"Hmm."
Helian Qiao also raised her hand to stroke her grandma's hair, crooning in a childish voice, "Grandma should also be happy."
"Let's go!" Chen Jianjun called out, raising his hand to pat the sled's wooden plank.
Ma Xiulian stepped back a bit, her gaze lingering on little Guibao's figure.
As soon as Dabai started running, she could not help but tear up, feeling as if her heart had been ripped out.
"Grandpa! Grandma! Dad! I'll be back soon!" Helian Qiao turned her head and waved at them, her childish voice resounding loud and clear.
Ma Xiulian also cheerfully replied in a loud voice, "Okay! Grandma will be at home waiting for you to come back!"
The three of them stood at the door, watching until the sled disappeared from their sight.
Ma Xiulian took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, and took her hoe to go and work in the fields.
