Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Mengyan was riding her bicycle on the way home with her prize, her excitement surging like the tide - she hadn't seen her father, mother, sister and brothers for more than two months, and she missed her family very much. Walking on the way home, she felt as if she was in a huge embrace, making her feel safe and warm.

Relying on her memory, Zhan Mengyan found the home of the middle-aged woman who helped her remove the splinter from her back, returned her clothes, and gave her prize, a towel, to the little girl. The middle-aged woman was about to refuse, but the little girl ran away with the towel, saying as she ran: "This is the towel my sister gave me. It's so beautiful. I won't give it to anyone else!"

Zhan Mengyan watched the little girl's short legs clumsily running away, and said with a smile: "Aunt, the little sister is so cute, don't chase her for the towel, be careful that she runs and falls."

Zhan Mengyan said goodbye to the mother and daughter and continued on her way.

When Zhan Mengyan was about to enter Xinxing Township, she slowed down the car. She became nervous and uneasy - she was afraid to hear her father's roar again, afraid that her father would lock her up at home again, she was afraid that her family would be angry with her and indifferent to her...

Zhan Mengyan got off her bicycle near her home. She pushed her bicycle into the courtyard. The courtyard was quiet. Zhan Mengyan saw her familiar courtyard. She fondly stroked the water well and the big leather tank in the courtyard... She felt like she had been away from home for too long. Every blade of grass and every tree in the courtyard carried the memory of her growing up. The past events that were buried deep in her heart emerged in her mind one by one.

Suddenly, Zhan Mengyan heard her mother talking to someone at the back door.

"Xiao Yue'er, when you go back to school this time, you must help Fourth Aunt look for your sister Mengyan and find out where she goes to school and how she is doing. If you can find her, tell her that dad, mom, sister and brothers miss her very much and will no longer stop her from going to high school. Let her take time to go home and visit dad and mom. Advise her not to be angry with dad and mom. We don't have the heart to let her drop out of school, but your brother Zixun is already in the second year of high school. He will be a third year after the New Year and can take the college entrance examination. We can't let him give up halfway, so we gave up on Mengyan to go to high school. Our family's conditions can only support one child to go to high school, and it will be hard for my Mengyan..." Yunqing couldn't help crying as she spoke.

Zhan Mengyan was about to rush over to comfort her mother. But she heard her cousin Zhan Yue say, "Fourth aunt, don't be sad. I will definitely find sister Mengyan when I go back to school this time. I am studying in an agricultural school. I will start from our agricultural school, one class at a time. If we can't find her in our agricultural school, I will go to ordinary high schools, one class at a time. If she can't find her in ordinary high schools, I will go to key high schools, one class at a time. There are only three high schools in the whole county, and sister Mengyan must be studying in one of them. I will ask my brother Zixun to help look for her. Hard work pays off. We will definitely find sister Mengyan. Maybe she is in the same mood as fourth aunt now. She must miss home and her family very much. But sister Mengyan dare not go home, for fear that you will lock her up again. If she knew that her family supported her to go to school, I think she would hate you when she knew it." I have to put on wings and fly back home. When I first went to agricultural school, I missed home after a week of classes. I cried because of it. Every night I dreamed of my mother, calling me to go home. My father was gone, and I was left with only this old mother. I was particularly worried about her. Now my four sisters are married and have their own families. They can't take care of my mother. When I went to high school, my mother and my youngest sister Liucun were the only ones left at home. It was very difficult for my mother to support me to go to high school. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to graduate from high school. Fortunately, my current classmate helped me find a job poking hawthorn seeds in the county canning factory, which can earn some money, but I can only go to the canning factory during my evening self-study time. I was caught by the zoology teacher once, and our dormitory was fined points. Some classmates have opinions about me. Oh, it's really hard to go to high school..."

Yunqing saw that Zhan Yue became depressed as he spoke, so she turned around to comfort Zhan Yue.
