"The people here will take us back to Xinliang first, mainly to hand over the work over there and also to pack up our things.

This time we will take Siyun back first so that you can take care of her here."

"I want to go back. When I go back, can I catch up with you guys when you leave?"

Lin Huaci shook his head: "This kind of thing is uncertain. We kept it secret when we set out."

Meng Si Ning felt a little depressed.

When I returned to the compound in the evening, my parents-in-law were the only ones at home, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the two elders were easy to talk to, and Meng Si Ning told them that his parents were going to take Lin Xiaodi back home.

Lu Zhanting also said that he would send them to the station that day.

Back in the room, although this was their wedding room, Meng Si Ning still felt a little uncomfortable, especially since Lu Cheng was not there.

Turned around and went into space.

I thought that the place where my mother and Uncle Lin were going must be difficult.

I bought several sets of underwear, socks, autumn clothes, autumn trousers, and fleece pants in the mall.

Warm gloves, scarves, hats, and my mom's favorite coffee.

The soap and shampoo I bought were all in big, ordinary buckets with no markings on them.

I also bought a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes. Then I bought a large bag.

Put all these things in place.

When I arrived at the living room, Jiang Tang was already there, eating mangosteen.

"Girl, how was your wedding night?"

Meng Si Ning glanced at her unhappily: "Very good."

"Wow, it looks like a harmonious couple. Congratulations. What's wrong? You look unhappy. Is it because your husband passed away?"

"My mom and Uncle Lin are leaving too. I've prepared some things for them. Can you help me see if there's anything missing?"

Jiang Tang looked at the big bag of things and said, "Can't they buy it there?"

"There should be daily necessities. I've prepared plenty of clothes."

"Well, you can prepare some paper."

"Oh, yes. Okay, I'll go buy it later."

"Can they carry all the stuff you've brought?"

“It’s a little troublesome on the way, but it’s much more convenient once you get there.”

"That's true. Do you know whether they went south or north?"

Meng Sining shook his head.

"What if they go to the south? They won't be able to wear the autumn clothes and long johns you prepared."

"Just in case, more is better than less."

"That's true. How's work going for you?"

"I translated a foreign archival document into Korean this afternoon, and our teacher praised me."

"Of course, I feel that the white moonlight in your book still has some luck, and you will definitely be able to stay this time. Woo woo, if you stay, we won't see each other again in the future."

Meng Si Ning hugged her and patted her: "Even though we are thousands of miles apart now, we still see each other, right?"

During the two days in the translation department, Meng Sining immersed himself in work.

The documents assigned by the teacher involved state secrets, materials in various languages ​​such as English, French, Korean, and Japanese. As long as she was proficient in them, the teacher was confident in handing them over to her.

On the third day, the teacher gathered everyone together and gave a detailed summary of the problems encountered in each person's translation. He also praised the outstanding performance of some students.

This day was the day when Meng Sining's parents left Beijing, taking the afternoon train.

At noon, Meng Sining hurried to his mother's workplace carrying a heavy package.

Lin Huaci saw his daughter from afar and hurried over to take the package: "Ningning, why are you carrying so many things? Is it heavy?"

Meng Si Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "These are the daily necessities I prepared for you. There are warm clothes and some common medicines. When you go out, be sure to take good care of yourself."

As he was speaking, Lu Zhanting's car slowly drove up. He got out and greeted them warmly: "Lao Lin, Comrade Si, I'll take you to the station today."

Lin Huaci and Si Youyuan thanked him repeatedly, their faces full of emotion.

The group headed to the train station. Along the way, Meng Si Ning held her mother's hand tightly and repeatedly reminded her, "Mom, be careful on the train and take good care of your belongings. When you get there, remember to call me to let me know you're safe."

Si Youyuan's eyes were red as she gently stroked her daughter's hair: "Ningning, you have to take good care of yourself and don't work too hard. Live a good life with Lu Cheng."

When we arrived at the train station, we heard a notification over the radio that a train was about to arrive.

Meng Si Ning's eyes instantly became moist, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Dad, Mom, I will miss you."

Lin Huaci patted his daughter's shoulder, suppressing his reluctance to let her go: "Ningning, you've grown up and need to learn to be independent. You have to take care of yourself when we're not around."

Lin Xiaodi said: "Sister, I will wait for you to come back home."

"good."

Lu Zhanting also comforted him, "Lao Lin, Comrade Si, don't worry, the two children will be in Beijing from now on, and we will treat them as our own children."

The train started slowly. Meng Si Ning and Lu Zhan Ting stood on the platform and waved goodbye to Lin Huaci and Si Youyuan in the car.

Meng Si Ning looked at the train moving further and further away, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lu Zhanting hurriedly advised, "Ningning, don't be too sad. You and Chengzi should find time to visit them later."

Meng Si Ning wiped his tears and nodded: "Yes, Dad."

Accompanied by Lu Zhanting, Meng Sining slowly left the train station. Although she was reluctant to leave her parents, she knew that she was carrying their expectations and had to bravely start a new life.

Time flew by, and two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, the day arrived to decide whether to stay or go. Early in the morning, the classroom was filled with tension, and the students were fidgeting. Zhou Qiuli leaned over to Meng Si Ning, her voice trembling, "Si Ning, I'm so nervous. I haven't heard anything yet. I think I translated well, but I'm still unsure."

Meng Si Ning patted Zhou Qiuli on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's all over. It all depends on how the department considers it. I've made up my mind. If I don't get selected this time, I'll try again next time."

Zhou Qiuli took a deep breath and nodded, "Well, if I don't get selected this time, I won't give up next time."

Not long after, Teacher Chen walked into the classroom with a stack of documents and a serious expression.

The originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the list in Teacher Chen's hand.

Meng Si Ning was so nervous that he swallowed several times and clenched his hands unconsciously.

Teacher Chen cleared his throat, glanced around the classroom, and slowly said, "After a rigorous review by the department, I now announce the five students who have outstanding performance and are eligible to stay."

The classroom was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

"Chen Qing, Meng Sining, Wang Weixin, Zhou Qiuli, Zhang Wei."

When Teacher Chen read out each name, there were bursts of exclamations in the classroom.

When his name was called, Chen Qing jumped up excitedly: "I stayed! I really stayed!"

Wang Weixin's face was full of joy and he kept thanking the students around him.

Zhou Qiuli's eyes were red as she held Meng Si Ning's hand: "Si Ning, we're staying, that's great!"
