As they were approaching the provincial capital, Tong Yu kindly left Gu Xiaobei with their home address, inviting them to visit whenever they had the time.
Upon reaching the provincial capital, Liu Hongbing was there to pick them up and had already bought the night trip's tickets back to T City.
The two of them arrived at T City early in the morning, caught the first bus back to their town, and managed to catch the supply truck back to the military base too.
By midday, they finally arrived at the family compound. Gu Xiaobei started to feel a bit unwell after the last couple of bus rides, feeling some unease in her stomach.
Lu Zhanguo took her to Zhang Lijun's house first, as their home hadn't been heated in a while and was freezing like an ice cellar.
"Finally, you are back. I was worried you wouldn't come back until after the New Year." Li Fengmei greeted them heartily with these words as she ushered the pair inside.
