"Dad, I'll take Mom to play this time, and I'll take you to play next time." Before parting, Shishi made a promise.
Xiao Dan was coaxed into smiling. "Okay, okay, Dad is waiting for you to take me out to play."
The Huo and Yu families followed Xiao Dan, and to be a good Samaritan to the end, he escorted both families back to the city.
Public opinion is always a double-edged sword. With military escorts, he returned to his hometown after many years, avoiding gossip and criticism.
Both the Huo and Yu families will reclaim their own property. As long as they take good care of their health, their future will be bright.
Only the father and daughter remained at the Yu family's side. The father, Yu Chou Chou, received timely treatment and is in good health. He mainly lost a lot of blood, and he just needs to replenish his nutrition.
"Huo Ting, I've spoken to the Public Security Bureau here. If you're willing to serve the people, go find the bureau chief. He'll make arrangements for you. With your abilities, your future won't be bad."
After seeing both families off, Xiao Dan told Huo Ting about his arrangements before leaving.
He values talent, and Huo Ting is capable of fulfilling the role.
Huo Ting really didn't expect his old boss to be so thoughtful.
Both her adoptive parents and Huo Rou need to take good care of their health. The recovered assets are a fixed amount and will eventually run out.
He really needs a job to support his family.
"Sir, I am willing. Thank you for your concern. I will certainly live up to your kindness."
Xiao Dan patted him on the shoulder approvingly.
"Good, good. You are indeed my soldier. After this experience, I hope you will do your best to help more innocent people."
"Yes, sir." He gave a respectful military salute, deeply grateful.
"Huo Ting, life is only a few 30-year periods. Some things are best left to your own liking. Don't worry too much about what others think. I'm waiting for your good news with Comrade Huo Rou."
The daughter said it didn't matter if he didn't get the matchmaker's money; he should just make it clear, otherwise Huo Ting and Huo Rou would have to wait and waste time.
He chuckled to himself, thinking to himself that he was getting old and still not as insightful as his daughter.
However, he always felt that his daughter's other words were more important: "I have finally become a matchmaker for a pair of calves eating grass."
Huo Ting was startled, then remembered what Comrade Zhou Shi had whispered to him before he left:
"Comrade Huo, you gave up your job to come here, and after 8 years you still haven't gotten your hands on him. This won't do."
Then I heard her talking to Huo Rou next door. It sounded like she was speaking in a whisper, but everyone around could hear it.
"Sister Huo Rou, you should hurry up and find a good man. Instead of calling him 'brother,' call him 'the father of my child.' I'm rooting for you."
He understood; his former boss was subtly hinting at something.
He's 30, Huo Rou is 31, how many more years do they have to squander?
"Sir, I understand. I'll bring it up with my adoptive parents once we're settled."
At the farm, Xie Lin and his group quietly left the prepared food for the kind-hearted people who had been sent down to the countryside.
Whether by coincidence or not, most of the people here are teachers from all over the country, representing various disciplines, and some are even professors.
Thinking about the upcoming resumption of the college entrance examination, he spoke earnestly.
"The fact that people are returning to the city shows that the situation is becoming clearer. Everyone should not give up, live well, and wait for the day when the light comes."
"We're just passing through, and that's all we can do to help. You all need to take care of yourselves in the future. As long as we are united, our country will get better and better."
The future of our nation's talent depends on you all. Keep up the good work!
I can't say more; I'll stop here.
A shrewd person can understand the deeper meaning without needing to say more; as for the truly foolish one, it can only be said that it is their own fate.
We bid farewell to everyone, crossed the stone mountain, and entered the city from the stone village.
Let's have a meal at a state-run restaurant first, and then go out to find a hidden passage at night.
There were no caves in the rocky mountains, and none of the small peaks we encountered on the way into the city had caves either. We were too lazy to dig, so we just found the ones that were already there.
During wartime, many town residents, especially wealthy families, would dig secret rooms in the basement of their homes to avoid danger.
They don't care about the small, dark rooms of ordinary citizens; they specifically seek out dilapidated, large houses.
Finally, they found a large courtyard, or more accurately, a manor. It was quite spacious, but its location was somewhat remote, situated on the outskirts of the city.
The houses are now collapsed and overgrown with weeds.
I quietly inquired with the older generation in the neighborhood and learned that the village belonged to the old landlords and had been vacant for decades.
Based on the time elapsed since the movement, it wasn't about transferring personnel or assets, and there's been no news of any descendants returning to seize territory, which makes things easier.
The dark room was very large, several tens of square meters. The larger the dark room, the more things it once stored, which shows how wealthy the owner was at the time.
The dark room is now empty; it must have been moved by their descendants or confiscated, so it's none of their business.
They left behind a large amount of food and weapons, tossed a small note to the leader of the nearest stationed troops, and then the group traveled to another city overnight.
The leaders are all chosen in advance; they must be honest and upright, and he doesn't want to benefit others.
He had long known that profession and character were two different things.
"Xiao Xie, our overnight escape doesn't feel like doing a good deed, it feels more like we've committed some heinous crime. And I must say, it's quite exciting."
Zhang Tong touched her pounding heart, feeling somewhat excited.
They always lived a proper and uneventful life. Most people would be content with that, but this is a kind of peace that many people long for.
She used to be content and felt very happy.
Now it's been discovered that beneath her calm exterior lies a rebellious heart.
She likes excitement.
"Mom, we're not running away, we're living Lei Fengs who do good deeds anonymously." The main thing is that we can't keep that name.
"Mom, I am a female Lei Feng."
"Auntie, we are little Lei Fengs."
