"Remember to go to school with them from now on. Get along well and don't fight or argue, okay? Whenever you want to go back, just contact us and we'll take you back."

Pang Chong nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll remember it, Dad."

The couple had a busy day and drove off early the next morning. Before leaving, they gave their son a watch phone and told him to contact them anytime if he needed anything.

They will send you anything you need.

Pang Chong settled down there, getting up early to run and exercise, and afterwards helping his grandparents with chores, picking peanuts and shelling corn.

On their way home, Mr. and Mrs. Pang looked at the empty back seat and realized that their son was now permanently studying in the countryside, and it would be much less convenient for them to see him in the future.

Suddenly, my heart felt empty.

"Hey, do you think our son will be able to adapt to life in the countryside? It's so inconvenient. We've installed a toilet at home, but it's still not as convenient as in the city, and we can't order takeout anymore."

Mrs. Pang muttered to herself.

Hearing this, Mr. Pang said helplessly, "It's a good thing that we can't order takeout. Staying in the countryside is good for the children because it keeps them connected to the local culture. Besides, not ordering takeout is better for their health."

"With your child away, you can finally lose weight properly."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pang was taken aback. After realizing what was happening, she said irritably, "What, are you also complaining that I'm fat? I'm only this thin because of your son. I was so skinny before I got married."

"No, no, I was just saying it casually. It's true that getting fat is bad for your health. I'm only thinking of you, my dear wife."

"Hmph, I get it."

After driving halfway, Pang's father felt increasingly distressed: "Honey, why don't you video call our son and ask how he is? I'm starting to miss him."

Pang's mother nodded. She had also thought about it, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Since her husband had already brought it up, it was best to use him as the reason.

After dialing, the video feed shook for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

[Hey son, what are you doing?]

Pang Chong adjusted the camera's position, sat down on a small stool, and started working: "Oh, I'm helping Grandpa and Grandma pick peanuts and shell corn, but I think shelling peanuts like this is too slow."

"Look at my idea! Using a bicycle to pick peanuts is so much faster! Aren't I clever? Dad, aren't you happy?"

Mr. Pang's face darkened, and he said irritably, "This is a bicycle I just bought for you yesterday, and you're already ruining it like this? You'll easily deform it, you little rascal."

Pang Chong laughed heartily: "[It's okay, Dad. I saw it in a short video; that's how everyone does it. By the way, could you transfer me some more money? I need to buy tools online to do the work.]"

[Grandpa and Grandma are picking the fruit bit by bit every time, it's too slow. There are easy-to-use tools available online, why don't they just buy them? They don't know how to shop online, I'll buy them for them.]

[That way, Grandpa and Grandma can finish their chores sooner and play with me. Dad, is that okay?]

Pang's mother leaned closer, her eyes a little red: "Son, are you adjusting well back home? Are you tired? If you are, your dad will pick you up next semester."

"Mom, I think I just got back yesterday. Isn't it too early to say I'm leaving now? I think the countryside is wonderful and comfortable; the air is so fresh. I love it here."

The elderly couple couldn't stop smiling when they heard their eldest grandson say that. They could only see their eldest grandson during winter and summer vacations and Chinese New Year. Now it's so good that their eldest grandson is back.

【Daughter-in-law, don't worry. The child is doing very well here. We will take good care of him. You can go back to work and focus on your studies.】

[...Okay, if he's naughty and doesn't know any better, just hit him without holding back.]

【Okay, I understand.】

The elderly couple brushed it off; they couldn't possibly bear to actually hit their eldest grandson.

After the video call ended, Pang Chong thought of something else and said seriously, "Grandpa and Grandma, there's something I want to ask you. Where is my sister's grave?"
