On another day off, Yu Kang arrived.
"Second sister, we may have to leave. I don't want to leave here, I don't want to be too far away from you." Yu Kang's voice was trembling with tears. The 12-year-old boy's voice was starting to change, and he was already as tall as Yu Yin.
"If you're leaving, where are you going?" After giving birth to Kuai Kuai and Man Man, Yu Yin hadn't visited her father for a long time.
After they returned from Kyoto to attend her brother's wedding, her father visited her several times.
“It seems Dad is transferring back to Yang City so he can take care of Grandpa and Grandma closer to home. I don’t know the specifics, but I overheard Dad and Mom talking and came to tell you.” Yu Kang’s words were filled with reluctance and anxiety.
He grew up with his second older sister, who took care of him most of the time. His mother was busy with work and didn't really take care of him much.
He was filled with reluctance as he prepared to leave, but he knew he couldn't stay. His second sister didn't have the time or energy to take care of her, and his father wouldn't agree to it.
After listening to Yu Kang's words, Yu Yin vaguely remembered that it seemed to be this year that the army withdrew from the control of the Corps farms and handed them over to the local authorities.
She never expected her father to choose to leave the military and return to his hometown; she thought he would be a soldier for life.
But considering that her grandparents are getting old, her father, as the eldest son, should think more about them and want to take care of them, which is understandable.
This made Yu Yin think of Lu Shurui, and his affection for his grandparents and his care for them.
Yu Yin's resolve wavered even more; she really needed to make some serious plans.
"Alright, I know you're reluctant, but this isn't something a child like you should worry about. I'll find some time to ask Dad what's going on. Why don't you stay here for dinner today? I'll cook you something delicious." If their father really is planning to transfer back to his hometown, Yu Yin needs to find some time to ask him and see if the specific date has been set.
She knew the approximate date, but she didn't really know the exact time when the troops began to withdraw.
At noon, Yu Yin killed a chicken and cooked several dishes that Yu Kang liked. Only after Ping An and An kept pestering their uncle to play games did a smile finally appear on Yu Kang's face.
Before Yin could even go to find her father, she received another notification that a team of botanical experts from Kyoto was coming to explore the primeval forest and find evidence that my country also has tropical rainforests.
Yu Yin was very excited. She had read the information about this and knew that this year, our scientists found a type of tree in this primeval forest, successfully proving to the world that my country also has tropical rainforests.
Yu Yin and Sister Wang were asked to cooperate with the logistics department to ensure the botanists' meals.
Yu Yin, in particular, often goes up the mountain and is quite familiar with the terrain. If needed, she can also offer suggestions.
Yu Yin is going to be busy again, but fortunately Lu Shurui will be on summer vacation soon, and he will be able to take over taking care of the child. Yu Yin only needs to feed the child on time.
Finding an afternoon when she had less to do, Yu Yin went to her father's place to ask about the arrangements.
"Dad, I heard from Yu Kang that you're planning to transfer back to your hometown. Is that settled yet? What will you be doing there?" Yu Yin asked anxiously as soon as she saw her father.
“Things are almost done. Once the handover here is complete, we can leave. We’ll go back to our hometown and transfer to the railway bureau in Yangshi. We haven’t decided what kind of work we’ll be doing yet.” Mr. Yu looked at his second daughter, his heart filled with guilt.
With them gone, Yu Yin was left all alone, far from her family and relatives. Fortunately, Xiao Lu was a good person, and the children kept her company, which made her feel a little more at ease.
"Yu Yin, once Dad leaves, I probably won't be able to come back for a while. Take good care of yourself here. Discuss things with Xiao Lu. No matter what happens, don't keep it to yourself. Only by talking it out can we solve it." Yu's father's words were full of reluctance and worry for his daughter. It seemed as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know what to say.
"Dad, you don't need to worry about me. I'm all grown up now, and I'm a mother of four. I can take good care of myself."
Yu Yin had no complaints about her father, and she was quite reluctant to see him leave so suddenly.
“You’re going back to Yang City. Your older brother and Yu Qing are there, along with Grandma and Grandpa. It’s good that you can be reunited. Grandpa and Grandma have always thought about you all these years. Now that you’re back, they’ll be by your side, and we can rest assured.” Even if we’re reluctant to part, we still have to separate.
This is the price of growing up, isn't it? Parents send their children away, and children leave their parents, generation after generation, passing it down through the ages.
The father and daughter talked for a while longer, but Yu Yin had to rush back to take care of her child, so she left in a hurry.
Yu's father won't be leaving so soon, but the expert team from Kyoto has arrived.
Looking at the elderly man leading the group, his hair was completely white and his steps were unsteady, but he was full of energy.
The other members are also quite old, and they don't seem to be in good spirits, especially since they are all very thin.
Most intellectuals in that era were suppressed, and no one knew how this group of people was put together. Perhaps some of them were urgently transferred back from some farms where they had been sent down to the countryside.
Yu Yin knew they were all wronged, but there was nothing she could do; given the circumstances, there was nothing she could do. All she could do was provide them with extra nutrition.
Although Yunnan Province is located in a remote area, it has no shortage of rice and a variety of wild vegetables, which is enough to help these experts recuperate.
Moreover, Yu Yin has a space, with countless chicks and eggs inside. She can take some out when the opportunity arises, so there is still room for maneuver.
