July 22, 2014, in the afternoon.
Two electric carts set off from the river dam, with Xue Yuantong riding in Jiang Ning's electric cart and Xue Chuchu seated in Aunt Gu's.
Yu Zhou Railway Station.
Jiang Ning carried a travel backpack, while Xue Yuantong had a small backpack that held both their ID cards, wallets, tissues, and other everyday items.
"Mom, Chuchu, we're leaving now!" Xue Yuantong laughed, showing no sorrow of parting.
Aunt Gu sighed inwardly, 'a mother worries when her child travels far,' and indeed, their journey was more than a thousand miles.
"Jiang Ning, take good care of Tongtong," Aunt Gu instructed.
Jiang Ning nodded.
Xue Yuantong raised her little head, "Mom, I should be taking care of him!"
Aunt Gu stroked her daughter's head, leaving Xue Yuantong to complain, "I won't grow taller now."
Even though it was a farewell, Xue Yuantong kept the atmosphere lively, so her mother wouldn't feel so sad.
