Father Yan looked at the girl who had been out for such a long time and asked worriedly, "Why did you take so long to see your brother off? If you don't come back, I will go out to look for you."

Yan Sisi couldn't say much in the ward, so she could only make up a story: "I ran into a classmate at the door and chatted for a while."

Gu Sheng, who was lying down to rest, listened to the conversation between the father and daughter and asked curiously, "Xiao Yan, is your daughter still in school?"

"Yes, she dropped out of school a few years ago, and just went to high school this year." Yan's father didn't know how to say it directly. The guards were too ferocious in the school a few years ago, so he didn't dare to let his daughter continue to go to school.

This year, the country resumed the college entrance examination, and ordinary people can also go to university through the examination, unlike before when they could only go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University through recommendation.

Gu Sheng nodded and said kindly, "Little girl, study hard and try to get into a good university."

Life is really good these days, unlike when they were kids and had no school to go to, and had to squat under the teacher’s window every day to study secretly.

Yan Sisi stood beside her father's bed and nodded obediently, "Of course, my goal is to go to a university in Beijing."

In her dream, she committed suicide before she even had time to take the college entrance examination. She will definitely not repeat this mistake. She will strive to get into a good university, learn more knowledge, broaden her horizons, and not let herself be trapped in her own world.

She used to care too much about other people's opinions, but now she no longer cares about that. She wants to live for herself and her family.

Father Yan smiled happily and praised: "My daughter is ambitious. If we want to take the exam, we should take the best one. I think Beijing University will be fine."

Yan Sisi could only smile silently and say nothing in response to this. Dad, you really think too highly of her. Is it possible for her to be admitted to Beijing University?

Facing her father's expectant expression, she could only turn around and pick up the lunch box, "Dad, I'm going home first."

"Okay, drive slowly on the road, and don't come to deliver food to me in the evening. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so remember to get some rest."

Yan Sisi nodded, and then smiled and said hello to Grandpa Gu next to her, "Goodbye, Grandpa Gu."

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road."

After saying hello, Yan Sisi walked out of the ward carrying her lunch box and walked straight forward. As soon as she reached the corner, she bumped into someone with a "bang".

Yan Sisi covered her sore nose, looked up at the man she had bumped into with tears in her eyes, and apologized subconsciously: "I'm sorry."

"Are you okay?"

The two voices rang out at the same time. Gu Jingping looked down at the little girl whose eyes were wet after being hit, and then apologized: "I'm sorry."

Yan Sisi rubbed her sore nose and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, I just walked too fast."

After saying that, Yan Sisi apologized again. Seeing that the other party was obviously fine, she walked around his tall figure and continued walking towards the stairs.

Gu Jingping looked back at the little girl walking towards the stairs, then walked forward to Grandpa's ward and called out, "Grandpa."

Gu Sheng looked at his grandson who came in from the door and asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be at the Guoxiang Restaurant?"

Gu Jingping said calmly: "Come to see you."

Gu Sheng looked at his grandson's expressionless face and said unhappily, "I get angry when I see you. You didn't go to the dinner I arranged for you. If you keep doing this, when will I be able to have a grandson?"

It seems that the blind date arranged this time was seen through by the brat again. Alas, if it weren't for the fact that the daughter of Xiao Yan's family already had a boyfriend, they could have introduced him to her. Otherwise, the good daughter would have been snatched away by someone else.

=======

Before Yan Sisi reached the door of her house with her lunch box, she saw her cousin Yan Qianqian standing at the door looking around. Before she could say hello, her cousin looked over at her.

Yan Qianqian waited at the door for a long time. When she saw her cousin finally come back, she immediately smiled and said, "Sisi, you're back."

"Sister, why are you here? Have you returned to the city?" Yan Sisi didn't expect to see the heroine whom she hadn't seen for several years at the door of her house. Her hand subconsciously touched the wooden bracelet covered by the sweater.

"Well, I came to see you yesterday, and your aunt said you were out." Yan Qianqian nodded with a smile, looking at her cousin who was wearing sheepskin boots and a bright red sweater and looked more and more delicate, and suppressed the slight unhappiness in her heart.

Yan Sisi approached her cousin and saw her haggard face at first sight. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot in the countryside. In the book, her cousin was described as kind and not afraid of hardship, which was completely different from the domineering character in her memory. Could it be that life in the countryside finally changed her character?

Yan Qianqian looked at her cousin who was walking to the door, walked up to her and held her arm affectionately, staring at the bandage on her head and said distressedly: "How did you get your head injured? Also, I just heard some rumors downstairs, what's going on?"

Yan Sisi couldn't stand her cousin's sudden enthusiasm. You know, their relationship was not good before going to the countryside. On the contrary, because they were both girls, they were treated differently. Her cousin's attitude towards her had always been hostile and sharp.

It's only been a few years since he went to the countryside, but his personality has changed so much!

Yan Sisi pulled her arm free from her cousin's grasp, took out her key, opened the door, and responded, "I bumped into him by accident. What rumors are there outside?"

In fact, she could guess without being told that they were definitely talking about her falling into the water again.

"Don't you know yet? They said that you fell into the water a few days ago, and the family who rescued you came to propose marriage." Yan Qianqian followed behind and said everything she heard, carefully observing her cousin's reaction.

