Yu Wanqing got up at three o'clock in the morning, and had just finished packing when Li Xiulan knocked on the door: "Xiao Wu, are you up?"
The door to the room opened and she faced her daughter's smiling face. She held back the reluctance in her heart and patted her on the shoulder: "Go have breakfast first. Your father and I will take you to the train station later."
Because of the matter with the second child and because of her daughter's five o'clock train, she and Lao Yu couldn't sleep all night. They got up early to make pancakes and boiled eggs for the child to eat on the way.
Under the dim light, the family of three was eating breakfast. The scene looked beautiful and warm. Only they knew that the separation was coming. They felt so much reluctance in their hearts, but they didn't dare to express it at all.
"You pack lightly and go to Guangdong Province. Your third brother will send you the rest."
Father Yu asked the steel factory to borrow a car to take her to the train station. In the car, Li Xiulan was still chattering, and kept telling her daughter to protect herself, and to write letters or send telegrams to her family if she was short of money.
Faced with her parents' earnest advice, Yu Wanqing listened patiently and responded one by one.
"You are usually very generous to the children in the family home, but you can't be like this when you go to the countryside. Sometimes a piece of candy can cause trouble." She held her daughter's hand tightly: "If you have something delicious, you can hide it and eat it." , Don’t reveal your money to anyone, and don’t tell anyone about your family affairs.”
"There is no shortage of evil-minded people in this world, so you should keep seven points when dealing with others. These seven points are your protection for yourself."
My daughter is good at fighting in the family home, and she has a bit of a fierce temper, but she is kind-hearted and is afraid of being taken advantage of.
Father Yu looked at the mother and daughter in the back seat: "Xiao Wu, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, and we are not afraid of trouble."
"As long as you are the one taking charge, you are not afraid, do you understand?"
"There is a letter in the bag your mother gave you, as well as a name and address. It is in Nanfu County. If you encounter trouble, go to this person and he will help you."
That was his old comrade-in-arms, whom he had a life-long friendship with. He had been in contact with her all these years, but he never thought that his daughter would actually go to the countryside where he was.
This can be considered a layer of protection.
Yu Wanqing nodded: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I've remembered everything."
As for the person Dad mentioned, if you can't help but look for it, don't look for it.
"Now that it's hot, I don't have to put things away, so I don't do much. It takes three days to get from Shangyang City to Guangdong City. It takes more than ten hours from Guangdong City to Nanfuxian County by train. If you are hungry, just buy food on the train. Eat." After saying that, he took out a palm-sized cloth bag and gave it to his daughter: "There is money and various national tickets in it, which can be used no matter where."
National tickets are difficult to buy and exchange. My parents must have bothered and owed a lot of favors to this. At this moment, Yu Wanqing felt that this light money bag was as heavy as a thousand catties.
This is the love a parent has for their child.
In Yu Wanqing's backpack, in addition to a few sets of clothes, daily necessities and a set of thin bedding, the rest will be delivered to her by mail. She was also carrying a military green cross-body bag in front of her, which contained money and various tickets.
Of course, the only items in her bag were a few dimes and two food stamps, and the rest had long been moved to the supermarket space.
Yu Wanqing carried her bag and said a few words to her parents before the train arrived. She could only wave goodbye to her reluctant parents: "Mom and Dad, go back quickly. I will send a telegram when I get there to report that you are safe."
"I will also take care of myself. Don't worry too much. I am a student taught by Comrade Yu himself. I will not disappoint you."
Father Yu patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Go ahead, your parents will just take a look at you."
Just watching you leave from a distance.
My little eagle will also learn to grow up and start to fly away from its parents. Maybe it will fly further and further away in the future.
Li Xiulan looked at the children who were squeezing onto the train with the crowd. Her eyes were red and her voice was choked: "Old Yu, I can't bear to leave Xiaowu."
A few years ago, I sent my fourth son to join the army, but the boy left and never came back for many years.
Today I am sending my daughter to the countryside again. Will I really be able to bring her back to the city in half a year?
She wasn't sure.
Father Yu looked at his wife: "Don't think our Xiaowu is a girl. She can defeat several strong men by herself."
Her daughter was not as smooth as his wife thought. He believed that the child would be able to take good care of herself.
If it doesn't work, and he is a father, for the sake of his daughter, some relationships can't be used.
Yu Wanqing got on the train and quickly found her seat, a double seat, right by the window. Looking out from here, she could see her parents. She waved to them: "Mom, Dad, go back quickly."
The moment Li Xiulan saw her daughter, she couldn't help but rushed over and kept squeezing in. Father Yu followed behind to protect his wife, and finally allowed them to squeeze in front of her daughter before the train started.

She held her daughter's hand and cried, wanting to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could not say anything except crying.
Two people who did not cry when they were young on the battlefield carrying guns and facing powerful enemies, when they were injured, when they were surrounded and almost died, now they both shed tears when they faced their daughter who was about to leave their side.
Yu Wanqing also felt very uncomfortable. She had not received love from her father and mother before. She felt that it was just like that, and this thing was not necessary.
She didn't, Yu Li didn't, and Yu Xin didn't, so the three children without the love of their parents could still hug each other for warmth, and they didn't feel like they were missing anything.
But here, in an era of scarcity, she met a pair of parents who loved their daughter.
After spending a few days together, they made her understand what preference was. At the moment of separation, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mom and Dad." She held Comrade Li Xiulan's hand tightly: "I will take care of myself, and you should also take care of yourselves. Be careful when you go back."
There were too many people around and the cries were so loud that they struggled to say a word.
The train started slowly, and Yu Wanqing had to let go of Li Xiulan's hand. She saw her parents running after the train, and there were many people around. She was worried that there would be a stampede, and shouted to them: "Dad, stop chasing, hurry up and take the train with you." My mother, go back."
Yu's father seemed not to have heard anything, and kept moving forward while protecting his wife.
At this moment, he seemed to see his toddler daughter, and he cautiously followed behind her.
In a blink of an eye, the children have grown up and are leaving their parents.
Yu Wanqing kept looking back until she could see nothing, then she sat down and calmed down.
She felt her cheeks were wet, and when she touched them she realized that she was actually crying.
This should be the emotions left over from the original body affecting her, otherwise she wouldn't cry.
If sisters Yu Li were still here, they would probably feel that they were being hypocritical.
At this moment, a soft hum came from the other side: "What's there to cry about? We responded to the call and went to the vast countryside to shine. Don't you think that going to the mountains and countryside is wronging you?"
Yu Wanqing looked over and saw a girl wearing a brand new braji sitting opposite her. She had fair skin, delicate features, and could not hide the arrogance between her eyebrows.
Yu Wanqing immediately concluded that this lesbian was a girl who looked at people with dog eyes.
She glanced at the other person and said, "Eat less salt. I'll see if you have time to spare."
