The old man's complaints came to an abrupt end.
…
The old man was stunned.
He couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes.
Did he read that correctly?
…
"Hey, old lady."
The old man touched the arm of the old lady next to him.
"you say……"
"Am I right?"
"Maple leaf cake..."
"Gone……"
…
"No……"
The old woman's eyes were filled with excitement.
She saw clearly.
The maple leaf cake they put on the stone table...is gone.
There are only two people in this family, her and the old man.
Since it's not for them to eat.
So……
"...really ate it..."
The old lady murmured.
His hands couldn't help but clasped together tightly.
"real……"
"it is true……"
The things the children told them about maple trees... finally came true.
…
It's not that they don't believe what the children say.
After all, they have also seen a thing or two about the magic of maple trees.
It’s just that too many things happened too fast in a short period of time...
The matter of the green bamboo, the matter of the maple tree...and the monster named Lingfeng...
They are older.
They couldn't digest so much at once, especially things that subverted their knowledge.
Although a long time has passed since I learned about these things...
But just because nothing has changed since then...
On the contrary, it made them more and more uncertain.
This time I made maple leaf cake for the maple tree because of the old lady’s whim.
I was very excited when I did it.
Particularly exciting.
But after finishing it, I hesitated.
It was like suddenly waking up.
The old man couldn't see her struggling, so he made the final decision and they came to the yard.
…
Honestly, talking to the maple trees…
In fact, it is not unfamiliar to them.
But they were as nervous as if it was their first time.
Because...it's different.
A long time ago, their focus was not on maple trees.
And in the eyes of children who are particularly rebellious and unreasonable.
The maple tree is just a dispensable existence.
…
But this time, they only focused on maple trees.
The maple leaf puff pastry they make is for the maple tree.
They know maple trees can give back to them.
They also look forward to the corresponding response from Maple Tree.
…
This feeling is amazing.
The old lady even had a suspicion that they were crazy?
fortunately.
They are not crazy.
Everything the children said was indeed true.
The old lady's lips trembled with excitement.
Can't make any sound.
…
The old man walked to the maple tree.
He looked at the tray on the stone table.
Um.
The old man nodded.
Eat very cleanly.
A satisfied smile appeared on the old man's face.
He turned his head.
Look upward.
"……Like it?"
The old man's voice was neither loud nor soft.
It was exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard at this time.
"This is what the old lady made with great care."
"This skill was lost for many years."
"Now that I'm picking it up, it's getting better and better."
…
"Why……"
