Five months later, Lin Yan received a letter from Dongli Dynasty. Xie Yi's performance far exceeded expectations.
After seeing it, she smiled and didn't take it to heart. There were Lan Yue and the others over there, and many knowledgeable people gathered in the Dongli Dynasty, so she didn't need to worry too much.
There are still more than two months left, and the year has passed.
The progress of the automobile project has come to an end, and Lin Yan often visits the equipment institute and various processing plants to urge the progress.
She had no choice. With Ye Cong around, she only had to check the progress from time to time, but more than a month ago, Ye Cong's life came to an end.
Ye Cong lost a close relative and needed to spend more time at home. Since the death of Ye Zi, Mu Shi's health has been deteriorating and he is now paralyzed in bed, reaching the end of his life.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel sad and hurt. The elders who watched them grow up finally left one by one.
In the past, Huahong and Yezi were a pair of enviable sisters. They lived next to each other until they grew old, helping each other until their children grew up, and they lived a comfortable life.
Lin Yan couldn't help but think of his old neighbor Lao Hei on Eighth Street in the old city. He also went there last year. He left behind his adopted son Hei Yao, who was in his twenties and had not inherited Lao Hei's craftsmanship. He could only hire people to take care of the family factory. He himself was prospering in the military and was already a captain.
Although Obsidian is low-key, he has a high net worth and inherited a large inheritance. He is a golden son-in-law in the eyes of many women in Sun City.
A happy event also happened this year. Wen Xue and Shen Jiarui's twins were born in June. Their elder brother Shen Shengwen and younger sister Wen Yun.
There were so many people going to celebrate at the full moon banquet. Lin Yan remembered that his face was frozen with laughter. People from all walks of life came to congratulate.
Wen Xue has persisted in the field of medicine over the years, made outstanding contributions, and has a wide network of contacts. With her husbands Shen Jiarui and Shen Tianlin here, people from all walks of life are bound to come to congratulate her.
As the next generation continues to be born, everyone is getting better and better, and Lin Yan is happy from the bottom of his heart.
Life is like this, all kinds of joys and sorrows are intertwined, and life has to go on as usual.
For a moment, her mind wandered and she thought a little too much. Lin Yan came back to her senses. At this time, she couldn't continue to squeeze Ye Cong. It seemed too inhumane, so she had to do it herself.
She sincerely prayed that Mu Shi could last longer and not let Ye Cong lose the two most important relatives in his life in just a few months.
She has experienced this kind of pain firsthand and doesn't want her friends to endure it.
However, heaven always does not follow people's wishes. At the beginning of November, Mu Shi passed away and closed his eyes forever.
Lin Yan naturally wanted to be there to help. Ye Zi and Mu Shi were also her elders, neighbors for many years, and had taken good care of her over the years. No matter how busy she is, she must be there.
Ye Cong had made all kinds of preparations a long time ago. The funeral was simple and the wood and stone were laid to rest in three days. At this point, Lin Yan no longer had any close elders.
Lin Yan stood with Ye Cong in front of the grave for a long time, accompanying him silently.
"Go back." Ye Cong's voice was hoarse and low. He looked very depressed. His short hair was messy and his clothes were wrinkled. He had lost weight rapidly in recent months.
Lin Yan stepped forward and hugged him, "Everything will pass."
Ye Cong unconsciously reached out and hugged her tightly. He was so fragile at this time that it was hard to bear to refuse.
From now on, they are the closest people to each other. They have no blood-related brothers and sisters, only partners who have grown up together.
After a few minutes, Lin Yan said, "Let's go home."
Ye Cong slowly let go of her, and the two walked side by side.
In the next half month, Lin Yan consciously supervised the progress of the car project, waiting for Ye Cong to get over his grief and get back to work.
However, after waiting for nearly ten days, Ye Cong appeared, but he was not here to take over the job.
Lin Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, "I didn't hear clearly what you just said."
"I want to go for a walk, drop everything and travel far." Ye Cong's eyes were calm and very calm.
He seemed to have been reborn. After losing his parents, he grew up instantly and became much calmer and more reserved.
Lin Yan stared at him for several minutes, and the two were in a stalemate, but this time Ye Cong did not compromise, he persisted to the end.
Having no choice but to lose, Lin Yan sighed, "Do you really want to leave at this time? Where are you going? It's freezing and snowy outside, so it's not suitable to go out."
Ye Cong didn't just have a sudden idea, he made detailed plans.
The weather will get warmer in a month, so he sets off now, heading south along Yunhai Road, with his destination being Nanhai Port City.
Nanhai Port City completed a feat this year and built the Sun Alliance's first 500-ton navigation cruise ship, Sun One.
This is exactly Ye Cong's goal. He wants to explore the vast ocean with the cruise ship, cross the ocean, and go to a wider world.
After hearing his plan, Lin Yan was really impressed. She was also very excited about this arrangement.
Ye Cong was so good at choosing the right time to relax and take on the sailing mission at this time, and she had to agree.
Many people are eyeing Sun One, planning to set sail next year.
They had considered candidates several times before, but had yet to make a decision. Ye Cong jumped out at this time, and he was indeed a good candidate.
He is a veteran of the alliance, has sufficient influence, and is also the minister of foreign affairs. It is very suitable for him to represent the Sun Alliance on a voyage.
That's what he was thinking, but Lin Yan still wanted to stay, "Do you have to go? You know that there are a lot of things to do. What will happen if you leave?"
"The population is increasing year by year, the new generation has grown up, and there are many people available. It doesn't have to be me."
Ye Cong has made up his mind, "Stop trying to persuade me, I have made up my mind. Going on a long voyage is also to contribute to the alliance, not to give up."
"Well, I hope you have a good trip."
Lin Yan finally said: "Don't go too long, we are all waiting for you to come home."
Ye Cong looked at her deeply and nodded silently, "I will definitely come back."
He has everything here, and no matter how nice the outside is, it can't be as good as home.
He just needs time to relieve the long-standing depression in his heart, change places and look at the vast world outside, everything will be fine.
When Ye Cong left, Lin Yan, Shui Sheng and other friends in Sun City all went to say goodbye. They didn't know when they would be back after leaving, and everyone was very sad to say goodbye.
But this is Ye Cong's decision, and they support it unconditionally.
Shui Sheng warned: "Don't be dazzled by the colorful world outside. You are too happy to miss Shu. The Sun No. 1 is handed over to you. Remember to take everyone on board home. Take care along the way."
Everyone said goodbye to Ye Cong one by one. At this time, Ye Cong's heart inevitably had ups and downs.
The reluctance and nostalgia are particularly obvious.
Lin Yan stepped forward and hugged Ye Cong. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he only said: "I'll keep an eye on you at home, take care of yourself."
Ye Cong nodded heavily, reluctantly let go of her, looked at each one, waved goodbye, and got into the carriage.
He originally wanted to go on the road alone, but his companions repeatedly asked him to take guards with him.
Finally, he agreed to take two guards with him.
