After the two sisters finished their meal, Su Dani took Su Jinru to her residence.

"Er Ya, no, you should call me Sister Jin Ru. This is my room, you live with me."

Su Dani was worried about Su Jinru. This little girl was so independent that she even dared to come to Qingzhou from her hometown. She had to keep an eye on her often.

Although this room is simple, it is full of warmth.

The room was not big, only big enough for a double wooden bed, an old wooden table and two chairs. There were a few faded New Year pictures hanging on the wall and a few pots of lush green succulents on the windowsill.

Those were carefully selected by Su Dani from street vendors to embellish this monotonous living space.

"Look, although this place isn't as spacious as home, it's clean and tidy, and it's close to school, so it's convenient for going to and from school."

As Su Dani spoke, she pulled out an old wooden box from under the bed and took out a few clothes she had worn when she was young.

"I've washed and put these clothes away. They should still fit you. Wear them for now. I'll take you to buy new ones tomorrow morning."

Su Jinru took the clothes her sister gave her and said, "Sister, just go to school without worrying about me. I even brought some money from home."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are sisters, shouldn't we take care of each other? Take your own money, this is not like home, there are so many places to spend money."

Su Dani patted Su Jinru's shoulder gently, her eyes full of pampering.

"I'm worried about you being out here alone. From now on, this is your home. As long as I have something to eat, you won't go hungry."

As night fell, the two sisters sat around the wooden table, sharing their lives under the dim light.

Su Dani talked about the interesting things that happened in school and mentioned the hardships and difficulties in life, but her tone was always so optimistic, as if nothing could defeat her.

Su Jinru listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, talking about her life at home and her experiences on the way to Qingzhou.

"In fact, I have always had a dream, which is to leave that small mountain village and see the outside world."

Su Jinru didn't want to put a heavy psychological burden on Su Dani, "I just made this decision suddenly this time."

When Su Dani heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew how difficult it was for her sister, and she saw the comfort in her eyes.

"Jinru, remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up easily. I will always support you and walk with you."

That night, the two sisters' hearts were closely connected, as if they had returned to their childhood, carefree and relying on each other.

The moonlight outside the window shone through the gaps in the curtains onto their faces, reflecting two faces full of hope.

The next morning, Su Jinru rubbed her sleepy eyes, walked into the kitchen, and saw that her sister had already prepared food.

"Jinru, you're awake now and go wash your face. It's time to eat." As he said that, he brought the dishes and placed them on the small table in the yard.

Su Jinru finished washing up.

"Sister, the food you cook is so delicious." She said as she sat down. The morning light filtered through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled onto the table, adding a touch of warmth and poetry to this ordinary breakfast.

Su Jinru picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden fried egg, and took a bite. The aroma of egg mixed with the freshness of chopped green onion made her appetite open.

"Sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This fried egg is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just right."

Su Jinru admired sincerely, saying that she did not have this skill.

Su Dani smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, soft and powerful.

"As long as you like it, eat more. It's the weekend today, I'll go shopping with you."

As she spoke, she served her sister a bowl of hot millet porridge. The porridge was thick and the aroma of rice and the sweetness of red dates intertwined together, warming the heart.

The two ate and chatted, and the topic turned from interesting things at school to the latest news happening in town.

"Jinru, my sister can earn money now. I don't take money from the principal anymore."

Su Dani lamented that her parents had always disagreed with her studying, but fortunately the principal supported her.

"Sister, you are so amazing." Su Jinru really thought Su Dani was amazing. Others had to be eighteen or nineteen to go to college, but her sister went to college at the age of sixteen.

This is what a genius is like. Now this genius is my sister. My sister is so amazing, Su Jinru thought.

"It's not bad. My teacher said I've learned enough and asked me what I'll do in the future."

Su Dani had wanted to go home before, but the news her sister brought made her hesitate.

"So what does sister think?"

"I used to want to go back and help the principal and teach in the village, but now I feel a little..."

"Sister, you must not go back. Have you written your letter? If you have, please mail it back as soon as possible and see what the principal says." Su Jinru was a little anxious. Don't think of falling into the trap.

Su Dani looked at her sister, sweating anxiously. "Don't worry, I'm just talking about my previous thoughts. Now I want to go to Beijing to teach."

The teacher gave Su Dani two options, one was to stay in Changzhou to teach, and the other was to recommend Su Dani to teach in Beijing.

Su Dani is very smart, hardworking, and has a large amount of knowledge.

Her teacher also didn't want her to go back to her hometown to teach.

"That's good. When do you plan to go to Beijing?" Su Jinru asked. She didn't have much money on hand.

I still have to go to the pawnshop to sell some gold and silver jewelry.

"It should take another two months. I need to talk to the teacher first so we can set a specific time."

"We still have to wait for the principal's reply."

"Uh-huh."

After dinner, Su Dani accompanied her sister Su Jinru to the street to buy some daily necessities.

The streets are bustling with people, and the cries of various vendors interweave into a lively symphony of life.

Su Dani held Su Jinru's hand and walked among the crowd. The two of them looked particularly warm in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Su Dani first took Su Jinru to the post office and mailed the letter back home.

After mailing the letter, the two went shopping.

"Jinru, what do you think of this hairband? The color is bright and suitable for your age."

Su Dani pointed to a hair tie on a stall. There were several small bells strung together on the hair tie, which looked festive.

Su Jinru took the hairband, gently shook the bell, listened to the crisp sound, and her eyes sparkled with joy.

"Sister, this is so beautiful. My hairband is broken." She said softly, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement in her tone.

"Then buy it." Su Dani paid the money with a smile and handed the hairband to her sister.

For a twelve-year-old girl, every little item may become a memory in her heart.

Afterwards, the two went shopping in several shops, and Su Dani picked out some spare clothes and daily necessities for Su Jinru.

Every time she chose something, she would patiently ask her sister for her opinion to make sure that everything was what she needed.

"Sister, let's go back. We have enough food. I'm still growing, and it would be a waste to have more." Su Jinru suddenly suggested.

Su Dani has always been alone, and now that she has bought so many things, she may not have much money left.

"Well, let's go back." Su Dani knew what her sister was thinking.
