Gu Zhiyun, however, did not feel embarrassed at all, as if it was perfectly normal for a grown man like him to bring his wife's underwear on a business trip.

"Jingya, we will be separated for three whole weeks. During these three weeks, I will not be able to write to you, make phone calls, or send telegrams."

Gu Zhiyun pulled Shen Jingyan into his arms, kissing her forehead and nose tenderly, wanting to absorb as much of his little wife's scent as possible. "If I don't smell your scent for three weeks, I'll have insomnia."

In that era, international communication was indeed underdeveloped, and Gu Zhiyun was gone for three whole weeks without a word.

But can that justify his abnormal behavior?

"Could you take something else instead? What if someone sees this..."

Gu Zhiyun assured him confidently, "No, I will be very careful."

Shen Jingyan couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to go with him.

A week after the final exams, Professor Xu's research team boarded a plane.

Because Old Xu was forgetful, Gu Zhiyun and Yang Xuechang became his assistants, staying by his side every step of the way.

Remembering how Old Man Xu missed his stop on the train and lost his luggage on the train, unexpectedly ending up in a forest farm in Northeast China, it's hard to imagine what would have happened to him if Shen Jingyan hadn't taken him back to Dalin Village in a tricycle.

If Old Man Xu were to get lost in the United States, it would definitely become international news.

After seeing Gu Zhiyun off, Shen Jingyan also made plans for the summer vacation.

She decided to live on the farm most of the time and work alongside the workers.

For the first three days after separating from Gu Zhiyun, she didn't feel anything, but the longer it went on, the more she missed the person next to her.

This must be what it feels like to have sleepless nights alone.

To alleviate the pain of longing, Shen Jingyan worked hard during the day so that she would be exhausted and fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow at night, leaving her with less time to miss her lover.

In June of this year, Shen Yulan and Feifei took the college entrance examination together. Shen Yulan applied to Beijing Normal University, while Feifei, unsurprisingly, applied to the Arts and Literature College of Beijing Military University, determined to become a female soldier in the arts.

Everyone knows what the girl is thinking.

When summer vacation arrived, Shen Yulan came to the farm to help out, and she also brought Anzi and Mingxiu with her.

Feifei also often comes to the farm to play. She is so fond of the farm's cats that she almost eats and lives with them.

The farm became more lively, filled with laughter every day.

It was raining that day, so the workers played cards and listened to the radio in the meeting room, while Zhang Guizhi sat to the side, busy with her needlework.

At this moment, Grandpa Wang came in and said to Shen Honggang:

"Gangzi, you got a call from the forest farm back home."

Shen Honggang hurriedly got up to go to the guard room to answer the phone.

He originally thought it was Shen Zhiqiang calling. His eldest son had now taken over his position at the forest farm and was working there. He would call Shen Honggang from time to time, and sometimes he would have his grandson say a few words to Shen Honggang.

Shen Honggang's biggest worry was that Chen Feng would go to Shen Zhiqiang to ask for money and disrupt the young couple's family harmony. However, Pan Yunxia was a formidable character, and after scolding her a few times, Chen Feng dared not go.

So for the past six months, Shen Honggang had only heard good news from Shen Zhiqiang, and he gradually felt at ease.

"Hey Gangzi, are you doing alright over there?"

Shen Honggang answered the phone, but to his surprise, it wasn't Shen Zhiqiang calling; it was Grandma Xu from the forest farm.

"It's Aunt Xu! Everything is fine here, the crops are great! Jingya's seeds are amazing! They're resistant to floods and droughts, and they don't get sick or pests! When we have a good harvest this year, I'll take some seeds back to my hometown so that everyone in our hometown can plant these high-quality seeds!"

Grandma Xu responded with a few words, but she didn't seem interested in the crops; she clearly had something to say.

"Auntie, what's wrong? Did something happen at the forest farm?"

Grandma Xu sighed deeply and said, "Oh! Gangzi, I don't even know how to tell you this..."

Shen Honggang's brow twitched violently.

"Did something happen to my family? Is Qiangzi alright? Is Yunxia alright? Or did something happen to Xiaobao?"

Grandma Xu hurriedly said, "Qiangzi's family is doing well! It's your second daughter, Shen Yuqin..."

Upon hearing the name "Shen Yuqin," a complex mix of irritation, helplessness, and worry welled up in Shen Honggang's heart.

Grandma Xu sighed several times.

"Gangzi, I don't even know how to tell you this, Chen Feng is such a sin..."

"Auntie, what exactly happened to Yuqin?" Shen Honggang's voice trembled slightly.

Although he harbored resentment towards his disappointing daughter, he was now more worried than angry.

“Gangzi, you have to come back. Yuqin was beaten, Chen Feng ran away, and abandoned the child at the town clinic. Lao Xu went to talk to Qiangzi, but you know Yunxia's temper. Yunxia doesn't want Qiangzi to take care of it, so how dare Qiangzi! Lao Xu paid the medical expenses, which is fine, but Yuqin has been lying in the clinic, which isn't good! She's been threatening to kill herself every day, and only you, her father, can take care of her.”

Shen Honggang's heart pounded when he heard these words.

Shen Yuqin was beaten up? Chen Feng abandoned Shen Yuqin and ran away?

"Auntie, what happened? Who hit Yuqin? Where did Chen Feng go? Has she abandoned her daughter?"

Grandma Xu sighed repeatedly, "That Chen Feng, what a terrible thing! She found Shen Yuqin a man who is almost forty years old, a widower with three children! Chen Feng lied to that man, saying that Yuqin was a virgin who could bear sons, and the man believed her. Chen Feng took two hundred yuan from him as a bride price and coaxed Shen Yuqin into going with her. Who knew that the man would find out that Yuqin wasn't... Sigh, I'm too embarrassed to tell you!"
