After hearing what Jiang Yan said, Jiang Chuancheng felt much better.

After all, his sister still cared about him. She didn't blame him, nor did she treat him estrangedly.

"Sister, you are a woman of the new era. How can you still have old-fashioned ideas? Times have changed. Men and women are the same."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile, "Little brat, you have so many tricks."

Same for both men and women?

Not to mention the present, even in forty years, equality between men and women will only be superficial, and in many places, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls will still exist.

"Sister, is he good to you?"

"Who?"

Jiang Chuancheng looked awkward, "That guy."

"Si Lu, he has a given name. Isn't it impolite to call him "here and there" all the time? You can call him Brother Si, or just call him by his name. This is the most basic courtesy."

"I, I know I was wrong. Is Si Lu treating you well?"

Jiang Yan nodded, "Very good."

"Don't be fooled by other people's small favors. You have to see clearly whether they are genuine or fake."

Jiang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Where did you hear all these nonsense? I'm an adult, don't I know what's good and what's bad?"

"That's not necessarily true. There used to be a little girl named Xiaoqin in this courtyard. She was about the same age as you. Before she got married, she praised the man very much. But within half a year of the marriage, Xiaoqin was beaten four or five times and ran back home with a swollen face and nose."

Jiang Chuancheng was a little unhappy. "You are so thin, and he is so tall and strong. If he hits you, can you withstand it with your small body?"

"Can't you just hope for me to be better?"

"Who asked you to marry so far away?"

"Okay, don't worry about it. I have it in my mind. Besides, he is a soldier under my uncle. If he dares to touch me, my uncle will eat him alive."

Yes! Why didn't he think of it?

Jiang Chuancheng's face lit up with joy and he immediately became energetic. "You're right, sister. You're so smart."

"I've figured it out. Let's go downstairs."

Jiang Yan was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by Jiang Chuancheng, "Sister."

"Ok?"

"Isn't our mother good to you? Why did you go to the countryside?"

After asking this question, Jiang Chuancheng felt relieved.

Although he was a half-grown child, he was not really ignorant. He remembered that when his mother left home, she took away a lot of money. The money was enough for the mother and daughter to live well and buy a very good job.

But why did my sister go to the countryside?

"She remarried, to a man with several children." Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said in a more euphemistic way, "She probably couldn't take care of so many children. Anyway, she didn't spend the money on me. She asked me to give up the job I got through the exam. I was so angry that I sold my job and went to the countryside. I never contacted her again."

Although Jiang Chuancheng had anticipated that there must be problems between his mother and sister, he did not expect the problem to be so serious.

Is this still my biological mother? A stepmother is no more than this.

"Sister, why?" Jiang Chuancheng couldn't understand. "You are her biological child. She doesn't love you, but she loves someone who has no blood relationship with her. Isn't this nonsense?"

The key point is that she is not Yang Hongying's biological daughter, and she is also a sensitive point that makes her subject to Cheng Yu's control.

"Okay, it's all over. Everyone has to live their own lives. She is ruthless and I am ungrateful."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything else. He patted Jiang Chuancheng's head and said, "Think about it carefully and come downstairs later."

The conversation between the brother and sister ended here. Jiang Yan went downstairs first. Jiang Chuancheng was still feeling restless for a long time. He stayed in the room for a long time to digest the emotion before going downstairs with red eyes.

He was in a bad mood and didn't care what others said. He obviously hadn't figured out why Yang Hongying didn't feel sorry for her leap-frog daughter.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Yan still counseled him a few words, and finally said: "In this life, it is highly likely that there is no way for a person to be perfect. When you figure it out, you will really grow up."

The next day, Jiang Yan and Si Lu took the earliest bus to leave Tianning.

Jiang Chuancheng had been tossing and turning with many thoughts the night before and had not slept well. As a result, he got up late and was unable to say goodbye to the two of them.

"Mom, why didn't you call me?" The boy looked regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone to bed earlier.

"Your sister said that this is a lesson for you and she won't let me call you."

The young man regretted it deeply, but at this moment, he finally understood what Jiang Yan said: it is highly likely that no one will be perfect in their life.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yan and Si Lu finally arrived in the capital. After several days of travel, they came from the northeast to the heart of the motherland.

"Shall we take the bus back?"

"Don't worry, someone will come to pick you up."

Si Lu was walking in front carrying two large bags, and Jiang Yan was walking behind carrying a small bag. When they exited the station, they saw a jeep parked outside. A man in military uniform was leaning against the car, looking towards the door.

The man saw Si Lu and quickly waved, "Here."

Si Lu turned to Jiang Yan and whispered, "That's Lu Qun, my childhood friend. He happens to be free, so we've set a time for him to come pick us up. Let's go shopping first and go home later."

Jiang Yan nodded, indicating that she had no objection.

"You kid, I didn't expect that you could bring your girlfriend back this time." Lu Qun's eyes fell on Jiang Yan, and he smiled and teased, "You are so lucky."

"Don't talk nonsense. Yanyan, this is my childhood friend, Lu Qun, and this is my fiancée, Jiang Yan."

Lu Qun nodded, "Hello sister-in-law, Si Lu and I grew up wearing the same pants, hehe."

"Hello, just call me Jiang Yan."

Receiving Si Lu's warning look, Lu Qun quickly swallowed the rest of his words and said, "Well, get in the car! I'm your exclusive driver today."

"Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Hey, it's a bit awkward for you to say that."

Lu Qun opened the car door, took the bag from Si Lu's hand and put it away, and the three of them got in the car together and left the station.

"Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the department store first." Si Lu said, "Let's buy some things first."

"Okay!" Lu Qun stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the department store.

The capital city today is far less prosperous than it was in later generations. The streets and buildings are not what we remember. You can even see animal-drawn carts on the road!

But this kind of capital city is the most prosperous place in China today.

Before I knew it, the car was parked steadily near the First Department Store.

Lu Qun turned around and said, "I can't drive through the front. You guys go ahead. I'll wait here and take you home in a while."

"thank you."

"We are all family, so don't be shy."

Jiang Yan and Si Lu got out of the car and walked towards the First Department Store. As soon as they left, Lu Qun leaned over the steering wheel and became dazed.

After a while, there was a knock on the car window. He rolled down the window and saw a smiling face. His scalp suddenly went numb. Oh no, why is it her?
