Wan Qiqi sat on a chair on the second floor of her house and waved to Pingping and An'an.
When they came to him, he said gently, "Pingping, An'an, would you like to go to Yunhe County?"
Pingping: "Why go to Yunhe County?"
An'an: "Is it fun there?"
"Hmm... I'm not sure if it'll be fun or not, but your father is there. If Pingping wants to go, I'll change your academy so you can study there. However, An'an might not be able to go, because currently only Jingjing Academy accepts girls."
The two little ones stared at each other for a while, seemingly struggling with their own thoughts.
Then, Pingping answered first, "Mother, I want to stay in town and stay with An'an. Mother has put in so much effort to get my sister into school. If she leaves before finishing her studies, all of Mother's efforts will have been in vain!"

She felt that two days was a long time! But she wondered if it was too much for her mother.
"Okay, Mother will come back every two days. If Mother can't get away, then Father or Uncle Gousheng can come back, okay?" Wan Qiqi coaxed carefully, not wanting to cast a shadow on the two little ones.
She knew that parental companionship was very important during a child's development.
But in this era, becoming their safe haven and allowing them to grow properly is actually more important.
“Okay, it’s a deal.” An’an stretched out her little finger and made a pinky promise with Wan Qiqi.
This was Wan Qiqi's usual way of doing things. She stretched out her finger and hooked it with An An's little finger, "It's a deal."
