Before leaving, the grandmother passed Gu Qichen a bag, inside was a pair of handmade cotton shoes: "These are for you. I was supposed to work on them for another two days, but since you're leaving so suddenly, I managed to finish them last night. I don't know if they'll fit."
Xia Yangyang had never seen Gu Qichen so happy before.
He immediately put the shoes on and ran around the yard like a child: "Grandma, they fit perfectly, thank you."
He refused to take them off after that.
The grandmother was also quite happy.
She stood by the doorway as we left.
Looking at the old woman leaning against the door frame in the rearview mirror, Gu Qichen said to Xia Yangyang, "I think Grandma is too lonely, why don't we bring her to the city with us? She can live with us."
