A few days later, the person who came to pick us up arrived.

It was just around noon when work was about to end, and a car suddenly came to the team. Many people were curious when they saw it. As it was almost time to get off work, everyone followed the car all the way to the cowshed.

This car was seen not only by the people of the Yuejin Production Brigade, but also by the people of the Hongqi Production Brigade. Before long, a circle of people gathered in front of the cowshed where Zhao Rongsheng and his friends lived, including people from both brigades.

"Hey, who is this car looking for?"

"Stop here, are you looking for Doctor Zhao?"

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Oh, I was just saying I haven't been feeling well these past few days and was planning to see Doctor Zhao. I don't know what will happen next."

"What do you think? Could this car be coming to pick them up?" Everyone gathered together and whispered.

"I don't know. Let's take a look here. It doesn't look like a bad thing."

“…”

These days, many people come to Zhao Rongsheng for medical treatment. Of course, they still have to come secretly, but everyone knows it in their hearts and turns a blind eye.

Having been treated by Zhao Rongsheng, their hearts are naturally with him, so at this moment they are all sincerely worried about Zhao Rongsheng's family.

Gao Zhifu heard the news and went to his workplace to call Zhao Rongsheng and the others back. Hearing that the people who came to pick them up had arrived, Zhao Rongsheng looked up and exchanged a glance with Jiang Qiuli, and then the two of them followed Gao Zhifu back without saying a word.

"Comrade Zhao, you have worked hard. We are responsible for sending you back this time." After listening to Gao Zhifu's introduction, a young man spoke.

Zhao Rongsheng nodded and thanked them: "Okay, I'll trouble you along the way."

"It's not a problem, it's what we should do."

"You guys go in and pack your things first, and we'll help you. If there's nothing else, we'll leave after you're done."

Zhao Rongsheng said, "We have almost packed up the things. There are still some odds and ends. The two of us can handle it. Please wait for a moment, young comrades."

"Okay, we'll wait for you here."

After Zhao Rongsheng finished speaking, he said hello to Gao Zhifu and went into the house with Jiang Qiuli to pack up his things. Shen Yibei didn't know where he had gone at this moment, but he already knew

Since he had already planned to leave soon, Zhao Rongsheng didn't worry too much about him, knowing that he would definitely come back on his own later.

Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli packed up quickly. They didn't have much stuff to begin with, and they had already packed up in advance, so it didn't take them long. They simply packed up, folded the bed, and went out with their two bags.

The two people who were responsible for picking them up took the things and put them in the trunk: "Now that it's ready, we're going to leave. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli glanced around the crowd and spotted the Song family members at the back. Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu, and the others were there, along with Feng Guizhi, who had just arrived. Catching their gaze, they raised their hands and waved.

Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli felt a little tearful in their eyes for a moment, they withdrew their gaze and lowered their heads slightly.

"Comrades, please wait for a moment. One person hasn't arrived yet."

......

At this moment, Shen Yibei was staying at the old Song family. When he heard the news just now, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to meet the people of the old Song family for the last time and say goodbye in person.

So, thinking this, he did it and quickly ran to Old Song's house to say goodbye to Baoya who was at home.

"I'm leaving soon. I won't be able to wait for your birthday or see you go to school, but I believe we will see each other again in the future."

"I can't wait for your brothers to finish school, so please say goodbye to them on my behalf." Shen Yibei looked at Baoya with calm eyes, raised his hand and rubbed her little head.

Baoya understood the meaning of his words, and her little face was filled with sadness and reluctance. Her little hands tightly grasped the corner of Shen Yibei's clothes, as if pulling him not to let him leave.

"I won't be here anymore, and there will be no one to play with you. Remember not to go to the back mountain alone."

"Do you still remember the locations of those wild fruit trees? I'll write them down for you so that when Bowen and the others are not in school, you can go over and pick them together."

"Matsutake mushrooms are hard to find, so I won't tell you how to find them. Your fourth uncle knows, and he'll go there himself in the future."

There was already mist in Baoya's big eyes, and the tears fell when she blinked. Shen Yibei sighed in his heart and reached out to gently wipe away her tears.

"Don't cry, we'll see each other again when you grow up."

"Xiao Baoya, wait for you

"When you go to school, you must study hard. When you grow up, the college entrance examination should be resumed. You must work hard and come to Kyoto. I will wait for you there, okay?"

"I have to go now. See you next time, little Baoya."

