Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

"I went to the countryside to work as an educated youth."

"How many children do you have in your family when you are an educated youth?"

Almost no one in the city didn't know how hard it was for the educated youth who went to the countryside. She felt very sorry when she thought that such a delicate little girl like Xu Nuannuan had to go to the countryside to suffer.

"I'm the only one in my family. I couldn't find a suitable job in the city, but I wanted to participate in national development, so I signed up to go to the countryside."

"Aren't you afraid of the hardships of going to the countryside?"

"I'm not afraid. Only those who endure the most hardships can achieve success. The development of the country and the progress of society are the result of the hard work of every individual. Even personal survival requires hardship. I think it's normal to endure some hardship. If everyone can't endure hardship, who will support us? Besides, I'm so young, it's the age when I should be working hard. Why should I be afraid of hardship?"

This is what Xu Nuannuan really thinks. Even if she doesn't go to the countryside to help her parents, she will still shine in other fields with this attitude.

Mrs. Guan was somewhat moved by Xu Nuannuan's words: "Good boy, you are a good boy. Your parents must be very sensible people."

"Yes." Xu Nuannuan nodded. "They love me very much, but they are very supportive of me in this matter. They have always respected my wishes."

Old Mrs. Guan didn't know what to say anymore, so she asked Xu Nuannuan where she went in the countryside, and Xu Nuannuan told her the truth.

Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "I don't have much to do on weekdays. I like to walk around. Maybe one day I will come to see you in the place where you went to the countryside."

"Okay, grandma, I'll wait for you."

She glanced at Lin Ruyan out of the corner of her eye and found that the other person's face seemed not to be looking good.

Then Lin Ruyan said to Mrs. Guan, "Grandma, let's go back. You see, there's no room for Comrade Xu to sit here."

Xu Nuannuan smiled and waved her hands: "It's okay, grandma, please sit down. I've been sitting for so long, I want to stand for a while."

Old Mrs. Guan felt embarrassed to occupy Xu Nuannuan's seat, so she stood up and said goodbye to Xu Nuannuan, then stood up and returned to her own seat with Lin Ruyan.

In order to find a seat, Liu Cuiying walked along the aisle. Before she found her seat, she saw Lin Ruyan walking towards her from the opposite side. She subconsciously turned around and immediately walked back.

Lin Ruyan, with her bright young eyes, noticed her and said to Mrs. Guan, "Grandma, I saw that shifty old lady we met in the waiting room again. Why is she running away again? Did she really steal something?"

Old Mrs. Guan was not as quick to react as Lin Ruyan, nor did she have as good eyesight. There were many people walking back and forth in the aisle, and at this time, she couldn't even find Liu Cuiying's back.

"Don't worry about her, she's just a stranger."

Two hours later, the train arrived at Beijing Railway Station. Before getting off the train, Mrs. Guan wanted to say goodbye to Xu Nuannuan.

They came over with their luggage. Old Mrs. Guan said to Xu Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, we have arrived at our destination. We have to say goodbye to you. I wish you a safe journey."

Xu Nuannuan quickly stood up: "Thank you, grandma. Grandma, please go slower too."

"Eh."

The carriage door opened, and Lin Ruyan helped Old Lady Guan walk a distance in the aisle. Suddenly, she ran back to Xu Nuannuan and whispered to her, "I don't care what your purpose is, but please don't approach my grandmother anymore. My grandmother won't come to the countryside to see you, so just give up on that idea."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went to look for Old Lady Guan.

Xu Nuannuan wanted to go over and explain things to Lin Ruyan in front of Mrs. Guan, but Mrs. Guan was about to get off the car. Besides, Mrs. Guan herself had a heart disease and could not stand any stimulation. She was afraid that Mrs. Guan would get angry and affect her health, so she had to give up the idea.

She and Old Lady Guan had only met twice. If they were destined to meet, they would definitely meet again. No matter how others tried to stop them, they could do so.

Old Madam Guan asked Lin Ruyan, "What did you say to Nuannuan when you went back just now?"

