Despite it being a brief acquaintance, Zhao Han and Wang Yan noticed Guo Jianjun's family and kept them in mind.
Jianjun's family doesn't care what others think; they just mind their own business.
Before they knew it, it was time to get off the bus. Guo Jianjun and his family got off the bus and prepared to find a place to stay and rest.
After such a long train ride, I was exhausted.
Grandpa Guo looked up at his surroundings and sighed, "So many years have passed, and the changes are truly remarkable."
"Old woman, look at this. It wasn't much back then, but now there are so many people here."
"Yes, we've finally gotten off the bus. Once we've rested, we'll go home and visit our families. It's been so many years."
As she spoke, Grandma Guo wiped away her tears with her sleeve. She couldn't help but miss her home after getting off the bus.
"Mom, you're feeling better now, let's go and rest. Don't overwork yourself, or you won't be able to get home properly and will make Grandma and the others worry."
Grandma Guo and Grandpa Guo both live in the same county, but not in the same village; they live quite far apart.
"Dad, let's go back to whichever is closer first. What do you and Mom think?"
“Jianjun, your father and I have thought about it. We’ll go back to Lao Guo’s house first, and then to your maternal grandmother’s house.”
"Okay, Mother, let's go back after we've rested."
"Okay, it's settled then, I think it's fine."
Jianjun divided the things he brought into two groups: one group was for his grandparents, and the other was for his mother's family.
It's much better to separate these things now than to separate them when we go there.
"Jianjun, you really brought a lot of stuff. I feel like this is enough to last me for half a year."
"Brother, I don't want to think that since our parents have finally come back, they'll have to stay for a while."
"At that time, I felt that their conditions were not very good. Even if they stayed for a long time, they would be left with nothing to eat."
"You're so thoughtful. We still have chores to do at home, so we can't stay too long."
"Yes, I know. I've talked to my parents about it, and they've agreed."
"That's good."
The next day, Old Man Guo started clamoring to leave, eager to go home, as it had been so many years since they had last met.
Jianjun and the others set off according to the address they had written in their letters.
So many people on the street stared at Jianjun and his group as they carried so many things.
After all, the resources here are not as abundant as those in Jianjun's area, and naturally, it is not as wealthy.
As we passed by the villages, many people came out to watch the spectacle.
Everyone wanted to know whose relative had come; they looked so wealthy. Some curious people had already started asking around.
"Which village are you from? Whose house are you visiting? You all look unfamiliar to me."
"We're going to Qianjin Village to find Old Guo's house. Do you know the way, Auntie?"
"I know, I know, just keep going straight, and you'll reach their village."
"You've all come to visit relatives, huh? Look how well these kids have grown, and how tall they are."
"Thank you, Auntie. We've just come back to visit."
When they arrived at Qianjin Village, everyone had nothing else to do, so they all looked at Jianjun.
"Uncle, are you looking for someone? I can show you the way."
Jianjun looked up and saw that the speaker was a 10-year-old boy wearing patched clothes.
"Okay, I'm going to the Guo family now. Thank you."
The little boy nodded and led them forward, since they hadn't been back for so long and didn't even know where they were.
"This is it. I'm going back now."
Jianjun looked at the little boy and was reminded of Chengcai, that child.
"Wait, thank you for showing us the way. This is for you."
Jianjun held 10 pieces of candy in his hand. He knew that these 10 pieces of candy would be very attractive to the child.
The little boy pursed his lips and shook his head; this was too precious for him.
"Thank you, Uncle, but I'm just showing you the way; I don't need such nice things."
Hearing him say that, Jianjun and Tingting both felt the child's simplicity and kindness.
Jianjun put the candy in his pocket and said to him, "Thank you for leading the way. Otherwise, we don't know how long it would have taken us to find it."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Gousheng."
"Okay, thank you."
Gou Sheng nodded and ran away, knowing they didn't need his help anymore.
Afraid that the candy in his pocket would melt, Gousheng ran particularly fast. His family wasn't very wealthy, and he hadn't eaten candy for many years. He planned to take it back for his younger sister to try.
Jianjun watched the child run away without saying anything or making any attempt to help him.
There are many children who suffer hardship, but their abilities are limited; they can only do their best to express kindness.
No matter how much he does, he can't change much. He can only hope that in the future he will have the ability to do something for them and improve their current lives.
