Shuzhen and the others had only just gotten warmed up for two days when they sent off Wei Lai, Wu Hao, and Feng Anhuai, who were hastily departing for their new posts.
They came empty-handed, possessing barely any material wealth, yet when they left, they carried large bags filled with everyone's blessings and concerns.
In the name of the Liu Family Village Production Brigade, all the members contributed one set of brand-new bedding for each person. Wu Yinghong and Su Hongying, the sisters-in-law, made three sets of new Zhongshan suits, and Lian Yue crafted thousand-layer cloth shoes. Lian Hai and his wife gave a generous amount of hazelnuts, pine nuts, mushrooms, and black fungus, saying those were local specialties for them to enjoy after returning or to give as a gesture of kindness to others.
