"Let's go to the provincial capital and see if we can eventually reach Beijing." Yan Rushan spoke without waiting for Zhong Yuxiu to speak, causing Zhong Yuxiu to look at him several times.
The sky was getting light.
After breakfast, Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong went to the commune together to see the people off. Zhong Yuxiu asked Yan Rushan to go to the mountain together to hunt two small prey and brought back two meat dishes that night as a farewell banquet.
They stayed up late at night, gathered together and chatted about everything. The topics were very casual, and they said whatever came to their mind. Everyone relaxed, and the frustration of several male educated youths who had not received their certificates also dissipated. After all, they could go back, so a few days later was better.
The next day, before night fell, the educated youth site was dark and silent, and the educated youth got up one after another to see them off.

Zhong Yuxiu's eyes were red, and she waved back with a smile, "We're leaving. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
"Goodbye." Yan Rushan also waved, helped Zhong Yuxiu with her luggage and hurried away. Zhong Yuxiu quickly followed, and the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight. Sun Ruhong and the others sniffed and said, "After a while, we will all go our separate ways."
