Inside the box lay a stack of yellowed letter papers and some old photos.
Shen Qiqi carefully picked up a letter and gently unfolded it, and a long-forgotten smell came to her face.
The handwriting on the letter paper is beautiful and neat, bearing the traces of time, as if telling a forgotten story.
Shen Qiqi flipped through the pages one by one, her eyes gradually becoming blurred, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to that era full of warmth.
Lu Qing came over and gently put his arm around her shoulders, "Qiqi, what's wrong?"
Shen Qiqi shook her head and pointed at the contents of the letter paper. "These are the letters your grandmother wrote to your grandfather when she was young. There is deep love between the lines."
Lu Qing also became interested and read these loving letters with Shen Qiqi.
The letters recorded every bit of their youth, including sweet memories and the ups and downs of life.
As they read, tears welled up in their eyes.
These days, the entire Lu family is immersed in a relaxed atmosphere after the pension issue has been resolved.
Shen Qiqi didn't dare to relax at all. She was like a hardworking little bee, constantly shuttling around every corner of the Lu family, paying attention to every subtle change.
Lu Qing's son Xiao Shitou has become a different person since the nursing home issue was resolved. He is no longer as naughty as before, but has become quiet and taciturn.
That night, the Lu family held a family meeting to discuss the next family plan.
Little Stone suddenly stood up and said loudly, "I don't want to live in this kind of group life anymore. I want to go out and explore the world on my own!"
When these words were spoken, the whole family was stunned.
The teacup in Mrs. Lu's hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into pieces.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Lu Qing's face also darkened. "Little Stone, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Little Shitou stuck out his neck and said stubbornly, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm grown up now and I want to make my own decisions!" He stood up suddenly with a firm look in his eyes, "I'm leaving tomorrow!" After that, he rushed out of the room without looking back, leaving his family in a room full of astonishment.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing exchanged a glance, and an ominous premonition came to their hearts...
Shen Qiqi stood up and chased after him, with Lu Qing following closely behind.
The night wind blew gently, making the leaves rustle.
Little Stone sat alone by the courtyard wall, his hands on his knees, and his back looked particularly lonely.
Shen Qiqi sat down beside him and gently put her arm around his shoulders, "Little Stone, tell Mom why you suddenly want to leave?"
Little Stone lowered his head and said sullenly, "I feel like a burden. My uncles are both reluctant to help with my grandma's retirement. Why should my family bear so much responsibility?"
Shen Qiqi smiled and rubbed his head. "Silly boy, it's normal for family members to help each other. How can you say it's a burden? Think about it, how did your grandparents treat us in the past? Now that they are old and need our care, we should be more filial."
Shen Qiqi spoke eloquently, telling the story of the Lu family's past.
At that time, the Lu family also faced difficulties, and the whole family worked together to overcome the difficulties.
When she was moved, her eyes became slightly moist, and Little Stone was also listening attentively.
"Mom, I understand." Little Stone raised his head, his eyes red. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that."
Shen Qiqi smiled with relief and hugged him gently, "A good child is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them."
Lu Qing stood aside and watched this scene. He walked forward and hugged the mother and child in his arms.
The moonlight shines down, stretching the figures of the family of three into long lines, and a warm atmosphere fills the air.
Back in the house, Mrs. Lu had calmed down. She took Little Stone's hand and said earnestly, "Little Stone, grandma knows you've grown up. I'll try not to cause trouble for your parents in the future."
Little Stone shook his head and said, "Grandma, I'm not afraid of trouble. I will be filial to you in the future."
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of tenderness, "Qiqi, you have worked hard."
Shen Qiqi responded with a gentle smile, "We are one family and we don't talk behind each other's backs."
It was late at night, and everyone in the Lu family went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today.
"Qiqi, you are amazing. You convinced Xiao Shitou with just a few words." Lu Qing praised sincerely.
Shen Qiqi smiled and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just want him to understand that home is a warm harbor and family is eternal support."
Lu Qing held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "It's great to have you here."
Shen Qiqi snuggled in his arms, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence...
The rapid knock on the door was like thunder, exploding in the silent night.
Lu Qing sat up with a sudden somersault and asked sleepily, "Who is it? In the middle of the night..."
When I opened the door, my uncle was standing outside. His face was ashen, his lips were trembling, and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Third brother, third brother's wife, something happened! Your father...your father..."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to their minds.
Without thinking too much, the two of them quickly followed their uncle to Old Master Lu's room.
In the room, Old Master Lu was lying on the bed, his face pale, his breathing rapid, and his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
Old Mrs. Lu sat by the bed, holding her husband's hand, and kept calling his name in a low voice.
"Dad! Dad! What's wrong with you?" Lu Qing asked anxiously.
