Lin Chengyu sighed, "I know, but we can't let him guess our situation. Let's leave him a letter separately later and ask him to pay more attention to the reason for Bai Mei's sudden change."

If he were smart, he would know to investigate himself. Bai Mei isn't particularly smart; if he were attentive, he would surely be able to discover her differences on his own.

"I'll do as you say. I'll go pack my things now and put all the valuable furniture and luggage into my ring space. You can stay in the study and help write a few letters to Zhang Xiang, Uncle, and Youjun in the village. As for Youying's letter, I'll write it myself in a bit."

Song Ziqing also felt that they couldn't expose their rebirth and time travel for the sake of someone they weren't very close to, since they already knew of at least five people who had been reborn or time traveled.

There are many unknown people around, and if they are accidentally exposed, there will definitely be endless trouble in the future.

Song Ziqing moved very quickly, and in no time at all, he had put all the furniture, antiques and luggage that could not be left at home into the ring space.

However, the Tang Sancai pottery remained in the bathroom of her home, left in its original place. She was most grateful for this Tang Sancai pottery, because it was because of its existence that she and Lin Chengyu were able to safely travel to Hong Kong.

Only then did she realize that Tang Sancai (Tang tri-colored pottery) had such wonderful uses, enabling people to travel through time and space, easily moving from one city to another.

In the middle of the night, accompanied by Lin Chengyu, Song Ziqing went to the beach and stored the fishing boat in his ring space.

When they returned to the room, they didn't light any candles. They stayed in complete darkness, knowing that once they left today, they would never be able to appear openly in front of others again, even if they came back.

The next day, when Song Youying arrived at the Song family courtyard early in the morning, she found that the gate was locked, and she knew that Song Ziqing and his wife had really left.

As if she had been mentally prepared, she took out the key that Song Ziqing had left her early in the morning, opened the gate, and stepped into the courtyard. She found that everything around her seemed to have stopped, and she knew that the two of them had already left.

Song Youjun followed behind her and entered the room first. He found that everything inside had been tidied up, and many beds and furniture were covered with coarse cloth.

Looking at the situation, Song Youying couldn't help but sigh, "Youying, my aunt and uncle are really gone! I wonder where they are now? Are they safe?"

"If they're quick, they'll already be halfway to Hong Kong. They might even arrive around dinner time. The fishing boat they're using this time was personally ordered by Grandpa; it's made of very high-quality materials."

Song Youying was filled with curiosity and longing for the outside world. She wanted to know what Hong Kong was like, whether the foreigners there were friendly, and whether her aunt and her family were safe there.

Her heart was filled with worry and concern. She hoped that her aunt and the others would be safe and sound, and she also hoped that she would have the opportunity to see that mysterious place.

Song Youjun found four letters on the dining table in the living room. He opened them one by one and found that two of them were addressed to Song Youying and Zhang Xiang, one was addressed to his grandfather, and the other was addressed to himself.

He felt a little down, as if he had become somewhat superfluous in the family.

He kept the letters from his grandfather and himself, gave the other two letters to Song Youying, and was somewhat jealous that Lin Chengyu had also left a separate letter for Zhang Xiang.

Song Youying took the letter and opened it eagerly, wanting to know what her aunt had said in it.

In the letter, the aunt described the various aspects of Hong Kong, including the freedom to travel there, the freedom to attend school, the many tall buildings, the bustling streets, and the many beautiful parks.

She also told Song Youying to study hard and not to give up even after graduating from high school, hoping that she could study hard and have the opportunity to visit Hong Kong in the future.

Song Youying was deeply moved and happy after reading the letter.

She thinks her aunt is very capable and brave, and is her pride and role model.

She folded the letter carefully and put it away. Then she said to Song Youjun, "Brother, Aunt said she will miss us and hopes that we will not give up our studies. If you don't understand something, you can ask Zhang Xiang and the other educated youth. After all, they are from the city and their knowledge and experience are better than ours."

Song Youjun nodded and said, "Okay, let's learn more about management in the future. This seafood drying workshop was destroyed, but we can rebuild a new one. We can visit the seafood drying factories in the city and see how they are managed and operated."

Song Youying said with a smile, "My aunt and uncle left us a set of university economics and management textbooks. They told us to study them ourselves. Those books are from my great-uncle's university courses."

After locking the courtyard gate, the two returned home. Song Youjun immediately gave the letter to his grandfather, saying, "Grandpa, my aunt and the others left last night. This is the letter they left for you."

Song Jingtao carefully opened the envelope and read the letter Lin Chengyu had written to him. After reading it, he asked the brother and sister to hand the letter to him, and he would keep it safe himself.

They couldn't let anyone see the letter, and they couldn't let anyone know that they knew where Song Ziqing and his wife were.

Otherwise, they might be in danger.

Seeing that Song Youying also had a letter in her hand, he quickly said, "Youying, you have to make sure Zhang Xiang finishes reading the letter and then make him destroy it in front of you. New educated youth are coming to their educated youth compound. If people who don't know the details find out about your aunt's existence, we might all be in trouble."

"By the way, Youying, your aunt and uncle mentioned in their letter that if you and Zhang Xiang get married, you can move into their courtyard. However, you can't stay in their bedrooms or their parents' bedrooms; you'll have to stay in other rooms."

Song Youying's eyes suddenly lit up. A few days ago, Zhang Xiang had mentioned marriage to her. At that time, the two of them were worried that they would have nowhere to live after getting married.

If they move into their aunt's house directly, and their circumstances improve later, they can buy a plot of land in the village and build their own house, just like Song Ziqing's. It doesn't need to be that big; just big enough for the two of them to live in.

They will build the courtyard right next to Song Ziqing's house, so that the couple can help take care of Song Ziqing's old house. It will also be quieter here, away from the sea, and backed by a hillside, making it much easier to go up the mountain.
