The team leader put his hands on his hips and shouted at the villagers who were watching: "Alright, alright, stop watching the fun and get back to work! Can't you see that we have work to do?"
The loud voice echoed over the village. Although the villagers were still reluctant to leave, they dispersed one after another after hearing the captain's instructions and returned to the fields to work again.
Lin Weidong was full of gratitude. He walked up to the captain again, bowed slightly, and said sincerely: "Captain, I really appreciate your help and care for us over the years. Now we are going back to Kyoto, and I have something to trouble you with. Lin Zhiyue's household registration must be moved to Kyoto with me, so I would like to ask you to help me get a certificate."
Lin Zhiyue, who was standing aside, listened quietly, feeling a little warm in her heart.
She was lonely and helpless in her previous life, but in this life she was reunited with her family and her household registration followed her grandfather. It seemed like a gift from fate to her. She had no objection at all and was filled with joy to accept it.
The captain responded readily, "Okay, I'll give you the certificate right away. Do you want to leave now?"
Lin Weidong looked at the soldiers standing by, his expression showing a hint of anxiety. He nodded and said, "Yes, the situation up there is quite urgent, we have to leave quickly. Besides, our luggage has been packed, and we are just waiting for your certificate."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll open it for you right away."
After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and walked hurriedly towards the village committee with big strides. His back carried a swift and decisive momentum, and soon he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Lin Zhiyue held her grandparents' arms affectionately, her eyes full of heartache and concern, and said softly: "Grandpa and grandma, let's go home first, back to our current home. This cowshed is damp and stuffy, the environment is really too bad, let's not stay here any longer."
As she spoke, she gently took the old man's hand and led the family towards the courtyard where they lived.
Along the way, the laughter and joy of relatives intertwined together, as if to dispel the gloom of those years in the cowshed.
Everyone came to Lin Zhiyue's home. Although the house was simply furnished, it was warm everywhere.
Before everyone had sat down for long, the village chief hurried over, holding the crucial certificate tightly in his hand.
At the same time, Aunt Guihua also followed in with a familiar and kind smile on her face, but there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Lin Zhiyue hurried forward, took the certificate from the village chief, thanked him repeatedly, and turned to Aunt Guihua, tears in her eyes, and said sincerely: "Aunt Guihua, I'm going to Kyoto now. I'm really worried about this house, so I'll entrust it to you to take care of it in the future."
Aunt Guihua's eyes were slightly red. She reached out and gently patted the back of Lin Zhiyue's hand, her voice choking with sobs: "My dear girl, don't worry. I will take good care of you. Whenever you miss home, come back to see me."
After explaining all this, everyone worked together to move the last bit of luggage into the car.
As the sound of the jeep's engine sounded, Lin Zhiyue's family waved goodbye to the village chief and Aunt Guihua who were seeing them off.
The wheels turned slowly, and the car slowly drove out of the village, raising dust all the way. Lin Zhiyue looked through the car window at the familiar village gradually going away, feeling mixed emotions.
This place holds too many memories for her. Although she is now looking forward to a new life in Kyoto, her reluctance to leave this land and her fellow villagers is like a thread entangled in her heart, lingering for a long time.
The morning light was dim, and a faint golden glow fell on the country road, illuminating three jeeps moving slowly forward.
In the car, Lin Zhiyue's family and the soldiers who came to pick them up had different expressions but all looked expectant.
The wheels rolled, and the dust raised spread behind them, as if telling the story of the rural days that were about to end.
When we arrived at the machinery factory in the county town, the afternoon sun was shining brightly.
Lin Zhiyue gently pushed open the car door, straightened his clothes after getting out of the car, and walked into the machinery factory with brisk steps.
The roar of machines in the workshop is endless, and workers are busy shuttling around.
She walked straight to the factory director's office and knocked gently on the door.
"Come in!" Director Song's familiar voice came from inside the house.
Lin Zhiyue pushed open the door, smiled, and said, "Director Song, long time no see."
Director Song looked up and saw that it was Lin Zhiyue. He smiled and stood up to greet her: "Xiaoyue, you are finally here. I knew you would come to ask about Researcher Zhao and the others' situation."
Lin Zhiyue nodded slightly, with concern in her eyes, and asked, "Where are Director Song and Researcher Zhao? I want to talk to them about something."
Director Song sat back in his chair, pointed to the stool opposite him and asked Lin Zhiyue to sit down, and said, "They have packed up and returned to Kyoto. Before they left, they specifically told me to wait for you in Kyoto and to find them as soon as you arrived."
A warm feeling welled up in Lin Zhiyue's heart, and she was filled with emotion when she thought of the days when she worked with Researcher Zhao and others.
She looked at Director Song sincerely and said, "Director Song, I am grateful for your help during this period. If it weren't for you, my research here wouldn't be so smooth. Thank you so much."
Director Song waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are too polite, kid. You have made a great contribution to our factory, and this is the support you deserve. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
The two chatted about work for a few more minutes, and then Lin Zhiyue stood up and said goodbye.
Walking out of the machinery factory, the sun shone on her. She took a deep breath, feeling the familiar yet farewell atmosphere, and then quickly returned to the car.
As the engines started again, the convoy slowly drove out of the county town and sped towards Kyoto.
