Zhong Ling's situation has been settled. Yu Yin explained the situation to her grandparents, Aunt Hu, and the children, and they will live together from now on.

Yu Yin didn't ask about Zhong Ling's story in detail; it was a wound she carried, and she hadn't mentioned it to her family. She only said that she was helping Aunt Hu with housework and taking care of her grandparents and children. Uncle Hu was temporarily helping out at the wasteland and would come back when he had time.

The family didn't react much. These things were all decided by Yu Yin and Lu Shurui. They are old, and the younger ones just need to follow their arrangements.

The next day, Zhong Liang brought Zhong Ling over early in the morning, along with luggage. Some of it was his own, which he was going to take to the wasteland, and some was Zhong Ling's, which wasn't much, just some changes of clothes.

Yu Yin was in a hurry to get to work and didn't say much, asking Aunt Hu to help Zhong Ling settle her things. Zhong Liang could go to the wasteland by himself; they could communicate more later if anything came up.

"Brother, don't worry about work. I'll try my best to adapt. It's very comfortable here. I'm not uncomfortable. Come visit me again when you're less busy."

After settling her things, Zhong Ling smiled and told her brother to go to work without worry, as she would be fine.

"Okay, take care of yourself. I'm going to work now. I'll come see you again when I have time off. If you need anything, talk to Sister Yu Yin. She seems nice and is a good person."

"Yes, I understand, brother. I also think Sister Yu Yin is a good person, and the four children are also very good, as are Grandpa and Grandma, and Aunt Hu is also very good."

Zhong Liang picked up his things, turned around and walked out of Yu Yin's yard. He wanted to trust Zhong Ling and give her a chance to grow.

Watching her brother's departing figure, Zhong Ling's eyes welled up with tears. She silently said in her heart, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to adapt and I will definitely recover."

Zhong Liang arrived at the wasteland, found Liang Chao, and began to take over the work.

Yu Yin observed Zhong Ling for a few days and found that she adapted quite quickly. She helped Aunt Hu cook, tended to the flowers and plants in the yard, chatted with her grandmother, and occasionally even spoke a few words to her grandfather, although she subconsciously kept a distance. She liked being with the four children the most.

An'an and the others also really like the new Aunt Zhongling, who can do crafts with them.

Zhong Ling's hands are truly skillful; she can quickly learn to embroider just by watching people slowly work on it.

When Grandma got interested, she would often teach her some embroidery techniques. When they had free time, Zhongling and Manman would accompany Grandma to embroider. The kind old lady, the gentle aunt, and the quiet little girl made for a particularly heartwarming scene.

Aunt Hu also liked Zhong Ling very much. The girl was young but quick-witted. When cooking with her, she understood things very easily. She was also very diligent and didn't need to be told how to do housework. The two worked together very well and finished quickly.

Yu Yin was too busy with work to take care of her family. Aunt Hu and Zhong Ling, along with their four children and grandparents, dried all the vegetables that had grown in the yard, removing the ones meant for seeds.

In no time, the yard was filled with all sorts of dried vegetables: shredded green beans, sliced ​​eggplant, sliced ​​cucumbers, and dried potatoes...

That evening, Yu Yin came home from get off work and announced some good news.

"I have something to tell you all. We're off tomorrow, so let's go take a look at the wasteland together. Is there anyone who doesn't want to go?"

"No."

The old and young in the courtyard answered in unison, all waiting, filled with curiosity about that wasteland.

"Yinyin, I'm planning to stay with your Uncle Hu for a few days and get some clean clothes. I won't be coming back with you tomorrow."

The old man had been waiting for this day for a long time, thinking he would go there for a few days and not be in a hurry to come back.

Yu Yin agreed. Lu Shurui was there too, and Uncle Hu's house was big enough that Grandpa could stay for a few days without any problems.

Upon hearing that Yu Yin had agreed, the old man was as happy as a child and went back to his room to pack his clothes. His eagerness was truly like that of a child. They say old people are like children, and sometimes that's really true.

When people reach a certain age, they tend to return to their simpler, more natural selves!

The four children watched their great-grandfather excitedly go back to his room to pack his things, and they were very envious, but they still had classes at the children's palace to attend, so they couldn't go with him.

"Alright, no need to envy Great-Grandpa anymore. Go have fun tomorrow. If you like, the classes at the Children's Palace will end before school starts, so you can stay for a few more days."

"Long live Mom! I love Mom!"

Kuai Kuai pounced on Yu Yin like a little monkey, almost knocking his mother over. If Pingping hadn't pushed her from behind, it would have caused an accident.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong."

Kuai Kuai, who almost caused trouble, immediately apologized sincerely.

Looking at her mischievous youngest son, Yu Yin tapped his forehead with her finger and laughed in exasperation.

When something fun happened, Yu Yin didn't forget about Sister Lu. She called them to ask if they wanted to go to the wasteland for a day and received an affirmative answer.

The next day, Yu Yin and her group met up with Lu Erjie's family of five and took a minibus to the wasteland.

A dozen or so people walked along the country road. Apart from Ping An'an and some memories of Yunnan Province, Kuai Kuai and Man Man had no recollection of them. It was the first time that the three children from the second sister's family had come to the countryside, and they all found it quite novel.

The children had already seen their fathers and ran over excitedly, with Zhong Ling following behind. Yu Yin and her second sister walked behind, enjoying the different atmosphere.

"Dad, did you miss me?"

Kuai Kuai was the first to arrive, holding his dad's hand affectionately; he had missed his father.

Lu Shurui patted his youngest son's head, turned around and saw a group of children, as well as Yu Yin and her grandparents walking slowly behind them, and smiled unconsciously.

"When you guys are playing, stay away from the tractor. Don't get too close, but don't wander too far either. Just play around here and don't get separated. You're not familiar with this area."

The children nodded in agreement to their father's words of advice.

Zhuangzhuang took the lead, and Ping'an and the others went on an adventure together. This place was so big and spacious, a real vacuum.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu is here! Look at this huge plot of land, how are you feeling?"

Uncle Hu also saw Yu Yin and her group, walked over, and greeted the old man.

Zhongliang, who was talking to Huang Qiang and the others, heard the children's shouts, looked up and saw his younger sister running towards him with a big smile. He hadn't seen her for a few days, and her complexion was rosy. She seemed to have gained some weight, and her face no longer showed only timidity. She followed behind the children, very happy.

He felt he had made the right choice. Although the work had been tedious, the atmosphere was good and relaxed, making him unconsciously lower his guard. He felt hopeful for the future, and that he and his sister would have a new life.

Yu Yin entrusted her grandfather and the others to Uncle Hu's care, while she and Lu Shurui decided to explore the area. They hadn't seen each other for several days and missed each other a little. Holding hands, they walked slowly along the wasteland, Lu Shurui occasionally saying something.

Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether old, young, or child, felt an indescribable sense of happiness!
