Chapter 58 Going Out for a Walk
The next morning, Mrs. Zhang and her whole family hurriedly said goodbye to Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin tried to persuade him to stay, "Why are you in such a hurry? You should at least finish your breakfast first."
"Oh, I still have things to do at home. I won't eat anymore."
Old Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed. What her daughter-in-law said to her last night was too scary. If other people knew about this, Zhang Haohao would be kidnapped as a hooligan.
By then, the reputation of their entire family and grandchildren would be ruined. Besides, Mr. Lin is not in charge of things now and his son is not at home, so there is really no point for them to stay here.
Ye Yunrong handed the packed food to Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law, "Sister-in-law Zhang, take this with you and eat it on the road. These are cakes and steamed buns that no one has touched."
"No need. Food is so hard to come by now. You can keep it for yourself." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was an honest and simple person and was too embarrassed to take it.
Ma Xiaoyan walked over quickly, took the things from her sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Sister Yunrong, this is so thoughtful."
Seeing that they accepted the things, Ye Yunrong felt relieved. She couldn't let the guests go back hungry, as that would make her and her sister-in-law feel bad.
Zhang Zhizhi looked at her cousin who kept her head down and was in a bad mood the whole time, and probably guessed that it was because of her that grandma suddenly changed her mind and made arrangements to go home early in the morning.
But she didn't know what exactly happened.
"Sister Zhizhi, please come with me to my room first." Xiuzhu has a good impression of this girl whom she has just met. She is neither humble nor arrogant, which is very rare.
Zhang Zhizhi ignored the expressions of the other members of the Zhang family. She just said something to her mother and went upstairs with Xiuzhu.

"You can pick any book from these. I can give you any one you like." Xiuzhu pointed at the bookshelf. She could see that the other person really liked reading.
The night before yesterday, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Zhang Zhizhi was still awake. She was reading a book next to me under the dim light of a night lamp.
Although Zhang Zhizhi was very tempted, she couldn't always take advantage of others. "Xiuzhu, no, your books are very expensive. I can't take them."
Xiuzhu looked at her gently and said, "These books can only show their greatest value if they meet people who truly like and understand them."
"Just take it. Several people in your family have seen it. Now one more person can see it and it can contribute more value. Isn't that better?"
Zhang Zhizhi did not say anything to refuse. She looked at the girl opposite her with gratitude and said softly, "Thank you, Xiuzhu."
Lin Xiuzhu is not as beautiful as those people say. If you spend more time with her, you will know her strengths. She is full of vitality and has a straightforward personality. It is hard not to like her.
There may be other shining points, but they were together for too short a time and there was no time to discover them. Zhang Zhizhi couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Xiuzhu thought that she would have to put the college entrance examination on hold next year, which would definitely be a blow to Zhang Zhizhi, who loves reading and studying so much.
She didn't have the ability to control others, but she still wanted to say a few more words to this girl in front of her who caught her eye.
She turned her head and said, "Sister Zhizhi, there are new orders outside every day now. Maybe the college entrance examination will be cancelled one day."
Seeing her face turn pale, Xiuzhu quickly added, "However, knowledge is the source of all power. Only with it can our country become stronger and more confident, and help us overcome the difficulties we are facing."
"So no matter what happens outside, don't give up on it in your heart."
Zhang Zhizhi couldn't believe it when she heard Xiuzhu talk about this, but if it was really cancelled, what would she do then?
Thinking that something I had always trusted had suddenly disappeared, my heart was instantly filled with panic.
After hearing Xiuzhu's next words, she suddenly understood. She looked at the girl opposite with a firm gaze and said sincerely: "I understand. I won't give it up."
Xiuzhu was relieved to see that she really listened to him. Maybe she could save a future pillar of society!

After the Zhang family left, Lin Yaoyu had breakfast and started packing his luggage.
Xiuzhu learned that her elder brother was going back to the army this afternoon. She felt reluctant and didn't know when they would see each other again.
"I'm not not coming back. Why should you be sad?" Lin Yaoyu looked at his little cousin and coaxed her softly.
He was also reluctant to leave, but he had more important things to do. He wanted to become an excellent pilot and contribute to China's aerospace industry.
"Luochuan is here, come in quickly." Aunt Lin greeted him warmly at the door.
Because of what happened before, he was a little dissatisfied with Ling Luochuan.
However, now they are all leaving, and every time they have to risk their lives to carry out a mission, all that is left in their hearts is the expectation of the elders for the younger generation, hoping that they can land safely every time.
"Hello, auntie." Ling Luochuan greeted politely.
When Xiuzhu heard the voice, she looked over with a complicated expression. He seemed to be thinner than before and looked a little haggard.
In fact, he did nothing wrong, whether it was what happened with Chu Yuqing before or in the plot.
But she didn't want to offend anyone related to the plot or the heroine, so in the hospital, when her eldest brother said that Ling Luochuan wanted to see her, she changed the subject and silently refused.
Ling Luochuan's cold black eyes had been staring at her since he entered the room. Then he walked straight towards her, and his tone was pleading, "Xiuzhu, I'm leaving now. Please go out and talk to me alone."
Lin Yaoyu was watching from the side, surprised that this young master could be so humble. Did he actually like his sister so much?
But Xiuzhu didn't say anything in reply. He felt sorry for his good brother, so he helped to speak up: "Xiuzhu, go out for a walk with your brother Ling."
Since her elder brother said so, Xiuzhu felt embarrassed to refuse. She decided to make things clear and thus agreed.
