“Mom, the plane is so great! I’ll definitely tell Annie when I get back, so she won’t be scared and that flying is very comfortable. Then she can bring Daniel to see their mom.”
"Okay, when you meet your sister Hongmei, tell me about your experience along the way."
"Okay, Mom!"
The ten people in the regular cabin had mixed feelings. They were happy because they had all received their diplomas and were on their way back home. But as they were leaving, they felt a little reluctant, after all, they had lived here for four years and spent the best years of their lives here.
When the plane arrived at X, Zhao Tiancheng took the phone number his son had given him and dialed the number of the person in charge. After explaining the situation, the person on the other end readily agreed that they would be there to pick them up in half an hour and told them to wait in the lobby.
Kong Yushun and Cao Binggang restrained the other eight people, kept an eye on their luggage, and sat in the hall to wait.
Half an hour later, the person in charge arrived and was very enthusiastic when he saw Zhao Tiancheng.
"Comrades, there's still two hours before the next boat arrives. Would you like to go eat and rest for a while?"
"Comrade, thank you so much. There are ten international students, my wife, and our child, so please take us directly to the ferry terminal. We'll wait there."
"Okay, how many of you are there?"
There are fifteen children in total.
"Okay, I'll call a car, let's go straight to the ferry terminal."
"Comrade, we have a lot of luggage, could you please find a larger vehicle?"
"Hehe, there are only rickshaws, and everyone carries their own luggage."
"I see. Okay, I understand. Thank you."
An hour later, the sixteen of them finally arrived at the ferry.
After buying the tickets and distributing them to everyone, Zhao Tiancheng then approached Kong Yushun and asked him to check out a place to eat.
Wang Xinyi held the curious Wang Zining in her arms and instructed him, "Ningning, you must not leave your mother's side. Do you see how many people are here? If someone takes you away, we won't be able to find you."
Wang Zining looked at Wang Xinyi fearfully. "Mom, I will never leave you. Please don't put me down."
"Okay, Mom will hold you the whole time. When we get to your sister Hongmei's house, Mom will take you to have a good look around."
"Yes, I will be good."
When Kong Yushun returned, he had his eye on a noodle shop, but he might not have enough time. So he came back to ask everyone if there were any steamed buns for sale. He asked them to count the number and buy some later so everyone could have a bite.
Everyone was quite safety-conscious, since they were all carrying money and were afraid of something going wrong, so they all agreed.
The person in charge saw them onto the ship, and Zhao Tiancheng slipped him two hundred yuan. He also gave him his contact information in Country M.
It wasn't until 4 PM that the group of fifteen disembarked. There were no telephones there, but Haozheng told them they could go directly to their lodgings.
So the group took a rickshaw and went directly to the entrance of the camp.
"Comrade, I'm back from country M. There are ten of them, all international students. We came back together. Could you please inform your leader that I need to borrow the phone?"
"Wait a moment." The soldier on guard dialed the general's number.
Upon receiving the call, Zheng Guohui immediately summoned his deputy, and the two drove to the entrance.
I saw fifteen people outside the door, including two foreigners.
Zhao Tiancheng stepped forward. "Hello comrade, I'm Zhao Tiancheng. I'm here to bring ten international students back. May I borrow your phone?"
"Yes, please come in." Zheng Guohui knew Zhao Tiancheng's name, but had never met him, so he remained cautious and didn't say much.
The deputy called a truck, and everyone got in. Zhao Tiancheng got into the jeep, and they arrived at Zheng Guohui's office ten minutes later.
All ten of them were exhausted from the journey, and little Wang Zining was no exception.
Zhao Tiancheng handed the phone to Zheng Guohui and Zhang Hongmei. After the call was connected, it was Wang Xinyi who spoke.
"Hello, I am Wang Xinyi. Please help me find Zhang Hongmei."
The person who answered the phone was Wang Xiaoshun.
"Aunt Wang?"
"Xiao Shun?"
"Hehe, it's me, Aunt Wang. Why are you making a phone call?"
"We're at our base in G City, we just arrived. Where's Hongmei?"
"Hehe, Hongmei is resting. I'll ask the leader to come and answer the phone right away. Please wait a moment."
"Um!"
Zheng Guohui overheard their conversation, thus eliminating any suspicion he might have had about them.
Zhang Shouyi picked up the microphone. "I am Zhang Shouyi."
“I am Wang Xinyi. Zhao Tiancheng and I have brought back ten of them, along with two representatives from the McCann family.”
"Okay, hand the phone to General Zheng."
Zheng Guohui answered the phone. "Hello, sir!"
"Hello, General Zheng, send a ship to take them to Q City."
"Yes, are we leaving today?"
"Tomorrow!"
"yes."
Zheng Guohui hung up the phone. "You guys go and rest. We'll leave at seven tomorrow morning and it should take about five days to get to Q City. There will be someone there to pick us up."
"Thank you, General."
"You are welcome."
The fifteen men washed up, ate, and rested in the military camp.
The next day, we boarded the ship. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xinyi felt extremely tired. But looking at her energetic son, she leaned against Zhao Tiancheng's chest and said, "I'm really getting old. Look at Ningning, he seems to have inexhaustible energy."
"Yes, sometimes I feel powerless."
"Brother Zhao, why isn't Hongmei answering the phone?"
"Maybe Hongmei isn't home. The boss didn't say anything, did he?"
Kong Yushun stood on the deck, feeling extremely excited. He was finally back, home.
Zhao Yuetong was a little down. "Xiaotong, don't overthink it. Go back and see Hongmei first, leave all the money with her, and then make a decision after you get home."
"Yes, I know."
When Zhang Shouyi returned to his room, he saw Zhang Hongmei looking at him curiously.
"Wang Xinyi is back. She and Zhao Tiancheng brought ten people back together."
"Really? Then Ningning must have come too."
"Probably! I arranged for Zheng Guohui to take them back by boat, and five days later, I'll have Xiao Shun drive to pick them up."
"Hehe, that's great."
"So happy?"
"Of course. It's been almost a year since we last saw each other."
"Wife, the baby's awake." Zhang Shouyi suddenly changed the subject, really not wanting to hear his wife say she missed someone else.
Zhang Hongmei knew exactly what Zhang Shouyi was thinking, and rolled her eyes at him.
This was originally meant to express dissatisfaction, but in Zhang Shouyi's eyes, it was his wife exchanging loving glances with him, so he immediately stepped over and cupped his wife's face in his hands.
"You're shameless! The child is awake, and you're being indecent."
Zhang Shouyi watched as his wife picked up the baby, turned to the side to breastfeed, and immediately sat down beside her.
