During the ten days of her business trip to Hai City, whenever there was enough time for rest back and forth, Zhou Jiao would always rush back to the village to accompany Grandpa Jiang, apart from visiting the Gu Family's ancestral tomb.
It's not about reciprocation, nor about money, but for the kindness and reluctance in the old man's eyes, and his tireless teachings on how to conduct oneself throughout life.
This grandparent-grandchild bond made her face full of tears the last time she left the village. Perhaps others couldn't understand why the old man was reluctant for his granddaughter to leave and yet didn't follow her to Beijing.
But Zhou Jiao understood…
Here was his lifelong beloved wife, the familiar sound of his hometown dialect, and the heart of a wanderer who had drifted a lifetime outside now finding peace.
This is the power of roots!
Just like her grandfather never left the motherland, she also never thought of immigrating overseas.
