As He Ruizhe's birthday party came to an end, his life gradually returned to its usual tranquility. However, the gifts sent from abroad by his aunt He Wanning became a heartwarming topic in his daily life.
Every day after school, He Ruizhe would take out the gift his aunt had given him and examine it closely. It was a beautiful world map jigsaw puzzle, each piece exquisitely detailed, which he cherished. Through these puzzles, He Ruizhe developed a strong interest in world geography.
"Mom, look! This is a jigsaw puzzle that my aunt gave me. I want to put it together and learn about different places in the world." He Ruizhe excitedly showed Gu Yunxi his "new world".
Gu Yunxi smiled and encouraged her son, "This is a great learning tool, Ruize. You can learn while playing and understand how vast and diverse our world is."
He Siyan joined their discussion: "Once you've finished putting all these puzzle pieces together, we can plan a family trip to see the countries you're interested in."
He Ruizhe's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Really, Dad? I want to go to many places and see different cultures and landscapes."
In the days that followed, accompanied by his parents, He Ruizhe embarked on his "world adventure." Together, they studied maps and learned about the customs and cultures of different countries and regions. He Ruizhe's curiosity was satisfied, and his worldview gradually expanded.
Meanwhile, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan were also considering how to respond to He Wanning's feelings. They decided to take He Ruizhe abroad to visit He Wanning during the upcoming holiday, so that she could also witness her nephew's growth and changes.
“Wan Ning, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. We plan to bring Rui Ze to visit you during the holidays this year. We hope you can see what he looks like now,” He Siyan said to his sister on the phone.
He Wan Ning was thrilled when she heard the news on the other end of the phone: "That's great, brother! I'm really looking forward to seeing Rui Ze. You guys have to come!"
As the holiday approached, He Ruizhe was filled with anticipation for his upcoming trip. He began learning simple foreign language greetings, preparing to surprise his aunt.
Finally, the family boarded a flight to an overseas destination. He Ruizhe gazed at the clouds outside the window, his heart filled with curiosity about the unknown world and longing for his aunt.
Upon arriving at their destination, He Ruizhe saw his long-lost aunt and greeted her in the foreign language he had just learned, which surprised and moved He Wanning.
“Auntie, this is a gift for you. It’s a world map that I put together using the puzzle pieces you gave me.” He Ruizhe handed He Wanning a world map that he had put together himself.
He Wan Ning accepted this special gift, her eyes welling up with tears: "Ruize, this is the most precious gift I have ever received, thank you."
In the following days, He Wanning took her family on a tour of her city, introducing them to her work and life. He Ruizhe saw many new things and experienced the charm of different cultures.
This trip not only deepened He Ruizhe's understanding of the world, but also allowed He Wanning to feel the warmth of family and the power of kinship. Although they live in different places, their hearts are always closely connected.
Gu Yunxi deeply understands the importance of "reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles." She firmly believes that the power of knowledge is just as important as practical experience. Therefore, every holiday, she carefully plans and takes time to travel with her son, He Ruizhe, to let him experience different cultures and environments firsthand.
Although He Siyan, as a soldier, sometimes couldn't accompany them due to his duties, Gu Yunxi never let the travel plans fall through. She would invite her younger sister, Gu Yuanzhi, and other close friends to join them, ensuring the trip was full of fun and companionship.
"Ruize, are you ready? We're about to embark on a new journey to explore new places," Gu Yunxi would always say to her son with great enthusiasm before setting off.
He Ruizhe's eyes sparkled with curiosity and longing for the unknown world: "Ready, Mom! I can't wait to see new scenery and learn more stories."
Their trips were full of educational value and family fun. Gu Yunxi would plan ahead, choosing places that were both educational and suitable for children. From historic museums to spectacular natural landscapes, from bustling cities to tranquil countryside, each trip was a brand new learning experience.
During their journey, Gu Yunxi encouraged He Ruizhe to maintain his curiosity and be brave enough to try new things. She would participate in local cultural activities with her son, taste authentic local cuisine, and learn about local customs and traditions.
"Mom, this world is so amazing!" He Ruizhe exclaimed after a trip.
Gu Yunxi smiled and replied, "Yes, Ruize, the world is vast, and we must continue to learn and explore."
Gu Yuanzhi and her friends also enjoyed participating in these trips, and their presence made the journeys more colorful. Sharing the little things from the trips strengthened parent-child relationships and taught He Ruizhe how to interact with people in different social environments.
Although He Siyan can't always travel with his family, he keeps in touch with them by phone and video, following their travel stories. He listens to their recounting of interesting events and what they learned on their journeys after they return.
"Yunxi, you did a great job, giving Ruizhe so many valuable experiences," He Siyan said to his wife on the phone, his heart filled with gratitude and pride.
Through these trips, Heruze not only broadened his horizons but also learned to adapt to different environments and cultures. He became more confident and independent, and these experiences will become valuable assets on his path to growth.
Continuing the story:
As the holiday came to an end, Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe returned home with a wealth of memories and new knowledge. He Ruizhe's experiences during his trip became valuable lessons he shared with his classmates at school.
"Mom, I told my classmates at school today about the pyramids we saw in Egypt, and they all listened with great interest," He Ruizhe excitedly told Gu Yunxi as he returned home from school.
Gu Yunxi replied with a smile, "That's great, Ruize. Sharing your travel stories not only broadens your horizons but also improves your communication skills."
He Ruizhe nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mom. I also told them that when I grow up, I want to be like you, go to more places, and learn more about the world."
Gu Yunxi gently stroked her son's head and encouraged him: "As long as you have a dream and study hard, you will be able to achieve it one day."
Meanwhile, He Siyan listened to his wife and son share their travel stories via video call from home. Although he couldn't participate in person, he felt the joy and meaning of travel through their words.
"Yunxi, Ruizhe, if I have the chance next time, I will definitely go with you." He Siyan expressed his expectations in the video.
Gu Yunxi nodded understandingly: "Siyan, we also hope that one day our whole family can travel together."
In the days that followed, Gu Yunxi began planning their next family trip. She hoped this trip would allow for a deeper experience of the local culture and lifestyle, and provide He Ruizhe with more learning opportunities.
"Ruize, how about we go on our next trip to a place with a rich history and culture, like some ancient cities in China?" Gu Yunxi asked her son for his opinion.
He Ruizhe's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Okay, Mom. I want to see ancient architecture and hear the stories there."
Gu Yunxi began preparations, researching materials, planning the itinerary, and even contacting local tour guides, hoping to provide He Ruizhe with an unforgettable cultural trip.
Upon learning of the travel plans, He Siyan actively participated, saying, "Yunxi, I can ask for leave in advance and try to arrange time to go with you."
Hearing her husband's words, Gu Yunxi was filled with gratitude: "Siyan, thank you. With you coming with us, this trip will definitely be even more perfect."
Soon after, the whole family embarked on a journey to an ancient city in China. During this trip, He Ruizhe not only saw ancient architecture firsthand but also learned a wealth of historical and cultural knowledge. He Siyan was also able to fulfill his wish to spend a holiday with his family; together they explored the streets and alleys of the ancient city and experienced the local customs and culture.
This trip not only deepened He Ruizhe's understanding of Chinese history and culture, but also strengthened the bond between his family. They spent unforgettable time together and created many wonderful memories.
