Professor Dong had just arrived nearby with the group of women. Before leaving, she had left a letter she had prepared. Written in the women's own words, it explained that they had left on their own and that the government didn't need to bother searching for them, as they had already gone home and were safe. Professor Dong pondered this for a long time, deciding this was the only way to proceed safely. Once the government officials were informed that the women had returned home, someone would undoubtedly come to verify their whereabouts.
If he had left a letter stating that he had left on his own, considering the current situation, the local government, knowing that its own power was limited, probably would not have delved too deeply into the matter.
In the darkness, Professor Dong glimpsed a car approaching from a distance, eventually stopping not far ahead. As the headlights dimmed, a deathly silence fell. Professor Dong led the silent group of women behind her toward the car. Some of these women, unable to speak due to having their tongues cut off, moved gently and cautiously, following silently. This was undoubtedly out of their deep, unconditional trust in Professor Dong! After all, such a decision was not easy, but they chose to trust Professor Dong without hesitation and were willing to follow her.
At that moment, Jiang Huashu jumped from the car and quickly pulled back the tarpaulin. When the many veterans inside saw that the outside was filled with women and children, they immediately rushed forward, opened the rear railings, and jumped out. Some helped the women onto the car, while others lifted young children high into the air and passed them aboard. In the blink of an eye, the scene became bustling, orderly, and silent.
After everyone was seated in the car, Jiang Huashu drove, his wife took the passenger seat, and Fifth Grandpa sat at the back of the car, in the middle of the tarpaulin.
After four or five hours of driving in circles, the car finally entered a space, and the people sitting in the back didn't notice it at all. When the car stopped and people got out, they were all surprised by what they saw.
Just like the previous dormitory arrangement, the old comrades were arranged into the men's dormitory building. They took the elevator directly to the top floor. The dormitory on the top floor had been prepared in advance by Uncle Wu and the homeless people. This time, they were arranged into a room for each person.
The women went to the female dormitory building. Each family with children was assigned a room. The very young children slept in a crib bought on Taobao. There were no mosquitoes in the space, so there was no need for a mosquito net. They also provided quilts, mattresses, pillows, milk powder, bottles, diapers, and dozens of sets of new clothes for the babies. The mother was so attentive that she even bought baby laundry soap.
The childless women were divided into groups and went into their own rooms. The five female comrades who were the first to arrive and were responsible for cooking in the cafeteria were overjoyed to see so many people.
After everything was settled, everyone left their rooms and began to familiarize themselves with this new environment. It's worth noting that none of the people who arrived had signed a contract yet. Given the circumstances, the likelihood of these women leaving this place was slim, at least for the next few years. Fifth Grandpa's comrades were no ordinary men, and the space itself was riddled with flaws that would become apparent over time. Therefore, for these veterans, experienced and discerning, signing a contract was meaningless and would not deceive them at all.