Lin Ruyan pretended to be mysterious: "Speaking of the topic about our girls' family, Grandma, this is a secret, so don't ask."

"You kept it a secret from me. Since it's your secret, I won't ask."

The two of them got off the train together while talking.

When Liu Cuiying got off the train, she deliberately avoided Old Lady Guan and Lin Ruyan. She waited until they left the station before blending into the crowd and making her way out slowly.

Outside the station, Guan Yurong, dressed in a black Lenin suit, immediately went to greet Mrs. Guan and Lin Ruyan after seeing them.

"Mom, Yan'er, you're finally back. Did you have fun back home?"

"Fortunately."

Guan Yurong pointed to the jeep parked on the side of the road and said, "Mom, our driver is waiting in the car. Let's go home."

"Okay, go home."

Old Mrs. Guan got into the jeep, surrounded by Guan Yurong and Lin Ruyan.

Liu Cuiying saw this scene as soon as she came out of the station. Her eyes turned red with jealousy.

His own daughter called someone else "Mom" and helped others get into the car, but he didn't even dare to show his face in front of his daughter.

But her heart was as clear as a mirror.

The daughter was so attentive to Old Lady Guan only because she wanted to gain more benefits from the Guan family. The Guan family was just a tool for her daughter to use.

She deliberately hid in the crowd and only showed her face after the jeep drove away.

Jingshi Station is a large transportation hub. Many people get off the train at Jingshi Station, and many people also get on the train.

At least half of the people in Xu Nuannuan's carriage got off, and more than a dozen people got on. Among them were a few young people carrying luggage who looked about her age. They might have also been sent to the countryside as educated youth.

As soon as one of the men came in, he immediately attracted Yu Qingqing's attention.

The man was estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white Dacron short-sleeved shirt and black pants. His handsome and elegant face showed a bit of rebelliousness. Yu Qingqing immediately compared him with Wu Zhiguo and found that he was far superior to Wu Zhiguo in both appearance and temperament. Her eyes immediately stuck to the man like glue.

After the man got on the bus, he glanced at the scene in the car, then found a place to sit down with another young man. As luck would have it, they sat right behind Yu Qingqing.

Yu Qingqing immediately turned around and started talking to them, but her eyes were fixed on the tall and handsome man's face.

"Hello, comrades. Are you also educated youth going to the countryside? Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yu Qingqing. I'm going to the Qingpingwan Production Team in Wagouzhai Commune, Anfeng Township, Liaoning Province. I wonder if we're going to the same place."

Fu Yunqi glanced out the window and glanced at Yu Qingqing out of the corner of his eye without saying anything. Chen Dalu beside him nodded to Yu Qingqing: "Comrade, what a coincidence, we are going to the same commune and the same brigade."

"That's great, we are so destined to meet." Yu Qingqing's eyes were still glued to Fu Yunqi.

Chen Dalu noticed her lustful eyes towards Fu Yunqi and pulled his face stiffly, "Yes."

At this time, Wu Zhiguo, who was sitting opposite Yu Qingqing, seemed to be no longer interested, and he would cast his gaze towards Xu Nuannuan from time to time.

Seeing Fu Yunqi was silent, Yu Qingqing took the initiative to speak: "Comrade, why have you been silent?"

Fu Yunqi continued to look out the window. Chen Dalu said, "He doesn't like talking to strangers."

At this time, Fu Yunqi turned around and said to Yu Qingqing expressionlessly: "I don't want to bother with you."

After saying that, he turned and looked out the window.

Yu Qingqing's cheeks turned red the moment he said that, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Dalu tried to smooth things over: "Yu Zhiqing, Yun Qi doesn't like dealing with strangers, don't take it personally."

They were both educated youth who had been sent to the countryside from the same place, and he didn't want to make things too awkward with the other party.

This seemed to give Yu Qingqing a way out, but she still refused to give up the opportunity to talk to Fu Yunqi.

"Fu Zhiqing is definitely an introvert, and I happen to be lively and cheerful. If we spend more time together, Fu Zhiqing will also become cheerful and sunny."

