Lin Yufen boarded the train heading back to the capital, still filled with emotions, "It’s truly unexpected; people we barely t back in the day not only warned us of dangers but beca our junior sister. She deserves credit for tolerating all these years without contacting us."
Isn’t it too surprising? The term "sa school" sounds so intimate, like family.
"When we et our junior sister, I must talk to her. If she had news of the teacher, why didn’t she write a letter to tell us? I’ve been on edge all these years, fearing to hear bad news about the teacher." Back then, failing to persuade the teacher and senior brothers and sisters to leave the capital gradually beca Lou Shaonong’s instilled concern, often waking up from nightmares at midnight.
Lin Yufen smiled slightly, "We changed nas and hid, so frequent contact could arouse suspicion, right? I think the reason the little sister didn’t write us originally was this. Thankfully, after enduring over a decade, our teacher-student pair is now safe and can et, which is a great joy; this great joy cos not late! With the teacher moving back to the old place, we must not show up empty-handed. Once we get off the train, we’ll buy so things; little sister thoughtfully included many military grain tickets and various capital permits in the letter, along with so money."
Lou Shaonong nodded in agreent, "The teacher enjoyed dressing up when they were young; I reckon they’ll never change even in old age. Let’s buy so good fabric to make clothes and shoes for the teacher, as well as so stationery and various paints."
"We’ll buy so food too; we must first visit the teacher at the little sister’s house. Xibao must have younger siblings by now." Lin Yufen had a deep impression of Xibao, "How ti flies; the chubby baby from more than ten years ago must have grown into a young lad by now, while you and I, weathered by ti, with deeper wrinkles, not as we were."
The fierce wind and frost of the mountain village was harsh on people’s appearance; Wen Ruyu almost failed to recognize the couple at first glance.
"Oh, my, Little Liuzi, what’s happened to you? Your face is like old orange peel, hair and eyebrows turned white, you’re darker and thinner, looking even older than by ten years."
Seeing the teacher’s glowing face full of vitality, even Lou Shaonong was in disbelief.
"Teacher, have you rejuvenated? You look younger than ten years ago."
Wen Ruyu stroked his own old face, "Indeed, Cui Shaoyuan has arranged things well; your little sister takes good care of . Over these years, I’ve been well-clothed and well-fed, with skin glowing in health. Isn’t that rejuvenation? Now that you’ve returned, you must take good care of yourselves so people don’t mistake you for my teacher when you walk outside."
Lou Shaonong respectfully said, "Don’t worry, once we reclaim our house, we’ll first nourish ourselves, giving teacher so face."
After they left, their house was surely taken over by the state, so their priority was to seek the governnt to reclaim it, especially since they had legal docunts. Years of living under alias couldn’t make their house not theirs.
Wen Ruyu waved his hand, "You can get it back, just ask Cui Shaoyuan to give you a call. Enough talk, let’s head to my house. Though tomorrow is Labor Day, as hosts, we must organize the process of welcoming guests well, lest the old folks say we’ve lost our manners after ten years of hardship."
Under a master’s order, no disciple would defy.
Lu Jiang’s father and Cheng Baoguo’s couple joined the fun, whereas Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had work commitnts and couldn’t go earlier, only joining the next day to help, bringing the children along in the afternoon.
By evening, those invited by Wen Ruyu arrived one after the other.
