Sheng An loves to think about what the future will be like. When Sheng Lao San asked, she squinted her eyes, looked up at the blue sky, and said yearnfully: "I want to go to university. I heard from my sister that there are night schools in the city. When I get to the city, I can first attend a night school, then take the college entrance exam. It's not too late for me to go to university at my age! I must learn how to make money at school, earn lots and lots of money, and bring you and mom to live in the city."
"It's my fault for not being able to support your studies."
"Dad, what are you talking about? In our village, Sis and I have studied the longest. The boys from other families can't compare with Sis and me. Look at Xu Laodi — she's the village chief's daughter — she only graduated from elementary school, right?" Sheng An never complained about her family. She was a stepchild brought into the family by her mom, but her dad never disliked her; she knew all this.
