  "Yes, mom took me to grandma's house to take a look, maybe I'll be studying in the provincial city. ", Gu Wanwan was full of pride, after all, she was a 15-year-old little girl, and no matter how clever she was, in front of her older sister, such a good thing would naturally have to be shown off.

  Gu Anan didn't notice the expression on Gu Wanwan's face at all, but was thinking to herself: if they went back, would they still be able to return to this mountain village? She asked tentatively, "Will you come back?" As she spoke, she stared intently at Tang Lanxi, not missing any expression on her face. Ever since she had accepted the memories of her original body, she knew that the thing her original body feared most was happening: Tang Lanxi was going to return to the city. Over the past two years, policies had gradually relaxed, and sent-down youths could now return to the cities. This news was like a timely rain in a long drought, making all the sent-down youths restless with longing.

  They have left their homes in rural villages and gone back to the cities, where they can live a better life, without wanting families or children.

  Gu Anan's sharp words hit the nail on the head, especially with her clear and calm eyes, making Tang Lanxi feel a bit uneasy and guilty. After all, she had obtained the proof of returning to the city by taking advantage of her husband's absence while he was out running long-distance, and had secretly asked Gu Anan's second uncle, Gu Weifu, for it. Gu Weifu was the most beloved son of the old master of the Gu family and also the head of the village team, so getting a proof from him was naturally no problem.

  Tang Lanqi's silence made the atmosphere in the house even more depressing.

  Gu Anan was sad not because the woman was leaving, but because she didn't care about anyone in this family, especially her eight-year-old son, and Tang Lanzhi didn't care at all.

  Her face turned pale, she closed her eyes, "Dong Dong? You don't want Dong Dong?", this is a piece of meat that fell from Tang Lanzhi's belly, and it's still attached.

  Tang Lanzhi was a bit flustered, and the cloth bag in her hand was unconsciously clenched tightly. She stuttered, "I... I'll be back." These words, she herself didn't believe them. Tang Lanzhi's hometown was in the provincial city, where her parents worked at an iron and steel factory, holding relatively high positions. However, years ago, to keep her two younger brothers from being sent to the countryside, she had been abandoned by her family. Later, she followed the factory's assignment and came to Gu's Village, which was the most remote place.

  She has grievances against her family members, and for over a decade, she hasn't returned home even once. In the past, it was because of lack of means, but later on, when conditions improved and her children grew up, she simply lost interest in doing so.

  But this time Gu Weiqiang's warning thoroughly hurt Tang Lanzhi's heart. In her opinion, all the best things at home should be given to their younger daughter.

  Her husband has to take care of this family, okay!

  She accompanied him... but!

  Nowadays, the quota for going to school in the city can only be given to the eldest daughter, not the younger daughter. Isn't this cutting flesh from her heart?

  Tang Lan Zhi then moved her thoughts, the educated youth returning to the city could have a family quota, she thought and thought, this quota was given to her youngest daughter. Although she also loved her youngest son, Gu Dongdong was the root of the Gu family's fourth house, and the old lady at home would not let her take him away.

  Instead, she took away her youngest daughter, and the old lady would not see her anyway, and would rather turn a blind eye.

  As for Gu Weiqiang, this man, when he privately warned her not to fight for Anan's school quota, when he handed over his salary to the old lady time and again, when he wronged her little daughter, their fate was exhausted.

  Gu Anan opened her eyes, her gaze clear and calm. Her body shook violently as she spoke in a firm tone, "You can leave, but leave the tickets behind. I need to go to the city for school next year, and Dongdong needs to start elementary school, all of which will cost money." If she wasn't mistaken, Tang Lan Zhi had just stuffed all the tickets from their four rooms into her cloth pouch.

  Tang Lanji hesitated, but Gu Wanwan glared at Gu Anan, thinking she was being too outspoken.

  Gu Anan took advantage of the situation, "We've already lost our mother and are the laughing stock of the village. If we lose the last bit of money and tickets we have left, we'll have to drop out of school."

  Lost her mother, three words, became the last straw on Tang Lanzhi's body, making her breathless.

  She dotes on her little daughter, but cannot deny that Gu An'an and Gu Dongdong are also flesh and blood from her body.

  It seems like Tang Lan Zhi is about to agree.

  Gu Wanwan stood up straight and said, "I can give it to you, but you have to take us to the village entrance."

  "It's all right," An said, and without another thought, she took the quilted jacket from the bed and wrapped it around her soft body, then headed out.

  It wasn't until she came out that she realized the entire Gu family was eerily quiet, without a single sound. Even the usually rambunctious Gu Dongdong was nowhere to be found. She stared at the tightly closed door and asked, "Where did Dongdong and the others go?"

  It seems that she is going to leave this house, Gu Wanwan was somewhat excited, she rolled her eyes and replied in a rare good mood, "Gu Ermazi is getting married today, they went to help, Dongdong also went."

  Upon hearing this, Gu Anan tightened her coat and smiled wryly, "No wonder...". No wonder she chose to leave home at this time. She must have thought that with her own mother and sister watching over the house, it was safe to go out.

  Gu Wanwan was suddenly annoyed, no wonder what?

  She glared at Gu An'an with hatred in her eyes.

  The footsteps under her feet also quickened with Tang Lanxi.

  The Gu family's house is in a good location, because Old Man Gu is the village head, and it's the turn of the second son of the Gu family, who is also the team leader of the Gu Village Brigade. Therefore, the house is located right in the center of the village, but Tang Lan and her mother are uneasy!

  Afraid of running into acquaintances, what if we can't walk away, what to do?

  She took a detour, and it was snowing, the road was slippery, and it was not easy to walk. Gu An'an had never walked on such a muddy and slippery road before, and she fell several times along the way.

  She was stubborn and didn't say a word, she had made up her mind to follow Tang Lanzhi. After they reached the village entrance, she took all the tickets and money from them. That was the foundation for the brother and sister's future survival.

  After a long and winding road, they finally arrived at the village entrance. Gu An'an, who had been silent all along, suddenly shook his body, stretched out his hand, and grunted, "Give me money."

  Tang Lanji lowered her head and was about to untie her cloth bag.

  Gu Wanwan pressed down on her bundle of clothes and turned around, saying, "Sister, we still have a long way to go to the provincial city, and there are quite a few places where we'll need to spend money."

  "So?"

  Gu Wanwan stomped her foot, "This wooden big sister of mine is getting more and more out of touch with reality. She continued, 'You and Dongdong are at home with Dad taking care of you, without spending a dime, but it's my mom and I who went to the provincial city. What if grandma doesn't like us? At that time, this money and ticket will be our lifeline.'"