Seeing Sisi's calm reaction, Yan Qianqian couldn't help but feel the urge to destroy her calm expression, but she held back when she thought of the purpose of her visit.

Yan Sisi turned around and stared at her cousin calmly and asked, "Oh, cousin, what are you doing here?"

Seeing her cousin's calmness, Yan Qianqian couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "How can you be so calm? You should know how important reputation is to a girl. You just let them say that to you."

Yan Qianqian originally thought that her cousin would be sad and cry after hearing the rumors outside, and then she could take the opportunity to comfort and care for her. In this way, their relationship would be closer and she could find out what she wanted without leaving any trace.

Yan Sisi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her cousin's tone finally return to normal. She felt goosebumps all over her body when her cousin suddenly became so gentle to her. She replied nonchalantly, "Just tell me, cousin. Is this why you came to see me?"

There is no such thing as a visitor without a reason. He just came back to the city and he ran to her house. She wouldn't believe him if he said there was nothing wrong.

Yan Qianqian looked at her cousin's cold reaction. It seemed that she couldn't get close to her by showing concern. Thinking of the purpose of her visit, she lowered her eyes to Yan Sisi's wrist. She didn't see the bracelet she wanted to see. She took her cousin's hand and opened her sweater. Looking at the bracelet that was completely different from before, she asked nervously, "Sisi, where is the bracelet you were wearing before?"

My cousin should still be wearing the bracelet on her hand at this time, how come it’s gone?

Yan Sisi was startled when she didn't notice it. It was not until she saw the wooden bracelet had changed its appearance that she felt relieved and pulled back her wrist that was hurt. She frowned and asked, "Sister, you hurt me. What kind of bracelet is that?"

"Is it that gray wooden bracelet?" Yan Qianqian asked hurriedly. That bracelet was her space bracelet, so how come it was not on her cousin's hand?

"Wooden bracelet?" Yan Sisi's heart skipped a beat. She pretended to recall something before calming down and saying, "That one, I haven't worn it for a long time."

But she was extremely nervous. Why did her cousin suddenly pay attention to the wooden bracelet she was wearing? She had to know that when she was a child, she had laughed at the ugly bracelet she wore. Could her cousin have also had a dream?

Yan Qianqian stared at her cousin's white jade bracelet with red eyes, muttering, "Why is she not wearing it anymore? How is that possible?"

Yan Sisi was quite confused when she saw this reaction, but she just didn't know what kind of dream her cousin was having.

Yan Sisi pretended to know nothing and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Qianqian calmed down after her cousin called her. She suppressed her anxiety and asked awkwardly, "Sisi, do you remember where you put the wooden bracelet? I have a friend who likes wooden bracelets like this, and I promised to help her find out since I remembered you had one."

Yan Sisi pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't know. I haven't worn it for several years. How can I remember where I put it?"

"That guy particularly likes wooden bracelets." Yan Qianqian looked at her cousin who didn't react, and could only grit her teeth and say, "My friend said that as long as he likes the wooden bracelet, the price is not a problem."

"Sister, you haven't been scammed, have you?"

"How is that possible? Help me find it and I will definitely sell it to you at a good price."

"That depends on when my mom comes back. She's the one who tidies up everything in the house."

"Can you look for it first? My friend needs it urgently."

"There's no point in being anxious. I'll talk to you after I find it." Yan Sisi was too lazy to continue arguing with her cousin. She covered her head and said uncomfortably, "Sister, do you have anything else to do? I feel a little dizzy and want to rest."

Seeing this, Yan Qianqian didn't know how to look for it herself, so she could only smile and say, "Okay, then you take a rest. Be sure to tell me when you find it, and I'll help you sell it at a good price."

Yan Sisi escorted the person out the door, nodded perfunctorily, and replied: "If you find me, I will definitely go to my cousin first. After all, I can still make some money from it."

"Then I'll go first and come see you next time."

Yan Sisi watched her cousin leave before closing the door. From her cousin's reaction just now, she could tell that she was eyeing her wooden bracelet.

Things became complicated. Since she was looking for the wooden bracelet as soon as she arrived, it was certain that her cousin knew what the wooden bracelet was. No one could give up in the face of such temptation.

Yan Sisi stared at the changed appearance of the wooden bracelet on her hand. She had been too busy these days, and the wooden bracelet had been covered by her sweater. If her cousin hadn't suddenly opened it today, she wouldn't have known that the wooden bracelet had become like this.

I saw that the originally gray appearance turned into a milky white color like jade, with a little green in it. If you look closely, the green looks a bit like green buds, and it looks very beautiful.

It is possible that its appearance changed after it recognized its master, but she did not discover it in time.

Yan Sisi continued to cover the wooden bracelet with the sleeve of her sweater and went to the lying space to look at the seeds she had planted. Only a few hours had passed, but the seeds planted in the morning had already grown green buds, and some seeds with a short growth cycle had already grown two leaves.

After Yan Sisi took a short rest in the space, she hurried to the home of Aunt Chen, whom she had met in the morning. After successfully finding her, they went to the family building of the furniture particle board factory that Yan's mother had mentioned.
