The leaves outside the window have turned yellow and are falling down like butterflies fluttering in the sky.

Bonnie took out the thick coat she had just made at Xu Meifeng's place; it felt nice to the touch.

"Sixty-nine, Xuanyi, it's getting cold, wear this thick coat."

Liu Jiu looked at the clothes in her mother's hands. They were newly made and looked very thick.

"Mom, did you get it done at Aunt Meifeng's?"

"Hmm, this is the new fabric your Aunt Meifeng found. Why don't you two try it on and see if it fits?"

Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi took the clothes, put them on, and found them to fit well and be very comfortable.

"Mom, it's very comfortable. It's a little big, but I can still wear it next year."

It's not too tight, looks sturdy, and is quite comfortable to wear.

"Second Aunt, isn't she very pretty?"

"Yes, very handsome!"

The two children left in high spirits. Even though they were only six or nine years old, they were very happy to be wearing new clothes.

After seeing the two older children off, I took out Sanqi's clothes, as well as Xuanyu's, and told him to come back and pick them up when he had time.

When Sanqi went out wearing her new clothes, she adjusted the collar of her clothes several times and made sure that the clothes were straight and wrinkle-free before she went to school with peace of mind.

Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi, both dressed in smart new overcoats, caused quite a stir.

At that time, the clothes were still made in a rather loose-fitting style, and the colors were black, white, and gray.

Liu Jiu's clothes are brown, which is uncommon, and the style is novel. It is not the kind of baggy cut, but a classic trench coat style that is close to a slim fit.

"Gu Xuanyi, where did you buy these clothes? They look really good!"

Du Haitao looked at his thin cotton-padded jacket, which was not only bulky but also had two pockets in the front. It was a world of difference!

"The tailor shop that did it is Meifeng Tailor Shop near our compound."

Gu Xuanyi gave Aunt Meifeng a boost in advertising, which brought in a wave of business, but that's another story.

Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi exchanged a glance, their conversation remaining discreet and unnoticed.

The fourth-grade student in the elementary school was also surrounded by onlookers; even a fourth-grader like him knows about beauty and ugliness.

"Gu Xuanming, your clothes look really good!"

Sanqi glanced at the female classmate who was speaking; she had two braids tied with bows.

"What kind of eyesight do you have? I'm not as good-looking as the clothes. Are you nearsighted? Go home and have your mom take you to see an eye doctor."

Sanqi's serious words brought tears to the little girl's eyes; there was nothing wrong with her eyes, after all.

"You can't stand hearing the truth? What I said is absolutely right!"

Sanqi frowned. Girls were too much trouble, except for his sister.

At Beijing Railway Station, Gu Ye came to see Cao Wenze off.

"Brother Wenze, thank you so much this time. The old lady is recovering well."

"No need for formalities. Now that the old lady can take care of herself, you'll have fewer troubles. Gu Ze isn't in Beijing, and you're already quite tired with all sorts of relationships and things to deal with. Take care of yourself."

Cao Wenze returned with a bang, not only saving a high-ranking official and gaining public attention, but also helping Old Lady Gu with her medical treatment and treating many other patients. Most importantly, he made things difficult for the Yang family.

He's happy when others are unhappy. Even though he can't kill his enemies, he feels a little comforted when he sees them suffer.

"Brother Wenze, you guys won't be leaving the south anytime soon, will you?"

"No, your sister-in-law is doing well. I'm always treating patients and saving lives, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, I won't be leaving for at least ten or eight years."

We'll see how things go after the children get into university.

Cao Wenze didn't want to come to Beijing; he didn't want to breathe the same air as the Yang family. Besides, his wife was doing quite well there.

The train pulled into the station, and Cao Wenze prepared to board.

"Gu Ye, take care, keep in touch."

"The same goes for Wenze."

The train rumbled away, and who knows when we'll meet again.

After Cao Wenze left, the people in the compound had another round of discussion. During this time, many people went to the hospital to register and see Dr. Cao, and the results were really good.

The Yang family had just calmed down from the injustice, frustration, and sadness caused by Cao Wenze's return, and now this was brought up again. Comrade Wu felt a pain in his chest and felt uncomfortable all over.

She couldn't do anything. Not only would Lao Yang forbid it, but she also couldn't do anything to the people Cao Wenze had just saved. She felt even more frustrated.

Grandma Gu, who has returned to the retirement home, is recovering well. She can walk slowly and has no problem taking care of herself.

Gu Xiangdong moved to the retirement home, and the newly hired caregiver is very responsible; everything is going well. Everyone in the retirement home and compound says that Gu Ye is filial, and Dr. Cao is not so easy to hire.

Gu Ye hadn't thought of that; he just wanted to avoid trouble and not give anyone cause for criticism.

The adult world is full of violence and bloodshed, and the children's world is not so simple either.

From the moment Gu Xuanyi entered the school, he stole the show, prompting the teachers to want to talk to his parents about not dressing their child up too extravagantly, as it could affect his studies.

After the second period in the morning, Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi left the classroom one after the other.

"Six-Nine, will there be any news today?"

Gu Xuanyi is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with his hair combed into a sleek style and wearing a neat overcoat, giving him the look of a noble young master from the Republican era.

"There should be some. When you get back to class, don't act too strangely. First, find out which subject's homework it is."

Liu Jiu thought Gu Xuanyi's outfit was quite intimidating. He attracted a lot of attention when he arrived in the morning, and she was sure that one of the envelopes belonged to him.

After exchanging a few more words, Gu Xuanyi returned to the classroom first, plopped down in his seat, and looked at the composition book on the desk. He felt a little uneasy, wondering if there would be an envelope underneath.

Calming down, he naturally picked up the composition book, and below it, a pink envelope lay quietly on the table.

Gu Xuanyi quickly put it away, looked around, and saw that there were only a few people in the classroom, and their target was not there either.

Never mind, let's talk about it after school at noon. He needs to discuss it with Liu Jiu.

When Liu Jiu came back, he saw the composition book on the table and had already guessed the answer pretty accurately.

Liu Jiu was not familiar with Liang Xiaocao, the class representative for Chinese, and they had never been in the same class before.

Liu Jiu didn't look for the girl; instead, he focused on attending class and listening attentively, deciding to deal with everything after school at noon.

Gu Xuanyi didn't have Liu Jiu's self-control. Although he didn't look at the class representative for Chinese, he still couldn't concentrate. He was called on twice by the teacher before he forced himself to listen attentively.

Liu Jiu glanced back at him, her gaze a little unsettling. This time, she focused and dared not let her mind wander again.

The school bell finally rang, and Gu Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, quietly put the letter in his pocket, and walked out of the classroom.

"Sixty-nine, we..."

"Let's go eat first, I'm hungry, we'll talk after we eat."

Liu Jiu was hungry and didn't want to waste time arguing with Gu Xuanyi, so she grabbed her lunchbox and ran to the cafeteria first.

Gu Xuanyi walked behind with the lunchbox in his hand. What's wrong with him? Eating is more important than his brother. There's no one else but Gu Liujiu.

After Liu Jiu finished eating and washing her lunchbox, she waved to Gu Xuanyi, and the two walked towards the open space behind the teaching building to discuss how to resolve the matter.
