...
When the topic of their children coming home came up, the grandparents' wrinkles deepened with smiles.
The children who came to play with their grandparents lit up with their clear, bright eyes when they heard the news.
Peach Blossom couldn't help but take Xiao Ruanruan's hand, her clear eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Xiao Ruanruan, and said with a choked voice, "Xiao Ruanruan, thank you!"
Little Ruanruan used her soft little hands to squeeze Peach Blossom's hand back. Her big, beautiful eyes, like black grapes, smiled and turned into crescent moons. She raised her other little hand to wipe away Peach Blossom's tears. "Peach Blossom, don't cry. It's a good thing that Uncle and Aunt are coming back."
Just then, an old man who had just returned from town and rushed to the village chief's house handed Tao Hua a package and said, "Tao Hua, your father sent you something from the city. I just went to town to pick it up for you."
Tao Hua took the package from the grandfather and muttered in confusion, "Didn't Grandma say that Mom and Dad were coming back in a couple of days? Why are they sending things back?"
Despite her doubts, Peach Blossom opened the package anyway.

The transparent box looks very high-quality, and the chocolate pattern on the box is very tempting. The little golden balls inside the box make people imagine the wonderful taste of the chocolate inside.
Peach Blossom couldn't help but swallow, but she muttered in even greater confusion, "Why did Dad suddenly send me chocolate? I saw it in a TV commercial; this chocolate is really expensive..."
Although puzzled, Peach Blossom generously handed the chocolate, box and all, to Little Softie. "Little Softie, this is for you. It's because you came to our village that my parents were able to come back. Now I can be with my parents and don't have to be a left-behind child anymore."
Little Ruanruan did not refuse Tao Hua's thanks. She took a whole box of chocolates from Tao Hua, but after opening it, she only took out four pieces. One for each of her, her sister, her brother Su Lei, and her little brother was enough. The adults in the family did not need such snacks for children.
Peach Blossom didn't insist that Little Softie accept everything. She took the box and the remaining four chocolates that Little Softie handed back to her, and hugged them tightly in her arms, planning to take them out and eat them with her parents and grandparents when her parents came back in a couple of days.
