Inside the letter they received was a piece of paper which was a certificate issued by Tang County. With this document, they arrived at the county town and completed the procedures for returning to the city in a short time.

Then they went to the county's motorcade and asked if there was any car going to the provincial capital so they could get a ride.

The population here is only one-third of Tang County, and there is only one convoy. If the other party does not make this arrangement, the four people will have to walk.

However, it takes nearly twenty hours to drive from here to the provincial capital, and they couldn't even imagine walking.

Therefore, while waiting, Li Chen and others were praying silently in their hearts.

It seemed as if God heard their thoughts and actually arranged a car for them to go to the provincial capital.

It’s just that the time is quite close, so we’ll set off tomorrow morning.

Li Chen looked embarrassed and asked the driver, "How often do you go to the provincial capital?"

The driver shook his head. "I'm not sure about the time. The last time I went there was two months ago."

Hearing this, several people couldn't hold it anymore.

They came over and discussed it quietly, and finally decided to leave tomorrow morning.

As for the remaining three portions of food, I gave them to my friends after dinner.

On the way to deliver the food, Li Chen said to Ge Shui, "Brother Ge, I'll have to trouble you again tonight, but don't worry, your work won't be in vain. We will give you some compensation."

Ge Shui smiled and waved his hands, "My family has taken so much advantage of you, I don't have the face to ask for compensation, so I'll give it to you for free this time. Oh, and you don't have to give the team compensation, that's mine."

The donkey cart is public property and can be borrowed, but you have to pay some money to the team every time you borrow it.

Li Chen wanted to argue with him, but then he thought that what he said was quite right. He had taken such a big advantage, so he deserved to bleed a little.

So he directly expressed his gratitude, and Liu Yunxiao and the other two echoed him.

When I arrived at the place, I found some friends in the fields.

They were surprised to see Li Chen and his three companions coming over.

When they learned that the four of them were going back to Tang County the next morning, they were not only envious, but also a little jealous.

Of course, these emotions didn't last long before they were replaced by excitement.

The cause of the excitement is food.

It was less than two hours before the end of work, and even so, they were reluctant to ask everyone to take leave, so they only asked the only girl to take leave to take the four people back to their residence.

After weighing the grain and completing the transaction, Li Chen asked her if she needed help taking the letter back.

The girl wrote a letter on the spot, then took paper and pen to the field and asked the remaining three people to lie on the edge of the field to write letters, and then handed them to Li Chen after they finished writing.

Li Chen accepted the letter, said goodbye and left.

Not long after walking, he turned his head and saw that the four friends were not working. Instead, they were standing there looking at him and the others. Two of them even made gestures of wiping their eyes with the backs of their hands.

This scene made Li Chen couldn't help but sigh, and he raised his arms and waved them vigorously twice.

Seeing his actions, his friends dispersed.

After returning to Nangou Brigade, they first had a sumptuous meal at the brigade captain's house. Then the two parties completed the house transaction under the witness of the brigade accountant and others. Finally, Li Chen and his three companions returned to their residence to prepare food and pack up.

When everything was done, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, those who had a good relationship with them were standing outside the cave, intending to see them off.

This scene made the eyes of Li Chen and the other three turn red instantly.

Although the more than two years I spent in the countryside were mostly tiring and difficult, there was also warmth.

It took a whole night to deliver the three portions of food.

It is worth mentioning that of the 19 people who came from Tang County, except for Li Chen and the other three, none of the remaining people left.

Including the children of Li Xu’s colleagues.

Although everyone in the motorcade received a work target from Li Mei last year, unfortunately, these targets were not used for the people who went to the countryside.

There is no way, we really can’t give it to them.

Last year, Tang County made some adjustments to its policy on going to the countryside, stipulating that as long as each household had one person going to the countryside, they would no longer need to send anyone to the countryside.

Later, when the policy of returning to the city was released, the county added a few more points to this regulation.

One of the points is that the young people who come back to take over the job can only work for them and cannot transfer it away.

This is done to prevent people from getting stuck.

To put it simply, if there were no restrictions, even if there were four or five people in the family who went to the countryside, as long as there was a job, they could all be brought back by filling in their positions.

This regulation made the veteran drivers of the car team very uncomfortable.

Because they have several sons.

As mentioned before, they pay attention to the order of seniority, and work is arranged according to the age of the children.

But the child who went to the countryside had an older brother who was married but had no job.

If we skip them and give the jobs directly to the migrant workers, they will become alienated from their parents.

Choosing to abandon another child in order to prevent one child from suffering is a loss no matter how you look at it.

So after much deliberation, the masters decided to let the children continue to stay in the countryside.

Ge Shui sent the four people to the place they had agreed with the driver. Instead of going back, he stayed there to chat with them.

He didn't leave until they were in the car.

The back of the car was empty, allowing Li Chen and others to lie down and rest.

After discussion, they decided to take turns sleeping in pairs.

Just like that, accompanied by the crying of Liu Yunxiao's son Liu Zhenyang, Li Chen fell asleep first.

After several days of bumpy ride, the group finally got off the train.

It was already past five in the afternoon.
