"Alright, I'm going to find a man, why are you coming with me?" Li Wanqing comforted her.

"I'll stay with you. I'll come back with you after I've sorted things out over there."

He Mei was very worried. Cheng Baichuan was gone, and Wan Qing had fallen out with the Cheng family again.

What if Wanqing does something rash when we get there...?

He Mei dared not think about it; the more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

"No, I'll go talk to the captain again. If it comes to it, I won't take my family visit leave next time."

He turned to leave, but was stopped by Li Wanqing.

"My dear girl! Please stop making trouble."

Li Wanqing looked outside and, seeing that no one was around, whispered, "I probably won't be coming back after this."

He Mei's eyes widened. "You want to escape?"

Li Wanqing: ...That's a very bold idea, let's not think about it.

"No, I'm telling you, Nuonuo's dad won't die. I'll probably end up joining the army once I get there."

“Once the college entrance exam is reinstated, and you take the exam to return to Sichuan Province, we can be together again.”

Li Wanqing originally thought that He Mei would be relieved after she said that.

When I looked up, I was met with an even more sympathetic gaze.

"Wanqing, I know you're very sad, but you have to keep looking forward."

“I promise I won’t go with you, but you must bring Nuonuo back.”

"We'll go to university together and raise Nuonuo together."

Li Wanqing: ......

When did she establish herself as a deeply affectionate, love-obsessed person?

Never mind, I'll just give her this letter when she sees Cheng Baichuan.

"Are you willing to give up your Lu Wei?"

Compared to her, He Mei is more like someone obsessed with love!

Last time I went to the city, I said I was disappointed in Lu Wei.

As a result, the man caught up with the group, and the girl softened.

He Mei frowned slightly, then said without hesitation, "He's nowhere near as important as you and Nuonuo!"

“You said it yourself!” Li Wanqing quickly interjected, “If you continue to be with him, I will break off all ties with you, along with Nuonuo.”

She originally didn't intend to interfere in He Mei's relationship, but the girl was too honest.

She still couldn't stand idly by!

"You can't be telling the truth, can you?" He Mei found it unbelievable.

It's just dating, right?

How did things escalate to the point of breaking off all contact?

Li Wanqing had a stern face and looked quite serious.

He Mei: "...Okay! I promise I'll break up with him."

Li Wanqing still looked distrustful. "You keep your word. I'll have Zhou Zhiqing supervise you."

Zhou Weifeng: ...I'm just a guest, why am I being assigned tasks?

He Mei glanced at Zhou Weifeng, feeling as if Sun Wukong couldn't escape the Five Finger Mountain.

She is Sun Wukong, and Zhou Weifeng is the heavy, unyielding Five Finger Mountain.

Thinking of the 500 years Sun Wukong spent under the Five Fingers Mountain, He Mei finally let go of Lu Wei.

Li Wanqing handed Nuonuo over to He Mei for care, and then went to the clinic.

She took some of each of the commonly used travel medications, such as cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, and motion sickness medicine.

Meng Renjie also learned about Cheng Baichuan's matter.

Not being good with words, he didn't say anything to comfort him, but simply took out two letters.

"One of these two people is the most outstanding pediatrician at the Sichuan Provincial Hospital, and the other is the director of a military hospital."

Meng Renjie didn't say it explicitly, but Li Wanqing understood what he meant.

If we go to Sichuan Province and the person dies, then we should take the child to the provincial hospital for a thorough check-up.

If the person is still alive, then our military hospital also has people available.

Don't be afraid no matter what happens!

Li Wanqing was grateful, even though she hadn't had much interaction with Meng Renjie.

She always thought the other person was quiet and reserved, and assumed they were disgusted by her.

I never expected him to consider things so carefully for her.

"Dr. Meng, everything will pass, and soon," Li Wanqing said meaningfully.

She knew that Meng Renjie had no choice but to go to the countryside, and that his wife and children had cut off all ties with him.

If I hadn't worked at the health clinic in Renxing Brigade, I probably wouldn't have been able to get through the psychological trauma.

Meng Renjie raised an eyebrow slightly. "You should worry about yourself. Goodbye."

Li Wanqing: ...I can't be sentimental at all.

After leaving the clinic, Li Wanqing went to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction, and then went directly back to the educated youth settlement.

At this point, it would be too late to catch the bus to the provincial capital if she went to the county town, so Li Wanqing decided to leave early the next morning.

Everyone at the educated youth settlement knew that Li Wanqing was leaving, and they all contributed some things for her, no matter how little they had.

They have money and food.

When traveling, especially for such an important event, it's best to bring as much as you can.

However, Li Wanqing did not accept the money. Everyone was struggling financially, and she was actually not short of money right now.

Li Wanqing handed the "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" to Zhou Weifeng, emphasizing once again the importance of knowledge.

She probably won't be coming back after she leaves. She hopes that these young educated youth can all realize their ideals one day.

Li Wanqing also packed up the rest of the house's belongings and handed them over to He Mei.

We'll have her send it over after she's settled in.

People from the brigade also brought food over; they were uncles and aunts who had watched Cheng Baichuan grow up, or young men who had followed him around since childhood.

Li Wanqing didn't accept it. Not to mention that she couldn't take it, even if she could, she had a child with her.

If there are too many of these things, it will definitely distract you, and that could be dangerous.

They wouldn't accept anything or money, so everyone pooled together some coupons, which the brigade leader gave to Li Wanqing.

"These are all kind gestures from everyone. It's good to have a good trip even if you're poor. Please accept them for now, and you can return them to everyone when you get back."

Since Zhang Jianguo had said that, Li Wanqing did not refuse his kindness.

These outsiders can do this much, but the Cheng family, who are blood relatives, hasn't made a move at all.

But this is for the best; it's a clean break to avoid future entanglements.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Wanqing got up with her daughter.

Although Zhang Jianguo disagreed with He Mei and Zhou Weifeng sending her to the military region, he agreed to let them send the mother and daughter to the provincial capital.

The three people, along with a child, arrived in the county town covered in morning dew and boarded the earliest bus to the provincial capital.

Upon arriving in the provincial capital, Li Wanqing went straight to the train station and bought two train tickets to Sichuan Province.

A single ticket costs 14.6 yuan, so two tickets would cost 29.2 yuan. (I couldn't find the ticket price; the little tomatoes (fans) all said the original price was too expensive, so it's been adjusted. Thanks to the little tomatoes for reminding me.)

Originally, Nuonuo didn't need a ticket, but it's not easy taking care of a child alone. So I decided to buy an extra ticket to avoid the discomfort and safety of being squeezed in the crowd.

He Mei held Nuonuo tightly, reluctant to let go, while Li Wanqing looked helpless.

"Alright, the train is about to leave, we need to get into the station."

He Mei's lips drooped, and she continued to instruct him with concern, "No matter what happens, you have to hold on."

“You still have Nuonuo, and you have us. The educated youth settlement will always be your home.”

Li Wanqing's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded, "I understand, if we don't go in now we'll miss the train."

He Mei reluctantly let go of her hand.

Li Wanqing got into the car with her daughter, put away their luggage, and sat down before letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

Outside a ward at a military hospital, Regiment Commander Yu looked completely bewildered.

Cheng Baichuan, that brat, thought that movement was a final burst of energy before death, but it turns out he really woke up.

"Commander, should we notify Battalion Commander Cheng's family again?" asked Xiao Wu, the orderly.

Commander Yu thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, by now everyone's probably already on the train. Let's wait until they arrive before we talk about it."

No matter what, this is a really great thing... isn't it?
