"grandfather."
Xu Zizhen called.
"I'll just come."
He "snatched" the broom from the old man's hand.
...
The old man smiled.
I didn't insist on it.
Getting older.
This waist doesn't work well after bending it for a while.
It's better for him not to show off.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the children will be the ones in trouble in the end.
"I want to sweep these leaves away."
"It will save your grandma from being sad when she sees you later."
...
"Where's grandma?"
Xu Zizhen subconsciously scanned the area.
The old lady was not seen.
...
"Your grandma went to rest in the house."
The old man rubbed the fallen leaves in his hand with his fingers, "Your grandma actually likes this maple tree."
After all, who doesn’t like such a beautiful maple tree?
"only......"
Then that happened.
No matter how good the maple tree is, it is not as important as your own son.
The old lady had a grudge against the maple tree.
Even if I know it's just to vent my anger...
But people's emotions are often beyond control.
So many years have passed.
My son is getting better and better.
The old lady gradually let go of the maple tree.
Without prejudice, the love I once had is revived in my heart.
This feeling became more fermented after learning that Feng Shu’s life was short-lived.
The old man smiled.
"Your grandma liked this maple tree very much when she first came to this house."
"When your grandma and I got married, it was the time when Fenghong..."
Even now, he can still recall that the red maple trees at that time were so beautiful.
"Every autumn, your grandma makes maple leaf cake."
"You can obviously do it without autumn."
"But your grandma cares about this..."
This maple tree witnessed the couple's daily life in this house.
In the future, this tree will be gone...
The old man sighed deeply in his heart.
In the first few days, it is inevitable that you will feel a little lonely.
As time goes by, it will get better...
...
"I didn't expect you to leave earlier than us two old guys."
The old man touched the rough tree trunk.
The hands are a little shaky.
"My wife and I both thought that you would stay with us until the end..."
...
"Grandpa Xu, it will accompany you until the end."
The sudden sound made the old man startled.
He turned his head.
"Master Xiao?"
He remembered this young man.
Because the grandson calls this young man different from others, and because he has a huge appetite.
One person ate two plates of maple leaf cake.
He didn't have such a big appetite when he was young.
...
"Why?"
The old man smiled with some surprise and embarrassment, "You came with Xiao Zhen?"
"Look at me."
"Sure enough, I am getting older and my eyesight is not working well."
"I didn't even notice there was another person."
He even surprised himself.
How come you are so slow?
...
"I didn't say hello to you."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, "Hello, Grandpa Xu."
"excuse me."
...
"Don't disturb, don't disturb."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
Um?
An idea flashed in his mind.
He looked at his grandson, "Did you suddenly run out just now to find Master Xiao?"
...
"Um."
Xu Zizhen nodded.
If there is such a big problem in the maple tree, it is natural to ask Master Xiao to take a look.
To be continued...
