Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"Xiao Nan, how do you know so much?" Su Guoyuan finally asked, his doubts finally voiced.

Faced with her father's doubts, Su Fengnan was not at all ashamed. "Dad, do you think I've read so many books for nothing? Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. I'm just following the general trend of the times. What mistakes could I possibly make?"

Su Guoyuan was powerless to refute, because he knew that Su Fengnan was right. He also knew that he and his daughter had never communicated much, and he had not been by their side for so many years, so he could only accept his daughter's wild growth.

"Dad, you didn't get much education back then because we were poor, but you're not ignorant. Besides, you've always been a very smart person and you learn things quickly. You can't let your talent go to waste. Look how fast the times have changed since you left home. You can feel it, right?"

Su Fengnan, mindful of her father's feelings, praised him effortlessly.

"Our family has indeed had a run of bad luck these past few years, but Dad, I don't believe you're a man without ideas."

In fact, Su Fengnan knew that her father was ambitious. In her previous life, her father also wanted to make a name for himself, but ever since her grandparents passed away one after another when she was in the second year of junior high school, their family's luck had been on a downward spiral. Her father even fell ill and almost lost his life. She also eloped with someone, and Su Fengxia dropped out of school halfway through, leaving only her mother, Wen Xiaofen, to support the family.

Her parents even consulted a feng shui master, who said that her grandparents' graves were specifically unlucky for their branch of the family. But now that the matter was settled, what could her father do alone?

In that instant, Su Fengnan thought of many things. She had to help her father regain his confidence and make something of himself.

"I've already resigned from my job and will be able to come back in a couple of days to start working here, specifically at your mother's place. I can only leave once we find someone to replace her."

"Okay, then I'm relieved. Xia has been teaching Mom how to use the computer all this time. Now that we've bought another one, you should learn to use it too. You'll be using the computer for most of your work from now on."

"Don't underestimate your dad, I'm not stupid."

"Yes, yes, then I'll just wait for Dad to earn money to support my college education!"

"As long as you can pass the exam, I can afford to support you."

Su Guoyuan had just finished speaking when he heard Wen Xiaofen's question. She was tidying up her things in the room and had just asked casually.

"Xiao Nan, you're leaving tomorrow. Have you packed everything?"

"Mom, everything's packed."

"Let me check, and I'll bring you anything I'm missing."

Su Fengnan responded and continued talking to Su Guoyuan.

"Dad, after we leave, you and Mom can pack up and move in. My aunt will be bringing Xiaoyu to work tomorrow; this place is too small, we can't make it much of a space."

"Yes, we'll oversee the move, so don't worry about it." Su Guoyuan paused, then added, "It's more convenient to send Xiaoyuyu to daycare, otherwise it will affect Jianqun's work."

"My aunt said that she's been looking for a daycare for Xiaoyuyu these past few days, and he'll be sent there when school starts in September."

"By the way, I've reduced my acupuncture and medication intake recently. Since I resigned, I have more free time working from home, so I can get up early for morning exercise. I've seen a lot of people exercising in the newly built park in town. Do you want to try it? You're the pillar of our family, and health is the foundation of everything. We can't afford to get sick again."

Hearing his daughter's words of advice, Su Guoyuan felt a warmth in his heart. "We'll see how it goes. Practice whenever you have time. When you get back, don't play around too much; study hard."

Su Fengnan had said everything she wanted to say, and was just thinking about whether she had forgotten anything when she suddenly tapped her head: "Oh! Dad, I also wrote a cooperation agreement. If Aunt and Auntie both choose to join us, you can refer to this agreement."

Su Guoyuan took the contract and slowly looked through it. After finishing, he asked, "Did you write this contract?"

Su Fengnan nodded and replied, "Mm."

"Alright, I'll see how it goes."

Su Guoyuan wasn't stupid. His daughter had paved the way for him, so as a father, he had to achieve something.

Su Fengnan didn't explain much, letting her father figure it out as he pleased.

"Xiao Nan, you're so thoughtful," Su Guoyuan exclaimed.

Su Fengnan smiled and said, "Dad, you can do it!"

During this time, Su Guoyuan had been observing Su Fengnan's actions and words. He felt that his eldest daughter was precocious and intelligent, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He was particularly worried that his daughter's excessive intelligence would lead to harm, and he was afraid that she would be gone one day.

However, he kept his worries to himself and didn't tell anyone. If Su Fengnan knew that this was how her father thought of her, she would definitely think that he was overthinking things and asking for trouble.

On the evening of August 20th, at Jinshi Railway Station, Su Fengnan and her sister finally embarked on their journey home. Su Guoyuan watched his two daughters pass through security before reluctantly leaving.

They got tickets for an express train, which would take them 24 hours. Nothing happened on the return train; it was much easier than the outbound train—less crowded, and they didn't encounter any pickpockets.

The train arrived at Zhucheng Railway Station at 7:15 pm the next day. After getting off the train and leaving the station, Su Fengnan ignored how aggressive the touts were and took Su Fengxia on a bus to the city center, where they found a hotel to stay in.

As soon as she entered the hotel room, Su Fengxia threw her suitcase and bag to the side of the floor and asked angrily, "Sister, why are we staying in the city center? This hotel is too expensive, 420 yuan a night."

Actually, it wasn't that Su Fengnan insisted on staying in the city center; rather, she didn't dare stay in small hotels during this period, as it was very unsafe for two girls to stay there. Besides, it was peak tourist season, with many out-of-towners seeking respite from the summer heat, meaning hotels and guesthouses were basically full.

"Come on, what are you so angry about! If we had come any later, even if it's expensive, there wouldn't have been any rooms left. That's what the receptionist said, didn't you hear her?"

Su Fengxia's arrogance immediately deflated. "I just think it's too expensive. We can stay somewhere cheaper!"

Looking at her silly younger sister, Su Fengnan didn't want to waste any more words and directly urged her to take a bath.

"You should take a shower first, then I'll take you to the food street next door to eat something delicious."

Upon hearing that they were going to the food street, Su Fengxia instantly perked up again, opened her bag, rummaged through clean clothes, and dashed to the bathroom.

Taking advantage of the break, Su Fengnan called her parents to let them know she was safe.

"Mom, we've arrived."

"Yes, the hotel I'm staying at is very safe. Don't worry."

"We haven't eaten yet, we just arrived at the hotel. We'll go out to eat in a bit."

Ten minutes later, Su Fengxia came out after showering, and Su Fengnan had just finished his phone call. After they were both cleaned up, they left the hotel and headed to the nearby food street to find something to eat.

Upon arriving at the food street, a variety of enticing aromas filled the air, and a dazzling array of snacks appeared one after another. It was Su Fengxia's first time there, and everything seemed new and exciting. Grabbing Su Fengnan's hand excitedly, she said:

"Sis, I want some grilled skewers, grilled tofu, and something else!"
