Chapter 847: Chapter 0847: Storm 3

After a night of deep conversation, the couple felt a sense of crisis. Lu Jiang decided to thoroughly study every directive sent from above, conjecturing their implied meanings and under what circumstances they had been issued.

And Feng Qingxue? She became increasingly reclusive and sent out the letters she had written.

Lou Shaonong and Lin Yufen were shocked upon receiving the letters.

"Old Lou?" Lin Yufen spoke first, "What do you think?"

Lou Shaonong spoke in a low voice, "This girl must have taken a huge risk to write us this letter. They often interact with the higher-ups and naturally would discover some things unknown to us down here. They mentioned that a storm is brewing, and sure enough, it wasn’t calm at the beginning of this year. Now they mention a sandstorm, saying it’s beyond redemption. We can’t ignore this."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yufen was immediately alarmed.

Clamping his teeth, Lou Shaonong said, "Let’s go! We’ll resign, claiming that we’re getting old, our health is worsening, and our memory is sometimes unreliable. We fear that if we continue teaching, we might misguide the young."

Lin Yufen nodded, "Back to our hometown?"

"Not to my hometown, but to yours. It’s unfamiliar territory, but they also know nothing about our past," Lou Shaonong thought for a moment, "As we resign, we will also transfer all our food rations, claiming we’re deeply aware of the Capital’s food supply pressure. We’ll move to the countryside to live by our labor and not add to the nation’s burden. Our savings will last us several years!"

Having taught in the Capital for many years and mentored many students, he was confident that he could manage moving to the countryside.

Lou Shaonong’s hometown was in the city, which is why he chose to move to a remote mountain village in Shu Land, where his wife’s family was from.

Lin Yufen didn’t object. Despite the school’s attempt to retain them, they submitted their resignation letter, which contained such content, and seeing as their minds were made up, it wasn’t long before it was approved.

Of course, they managed to do so smoothly with the help of the vice principal, Zheng Peng.

The couple burned all the letters they had exchanged and buried most of their remaining books deep underground.

In contrast to their previous meticulous burial of books and paintings, this time they simply packed them up without time to take proper protective measures.

Once everything was settled, the elderly couple took their household belongings and left the Capital. They discreetly advised a few old friends to bravely withdraw at their farewell banquet. Whether their friends listened or not, they wouldn’t know once they had left the Capital.

Upon receiving a reply from the elderly couple, Feng Qingxue felt somewhat relieved.

Being far from the Capital greatly reduced the risk.

It was already July, with the sun shining high. Despite the lack of sweltering heat, the warmth was still overwhelming.

Even with a small straw hat, Fubao refused to go out.

"Why, sister? It’s really fun outside." A now darker Xibao was puzzled. He loved going out to play the most, as many kids who weren’t in school followed his lead, making him feel particularly powerful.

Fubao ignored her brother, taking Feng Qingxue’s towel to wipe her face and hands, then hanging it on the washbasin stand. Next, she pushed a chair to a chest, climbed up, and successfully reached for the snow cream in the enameled basin on top. She clumsily opened the lid and was about to apply it to her face when Feng Qingxue took it away.

"I’ve told you many times, this is Mom’s snow cream."

"Mama, put some on me, please! Bao Bao wants to be pretty too." Fubao thought her mother’s snow cream was better and extended a tiny finger, "Just a little, a little!"
