Chapter 108 Chapter 108
Of course, this celebratory dinner ended in a hasty manner.
Fearing that Ye Qing would be unhappy, Zhao Yuliang had someone pack a basket of fresh meat for Ye Qing as a thank-you gift. It contained several kilograms of good meat such as pork loin, pork belly, ribs, and pork elbows. He also gave each of his four apprentices a few kilograms of pork head and offal.
When Warrior Xiao Zhu sent Ye Qing and his friends off the farm, Zhao Yuliang apologized to Ye Qing vigorously and said that he did not have a good meal with Ye Qing and that he would prepare another good meal to treat Ye Qing during the Chinese New Year.
But Ye Qing didn't feel unhappy at all, she was very excited at the moment.
Whenever she thought about how happy her teacher would be if Han Yabo was successfully transferred out of that dark labor reform farm, she became very excited and eager. She wished she could find an excuse to stay in the farm and see with her own eyes Han Yabo and the large group of troops arriving at the farm.
But she knew she couldn't do that.
So she could only pretend nothing had happened, got in the car, and returned to Kaoshantun with suppressed emotions.
Grandma Zou and Song Chunhua were very surprised to see so much meat coming back. They came forward to inquire about the situation and learned that all the pigs on the farm had passed the test today, proving that the first experiment of Ye Qing's scientific breeding plan had achieved remarkable results. They were both very happy for Ye Qing.
Several apprentices had work to do, so as soon as they got home they began to busy themselves with processing the fresh meat, some washing, some pickling, and some freezing. Seeing this, Song Chunhua quickly put down Zou Yun and went to the kitchen to help the girls.
As a result, just as she lifted the curtain, she was stopped by Ye Qing.
"Teacher Song, can you come over here for a moment? I want to tell you something."
Ye Qing waved towards Song Chunhua, indicating that he should go to her room.
Song Chunhua didn't understand what was going on, so she followed Ye Qing into the inner room.
"Teacher, I want to tell you something, but you have to promise not to get excited after listening to it."
Upon hearing this, Song Chunhua's heart skipped a beat, her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly asked:
"What's wrong? Did something happen in Mohe?"
When asked this, Song Chunhua's eyes instantly became red and she was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Ye Qing then realized that what she had just said was ambiguous, and she quickly waved her hand to interrupt Song Chunhua's wild thoughts:
"Something has happened, but it's a good thing. I'm afraid that you'll be too happy and draw attention to your abnormality, so I'm giving you a shot in advance."
At this point, Ye Qing looked at Song Chunhua with burning eyes, and spoke word by word:
"Teacher, if nothing unexpected happens, Dr. Han will be transferred to Qingshan Farm today, and will be doing labor reform at Qingshan Farm from now on. You and Master will be reunited soon!"
Song Chunhua felt her heart skip a beat at this moment. She raised her head and looked at Ye Qing in surprise:
"What did you say?!"
This sudden news stunned Song Chunhua. She desperately wanted Ye Qing to say it again to make sure she had not heard it wrongly.
Ye Qing quickly explained in detail how Gu Weidong had helped find someone to transfer Han Yabo from Shanhe Farm to Qingshan Farm.
"I haven't seen the person yet, but Captain Zhao has already sent someone to the train station to pick him up. As long as there are no problems with the arrangements in Jicheng, I estimate that Master is on his way to the farm now."
In fact, Ye Qing didn't meet Han Yabo himself. If there were any mistakes in the process, or if he couldn't solve it successfully, then this matter would probably be a false alarm.
The best way is to confirm that the person has arrived at the farm and then tell Song Chunhua the news.
But Ye Qing hesitated for a long time and decided to reveal it to Song Chunhua in advance so that she could be mentally prepared.
"It's not 100% certain. If the person doesn't come, don't be too sad. At worst, we can find another opportunity next time. Anyway, no matter how bad it gets, it won't be harder than the beginning. After all, we have already established contact with the master, and we can send a letter to Mohe every once in a while. With someone taking care of him, he will definitely be fine."
Fearing that Song Chunhua's expectations would not be fulfilled in the end, Ye Qing did not forget to add a few more sentences.
Song Chunhua didn't say anything, but her hand was tightly clasped Ye Qing's hand, tears were falling down her face, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, obviously she was extremely excited and shocked.
Ye Qing did not say anything else, but walked forward, hugged Song Chunhua tightly, and kept patting her back to soothe her emotions.
It took a while for Song Chunhua to calm down.
But the news that Ye Qing brought to her had such a huge impact on her that Song Chunhua simply could not stay in Kaoshantun. She could not wait to return to Qingshan Farm to confirm whether this news was true or not.
