On the other side, Secretary Wang and the team leader personally sent Lin Shaoyang and others to the provincial capital.

When they arrived, it was already late at night. There was no way to go back, so they had to find a place to stay in the provincial capital and come back the next day.

The next day when they were preparing to check in the goods, they found that the team had prepared a sack full of local specialties for each person.

Yesterday they thought that these sacks were just mountain products given to the wire factory, but they didn’t expect that they were actually for themselves!

Lin Shaoyang quickly shook his hand and sincerely refused, "Secretary Wang, Team Leader, we appreciate your kindness! But you two should sell these specialties. We've also picked all kinds of mountain products ourselves, and we can't eat all of them. You can share them and exchange them for money. Besides, we have too much stuff to carry."

The captain raised his voice and shouted, "Don't you think you can check things on the train? We country folk are uneducated and illiterate. They can even take dozens of sacks for you, not to mention a few. You don't have to carry these yourself. Besides, there's only a little of each item in here, and it wouldn't be easy to sell. These are gifts from everyone, and we've already brought them to the train station. Don't ask me to take them back. How are we going to explain to everyone?"

Secretary Wang, standing nearby, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! Xiaolin, this little gift is nothing compared to the contributions you've made to our village. But our village doesn't have anything valuable right now, so we only have these local specialties to show our appreciation. Don't despise them. When you have time in the future, be sure to come back and visit the village often."

Hearing these words, Lin Shaoyang felt warm in his heart. He knew very well the simplicity and kindness of his fellow villagers, so he no longer refused.

Instead, he shouted with gratitude, "Thank you, Secretary Wang! And team leader, thank everyone for us when you get back! Also, if any girls in the village can't pay their tuition, as long as their families agree that they can go to school and they study hard, just come to me. I will always cover their tuition. And you must ensure that girls learn to read and write, so that they can truly hold up half the sky in the future!"

Secretary Wang assured with a firm and serious expression, "Don't worry, Xiaolin! We know everything! Starting next semester, we will supervise all the school-age girls in the village. No one will be left behind; they will all be sent to school to learn to read and write. If they disobey the village's arrangements, we will deduct their work points and use them as an example for criticism."

Hearing this, Lin Shaoyang showed a relieved smile on his face, and that smile was as bright and warm as a flower blooming in spring.

Then he said earnestly, "That's perfect! If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to send me a telegram or write to me. Even if it's urgent and you don't have time to contact me, you can always go to Jiang Yanqiu for help first. She's a kind and enthusiastic girl, and she will definitely do her best to help everyone solve the problem. As for her efforts, I will compensate her."

Secretary Wang and the others all smiled and responded, "We've all taken these words to heart. We won't hold back when the time comes!"

Because the team leader and his men were in a hurry to rush back to deal with the team's affairs, they left in a hurry without waiting for Lin Shaoyang and the others to get on the car.

The road conditions weren't very good to begin with, and driving became even more difficult after dark, so it was better to return early.

Liu Yuanda and Lin Shaoyang stood there quietly, watching the tractor going farther and farther away and finally disappearing.

The two of them were in extremely complicated moods, just like a bottle of five flavors had been overturned, with all kinds of feelings mixed together.

My heart is filled with an indescribable sadness of separation.

Even Liu Yuanda, who used to look forward to leaving this place as soon as possible, often cursed this poor and remote place in his heart.

When the time came to say goodbye, a strange feeling surged into my heart like a tide.

He suddenly felt that the captain, who he had previously found so annoying, was not so annoying anymore;

Looking at the land under my feet that I once particularly disliked, I now feel a little reluctant to leave it.

The two of them went to check in their luggage with sadness, and then went to the waiting room to wait for the bus.

When he was almost sleepy, Lin Shaoyang's hat was suddenly taken off his head without any warning.

Then, a familiar voice floated into their ears: "Oh, I'm so sorry, children don't understand!"

When Liu Yuanda heard the voice, he was stunned at first, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was completely dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, and it took him a long time to stammer out the name: "Jiang... Jiang Nanzheng?"

Jiang Nanzheng was also surprised. They had deliberately wanted to avoid Liu Yuanda and Lin Shaoyang.

Who knew that I would run into him by chance when I went to the toilet.

At this moment, the three of them just looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Especially when Lin Shaoyang's eyes fell on the little snowflake in Jiang Nanzheng's arms, the embarrassment was so intense that Jiang Nanzheng, who was usually eloquent, suddenly didn't know what to do.

While the adults were still in a daze, the clever and cute little snowflake couldn't wait any longer. She stretched out her chubby little hands towards Lin Shaoyang and opened her little mouth to reveal a row of white and clean teeth.

Shouting happily: "Daddy, hold me! Daddy, hold me!"

The sudden shout made Lin Shaoyang react. He quickly reached out and held Xiao Xuehua firmly in his arms, his face full of joy and love.

She chuckled softly and said, "Little Snowflake, how come you have such a good memory? Haven't you forgotten your dad yet?"

The little guy hugged Lin Shaoyang's neck tightly like a cute little kitten, and called out in a coquettish voice: "Daddy!"

Just such a simple name seemed to have magical power, which made Lin Shaoyang's heart soften in an instant.

At the same time, Lin Shaoyang finally understood why Grandpa Guan didn't let them go home to see Xiao Xuehua. It turned out that he was afraid that they would be exposed by accident.

But it's been almost two months now. It's really surprising that that little snowflake still remembers Lin Shaoyang and even took off his hat when passing by.

As soon as Xiao Xuehua saw Lin Shaoyang, she happily jumped on him and hugged him tightly.

Even when Jiang Nanzheng, who was next to him, wanted to take Xiao Xuehua away, the little guy refused to compromise at all.

There was no choice but to find someone to change seats with after getting on the bus.

Xiao Xuehua told Lin Shaoyang her story in slurred speech.

Everyone seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding along the way, and no one explained how Jiang Nanzheng was still alive and how Xiao Xuehua lived with Jiang Nanzheng.

The Yang brothers saw a train for the first time, and they were filled with questions. In order to deal with the two of them, they also eased everyone's embarrassment.
