At that moment, Gu Jingshen, in the hospital, was gazing out the moonlight, his thoughts drifting away. He recalled every moment he had spent with Meng Si Ning, those beautiful moments playing in his mind like a movie. He knew he had completely lost Meng Si Ning, and this regret and loss filled him with immense pain. He clenched his fists, vowing to himself to become stronger. Perhaps only then would he be able to face this loss calmly one day in the future.
Waking up in the morning, the clear chirping of birds in the surrounding trees was particularly pleasant. Meng Si Ning opened the door and stretched. He ran to have breakfast with his family and said goodbye. He hadn't brought much with him when he arrived, and when he left, he still had one bag, but this time it was a bit full, filled with some local specialties that Lu Cheng had bought yesterday.
Uncle Lin and Mom walked them to the factory gate and gave them a few instructions: "You two can buy whatever you want to eat at home. If you need any help, go find your Uncle Xia, okay?"
"I understand, uncle, mom, you can go back." Meng Si Ning said.
"Be careful on the train, Siyun, and listen to your sister." Si Youyuan reminded.
"Mom, you guys go back. My sister and I have to leave quickly. Xiaobai and Ponyo must miss me." Lin Siyun said anxiously.
Si Youyuan was so angry at her youngest son that she laughed: "When you came here, you said you missed me so much, but after just a few days, you're already thinking about the cats and rabbits at home."
"They are still young and need my company. Mom and Dad, now that you have completed your mission, can you stay at home with me and my sister for a while?" Lin Siyun asked.
Lin Huaci said, "Sure, how about staying here for a month?"
Lin Siyun nodded, waved to his parents, and got into Lu Cheng's car.
Lu Cheng drove them straight to the train without stopping anywhere else in the city. They had bought a sleeper car. After helping them stow their belongings, he went downstairs to buy some steamed buns and eggs. "Follow your sister closely on Siyun Road. If you can't find her, go find the conductor. Don't pay any attention to anyone who speaks to you, understand?"
"I understand, Brother Lu." Lin Siyun answered obediently.
"Be good...Si Ning, be careful on the road." Lu Cheng said gently.
"Well, I'll call you as soon as I get home," said Meng Sining.
"Okay." Lu Cheng responded.
Lu Cheng raised his hand to check the time, then looked at her with some reluctance and said, "I'm going down now."
Meng Si Ning looked at him, who was well-behaved and hadn't done anything out of line, and curled his lips: "Aren't you going to give me a goodbye hug?"
Lu Cheng hurriedly grabbed her arm, afraid that she would really hug him, and said with slightly red ears: "Si Ning, this is not possible."
"Why? There's no one in the carriage?" Meng Si Ning asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face, as the people from the other two beds came in. Seeing that they were two female colleagues, Lu Cheng felt relieved. He gave them some instructions and got off the car with great concern.
Sitting on the bed, Meng Si Ning said to Jiang Tang in the space with regret, "I was expecting a farewell hug, but he's too reserved."
"Girl, it's the 1970s now. The love of our parents' generation couldn't be purer." Jiang Tang explained with a smile.
The train slowly started to move. Meng Si Ning looked out the window at Lu Cheng, who was gradually moving away, feeling reluctant to leave. She knew that after this separation, it would be a long time before they would meet again, but she believed that their feelings would become deeper and deeper through these separations and waiting.
The three days on the road were quite pleasant. The two girls next to him were afraid of encountering bad people, so they secretly told Meng Si Ning to help look after each other's luggage at night. In this way, they arrived in Liang City on the afternoon of the third day.
The two took the bus back home from the train station. Meng Si Ning was so nervous and tired that he had no energy. As soon as Lin Xiaodi entered the house, he went into Xiaobai's house. More than ten days later, Xiaobai had grown a lot. Fortunately, he didn't forget about them, and Lin Xiaodi didn't resist when he held it. Meng Si Ning gave him a few apple peels to feed the rabbits. Ponyo was digging in the soil in the vegetable garden. During this period of absence, it completely let itself go: "Ponyo, look at yourself, you are not allowed to enter the house for a while."
Meng Si Ning went into the house and took a shower first. Nowhere was as convenient as home. He came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
...
"Secretary Zhou, what did you say? The geological survey team has arrived in Youcaoling?" Jiang Tang had just returned to the commune from Shenzhou and planned to stay for a day to finish her report. The county had given her two months to write a report, but she had been busy and submitted it late. She had just arrived at the commune when she heard Secretary Zhou talking to her about this.
"Last time, we spoke vaguely about the incident and the villagers misunderstood us, so they all went to pick up stones on the road. Zhang Ba from the village picked up a black stone and said it was jade. I have seen it before, but it is actually a stone that can start fire. But he didn't believe it and insisted that it was jade. As a result, he ran to the geological team, and someone actually said it was a good thing. So he followed Zhang Ba to your village. He has been there for four or five days. I asked the team leader who came this time what the stone was. He didn't say anything and was very mysterious." Secretary Zhou said in detail.
"Secretary Zhou, let them explore. If they can really find something good, it will be a great joy for us at Youcaoling. I will write the report first and go back to take a look tomorrow afternoon." Jiang Tang said.
"Okay, you've made a lot of effort on this trip. Signing such a big contract is not easy. You've made great contributions to Youcaoling. They're looking forward to your return. Also, Sun Maocheng has been looking for you recently and has asked me twice." Secretary Zhou laughed as he spoke. "This kid used to ignore you, but now that he sees how successful you've made Youcaoling, he's getting anxious."
