"Grandma Guiying, Zhou Yue is leaving soon. Go upstairs and talk to her. We're here to make sure things don't get in the way," Aunt Zhong said to Liang Guiying.
"Okay, I'll go up and take a look."
Liang Guiying went upstairs and saw Zhou Yue staring intently at Zhou Xiaonian on the bed. She sighed softly and stepped inside: "Zhou Yue, have you packed your things?"
"It's all packed up."
Zhou Yue packed a few sets of clothes and some books related to aviation that her father had left behind.
She was a little sad: "I forgot to take a picture with Niannian today."
“I took some pictures of Niannian when I took her out a few days ago. Take them with you. If possible, I will send you Niannian’s photos every month or three months.”
"Oh right, bring these bankbooks with you too."
Zhou Yue opened the three savings books one by one. The first two contained five thousand yuan each, and both were in her name.
The third savings account was also in her name, and it contained a full 12,000 yuan!
Zhou Yue was startled: "Grandma Niannian, where did you get so much money? Did you get it from Zheng Fangshu?"
“Even if you sold Zheng Fangshu, he wouldn’t be worth that much money. I earned this money, so you can take it and spend it without worry.”
“I don’t need the money in the army, so please keep this money with me.” Zhou Yue took all the cash out of the cabinet. “This was given to me by Zheng Fangshu, please keep it for me as well…”
"You silly girl, you've given me all the money, what are you going to do?" Liang
Guiying accepted the cash from her and then personally stuffed three bankbooks into Zhou Yue's arms. "Zhou Yue, never trust people too much, and always leave yourself a way out. This money is your way out. Hold on tight."
Zhou Yue clutched the bankbook tightly, her eyes welling up with tears: "Okay."
“Niannian is still asleep. Could you write a few things for me, just write…”
Liang Guiying didn't want to disturb Zhou Yue and Niannian's time together, so she went downstairs after Zhou Yue finished writing.
With the help of several neighbors, and by borrowing Mrs. Chang's stove, dinner was ready in no time.
Apart from Uncle Zhong staying to eat with us, everyone else who helped quietly left.
Liang Guiying asked Uncle Zhong for their names and room numbers, planning to thank them properly when she had the chance in the future.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaonian woke up.
She seemed to know her mother was going on a long journey, so she clung to Zhou Yue's neck and wouldn't let go, whimpering. After Liang Guiying took her in, she buried her face in Liang Guiying's shoulder and wailed, "Mommy, I want Mommy, I want Mommy..."
Zhou Yue could barely move her legs.
Gu Yunzheng said, "You can still back out now."
Zhou Yue gritted her teeth and said to her crying daughter, "Niannian, Mommy is going to become a very powerful person and will be back soon. You stay at home with Grandma and listen to Grandma!"
The little girl had no idea about being powerful or not; all she wanted was her mother.
Amid the little girl's heart-wrenching cries, Zhou Yue boarded the military vehicle.
As the military vehicle sped away into the night, Liang Guiying hugged her granddaughter tightly, unable to hold back her tears.
Zhou Yue is going to follow in her father's footsteps. I wonder what hardships she will have to endure. With her gentle nature, can she handle it?
—She can definitely do it!
Liang Guiying silently encouraged Zhou Yue.
I also encouraged myself.
Because for her and Niannian, the challenges were just beginning.
