Old Master Fu looked at his most valued son with a furious expression. His son had performed outstandingly in the team and had also given his life to the country, which was fine. But at almost thirty years old, which one of the team didn't get married, get a family home, and settle down with such important life events as marriage and having children first?

His son has never had any contact with women since he was a child.

Is there a problem?

Master Fu didn't want to mention the team's mission, especially since there were two girls present. He waved his hand and said, "Qiao Ruan, Lin Ran, your uncle has prepared rooms for you. Go and put your luggage down first. We'll have a good welcome dinner for you tonight. As for your life in Kyoto, just be happy. If you have any grievances, don't keep them to yourself, understand?"

"Yes, Uncle Fu."

Then, the two were led upstairs by the maid. Qiao Ruan was led to a room facing south, while Lin Ran's room, although facing north, was larger than Qiao Ruan's. It's impossible to balance everything perfectly at once. Qiao Ruan just thought it was a place to live and there was nothing to care about. But that didn't mean she wouldn't notice Lin Ran's gaze as she passed by her room, which kept wandering around.

Qiao Ruan entered the room and put down the package in her hand. She brought very little luggage from the countryside, and only a few clothes, all of which were Qiao Meng's old clothes. In order to save money, her aunt let her continue to wear Qiao Meng's worn-out clothes. The clothes were also faded from washing. If it weren't for Qiao Ruan's face, she would really look shabby when she went out!

On her way here, Qiao Ruan had seen how beautifully dressed the girls in Kyoto were. Here, the economy was more developed and prices were several times higher than in the countryside. Qiao Ruan only had eight hundred yuan left. If she wanted to go to the team, she really needed to get herself a nice outfit.

But right now, Qiao Ruan was in a bit of a dilemma. How should she bring up the idea of ​​going to the team with Fu Hanchen?

Qiao Ruan pondered for a long time but had no clue what to do. Unless she had a unique and outstanding ability, she would not have a chance to join the team.

Back in the village, Qiao Ruan learned how to give injections and treat injuries from the old man at the clinic. She liked the profession of doctor and would occasionally sneak up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs. If she was lucky, she could even find ginseng!

If she had gone to the team to become a doctor and fulfill her father's mission, she wouldn't have had so many regrets.

It wasn't until the maid knocked on the door, telling Qiao Ruan to get ready and come downstairs for dinner, that Qiao Ruan responded and started walking downstairs.

After going downstairs, they saw that the living room was bustling with activity. Lin Ran had already gone into the kitchen to help the housekeeper cook soup and meals. Mr. Fu was very satisfied with Lin Ran's obedient appearance.

Lin Ran smiled and said sweetly, "What kind of soup does Young Master Fu like? I can make another one and put it in a thermos for you to take to the team."

"Xiao Ran is a thoughtful girl, just like Lao Lin, very meticulous!"

When Qiao Ruan walked downstairs, she suddenly seemed out of place among them.

Fu Han sat on the sofa, glancing over at them for only a second before looking away, his indifference making it seem as if the two were complete strangers.

Master Fu noticed Qiao Ruan and raised his hand to call out, "Qiao Ruan, come and sit down too. Dinner will be ready soon."

Qiao Ruan responded and walked over.

As usual, Master Fu asked Qiao Ruan, "Qiao Ruan, I heard from your father that you grew up in the village, where conditions are not very good. Are you still in school?"

When she lived at her aunt's house, besides feeding the cows and sheep and selling vegetables, why would her aunt be willing to spend money to send her to university?

Qiao Meng wanted to go to university, but she failed the entrance exam, letting down her family's "careful upbringing".

"Uncle Fu, I didn't go to university."

"Is it because you lack the resources or your grades aren't good enough?"

Qiao Ruan frowned: "Not many children in rural areas go to university. In the beginning, we didn't even think about supporting my university education."

“Children in rural areas do have a tough life. Now that we’re in Kyoto, I’ll arrange for you and Xiaoran to study hard. Only through education can you change your life and make a living. Xiaoruan, what major do you want to study? I’ll have someone give you some advice.”

Qiao Ruan suddenly spoke up: "Uncle Fu, may I ask you a favor?"

As soon as he said that, Lin Ran immediately came out of the kitchen with the soup.

She wanted to hear what kind of nonsense Qiao Ruan was going to spout this time!

She didn't even know how to behave when she arrived at the Fu family. She just kicked her legs and sat down on the sofa. Now she wants to make demands of Uncle Fu.
