He found his guitar, tuned it, and began to sing for Grandpa Lu.

"Some say the world is too cold, that kindness always brings pain, but look at those ruins, there are still flowers stubbornly blooming red..."

"..."

The melody gradually intensifies...

"Light, oh light, you are not alone, for a million of me are calling out to you; light, oh light, you will not be extinguished, for hope is an everlasting flame..."

The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, and the grape leaves were rustling softly.

The song is over.

Mr. Lu was already in tears.

Su Sinian put down her guitar, at a loss for words, "Grandpa Lu, please don't cry, is it because I sang badly..."

“No…” Lu Zhengyang shook his head repeatedly, his voice choked with emotion, “It’s wonderful, Xiao Niannian, this song… doesn’t need a single word changed.”

He patted Su Sinian's shoulders heavily with both hands: "Do you know? Grandpa has heard countless works in his life, but this one is not just music. It is a power, a call, a... awakening."

Su Sinian was a little embarrassed by the praise: "Grandpa, you're flattering me to death..."

Lu Zhengyang said seriously, "Grandpa is serious, Xiao Niannian. Once this song is released, it will definitely be a global hit, because you are just that outstanding."

Su Sinian listened intently.

Lu Zhengyang continued, "So Grandpa supports your idea of ​​using music to awaken more people and get more people to join this struggle between light and darkness. This is... a great thing."

He paused, a sly glint in his eyes: "Besides, Grandpa can help you."

"Help me?" Su Sinian's eyes lit up.

Lu Zhengyang nodded, "Yes, although Grandpa has retired, he still has some influence in the music industry. I can contact some old friends, and we can work together to make this song 'Light' into a series, not just a song, but also a symphony, a musical... using various forms to spread it further."

Su Sinian's heart pounded.

If Grandpa Lu really helps, then his musical revolution will no longer be a pipe dream!

Su Sinian suddenly asked, "Grandpa Lu, do you think... music can really change the world?"

Lu Zhengyang thought for a moment before saying softly, "Music cannot directly change the world, but it can change people's hearts, and when people's hearts change, the world... also changes."

He looked at Su Sinian, his eyes full of expectation: "Little Sinian, go ahead and do it. Use your music to change the hearts of those you can change. The rest is up to time, to... light."

At this moment, Su Sinian's eyes shone brightly. With Grandpa Lu's encouragement, he had even more confidence.

The grandfather and grandson were having a lively discussion when suddenly a series of light footsteps sounded in the yard, accompanied by a child's melodious voice: "Grandpa, it's Brother Niannian..."

The two turned their heads at the same time and saw a little girl running towards them.

The little girl looked to be about five years old. She had two cute little pigtails with bows tied to them. She had a round face, big eyes, and a row of neat little white teeth when she smiled.

"Ranran is here!" As soon as Lu Zhengyang saw his granddaughter, the seriousness on his face immediately turned into doting affection.

Lu Ranran threw herself into her grandfather's arms, found a comfortable spot on his lap, and then tilted her head to look at Su Sinian, her eyes sparkling: "Hello, Brother Nian Nian!"

Su Sinian smiled and said, "Hello, Ranran."

Lu Ranran is Lu Zhengyang's youngest granddaughter and the only girl in the Lu family's current generation.

Lu Zhengyang had three sons, and each of his three sons had two sons, making the entire Lu family a bunch of boys.

When their youngest son was forty years old, Lu Ranran was born, which made the whole Lu family extremely happy. From then on, this little princess became the darling of the whole family, and they were truly afraid of breaking her if they held her in their hands and melting her if they kept her in their mouths.

Lu Ranran doesn't usually stay at Mr. Lu's place, but amazingly, as soon as Su Si Nian arrives, this little one immediately runs over excitedly.

"Brother Niannian, were you singing just now? I heard a little bit at the door, it was so beautiful~ It's the best song I've ever heard~" Lu Ranran said sweetly.

Su Sinian was a little embarrassed by the praise and smiled politely, "Thank you, Ranran."

Lu Ranran suddenly waved her little hand and called out crisply towards the courtyard gate, "Aunt Liu, hurry up and bring the things in!"

A moment later, a middle-aged woman came in carrying a tray.

The tray was piled high with bright red strawberries, washed clean and still glistening with water droplets, almond cookies arranged in delicate little towers, and several seasonal fruits, all neatly cut.

"Grandpa, Brother Niannian, you must try some!"

Lu Ranran picked up the biggest strawberry and handed it to her grandfather first, saying, "This strawberry is so sweet. Dad just picked it from the farm this morning."

Lu Zhengyang smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa doesn't want to eat it, give it to Brother Niannian."

"No, no!" Lu Ranran insisted, trying to stuff the strawberry into her grandfather's mouth. "Grandpa, eat it! Grandpa will only be happy if he eats it!"

Lu Zhengyang, unable to resist his granddaughter's pestering, had no choice but to open his mouth and take the food, laughing as he ate, "Okay, okay, Grandpa will eat."

"Is it sweet?" Lu Ranran asked expectantly.

"Sweet, incredibly sweet!" Lu Zhengyang nodded repeatedly.

Lu Ranran was satisfied and picked up another strawberry, handing it to Su Sinian: "Brother Niannian, you can have some too."

Su Sinian quickly took it: "Thank you, Ranran."

The little girl wasn't finished yet. She picked up another almond cookie from the tray and said, "Brother Niannian, try this one too. It was made by the kitchen auntie in our house. It tastes even better than the ones you buy outside."

After delivering the almond cookies, the little girl ran to the gate of the yard and dragged a small basket in from outside. The basket was a bit big for her, and she struggled to drag it, but she insisted on not letting anyone help her.

"Ranran, what is this?" Lu Zhengyang asked.

"Gifts." Lu Ranran placed the basket on the stone table, her little face full of pride. "Ranran has prepared gifts for Brother Niannian... and Grandpa!"

Lu Zhengyang stared blankly as his granddaughter suddenly became attentive to him, taking out a small, hand-sewn sachet from the basket.

The sachet is dark blue, with the character "福" (fortune) embroidered on it in gold thread.

Lu Ranran stuffed the sachet into her grandfather's hand, "This is for you, Grandpa. If you carry it with you, the mosquitoes won't bite you."

Lu Zhengyang held the small sachet and said, "Okay, okay, Grandpa will definitely carry it with him every day."

Next, Lu Ranran took out another gift from the basket. This time it was a small wooden carving of a cute little squirrel holding a pine cone.

She handed the little squirrel to Su Sinian, hesitated for a moment with her head down, and then said, "This is for Niannian. Ranran learned wood carving from her father. It's not very good... but I tried my best..."
