Sun Yafei was carrying a large bag and a small bag. Her hat was crooked, her clothes were messed up, and her shoes were full of footprints. It was unclear what she had experienced along the way.

"Oh my god, this is like running away." Wang Hong took the things in her hand, pulled the person and walked towards the village.

Sun Yafei smiled happily, but her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke: "I have family leave this year, and I want to go back to the brigade before returning to Shanghai."

"You didn't drink water along the way?" Wang Hong looked at her doubtfully.

Sun Yafei nodded: "There are too many people on the road. The key is... the kettle is frozen."

As she spoke, she shook the kettle she was carrying without making any sound.

"I've been out for a year and I still don't have any good intentions." Wang Hong rolled her eyes in anger, dragged Sun Yafei into the educated youth center, and shouted, "Come out and help me."

"Come on!"

Lin Nianhe ran out quickly.

"Ya Fei?" Lin Nianhe's eyes lit up.

"Sister Nianhe." Sun Yafei smiled even brighter, and she didn't feel any pain even though the chapped lips were bleeding.

Wang Hong saw Lin Nianhe coming out and rolled her eyes helplessly: "Okay, I'd better get it myself."

"Aunt Wang, what's the difference between what you said and pointing at my nose and calling me trash." Lin Nianhe reached out and took a small bag, "It's so sad."

Wang Hong: "The difference is that I didn't point my finger at you and call you trash."

People come and go in the educated youth area, but now there is an empty room in the female educated youth dormitory, where Wen Qingqing and Wen Ruanruan lived before.

Wang Hong put down Sun Yafei's luggage and asked Lin Nianhe, "Where are the others? Why are you here alone?"

"Sister Shumei went home to help her sister-in-law work. Sister Xue and Tie Chui heard that there were apples in the supply and marketing cooperative today and went to buy apples." Lin Nianhe said, "Xie Yufei is sleeping."

"How is he sleeping now?" Wang Hong couldn't help but feel disgusted and sighed, "It's really because no one cares about it, it's all based on your own happiness."

"That's right, it's too much. Aunt Wang, please whip him later."

Lin Nianhe poured a glass of warm water for Sun Yafei and asked her: "Yafei, when are you going to return to Shanghai? Have you bought the ticket?"

Sun Yafei smiled heartlessly: "I got off the car just now and asked, but there are no tickets for the past two days."

Wang Hong: "Then you can still laugh."

Sun Yafei said: "I just called my parents at the post office. They said everything at home is fine. My father has also been assigned to work. Although it is harder, it is still much better than before... So even if I go back a few days later, , it doesn’t matter to me either.”

Wang Hong looked at her like she was a fool: "Do you think you can get tickets in the next few days?"

"Ah? Can't you?"

Sun Yafei's eyes sparkled with clear stupidity.

This is not her fault, but she has never traveled far by herself - before going out, her parents always made arrangements. When she went to Shili Brigade, she followed the arrangements, and the same was true for Beidahuang. She didn't have family leave last year.

This year's trip is her first real trip on her own.

Wang Hong said to Lin Nianhe: "Go, call Lao Wang and ask him to get a ticket, and I'll get some food for Yafei."

"okay."

Lin Nianhe went to the brigade headquarters to make a call, while Wang Hong took Sun Yafei back home and cooked her a bowl of noodles and two poached eggs.

Wang Huanhuan and Wang Lele had not seen Sun Yafei for a long time and were chattering around her. Sun Yafei hugged them both and took out the pencil case he bought for them, making the two little girls happy.

"Just spoil them both." Wang Hong brought the noodles to her and added a piece of fermented bean curd.

"Thank you Aunt Wang." Sun Yafei smiled with two dimples and crooked eyes. She was much happier than when she first came to Shili Brigade.Wang Hong sat by the kang and watched her eat, her brows frowning even more.

Sun Yafei took two bites and noticed Wang Hong's eyes. She touched her face uncomfortably and asked, "Aunt Wang, what's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing," Wang Hong wiped her eyes, "I see you've lost weight."

Sun Yafei not only lost weight, but also got darker. Her face was red and bloodshot, and she still looked like the cute little girl she once was.

"Hehe." Sun Yafei could only smile and lowered her head to eat the noodles. The hot air fell on her eyelashes, covering up the tears in her eyes.

Wang Hong looked at her and waited until she finished eating the noodles before taking her hand.

A layer of calluses fell on the previously white palms, which stung a bit to the touch.

"are you tired?"

"Well... I'm a little tired."

"Are you being bullied outside?"

"No, our squad leader..."

Sun Yafei paused.

She has a new squad leader, and the new squad leader is also very good, gentler than Guan Manling.

But she still misses Sister Manling.

Wang Hong thought she was being bullied and was about to ask more questions when Lin Nianhe came in.

"Hiss...it's so cold," she rubbed her hands, trotted to the kang, and put her hands on the hot kang head before continuing, "Uncle Wang said there is a train to Shanghai the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, and it will be the last one before the year. He tried to find a way to get tickets so that we don’t have to worry about it, we can just go to him and get the tickets before we leave.”

"That's okay." Wang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "You guys stay at home, I'll go tell them that Yafei is back - I haven't eaten less of your food in the past year, at least take a look."

Wang Hong never drags her feet when doing things, and leaves as soon as she says it.

After she left, Sun Yafei asked in a low voice: "Sister Nianhe, how is Sister Manling doing now?"

"I just called her last week," Lin Nianhe said. "The current situation is good, but winter is always a bit difficult. She always coughs and can't sleep well."

Sun Yafei sighed and said: "When Shen Tuan told us before, everyone couldn't believe it. Later we donated money, but we didn't know if they would have enough."

"How about we call them?" Lin Nianhe said, "Sister Manling said last week that they were going to be discharged from the hospital and go home for the New Year."

"Is that okay?" Sun Yafei's eyes lit up.

"Let's go, the captain is not here today, no one will care about us."

Lin Nianhe pulled Sun Yafei out of the door.

However, the two of them had just emerged and bumped into the villagers who came to see Sun Yafei before they left the yard.

Lin Nianhe: "Let's wait a while, it will probably be tomorrow at the earliest."

Sun Yafei is worried about Guan Manling, but she doesn't feel impatient - she misses the folks too.

Sun Yafei brought back a lot of things for everyone, but the types were a bit monotonous. This was actually because transportation was inconvenient in winter. The supply and marketing cooperative in Beidahuang ran out of goods from time to time. Occasionally, they were available, and the types were also very monotonous.

She couldn't buy anything else if she wanted to.

Because Sun Yafei came back, the already lively Shili Brigade became even more lively. Sun Yafei had not eaten at the same place in the past few days.

She finally got on the phone with Guan Manling the next day. Although Guan Manling's voice was hoarse on the other end of the phone, she was in good spirits. When she heard that Sun Yafei was on family leave, she specifically asked her to greet her two elders for her.
