"Yes, Miss Jin!" After saying that, she picked up her large bag and went upstairs!
Li Jin took everything out of the large bag, and handed a famous painting to Old Master Yu. He had bought it from a merchant in Hong Kong! Old Master Yu took it, opened it, and his eyes lit up. Li Jin knew about it? Old Master Yu was sure he would love it!
She handed another box to Yu Zhenzhen and said, "Mom, this is a watch I bought for you. I saw that your watch was getting old, so let's get this one!" Yu Zhenzhen happily took it, then carefully opened it and looked inside, saying, "This watch is so beautiful! The inside is beautiful too! Mom loves it, thank you, Xiaojin!"
Then Li Jin separated the other gifts and said, "Mom, these are for my eldest uncle, second uncle, second aunt, and a few of my brothers! Please give them to them for me, I have to go to Suzhou tomorrow."
Yu Zhenzhen readily agreed! "Okay, I'll give it to them when they get back, but won't you be too tired doing this?"
Grandpa Yu chimed in, "Why don't we have Moze go pick up your Grandpa Fu? You can rest at home for a few days!" Li Jin looked at Yu Zhenzhen and then at Grandpa Yu before speaking, "Grandpa, Mom, I also want to go and pay my respects to Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin. I'm getting married, so I should take Moze with me to let them see me!"
Grandpa Yu was somewhat moved and nodded, saying, "That's true. The Lin couple raised you, and they did nothing wrong! It's good that you have this intention. It's just that Suzhou is a long way away. Won't it be too tiring for Mo Ze to drive alone?"
Li Jin smiled and said, "Grandpa, I can drive too. We can take turns resting along the way!"
Yu Zhenzhen held Li Jin's hand and said, "Then you must be careful on the road. Let your family know you've arrived safely in Suzhou." Li Jin nodded to indicate that he understood.
After lunch, Li Jin went back to her room to rest. She slept until dark. Everyone in the family had already eaten, but Yu Zhenzhen asked Aunt Wu to leave some food for Li Jin. Li Jin ate dinner there.
She went back to her room and sat on the edge of the bed. She took out all the gifts she had brought for Grandpa Fu, her uncle, and her aunt from her storage space and carefully sorted them out!
Early the next morning, Gong Moze drove his car to the gate of the compound.
Grandpa Yu and Yu Zhenzhen prepared two large bags of food for the journey. The Gong family also prepared a lot of food, which was all kept in the car. Li Jin looked at the trunk, which was packed full, and felt both touched and helpless.
Li Jin and Gong Moze got into the car and said goodbye to everyone. Gong Moze skillfully started the car and slowly drove out of the compound. The winter sun shone on the car windows, adding a touch of warmth to the interior.
The car sped along the highway, the trees on either side rushing past. Li Jin gazed out the window, her thoughts drifting away. She remembered the days when the original owner of this body lived with Grandpa and Grandma Lin in Suzhou when she was a child. Back then, Grandpa Lin would always take her to the little shop at the end of the alley to buy sugar figurines, and Grandma Lin would cook delicious braised pork for her at home. Those simple yet beautiful times were her most precious childhood memories.
"Jin, what are you thinking about?" Gong Moze noticed Li Jin's absent-mindedness and asked softly. Li Jin came back to her senses, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes, "I'm thinking about my grandparents in Suzhou. They were very good to me when I was little, but they left us too early." Gong Moze reached out and held Li Jin's hand, comforting her, "If they saw you so happy now, they would be happy too."
