Auntie Sun looked at the skinny little girl and the fierce determination in her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't find the right words and sighed. She said, "It would be best if you could enroll in the army. Then, I'll ask Qiliang to take care of you. Let me know if you ever need any help, little girl."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Auntie Sun didn't stay for too long. She left after she said all those things.
Gu Yan turned around and entered the westside room. She gathered some wearable clothes, a pair of green rubber shoes, and a pair of white sneakers that were yellowing before stuffing them in her bag.
After she finished doing all those things, she flipped up the mat on the heatable brick bed. There was a squashed small fabric pouch. She opened it, confirming that there was a bit more than fifty yuan inside; she accumulated this money slowly over the years.
Of course, Zhang Lan did not know about this money.
