The last few days

Jia Yongting, who lives in Changsha, Hunan

I received another pomegranate from Shandong

from 2018

This is the fifth year in a row that she has received pomegranates

"June is cherry, October is pomegranate

November is peanuts…”

September 19, 2018, Beijing

an ordinary wednesday

Jia Yongting, 25, was busy until 9 p.m. to get off work

Helped Sun Hongzheng who came to ask for directions at the subway station

For the helpful Jia Yongting

She often does this

Sun Hongzheng remembered this day for 5 years

October 17, 2022

Jia Yongting on social media

Share the pomegranate I received in my 5th year

Some people say it's like a story from an elementary school text

The title should be "The Most Precious Gift"

September 19, 2018

It's 75-year-old Sun Hongzheng

The third day that I came to Beijing from Laizhou, Shandong alone to work on business

In a busy subway station, he got lost again

At this time, Jia Yongting happened to pass by.

to ask about the situation

learned during the conversation

Sun Hongzheng came to Beijing to do business this time

I only brought three or four hundred dollars

Not much left after toll

haven't found a place to stay at night

Jia Yongting gave the old man 100 yuan

and left his phone number

"If you have anything in Beijing, call me!"

Jia Yongting forgot about it that night

Half a month later, she received a call from Shandong

The call was from Sun Hongzheng.

he said he went home

I will never forget Jia Yongting

send her something

Jia Yongting can't refuse

Under the insistence of Sun Hongzheng

gave him his company address

Sun Hongzheng has seven or eight pomegranate trees

He picked and picked and picked the largest 8

There are two acres of peanuts at home

Packed with three small bags of peeled peanut kernels

There's nothing else right now

He added 4 big pears from relatives

Fearing that the fruit would be crushed, he cut off a few branches

Nail into a four-corner frame and put it in the box

Finally wrote a letter and closed the box

Take it to town on a motorcycle and send it to Beijing

After receiving grandpa's gift

Jia Yongting immediately sent back some food.

"So he sent it to me, I sent it to him

One to two, sent for 5 years"

Sun Hongzheng is using an old man machine

He can't type, and his phone doesn't have a handwriting function

Every time I want to text Jia Yongting

Sun Hongzheng will ride a motorcycle

Go to a nearby store

Ask the staff to write the text he wrote on the paper

Edit it into a text message and send it to Jia Yongting

September 19, 2019

Sun Hongzheng sent text messages again to express his miss

Jia Yongting decides

Go to Shandong with friends to visit Sun Hongzheng

The day Jia Yongting arrived in Laizhou

Sun Hongzheng went to buy local seafood early in the morning

Put on a clean white vest

An army green short-sleeved shirt

Waited for an hour or two at the entrance of the village

Uncle Sun's family is very enthusiastic

At noon, Jia Yongting was arranged in

Eating in the small restaurant opened by Uncle Sun

A large table of dishes, the swimming crab is bigger than the human head

Jia Yongting and his party said, "I can't eat"

I persuaded the big fish that had not yet cooked.

Jia Yongting saw Uncle Sun's simple home

Looking at this sumptuous meal again, I feel bad in my heart

When parting, she left a red envelope to the old man

Before leaving, the old couple had tears in their eyes

Jia Yongting just wants to "leave quickly"

"I'm going to cry if I don't leave"

back to beijing

Couriers are coming more often than ever

Last year, Sun Hongzheng's grandson

Get him a smartphone

He learned to use WeChat

Every time I have something to say

Will write on paper and take pictures and send them to Jia Yongting

Sun Hongzheng sent something to Jia Yongting

They will use a note to mark what was sent.

Also written on the pomegranate, "sweet", "sour"

Jia Yongting sends things back

Sun Hongzheng will take pictures for her after receiving it

will write on the box

"Too much to finish" "Thank you"

Jia Yongting said, "I think grandpa is very cute"

On the wall of Sun Hongzheng's house

There is also a photo of Jia Yongting and her husband

Right next to Sun Hongzheng's family portrait

Jia Yongting said, "When I got married and had children

Old people give me red envelopes

I don't accept it, the old man keeps calling

Then I thought it was the old man's mind

Waiting for the grandson of the old man to hold the wedding next year

Our family of three will go to Shandong to visit them again."

The evening of October 20, 2022

Sun Hongzheng and his wife after sending pomegranates

Sitting under the lamp picking and picking

Packed up a box full of peanuts and sweet potatoes

To send to Jia Yongting

Talking about the interaction with Jia Yongting

Sun Hongzheng is a little embarrassed

"It's not a good thing anyway"

But he said, "Sweet potatoes are sweet

It means that my mood is also sweet"
