Chapter 2024: Gathering of Heroes 8

As she boarded the train back to the capital, Lin Yufen was still filled with emotion. "I never thought that the person I met by chance not only reminded us to avoid the disaster, but also became our junior sister. It's hard for her to have endured not contacting us all these years."

It's really unexpected, isn't it? The word "fellow student" sounds so familiar, just like brothers and sisters.

"When I see my junior sister, I have to talk to her. Since you have news about the teacher, why didn't you write to tell us? I have been worried all these years, afraid to hear the bad news about the teacher." Lu Shaonong's failure to persuade the teacher and senior brothers and sisters to leave the capital gradually became a worry in his heart. He would always be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.

Lin Yufen smiled and said, "We have changed our names and are hiding. How can we not arouse suspicion if we keep in touch? I think this is also the reason why Junior Sister didn't write to us. Well, after more than ten years, we are both safe and sound and can still meet each other. This is a great joy, and it's not too late! Master has moved back to the old place, we can't go to him empty-handed. After getting off the car, we went to buy things first. Junior Sister was thoughtful and enclosed a lot of military food coupons and various tickets from the capital, as well as money in the letter."

Lu Shaonong nodded in agreement. "When the teacher was young, she liked to dress up. I guess she won't change when she gets old. Let's buy some good cloth to make her two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, and buy her some study tools and various colors of paint."

"Let's buy some food. We have to go to the little sister's house to pay respects to the teacher first. Xibao must have brothers and sisters." Lin Yufen had a deep impression of Xibao. "More than ten years have passed. The chubby baby back then must have grown into a handsome young man. But you and I are weathered and wrinkled, and we are no longer the same as before."

The wind was strong and the frost was heavy in the mountain village, which severely damaged people's faces. When Wen Ruyu first saw the couple, she almost didn't recognize them.

"Hey, Xiao Liuzi, how come you've aged so much? Your face is like an old orange peel, your hair and eyebrows are all white, you're dark and thin, and you look ten years older than me."

Seeing the teacher with a ruddy face and full of energy, Lu Shaonong was also full of disbelief.

"Teacher, are you rejuvenated? I see that you look younger than you did more than ten years ago."

Wen Ruyu touched his old face and said, "Of course not. Cui Shaoyuan arranged everything for me, and your junior sister took good care of me. I have been well fed and clothed over the years, and my skin is smooth and plump. Isn't that rejuvenation? Now that I'm back, you two must take good care of yourself, and don't go out and people will say you are my teacher when they see you."

Lu Shaonong said respectfully: "Don't worry, when we find the house back, we will take care of ourselves first and let the teacher have face."

After they left, their house must have been nationalized, so they would first have to ask the government to get the house back. Anyway, they have the title deed and evidence, and the house cannot be lost to them just because they have been hiding their identities for many years.

Wen Ruyu waved her hand, "If I can get it back, I'll ask Cui Shaoyuan to say hello to you. Okay, let's stop talking and go to my house first. Although tomorrow is Labor Day, as the host, we have to arrange the process of welcoming guests well, so that those old guys don't say that we have no manners after being in trouble for ten years."

No disciple would disobey the master's orders.

Father Lu, Cheng Baoguo and his wife, and others all went to join in the fun. Only Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue did not go early due to work. They went to help on their day off the next day and picked up the children in the afternoon.

In the evening, people invited by Wen Ruyu arrived one after another.
