When they saw Zheng Ying and his companions, the four people from the commune were all shocked.
Why are there still soldiers here?
Zheng Ying showed them the official seal issued by the army. The four men did not dare to be negligent and politely invited Zheng Ying and others to get on the ox cart.
Zheng Ying shook his head, "No, let's walk."
The weight that an oxcart can carry is also limited, and for these soldiers, walking dozens of kilometers is a common training.
They moved even faster than a bullock cart.
Therefore, the people in the commune did not insist, but their attitude towards the Lu family was not as bad as before.
Qiao Qingqing was observant and noticed this subtle change. She immediately knew that she had made the right move.
She turned her gaze to the three people on the ox cart, her fingertips dug deep into her palms, but she forced a smile on her face: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, have a safe trip!"
Little did she know that her eyes were so sad.
Mr. Lu waved his hand pretending to be relaxed: "Don't worry, kid! The three Qiao Qiao brothers are all left to you. You have to take care of yourself before you can take better care of them!"
"I will, Grandpa."
A hint of kindness appeared on Mr. Lu's dignified face: "Qingqing, take care."
"Take care of yourself……"
Shi Meiyun tried hard to hold back her tears. She wanted to laugh several times but couldn't. In the end, she looked like she was neither crying nor laughing: "Qingqing... Mommy has taught your Aunt Tan how to make longevity noodles. From now on, every year on your birthday, your Aunt Tan will cook longevity noodles for you. You must be safe and sound..."
After saying this, he could no longer restrain himself and turned his head away abruptly, his shoulders twitching...
Out of respect for Zheng Ying and the others, the people of the commune waited until they said goodbye before urging the ox cart to move.
Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips and watched the oxcart slowly move away into the distance. She had walked this road alone countless times, but never before had she felt so disgusted...
Zhou Aiguo sighed and comforted her: "Qiao Zhiqing, don't be too sad. When they are settled in the north, you should write more often. When the children grow up, I will grant you home leave. You and your Lu Heng can take the children to visit them... Life must go on after all."
Qiao Qingqing didn't respond.
She just stared blankly at the ox cart going away, until it finally disappeared from her sight.
In her mind, all she could see were the voices and smiles of the Lu family, the way she hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly that she wanted to eat noodles, the distressed expression on her grandfather's face when he picked up some food for her and asked her to eat more, and the scene when her father sneaked into the city with his grandfather to visit her at night when she was giving birth...
Qiao Qingqing raised her hand and wiped her face.
Turning around, she said to the captain, "Captain, I have something to do in Hele Village. You go back first."
Zhou Aiguo looked at her face with concern: "Are you still here, Qiao Zhiqing?"
"I'm fine." After saying this, Qiao Qingqing turned and went to Fang Qi in Hele Village.
The summer harvest has passed and the autumn harvest is here. The villages are a little more relaxed, except for some odd jobs to be done.
When Qiao Qingqing arrived at Hele Village, she ran into the women who were gathering together at the entrance of the village to weave bamboo baskets and chat.
Everyone was surprised at Qiao Qingqing's appearance.
And Qiao Qingqing went straight to the educated youth site.
At the entrance of the educated youth center, Qiao Qingqing politely asked a male educated youth: "Mr. He, is He Lili the educated youth?"
The male educated youth was new and had not met this Qiao Yuren yet. After all, Qiao Qingqing had not had time to hold a meeting for the new educated youth.
He thought Qiao Qingqing was some villager who wanted to find He Lili for something.
In order to show his courtesy, the male educated youth enthusiastically gave directions to Qiao Qingqing, and then he saw Qiao Qingqing walking towards the house.
Not long after, crisp slaps and a sharp cry were heard in the room.
