Sun Hongzheng came to Beijing to do business this time
I only brought three or four hundred dollars
Not much left after toll

Jia Yongting gave the old man 100 yuan

"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.

Under the insistence of Sun Hongzheng

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

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

They will use a note to mark what was sent.
Also written on the pomegranate, "sweet", "sour"

"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."

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"
