"By the way, Zhiyu will be going home for the New Year this year. If possible, I'd like Songbai to go with him. After all, my aunt only has this one child, and the elders at home are even more worried. It would put their minds at ease if they could take care of him."
Yun Zhiping and Meng Zhiyu had already agreed that Ji Nian would go home for the New Year, so Meng Zhiyu naturally had no objection.
Mother Zhou happily agreed, "No problem. When the time comes, let me and the third child escort Zhiyu home. That way we can feel more at ease."
Zhou's mother is not stupid. If her third son goes back with her, it means he will meet his parents. Since Zhiyu's parents are no longer around, her in-laws will naturally be the first priority.
Zhiyu and Zhiping never mentioned the situation of Zhiyu's grandparents. She thought that either they had a bad relationship or they were no longer around, so she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.
They will be a family in the future, there is plenty of time, and she will know the situation sooner or later.
Days passed, and finally it was the day for Yun Zhiping to leave. Meng Zhiyu got up early to make breakfast. Yun Zhiping washed up, carried his luggage and came to the educated youth yard, where he had his last breakfast with his cousin.
Although the two were not familiar with each other at first, after spending a few days together, Meng Zhiyu really liked this cousin.
She felt reluctant and picked up the food she had prepared for Yun Zhiping and put it in the bicycle basket.
"Cousin, this is the food I prepared for you. You can eat it on the train. There's also a bottle of hot water and some sour plums. The smell on the train is unpleasant. If you feel uncomfortable or nauseous, you can eat two plums to calm your stomach."
Yun Zhiping had a smile on his face as he listened carefully to Meng Zhiyu's instructions. Zhou Songbai stood aside pushing his bicycle and did not disturb the two of them as they were parting. Today he was the one who rode his bicycle to take Yun Zhiping to the train station.
Yun Zhiping looked at his cousin gently, "Cousin, don't worry. I'm not a child who can take care of myself. I'll send you a telegram when I get home. You should also take care of yourself. If you have any problems, write home. Don't get involved in your own affairs. Your own safety is the most important thing."
During the few days he was in the countryside, he heard a lot about his cousin's deeds, which completely overturned his previous impression of her as weak and stupid.
Meng Zhiyu suppressed the reluctance in his heart and nodded obediently, "Don't worry, cousin, I will take good care of myself. Please don't lose the letter I wrote to my family."
"Don't worry, I won't lose your letter even if I lose myself." Yun Zhiping joked.
Then he looked at Mu Ziwei and the others and said, "Thank you for your hospitality these past few days. If you have a chance to visit my hometown, I will take you around. I'm afraid my cousin will need your help and attention on a daily basis."
Mu Ziwei also likes Yun Zhiping very much. Although he is older than them, he does not treat them like children because of his age. He is also very humble and polite, gentle but sharp, which suits his taste very much.
"Brother Yun, don't worry. Zhiyu is like my sister. When my sister needs help, I, as her brother, will naturally help her."
They talked for a while. Yun Zhiping had to catch a train, so he sat on the back of Zhou Songbai's bicycle and waved to them. Zhou Songbai glanced at his little girl, and after making sure she stopped talking, he put some effort on his feet and pedaled his bicycle away.
Meng Zhiyu stood there, watching the bicycle getting smaller and smaller until it finally turned into a small black dot. Only then did he return to the yard with a bit of melancholy in his heart.
Seeing her listless, Li Tingman comforted her, "You're awake now. It's not like we won't see each other again. Aren't you going back to your hometown for the New Year?"
Meng Zhiyu naturally knew this, but people's emotions cannot be controlled. She had felt this feeling since her grandparents passed away in her previous life, when the cat she had raised since she was a child passed away.
