For the first time in his life, he realized that children living in happy families are truly fortunate!
He had countless times secretly watched through the fence into the Gu Family's yard.
Watching that pretty little girl, learning calligraphy from her grandpa, learning sculpture...
She also had a pair of twin younger brothers and sisters.
They were very cute.
They always liked to surround her, calling her "sister" this and "sister" that.
The Members of the Gu Family were unlike anyone he had ever seen before.
Different from country folks.
Gentle and polite, dressed neatly and decently, their house was also the best in Stone Town.
Grandma Gu spoke softly, and Grandpa Gu was stern yet caring.
Uncle Gu was a teacher, Aunt Gu did household chores, and you never heard any quarrels from their home, the only loud sounds ever came when the boy was being naughty.
And that little girl lived like a little princess from a story.
Reading, practicing calligraphy, drawing, sculpting...
