Li Mi's parents and their group arrived around noon. There were four people in total, including Li Mi's parents and her cousin and his wife.
When I arrived, the group of people in the educated youth camp were preparing lunch. Suddenly, the gate was pushed open with great force, and then a crying voice came in. The voice came before the person arrived: "Mi Mi, my Mi Mi, Mi Mi, where are you..."
Everyone quickly put down their work and gathered in the yard. Standing at the gate were the village chief and four unfamiliar faces, who were Li Mi's parents and their group.
Li Mi's mother was wearing a grey Lenin suit without patches. She had a pretty face and a thin figure. Perhaps because she was in a hurry, her clothes were wrinkled and her face looked haggard. At this moment, she was shouting "Mi Mi, Mi Mi" with tears in her eyes.
A young and beautiful woman and a tall and handsome man were supporting Li Mi's mother on each side, with worried expressions on their faces. Behind them followed a middle-aged man with gray hair, tall and thin figure, dignified and upright. He should be Li Mi's father.
"You are all here. These are Li Mi's family members," the village chief introduced everyone to the educated youth center. "This is Li Mi's father, this is Li Mi's mother, and these two are Li Mi's cousin and his wife. They are here to pick up Li Mi!"
"Hello!" Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang were still the representatives at the educated youth point who stepped forward to answer the call.
"Hello, thank you very much for taking care of my daughter!" Li Mi's father stepped forward and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"You are too polite. As an educated youth in a youth training center, this is what we should do!" Zhang Hongliang immediately bowed and returned the greeting.
"Where's Mimi? Where's my Mimi?" Li Mi's mother couldn't wait to step forward and grabbed Xie Sufang's arm, "Take me to see my Mimi!"
"Ah, Auntie, Li Zhiqing is in the room. I'll take you in right now," Xie Sufang was startled when she was suddenly caught and said quickly.
"Second aunt, don't be anxious. Let this educated youth comrade go first. She will take us to see Mimi," Li Mi's cousin's wife stepped forward and held Li Mi's excited mother, whispering to comfort her.
"I'm sorry, my second aunt missed her daughter so much that she was a little impulsive at the moment. Please don't mind," Li Mi's cousin stepped forward and apologized to the frightened Xie Sufang.
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand," Xie Sufang waved her hand to show that she didn't mind, and then said softly to Li Mi's mother, "Auntie, come with me."
"Let's go, let's go, I want to see my Mimi," Li Mi's mother urged Xie Sufang to hurry up.
Xie Sufang didn't waste any time. She turned around and led Li Mi's mother and Li Mi's cousin's wife to the female educated youth's house.
Wen Nuan, Liu Xiaoling, Lin Yiman and the remaining male educated youth stood at the kitchen door and watched everything in front of them quietly. They did not step forward nor continue with what they were doing.
Xie Sufang opened the door and invited Li Mi's mother and cousin's wife in. As soon as Li Mi's mother entered the house, she looked at the dark and small house and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, "My Mi Mi has suffered..."
"Li Zhiqing is here. Ever since what happened a few days ago, she has been lying there quietly without saying a word..."
"Mi Mi!" Before Xie Sufang finished her words, a heart-wrenching cry rang out.
Everyone outside the house felt sad when hearing the crying, and Li Mi's father's eyes were red.
"Mi Mi, I'm your mother. Look at your mother and talk to her, okay?"
"My dear, look at your mother..."
"Mi Mi, Mi Mi, mommy is here to take you home!"
"Mi Mi, don't be afraid, mom is here!"
"Mi Mi..."
The sound of Li Mi's mother's heartbroken crying reached the yard. The old educated youth couldn't help but shed tears as they listened to the mother's hoarse and painful voice, thinking of their old mother who was far away.
Li Mi, who had been lying quietly on the kang, became extremely thin in just a few days. She refused to eat or drink. If Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman had not forced her to eat some liquid food, she might not have survived.
Hearing her mother's cries, Li Mi finally showed some reaction. She rolled her eyes slightly, and her throat, which had not spoken for a few days, only uttered a weak sound, "Mom, Mom..."
Li's mother, who was lying on top of Li Mi, did not notice her daughter's changes. Instead, her cousin's wife, who was holding Li Mi's hand tightly on the other side, noticed the changes in her little cousin, "Second Aunt, Mi Mi seems to have a reaction."
"What?" Mother Li quickly stood up and moved closer to Li Mi's mouth.
"Mother……"
"Hey, hey, mom is here, mom is here!"
"Mom, it hurts, it hurts so much..."
"Mi Mi, where does it hurt? Mommy will touch you, touch you..."
"Mom, it hurts, it hurts, Mom!"
Li Mi became more and more agitated, and finally she shouted and cried.
"Mother!……"
In the yard, Father Li heard his daughter's heart-wrenching cry. He felt a pain in his heart but also a sense of relief. On the way here, he heard from the village chief about his daughter's condition in the past few days. Since the incident, his daughter has not cried or made a fuss. It is a good thing that she can cry now. He was afraid that she would not be able to cry and would keep it in her heart. That would be the worst!
"Mi Mi, my good daughter," Li's mother, with the help of Li Mi's cousin's wife, pulled her daughter up and hugged her in her arms, stroking her back gently. "Cry, cry, it will be better after you cry. After you finish crying, come home with your mother..."
Li Mi felt the familiar breath and her mother's warm embrace, as if she had finally returned to her safe harbor, and she burst into tears.
Seeing her cheerful little cousin like this, Li Mi's wife wiped the tears from her face, then turned to Xie Sufang and smiled shyly, "I'll have to trouble you to tell me where Mi Mi's cabinet is, so I can pack up her things and take them away later."