Shen Yibei finished speaking softly, lowered his head and took Baoya's little hand, letting her loosen the corner of her clothes. Then, he turned and left.

Baoya behind her was crying with tears in her eyes. The little girl didn’t know what separation meant. She only knew that she would never see her brother Yibei again.

......

After Shen Yibei left the Old Song family, he took a few deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, and ran towards the cowshed. There, Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli were waiting for him.

After Shen Yibei arrived, they did not stay any longer. Zhao Rongsheng said a few words of thanks to Gao Zhifu and then got in the car.

The car started up, and the people around it automatically made way for it. Slowly, the car drove out of the crowd.

Not far away, Xu Zhijin stood at the door of his house and looked over there. He saw three people sitting in the open car window. He waved at them, saying a silent goodbye.

He thought Zhao Rongsheng and the others couldn't see him, but Zhao Rongsheng looked over from the car and saw everything he did. He also reached out the window and waved in Xu Zhijin's direction.

See you again if fate permits.

Jiang Qiuli's eyes were red, and Zhao Rongsheng raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears. The car drove forward, and slowly the Yuejin Production Brigade and the Hongqi Production Brigade behind them became smaller and smaller until they were no longer visible.

After they left, everyone in the team couldn't help but talk about it: "Oh, Doctor Zhao is gone. We can't go to him when we are sick in the future."

"Doctor Zhao is a good man with a kind heart. No wonder he was taken back. I knew that such a person could not be a capitalist."

"Yeah, it's a pity that we met him too late. It would have been better if we had known him earlier."

The person next to her poked her arm and said, "If you had known this earlier, would you have dared to get to know him?"

After all, he was also a person in the cowshed. If it weren't for the fact that he saved Maodan, Song Yuangang would have just stood there without saying anything, and they wouldn't have dared to talk to Zhao Rongsheng later.

Everyone talked together for a while, feeling a lot of emotion, and then turned the topic to Xu Zhijin.

"Hey, Doctor Zhao

"I'm gone. What about the one from our team? Will he be gone soon?"

"I heard he's a teacher. He looks well-educated. He should be picked up later, right?"

"I don't know. I guess I'll have to ask the captain about this."

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway. It's almost noon, let's all go home quickly so we can cook dinner."

"Let's go."

“…”

The crowd dispersed soon, and the people from the old Song family did not stay long. Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan and the others watched the car go away and left first.

When I got home, Baoya was squatting in the yard crying, her eyes were red.

Knowing that she was reluctant to leave Shen Yibei and the others, Yang Yulan carried her back to the house and comforted her softly. Perhaps she was tired of crying, and it didn't take long for Baoya to close her eyes and slowly fall asleep.

The eyeballs were still hanging on her face, so Yang Yulan gently wiped them away, then wet a towel with warm water and wiped her face. After watching her for a while and making sure she was asleep, Yang Yulan got up and left.

Baoya, who was soundly sleeping, slowly had another dream.

In her dream, she and her brothers were playing with Shen Yibei, just like they had done countless times before. Later, they all grew up and became adults, and they met again in a place she had never been to.

After dreaming about this, Baoya's originally frowned brows slowly relaxed.

......

When Bowen Yuanbao and the others got home from school that night, they heard the news that Shen Yibei and the others had left. Their faces immediately fell. Yun Duo couldn't help crying, and even Tian En and Wen Jie wiped away their tears.

"Brother Yibei, why did you leave so quickly? You didn't even wait for us to come back."

"If I had known that Brother Yibei would leave today, today... today I would have asked for leave and not gone to class."

"Wow, wow, there will be no one to pick wild fruits for us to eat, and no one to teach us." The little ones burst into tears, and the adults who saw them also felt sad.

"Grandma, Brother Yibei's home is in Kyoto. Is Kyoto far from us? Can we go find him when we miss him in the future?" Wen Zhi asked while wiping his tears and sobbing.

"When you grow up, you can go find him." Feng Guizhi said softly.

Yuanbao, who always shouted the loudest in the past, was unusually quiet today. He kept his head down and didn't say a word.

After a while, he returned to the east room, locked the door, lay down on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and still did not make any sound.

After a long while, low sobbing sounds were heard.

For several days, the younger ones were in a very low mood. It was Baoya who, on the other hand, said to her older brothers earnestly, "When you grow up, you will be able to meet Brother Yibei."

Baoya recalled the scene in her dream. When she grew as tall as her mother, she would be able to see Brother Yibei.
