Everyone enjoyed the dinner, except for Sangshen. Only Sangshen, seeing Xie Dong's smug smile, was so angry she felt like she was full of anger.
However, Xie Dong was quite generous and gave the remaining seafood to Bu Ling, who immediately beamed with joy. With Bu Ling happy, Sang Shen naturally stopped keeping a long face.
It has to be said that Xie Dong truly lives up to his reputation as Sang Shen's childhood friend, accurately grasping his personality!
Sang Zi acted quickly, and the next day he found an excuse to communicate with Jianning Farm. In order to cover his tracks, he not only transferred Professor Zhang and Professor Tao, but also several other knowledgeable senior professors.
After they arrived in Gu County, they were all assigned to the machinery factory. Director Yu of the machinery factory warmly welcomed these old professors.
However, their good fortune didn't last long. Just two days later, Professor Zhang and Professor Tao were caught engaging in bourgeois behavior and were sent to the countryside again. This time, it was even worse than before, as they were sent to a village deep in the mountains.
It is said that the village was extremely difficult to access, requiring a day and a night's journey to get out of the mountains. People there were also often hungry and cold, and wild animals would occasionally come down from the mountains, making the conditions quite harsh.
The two men escorting Professor Zhang and Professor Tao to Nanshan Village were also Sangzi's confidants. With Sangzi's subtle guidance, they would not make things difficult for the two elders on the way.
Not long after seeing the two elders off, Sangzi had Sangzhen deliver a message to Buling, saying that the two elders had arrived safely in Nanshan Village.
The day after receiving the news, Bu Ling went back to the military family compound and told Bu Yi. Bu Yi was extremely relieved. "Lingling, please thank Director Sang for me."
Bu Ling gave an 'OK' sign and asked, "Brother, do you want to go see them?" During the time the two professors were in Gu County, Bu Yi had not appeared to avoid suspicion.
Bu Yi pondered for a moment: "Let's wait a few more days, until this whole mess has passed before I go."
Bu Ling didn't force him, and said, "Brother, then Sang Shen and I will go with you and have Uncle Yu do a follow-up examination."
Buyi nodded: "Okay."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. It's time for Bu Ling and Bu Yi to go to Nanshan Village together as agreed.
On this rare sunny day, Bu Yi arrived at Bu Ling's tenement early in the morning. When he arrived, Bu Ling and Sang Shen had just finished eating breakfast.
When Sangshen saw him, she greeted him warmly, "Brother, you're here! Have you eaten? Would you like something to eat?"
Bu Yi shook his head: "I've already eaten in the cafeteria."
Sangshen didn't insist and poured Bu Yi a cup of hot water: "Alright, brother, wait a moment. We'll leave when Xie Dong arrives."
Buyi nodded and sat down.
A short while later, Xie Dong arrived with large bags and small packages. "Xiao Qi, are you all packed?"
Sangshen, Buyi, and Buling filed out. Except for Buling, the other two were also carrying large and small bags, their hands full of things.
When the neighbor, Aunt Lu, saw what the three of them were carrying, her eyes practically lit up with envy. She quickly walked over to Bu Ling and asked in a low voice, "Little Bu? Where are you going? Why are you carrying so much stuff?"
Bling kept walking: "Going to visit relatives!"
Sister-in-law Lu continued to press for details: "What kind of relatives are they? Why are they giving you so much help?"
Bling glanced back at her, rolling her eyes without any attempt to hide it: "We do!"
Sister-in-law Lu wanted to ask more questions, but Bu Ling quickened her pace and got into the car. This time, Bu Yi had driven. He knew that Nanshan Village was quite far away and the road was difficult to travel. They were also carrying a lot of things, so driving would be more convenient.
Following Sangshen's directions, Buyi drove the car to the foot of a mountain. The four of them got out of the car with their things. Sangshen said, "There's a path there. We'll follow the path up the mountain, then down the mountain, then up the mountain again, then down the mountain again, and we'll get there."
Bu Ling was astonished. No wonder they said Nanshan Village was safe. They had to climb two mountains. What kind of good person would be so foolish as to travel so far to find trouble? They would have to rest halfway before they even got there.
But they had no choice; in order to visit their friend, they had to grit their teeth and climb. Fortunately, of the four of them, only Buling was a weakling; the other three were all grown men with excellent stamina.
Bling was already panting halfway up the mountain when Sangshen quickly asked with concern, "Lingling, shall I carry you?"
Buling glanced at the large bags in his hands and waved his hand in refusal: "It's okay, I can manage!"
It's just two mountains, no big deal!
As a result, due to Bu Ling's hindrance, it was almost dark when they finally arrived at Nanshan Village. Nanshan Village is located in a valley, truly surrounded by mountains on all sides. There is usually only one mountain road in and out of the village, and it is not easy to walk on.
Fortunately, a stream flows through Nanshan Village, making it easy to get water. This stream also divides the valley in two, giving the village a secluded, idyllic feel at dusk.
As soon as the four approached, they were spotted by the villagers of Nanshan Village, and the village chief was quickly summoned.
Sangshen stepped forward: "Uncle Village Chief, do you still remember me?"
A simple smile appeared on the village chief's dark, rough face: "I remember, of course I remember. You've come to deliver something to Teacher Shen, haven't you?"
Sangshen nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time since I've been here, so I thought I'd come and see them. I'll have to trouble the village chief." As she spoke, Sangshen took out a pound of brown sugar from the bamboo basket behind her and handed it to the village chief.
The village chief didn't refuse. He immediately instructed a boy who was about half a year old beside him: "Gouwa, go and call Teacher Shen and Doctor Yu. Tell them their friends have come to visit them!"
