It turns out that Grandpa Gu Zhongyun and Grandma Wang Yumei have been childhood sweethearts since they were young.

In the turbulent period of the Republic of China, their feelings were like a quietly blooming flower, beautiful and pure.

The two grew up together in a quiet little village, spending every day together, and their feelings for each other grew unknowingly.

After the elders in the family saw into their affection, they arranged a marriage for them with great fanfare.

However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on them. After three years of marriage, Grandma Yumei still had no sign of pregnancy.

Finally, a western doctor who had returned from studying abroad diagnosed my grandmother with infertility, or what the villagers called a "stone girl."

At that time, the monogamous marriage law had not yet been widely implemented. Seeing this, Grandpa Zhongyun's family began to work on marrying him another wife to continue the family line.

Grandpa Zhongyun was strongly opposed to this. He only loved Grandma Yumei in his life, but he could not overcome the pressure from his family elders.

In the end, out of his deep affection and protection for Grandma Yumei, he resolutely took her and fled the familiar little village.

They found a place to stay in the countryside outside the city. They lived a childless life, but they leaned on each other and walked through the long years hand in hand.

Just now, when grandma saw Li Anquan enthusiastically chopping firewood for them, her heart was suddenly filled with endless emotion and sadness.

There was a deep desire in her eyes. How wonderful it would be to have a child around.

After Li Anquan and He Yushui listened quietly to Grandpa Gu's story, they both fell into deep thought.

He Yushui has always been sentimental. At this moment, her eyes gradually became moist and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

She turned around and slowly walked into the house, thinking only of how to comfort Grandma Yumei.

Li Anquan was also filled with melancholy at the moment, not knowing how to comfort Grandpa Gu. He slowly squatted beside Grandpa Gu, his expression full of concern.

Grandpa Gu glanced at Li Anquan, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly:

"Young man, you don't know, Yumei has been a kind and gentle girl since she was a child. She has always been considerate of others."

"Even if she was wronged, she endured it silently. After getting married, she managed the household in an orderly manner."

"After she found out she couldn't have children, she cried all day, feeling that she had let me down and had wasted my life."

"She always thought that it was because of her that I had to live a wandering life and had no children."

"But she doesn't know that without her, I don't want to live at all."

Grandpa Gu's words are filled with deep love and care for Grandma Yumei.

At this moment, Grandma Yumei also came out, her eyes also filled with tears.

She walked to Grandpa Gu with slightly trembling steps and held Grandpa Gu's hand tightly.

Li Anquan felt a pang of sadness when he saw the two old men so sad. He gently held Grandpa Gu's hand and sincerely comforted him:

"Grandpa, being able to be with the one you love for a lifetime is enough to overcome all difficulties."

After listening to Li Anquan's words, Grandpa Gu nodded slightly and said in agreement:

"Yes, young man, that's what I thought. But now I'm afraid that if I go first, the old woman will be left alone."

His words were full of concern and reluctance for Grandma Yumei. They had walked through a long time together, and this deep affection seemed even more touching at this moment.

Li Anquan and He Yushui looked at the two old people and were deeply touched by their love.

After thinking for a moment, Li Anquan gently pulled Grandpa Gu into the house, came to Grandma Yumei, and said sincerely:

"Grandpa and grandma, my sister and I are going to Tianjin to take the train to Jianye Farm."

"Why don't you come with us? We will take care of you from now on."

When Grandpa Gu heard Li Anquan's suggestion, he slowly shook his head and said to him earnestly:

"Young man, seeing that you are dressed simply, you must be going out to explore the world. We are old and can't stand the hardship, so we won't cause you any trouble."

Li Anquan listened to Grandpa Gu's words and felt that they made sense. He stood there, thinking carefully about the current situation.

After a while, he made a decision.

"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Yumei, to be honest, my name is Wang Jianguo. My sister and I did go out of town to make a living."

"But please believe me, I will come to pick you up after I settle down there. I will never let you die alone."

[For the sake of convenience, Li Anquan will be referred to by the pseudonym Wang Jianguo in the following articles.]

Wang Jianguo made this promise to the two elders sincerely. On the one hand, he was deeply impressed by the two elders' loyalty to love.

They never left each other in difficult times and walked through the long years hand in hand. Wang Jianguo admired this deep bond.

On the other hand, he also wanted to repay them for the meal and the ride.

Wang Jianguo knew very well that the warmth given by the two old people during this strange journey was so precious.

He secretly made up his mind to work hard to be able to take care of the two elderly people as soon as possible so that they could live a stable and happy life in their later years.

Grandpa Gu nodded slightly to Wang Jianguo and said slowly:

"I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that after I die, you can come and keep her company and don't let her be too lonely."

After saying this, Grandpa Gu sighed and continued:

"Okay, let's not talk about these sad things. Hurry up and pack up, let's go, I have to try to get back before dark."

After hearing this, Wang Jianguo said nothing more. He silently went back to the house, took the bag, put it on the ox cart, and then helped Grandpa Gu harness the ox cart.

He Yushui and Grandma Yumei said goodbye to each other reluctantly. They hugged each other tightly, their eyes full of reluctance.

After a while, He Yushui got on the ox cart, his heart full of emotion. They were about to embark on the journey to Tianjin.

However, this brief experience at their grandparents' house was deeply imprinted in their hearts, becoming a warm and unforgettable memory of their journey.

The journey was long and the three of them traveled for several hours before finally arriving in Tianjin.

At the entrance of the train station, Wang Jianguo, He Yushui and Grandpa Gu said goodbye. Wang Jianguo stood there in a daze.

His eyes were fixed on Grandpa Gu's receding back, and he fell into a long silence.

Unconsciously, his eyes were moist. He Yushui keenly noticed Wang Jianguo's abnormality and asked with concern:

"Brother Jianguo, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

When Wang Jianguo heard the question, he quickly reached out to wipe away his tears and pretended to be calm and said:

"It's okay, let's go and buy tickets."

Then, he took the lead and walked towards the ticket office. The two of them quickly bought two tickets to Beidahuang.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo's heart is still full of concern for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Yumei.

He secretly swore in his heart that once he settled down in the new place, he would fulfill his promise and take care of the two elderly people.

He Yushui looked at Wang Jianguo's worried look and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that their future life would be smooth.

At the same time, I also hope that Grandpa Gu and Grandma Yumei can be healthy and safe and enjoy their old age.
