Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1123: Chapter 1124: I Have No Intention to Alter the Course of History

As they walked and stopped in the forest, both of them got tired, so they found a big rock by the stream to sit on. Qi Taiguo took out a coat from his bag and draped it over her.

”What are you doing, it’s so hot!” Cheng Su protested.

Qi Taiguo glared at her and said, ”You’ve got that thing going on, what if you catch a cold? The mountain wind in May is still quite chilly, put it on!”

”Bossy!” Cheng Su snorted lightly, but her heart felt sweet. This man was worrying about her.

Qi Taiguo then took out a thermos and poured her some hot water, and took out some snacks he bought along the way, peeling an egg for her as well.

Cheng Su couldn’t help but laugh and said, ”Look at you, like a nanny, it’s so funny.”

”You have something to eat and still can’t keep your mouth shut.” Qi Taiguo peeled an egg for himself and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, ”Look at all these people coming and going, who has a husband as good as yours? Who isn’t envious of you!”

”Just eat, but be careful you don’t choke!” Cheng Su said with a bit of annoyance, handing him some water as she looked out.

This year is 1987. It’s been some years since the economic reform and opening up. People’s economy is improving, they’re willing to spend money, and they’re open to new things.

Cheng Su noticed many people traveling either as couples, families, or young men and women. Everyone wore flared pants, vibrant colors, floral shirts made of Dacron, and some fashionably sported sunglasses, gathering to take photos in groups of three or five, which brought a smile to her face.

Actually, every era has its unique features and interesting aspects. Although it’s still the eighties now, many things that the 21st century doesn’t have can only be reminisced about.

”Thinking of something nice? Your smile’s peeking out!” Qi Taiguo noticed and asked.

”Nothing, just feel that people nowadays are quite interesting. Even though life isn’t particularly affluent, they’re easily satisfied and simple-hearted.” Cheng Su sighed, ”The further we go, the more depraved people become, committing all sorts of deceptions, sparing no means to make money and taking lives lightly, which is endless.”

Hearing the disheartened tone in her voice, Qi Taiguo patted her shoulder and said, ”Don’t think too much about it. Society is developing, and naturally, people are also developing—they’re getting smarter, which is a natural law, changing with the changes. Don’t think that people now seem harmless; they might turn bad, that’s bad people aging.”

”Yeah, getting smarter, but not using their wits for the right things!” Cheng Su’s expression turned sour.

”Just look on the bright side.” Qi Taiguo comforted, ”Listening to you talk so interestingly, I almost want to go see the future right now!”

Hearing this, Cheng Su turned her head and said with a half-smile, ”I’m afraid that by then, you’ll be longing for this simple and pure era again.”

”Maybe. Tell me about our country’s soldiers and weapons, they’ve probably changed a lot too, right?” Qi Taiguo’s eyes lit up.

Cheng Su hesitated for a moment and said seriously, ”Taiguo, I can tell you, but just listen to it. Everything follows its natural development rules. Although it’s somewhat incredible for me to return to this era, I have no intention of changing the course of history, nor do I intend to push it.”

She’s just a small human, and she knows the heavenly secrets can’t be leaked, so she doesn’t want to change anything significant in history, just goes along with it, both in life and in business. At most, she takes advantage of knowing a bit earlier and utilizes it.

”Being too wise can hurt, and extremes will reverse, I know!” Qi Taiguo nodded, ”I won’t ask anymore!”

”Don’t worry, our country will become stronger and more powerful.” Cheng Su said confidently.

Qi Taiguo smiled and changed the subject.
