As night fell, Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe ended their day at the zoo. Back home, He Ruizhe was immediately drawn to the encyclopedia about animals. He sat on the living room carpet, intently flipping through each page.
Seeing his son so fascinated, Gu Yanxiao smiled and said to Gu Yunxi, "It seems you chose the right gift; Ruize really likes it."
Gu Yunxi nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart: "Yes, seeing him so happy makes me feel that everything is worthwhile."
At dinner, the Gu family sat around the table, sharing their experiences and joys of the day. Although Gu Weiguo was still recovering, he seemed to be in much better spirits.
"Ruize, did you see any interesting animals at the zoo today?" Gu Weiguo asked, his voice full of love for his great-grandson.
He Ruizhe excitedly replied, "Great-Grandpa, I saw so many animals! There were elephants, giraffes, monkeys, and lions. I also learned a lot about them."
Gu Weiguo nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Ruize, learning is very important. You must continue to maintain your curiosity and become a knowledgeable person in the future."
After dinner, Gu Yunxi helped He Ruizhe wash up so he could get some rest. She knew that children needed plenty of rest to stay energetic and healthy.
"Ruize, did you have fun today?" Gu Yunxi asked softly by the bedside.
He Ruizhe nodded, his eyes sparkling with happiness: "Mom, I'm so happy today. Thank you and Dad for taking me to the zoo."
Gu Yunxi gently stroked her son's hair: "You're welcome, Ruize. As long as you're happy, we're satisfied."
The next day, Gu Yunxi decided to hold a family meeting to discuss how to better care for the health of family members and to develop some healthy living plans.
"I think we should have regular physical examinations and encourage everyone to develop good lifestyle habits," Gu Yunxi proposed at the meeting.
Gu Yanxiao also agreed: "I agree. We can also participate in some outdoor activities together, such as hiking or cycling. This will not only help us exercise, but also strengthen our family bonds."
Gu Weiguo also offered his suggestion: "I suggest that we set up a health corner at home, with some health books and fitness equipment, to remind everyone to pay attention to their health."
Family members offered their ideas and suggestions, and ultimately developed a family health plan. They decided to start with themselves, begin with small things, and work together to make their home a healthier and happier haven.
In the days that followed, the Gu family began to put their health plan into practice. They participated in outdoor activities together, learned about health, and encouraged and supported each other. The atmosphere at home became more harmonious, and everyone's mental state improved.
Gu Weiguo's hospitalization, while causing some trouble, also gave the Gu family an opportunity to re-examine their family and health. They realized that as long as the family is united, there is nothing they cannot overcome.
After staying at her parents' home for a while, Gu Yunxi took her son, He Ruizhe, to the hospital to visit Gu Weiguo every day. Now, seeing that Gu Weiguo's health has improved significantly, she is filled with relief and gratitude.
“Grandpa, you’re much better now, and Ruizhe and I can go home with peace of mind.” Gu Yunxi said to Gu Weiguo during a visit, her voice revealing a sense of relief and ease.
Gu Weiguo nodded, a kind smile on his face: "Yunxi, you've worked hard these past few days. Go home and get some rest, and let Ruize return to its own little world."
He Ruizhe stood aside. Although he didn't quite understand what the adults were saying, he could feel the warmth of the family and the joy of his grandfather's recovery: "Great-Grandpa, you should continue to rest well. Mom and I will come to see you again."
Gu Weiguo smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, Great-Grandpa will."
After saying goodbye to Gu Weiguo, Gu Yunxi took He Ruizhe back to her cozy home. As soon as they entered, He Ruizhe excitedly ran to his room, where he found his familiar toys, bed, and his beloved pet.
"Mom, we're home!" He Ruizhe cheered in the room, his little face beaming with happiness and excitement.
Looking at her son's happy face, Gu Yunxi felt a long-lost sense of peace and contentment. She knew that home was the warmest harbor for children and the cradle of their growth.
After returning home, Gu Yunxi began to throw herself back into her work and family life. She arranged the daily affairs of the family, while also continuing to pay attention to Gu Weiguo's recovery, often communicating with Xia Liang by phone.
