Yi Roujing and her group returned to the Dingping Production Team on the sixth day of the lunar new year. They stayed with her family for five days, sleeping there for four nights, discussing all that needed to be discussed, expressing endless thoughts, and feeling reluctant to part, but they still had to leave.
Since Xu Ancheng's family planned to go to Hong Kong after the New Year, they had already decided on their return time to Jing City when they arrived; the train was scheduled for the morning of the eighth. Ding Xingye, Shu Yujie, and Ding Anmin's families were traveling together to return.
Ding Xiaoding and Huang Kaiying happily packed a lot of things for their son and future daughter-in-law to take back, mostly homemade sun-dried vegetables and pickled preserved vegetables. In the middle of winter, when there weren't many fresh vegetables available, these foods offered a taste of novelty.
