Ye Wenhui took the next day off specifically to accompany Shi Jingfang around Hua’an Farm Reclamation.
Around noon, the mother and daughter strolled to the health clinic. "Yunyi, are you finished with your work?"
Yunyi, who was in the middle of writing a case history, replied, "Wait for me a moment, I’ll be done very soon."
Once she finished her work and changed her clothes, the three of them headed to the state-run restaurant, laughing and talking along the way.
Ye Wenhui remembered the news she had heard that day. "Mom, Wenjuan is probably coming back in the next few days."
Shi Jingfang had already inquired with the attending physician the day before. "Your little aunt probably won’t be able to stay for many days. We’ll see how the regiment arranges things. You should take more care of your cousin. Regardless, you must show respect to your little uncle and Second Grandfather. However, if she’s being unreasonable and causing trouble, you don’t have to put up with it."
Ye Wenhui nodded. "I understand."
When the three of them arrived at the state-run restaurant, they saw Chief Qiao with several comrades they didn’t recognize, sitting and talking at a table further inside.
Yunyi glanced over just as Chief Qiao also looked in her direction.
Yunyi politely nodded at him and was about to find a nearby place to sit when she noticed Chief Qiao beckoning her over.
Shi Jingfang had met Chief Qiao before. Seeing many people at his table, she didn’t go over with Yunyi. "You go say hello," she said. "Wenhui and I will go order."
Yunyi nodded and walked over with a smile. "Qiao Tuan."
Qiao Shaoguo pointed to a man sitting with them. "My cousin, Gui Kairong."
Then he gestured towards Yunyi. "This is the Comrade Chu I told you about."
Gui Kairong stood up with a smile. "Comrade Chu, my cousin told me about what happened on the mountain. I really want to thank you."
His words were somewhat vague; he didn’t mention Qiao Wenyu by name, but Yunyi understood. "It was everyone’s effort," she replied.
Gui Kairong hadn’t expected his cousin to know such a refreshingly elegant beauty. "Comrade Chu," he invited, "please sit down and have a meal with us as a token of our gratitude."