"Xia Liang, how is Grandpa now?" Gu Yunxi asked over the phone.
Xia Liang replied, "He's recovering very well. The doctors say his condition is stable. Don't worry, everything is fine at home."
Gu Yunxi nodded in relief: "That's good. If you need my help, just let me know."
In the days that followed, Gu Yunxi and He Ruizhe's lives gradually returned to normal. They enjoyed the warmth of family and the peace of daily life, while also making sure to visit Gu Weiguo's family home often to share the little things in life.
This experience made Gu Yunxi cherish family time even more. She knows that no matter how busy life is, the health and happiness of her family is always the most important thing.
That morning, the sun shone brightly, and He Ruizhe's mood was even brighter than the sunshine. His school was about to hold its annual sports meet, and he had signed up for two events—the team tug-of-war and the individual sprint—making it his first time participating in the sports meet.
"Dad, Mom, you must come to my sports meet!" He Ruizhe's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and his voice was full of excitement and pride.
Infected by their son's enthusiasm, Gu Yunxi and He Siyan smiled at each other and replied in unison, "Of course, we will definitely go, Ruize."
He Ruizhe skipped and hopped to his grandparents, took their hands, and emphasized again, "Grandpa, Grandma, you must come too!"
He Zhiyi and Huang Haitang were filled with warmth and joy as they watched their grandson's excited expression. He Zhiyi stroked He Ruizhe's head and said affectionately, "Ruize, don't worry, we'll all be there to cheer you on."
Huang Haitang added with a smile, "Yes, Ruize, Grandma will also prepare some snacks for you so you'll have more energy for the competition."
Upon hearing this, He Ruizhe's smile widened even more. He knew that his family's support was his greatest motivation.
Not only that, He Ruizhe even called Xia Liang and said in his childish voice, "Grandma, you, Grandpa, and Auntie all have to come to my sports meet!"
Hearing her grandson's request on the other end of the phone, Xia Liang felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled and agreed, "Okay, Ruize, Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie will all be there. We'll all be there to cheer you on."
Hearing his grandmother's promise, He Ruizhe jumped up with joy: "Great, Grandma! I'll run really fast and I'll give it my all in the tug-of-war!"
On the day of the sports meet, He Ruizhe put on his school uniform, his number plate gleaming in the sunlight. His little face was full of determination and anticipation; he knew this would be a great opportunity for him to showcase himself.
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan arrived at the school's sports field early, their eyes searching for their son in the crowd. Seeing He Ruizhe warming up with the other children filled them with pride.
"Siyan, look at Ruizhe's earnestness, it's really touching," Gu Yunxi said softly, her eyes filled with love.
He Siyan nodded, his gaze firm: "Yes, Yunxi. Our son has grown up, and he is learning how to face challenges."
As the sports meet began, He Ruizhe participated in the sprint. He dashed off the starting line like an arrow, running towards the finish line with all his might. Gu Yunxi and He Siyan cheered him on from the stands, their applause and cheers giving He Ruizhe boundless strength.
During the tug-of-war, He Ruizhe and his teammates worked together as one, their faces filled with determination and courage. Gu Weiguo and Han Yulan cheered them on from the sidelines, their encouragement making He Ruizhe feel the warmth and support of his family.
Xia Liang, Gu Yanxiao, and Gu Yuanzhi also arrived at the scene, which made He Ruizhe even more excited. He knew that the companionship and support of his family was his greatest treasure.
After the sports meet, He Ruizhe was panting heavily, but his face was beaming with satisfaction and joy. He ran to his family and excitedly said, "Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa on both sides, Auntie, I ran really fast today, and we won the tug-of-war too!"
Gu Yunxi and He Siyan hugged their son tightly, their hearts filled with pride and joy: "Ruize, you did a fantastic job today, we are all so proud of you."
He Ruizhe's first sports meet not only allowed him to experience the joy of sports and the excitement of competition, but also made him deeply feel the love and support of his family. This day will become one of the most precious parts of his childhood memories.
