Hao Jiuhe returned home and said goodbye to his family.

The little ones even patted him on the shoulder.

"Uncle Jiu Jiu, you must come back soon, we will miss you."

Hao Jiuhe was very pleased.

"Okay, your uncle promises you, he'll come back as soon as possible."

The next day, Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai took Jiu Jiu to the airport.

"Jiujiu, check these things in and take them to your grandparents, uncles, and aunts."

"Cousin, you're really giving me a hard time. There's just too much stuff."

"It's alright, not much, they're all local specialties."

There are also dried vegetables grown in the park; you can just stir-fry them with a little water. I'll take some back for them to try.

"Okay, I'll bring everything, including the wine. I'll have my dad pick me up."

"Okay, you can go in now. Have a safe journey."

Hao Jiuhe waved to his cousin and cousin-in-law and entered the waiting hall.

Zhuang Zhimeng sighed.

"It's quite hard to get used to Jiu Jiu leaving."

An Qingbai asked his wife.

"Honey, should we find someone else to help out at the clothing store?"

"Forget it, let's just work harder ourselves."

My husband and my son are enough to help us.

Due to recent adjustments at Uncle Su's mine, Meng Ge'er won't be able to continue selling jade privately for the time being.

"Then you two can free up some time to help us."

"Yes, Uncle Su is very generous."

The money from selling jade was Mengmeng's allowance, so taking a break won't affect it.

By mid-November.

Hao Jiuhe suddenly returned.

"Jiu Jiu, why are you back so soon?"

"Hehe, I just dropped out of school."

The school doesn't agree to my graduating early, saying I have to study for another year.

I wouldn't do that, it's incredibly boring.

"I'm just going to take a leave of absence and quit."

Zhuang Zhimeng gave a thumbs up.

"You're something else, starting to rebel at twenty, that's a bit late."

"cousin…"

"Haha, come back if you want. As long as my uncle and the others know, I'll go with you."

Hao Jiuhe hesitated for a moment.

"Hehe, cousin, you have to help me! My mom absolutely refuses to agree, so I just ran away."

Zhuang Zhimeng was speechless. Just as she was about to criticize him, the phone rang.

Zhuang Zhimeng glared at her cousin as she looked at the number.

"Hehe, Auntie, hello there."

Du Yunshi was so angry she laughed.

"Jiu Jiu ran over there, right?"
