"When you go, do your best, don't embarrass our village..."
"Eat well and drink well, take care of your body. Your boss isn't stingy, if there's food, eat more, don't wear yourself out!"

Watching the elderly and the young from the village all follow him to the village entrance, each speaking whether he listened or not, Yang Hongqi carried his bag and tried to keep a smile: "Then I'm really leaving!"
"Go, go, go, get on the car quickly, go!" His dad waved his hand. "Don't be so wishy-washy!"
"When work isn't busy, go out and see the world. If you meet a girl you both like, bring her back, huh?!?" This was Yang Hongqi's mom repeating the same advice throughout New Year.
"Hmm!" Yang Hongqi nodded to his parents, then to the villagers, and climbed onto the tractor—a special ride to take him to the bus stop.
