Shiyue straightened up.
"This is Huo Bai, Battalion Commander Huo. Uncle Lü Wensheng sent him," Shen Feiyi introduced.
"Hello, Comrade Shiyue! I'm sorry I'm late."
After Shen Feiyi finished speaking, the soldier stood at attention and gave Shiyue a military salute.
Shiyue was startled.
Everyone was startled.
Shiyue quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, it's all thanks to you and my brother Feiyi today..."
Shiyue's eyes reddened as she spoke, and her voice choked with emotion, making it difficult for her to continue.
Shen Feiyi couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to pat Shiyue on the shoulder in a comforting manner.
He sighed, "We were still a step too late. If only I had driven faster on the way."
Shiyue knew that Feiyi and his group would definitely not be delayed on their journey.
After all, it has only been about half a month since they returned to their hometown.
In such a short time, Uncle Lü, who was far away on the coast, went from receiving the news to sending people to the scene...
It's already moving at lightning speed!
Thinking that because of her, because of her family affairs, Uncle Shen had been so worried, and that it had even alarmed Uncle Lü who was far away at sea, Shiyue felt extremely guilty.
Her tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Ouch, are you shedding tears?"
Seeing her like this, Shen Feiyi smiled helplessly.
He pointed to He Lixuan, who was being helped to sit on a bamboo chair and was looking at him with great concern, and said, "Don't cry anymore, or Xiao He won't want me anymore."
After saying that, he pulled Huo Bai along and then called to Shi Yue, "We're not just here to see you, we're also here to see Li Xuan. Come on, let's go over there and talk."
The three of them moved small stools and sat down next to He Lixuan.
Perhaps their intimidating presence was too strong, or perhaps their actions had terrified people.
Although Shen Feiyi and Huo Bai both had smiles on their faces, no one else dared to approach them.
Aside from Yu Chuxia being a family who stayed to look after Fu Yunfang, Jiang Dong and Ye Pu'an, being their own brothers, wanted to understand the situation and reluctantly stayed behind—
The village doctor, Sun Xiaohong and her siblings, and the other educated youth, seeing that the group was about to have a long talk, tactfully took their leave and left.
The courtyard has finally returned to its former tranquility.
Huo Bai then told the Shiyue couple the purpose of his visit.
It turned out that on the day before his family returned to their hometown, Shen Yuanbai called his old friend and told him about their situation.
Although Shiyue confidently declared that she could protect the family, Shen Yuanbai remained deeply worried.
He not only didn't think highly of Shiyue's abilities, but he even felt that with his own power, he could only protect them temporarily, not forever.
Shiyue and the others had always lived in the countryside, and even after they went to the cadre school, they only saw the surface.
The records she knew about the movement were all trivial details and superficial.
She actually had no idea how dangerous or complicated it really was.
Shen Yuanbai frankly told his old friend over the phone that his own abilities were limited and he had to ask his old friend for help.
It's time to repay the kindness that Shiyue's father showed to everyone back then.
Although their other partner, Lao Cao, was also trustworthy and was now the director of a steel plant in a major province.
But the struggles in the area where Lao Cao lived were more intense and complex.
After much deliberation, Shen Yuanbai concluded that the only person he could rely on was Lü Wensheng.
Lü Wensheng is currently the deputy commander of a military region in a coastal province in the southernmost part of the country.
Because of their proximity to the border and their heavy responsibility of defending the frontier, they also have a strong voice in the war effort.
He was probably the one with the most authority among the three people who were rescued, and the only one who was able to protect the family safely.
As expected, Lü Wensheng lived up to Shen Yuanbai's high expectations and agreed immediately without hesitation.
He not only agreed, but also inquired in detail about the He family's situation.
At that time, Shen Yuanbai had just had a deep conversation with He Siyi, so he naturally knew everything clearly.
Upon hearing from Shen Yuanbai that He's second son was a prodigy in the mathematics department of Peking University, and that his advisor was with him, Lü Wensheng laughed excitedly!
He also heard that He Siyi was a physics teacher and He Lixuan was a bridge and construction engineer. Even through the microphone, Shen Yuanbai could feel his old friend's excitement!
Lu Wensheng immediately said that he would figure out the rest.
He's determined to protect this family!
Although that's what he said, it was just a verbal promise after all, and Shen Yuanbai thought it over and decided not to tell Shiyue in advance.
Although he believed in his old friend's character.
But in this day and age, who knows what other unforeseen events might occur in the meantime?
He didn't want his child to be filled with hope first, only to have that hope dashed later.
Therefore, even after receiving his old friend's promise, Shen Yuanbai said nothing, but did his best to provide the Shiyue family with the greatest assistance he could.
And just the night before last, news finally came from Lü Wensheng's side.
He sent Huo Bai, the battalion commander of their military region's guard battalion, to come in person.
The purpose was to escort Shiyue and her family safely out of Pingjiang and to Nanhua City, where their military region was located!
Over there, Lü Wensheng had already made all the arrangements for their family and promised to ensure their safety.
It was Uncle Lü, who had previously sent a letter to the commune to help clear her and her parents' names, who sent someone to pick her up. Shiyue had no doubt about the authenticity of this matter.
What's more, Brother Flying Wing came along with him.
With two uncles backing her up, Shiyue was no longer afraid of anything!
She immediately turned to look at her husband, her eyes fervent; without her saying a word, everyone could see her agreement with the suggestion!
Shiyue is the only local here, and everyone is currently at her home.
If she has no regrets, what else is there for others to cling to?
Almost instantly, Huo Bai and his group's proposal was approved by everyone.
Huo Bai was pleased to know that everyone was willing to follow him.
He stood up, looked around, and asked, "How long will it take to pack? Should I go talk to your brigade and ask to borrow a few people?"
He glanced at his watch as he spoke: "If we're quick, we can make it to the county for dinner tonight."
Huo Bai's words surprised everyone!
He Liping, standing to the side, stammered, "Today...today you're leaving?"
Does that mean that Mom and Dad and my two brothers are going to set off for the distant seas thousands of miles away today?
He Liping had never been there, but he had studied geography.
I know how far the journey is.
For him, traveling from Jiannan to Pingjiang is a long and arduous journey, and it will be even more difficult for him to visit his parents in Nanhua in the future!
The smile on He Liping's face disappeared when he thought about not knowing when he would be able to reunite with his family again.
His attachment and reluctance to part were impossible for him to hide, no matter how hard he tried.
