Seeing Li Xiu's faint, silent smile, Grandma Li instantly understood. The kids in the family who were away at school must have written to tell him. The siblings were all so close, and the younger ones were fiercely protective of their big brother.
"Grandma, we have to head back tomorrow," Li Xiu said with a sigh, a hint of reluctance in his voice. "The next time we'll be back is for the grave-sweeping during the New Year." This white-haired grandmother before him had protected him for two lifetimes.
"Alright. Drive slowly on the road and be safe," Grandma Li said with a smile. "If you miss me, write me a letter. Your younger siblings are all happy to read them to me and help me write back." 'I'll be just fine! I still have to look after this home for my eldest grandson!'
