Returning from his trip, He Ruizhe came home full of joy and accomplishment. Excitedly, he took out the carefully selected seashells from his small backpack. These seashells shimmered with a pearly luster under the sunlight; they were treasures he had picked out one by one from the beach.
"Grandpa and Grandma, this is a gift I brought for you. I picked up these seashells myself!" He Ruizhe's little face was filled with pride and joy as he handed the seashells to Huang Haitang and He Zhiyi.
Huang Haitang and He Zhiyi accepted their grandson's gift with kind smiles. They were deeply moved by He Ruizhe's thoughtfulness. Huang Haitang gently stroked her grandson's head: "Ruize, thank you. Grandma loves these seashells. They are so beautiful."
He Zhiyi nodded in approval: "Ruize, you are such a thoughtful child. We will keep these seashells safe."
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan stood to the side, watching this heartwarming scene, their hearts filled with warmth and happiness. They knew that these seashells were not just souvenirs from their trip, but also an expression of He Ruizhe's love and gratitude for his family.
"Ruize, do you still have seashells to give to your grandparents?" Gu Yunxi asked gently.
He Ruizhe nodded seriously: "Yes, Mom. I saved some of the prettiest seashells for them. Next time we go to Grandma's house, I want to give them to them myself."
He Siyan added with a smile, "Then we'll find a weekend and take you to your grandma's house to give the seashells to your grandpa and grandma."
He Ruizhe jumped up with joy: "That's great! I'll give them the prettiest seashells; they'll definitely love them."
The following weekend, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan took He Ruizhe back to Xia Liang's house. As soon as the little guy entered, he couldn't wait to take out the seashells he had prepared for his grandparents and hand them to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao.
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao were filled with emotion and joy upon seeing their grandson's gift. Xia Liang picked up He Ruizhe and said gratefully, "Ruize, thank you. Grandma loves these seashells so much. They will be Grandma's most precious collection."
Gu Yanxiao smiled and said, "Ruize, you are such a sensible and good child. Grandpa is also very happy to receive your gift."
Nestled in Xia Liang's arms, He Ruizhe listened to his grandparents' praise, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. He knew that these seashells were not just material gifts, but also a bridge for emotional exchange between him and his family.
This trip not only gave He Ruizhe wonderful memories, but also taught him how to express love and care for his family. The seashells his family received have become their warmest memories and most precious treasures.
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao received seashells from He Ruizhe at home. These small gifts from the seaside not only carried their grandson's sentiments but also made them feel the warmth and happiness of family.
Gu Yanxiao took the seashells from He Ruizhe and carefully observed their unique textures and luster. He smiled and said to He Ruizhe, "Ruize, these seashells are so beautiful. You are such a thoughtful child. Your grandparents will definitely treasure them."
Xia Liang gently stroked her grandson's head: "Ruize, we appreciate your thoughtfulness. These seashells will remind us of the wonderful times we spent together."
Hearing his grandparents' praise, He Ruizhe's face lit up with a proud and satisfied smile. He said happily, "I knew you would like it. I searched for a long time on the beach before I found these most beautiful seashells."
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene, their hearts filled with gratitude. Gu Yunxi said to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao, "Mom and Dad, we are very pleased to see Ruize so sensible. Thank you for your love and guidance all this time."
Gu Yanxiao nodded, his eyes revealing trust and pride in his son and daughter-in-law: "Yunxi, Siyan, this is all thanks to your excellent upbringing. We only provided some assistance."
Xia Liang added, "Yes, the children's growth is inseparable from your efforts. We only did our part."
Afterwards, the family sat around in the living room, sharing their interesting stories and experiences from the trip. He Ruizhe excitedly recounted what he saw and heard at the beach, and how he selected seashells. Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao listened with great interest, occasionally letting out knowing smiles.
Gu Yanxiao suggested, "Next time, our whole family can go to the beach together to enjoy the beauty of nature and give us a better understanding of Ruize's growth."
Xia Liang also agreed: "That's a great idea. Our whole family will definitely have many wonderful memories traveling together."
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan smiled at each other. They knew that harmony and happiness in a family were built on mutual understanding, support, and creating beautiful memories together.
As the last rays of the setting sun bathed the dining table, He Siyan, Gu Yunxi, and He Ruizhe, a family of three, enjoyed a warm dinner at Xia Liang's home. Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao's meticulous preparation made the meal feel like home, with each dish a token of their love for their family.
At the dinner table, everyone chatted casually, sharing their daily lives and interesting anecdotes. He Ruizhe excitedly recounted his experiences at school and the happy times he had with his friends. Gu Yunxi and Gu Yanxiao listened attentively, occasionally joining the discussion to offer their son encouragement and advice.
Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao also shared stories from their youth, allowing Gu Yunxi and He Siyan to feel the weight of their family history and the warmth of kinship. These stories not only enhanced understanding among family members but also gave He Ruizhe a deeper understanding of his own family background.
After dinner, the family continued chatting in the living room, enjoying the peaceful evening. He Ruizhe played with his toys on the carpet, occasionally glancing up at the adults, listening to their conversation, and feeling the harmony and happiness of the family.
As night deepened, He Siyan checked the time and said to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, we should take Ruizhe home so he can get some rest."
Gu Yunxi nodded and turned to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao: "Mom and Dad, we are really happy today, thank you for your hospitality."
Xia Liang smiled and replied, "Silly child, why are you being so polite with your parents? You're welcome to come back anytime."
He Siyan also expressed his gratitude to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao: "Mom and Dad, thank you. We'll come to see you again next time."
The family of three bid farewell to Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao and embarked on their journey home. The car drove slowly through the night. He Ruizhe leaned on Gu Yunxi's shoulder, already fast asleep, a contented smile on his face.
Gu Yanxiao and Gu Yunxi smiled at each other. They knew that such family time was priceless. It not only made He Ruizhe feel the warmth of family, but also made them, as parents, cherish every moment with their child.
Back home, He Siyan and Gu Yunxi gently placed He Ruizhe on the bed and covered him with a blanket. Standing by the bed, looking at their son's peaceful sleeping face, their hearts were filled with love and beautiful expectations for the future.
