After the second half of 1968, the vigorous and special period began to enter a period of relative cooling. With a wave of his hand, millions of young people devoted themselves to a campaign called "Intellectual Youth Goes to the Mountains and Countryside". All the 66, 67, and 68 high school graduates belong to the category of intellectual youth who should go to the Mountains and Countryside. The busiest one is the staff of the neighborhood committees of each street. First, they must handle household registration transfer procedures with the police from the police station, and then persuade some young people who are unwilling to leave the city to obey the arrangements of the Party and the great leaders, and make suggestions for their future directions, etc.

The two girls in the Wu family do not need to be mobilized by the neighborhood committee. Originally, if the children in the family are all educated youth of appropriate age, there will be certain preferential treatment in terms of policies. Simply put, one child can stay in a relatively close area in the city so that when something happens at the parents' home, he will take care of him nearby. However, such a policy is not applicable to the Wu sisters. The two young girls sign up as soon as possible and go to the place where the motherland needs the most! After choosing, one went to a village under the jurisdiction of Gutong (Liao) City in Nei (Mongolia), and the other went to Xishuangbanna.

Lu Li is young and doesn't know how far these two strange place names are from Tianjin. After asking his uncle, he found out that Tong (Liao) is around 1,800 miles and takes two days and two nights to get there; as for Xishuangbanna, it's even further away. Nearly five thousand miles! Such a number is almost the same as Sun Wukong's journey to the West!

On the day of separation, Yu Fang cried like tears. She reminded her husband several times to open the child's camphor wood box to see if she was carrying enough clothes? Did she put the money on her body?

"Okay, don't cry!" Wu Baokun waved his wife impatiently, helped her daughter tie her luggage, and asked her to carry it on her body, "Go there... be obedient, people will let them do it, and don't do it if they don't, do you know?"

"I know, parents and grandpa, don't worry. This time I went there, it was the call of the great leader and the great leader, to go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. I know that when I got there, I would be a student first and then a teacher. In the future, I would remember what I learned in the countryside in my mind, and strive to plant the red flag of socialism all over the world and liberate Taiwan (Wan) one day soon!"

"You'll take it down!" Yu Fang scolded her daughter with a crying smile, "You're the only one who's still stuck around the world? Liberate Taiwan (Wan)?"

"What's wrong? Mom, what do you think is that? You wait and see, I have to make a move to show you."

"Okay, don't swear in vain!" Wu Baokun's eyes were filled with tears, and he put the two of them on the board cart with Wu Aimao. Lu Li and his uncle pushed the cart together. Yu Fang followed closely with his daughter who was still in a cradle and walked towards Heping Road. On the road, young people wearing yellow, green, red (guard) uniforms could be seen everywhere, wearing big red flowers on their chests, standing under the big banner slogan "Warmingly sending off the intellectual youth to the countryside". The young face was full of glorious and reserved smiles, and around him, there were no exceptions of family members who showed reluctance to leave their colors.

From here they took a bus to the train station. The train heading southeast was almost full. In front of each window, countless parents were crowded with apples, pears and hawthorns in their hands into the carriage, and were sent out by their children again and again. "Be obedient, keep them on the road to eat. When you get to the place, you send a letter to your home. Can you hear it?"

Lu Li and Rencong walked forward until they sent Wu Aimao into the carriage. Wu Baokun returned to the outside of the carriage. "Brother, I asked my colleagues and said that the weather was hot there. In this season, there were mosquitoes," the father stood on the platform, looked up at his daughter in the carriage, and handed in a package, "This is the medicine for you, there is cooling oil or something. If the mosquito bites it, it won't be itchy after applying it at all."

"I understand, I know, Dad, are you going back? I have no problems here. When I get to the place, I will write to you."

The train whistled and drove away from the platform. Countless parents on the platform followed the train in vain and ran a few steps, looking at the train that was leaving, burst into tears.

