After leaving the educated youth settlement, Chen Yunyun sorted out her thoughts and realized that Rong Yan must have deliberately erased the memories of those around him.
What exactly is he going on this long trip to do? How long will it take him to return?
Chen Yunyun muttered unconsciously: "Men's hearts are truly unfathomable. Yesterday, my favorability rating was 100%, but today he's vanished without a trace. What a jerk!"
When Chen Yunyun arrived at her doorstep, she happened to see Xiao Fubao coming out of the Lin family's house next door. The little girl's sleeves were bulging with something stuffed inside.
When Fu Bao saw Chen Yunyun, she widened her round eyes and put her hands behind her back, saying, "Hello, Auntie."
Chen Yunyun had something on her mind and didn't think too much about it. She smiled at Xiao Fubao and went home.
Fu Bao watched Chen Yunyun's figure disappear before sneaking towards the cowshed at the village entrance.
"Brother Changting, Brother Changting..."
In the sweltering summer, the cowshed was filled with an indescribable stench that could make people gag even outside.
A clean, fair-skinned little girl, seemingly oblivious to the stench, crouched down and whispered to someone in the cowshed.
The little boy called Brother Changting came out of the cowshed. He was about ten years old and looked rather thin due to malnutrition.
He led Xiao Fubao to a secluded spot. "Why are you here?"
Little Fu Bao took out the steamed bun from his sleeve, presenting it like a precious treasure, "Here you go!"
The boy's gaze lingered on the beige steamed bun for a moment. "Take it back, and don't bring it again next time."
"It's best not to use your special privileges."
Little Fu Bao tilted his head. "Why? If my brother and grandpa don't eat, their tummy will be hungry."
Lu Changting forced a smile through his dry lips. "It's alright, my brother and grandfather have already eaten."
After secretly drinking fish soup for a few days, Grandpa recovered from his illness.
They carry manure and do manual labor every day. Although it's dirty and tiring, at least they can get something to eat.
Lu Changting had already witnessed Xiao Fubao's "supernatural abilities," and after spending these past few days with her, he had also realized that Xiao Fubao was a simple and innocent girl.
Out of kindness, he advised Xiao Fubao not to use such special skills anymore.
If discovered by someone with ulterior motives, Xiao Fubao may face cold, hard research.
"Never use this skill again, no matter what, understand?"
Little Fu Bao didn't agree immediately, seemingly hesitant. After a long pause, she finally said, "But Grandma and Mom like it very much..."
Lu Changting placed his hand on Xiao Fubao's shoulder and asked solemnly, "Do you believe your brother?"
Brother Changting is handsome and well-educated, and she always feels a natural affinity for him. Fu Bao nodded without hesitation.
Lu Changting pinched Xiao Fubao's chubby cheeks, "Even what Mom and Grandma say might be wrong."
"Fu Bao must have her own judgment."
Little Fu Bao seemed to understand; she nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then I'll continue teaching you to recognize characters."
As the sun grew higher, two children squatted under the lush branches of a tree, writing characters stroke by stroke.
As for the Xu family, the atmosphere in the house became tense after they learned that Chen Yunyun had become the factory director.
"What abilities does that woman next door have? There's not even a man in her family, yet she's always out in public, and she's a factory manager? Is everyone in the commune blind?"
These were harsh words, spoken by Lin Li.
She always went against Chen Yunyun, and never managed to get a single penny from Chen Yunyun, so her resentment towards Chen Yunyun accumulated day by day.
Xu Zhijin and Xu Zhiyin, two men, held pipes in their hands, silently puffing away, their brows furrowed into deep lines.
