Sun Yafei, carrying a large bag on her back and a smaller one in hand, had a crooked hat, disheveled clothes, and footprints all over her shoes; it was unclear what she'd encountered on her journey.
"Oh my God, she looks like she's fleeing a disaster," Wang Hong took what was in her hands and began pulling her towards the village.
Sun Yafei smiled happily, but when she spoke, her voice was somewhat hoarse: "I have my home leave this year, and I thought I'd visit Ten Miles Team before I head back to Shanghai."
"Didn't you drink any water on the way?" Wang Hong asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
Sun Yafei nodded: "There were too many people on the way, and the main issue... my water bottle froze."
As she spoke, she shook the water bottle she was carrying, which didn't make the slightest sound.
"Going out for a year and still not becoming any wiser," Wang Hong rolled her eyes in annoyance, dragging Sun Yafei into the Educated Youth Corps and called out, "Someone come help out."
