Anning taught her family how to grow greenhouse vegetables, and then the day for the start of school arrived.
Several days in advance, Wang Cuihua began packing her luggage, and by the time she was ready to leave, everything was prepared.
When Anning left home, the whole family came to see her off.
Lin Aiguo and Wang Cuihua were especially reluctant to part with Anning, but they also knew she was going to study, and parting was necessary.
Wu Pan'ni, being older, could not hold back her tears upon seeing Anning leaving.
Anning had no choice but to turn back, hold Wu Pan'ni's hand, and reassure her with a smile: "Grandma, as soon as I get to school, I will write a letter home. I will definitely return for the New Year. Plus, I've heard you can make good money in the big cities. Once I earn some, I will buy you a pair of leather shoes."
