Chapter 17 Mom, I miss my little uncle.
Every day, Yin Xiaoyin eagerly awaited a reply from Beidu.
She desperately needed an opportunity and a tone.
She often thought about how her parents said her life in the countryside was tough...
But she was surrounded by her compatriots, this land was called Huaguo, she was the master of this place, this was her home.
Even if they eat coarse food and live in thatched huts, the natural sense of belonging they feel is pure happiness.
Of course, she also knew that she was one of the "very few people".
These days, she has come to understand even more the "suffering" of most people in China.
Their dreams were just small; they didn't even dare to think about having enough to eat. They just wanted to avoid going hungry and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
These dreams also gave her a deeper understanding of the plight of those "strangers," a kind of "suffering" that is difficult to express.
If those people forget their "home," forget their identity...
Why let foreign countries exploit your "mind" so maliciously? Why can't you just live a carefree life and be better off than anyone else...?
Like a fish in water.
But they couldn't do it.
Their stubbornness, their childlike faith etched in their souls, their only longing day and night—to return to their mother's embrace…
This destined them to suffer endless torment.
Their abilities may only bring them greater misfortune.
Thinking of what Xu Qingyan had written that day, every word, even though it had turned to ashes before her eyes, was still clearly imprinted in her mind as blood and tears.
A weak nation has no diplomacy.
This is a lesson proven by countless deaths.
Yin Xiaoyin was thinking too clearly, so much so that within just a few days, even the carefree robot developed a hint of melancholy between its brows.
*
This day.
Yin Xiaoyin was sweating profusely in the wheat field when she heard a familiar voice, trembling with tears: "Yinyin..."
Immediately afterwards, she was held tightly in a warm, familiar embrace, which instantly relaxed her. She obediently called out, "Mommy..."
Liang Minying, who always pays attention to her image, was now crying and sniffling: "My Yinyin has gotten darker and thinner, and it's only been a few days..."
Yin Xiaoyin looked down and saw that Liang Minying's once clean shoes were now stained black with mud from the ground.
"Mom, your shoes are dirty..."
Liang Minying, who was feeling sorry for her daughter, looked down and immediately exclaimed, "What should we do? Quick, quick, come with Mom to change your shoes!"
Helplessly, Yin Xiaoyin was pulled along by Liang Minying. She glanced at her progress for the day, thought for a moment, and said, "Mom, wait for me for another half hour. I'll finish today's work and then I'll keep you company. Otherwise, if I go back with you to change, I'll have to come back to work again..."
Liang Minying looked at her feet with a troubled expression, feeling uncomfortable all over.
But his love for his daughter prevailed.
The woman, who had never done farm work before, suddenly tried to snatch the sickle from her daughter's hand: "Tell your mother, and I'll do it for you."
Yin Xiaoyin chuckled and pushed her to the side of the ground, found her a spot, and then placed her own little mat there: "Mom, I can manage by myself. You can rest here for a while and wait for me, okay?"
Liang Minying felt even more like crying as her daughter made arrangements for her. Her daughter, who was spoiled at home, had actually learned to take care of people here.
But does my daughter really know how to do farm work?
She imagined that what she would see in a moment was definitely her daughter in a flurry of activity.
However, what happened next left Liang Minying speechless.
Wait a minute, that's her daughter doing the farm work so efficiently, and she felt a surge of pride: "My daughter Yinyin's movements are more pleasing to the eye than anyone else's..."
I'm so touched, heartbroken, and proud all at the same time.
Yin Xiaoyin took her mother to the educated youth settlement. First, she poured Liang Minying a glass of water, then washed her mother's shoes, and cleaned up some muddy footprints in the house.
This was the first time Liang Minying had felt so helpless since becoming a mother.
Ever since she gave birth to Yin Yin, she has treated Yin Xiao Yin like a precious treasure, taking good care of her from childhood to adulthood. Now, she is being taken care of by her daughter.
After Yin Xiaoyin finished tidying up, she saw Liang Minying looking at her with red eyes. She could easily guess what Liang Minying was thinking, so she took Liang Minying's hand and said, "Look, I'm doing very well in my workout..."
Liang Minying choked up first, then tightly grasped Yin Xiaoyin's hand: "Let's go back, let's not stay here. Mom is afraid that Beidu is dangerous for you, but seeing you here makes Mom's heart ache even more."
Yin Xiaoyin nuzzled against Liang Minying's shoulder and neck affectionately, speaking like a kitten: "Mom, I'm not suffering. This isn't tiring for me. I will definitely return to Beidu one day..."
That will be the time when I can protect myself...
However, Yin Xiaoyin didn't say this aloud. Now, such words would only sound like boasting, making Liang Minying even less convinced.
"But……"
Liang Minying wanted to say something more...
Yin Xiaoyin shook her arm again and said, "It's not easy to go to the countryside now. It must be very difficult for Mom to get a letter of introduction. Can we talk about something important?"
Liang Minying couldn't help but tap her daughter's forehead; her daughter had really grown up a lot.
She is a clear-headed woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to harden her heart and decide to send her daughter to the countryside. Just now, she did become emotional because she witnessed her daughter's suffering firsthand.
She rolled her eyes at Yin Xiaoyin with annoyance, then said, "I already sent you what you wanted when I came over. Have you made up your mind?"
Yin Xiaoyin's eyes lit up instantly: "Mom, I miss my little uncle."
Liang Minying's eyes reddened again; how could she not miss her younger brother? The two siblings had an extremely close relationship, and her brother had done so to protect his daughter…
She wiped her eyes: "This matter has been under negotiation. You, you will definitely see your uncle again."
Liang Minying looked confident.
Yin Xiaoyin avoided Liang Minying's gaze with slight reluctance, thinking of Xu Qingyan's diary. If it was true, and no changes were made, then the person they had been waiting for would truly never be seen again.
She absolutely must not do that.
During negotiations, don't those powerful countries just act like thugs because they are powerful?
Therefore, she relinquished the initiative in the negotiations to her own country.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze clear and bright, and she said with particular determination, "Mom, we will definitely meet Uncle again."
She then discussed with Liang Minying that she wouldn't restrict the types of books available, as long as they were related to research in mechanics, chemistry, biology, etc., she wanted to read them all.
Liang Minying nodded seriously in agreement.
"Beidu is not very stable right now. If you can't contact your parents for a while, don't worry. Mom will find a way to get you the books you want..."
She tapped her daughter's head again: "You're not allowed to rummage through the garbage dump. It's filthy there. Oh, and this is shampoo I brought especially for you to prevent lice."
