The children of the Shuangshan Brigade felt uncomfortable and scarcely spoke.
Now seeing Kong Yuanyuan not looking down on them, their faces bloomed with joy.
All were innocent kids, without so many ill intentions.
Soon, a group of children were playing together happily.
Kong Fangren rarely saw his daughter this happy, his mouth curving into a smile, eyes full of affection.
When Lin Lu learned that they came to express gratitude to Tangtang and Zhicheng, he saw the crowd was too large, so he invited Kong Fangren and his party to his home.
"Comrade Kong, there's always someone watching in the village, let the children play, let's not stand here anymore, come to my house for a drink of water," he said.
Kong Fangren nodded, "Okay, thank you, fellow villager."
The group headed towards the Lin family home.
Two tall youths carrying large and small bags closely followed behind Kong Fangren.
