Grandma Tao bought another cup of milk tea: a three-ingredient milk tea with coconut jelly, pudding, and pearls, and it was full sugar.

In my memory, the little girl hardly ever drank it, saying that she couldn't sleep at night after drinking it and her heart would pound.

But Grandma Tao saw that many young girls were drinking it.

I wanted to try it myself, so I paid sixteen yuan.

Seeing that a small bucket of milk tea costs sixteen yuan, I couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

This thing is only sixteen?

They could have just robbed it, but instead they gave themselves a drink.

With trembling hands, I inserted the straw and carefully took a sip.

We can't waste a single drop of this expensive water.

I took a sip and my eyes lit up instantly. This stuff is actually really delicious.

He followed the crowd with light steps, his eyes following the movements of those who entered.

He followed suit and went in too.

I opened my phone and realized for the first time that I could see so clearly even when I was close by.

Although the little girl wears glasses, it's still much better than when she had cataracts.

Grandma Tao does not assign seats; she is randomly assigned seat B.

When I arrived, there was already a woman who looked to be in her thirties sitting outside.

Without thinking, Grandma Tao said, "Child, my seat is inside."

Wang Yi had initially thought that Grandma Tao was sitting next to her, but the moment she heard the word "child," she froze.

"Miss... beautiful lady, my seat is inside." Grandma Tao immediately realized that she was no longer a seventy-year-old woman.

Instead, they are young people in their thirties.

"You're really funny." Wang Yi immediately stood up.

"I'm sorry, you're too young. You look like you're only in your early twenties," said Mrs. Tao apologetically.

"Don't be silly, being sweet-talking is fine, but going too far is a bit greasy." Although Wang Yi knew the man was lying, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Because when he called his own name just now, his eyes were full of sincerity.

"Where are we going?" Wang Yi asked with a smile.

"Going to Shenyang, what about you?" Old Mrs. Tao did not hide anything.

Things are different now than they were back then.

There were cameras everywhere at that time.

Everyone's mobile phone has a location tracking feature.

As long as you don't go to particularly remote places, you don't need to worry about being trafficked.

However, there are more scammers now than there were back then.

I've heard that some people have even been tricked into going abroad.

However, Grandma Tao was self-aware enough not to make a lot of money herself, nor did she try to take advantage of others.

"What a coincidence! I'm going there too, but I'm on a business trip. Are you going there for fun? I know a lot of fun places to visit," Wang Yi explained with a smile.

“No, I go often.” Grandma Tao didn’t speak to Wang Yi again.

The main problem is that I'm an old lady, and my mind doesn't process things very quickly.

The young girl's body was in terrible shape, and her mind wasn't as clear as mine at seventy years old.

This woman seems quite shrewd; I hope she's not a con artist.

That young girl is still worth being fooled.

So I took out the earphones and put them in my ears.

When Wang Yi saw that Tao Ying had wired earphones that weren't even plugged into her phone, and was pretending to listen to music, she noticed...

Knowing that the other person didn't want to talk to him, he closed his eyes.

After plugging in her earphones, Grandma Tao was ready to listen to music, but little did she know that there was no music playing at all.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised and confused, since I clearly saw that all the young girls listened to music in this way.

After recalling my memory, I realized that I had made a mistake in my process.

He quickly plugged the earphones back in.

It took me ages to finally hear the song.

Tao Ying doesn't like listening to music, so she doesn't have any music apps on her phone.

After a whole hour of fumbling around, I finally heard the sound again.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and lean back in my chair.

Wang Yi didn't say another word to Grandma Tao until she got off the bus.

Grandma Tao also felt relieved.

I'm afraid of people I don't know well talking to me.

After getting off the train, Grandma Tao hailed a taxi and went directly to the address of her old corrugated steel tile house.

The driver didn't say anything, took Grandma Tao to her destination, and left.

Grandma Tao only understood the meaning behind the driver's expression when she saw the actual scene.

Because there's only a road in this place, nothing else.

I went to inquire about where Wang Baojun and Wang Baoshan worked, but there were no such people there at all.

So who am I? Where have I gone? Where have my sons gone?

Grandma Tao stared blankly at the screen.

I also went to Wang Baojun's workplace to inquire.

Without even thinking about it, nobody knew this person existed.

Wang Baoshan is self-employed, so there's no way to contact him.

There really hasn't been any news at all.

For a moment, Old Mrs. Tao was on the verge of collapse.

Could it be that Wang Baojun and Wang Baoshan have really disappeared?

Although Grandma Tao was disappointed in the two of them, they were, after all, the children she had raised from childhood.

There's still a sliver of hope. I'm curious to see what this child will look like.

In the end, Grandma Tao found a room by herself.

Lying blankly in bed, I didn't know if these few people didn't exist in this world at all, or if they had all moved away with their families.

It's not impossible that this is the case.

Could it be that he froze to death, and his granddaughter seized this only chance?

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. I should just settle down for now.

Now that I'm in such a rush, my head is starting to hurt.

Grandma Tao didn't want to go through what had happened before.

So the next day, Grandma Tao started strolling around the city, walking quite a distance before finally reaching a tourist attraction.

Then I started thinking about buying a house again.

It was impossible to stay in the hospital forever, and after arriving here, Grandma Tao surprisingly didn't want to leave.

Because everything here, from the accent to everything else, feels very familiar.

I have some spare cash on hand, so I thought I'd just keep it anyway?

It would be better to buy a ground-floor house with a small yard, where you can grow some grapes.

When the grapes grow up, put tables and chairs underneath them, and you can sit and wait.

Whether you plant vegetables on the side, smooth it out with cement, or plant vegetables directly, it's all fine.

Grandma Tao went to the place where her house had been demolished before.

After the old house was demolished, residential buildings were built in its place.

Grandma Tao originally wanted to buy a set.

After all, it's hard to leave one's homeland, and most of those neighbors are still there.

However, Wang Baojun said he needed the money, so Grandma Tao didn't have the money to buy a house and gave most of her money to Wang Baojun.

Tao Laoshi (Grandma Tao) truly gave Wang Baojun her whole heart.

But in the end, there was nothing left.

Thinking of this, Grandma Tao couldn't help but feel regret.

Why be biased? They are all your own children. Can't you treat them equally?

But what's the use of knowing all this now?

We can never go back to the way things were. If I could go back, I would definitely slap Wang Baojun twice across the face.
