The next day, Yang Baiyi's family was having breakfast when the main room was already crowded with people who came to see them off.

All the educated youth were here, including Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe.

"Le Le, Auntie is going back to her hometown. I'll play with you when I come back!"

After finishing her meal, the little girl said goodbye to her little nephew solemnly.

"Grandma and Grandpa, the rice, flour, grain, oil, and meat buried in the snow in the kitchen are enough for you to eat until we come back. Don't be reluctant to eat while we are away."

Before leaving, Yang Baiyi gave some instructions to his grandparents, fearing that they would be too frugal.

"Don't worry, go home and behave well. Try to leave a good impression on Wanru's parents. I'll take care of your grandparents."

Xiao Fuxing winked at Yang Baiyi.

"Okay then, I'll leave grandma and grandpa to my uncle. Don't let them get hurt."

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, just go home and visit your family. We will come over often to talk to your grandparents."

The educated youth gave their assurances one by one.

"Okay, thank you all for that."

The educated youth loaded Yang Baiyi's luggage onto the ox cart.

Looking at the large and small bags of luggage and gifts, Yang Baiyi felt a little worried.

With Lin Wanru around, it was inconvenient to put these things into the space, and I also had to guide the car on the road. I had no choice but to do the hard labor.

"Grandma and Grandpa, don't see me off. It's very cold. You should go back quickly!"

Yang Baiyi sat on the ox cart and kept urging his grandparents to go back, but the old couple were still sent to the village entrance with everyone's company.

"Grandma and Grandpa, please go home quickly. If you don't go back, we won't leave. We'll all be freezing here."

After confronting each other for dozens of seconds, the old couple finally compromised and walked towards the village, looking back every few steps.

"Alright, Tiger, let's go too."

The oxcart started off again, heading towards the town's railway station.

"Doctor Yang, when will you be back? When should I come to pick you up?"

Hu Zi asked with some difficulty.

This time was different from the previous times. In the past, when Dr. Yang went to the county, it would either be two days or three days, and there was always a specific time.

But this time he is going home to visit relatives, and even Dr. Yang himself probably can't tell the exact day he will be back. How should he pick him up at the station?

"It's okay, Huzi. I can't tell when I'll be back. If I can get on the bus, I'll do it. If not, I'll find a way myself."

Yang Baiyi patted Hu Zi's shoulder. This boy was really honest and cute.

Because there was a lot of luggage this time, Hu Zi tied up the ox cart and took Yang Baiyi directly to the station. He didn't go back until he got on the train.

"Brother, does this train take us directly home?"

Xiaoxiao was sitting obediently in the window seat. I still have some vague memories of the train ride last year. I remember that we took a very long train ride.

"No, we have to change buses when we get to the city."

The last time I came here, the train's final destination was Hailin County. This time I started from the town, but I didn't take the same train.

After all, the journey is long, so Yang Baiyi plans to go to the military compound in the city to ask if he can get some sleeper tickets.

Given the old leader's rank, it probably wouldn't be a difficult task.

At noon, the train stopped at Danjiang Station. The passengers in the carriage rushed to the door with their luggage. Yang Baiyi and the other two did not squeeze in with the others because they had too much luggage.

"Could you please help me with my luggage?"

Most people had gotten out, and the conductor was ready to clean the carriage with a broom and dustpan.

"Can't you see I'm busy? Why are you carrying so much luggage on a train? Are you using the train as a train?"

The flight attendant rolled her eyes.

At this time, the eight members were very arrogant and had a condescending attitude, and customers had no channels to complain.

"Comrade, I do have a lot of luggage, and I'm bringing my sister with me, so it's a bit inconvenient."

A pack of Zhonghua cigarettes was quietly put into the flight attendant's pocket.

"Comrade, are all these your luggage? I'll take the big one."

Although it only flashed in front of him, the flight attendant was sure that there was a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes in the pocket. The flight attendant, who was impatient just now, immediately turned into a good comrade serving the people.

The flight attendant carried the largest bag of luggage and accompanied Yang Baiyi and the others to the exit. He greeted them warmly before leaving.

"Brother, the flight attendant seemed impatient just now, so why did he help us with our luggage in the end?"

The change in the flight attendant's attitude left the little girl confused.

"Maybe he was willing to help us because he saw how cute Xiaoxiao was."

Yang Baiyi didn't want his sister to be exposed to the dirty side of society too early.

Yang Baiyi called a tricycle, moved the luggage onto the tricycle, reported the address of the military compound, and the three of them left Danjiang Railway Station.

"Comrade, are you going to the military district to visit relatives?"

From the rickshaw pullers in the past to the tricycle drivers now, and the taxi drivers in the future, there are few who are not talkative, and almost every one of them is a community hero.

"Yes, my brother is serving in the military. I came to see him after the New Year when I have nothing to do."

Yang Baiyi responded casually.

"Then your brother is quite impressive. Most soldiers are stationed in other places. Those who can serve in the military compound are assigned to cadre positions when they are sent out."

The seventh-rank official is the prime minister's doorman. This sentence is applicable in any era.

"My son is also a soldier, but he's not in Northeast China, he's in the south. He said it never snows in the south all year round. Many southerners have never seen snow in their forties. It's really pitiful."

Thinking about the fact that it snows in Northeast China for half a year, the tricycle driver felt a sense of superiority.

"It's really pitiful."

Yang Baiyi couldn't bear to tell the tricycle driver that crops in the south can be harvested three times a year and there are fruits in all seasons, so he let the tricycle driver continue to be proud of his hometown.

When they arrived at the military compound, Yang Baiyi paid fifty cents to the tricycle driver.

"Comrade, please call Huang Xishan for me and tell him that someone named Yang Baiyi is looking for him."

Yang Baiyi came to the sentry post and spoke politely.

Although Yang Baiyi had been to the military compound, he always came in a jeep, so the soldiers on the sentry post did not recognize him.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Although Yang Baiyi looked unfamiliar, he was looking for the commander's guard platoon leader, and the soldiers on the sentry post did not dare to neglect him.

He handed the gun to his comrade, returned to the guardhouse, and called the old leader's home.

"Doctor Yang, please go to the guardhouse and rest for a while. Platoon Leader Huang will be here soon."

When he came out again, the little soldier's face was full of respect.

Yang Baiyi left his luggage outside and took Lin Wanru and Yang Xiaoxiao into the guardhouse.

"Doctor Yang, didn't Director Sun come with you?"

Huang Xishan jumped out of the jeep and looked around but couldn't find Sun Zhenhua.

"No, I'm on home leave and passed by Danjiang City. I came to see the old leader."
