In a corner of a mountain village, only dim lights accompanied the little boy named “Gong Ziming”.

“Ziming, it’s already so late, why don’t you go to bed?” When the old man got up at night, he saw that the lights in the house were still on.

“No, grandpa, the final exam is tomorrow.”

“You should also go to bed early for exams. Didn’t you always rank first in the class before?”

“It won’t work this time. Brother Liming said that as long as I still rank first in the class this time, he will take me to TV. Then my parents will see me.”

The old man’s heart tightened, the couple had thrown the baby away. The baby was really pitiful. They probably enjoyed themselves outside and definitely didn’t want to come back.

What would happen to this boy if he left one day?

The old man couldn’t bear to say these words, so he could only continue to say in dialect: “Okay, then you should review carefully and take the exam tomorrow.”

“Yeah, grandpa, go to bed quickly.” The little boy continued to work on math problems.

The night had fallen, and only the stars in the sky were still shining faintly.
The next day.

When Gong Ziming came back from the exam, he found three strangers at home.

Gong Ziming thought they were here to record a program again, “Hello uncle and auntie, hello little sister.”

When Gong Dehai and Zhao Li heard the words “uncle” and “auntie”, their eyes were filled with tears.

Gong Ziming ran into the room without noticing, crying and saying: “Grandpa, I have finished the exam, but I got a question wrong this time, and I will definitely not get the first place in the class.”

The old man was still sitting in the room, feeling angry. When he saw Gong Ziming coming back, his face showed some other expressions, “Ziming, go and serve the rice. It’s time for us to eat.”

Gong Ziming shed tears, said “Oh”, and ran out to serve the rice and vegetables.

“Uncle and aunt, do you want to eat rice?”

The old man yelled angrily: “Don’t feed them.”

Gong Ziming didn’t understand what happened, but he didn’t look at them twice and ran into the house immediately.

Zhao Li had cried enough and stood up slowly. Gong Dehai also stood up with her and walked over holding Mengmeng’s hand.

“Ziming.”
The old man roared angrily, “You are not allowed to talk to my grandson. It has been ten years since you left. You left your baby to me for ten years, what are you doing coming back now?”

When Gong Ziming heard what his grandfather said, his chopsticks slipped from his hands, “Grandpa, are they my father and mother?”

“You don’t have parents like this.”

Mengmeng looked at Zhao Li who was crying and comforted: “Mom, stop crying.”

When the old man saw the girl, he was curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Gong Dehai said helplessly, “Dad, it’s not that we didn’t want to come back to see you and Ziming these years, but we really had no choice.”

Then, he told all about his situation outside. The old man felt even more uncomfortable, but he softened his tone and said, “You really, come back if you can’t survive outside.”

The little boy’s eyes were already wet, “Dad, Mom.”

Zhao Li opened her arms and held the little boy in her arms, “My dear, it’s our, your parents’ fault. We shouldn’t have been gone for so many years.”
“Then will you leave?”

“We’re not leaving. Mom and Dad won’t leave this time.”

The old man finally felt at ease.
