Wu Zhenqing said to Hao Mei: "Don't worry, Debao will arrange everything for you! He has many comrades-in-arms educated youth in Beijing." Hao Mei looked at Han Debao trustingly. Han Debao said to Wu Zhenqing and Lao Pan: "You still have to go to work, so go back." Wu Zhenqing said: "When necessary, you send me a telegram, and I will rush to Beijing in time." Lao Pan then said, "I will too."

Han Debao said to Yunyun: "Goodbye to uncles!" Wu Zhenqing couldn't help hugging Yunyun from Hao Mei's arms, hugged her tightly and said, "Goodbye, Yunyun! Come and kiss uncle." Yunyun kissed him on the cheek. "Uncle kisses you too..." Wu Zhenqing kissed Yunyun on the forehead.Lao Pan watched melancholy, clearly, how much he wanted to express his final love to Yunyun. Hao Mei took the luggage over. Han Debao said: "Yunyun, goodbye to your Uncle Pan too!" Yunyun turned her head behind her mother's shoulder. Old Pan said: "Yunyun, you still think of Uncle Pan as a bad man, the past stories that Uncle told you are actually all made up by Uncle..."

Yunyun didn't turn her head back to him, she rested her head weakly on her mother's shoulder. Lao Pan was not only depressed, but also sentimental. Wu Zhenqing pulled Han Debao aside, and instructed in a low voice: "When you arrive in Beijing, go to Xiao Song first, I think he will do his best to help the hospital." Han Debao nodded. During their conversation, Hao Mei stuffed a note folded into the shape of a swallow into Lao Pan's hand. Lao Pan wanted to read it, Hao Mei shook his head at him, and Lao Pan put the note into his pocket. At this time, Wang Xiaosong's younger sister came along the platform with her mother's support. The younger sister pointed to Zhenqing and the others and said, "It's there!"

Wu Zhenqing and Han Debao greeted them, and Hao Mei also went forward. Although Lao Pan didn't know Wang Xiaosong's mother, he hesitated and followed. The mother stretched out her hands and said, "May, where are you, my child?" Hao Mei handed Yunyun to Han Debao, Lao Pan took a step forward and took the opportunity to hug Yunyun. Hao Mei held her mother's hands, and the mother said, "Girl, my aunt is old and can't see anymore, so I can't help you much. My aunt wishes you two a safe journey..." Hao Mei couldn't help leaning her body towards her mother.

The mother took out a paper bag from her pocket and said: "This little money is saved by the aunt on weekdays, son, take it with you!" Hao Mei didn't know whether to refuse or accept, she looked at Wu Zhenqing, Wu Zhenqing said: "Accept it, my aunt's heart!" Han Debao also said: "Yes, take it, the aunt is not an outsider." Hao Mei accepted it with deep emotion, looked at Wu Zhenqing, nodded her heart, pointed to her mouth, and asked Wu Zhenqing to speak for her. Wu Zhenqing said, "Auntie, Hao Mei wants to tell you that she has remembered all the kindness you have shown her in the past and now."

The mother nodded and said, "Son, when you come back, the aunt will come to pick you up, ah! Where is Yunyun? Where is Yunyun? Let grandma hug you." Yunyun said weakly, "Grandma, I'm here..." Old Pan reluctantly handed Yunyun to his mother, who hugged Yunyun tightly in her arms, and she took out a small red cloth bag from her pocket: "Debao, put it on Yunyun for auntie..." Han Debao took the little red cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was a longevity lock.He put it on Yunyun's neck. Yunyun laughed silently. Everyone is disappointed... Zhang Meng came a step late. When she checked the ticket, rushed into the station and ran to the platform, the train had already started. She ran on the platform, ignoring that she bumped into others, and shouted at each carriage: " Hao Mei! Hao Mei!"

Hao Mei and Han Debao poked their heads out of a window at the same time, and Han Debao shouted: "Zhang Meng! We are here!" Zhang Meng found them, and stretched out her arms while running, Hao Mei also stretched out an arm, the platform staff stopped Zhang Meng and said, "What are you doing, you don't want to die!" The train drove away, Hao Mei's arm was still stretched out outside the carriage, and Zhang Meng's hand was still raised, until the train disappeared... Zhang Meng slowly lowered her arms and turned around slowly. Wu Zhenqing stood behind her and said, "I'm so happy that you came to see her off too."

Zhang Meng said, "But I'm late." Wu Zhenqing said: "It's good if you come...Wang Xiaosong's mother is over there, why don't you go and see her?" "I'm not familiar with it. Let's do it later." Zhang Meng paused and said, "I really envy Hao Mei. There are so many people who care about her and give her friendship." Wu Zhenqing said: "Going to the moon is not too far away. The maximum distance we have to travel may still be between people." Zhang Meng said, "How do you talk like a philosopher?" Wu Zhenqing said seriously: "If a person can understand himself, he is almost half a philosopher. Zhang Meng, I will never disturb you emotionally again. Really, because I have put myself I figured it out, even if I exhausted myself, I probably wouldn't be able to cover the distance between us. Returning to the city made the distance between us longer. I've begun to admit this reality, and I'm too tired. As for you, don't have so many psychological burdens. Everyone's life is not easy, and we should learn to be considerate and understand each other..."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to Zhang Meng and said, "Wang Xiaosong's mother is still waiting for me over there. I want to see the old lady for a while." Zhang Meng mechanically shook his hand, Wu Zhenqing turned and left. Zhang Meng watched him walk to Wang Xiaosong's mother, and Wang Xiaosong's younger sister supported her on the left and right, and walked into the underground passage. Zhang Meng said silently in her heart: "Wu Zhenqing, thank you for completely liberating me. Otherwise, I simply don't know how to liberate myself. In fact, you are not far away from me. But the last few steps, I can't take you. out. It was hard for me, hard..."

After sending Hao Mei's mother and daughter away, Lao Pan seemed to have lost his soul. He ran home quickly, lay on the bed, and took out the note Hao Mei had given him at the station. Holding the note in his hand, he thought to himself: I must have the courage to open the note you gave me. Even if you write something that makes me despair, I will not hate you.A good man shouldn't hate a good woman... He slowly opened the note, and there was only one sentence on the note: "I want you to be Yunyun's father..." He eagerly searched for the cigarette, he sucked on the cigarette fiercely, in disbelief, his eyes widened and he continued to look at the only sentence.He stubbed out the cigarette again, jumped to the ground in only shorts, moved the table away, and compared it against the wall.

He pulled out the axe, impatiently marked the area of ​​the door on the wall, and swung the axe to chop. Suddenly, he stopped, threw the ax away, sat back on the bed, stared at the wall in a daze. He slowly picked up the paper and looked at it again, he almost said aloud to himself: Would you change your decision without Yunyun?Yunyun, I love you, I am not a bad man.Don't ever think of me as the man who abandoned your mother... how happy I am to be a good daddy to you!Life, I hate you!Why don't you let me make it?Why take away a daughter I was about to have?
