Gansu, a place full of tradition and history, where the bonds between families are particularly strong. With the Spring Festival approaching, the great-granddaughter who is far away is ready to embark on the journey home and return to Xi'an to reunite with her family for the Chinese New Year.
Grandma Tai is in her old age, and she is full of expectation and love for her great-granddaughter. Whenever she thinks that her granddaughter is about to return, her heart is filled with joy. However, winters in Gansu are not always snowy as in Xi'an. Grandma Tai worries that if there is no snow in Gansu this year, her granddaughter who has returned from the city will lose the joy of playing in the snow as a child.
So, Grandma Tai had an idea. She asked her grandfather to help make a snowman together. On a cold and windy morning, Grandma and Grandpa began their "secret project". They carefully collected the snow from the yard, and then under the command of the grandmother, the grandfather did the work, and the snow was sandwiched into snowballs, and then carefully piled up into several small snowmen.
Although these snowmen are simple, each one contains the love and expectation that the grandmother has for her granddaughter. She hopes that these snowmen will surprise her when her granddaughter returns, and make her feel the warmth of home and the joy of childhood.
In order to make sure that the snowman would be saved until her granddaughter returned, the grandmother thought of a solution: freeze the snowman in the refrigerator. Grandpa followed Grandma's instructions and neatly arranged each snowman in the refrigerator. He carefully adjusts the position to make sure that each snowman is preserved intact.
After netizens learned this story, they were all touched by the love of the grandmother. Some people commented that the grandmother saw her own child - that is, the parents of her great-granddaughter - in her, and saw her own child as a child. She superimposed the love of her first-time parents on her great-granddaughter, and this cross-generational emotion is so strong and pure.
This small action is not only to allow her granddaughter to play in the snow in Gansu, where there is no snow, but also to show her grandmother's deep love for her family. In this way, she tells her granddaughter that no matter how the outside world changes, home will always be your warm harbor.
The great-granddaughter finally returned home. When she opened the door of the refrigerator and saw the snowmen frozen hard, her eyes sparkled with surprise. She knows that this is not just a pile of snow, this is the love that Grandma has for her, and it is the whole family's thoughts about her.
At that moment, the great-granddaughter's heart was deeply touched. She hugged her grandmother tightly and thanked her for her dedication and love. In the days that followed, the great-granddaughter accompanied her grandmother and grandfather to revisit many family traditions and customs. They made dumplings together, hung lanterns, set off firecrackers, and the whole family was filled with a joyful and warm atmosphere.
This incident quickly spread on the Internet and became a beautiful talk in people's mouths. Many netizens have said that they should take time to spend more time with their families, because the love of family members is the most valuable wealth. The actions of the grandmother and grandfather not only gave the great-granddaughter an unforgettable Spring Festival, but also gave everyone a warm reminder: in this fast-paced era, we should cherish the time with our families and pass on love and warmth.
The great-granddaughter returned to Xi'an with a snowman full of memories and her grandmother's elaborate snowman. Although the snowman has long since melted, the love from her family has forever been frozen in her heart and has become the best memory of her life. And the grandmother and grandfather also gained more happiness and satisfaction in this Spring Festival, because they knew that their love had been deeply rooted in the heart of their great-granddaughter, and she would feel the warmth of home wherever she went.
