Chapter 124 Discovering the Sky-Piercing Tree: We Have a Rainforest Now



With Yu Yin's care, the expert team members looked much better.

What an admirable group of people! They're not young, and their health isn't great. Every day they climb mountains and traverse vast primeval forests, just to prove to the world that our country has tropical rainforests.

Yu Yin admires these experts, but there's really not much she can do.

Try to prepare nutritious meals for them every day to replenish their nutrients, conserve their energy, and prevent them from overexerting themselves.

Yu Shurui does her best to help them organize the materials every day, so that the experts can have more time to rest and recover their energy.

There's no way around it; professional matters should be handled by professionals. It's unacceptable for laymen to instruct professionals; it will only make things worse!

While Yu Yin was busy with the expert group's work, her father completed his handover and his transfer report was approved. He will be leaving soon.

After dinner that day, Yu Yin and her family stayed home and didn't go out. The expert team had gone to a more distant place and wouldn't be back for the next couple of days. Yu Yin prepared some easy-to-preserve food for them to take with them, enough to last them two or three days.

"Peace and safety, your uncle is here." When Yu Kang and his father came in, Yu Yin's family of six was having a meal in the yard.

"Dad, what brings you here? Has your transfer been finalized? When are you leaving?" Yu Yin realized that her father's transfer was almost done and he was about to leave when she saw him walk in.

“The handover of work was completed yesterday, the transfer was finalized, and all the belongings that needed to be sent home were sent. Tomorrow, we will be heading back to Yang City. I came to tell you today.” Mr. Yu felt very guilty; they were leaving, leaving Yu Yin alone here.

When Yu Yin was in her teens, she followed them to Yunnan Province. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and they are about to go back, but Yu Yin cannot leave.

"Have you bought the tickets? Are they sleeper berths? It's from Yunnan Province, it'll be a journey of several days," Yu Yin asked worriedly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, everything's taken care of. Tomorrow we'll take the army's supply truck to Yunnan Province. We've bought sleeper berths. We'll send you a telegram as soon as we arrive to let you know we're safe." Mr. Yu was also feeling down; this parting might be the last time they saw each other.

Over there, Yu Kang was also peacefully discussing leaving.

"Uncle, are you going out? When will you be back?" An'an didn't understand what a job transfer was, and thought that her uncle had left for a while and then come back, just like before.

“My uncle is going to be gone for a long time this time. My grandfather’s job has changed, and my uncle will have to leave with him. He may not be able to come back to see you until he grows up.” Yu Kang didn’t want to leave with his parents, but he had no reason to stay.

"Uncle, don't be sad. When An'an grows up, she'll be a commander, and then An'an will come to see you." An'an said with great pride, feeling like she was already a female commander.

"Haha... good, your little uncle will wait for An'an to become a commander and come to see you." Yu Kang's melancholy was cured by An'an's high spirits. His eldest niece is so ambitious, how can her little uncle be so sentimental!

"Haha..." Ping An An An also laughed along with his uncle.

The children's laughter broke the sadness of parting. With children, there is hope and a future. Everything will gradually move in a positive direction. Parting and meeting again is a reunion!

The next day, Yu Yin got up early, made some of Yu Kang's favorite foods, picked a basket of fruit, and waited early on the road where the supply truck was passing by. She wanted to see Yu's father and the others off.

The soldier driving the car saw Yu Yin standing by the roadside and stopped the car. Yu Yin handed the basket to her father and told them to take care of themselves.

With tears in his eyes, Yu's father took the basket from Yu Yin's hands. Yu Kang had already started to cry loudly, calling out "Second Sister, Second Sister!" Yu's mother did not say a word from beginning to end, and did not even look at Yu Yin. Her fate with Yu Yin in this life was over!

The car drove away, leaving behind only a cloud of dust!

Yu Yin's attachment to this land in Yunnan Province lessened further.

His father and brother have both left, leaving only Lu Shurui and the children by his side.

Yu Yin's mood improved only after receiving a telegram from her father confirming that they were safe, and she accepted the fact that her father and the others had left.

With the return of the expert team, and with Yu Yin and Lu Shurui bringing their child along, and with the expert team's help, they didn't have much time to think about those sad things.

Through the tireless efforts of the expert team, they finally discovered strong evidence proving that my country has rainforests!

In the primeval forests of Xishuangbanna, they discovered a tall and straight woody plant. Based on the structure and morphology of its leaves, flowers, and fruits, they identified it as a new species of the Dipterocarpaceae family.

Based on the plant's shape, experts gave it a vivid name – the Hopea tree.

The discovery of the Dipterocarpaceae species, *Hopea chinensis*, is an important indicator of the existence of tropical rainforests in my country, ending the notion that my country has no tropical rainforests, as seen in Xishuangbanna.

The discovery of the Hopea tree confirms the existence of tropical rainforests in my country. The experts have successfully completed their work and are about to leave.

Yu Yin prepared some local specialties from Yunnan Province, so that each member of the expert team could take some back with them.

These items are cheap and easy to obtain in Yunnan Province, but they are rare and valuable resources in major cities like Beijing. This is especially true for these experts, many of whom are still struggling financially.

These supplies may not solve much of the problem, but they will bring a touch of warmth.

Several members of the expert group greatly admired Lu Shurui's learning ability and extended a strong invitation for him to visit Kyoto so they could continue discussing the issues together. They also exchanged their addresses.

After seeing off Yu's father and the others, Yu Yin also saw off the expert team.

The repeated farewells made Yu Yin feel anxious and uncertain, as if she were in a state of unease and couldn't feel happy.

At that moment, Yu Yin suddenly realized that her previous ideas were unlikely to be realized and that she had overestimated her abilities.

If Lu Shurui really does go to university alone, she'll leave with the four children. Yu Yin feels she's not confident she can take good care of them because she's prone to depression, which would be detrimental to the children's personality development.

In recent years, with Lu Shurui's meticulous care and the successive births of her children, Yu Yin's personality has seemingly improved, and she has gained a sense of security.

But in reality, her inner fear and anxiety always existed, and they would easily be exposed if an unexpected event occurred.

Yu Yin hopes her child will grow up healthy and happy, so she must first ensure her own health and happiness. Only when parents are healthy in body and mind can their children truly be healthy and happy!
