Nostalgia is like wild grass; once it sprouts, it's impossible to remove completely.
That evening, Wen Lan didn't do any sewing, but bit on her handkerchief, crying while writing a letter home. When she became emotional, she grabbed a pillow and charged into Wang Shumei's room to beat her up.

She waited until the next day to leisurely go find Li Dahe—
"Uncle Team Leader, could you write me a letter of introduction when the village school is on summer break? I want to make a trip back to Beijing."
Li Dahe, clenching his tobacco pipe, answered briskly, "No."
Lin Nianhe insisted, "Uncle Team Leader, I have important business. I need to research the market."
Li Dahe: "Oh, that is indeed important business."
"So…" Lin Nianhe, full of anticipation, rubbed her hands as she eagerly looked at Li Dahe.
Li Dahe: "No."
Lin Nianhe's face fell: "Uncle Team Leader!"
Li Dahe: "Buzz off."
