As soon as the door opened, the entire Sun family was standing outside, carrying their belongings.

"Oh, Grandpa Sun, Grandma Sun, Uncle Sun, Aunt Ling, you're back! Come in and sit down, come in and sit down." Ruan Ruan was quite surprised when she first saw them. She remembered last year when she was asking why the Sun family hadn't returned even though it had been two years since they were exonerated. Later, after learning from her parents about their contributions to the village, she thought they wanted to stay in the countryside. She never expected them to come back now.

"Comrade Ruan Ruan, it's been a long time! You've really become more and more capable!" They hadn't seen each other for over a year, but this time when they returned, they became colleagues.

Sun Huai'an and his family rushed back after receiving the teaching assignment notice.

After being sent down to the countryside, Sun Huai'an was a professor at Renmin University. However, this time he returned as a professor in the Department of Literature at Peking University. Sun Yuchu was also originally a teacher at Renmin University, but in the past two years he became very interested in agriculture. After the leaders learned about his contributions in the Red Flag Commune in the past two years, they transferred him to the Agricultural University to do planting research.

Their two children also transferred back to continue their junior high school education.

They were ushered into the house, and each of them was given a glass of water. Then they started chatting casually. "Grandpa Sun, when did you come back? We didn't hear about it!"

"We only received the notice at the last minute, so we rushed back. We didn't even have time to pack our things. Luckily, your parents are here. When we left, they helped us pack our things and even helped us get back. We just finished tidying up the house and came over to check the address your dad gave us."

Grandma Sun said with emotion, "These past few years, it's all thanks to the Huo family that they were able to come back safely. Before, when we were in the countryside, we didn't have the ability to repay them, but now that they're back, we definitely had to come and let them know."

"It's good that you're back. Grandpa and Grandma are bored in Beijing. If you have time, visit them more often."

Upon hearing that the Sun family had been recalled, Ruan Ruan recalled that a few years ago, before they were falsely accused and sent to the countryside, the whole family seemed to be teachers. Now that university is about to start, they must have been urgently recalled because some school was short of teachers. But none of this concerned her. If they were willing, she could visit them more often in the future; if not, then so be it.

"Yes, we're back now. Our two families will definitely be visiting each other more often in the future. But what about your grandparents and the children? Are you home alone today?"

They've been inside for several minutes now. With such a commotion, if there were other people in the house, they should have come out by now. They haven't, so it seems no one is home.

"The weather is nice today. Grandpa and Grandma took some kids out to play. Mom probably went to buy groceries and will be back soon." At this moment, Ruan Ruan acted as if the adults were away and she was left alone at home to entertain guests, answering whatever the adults asked.

"Oh, I see. It seems we came at the wrong time today!" They had come to thank the family, but now the timing was bad and the whole family was not there, which was quite awkward. Sun Huai'an said with a smile. If it were before, he would never have said such a thing. But these years in the countryside, everyone speaks very directly, and he had gotten used to it. So he said it out of the blue.

"What do you mean by bad timing? It's just that the weather is nice today, which is why we were able to bring Grandpa Sun and Grandma Sun to our house. Otherwise, we don't know when we would have been able to see you again!"

"Hey, you little rascal, you're really quick-witted! If you're talking about meeting, we'll naturally see each other in a couple of days when school starts." Sun Huai'an smiled happily as Ruan Ruan's joke eased his earlier embarrassment. Then, thinking about how he and Ruan Ruan would be colleagues at school, his mood changed again. "Wow, you're really something! We've become colleagues in no time. It really is the era of you young people now!"

"Look at what Grandpa Sun is saying, what's with all this talk about the world? Without you older generations holding the fort, we wouldn't have the peaceful life we ​​have now!"

"Hahaha, good, good, we old bones will hold you off for a while longer. In the future, we'll still have to rely on you."

The old man and the young man chatted for a while, then, seeing that the rest of the Huo family hadn't returned, they got up to say goodbye.

"Girl, we'll head back now. We'll come visit your grandparents again in a few days after we've sorted things out at school." With that, the Sun family got up to leave.

Ruan Ruan wanted to invite them to stay for lunch, but when she checked the time, it was only a little before 10 o'clock. According to the usual time when her grandparents would return, it would be after 10 o'clock. In addition, the Sun family had just returned, and they had just mentioned that they had school matters to attend to. So Ruan Ruan decided not to keep them.

"Grandpa Sun, please leave your address. When Grandpa and Grandma come back, we'll come over for a visit."

“Our home is near Kyoto University, at No. 6 Academic Street. You’ll see it when you get there. So it’s settled then. Come visit us when you have time.”

"Okay, we'll definitely come over when we have time. Grandpa Sun, Grandma Sun, take care."

After seeing the Sun family off, Ruan Ruan felt a little tired.

After the Sun family left, Grandpa and Grandma didn't return until almost 11 o'clock. Afterwards, Ruanruan told them about the Sun family's visit and their address.