But it was already dark and snowing outside. How could Ye Qing agree to let Song Chunhua go back to the farm?
Moreover, these people who were sent to the farm for labor reform were all criminals who were under strict surveillance during this period. Once they were sent to the military farm, it was absolutely impossible for them to come into contact with other ordinary aid workers. After arriving at Qingshan Farm, Zhao Yuliang would definitely set aside an area specifically to detain and labor those people, and they would definitely not be allowed to work together with others.
So even if Song Chunhua returned to the farm, it would be useless. She had no connections and didn't know who to ask for information from, and she couldn't even meet Han Yabo.
Ye Qing could only keep persuading Song Chunhua to stay calm and spend the New Year peacefully at her place.
Anyway, Zhao Yuliang had already made an appointment with Ye Qing to go to the farm for lunch at noon on New Year's Eve. When the time comes, Ye Qing can find an opportunity to ask Zhao Yuliang and find out whether anyone has come to the farm.
But she could also understand Song Chunhua's feelings. She had suffered so many years and endured so much hardship, and even gave up everything to go to the Northeast to help with the reconstruction, just so that the couple could have the opportunity to reunite one day.
Now that this opportunity is really here, how can I not be excited and eager?
But you really can't do this. If someone notices the problem, you will probably be caught.
"You have already gone through so many difficult stages. You must stay steady and not let down at this juncture."
"We finally got the chance to get him out this time. If someone catches you, Mr. Han's transfer may be exposed, and he will be sent back to Mohe, or even sent to a labor camp in another province. It's a long way to go, and we can't do anything about it. That would be really troublesome."
These words were like a wake-up call to Song Chunhua, making her sober up.
She immediately realized that Ye Qing's reminder was correct.
Didn't she give up everything in Shanghai and come here just to be closer to her husband? And Ye Qing had paid a huge price to get someone to help her. She had finally gotten this opportunity, and she couldn't let it go to waste because of her!
Song Chunhua immediately calmed down and quickly gathered her emotions, pretending to be calm:
"You're right. If the person really came out, we can meet him sooner or later. If he didn't come, he must still be staying in Mohe. I can always contact him once in a while. That's much better than the situation where there was no news for several years. I should keep calm and never panic!"
It is not clear whether these words were meant to comfort Ye Qing or to comfort herself.
Anyway, he was finally able to calm down, but that night was certainly a tough one. Ye Qing and Song Chunhua slept in the same room, and in the early morning he could still feel Song Chunhua tossing and turning on the kang, guessing she hadn't slept all night.
When I woke up the next day, I saw that Song Chunhua had two big dark circles under her eyes and looked haggard. It was obvious that she did not get enough rest.
Ye Qing felt helpless, and was thinking that if it really didn't work, she would just find an excuse to go to the farm again during the day, meet Zhao Yuliang and have a frank talk with him to find out whether Han Yabo was among the group of people who were transferred down.
What Ye Qing didn't expect was that when she was about to have breakfast in the morning, an uninvited guest came to her house.
Qiao Youqing actually rushed to the end of the village pushing a bicycle in a dusty state. Judging from his battered and shabby appearance, it was unknown how many times he had fallen in the snow.
His face was red from the cold, his hands were stiff, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he was extremely excited. He didn't care about his image at all. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to shout to Ye Qing:
"Xiao Ye, is Comrade Song Chunhua here with you? Come on, both of you pack up and follow me to the farm!"
As he spoke, Qiao Youqing seemed to have remembered something and added,
"Take your medicine box with you, too. It might be useful later."
Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized something. She quickly asked:
"Are these the people the farm picked up last night? Are they here?"
For fear of someone hearing something, Ye Qing did not dare to ask too many questions.
But her vague words had already made Qiao Youqing receive the hidden message. He raised his head in surprise, curious and inquisitive:
"Yes, they are here. Did you know?"
Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that Song Chunhua would be too happy for nothing, and she had been worried all night. Now that she had received the accurate news, she could finally feel relieved.
She hurriedly looked towards Song Chunhua.
Song Chunhua's heart was beating like a drum and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet. No matter how hard she tried to force herself not to show her emotions, it was difficult for her to control her emotions and not let them out.
There was definitely no way they could have breakfast, so they quickly grabbed a few boiled eggs and sweet potatoes. Song Chunhua quickly brought out the full set of winter clothes and cotton shoes she had made for Han Yabo, and Ye Qing followed with a medicine box on his back. The three of them waded through the snow, stumbling towards the military farm.
