Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a week later.
The Song family of four all went out and followed the group of educated youth to the train station.
During this week, Song Ruanruan thought of many ways to ask Song Anshan for help, but Song Anshan had no solution.
Until the day of separation came, Song Ruanruan cried uncontrollably and almost fainted.
Everything was her own choice, and she knew that she and Song Anshan would be separated for no more than a year at most. But just before getting on the train, Song Zhi saw her father with gray hair, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Since you've gone to the countryside, there's nothing Dad can do to help you." Song Anshan stood in front of Song Zhi, his tall figure still majestic. He patted Song Zhi's shoulder and looked at his daughter, whom he had raised like a treasure. "In the countryside, you must listen carefully to the leaders' orders and send a telegram to Dad at the factory every week. Got it?"
Song Zhi nodded vigorously, stretched out his hands to hug Song Anshan's waist, and said in a choked voice: "I will take good care of myself, Dad!"
Song Ruanruan, who was standing by, grabbed Lin Wanru's arm and cried breathlessly.
Song Anshan watched the two of them get on the train. He waited until he saw Song Zhi sit down before turning his back and secretly wiping away his tears.
Song Zhi was sitting on the train. She saw Song Anshan wiping his tears with his back to her. Her already red eyes finally turned red.
She also couldn't bear to leave her father, and she wanted to stay with him, but it was not possible. She couldn't be with him now because she had her own things to do.
"Dad, give me a year! Your daughter will come back soon to fulfill her filial duty to you!" Song Zhi said silently in her heart.

at the same time.
In front of the Beijing Grocery Store.
Tang Junhe bought five kilograms of Red Fuji apples.
His vacation was about to end, and he would be returning to the army today. After much thought, he decided to talk to Song Zhi before leaving.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, the two of them had indeed had a relationship. Although he did not like her, if Song Zhi wanted to be responsible for her, he would immediately return to the army and report to marry her.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, Song Zhi has been pestering him for so many years, but strangely enough, he hasn't seen any sign of her in the past few days.
He felt strange because he knew Song Zhi too well. She was definitely not someone who would give up easily. Could it be that she had other thoughts in mind?
While thinking, he carried some fruit to the Song family.
He knocked on the door, and the person who came to open it was Lin Wanru, who looked haggard and had red and swollen eyes.
When she saw him, Lin Wanru was stunned for a moment. She had a lot of questions to ask this person!
Quickly calming down the emotions in her eyes, Lin Wanru curled the corners of her lips and greeted, "Jun He is here? Come in quickly."
As he said that, he went to pour tea.
Tang Junhe walked in calmly, and was surprised not to see Song Zhi's chubby figure. Song Anshan was sitting on the sofa opposite, and he didn't look very well. When he saw him, he smiled slightly and greeted him briefly.
"How come Jun He has time to come to my place?"
"I'm about to return to the team, so I came to see you." Tang Junhe hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Uncle Song, is Xiaozhi at home today? I want to talk to her about something."
When Song Zhi was mentioned, Song Anshan couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
His reaction left Tang Junhe a little puzzled.
Lin Wanru, who was standing by, explained with red eyes:
"Xiaotang, today, Song Zhi and Song Ruanruan went to the countryside to work in the fields. They definitely won't be back for a year or two."
It was she and Song Anshan who personally sent the two of them to the train.
After saying this, Lin Wanru burst into tears. Song Anshan on the other side was also silent. When Tang Junhe heard this answer, his eyes shrank slightly for a few seconds, and then he couldn't help frowning.
Song Zhi went to cut in line?
This woman slept with him and then ran away?

Right now.
On the slowly moving train, a group of educated youth were singing "The East is Red" loudly.
They sang loudly and enthusiastically, as if they were full of infinite hope for the future.
It takes three days and two nights to travel from the capital to Dongyang Commune in Fengchuan County by green train. When the train starts moving, it makes a dinging sound.
On the train, some are happy and some are sad.
One group of people were overjoyed, while another group was gloomy and sad. Each of them had their lips tightly closed, their faces looked bleak and pale, and their faces looked uglier than if someone had died in their family.
Song Ruanruan, who was next to Song Zhi, started crying as soon as she got on the train and has been crying until now, crying non-stop.
The train had been traveling for two hours, and during these two hours, Song Ruanruan kept crying and shedding tears.
After these two hours, Song Zhi's mood had calmed down.
Looking at the different expressions of people around him, Song Zhi was extremely bored, so he took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, leaned against the window, looked at the scenery outside, and cracked the melon seeds in his hand.
Song Ruanruan felt that her tears were almost dried up. She wanted to see if Song Zhi was the same as her, but when she turned around, she saw Song Zhi leisurely eating melon seeds.
"Song Zhi, what are you doing? Why are you still in the mood to eat melon seeds?"
Song Ruanruan asked in disbelief, while Song Zhi just thought that the other party's question was nonsense.
"There's no turning back now. If I don't eat sunflower seeds on the train, what other entertainment options are there?"
In the 1970s, the trains were still the simplest green ones that could only carry people and goods. There was no radio and no other entertainment. The only way to pass the time was to eat melon seeds.
She was choked by Song Zhi's answer. Looking at Song Zhi's calm face, and then at the carriage full of educated youth, needless to say, she also felt a little embarrassed.
