Soon it was New Year's Day again. The three aunts took the children in the yard to clean the house early in the morning, and then began to prepare their own dishes. Tong Yiya took out half a piece of bacon to add to the dish.
Then everyone made bread dumplings together. After all the dishes were fried and served, the dumplings started to cook in another pot.
After everything was prepared, the children sat at the table and started eating. They were no longer children and could eat by themselves, but some dishes were far away and could not be reached, so the older children would help to get them.
They had a very happy New Year’s Eve dinner. After the meal, Tong Yiya and some older children helped to clean up, while the younger children played snowball fights in the yard.
A few days after the Chinese New Year, school started again. Tong Yiya, a high school student, did not want to skip a grade and just wanted to finish her studies until graduation. So in the second half of the year, Huang Lili went to high school and they studied in the same school again.
The relationship between the two has not changed, and has only gotten better and better. From time to time, they would go out together to watch a movie or go to the park.
By now, things were becoming more and more chaotic outside. Tong Yiya nagged Huang Lili every day, telling her to just study hard and not worry about other things.
As soon as the get out of class was over, Huang Lili came to find her. Seeing her red eyes, Tong Yiya seemed to have guessed something, so she left the classroom and pulled her to a deserted place. Then she hugged herself and cried, "Xiaoya, our Chinese teacher was taken away by a lot of people while he was still teaching today. His head was bleeding during the struggle. I was so scared."
"Okay, don't be afraid. If that doesn't work, go ask the teacher to skip a grade. Come and study in the same class with me. You will graduate in a few months." Tong Yiya patted her back to comfort her.
"Of course I can, but I haven't learned a lot of things yet. I don't know if I can pass the exam." Huang Lili was still a little scared. She had actually been reading high school books for a long time, but she hadn't learned some of the knowledge well, so she was still a little afraid to try.
"Okay, I believe you. Don't forget that I taught you a lot of your knowledge," Tong Yiya encouraged her.
"Okay, I'll go see the teacher at noon."
"Okay, okay, stop crying. We can't help you with this matter. You can only protect yourself now," Tong Yiya advised. They really couldn't help at the moment. If they tried to help, their family might be implicated. It was better for them to keep quiet.
She also thought about helping, but she had to protect herself first. She accidentally heard that all of them in Hill would go to a farm in the northwest and would be sent away the day after tomorrow morning. She wondered if she could go to the place where they were being held in advance and give them some things that were easy to hide on their bodies, which would be a bit of a protection for them.
As she thought about it, she thought of the money and bills. She should also take some needles and thread and small pieces of cloth and throw them in early. Smart people would know what to do. She gave the things and left quickly.
After comforting Huang Lili, they both returned to the classroom.
After a day of classes, Tong Yiya waited for Huang Lili to come out in the afternoon after school. Seeing her happy look, she guessed that she had passed the exam.
The two exchanged a few words at the school gate and then walked home together. This side was closer to Huang Lili's home. After walking for a while, they reached a fork in the road and then separated and went back to their respective homes.
Tong Yiya returned to the orphanage and started preparing things in her room after dinner. She didn't plan to give much money, so she put all the money into a cloth bag, some one, some two, some five yuan.
After making more than twenty of them, it was already late at night and she went to bed early. The next morning when she arrived at school, Huang Lili reported to their class for the first class.
Although the two did not sit together, they were very happy to be in the same class. Huang Lili listened very carefully in class, and after class she would sit near Tong Yiya and chat with her.
When classmates saw him, they realized that this student who skipped a grade was acquainted with the perennial top student in the class, and it seemed that the two had a very good relationship.
They felt a little sad for a moment. They had been with Tong Yiya for almost two years, but had not been able to make friends with her. Now they realized that even the top students only played with other top students.
The happy day passed quickly. In the evening, it was late at night when Tong Yiya went out of the orphanage and found the location where those people were imprisoned.
She climbed up the wall stealthily and looked around. The yard was full of people, all wearing anklets.
Maybe it was because there were too many people, so they were all locked up in the yard. Now some of them were beaten and unconscious, and some had been hungry for a long time and had no strength left, and were now drowsy.
Tong Yiya watched for a while and saw a little boy secretly applying medicine to an old man's forehead. The old man was far away and she couldn't see clearly. Seeing that someone was awake, she took out the things she had prepared and threw them in the direction of the child.
After throwing the ball, he quickly climbed down the wall, changed his place and climbed up again. He saw that the child was hit by something. He looked around vigilantly at first, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his head to see what hit him.
Tong Yiya hid on the wall and watched him. When she saw the note in the small cloth bag, she secretly woke up the old man next to her and showed him the note.
When the old man saw the words on the note, he was happy at first, but he covered his mouth without saying a word. He opened the bag and looked at the things in it. He counted the number and asked the little boy next to him to call a few people over.
Later, when Tong Yiya saw them using the needle and thread to sew the small cloth bags inside their clothes, she just ignored them. After all, these people didn't look like bad people, so she could only help them.
After she returned to the orphanage, she went into the space to read a book, then took a shower and went out to rest.
After that, Tong Yiya never took care of anything again. She just went back and forth between the school and the orphanage with peace of mind. Besides working with Brother Long, she no longer goes out to sell goods alone.
After the next transaction, Brother Long left a note in the yard, saying that the next transaction time would be changed. It seemed that something happened on their side, and the next transaction time had not been set. Tong Yiya did not leave anything this time. After putting the money and three boxes from last time into the space, she left quietly.
After waiting for almost another month, Tong Yiya went to the black market in the back alley and observed that everything inside had returned to normal. She then sneaked into Brother Long's yard, and Brother Long was very happy to see her.
After the two met, they resumed the transaction that night, still in the same yard. This time, Brother Long asked for double the quantity of goods. The two parties met in the yard that night and made a ready-made transaction.
Later, they resumed shipping a batch of goods every half a month, and Tong Yiya’s high school graduation exam was approaching.
She and Huang Lili have been studying hard every day recently and have no spare time to play.
