"Haven’t I already said this?"
"Is it because she has no money? Can you feel that their family is running out of money?"
Wa Zicong didn’t say yes, but he didn’t say no either.
At that moment, the phone rang. Ou Yanan checked it; it was his phone.
It was a call from Tang Sili.
"My boss is planning to go back today. I might have to go back with him." Tang Sili, having rested well and woken up, suddenly remembered that he still had a student to look after, so he hurriedly made this call.
Ou Yanan of course understood what he meant. Xiao Yebai was leaving, and since Gu Nuan had married Xiao Yebai, she would definitely be going with her husband. In that case, why should Ou Yanan stay here?
"I understand, Professor. I’ve checked, and my holiday is just about over. I’ve only requested a few days off. I’ll leave this afternoon."
Tang Sili hadn’t expected him to be so decisive about leaving right away.
"Is that so?" Tang Sili could only say, "Then, take care, and give me a call once you get back to the hospital dormitory."
"Don’t worry, Professor. I’m not a little girl."
Tang Sili’s eyelids twitched involuntarily, reminding himself that he was indeed taking care of a young girl, escorting her back to the city.
After hanging up with his teacher, Ou Yanan walked over to the window in his room.
This window, just as Wa Zicong had described, slanted in view, allowing him to see the mottled exterior of the old Gu Family house.
His visit this time wasn’t to see Gu Nuan; his purpose wasn’t the old Gu Family house either. He was purely here to find Ou Chunhua.
Yet, after watching and waiting near the Gu Family home for so many days, in this county town, it seemed like no trace of Ou Chunhua had appeared.
Where had Ou Chunhua actually gone?
Ou Yanan narrowed his eyes and then picked up his phone to start booking tickets online. Here, the train tickets weren’t too difficult to obtain due to the low passenger volume.
Having heard that their daughter and son-in-law were leaving today, Gu Dad and Gu Mom felt it was sudden, but upon reflection, it made sense. If their child had something to attend to, as parents, they couldn’t keep her tied to them.
Logically, it made sense, but emotionally, it was somewhat hard to accept.
Gu Dad sat on a stool, fumbling for his cigarette pack. Finding none, he could only swallow his saliva, staring at the scenery outside with a somewhat vacant look.
The scenery of the estate was beautiful. After the torrential rain, the air was fresh. The green leaves that had been battered by the rain the night before absorbed the sunshine breaking through the clouds, radiating beautiful colors, full of life.
All of nature’s creations were resilient, like unkillable cockroaches.
Gu Mom walked over, seeing her husband spacing out at the doorway, tapped on Gu Dad’s shoulder, "With this time, why not go to the vegetable garden and pick more vegetables. They’re leaving soon. We should prepare a big meal, let them eat well and drink plenty before they set off."
Her words were sensible. Gu Dad immediately perked up and stood up.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Qi walked over and said, "Mr. Xiao said they might not eat dinner here. They need to catch a plane." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
A plane? Weren’t they taking a train?
Gu Mom and Gu Dad were both a bit stunned, at a loss.
It turned out that Xiao Yebai and the others had planned two routes. First, Zhao Mengjin and the Xiaos, Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shuzhu, were definitely going back to the city for treatment. The rest were in a rush to get to work, so they took a direct flight to another place.