Fu Yunqi finally couldn't help but turned around again and said to Yu Qingqing seriously: "Listen carefully, I'm not introverted, I just don't want to talk to you, and I even hate you a little. Don't mention me when you talk, okay?"

Yu Qingqing felt so wronged that her eyes turned red. How could the handsome guy say such harsh words to her?

Chen Dalu was at his wit's end and said to Yu Qingqing, "Yu Zhiqing, you'd better turn around, otherwise..."

He pointed at Fu Yunqi.

Yu Qingqing's face turned even uglier, but she set a goal for herself in her heart.

She wants to pursue Fu Yunqi.

The harder it is to pursue someone, the more she is interested in him. Moreover, he is a handsome guy like Fu Yunqi. She doesn't believe that she can't handle him with her charm.

She thought for a while, since Fu Yunqi didn't like her being too enthusiastic, she decided not to get close to Fu Yunqi for the time being.

In a low-rise house in the suburbs of Beijing, Liu Cuiying sat on a shabby little bed and sighed.

She lived in such a house in An City, and she still lives in such a house here. When will she be able to live in a big house in a grand manner?

In the evening, Guan Yurong came over and said to her, "Mom, I'm sorry to ask you to stay here for a while."

Liu Cuiying knew that her eldest daughter could not leave the Guan family yet, so she nodded to show her understanding.

"Yurong, it's nothing for Mom. When you've climbed high enough and are no longer dependent on the Guan family, and the Guan family can no longer influence you, then we can openly recognize each other as mother and daughter."

"Ah."

Guan Yurong had never thought so in her heart. As a woman, she would never have had her current status if she had not relied on the Guan family.

She can use the Guan family, but she will not leave the Guan family unless the Guan family becomes of no use to her at all.

She had always considered herself the pampered daughter of the Guan family since she was a child, spoiled by her parents and two brothers, and lived a carefree life of luxury.

Until one day, Liu Cuiying suddenly appeared and told her that she was not Guan's biological daughter at all. She was just switched with Guan's biological daughter at birth. She was very scared when she knew this, fearing that one day the biological daughter would come back and take away her beautiful life.

But Liu Cuiying assured her that her biological daughter would not know about this, and she could continue to enjoy her life as a rich lady in the Guan family, but she was always resentful towards her biological daughter in her heart.

"Mom, you said they were both sent down together. Where were they sent down to?"

"I don't know where she was sent to, but she's in the countryside and can't go anywhere else. I don't think she'll be a threat to you."

"That's not necessarily true. Even a little bit of a threat is still a threat. Mom, you said before that you needed her to take care of the family and give you money. Now she's no longer useful to you. Keeping her around would only bring trouble."

"You, you want to get rid of her?" Liu Cuiying had a gloomy expression, but she was not panicked at all.

"Depending on the situation, I won't act rashly. If she really poses no threat to me, I won't risk sending someone to kill her."

Liu Cuiying reminded him again, "Yurong, I also discovered something. When I was in An City, I saw the little girl she gave birth to save your adoptive mother, but they didn't recognize each other. Your adoptive mother seemed to like her very much. This time she is going to the countryside, and I don't know where she will go to join the team. I hope she won't have the chance to meet your adoptive mother again in the future."

Guan Yurong's heart skipped a beat when she heard this: "They've actually already had contact."

"Well, luckily that little girl looks more like her father, so your adoptive mother couldn't recognize her at all. However, your adoptive mother was really special to her. I saw your adoptive mother gave her a very expensive gift and told her some other things. You can ask Ruyan indirectly, she was there at the time."

"Okay, I will."

She took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Liu Cuiying: "Mom, you'd better stay here honestly and don't run around. Of course, it's best not to appear in front of the Guan family, you understand."

"Mom understands. I will cooperate with you."

On the train, Wu Zhiguo's eyes kept falling on Xu Nuannuan. Only he knew that he had imagined Xu Nuannuan becoming his countless times.
