Over the next week, military trucks delivered relief grain to various communes.
After the brigades received their food supplies, the area in front of the feed processing plant finally returned to its former tranquility, and no more disaster victims gathered there.
He Yanzhi's shoulder stitches have been removed, and he has almost fully recovered.
That day, He Yanzhi personally drove the jeep, carrying Guan Wenru, the triplets, and Baiyun to the provincial capital's train station.
Baiyun was about to board the train in the provincial capital. She was carrying simple luggage, her face showing barely suppressed anticipation and a hint of sadness at parting.
When we arrived at the train station, the platform was noisy with people.
When the triplets realized that their aunt was really going to leave on that long green train, they panicked and clung to Baiyun's legs, crying uncontrollably.
He Sheng cried the loudest, "Auntie, don't go! Waaah... I don't want Auntie to go..."
He Qi sobbed, "Auntie...please don't go to the capital...I can't bear to leave you!"
With red-rimmed eyes, He Yi fought back tears, "Auntie... will you miss us? Will we ever see each other again?"
Over the past few years, Baiyun has been almost always by the triplets' side, holding them since they were little.
When Xi Mufan was still here, she and Xi Mufan would take them out to play every few days.
Therefore, the triplets are very dependent on Baiyun.
Baiyun couldn't bear to part with them either.
She knelt down and wiped away their tears one by one, her own nose tingling as well. "Sweethearts, don't cry anymore! Your aunt is just going to the capital to see your uncle, it's not like she's never coming back."
Your aunt will call you often and will come back to see you! You must listen to your mom and dad, okay?
Guan Wenru also squatted down to comfort the children, "Alright, alright, men don't cry! When Dad has a holiday, Mom will take you back to the capital to see your aunt, okay? We can also go see Tiananmen Square."
He Yanzhi ruffled her three sons' hair with her big hand, "Did you hear what your mother said? You'll see each other often in the future, so don't bother your aunt anymore. The train is about to leave."
The triplets slowly stopped crying and reluctantly let go of Baiyun's clothes.
He Yanzhi turned to Bai Yun and said seriously, "Xiao Yun, when you get there, consult with Xi Mufan on everything!"
If you encounter a problem you can't solve, don't try to handle it yourself. Remember to send a telegram or make a phone call to the factory or home.
Be careful on the train, keep your bag with you at all times, and don't talk too much about your family with strangers.
Bai Yun nodded gratefully, "Thank you, brother-in-law. I've remembered everything. I'll be relying on you to take care of my sister and the family from now on."
He Yanzhi nodded. "Don't worry."
The train station's announcements urged passengers to board the train, and a sense of melancholy filled the platform as they prepared to part.
Guan Wenru's eyes reddened slightly as she stepped forward and gave her younger sister a tight hug.
Her voice was a little hoarse, “When you get there, be more careful in everything you do. Before making any decisions, think more about yourself and don’t just think about others.”
If you suffer any injustice, don't bottle it up. Be sure to tell your sister and call home often, okay? Although we're not related by blood, I truly consider you my own sister. Don't treat me like an outsider either; if you need anything, just let me know!
She paused, then gently patted Baiyun's back. "Don't be nervous or worried. When you're about to give birth, I'll try my best to come and be with you. With me here, don't be afraid."
Upon hearing this, Baiyun's tears instantly fell. She hugged Guan Wenru tightly, her voice choked with sobs, "Sister...you're so good to me..."
Guan Wenru smiled and wiped away her tears. "Nonsense, you're my sister. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?"
The platform bell rang urgently again.
Guan Wenru pinched her cheek. "You're such a grown-up now, and you're about to become a mother. Don't cry so easily. Okay, get on the train now, find your berth. If you need any help, just ask the train attendant or the police officer. Safety first when you're traveling."
"Okay!" Baiyun sniffed.
She reluctantly let go, turning back every few steps, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm leaving... Take care... Children, be good..."
The triplets cried again, tears streaming down their faces.
He Yanzhi and Guan Wenru pulled them along.
Baiyun eventually stepped onto the train's doors.
After a while, the train slowly started, gradually accelerated, and carried the white clouds into the distance.
Guan Wenru kept staring in the direction the train had disappeared, and sighed softly.
He Yanzhi reached out and gently pinched her cheek with his fingertips. "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. Maybe one day we'll be transferred back to the capital."
"Let's go, first take these three little ones with their eyes as red as rabbits to get something to eat, then we'll go see a movie to change their mood."
When the three children heard that they were going to see a movie, their attention was indeed drawn to it, and their sobbing subsided.
Guan Wenru withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and smiled. "Well, let's go. Last time we went to the movies, you were almost caught... cheating by them."
"..." He Yanzhi also recalled that experience and smiled helplessly.
He picked up He Sheng, who was still sniffling, with one hand.
Guan Wenru led He Yi and He Qi, and the family walked towards the station exit.
......
The family got into the jeep.
Unbeknownst to them, at that moment, in the shadows of a street corner outside the train station, two ordinary-looking but fierce-looking men were staring at the direction the jeep had gone.
One of the men, with a scar on his face, spat and let out a sinister laugh. "Hmph, see that? Wife, kids, and a warm bed, living a pretty good life, huh?"
"He Yanzhi...you ruined my entire gang, killed so many of my brothers, and you think this is all over?"
Another tall, thin man whispered, "Boss, now that we've gotten this far, why don't we make our move tonight? Let's take care of that whole family of five? Clean and efficient!"
Scarface slowly shook his head, his eyes gleaming with cruel excitement. "Kill them all? That's too easy on him! How can I face my brothers who died because of him if I let him die so easily? I want him to suffer more than if he were dead!"
The tall, thin man asked, puzzled, "What does that boss mean?"
Scarface's lips curled into a twisted smile, his voice low but vicious, "Of course, in front of him! Destroy his woman first! Let him watch! After we've had our fun, then in front of him, stab her piece by piece... and finally send her on her way!"
He paused, his gaze growing even more sinister. "As for those three brats... it's such a pity they died."
Inject them with some 'good stuff,' making them mentally impaired for life, turning them into cripples! That's what you call... worse than death! Even in the underworld, He Yanzhi will suffer day and night!
The tall, thin man felt a chill run down his spine, but still chimed in, "Boss, that's a brilliant move! Let's do it that way! So, what's next..."
Scarface sneered, "First, find out their exact location and daily routine, then find the most opportune moment... to strike! Remember, be slow, accurate, and ruthless! I want He Yanzhi to pay the most painful price!"