After seeing off the eldest sister, the second sister was next. The scene was staged again, so there was no need to mention it. Wu Aiwu found the seat from the carriage and looked out, his eyes were red, "Dad, mom, grandpa, I'm leaving, you guys go back too?"

"It's cold in the northeast. Remember to wear more clothes and don't be troublesome. When you come in, remember to wear a hat. Especially your ears and nose, you must cover them, otherwise you may be frozen."

"I know, dad, don't worry? There are so many people who can still watch me cold and don't care?" Wu Aimao said impatiently, his eyes turned and fell on Lu Li's face, "Xiaoxiao, my sister is gone, obedient at home, my mother is old and my sister is still young. Do you know if you help your family with more work?"

Lu Li nodded, his heart was sore; did he send his sister away like this? Is that Tong (Liao) good? Will my sister suffer there? When will my sister come back this time?

"Xiaoxiao,..." Zhaodi hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, come here, sister talk to you."

Lu Li tried to get closer and looked at his sister, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't burn your books; although it's your fault for reading the books that Fengzixiu... But, alas, Xiaoxiao, don't hate your sister!"

Lu Li, who has never shed tears since she remembered, was not enough to hear her sister say it, and she was already covered in tears! "Xiaoxiao, don't cry..." Wu Aiwu said in a crying voice: "If you cry, your sister will cry too."

"Sister..." Lu Li tiptoed and grabbed his second sister's hand, "How long do you...you can..."

"During the New Year, be obedient, Xiaoxiao, don't cry! My second sister will come back next year during the New Year... You are obedient, don't cry! Don't cry... Mom, take care of Xiaoxiao!"

The more he said he wouldn't let him cry, the more he cried, as if the tears of his life had accumulated to this moment! "Stop crying, Xiaoxiao, it's so ugly when you cry."

"Sister..." Lu Licai didn't care about the beauty and ugly appearance, opened his mouth wide and burst into tears. Fortunately, the people who came to see him off were all sad. However, as parents, it was inconvenient to cry in front of their children. Instead, he envied this little devil who could cry unscrupulously!

******************************************************************************

After several months of intellectual youth went to the countryside, the city suddenly became deserted. Except for some young people who were determined to leave after eating weights, young people of the right age, regardless of their high or low, this is a rare moment of regardless of their origins, all of them were dispersed to all parts of the motherland. As for what kind of fate awaited them, they could only rely on these people to understand them.

The departure of the two sisters made Lu Li grow up a lot overnight, and both at home and at school became much calmer. After the summer vacation, he was promoted to the fourth grade. On the way to school, he heard a very bad news: Vice Principal Yang Shiguang was sick and very serious.

Yang Shiguang is from Beijing (Beijing). Her parents are in the United States, and only her and her younger brother are in China. Before she returned to China, her parents advised her that everything was unknown at the beginning of the founding of the country, and she should have returned after the situation stabilized. Yang Shiguang refused to listen and embarked on a journey back to her hometown with her younger brother who was also young and energetic. Originally, the two elders had to come back immediately after their children, but they did not want their grandmother, who was in the United States, had a serious illness. Yang's father took care of my mother and rested for more than a year. When the Korean War was about to set off, the Korean War broke out and finally failed to make a trip.

Although Yang Shiguang and her younger brother are close relatives, she has lived in Tianjin for many years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were constant turmoils and not many exchanges. Living alone in Tianjin, her daily life is fine. Once she gets sick, no one around her will take care of her, and she falls down.

After hearing Xu Yunjian say this, Lu Li glared at him, "Who did you... hear... talk about it?"

"I heard from Teacher Li and Teacher Tian when they talked, and they said that they would go and have a look after get off work today."

"What's the relationship with us?"

"No, but Xiaoxiao, I think Teacher Yang is very pitiful. The injury he was beaten last time had not healed yet, and now he is sick again? Otherwise, we will go and have a look?"

Luli had an irresistible attitude, "Okay...learn...learn...learn...learn...learn...learn...learn...learn...learn...learn."
