Xia Liang smiled and said to her grandparents, "Don't worry, consider this money as being kept safe for me. I'll be able to earn more money in the future, and our family's life will get better and better." Her eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if telling her grandparents that she was ready to take on the family's financial responsibilities and create a better future with her hardworking hands and clever mind.
Seeing his granddaughter's resolute expression, Grandpa Xia's worries gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and pride. He nodded gently, carefully put the envelope containing 20,000 yuan away in a safe place. He knew that this money was not just a royalty payment, but also the result of Xia Liang's hard work and a promise she made to her family.
From that day on, Xia Liang devoted herself even more diligently to writing. She knew she carried the expectations of her grandparents and the hopes of her family. She carefully observed the little things in life, recording every touching moment with her pen, striving to create more excellent works. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would surely realize her dream and enable her grandparents to live a happier and healthier life.
Xia Liang's grandparents were even more supportive of her writing career. They created a quiet and comfortable environment for her to create, trying their best not to disturb her work. In terms of daily life, they took meticulous care of Xia Liang, allowing her to devote herself wholeheartedly to her writing. The whole family was united, working together to achieve their shared goals for a better life.
Over the next period, Xia Liang, through his writing talent and tireless efforts, brought money home several times. Each time his grandparents saw the money Xia Liang brought back, they were overjoyed, as if they were in a dream. In an era when the average income was only around 1,000 yuan, Xia Liang's ability to bring home so much money was truly remarkable. This not only filled the elderly couple with pride for Xia Liang but also gave them new hope and anticipation for life.
Xia Liang knew all too well the sacrifices and hardships her grandparents had endured for the family. She felt sorry for their daily struggles at work, so she persuaded them to stop working and stay home to rest and recover. She told them that she could now earn enough through writing to support the family and free them from the worries of making ends meet. Xia Liang's words were filled with determination and confidence; she hoped her grandparents could enjoy the peace and happiness they deserved in their later years.
Although Grandpa and Grandma were a little reluctant to let her go, seeing how capable Xia Liang was, they gradually let go of their worries. They began to enjoy the peaceful time at home. Grandpa would trim the flowers and plants in the yard, while Grandma would do some simple housework. They no longer needed to struggle for a living and could instead enjoy life in peace and focus on their health. Whenever Xia Liang came home, they would warmly welcome her, prepare delicious meals for her, and the family would gather together happily, enjoying the rare time of family reunion.
Xia Liang threw herself into writing even harder, knowing that her efforts were not only for her own dreams but also to provide a better life for her grandparents. She carefully observed the little things in life, recording every touching moment with her pen, striving to create more excellent works. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would surely realize her dreams and allow her grandparents to live a happier and healthier life. At the same time, she constantly reminded herself to maintain a humble and grateful attitude, cherish everything she had, and take each step in life with a down-to-earth attitude.
When Xia Liang's novel was finally finished, she received another substantial sum of royalties. This time, she had a clear plan in mind. She wanted to use the money to buy her grandparents a house of their own, so they could enjoy their later years in a more comfortable and convenient environment.
Xia Liang knew perfectly well that her grandparents were getting old and were bound to experience some minor health problems. The medical conditions in the city were relatively better; both the hospital facilities and the doctors' professional expertise were far superior to those in the countryside. If her grandparents had their own house in the city, it would be much more convenient and faster for them to see a doctor if they had a headache or fever, instead of having to travel back and forth and delay their treatment as before.
In addition, Xia Liang also considered that living in the city would allow her grandparents to enjoy a wider range of community activities and convenient services. They could participate in various senior activities, make more friends, and make their lives more fulfilling and joyful. Moreover, Xia Liang's studies and writing at school would make it easier for her to visit and care for her grandparents, and the family would have more opportunities to reunite.
So, Xia Liang began actively searching for suitable housing. She used her spare time and online resources to inquire and compare options, hoping to find a house that met her grandparents' needs and was reasonably priced. She took her grandparents to see houses, patiently listening to their opinions and suggestions, striving to find them an ideal home.
After finally settling on a house and completing the necessary paperwork, Xia Liang moved into her new home with her grandparents. Seeing their happy smiles as they settled in, Xia Liang felt a deep sense of satisfaction and pride. She knew that this gift, earned through her hard work and dedication, was the best reward and blessing she could offer her grandparents. Her grandparents, in turn, strengthened their trust and support for Xia Liang, believing she would achieve even greater success in the future.
