"Xiaofeng and I are going out. You guys stay at home and behave yourself. If you have anything to do, wait until we come back."

"Okay, I know, don't worry!"

Miao Guihua rolled her eyes at her husband. She didn't need him to grumble around. Just do your work, and be quick. It wasn't like she would have any problems at home.

"The working group was unsuccessful the last time they came. I suspect they'll make another move soon. Be careful. I've already notified the village chief and clan leader, and they'll be restraining their members."

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry! I'm not stupid."

Miao Guihua rolled her eyes. They weren't stupid, they were incredibly smart. How could they possibly have let the task force catch them? Besides, their identities were already flawless. There was no need to worry about them being exposed, let alone those people.

"Yes. Okay then, I'll go to the county town to pick up Mr. Wen and the others."

"Go! Go! By the way, when you get to the county town, remember to buy some hair ornaments and clothes for Niuniu. The styles in the county town will definitely be better than those in town."

Miao Guihua gave her husband some instructions and took out all the cloth coupons, food coupons, and money she had on hand. It was time to spend all the coupons, otherwise they would be useless once the deadline came and would be a complete waste.

"Yeah, okay."

Shen Chenfeng nodded, put the bill away, took the letter of introduction from the village chief, and took Shen Feng with him on a donkey cart, intending to go to the town and then transfer to another bus to the county town.

"Mom, I'm going to Grandma Shen's house." Shen Yun was bored and wanted to slip away.

"OK."

At the guesthouse, Wen Xunqing looked at his grandson and granddaughter and couldn't help but feel grief in his heart. Sigh... He would take it one step at a time, hoping that Shen Chenfeng wouldn't let him down.

"Grandpa...don't be sad."

"grandfather……"

Malt, standing by, couldn't help but comfort Grandpa. No one had expected something like this to happen. They had originally planned to leave safely, but now they were being forced to take the blame and face the infamy. However, just thinking about leaving the capital, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the capital and at home was becoming increasingly unsettled. They all felt the anxiety, unease, and apprehension. Being able to leave would ease the tension in their hearts a little.

"Yes, Grandpa knows."

Seeing his grandson's composure, Wen Xunqing felt a faint sense of pride. This was his grandson, the grandson he was most proud of.

"Have you retrieved your luggage from the post office? Also, our final destination must not be known to anyone."

"It's been retrieved, Grandpa, don't worry!"

Wen Maidong nodded calmly. He had already taken care of everything. He was already a grown-up boy, and he needed to step up and shoulder the responsibility of the family. From now on, it would only be his grandfather and sister, and he had to grow up.

"Well, then I'm relieved."

As the Wen family's grandfather and grandson talked, they discussed some matters that needed to be done in the future. They both tacitly did not tell the final bad news, because they still had hope in their hearts and did not want to be too disappointed.

…

After several transfers, the Shen family father and son finally found their agreed-upon place. Looking at the people passing by, and the Red Guards holding the Little Red Book, they both walked forward in silence, their heads lowered. They didn't dare to show any difference; silence was the best cover.

"Dad...it's here!"

"Yes, it's here. This is the place where your Grandpa Wen and I agreed to meet. I don't know how Grandpa Wen and the others are doing now."

Shen Chenfeng sighed with deep emotion. He hadn't expected to meet the old man from the Wen family this time, nor had he expected that the old man would choose to entrust them to his side. Sigh... Shen Chenfeng sorted out his chaotic thoughts. Now was not the time to think about these things.

"So...should we go in right away or buy something first and then go in?"

Chen Feng was a little conflicted. He wanted to buy some things for his mother and sister first so that he could go back after picking them up.

"Come in first! Uncle Wen and I still have something to discuss. During this time, take your uncle Wen's grandchildren and have a good time exploring the county."

"Okay then... let's arrange it this way." Shen Feng felt relieved when he heard this. Anyway, the money and bills were on him, so it didn't matter whether his father went or not.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

The knock on the door instantly alerted Wen Xunqing. He gestured to his grandson to open the door and see who it was. He hoped it was the person they were expecting.

“Uncle Wen…it’s me, Shen Chenfeng.”

"Hello, Uncle Shen."

"Grandpa Wen..."

Wen Maidong and Shen Feng exchanged glances, each responding briefly before instantly withdrawing, not glancing at the other. After a round of fighting, they both understood their respective strengths and potential. They were both evenly matched, and who would be stronger would be determined in the subsequent matches.

"Uncle Wen...how are you?" Shen Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally asked about what had happened during this period.

Wen Xunqing, who was standing by, also sent his grandson and granddaughter away, signaling him to stay in the room with Shen Chenfeng to discuss the future. Since the decision had already been made, he never thought of changing it, nor did he think of not going forward.

"The capital is in chaos, everyone's gone mad. The Chairman... can't do anything about it, nor do I want to. I brought Maidong and Maiya out, but because of my identity, I was forced to take the blame. This might drag you down, and might even cause your village to suffer a bad blow..."

"It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Wen. Now that you're here, you're one of us. Shenjiazhuang isn't that weak. The clan leader has already prepared a new identity for you. However, you probably won't be able to contact the capital anymore."

Shen Chenfeng looked at Wen Xunqing apologetically. He couldn't contact his family or friends outside. If there were any new developments in the capital, perhaps that would be the time for Uncle Wen to contact his family and friends.

"I know, don't worry! I've already made all the preparations!"

"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved."

"Everything in the village has been arranged. As for the house, if you'd like, you can live with us. If not, there's another house next door that I'm planning to give to the children when they grow up. You can live there first, but everything isn't ready yet, so you need to take care of it."

"Having a safe place to live is a blessing for me now."

Wen Xunqing waved his hand. All he wanted now was a safe place like this. He could take his grandson and granddaughter with him to live out this turmoil in this remote village, waiting for the situation to change.
