Li Jin forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. I was just thinking about the past and feeling a bit sentimental!"

Around noon, the car arrived at a small town. Gong Moze found a clean restaurant and got out to grab a bite. The restaurant was quite crowded, filled with a lively, bustling atmosphere. After ordering, Li Jin got up to use the restroom. On her way back, she saw a painting on the wall depicting a tranquil courtyard with a large tree. Under the tree sat an old man and a child, a scene strikingly similar to the courtyard of Grandpa Lin's house in her memory. She stopped and stared at the painting, lost in thought.

"Jinjin, the food is almost served, come quickly." Gong Moze's voice came, and Li Jin finally snapped out of her daze and hurried back to her seat. The two enjoyed the meal warmly; although the food wasn't fancy, it tasted delicious!

After a day's drive, they finally arrived in Suzhou. The streets of Suzhou still retained their ancient charm; the cobblestone paths and white-walled, black-tiled buildings made Li Jin feel particularly at home. The car quickly arrived at the retirement home where Chief Fu resided. Li Jin got out of the car and told the guard at the gate who she was looking for and her name. After checking her identity, the guard smiled and said, "So it's Miss Li. Chief Fu has already given instructions; you can go straight in." Li Jin and Gong Moze carried the gifts and entered the retirement home. Chief Fu lived in a quiet courtyard. As soon as they reached the door, it opened, and Chief Fu stood there, looking energetic, smiling and saying, "I've been waiting for you." Li Jin's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly stepped forward to hug Chief Fu. "Grandpa, I missed you so much." Chief Fu gently patted her back. "Good, good, you've all grown up."

Li Jin gave all the things she had brought to Grandpa Fu, who was overjoyed. Dinner was also prepared, and Li Jin and Gong Moze were really hungry, so they ate heartily!

Chief Fu chatted with Gong Moze for a while, and then the two went to rest. Chief Fu had arranged the rooms in advance.

The next day, Lu Mian and Gong Moze had breakfast with Chief Fu. Gong Moze then played chess with Chief Fu for a while before driving to the countryside. Because they hadn't informed their uncle and aunt's family in advance, Li Jin bought some meat and vegetables in town.

The car moved slowly along the country road, the fields on both sides covered with a thin layer of frost, shimmering in the winter sun. Li Jin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, her heart filled with anticipation, wondering how her uncle and aunt's family were doing now.

Finally, the car stopped in front of her uncle's courtyard. Gong Moze got out of the car first and helped Li Jin carry the meat and vegetables she had bought. Li Jin took a deep breath and gently pushed open the gate to the courtyard.

"Uncle, Aunt!" Li Jin's voice rang out in the courtyard. Aunt, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, turned around when she heard the voice, her eyes full of surprise. "Oh, isn't this Xiao Jin?" Aunt quickly put down the basin in her hand and hurried over to greet her.

At this moment, her uncle also came out of the house. When he saw Li Jin and Gong Moze, a surprised smile appeared on his face. "Xiao Jin, why are you back?" Li Jin stepped forward and handed the gifts in her hands to her uncle and aunt. "Uncle, Aunt, I'm getting married, so I came back to see you." As she spoke, she pulled Gong Moze over. "This is Gong Moze, my fiancé."

Gong Moze greeted them politely, "Uncle, Aunt, hello." The uncle and aunt looked Gong Moze up and down, their eyes full of satisfaction, "This young man looks very energetic."

The aunt took Li Jin's hand and ushered them into the house, saying, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside. I haven't seen you in the past two years, and you've become even more beautiful, and you've found such a good partner."

Upon entering the house, the furnishings were simple, but the place was spotless. Auntie was busy starting a fire to cook, and Li Jin followed her into the kitchen to help. Uncle and Gong Moze sat in the main room chatting.

"Moze, what do you do for a living?" his uncle asked. Gong Moze respectfully replied, "Uncle, I'm in the army now." His uncle nodded. "The army is good; it's good for personal development. Xiaojin has had a hard life since she was little; you must treat her well from now on." Gong Moze said firmly, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Jinjin well and won't let her suffer any injustice."
