At dawn the next day, three vehicles bound for Hunan Province had already left the capital and were heading towards Hunan without stopping.

The cemetery's special car is very large and is driven by a professional driver.

The other two SUVs had Director Wang from the Logistics Department and Director Chen from the cemetery sitting in one. Both of them had driver's licenses and could take turns driving.

Sheng Tunan and his wife and Shen Zhiyan sat in one car, with Shen Zhiyan and Sheng Tunan taking turns driving.

The journey was smooth and we arrived at Changhong Brigade smoothly the next morning.

Sheng Tunan sent a telegram to Secretary Liu in advance, saying that he wanted to move the tombs of the three martyrs of the Sheng family to the Martyrs' Cemetery.

This is a very honorable thing. Secretary Liu and the village cadres have been waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

As soon as they saw the car, everyone gathered around.

In the 1970s, rural roads were difficult to travel on, and the road from the commune to Changhong Brigade was built with personal funds from Sheng Tunan.

Due to insufficient funds, the road is very simple and can be used by vehicles, but drivers are not allowed to drive too fast, especially the cemetery's special vehicle, which has to move slowly to avoid falling into the ditch.

Fortunately, the driver was an experienced driver, and he followed the person leading the way and drove the car safely to the brigade headquarters.

"Tunan, Xinyue, I asked your Aunt Xiumei to prepare a meal. You must be exhausted after the journey. Drink some lei cha first and rest for a while before eating."

Secretary Liu asked everyone to go under the big tree. There were no fans in the village, so the house was hotter than outside.

"Thank you, Secretary Liu." Sheng Tunan nodded slightly.

There was a large round table under the tree, on which was laid out lei cha and some cold snacks.

"Leaders, you have worked hard on the journey. Let's drink some of our Zhixian Leicha to fill our stomachs. The old hen is in the pot and is being stewed. It will taste good when it is well-seasoned."

It's half past ten in the morning, and it's not yet time for lunch. I ate too early because I was afraid I would be hungry before dinner time. It’s best to drink some Leicha to quench your thirst and fill your stomach.

"Thank you, Secretary. I'm sorry for the expense." Director Wang of the Logistics Department smiled and shook hands with Secretary Liu.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's all grown in my own fields."

After exchanging some pleasantries, they sat down. After driving all day and eating steamed buns on the road, they saw a large table of local snacks and lei cha, and they couldn't wait to have a sip.

"Iced?" Shen Zhiyan took a big sip and squinted his eyes comfortably. The icy, slightly sweet and salty taste spread in his mouth. Drinking it in the sultry weather in Hunan Province was very refreshing.

"Yes. It tastes better when it's cold." Secretary Liu replied.

"Our brigade has a refrigerator? That's great." Shen Zhiyan exclaimed. There were no refrigerators in the rural areas near the capital.

"There is no refrigerator. It was Zhan Xinyue who taught me how to make ice. She knew you were coming and prepared it specially." Secretary Liu replied.

Those present also praised Zhan Xinyue and the secretary's wife, saying that they were two female heroes, one with a smart mind and the other with a clever mind.

Zhan Xinyue was very thirsty, so she just smiled and drank a bowl of iced tea. She chatted with Sheng Tunan for a while and said, "Everyone, my wife and I are going to go home to see grandma first. You guys take a rest first."

Secretary Liu had already arranged a few clean bamboo beds and placed them under a large tree by the lake, and took the rest of the people there to rest.

After they left, Sheng Tunan took out some specialties brought from the capital from the car, and went to the kitchen with Zhan Xinyue to find Wang Xiumei.

Wang Xiumei was busy all by herself. The temperature in the kitchen was high, and her face was wet with sweat, and her hair was soaked.

"Auntie, thank you for your hard work." Zhan Xinyue handed a big bag of specialties to Wang Xiumei.

Wang Xiumei refused to accept it and said, "Why do you want to bring something? I took your money, saying that I wanted to take care of grandma, but she is in good health, and I often go to see her. I am not tired at all. I am happy to know that you are back. I thought about all the good things you can eat in the city, so I made some specialties that are only available here, and then slaughtered the old hen at home. Let you taste the taste of my hometown again."

"Auntie is very thoughtful. I have been thinking about this Lei Cha for a long time."

Zhan Xinyue smiled and said, "You think about us, and I think about my aunt. These are the specialties of the capital. They are not expensive. I brought them back from the capital from a long distance. You won't let me carry them back in a lot of bags, right?"

At this point, Wang Xiumei seemed a little hypocritical if she didn't accept it. There was a towel around her neck, and Wang Xiumei pulled it off and wiped the sweat off her body before accepting the big package that Zhan Xinyue handed over.

It was very heavy, probably more than ten grams. Wang Xiumei was deeply moved and said thank you several times in a row.

"By the way, Xinyue, I specially roasted chicken liver for you. Your grandma said you like it. I almost forgot about it when I was talking about it just now." Wang Xiumei put down the package in a hurry, squatted in front of the stove to remove the ashes, and soon took out a burnt paper ball.

It was very hot. Wang Xiumei tossed the two balls back and forth, took a small bowl, tore open the paper, and handed the cooked chicken liver to Zhan Xinyue.

Zhan Xinyue loved chicken liver, so she took it and ate it without hesitation. She and Sheng Tunan were both in a hurry to see their grandmother, so they left after eating the chicken liver.

"Tuanan, take the clothes you bought for grandma out of the car." Zhan Xinyue said.

"Yeah." Sheng Tunan nodded, took off his clothes, and walked towards his hometown with his wife.

The weather was too hot, so Sheng Tuanan took a large umbrella from the car, opened it, and held it up to shade his wife from the sun.

When I met the brigade members who were working on the road, they all smiled and said that they had a good relationship with their husbands and wives.

When they were almost home, an old neighbor who was weeding grass with a hoe on his back saw Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue and greeted them. He asked why Grandma Sheng didn't come back with them.

"We just came back from the capital and are here to pick up grandma. Isn't grandma at home?" Zhan Xinyue had a bad feeling and asked anxiously.

"She was picked up by Zhan Aiguo and his wife. Early in the morning, I came back from picking vegetables in the garden. When I passed by your house, I heard Chen Juxiang and your grandmother saying that Director Sheng had found his biological parents. They looked down on Zhan Xinyue who had no parents and said that you wrote to them and still wanted to acknowledge you as your parents. They also said that you came back late last night and stayed at Zhan's house."

Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan's expressions changed.

The old neighbor thought that what he said had offended the young couple, and hurriedly explained: "These are all Zhan Aiguo's original words. He said that you came back too late yesterday and are still sleeping now, so he asked us to pick up grandma and go to Zhan's house to have breakfast together."
