Shen Yunfang was busy and delighted in the Capital, but Li Hongjun back in his hometown was not so happy.
After seeing his wife and child onto the train, he also bought a ticket and returned to his hometown. After a bumpy journey, he finally arrived home the next afternoon.
"Mom, I'm back. How's dad?" Li Hongjun pushed the door and entered the Shen Family courtyard, where he saw his mother sitting at the doorway, snapping green beans. He walked into the yard and closed the door behind him.
Just as he walked into the village, several people had already greeted him, and some even asked about military conscription. He couldn't help with that, so it was better not to give people an opportunity to ask; otherwise, his refusal to help would certainly offend someone.
Though he wasn't afraid of offending people, it was an unnecessary issue, and it would be best to avoid it if possible.
