Yu Rujia: "I haven't been able to help much here, and I haven't visited them more than a few times in the past few years."
Huang Guihua disagreed, shaking her head and saying, "With you here, their hearts are at ease, they have hope, and they won't live their lives in a daze. Now that they're gone, when do you plan to leave?"
Yu Rujia: "I was a sent-down youth, with a bunch of kids at home, how could I just leave?"
Huang Guihua: "The Xia family is from the capital. If you go back, you'll be a high-ranking official. Getting you to go back won't be an easy task."
"Even if the Xia family can't intervene right now, with your medical skills, once you make an appearance in the capital, you'll be chased by everyone. It's not as difficult as you think."
Yu Rujia's medical skills are widely recognized. In the past, when important figures were in trouble, they would specially send someone to fetch her for treatment. Huang Guihua believes that with such medical skills, Yu Rujia would be a person who is respected wherever she goes.
Unexpectedly, she, a native of the countryside, would one day meet a capable person like Yu Rujia and become good friends with her.
Thinking about this made Huang Guihua feel happy.
Yu Rujia retorted, "What, are you hoping I'll leave?"
Huang Guihua: "Of course not. I wish you could stay here forever. With you here, we don't have to worry about getting sick."
"I was afraid you'd leave, so I rushed over as soon as I finished work to find out what was going on."
It's impossible for her to stay here for the rest of her life. Shangfen Brigade is good, but if she were the only one there, she wouldn't mind staying here for the rest of her life.
But she has a large family to support, and if she stays here, Han Meifeng alone will be devastated.
She can stay here until the reform and opening up at most.
Besides Huang Guihua, other close relatives also came to ask Yu Rujia if she would leave, and the answer they received was that she had no such plans at the moment. These people were clearly relieved.
This shows that she has achieved some success during her ten-plus years in the Shangfen Brigade.
After discussing it with Gao Shujing, Yu Rujia decided to spend the Chinese New Year in Jiangcheng this year.
To avoid suspicion, Gao Shujing never went back after coming here. At first, Gao Guojing acted as a bridge between the two sides, but after Gao Guojing joined the army, he only made a few phone calls each year to let everyone know he was safe, and didn't even dare to write a single paper letter.
Of course, Gao Shujing could go back, but there were too many children in his family, and the Xia family members were also there. Xia Taishun was worried that something might happen to the Xia family while he was away, so he refused to let him go home.
Now that the Xia family has regained its status, there is no need to worry about being implicated.
Besides Duoyi, who is only one year old, the other children, Duole, are five or six years old and can walk long distances.
With all the concerns removed, it was only natural to make a trip to Jiangcheng.
Once the trip to Jiangcheng was confirmed, Gao Shujing called Xia Taishun: "Dad, we're going back to your place for the Spring Festival this year, including Duofu and a few others, making a total of nine people."
Xia Taishun couldn't stop smiling. He hadn't seen his son for over ten years, and his son already had three grandsons, but he, the grandfather, had only seen him in photos. He missed him terribly.
Xia Taishun: "Great, great. I was planning to go to your place once my work was sorted out, but I didn't expect you to have already decided to come back for the New Year. That's wonderful. Tell me your itinerary and I'll come pick you up in person."
Upon hearing this, Gao Xiujuan snatched the phone and said with a smile, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Our whole family will come to pick you up."
After giving a few more instructions, Gao Shujing went to town to ask someone to help him book a sleeper berth.
The children in the family were very excited to hear that they were going to visit a new map.
Duolu: "I've heard about Jiangcheng countless times, and I'm finally going to go! Auntie, is Jiangcheng far from here?"
Yu Rujia: "It's far away. It takes several buses and a whole day to get there."
Duoxi: "Will I be able to see Uncle Guojing when we get to Jiangcheng?"
Yu Rujia: "Yes, we are going to your Uncle Guojing's house this time. You will not only see him, but also your third grandfather, third grandmother, and third uncle."
After his initial excitement, Duofu noticed the travel time: "Auntie, it will take a whole day to get here. Should we prepare some food in advance?"
Yu Rujia: "Yes, we need to prepare more so that we don't go hungry if the car is late."
Dorjee, holding Dorjee's little hand, said with a smile, "Little sister, little sister, we're going to visit our third grandpa and third grandma. Aren't you excited?"
Duoyi couldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from feeling his brother's happiness, and he happily echoed, "Happy, happy."
Yu Rujia corrected, "You should call them grandpa and grandma. They are your father's biological parents, your biological grandpa and grandma."
Duole tilted her head and said, "Just like the grandparents of the older brothers that I met a few months ago?"
Yu Rujia: "Yes, your grandfather and your brothers' grandfather were brothers, just like you, Duoji and Duoyi, they were born to your father. Your three grandfathers were born to your great-grandfather."
Duolu hugged Duole with a smile: "Our grandfathers were brothers, so we are brothers too."
Yu Rujia: "Yes, you are brothers, and you should get along well for the rest of your lives."
Before they knew it, the day of departure arrived. Gao Shujing asked someone to buy six deluxe sleeper train tickets, which was just enough for a single room, so he wouldn't have to squeeze in with others.
Early in the morning, Gao Shujing took the older children, excluding Duo Le Duo Yi, to prepare food for the day and luggage for their trip.
The children were all incredibly strong. Among the four older children, the youngest, Duoxi, was over 1.5 meters tall. They and Gao Shujing each carried a large bag, making a total of five large bags.
Dorje was three years younger than Dorje, and his height only reached Dorje's shoulder. Even though he was quite strong and could carry a large bag, he was only assigned a relatively small bag due to his height.
The bag that Du Le carried was even smaller, containing only his change of clothes and his food and water for the next day.
Yu Rujia's bag was smaller than Duole's, containing only a few daily necessities.
In addition to carrying a backpack, Gao Shujing also had to hold her one-year-old baby, Duoyi.
Because there were so many people and so much stuff, it was impossible to ride bicycles, so we asked the team's tractor to help deliver it.
They lived near the town's bus station, where buses departed at relatively fixed times. They entrusted the steamed buns to Huang Guihua an hour early, and the whole family set off.
At the station, Yu Rujia secretly relayed the "instructions" for taking the bus to a few kids whose eyes were sparkling.
All four big kids had ridden in buses and trains, but unfortunately, the oldest of them, Duofu, was only a little over three years old at the time. The little ones were carried into the vehicle by Xia Taishun.
Only Duofu had a vague memory of it; the other three children didn't remember riding in the car at all.
This was the first time the kids had ever ridden in a car.
