Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Back then, she was fortunate enough to meet that person, but she never expected that he would just disappear like that.

She sighed deeply.

"Son, let's do what we have to do. Work hard and your father will be fine."

Zhang Xingguo also firmly believed that his father would be fine. He did not tell his mother that someone had contacted him before, or to be more precise, the person had contacted Huayun Jewelry Factory.

That person is still wise and believes that it will not be long before his father comes back and a new situation will begin in China.

"Mother, the house will be handed over to you from now on. I have to go on a business trip."

As Zhang Xingguo said this, Miao Yu was briefly stunned. It was already this time, why was his son still on a business trip? What kind of business trip could he take?

But soon, she regained her senses. Her son had joined the army in his teens, fought on the battlefield and killed enemies. He was both civil and military, and was the child carefully nurtured by the entire Zhang family. In the future, the Zhang family would be handed over to him. His decision would not be wrong. If it was wrong, it was better to make it early than late.

She didn't stop him: "Okay, leave the house to me, you go do what you want to do."

She looked at Zhang Xingguo deeply. Zhang Xingguo made a phone call to arrange the trip and then called Huayun.

He only brought one person with him on this business trip, and that was Tan Yuan.

Just a few days later, a special funeral was broadcast on television and radio, and the man passed away, leaving the whole country in grief.

The people at Huayun Jewelry Factory finally found out where that particularly demanding order came from.

So that's where it was. Everything made sense then. They only regretted that they hadn't been more careful, done a better job, and strived for perfection.

For half a month, all the news on TV and radio was about that person, and everything else seemed to be put on hold.

During the past half month, Tan Yuan and Zhang Xingguo were not on business trips as Ms. Miao Yu had imagined. Since arriving in Beijing, they had been staying in a large compound and had never gone out.

Today, a special person appeared in the compound. As soon as this person appeared, Tan Yuan recognized him.

She had seen him on TV in her previous life, but she never expected that she would still see such a person now.

Zhang Xingguo stood up and gave a standard military salute, which made Tan Yuan look like a fool.

The man smiled amiably and raised his hand slightly. "Don't be so reserved. The guy from your factory said he really likes the stuff and even secured a lot of foreign exchange orders for China. You young people are really great."

He was very humble and asked the two of them to sit back on the stools. Tan Yuan's mind was a little blank and she didn't even know how she sat down.

As expected of countless people's idols, it is better to meet them in person than to hear about them. It is normal for ordinary people to have a blank mind when they see their idols.

As she thought about this, the three of them chatted for the entire day. From this person's words, Tan Yuan figured out a different meaning.

It seems that the reform is about to start now, or perhaps even earlier than now, and that person may have already acquiesced.

Since meeting this person, Tan Yuan and Zhang Xingguo are no longer trapped in this yard. They can go out and walk around, make phone calls, and contact others without any problems.

She was not in a hurry to go back to Huayun. Luo Linlin and others were watching her there. There was actually not much difference between her going back and not going back. She planned to stay in Beijing for a while. Not only him, but Zhang Xingguo was also not in a hurry to go back.

Tan Yuan really didn't know what Zhang Xingguo was busy with, but this was not something she could know.

When she left Beijing, she was an educated youth, but when she came back, she was completely different.

It's been less than two years, but it feels like a lifetime ago. Tan Yuan touched the bank deposit certificate in her pocket. They had agreed to redeem their yard, and now that she's back, she might as well give it a go.

Walking on the familiar road, after all, it is where I grew up, and even the air is sweeter than anywhere else.

"Boom boom boom..."

The lock on the door had long been replaced, and the door was tightly closed. It looked as if no one had lived there for a long time. Tan Yuan frowned and shouted at the top of her voice, "Is anyone there?"

The only answer she got was silence. She turned around blankly and saw her former neighbor. She hurried over and said, "Aunt Wang..."

When Aunt Wang saw her, it was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Her legs were shaking and she backed away repeatedly.

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong with you? I'm Tan Yuan, don't you recognize me?"

She took a few steps forward to help, but Aunt Wang looked terrified. What was going on? Had the news of her death spread back to the capital?

She quickly explained, "Aunt, look at me. I have a shadow. I'm not a ghost, I'm a human. Touch my hand. I have warmth. Besides, this is a materialistic society. How can ghosts come out in broad daylight?"

Her explanation finally had some effect, and Aunt Wang finally stopped retreating.

Yes, where did the ghost come from in broad daylight, especially a ghost with a shadow.

She finally had the mind to look at the person in front of her, and it turned out to be Tan Yuan who had gone to the countryside.

She had been looking at that face for more than ten years, so how could she have made a mistake? However, Tan Yuan looked much more mature now than before.

"Are you really Yuanyuan? You've grown up."

Isn't it just that she has grown up? When she left, she was still a little girl with a childish face, but now she looks like an adult.

"No, Yuan girl, why are you back?"

"Could it be that Tan Xianglin and his wife did it?"

That shouldn't be the case. If it was done by Tan Xianglin and his wife, why would they be so sad?

Aunt Wang murmured, and her voice was so soft that no one could hear her except herself. Even Tan Yuan, who was a few meters away from her, could not hear her clearly.

"Aunt, what are you talking about?"

Tan Yuan asked in confusion.

Aunt Wang thought for a long time, and finally said: "Yuan girl, have your parents contacted you?"

"My parents? Aunt Wang, are you kidding me? Didn't my parents die a long time ago? How could they contact me? Oh, and why did you act like you saw a ghost when you saw me just now?"

Aunt Wang hesitated to speak.

Tan Yuan observed her expression and saw her embarrassment: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I can bear it."

Seeing her anxious look, Aunt Wang finally decided to tell Tan Yuan everything: "This... is your uncle's family. They all said you were gone and are busy making plans to build a cenotaph for you. By the way, girl, I have something to tell you."

She reached out and pulled Tan Yuan. She had body temperature and was a living person, not a ghost.
