After breakfast, Liu Duo and the gang prepared to leave.
"Ran Er, there are snacks in this cloth bag. Eat them whenever you want, or even when you have a craving," Liu Duo said as she held the bag full of snacks.
Liu Ran carried a school bag on his person, and his back straightened as he nodded. "Yes, I know."
When the men were ready, Liu Duo and Liu Ran joined them in their bullock cart for a short distance.
When they parted, Liu Duo and Liu Ran headed towards the school, while the three men took the other road to the neighboring village.
When they reached the schoolhouse, many students were already there, happily talking among themselves.
"Ran Er, I'm not going in. You have to take care of yourself, eat well, and mingle with your friends..."
Liu Duo nagged a lot, but Liu Ran wasn't annoyed as he made promises to her.
"Ran Er, go in then. Remember what I told you. You must wait for me to get you, got it?" Liu Duo gave a last reminder.
