Jianjun, could you write this for me? Grandma Guo was quite excited. Life is better now, and her mood is different from when she wrote those letters three years ago.
"Mom, Dad, I'm doing well now. The children have all grown up, and some of my grandchildren are even married. It's been so many years since we last met. How are you doing?"
“I’m getting old, and I’ve been married for decades, but you’ve never seen my family.”
"When spring comes and planting is done, my children and I will come to visit you. I wonder how everything is at home?"
"I remember when I was little, there was a big tree in front of our house. My brothers and I would go there to escape the summer heat. I wonder how it is now."
"We'll all come to see you then. We're getting old, and every meeting is one less we'll see. It's much more convenient to take the train now than before."
"Jianjun, that's all for now. I'll send you some money for mailing later, and your mother will give it to you."
"Dad, how should I write this? Tell me and I'll write it."
"Just make sure it's the same as what your mother wrote, and change the rest for me."
"Write it down for me, so we can all get together when we get back and have a good meal."
"Ah, we've all gotten old. Time flies. I still remember when you went down to the river to catch fish."
“Ah, isn’t it the same for Dad? Chengcai and Zhuzi are all grown up now. If you don’t raise your own children, who can understand how difficult it is?”
"Okay, Jianjun, here's 200 yuan in total. Mail it to me and your father's family."
"Okay, Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely go tomorrow morning."
On the other hand, they also received letters after a period of time.
"Mother, whose letter is this? What does it say?"
"Dongzi, open it and see who it is, whether it's your brother."
"Mom, it's my little brother. He said he'd come back to see us sometime. I can't even remember what he looks like now. He must be an old man by now."
"I can't remember clearly. Back then, you got married, and there was nothing we could do about it."
“Your uncle walked all the way from here to the north, started a family, and had such a young child. I don’t know if he resents me.”
“Mom, my brother even sent money. We had no other choice at the time. We might have starved if we stayed at home. Only by going out could we have a chance.”
"Hey, quickly write a letter, write one back, say that Mom and Dad miss them too, and it would be best if they could see them this time, because there really won't be another chance next time."
"Okay, I'll go now."
On the other side, at Grandma Guo's house, they also found a letter and 100 yuan.
"Mother, is this a letter from my little sister?"
"Yes, it's been so many years, I can't even remember."
"And what about your third and fourth sisters? I wonder how they are doing."
"Oh, Mother, don't think about it anymore. My little sister will say she'll come back to visit us. It's all good news. Don't cry. Your health isn't good to begin with."
"Yes, I have to wait until the day I can see her come back."
"There's nothing we can do. Every time we meet, it's one less time we can see each other. We're so far apart, it's really difficult."
"Yes, Mother, during those three years, we were lucky that our little sister sent us things, otherwise, we don't know what would have happened to us now."
"Yes, it is difficult."
Seeing their mother's condition, everyone felt bad; their lives weren't easy either.
It's still quite difficult. My younger sister's 100 yuan is a big sum for the family; it can solve a lot of problems.
It seems that my younger sister is doing well now, which puts their minds at ease.
