Three days after the banquet concluded, everyone began their journey home. The Su, Bai, and Liu families, along with other business leaders, each had factories to manage, so they drove off ahead of the others.
Considering the year-end season and icy roads, Gu Yu, for the sake of everyone's safety, pulled some strings to secure several train carriages for the students of the Nanyu Schools, the cadres of Star River Town, the folks from the Chaoyang Brigade, and teachers like Wang Hongbo. He ensured the children were all seated together. Furthermore, he dispatched Zheng Lingyun, He Ming, Wang Zhuo, and Xiǎoliù, each with two assistants, to accompany each train and ensure everyone reached their destination safely.
Before the tickets were booked, the children from the Chaoyang Brigade were already set to return with Li Zhong, Zhao Gang, and their group, requiring no extra coordination. As for the students from other schools, he had already telephoned the administrators at each institution, provided them with the train schedules, and instructed them to notify parents to meet the trains. If a student had no family available, the teachers were tasked with escorting them personally to the brigade and handing them over to the village cadres.
