As if by magic, Liu Feng pulled out a small bottle of amber-colored wine from his pocket—Amber Wine.
When Great-Grandpa saw the wine, his eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
This is indeed a rare and excellent wine!
He glanced at Liu Feng, then at He Qunfang, and finally nodded firmly: "Alright, alright, let's go take a look. But I mustn't cause any trouble for my grandson with these old bones of mine."
Liu Feng happily handed the amber wine to his great-grandfather, thinking: Now that I've won over my great-grandfather, the rest will be easy.
He Qunfang smiled as she watched Liu Feng use fine wine to impress He Jun.
Then, Liu Feng said to his maternal grandparents, "Grandpa, Grandma, I came here this time to take you both with me. If you are satisfied, I hope you can stay. Your grandson is capable of supporting you..."
Grandpa and Grandma looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
I was both moved and gratified.
But they couldn't bear to leave their hometown, the brick houses and the dozen or so acres of fertile land.
These are all the fruits of their two generations of hard work.
Grandpa smiled and politely declined, saying, "We're old, we don't want to go anywhere, we just want to stay in our hometown, that's when we feel at ease. If you have time, come back and visit often, we'll be satisfied."
Liu Feng understands the thoughts of their generation.
He said with even greater sincerity, “Grandpa and Grandma, you are my dearest relatives. Now that your grandson wants to show his filial piety, please don’t refuse. I’ve decided to take you all there tomorrow morning. As for whether you want to stay, we can decide when we get there!”
Grandpa looked at Liu Feng's eager eyes, then turned to look at He Jun.
He Jun nodded slightly, recalling the scene when he took Liu Feng to Qingfeng Temple for medical treatment years ago. Who could have imagined that the child who was almost paralyzed in all four limbs back then has now grown into a handsome young man.
Since Liu Feng insisted, they couldn't let him down. Visiting the county town would be fine, but their hometown would always be their roots, and they couldn't abandon it.
So He Jun slowly said, "Alright, since your children and grandchildren have this intention, you should all go. But if you all leave, who will stay behind to look after the house?"
Grandma said, "You all go ahead, I'll take care of things at home."
He Qunfang said, "Mom, you have to go too. My younger sister lives nearby, I'll ask her to come and help look after the house for a couple of days."
As noon approached, the sunlight became even brighter.
The aroma of mutton in the kitchen grew stronger and stronger, and everyone's stomachs began to rumble.
Grandma greeted everyone with a smile, "The mutton will be ready soon, everyone please wait a little longer."
The younger uncle helped set up the tables and chairs.
A little while later, Grandma came out carrying a large pot of steaming hot pot with mutton and vermicelli, along with some other home-style dishes. Everyone sat around the table and began to enjoy this delicious lunch.
The lamb was tender and juicy, and the glass noodles were smooth and delicious; everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.
On this warm winter day, the family sat together, their laughter echoing in the yard.
Great-grandfather He Jun patted Liu Feng on the shoulder, his eyes full of praise: "Feng'er, you've made something of yourself. You know how to respect your elders. Our He family is truly blessed to have you."
After the meal, He Qunfang eagerly began clearing the dishes, and her pregnant aunt also helped out. Meanwhile, her great-grandfather sat in the courtyard, enjoying the warm winter sun.
Seeing everyone so happy and joyful, Liu Feng felt a surge of happiness and contentment.
This is just the beginning. A happy future for the family is slowly unfolding...
