She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"Manman, I'll go home and prepare study materials for you. Remember to contact me when you come back from the countryside!"

Qin Gege was reluctant to leave them in the afternoon.

But I am also looking forward to Manshu’s return from his hometown.

"Okay." Manshu nodded and looked at Yu Yan again, "Brother Yan, please send Gege home."

They returned from the city after dinner, and it was probably after ten o'clock when they got home.

There is no way to send Qin Gege away first.

"I guarantee to complete the task!" Yu Yan saluted nonchalantly.

Manshu and the others were still taken back by Huang Tao in his old car.

There are no street lights on country roads, and because Huang Tao almost had a car accident on the way here, he drove very carefully along the way.

They even arrived home an hour later than expected.

Because grandma knew in advance that Manshu would come home, she kept waiting.

When she got home, Grandma Yan was watching TV in the main room.

Seeing her granddaughter come back, Grandma Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"You kid, you're not in a hurry to go home this night. Aren't you afraid of the dark?"

Grandma Yan's eyelids were drooping as she watched TV, but she perked up when she saw her granddaughter.

The old man was worried about the child, so when he saw her come back, he pulled her up and down to look her up.

"Is she not used to playing in the city? Or did she not bring enough money? Why does she look thinner?"

Manshu: There is a kind of thinness when your elders think you are thin.

"Grandma, I've only been playing for a few days, how could I have lost weight?"

Manshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and quickly helped the old man into the room.

"You're still awake so late at night just to wait for me to come back?"

"Didn't I tell you that Brother Taozi will drive us, so everything will be fine?"

She turned on the old electric fan.

Although it is windy outside at night in the countryside, it is still hot inside.

The old man is reluctant to turn on the electric fan when watching TV in the main room, and just uses a palm-leaf fan to fan himself.

"Huang Tao is only 18 years old. He must have learned to drive only a few days ago. How can I feel at ease?"

"It's late at night."

Not to mention that Grandma Yan was worried, Grandma Huang Tao was still scolding the two boys at this time.

The sound was so loud that Manshu could hear it at home.

"Isn't he back safely?" Manshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then he took his grandmother's hand and told the old lady in a low voice how he made money by gambling on stones.

Grandma Yan is a retired rural teacher and is quite educated.

Upon hearing the news, he stood up suddenly.

"Is it true? You made so much money?"

The old lady had seen money when she was young, but she had never been involved in such a big scene as gambling on stones.

This was beyond her comprehension.

If her granddaughter wasn't right in front of her, she would definitely think that the child was cheated by a scammer outside.

"It's true. Don't be impatient. Let me tell you slowly."

Manshu told the old man everything that had happened in the past few days.

He emphasized that he exchanged the money for a house.

"Grandma, please give me the household registration book. I will go to the city again tomorrow to finalize the house issue."

"By the way, you still need to take care of the livestock at home. Once I get a house, we will move to the city."

Manshu had made up his mind long ago, but he was a little worried that the old man was used to living in the countryside and would not be willing to move to the city with him.

"Nannan, are you really planning to transfer schools?"

The old lady looked at her granddaughter carefully, her gaze resting on the corners of her eyes, full of worry.

My granddaughter has been self-conscious since she was a child because of her birthmark and she doesn’t speak much at school.

When she arrived in the city, she had no relatives or friends. Could she get along with her classmates?
