So the five people from the Feng and Lin families came together. There was a big man in the group, and Xiong Yuehong and her mother Hu Lanhua were both in good health. In addition, there was Feng Mingyue, who was in excellent health. The four of them, along with Liu Mengmeng, who was in poor health, squeezed off the crowded train.
As soon as they got off the train, Lin Yuyang and the other two helped gather Feng Mingyue and Hu Lanhua's luggage together. Hu Lanhua then asked Feng Mingyue and Hu Lanhua what was wrong with them.
"Girls, where are you going? Aren't you going to pick up all this stuff?"
“I was a sent-down youth. Originally, I was supposed to be with the other sent-down youths, but my older brother was getting married here, and my mother was coming to help with the wedding. However, her health wasn't very good, and I was worried about her, so I had to take care of her instead. That's why I didn't stay with the other sent-down youths.”
"Is that so? Then why didn't you message your older brother to come pick you up?"
Before Feng Mingyue could answer, shouts came from the other side.
"Mom, Mingyue, Mingyue."
"Brother, Yuehong."
Hearing the shouts, both families looked up at the same time and saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman squeezing towards them. Because there were so many people, the two had to push their way through the crowd. The people from both families who looked up also saw that the man was protecting the woman, keeping her close to his arms to prevent anyone from touching her.
When the two squeezed in front of the five people, everyone could see that the woman was fine, but the man was squeezed and looked rather disheveled, especially his clothes, which were all wrinkled and crumpled.
Feng Mingyue and the others looked at the couple standing in front of them, then at their companions, and asked in unison.
What are you doing?
Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected their two families to run into each other. Since they had to catch the bus back to town, they couldn't explain too clearly, and only gave everyone a brief explanation.
Only then did the two families realize that they were in-laws. The two middle-aged women looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman with increasing satisfaction, and Feng Minghao was also very happy when he saw Lin Yuwei. Only Lin Yuyang and his wife looked at Feng Minghao with critical eyes.
However, since they needed to catch the bus to town, no one said anything. Feng Minghao and Lin Yuwei went forward to get the things. Feng Minghao's mother and sister were not very polite and hung the things on him. As for Lin Yuwei, when she reached out to take the things, she was stopped by her brother, sister-in-law, and classmate Xiong Yuehong and her mother. The things were hung on Lin Yuyang instead.
Two young girls helped Hu Lanhua and Liu Mengmeng walk through the crowded crowd. However, during this time, Liu Mengmeng and Feng Mingyue kept glancing at Lin Yuwei. Lin Yuwei was not shy and greeted the two girls in a generous manner.
"Auntie, Mingyue, hello. My name is Lin Yuwei, you can call me Weiwei. Let me introduce you. These two people are my sister-in-law and my classmate, Xiong Yuehong. This is my sister-in-law's mother, Aunt Hu Lanhua."
Seeing Lin Yuwei's magnanimity, Liu Mengmeng was even more pleased. As Lin Yuwei introduced Hu Lanhua and the others, she also introduced herself and her daughter to everyone.
"Hey, Weiwei and Yuehong, hello there too. I'm Liu Mengmeng, Feng Minghao's mother, and this is my daughter, Feng Mingyue. You can also call her Mingyue. We won't talk about this now. The train station is crowded and not very safe. We can chat and get to know each other more slowly once we get home."
Everyone agreed and rushed out of the train station. However, on the way out, Hu Lanhua and Xiong Yuehong whispered to Lin Yuwei, because they were a little confused by Liu Mengmeng's words that they would talk about it in detail when they got home. After all, they had just arrived by train like her. Lin Yuwei noticed their confusion and explained it to them.
“Auntie, sister-in-law, the village where I went to work in the countryside is Aunt Liu’s hometown.”
Upon hearing the reason, the two stopped asking questions and instead pushed their way out of the train station. After sweating profusely from the effort, they finally made it out.
After exiting the train station, the first thing everyone saw was the sign held up by the educated youth office. After looking closely, they found the sign for Ping'an Town. Feng Minghao and Lin Yuyang took the lead and walked ahead to clear the way for the women behind them. In this way, the group rushed to the person in charge of Ping'an Town who had come to pick up the educated youth.
The person who came to pick up the educated youth from Ping'an Town this time was Officer Ding from the Educated Youth Office. Officer Ding was standing under the sign smoking when suddenly a group of people came rushing in front of him. Officer Ding looked closely and found it strange that there were both old and young people in the group. Officer Ding didn't know why, so he had to ask.
"Comrade, we're heading to the educated youth settlement in Ping'an Town. May I ask where you are?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Feng Mingyue stepped forward and told the comrade who came to pick her up that she was the educated youth who had come to report for duty, because these were all her family members. Officer Ding looked at this large family and felt puzzled. Why would a young girl be accompanied by such a large family to see her off? Liu Mengmeng and the others also noticed the puzzled look on the face of the person in charge of the educated youth office, so Liu Mengmeng stepped forward to explain the reason.
"Hello comrade, we didn't come here specifically to send our daughter. It's just that my hometown is Ping'an Town, and we took advantage of our daughter's visit to the countryside to come back home for a visit."
When Officer Ding heard this, he realized that the person's hometown was in this area. This was normal, as many families with the means would arrange for their children to be sent to the countryside in places closest to their hometowns, so that their relatives back home could take care of them. He figured this was probably the same situation.
Just as Officer Ding was about to say some polite words to welcome them home, he saw a dozen or so men and women coming from the other side. They seemed to be going to Ping'an Town for rural work. However, before Officer Ding could say anything, some of them started verbally attacking the girl who had arrived first.
"Feng Mingyue, what's wrong with you? How could you be the first one to leave without waiting for us?"
"Yeah, yeah, you obviously have someone to pick you up, but with so many people, why don't you help us out?"
When those people arrived, they saw that Liu Mingyue was surrounded by so many people, and Feng Mingyue didn't even have to carry her luggage. They felt a little resentful, thinking, "We're all here to go to the countryside, why don't you have to carry anything?" Some of their thoughts just slipped out.
