servant.
Ningning directly became the director of the street office, and whoever wanted him was already famous on this street. His three daughters were simply the reputation of this street.
Ningning’s career was the kingdom left behind by his three daughters. With the fame of his three daughters dominating elementary, middle, and high school, he was considered a heavyweight in the entire street.

Su Fei and their successful passage through the year 2000, this once-in-a-millennium moment, and in this year, they won the right to host the Olympics, which was so delightful.
Su Fei and Ningning were sixty years old and officially retired. After half a lifetime of struggle for this country, the two finally returned to a relaxed and leisurely life.
But the three children who were married, and those who were not, were all busy with their careers, and after getting married, they gave birth to many grandchildren.
Su Fei was really extremely annoyed. She really didn’t want to spend the rest of her life at home looking after these daughters’ children.
“Hurry up and take your children away!! Now that we’re retired, are we just here to look after your children?” Su Fei’s hair had turned white, but she still lived very delicately. Even so, she was still an exquisite old lady.
“You let us take care of your children while you enjoy family happiness, get lost!! Don’t think I don’t know what you and your partner are thinking. Hurry up and take your kids’ bags away, I won’t accept them here!!” Su Fei didn’t want her future life to revolve around her children.
She wanted to make the most of her youth while she could still move around, visiting all the places she wanted to go.
“Enough with this. Do you even believe what I just said? You all don’t need me for retirement, the country provides for me. We could do without your monthly pension, that would be great!! And even if you could, we don’t need it. So, relax, do whatever you want, now that you’re all grown up. I’ve fulfilled all my obligations, and I don’t want to take care of any more grandchildren.”
“And whether others like it or not. If you like it, listen to it, and don’t say anything else in front of me. If you don’t like it, then get lost!!” That’s right, as Su Fei gets older, her temper gets bigger.
The three chubby sisters, along with their partners and children, were utterly embarrassed by their mother’s scolding.
Even some of their partners were indignant, but Su Fei didn’t care about any of that. They could marry whoever they wanted and live whatever kind of life they desired.
“Dad, can’t you say something to mom? We’re all grown up now, but what if something happens when we’re not around?” Seeing that it wasn’t working, they quickly changed the subject. Since Su Fei, the head of the family, only listened to Ningning.
“I listen to your mom! He is the head of the family, and besides, you’ve already received everything from us. As for what’s left, whether we throw it away or donate it, you don’t have to worry about it anymore!” Ningning had always been very clear about his priorities, knowing where his focus should lie.
“We’re not worried about you for the sake of money or things. We genuinely want you to live a safe life.”
“No need, we’re pretty safe! As for you two, whether you have something or not, don’t come running to me for help. You all have your own jobs, why come to me every day? Take your kids home! Whoever gives birth to them should take care of them. Don’t leave them with us, and why should I take care of the little ones after raising the big ones! If you can give birth? Then why not raise them? If you can’t raise them? Go to the orphanage!” Su Fei rolled her eyes, crossed her legs, and said seriously, but who knew what they were thinking.
“Don’t worry about me and your dad, we’ve already signed up for global tourism! We won’t be in the country for the next two or three years. You all just stay well. After traveling abroad, we’ll go on the domestic ten-year plan. When we really can’t move, we’ll go to the nursing home, and you don’t need to take care of us. With my qualifications, the country will provide the best protection for me!”
Su Fei’s three children, along with their partners, were speechless at their parents.
Su Fei and Ningning began to enjoy the entire process of traveling, private jets, yachts… Everything they wanted to enjoy, Su Fei planned to experience with Ningning.
During their travels, Su Fei also went to various countries for inspiration and completed her final three novels as a writer’s farewell works.
“Life’s Journey” and “Lover” surpassed Su Fei’s best records directly, becoming sensational works.
At the age of seventy, Su Fei finally won the highest literary honor, the Nobel Prize, becoming the first writer in Hua Country to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The entire Hua Country was in an uproar, with media coverage and hot searches, all featuring Su Fei’s biography. At the same time, her works were once again in the spotlight. Everyone held one or two books by Su Fei in their hands. People were not only amazed by her literary talent and style but also very curious about Su Fei’s personal life.
The media also reported extensively on the relationship between Su Fei and Ningning, but after more than thirty years, no one could break them apart. It wasn’t for lack of effort to dig into their relationship, but because it was too difficult to do so.
The person who caused such a big stir didn’t respond because she and Ningning were deep in the African savannah, where there was no signal.
Finally contacting the two, Su Fei took Ningning to Sweden for the award ceremony. The whole ceremony was broadcast live, and people all over the world were curious about the Nobel Prize winner.
Then the whole world was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food! Because Su Fei directly gave the trophy to Ningning as a gift for their wedding anniversary.
“The Sincere Love of the Nobel Prize!”
“If someone treats you like this, marry them!!”
Ignoring the gaze of others, Su Fei and Ningning lived very well! And the attention of the whole world was drawn to these two people. Su Fei, as a modern person from the past, was certainly not unfamiliar with today’s smartphones and gadgets.
Especially after Su Fei became famous, many paparazzi appeared in front of them. Su Fei directly applied for a Weibo account and posted information about herself every day.
So, Antarctic exploration, volcano adventures, seaside wandering… There’s nothing they can’t travel to if they can’t think of it! Just follow Su Fei and Ningning’s Weibo accounts, and you can travel around the world.
More often than not, they posted things about their relationship, one dog food after another, sprinkling it over this beautiful world!
“Did everyone see it? Today’s Weibo headlines are still Su’s daily love poems, look at the poetic phrases she writes, so poetic! Look at the love in her life, it’s so touching!” Teachers in various schools, especially Chinese teachers, began to vent their frustrations to their students.
“…Hmm! This dog food is so delicious!!” The students were already numb to it. Ha! Showing off affection!! They bullied them for not being able to date early.
At the same time, Su Fei and Ningning’s attitude towards life directly influenced many retired workers. They also began to learn, travel, or improve themselves everywhere. Making the most of their remaining energy!
Su Fei and Ningning lived until they were very old, so old that they couldn’t move anymore. Slowly, they closed their eyes.
“I… am really happy!… Being with you is very joyful!” Ningning said his last words from the bottom of his heart. He felt that spending his life with Su Fei was his greatest happiness.
Although Su Fei couldn’t move anymore, her mind was still agile, and she thought, “Silly goose, I am too! I am too! Being with you in this life is truly joyful. In the next life, you must come find me!”
“Yeah! In the next life, I will definitely find you.”
“Okay, we agreed!”
