At around 3 p.m. on the third day of the Chinese New Year, Song Lan and his group returned to the machinery factory's staff quarters.

"Are you really confident that I can take Dabao and Erbao back to the village to raise them?"

Li Jumei asked Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng.

"What's there to worry about?!"

Song Lan said, "We have acquaintances all over the village, and there are many children. Dabao and Erbao will definitely have a lot of fun in the village. Qin Yanzheng and I will go back to the village every weekend. I think Dabao and Erbao will get used to living in the village soon."

"Mom, Lanlan said exactly what I wanted to say."

Qin Yanzheng interjected at this time.

"By the way, Mom, I want Aunt Liu to go to the village in a couple of days, what do you think..."

Song Lan didn't say anything else.

"No need!"

Li Jumei said: "Dabao and Erbao are good children. I, your father, and your grandparents are at home, so we can take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe and Mr. and Mrs. Chen nodded in agreement with what Li Jumei said.

"Mom, my grandparents are old after all. What they need is health care, not taking care of our children."

Song Lan smiled and said, "Besides, my dad is the accountant of the village. He doesn't seem very busy every day, but as a public servant, he has to fulfill his duties. How can he stay at home with you to take care of Dabao and Erbao?"

"This……"

Li Jumei said nothing for a long while.

"Mom, just listen to Lan Lan. Besides, Dabao and Erbao have always been taken care of by you and Aunt Liu. With her around, you can get away if anything happens to you."

Qin Yanzheng helps Song Lan.

Li Jumei looked at Song Sanhe, and seeing Song Sanhe nodding at her, she could only agree with Song Lan's words.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is May Day.

Due to the fact that they couldn't hold a grand wedding, Qin Yaqing and Zhou Shiyang's wedding was not grand, but it was decent and not shabby at all.

The wedding venue is naturally in Beijing.

As brother and sister-in-law, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng were undoubtedly present.

It should be said that before getting married, Qin Yaqing transferred her job to Qin Yaxin. As for Qin Yaxin's studies, she passed the academic assessment and got her graduation certificate two months in advance.

In other words, Qin Yaxin took over Qin Yaqing's job.

About a week after the marriage, Qin Yaqing left her family and followed Zhou Shiyang to join the army.

It was a weekend, and Song Lan went to Shisong Village to visit Dabao and Erbao. Of course, she also visited Grandpa Xiao's family and Mr. Shen's family.

However, she didn't expect that when she arrived at the thatched cottage where the Xiao family lived, she heard great news.

It turned out that a car came from Beijing to pick up Mr. Xiao and his family. Coincidentally, there were two other cars coming to pick up Mr. Shen and Mr. Li.

"You...will you return to Beijing?"

Xiao Yu and Song Lan stood face to face under a sturdy willow tree about 20 to 30 meters away from the Xiao family's thatched cottage. Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Song Lan smiled and replied, "Yes."

"Then we'll see you in Beijing."

There is no doubt that Xiao Yu was saying goodbye to Song Lan.

"it is good."

Song Lan nodded, and then said: "Take care!"

"You too."

Xiao Yu suppressed all his feelings for Song Lan deep in his heart. He knew... he knew that on the day he came into this world and met Song Lan, just like in his previous life, he and she missed each other again and had no chance to be together for the rest of their lives.

But then again, compared to his previous life, he is actually satisfied in this life.

Although we are not destined to be together, we can still be friends openly and watch over the happiness of the person we admire.

So, he didn't feel any regrets.

After saying goodbye to Qin Yanzheng, Song Lan walked towards the thatched hut where Mr. Shen and his companions lived.

"Teacher Shen, Teacher Li... Hello!"

As soon as she saw Mr. Shen and Mr. Li, Song Lan immediately greeted them one by one, and then she said, "I have heard from Grandpa Xiao and the others that Teacher Shen and Teacher Li will be leaving here today. I am here to congratulate the two teachers!"

Shen Lanxuan and Li Guoliang were all smiles. They exchanged a few words with Song Lan, and then chatted with the other three old men who lived in the same room with them. Then they got into the car with the people who came to pick them up. Song Lan smiled through the open car window, waved his hand and said, "Teacher Shen, Teacher Li, take care of yourselves. Remember to call me when you have settled down in Beijing."

After receiving responses from Mr. Shen and Mr. Li, Song Lan watched the car the two were in drive away. She withdrew her gaze and walked towards the Xiao family with the three teachers who had also taught her a lot of knowledge and accepted her as their closed disciples.

At this moment, everyone in the Xiao family had already gotten in the car and was seated.

"Old Xiao, take care!"

The three old men who came with Song Lan waved to Mr. Xiao who was sitting in the car. Song Lan did not say anything, but he raised his hand in the same gesture as the three old men, bidding farewell to Mr. Xiao and his family.

“I don’t know when we can leave here.”

After the car that came to pick up Mr. Xiao and his family drove away, one of the three old men who were still standing with Song Lan couldn't help but say something.

"Teachers, rest assured, I believe you will all be picked up in the near future, return to your homes, and return to your original jobs."

Song Lan's voice made the three old men feel extremely relieved. They believed what Song Lan said and believed that in the near future, they would be able to leave Shisong Village, return to their jobs that they were good at, and continue to contribute to the country.

Yes, no matter whether it is these three old men, or Mr. Shen, Mr. Li, and Mr. Xiao's family, none of them is dissatisfied with physical work such as farming and carrying manure. They just think that doing physical work in areas they are not good at is a waste of time and prevents them from making greater contributions to the country.

"Then we will take advantage of Lanlan's good wishes and work here while waiting for the organization to arrange for someone to come over."

"Yes, let's just wait patiently. After all, Lao Xiao, Lao Shen, Lao Li and others have been picked up. Moreover, from last year to now, we have heard that other nearby brigades are in similar situations as us, and many of them have also been picked up."

The only one of the three elders who hadn't spoken turned to Song Lan and said in a low voice, "Lan Lan, judging from the current situation, it won't be long before the college entrance examination... Do you understand what the teacher means?"

"clear."

Song Lan nodded and said, "I will be fully prepared."

"That's good, that's good!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

The other two old men also looked pleased.

After Song Lan left, the three old men returned to the thatched hut where they lived.

"Lanlan is a genius. In my opinion, she doesn't need to make any preparations at all and will be able to shine in the college entrance examination."

“That being said, it never hurts to be prepared.”

"If you ask me, with Lanlan's current knowledge, it won't be a problem for her to teach at a university."

……

Song Lan walked all the way back to the Song family. When she entered the house, she saw Song Qingbin and his family of three also returned. She smiled instantly, walked up to greet Song Qingbin and his wife, and gently rubbed the head of her nephew who was held in Feng Yuanyuan's arms. Then, she told Song Qingbin and his wife about the college entrance examination, and finally, she reminded them:
