Yang Jingru bought plane tickets for Li Yuetang and others to return to Beicheng.
"By plane?"
When Song Lingyi heard that they were going to take a plane back to North City, her eyes widened in shock.
She had never seen an airplane before. It was not until she arrived at the cadre school that she learned about the existence of such a magical means of transportation as airplanes that could travel thousands of miles a day.
"How can an airplane fly? Does it flap its wings like a bird?"
Song Lingyi asked curiously, her arms flapping like a bird, making Lin Wanjun laugh.
"Planes don't fly by flapping their wings; they have engines."
"What's an engine?"
Song Lingyi continued to ask questions with a curious look on her face, which made Lin Wanjun a little overwhelmed.
"Want to know what an engine is? Then go back to North City and study hard. Once you get into university, you'll know everything."
Lin Wanjun smiled and stroked Song Lingyi's hair, saying, "Of course, you have to balance work and rest. You can't become a nerd."
"Yeah! I want to study like my sister, go to college, and bring honor to Mom and Dad!"
Song Lingyi waved her fist and swore loudly.
Lin Wanjun wanted to correct Song Lingyi, saying that studying was a major matter related to her own life and was not about bringing glory to anyone. But then she changed her mind and thought that if bringing glory to the Song family could become Song Lingyi's motivation to study, it seemed not a bad idea.
How can there be so many standard answers in life?
Sheng Ailian packed a whole box of things for Li Yuetang.
There was food and useful things, and he wished he could move half of the Yang family's supplies to her.
Li Yuetang said it was too much, but Sheng Ailian still felt it was not enough.
"Although you're still staying in the house in the compound this time, it's bound to be a mess. If it weren't too far away, I'd even send you your bedding."
Sheng Ailian sighed and said, "Among the many people around me who were sent down, you are the fastest to return to the city. To be honest, it's all thanks to Mingcheng and Zhanjin fighting on the front lines."
When the military representative contacted local departments to coordinate the Song family's return to the city, he said this.
"The men of the Song family are risking their lives on the front lines to defend their country, yet we're bullying their families in the rear. How can this be justified?"
"Will this undermine the morale of the troops? Will this delay the war?"
…
Lin Wanjun knew very well that Yang Hongxun also played an important role in the Song family's smooth return to the city.
"By the way, Shi Kai's return to the city has basically been settled."
On the way to the airport, Yang Jingru said, "Shi Kai's matter could have been a big deal or a small one. The old man has already informed all parties involved. If nothing unexpected happens, Shi Kai will be able to return to his original unit by May at the latest."
It may be impossible to return to my previous position and continue serving as vice president, but at least there is hope.
Lin Wanjun was also very happy to hear the news.
"Doctor Shi doesn't know this news yet, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept it from me."
Yang Jingru nodded and smiled.
"Don't tell me, Shi Kai really didn't know. I only received the news yesterday. After I send you off, I'll go to the cadre school and inform Shi Kai in person."
After a pause, Yang Jingru said, "I have always felt very sympathetic and sorry for your experience of being sent down, but I also feel very fortunate."
"If you hadn't been sent down, if you hadn't happened to be on the same train with the old man, I'm afraid he..."
The death of Yang Hongxun will not only make Yang Jingru lose her father, but also ruin her career prospects.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Wanjun is the benefactor of the entire Yang family.
Li Yuetang looked at Lin Wanjun and said, "Why did you only stay in North City for three or four days this time? Doesn't school start after the Lantern Festival? Why not stay a little longer?"
Hearing this, Yang Jingru glanced at Lin Wanjun.
Yes, Li Yuetang had no idea that Lin Wanjun was going to the front line, and Lin Wanjun had no intention of letting her know.
"My mother's husband and son have already gone to the front line. I know she's very sad and is just holding on. I don't want her to worry about me anymore."
"Anyway, this place is far from North City. As long as you help me keep the secret, she will definitely not know."
"Maybe the war will end soon, and I can go back to North City for the summer vacation."
She said it easily, but war is not playing house, how can it end just like that?
These words were nothing more than comforting her.
Yang Jingru originally strongly opposed Lin Wanjun going to the front line.
She was even so angry that she wanted to lock Lin Wanjun up and keep her under strict watch, and have teachers from the medical school come to her home to teach her. In short, she was told not to take risks by going to the front line.
In the end, it was her father Yang Hongxun who interceded for Lin Wanjun.
"Although field hospitals are also on the front lines, they don't face direct combat. Their main focus is on testing the doctors' mental strength."
"As for psychological quality, I think Junjun is very qualified. In such a simple environment as the cadre school, he has performed surgery on several people, and all of them were successful."
"This alone is what field hospitals desperately need. In that kind of situation, psychological literacy is even more important than medical skills."
At this point, Yang Jingru had no choice but to agree to arrange Lin Wanjun into the medical team and set off a week later.
So Lin Wanjun's trip back to North City was very tight and hurried.
But even so, she had to go back because she had something important to do.
After completing the check-in procedures, Lin Wanjun, Li Yuetang and Song Lingyi were led by airport staff to the VIP lounge to wait for boarding.
Lin Wanjun knew very well that the privilege of the VIP room was not due to her own ability, but the special treatment granted by Yang Hongxun.
I have to say, it is really convenient.
As the plane taxied on the runway and circled upwards towards the sunset, the strong feeling of weightlessness made Song Lingyi both scared and excited, and she hugged Li Yuetang's arm tightly.
Lin Wanjun looked through the window at the building that was getting smaller and smaller from the ground, feeling mixed emotions.
When they arrived at the cadre school after two days and two nights of journey on the hot and crowded train, they seemed calm, but in fact they were confused and uneasy.
No one knows when the years of exile will end.
No one knows when they will be able to go home.
With an uneasy heart, they arrived at this desolate Gobi Desert in late summer and early autumn. Although they were in poverty, the whole family was there.
Now, they are flying back to the city, enjoying the privileges, but Song Mingcheng and his son are unable to return home together.
Life is like this, it’s hard to have it both ways.
Li Yuetang was still very happy and kept chattering about the future along the way.
"Junjun, look how fast this plane is. I got on it in the afternoon and it arrived in the evening."
"If you miss home, you can always fly back. Don't worry about the airfare, Mom will pay for it."
"If you're busy with your studies, Mom will bring Lingyi to visit you. It'll be a great opportunity for her to visit the university and broaden her horizons."
…
Lin Wanjun listened to Li Yuetang's words in silence, without responding, and did not dare to look into her shining eyes.
Soon, under a sky full of stars, the plane circled downward and landed smoothly at North City Airport.
North City, we are back.
