Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua quickly took out the letter.
Two pieces of letter paper were filled with "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma". These names were repeated countless times, and at the end it was written that Chenchen was very well behaved, and Anan was very well behaved.
Although the words are crooked, you can still make out what is written.
The couple was so excited that they didn't know what to say. Chenchen was only four years old, but he could write so many words. Even if they raised their own children, it couldn't be better than this.
Jiang Shaoting wanted to say a few words of thanks, but when he got to his lips, he felt that the word thank you was too light.
Han Zhenyu saw that he was hesitant to speak, and understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang, I'm leaving soon and can't stay here for long. Let me talk to you about the two children."
"Okay, Zhenyu, sit down and talk." Jiang Shaoting put the quilt on the kang inside and pulled Han Zhenyu to sit down.
Gu Fanghua also quickly wiped away her tears and prepared to make a fire to boil water.
Han Zhenyu quickly stopped her and said, "Comrade Gu, please stop busying yourself. I just had a meal and I'm not thirsty."
Then I told them about the two kids and the interesting things that happened after I arrived at their home.
“…I told Chenchen that you were on a secret mission, and the little guy believed it. He is no longer as depressed as when he first came. Now he has made several friends in the village and is very happy every day.”
"Some time ago, they went to live with relatives at my grandma's house. There is not much work in the countryside in winter, so my grandpa and my uncle took them to play in the village every day, pulling them on a sled to compete with other children. The two little guys had a lot of fun. My wife missed them and asked me to pick them up, but they didn't come back yet. They said they hadn't stayed long enough and asked me to pick them up in a few days..."
Han Zhenyu told the two children every detail of their lives.
Then he made a solemn promise, "Comrade Jiang, Comrade Gu, don't worry, our whole family loves Chenchen and Anan very much and will definitely raise them to adulthood."
Jiang Shaoting held his hand and said, "Zhenyu, of course I believe you. Fang Hua and I are relieved to entrust the child to you."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "My friend came to me some time ago. He has some connections on the farm and said he would slowly find us a job. Our situation is much better now, so you don't have to worry about us. Don't come if you have nothing to do in the future."
Han Zhenyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I won't come here alone. If you have any questions, you can quietly tell Chen Yuanming and ask him to notify me. He and I are sworn brothers now, so you can trust him."
Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua knew that Han Zhenyu was so deliberate in building relationships with the people on the farm just to help them.
They both felt that the debt was too great, and they didn't know if they would have the chance to repay it in the future.
The three of them talked for a while, and Jiang Shaoting and Gu Fanghua wrote a long letter to the child and asked Han Zhenyu to help take it back.
Han Zhenyu put the letter in his arms and stood up to say goodbye.
Jiang Shaoting watched him walk away and then gently closed the door.
Gu Fanghua had already opened the pocket. On the top were four cans. She unscrewed the lids and took a look. They were all fried pork slices.
There was also a black jar filled with snow-white lard, about five or six pounds.
Below were two smaller bags, one containing four pairs of thick cotton shoes, two pieces of cloth, a few pairs of socks and a pile of needles and thread.
The other pocket contained fried noodles with lard, which looked to be about twenty or thirty pounds, with a dozen eggs on top.
The couple looked at these things in silence. If they gave them so much, they would definitely have to take care of Director Chen. They didn't know how much it would cost this time.
Gu Fanghua sighed, "Shao Ting, how can we repay such a big favor? If it were in the past, we could still find a way to make some compensation, but now..."
Jiang Shaoting saw that his wife was a little depressed, so he smiled and comforted her, "Cheer up, there will be opportunities in the future."
Gu Fanghua exhaled, looked at the things on the table and said, "Let mom and dad come over to eat something, and then you can send some to your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and your third brother, and show them the photos of Chenchen and An'an."
Some time ago, Mr. Jiang’s old subordinates came secretly and brought them a lot of things.
Gu Fangxun and Jiang Shaoting's playmates also came.
Not only did they bring them food and daily necessities, they also gave them money and tickets, so their lives during this period were much better than before.
Jiang Shaoting nodded and knocked on the right wall. After a while, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang came over wearing cotton coats.
Seeing the photos of their grandchildren, the two strong old people couldn't help but shed tears.
Mrs. Jiang held up the children's photos and said, "Look at Chenchen and An'an's little faces, and the clothes they are wearing, and you can tell that the two children have not been wronged."
"Dad, Mom, Zhenyu and his wife are all very good people. I believe in their character and they will not treat Chenchen and Anan unfairly."
Gu Fanghua pointed at the things on the table and sighed, "Han Zhenyu said that these things were prepared by his wife. I don't know how long she has saved up the meat and cloth coupons. Our family is in a situation that no one can escape. Not only did they take care of the children, they also helped us time and again. If it wasn't for the old friendship, what would they do?"
Old Madam Jiang nodded. "Yes, what a nice family. We can rest assured that Chenchen and An'an are following such a family."
Her eyes were red, and she stroked the photos of her grandchildren with her hands, looking at them without blinking.
Old Master Jiang took another one and stared at it intently, muttering, "My Chenchen An'an is so well behaved. Look at this chubby little face. How cute it is."
Jiang Shaoting took a few pairs of chopsticks and said, "Mom and Dad, these are fried pork slices. Please have some."
The two old people shook their heads. Mrs. Jiang said, "We drank malted milk tonight, so we won't eat. You two can eat it."
"Dad, Mom, try it, but eat a few less pieces."
Gu Fanghua stuffed the chopsticks into their hands and said to Jiang Shaoting, "Take a can and give it to the eldest brother, the eldest sister-in-law, and the third brother so that they can also satisfy their cravings. We can divide the rest tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Shaoting stuffed a can into his arms and quietly went out.
………
Han Zhenyu and Yan Daqiang rushed back overnight, and it was already early morning when they arrived at the factory.
The two of them were afraid of disturbing their family, so they stayed in the dormitory for one night.
The next day, Han Zhenyu went to the purchasing department to discuss some things and didn't go home until the afternoon.
It was almost dark when he rowed his sled to the entrance of the village.
Because this section of road had been cleared by the villagers, we couldn't use the sled and had to walk.
Han Zhenyu walked very fast. The road to the foot of the mountain did not pass through the village, so there were not many people.
But after he took a few steps, he saw a woman looking around in front of him. Because she was wearing a headscarf, Han Zhenyu couldn't see who she was.
But when that person saw him, she walked towards him with her hips swaying. Even though she was wearing a cotton coat and cotton pants, it couldn't stop her from shaking her hips coquettishly.
When the person came closer, Han Zhenyu took a closer look and found that it was Widow Liu.
