The villagers in the fields straightened up and looked around. When they saw it was Lei Tingjun, they laughed and called out, "Little Jun is back!"
Lei Tingjun responded, "Yes, Uncle Li, I've come back to visit."
"Come to our house for dinner later."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li."
The villagers of Xiahe Village are very simple and honest. Those who are a generation older than Lei Tingjun have basically watched him grow up and know that it has not been easy for him to make his way in the world alone all these years.
Since his grandmother fell seriously ill, Lei Tingjun has been supporting the family at a young age. He not only handled his grandmother's funeral by himself, but also paid back all the money he had borrowed from everyone for his grandmother's medical treatment.
He's come back less often these past few years, usually only once or twice a year, around the anniversary of his grandmother's death.
Unexpectedly, he even drove back this time!
Cars are a rare sight in mountain villages.
Lei Tingjun drove the two children into the village and back to his own yard.
The mud walls couldn't withstand the wind and rain, and the mud-tiled roof would be washed away and shift when it rained. After being vacant for several years, the kitchen inside the house was basically soaked and damp from leaks.
When Lei Tingjun's grandmother was still alive, she chopped up a lot of wood and piled it up neatly in the kitchen.
Lei Tingjun couldn't bear to see his grandmother's belongings destroyed, so every time he went home, he would climb a ladder onto the roof and repair the tiles.
Two children were circling around Lei Tingjun. Lei Tingjun took out a bag of candy from the back seat of the car, grabbed a handful, and gave it to the children: "Eat up."
The child unwrapped the candy, popped it into his mouth, and giggled.
Lei Tingjun bought these things at the market in the village.
There were also several bags of sugar in the car, including white sugar, rock sugar, and milk candy, plus a few bags of flour.
He was going back to his hometown, so naturally he wanted to visit some of his old neighbors in the village, who had helped Lei Tingjun and his grandmother when they were in trouble.
It can be said that Lei Tingjun grew up in the village, relying on the kindness of others, after losing his parents at a young age.
Lei Tingjun remembers every meal he eats at the east house and every meal he eats at the west house.
Lei Tingjun is a grateful person; if someone does him a little kindness, he will repay them a hundredfold.
Every time he came back, whether he had money or not, he would always buy something for the villagers as a token of his appreciation.
These items were specially purchased by Lei Tingjun for the villagers.
He knew that in their poor village, the rarest things for every household were sugar and wheat flour.
