In the spring of the next year, Uncle Jiu left! Don’t get me wrong, Uncle Jiu is very healthy.

That day, a Mercedes-Benz car came to the door of the store. The well-dressed driver respectfully opened the back door of the car, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie got out of the car. This person's temperament could be seen at a glance that he should be a successful person. He did not need to speak, but could give people a sense of oppression just by stopping his actions.

I thought he was a traveler here, but I found that this person's appearance was quite similar to Uncle Jiu, but his temperament was completely different.

I politely said hello to him and let him visit casually. He nodded slightly at me and did not speak, but walked straight towards Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu was carving a lock of the same life on the workbench. When he heard the movement, he looked back at the middle-aged man and immediately turned back to continue his work!

"Dad!" The middle-aged man stood behind Uncle Jiu and shouted in a humble tone.

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that this person was the son of Uncle Jiu. I had never heard Uncle Jiu mention his life experience, and I thought he had always been alone. I didn't expect that he had such a successful son. This made me feel a little incomprehensible about Uncle Jiu's simple and frugal life.

Logically speaking, he could have enjoyed some comfortable life based on his son's wealth, and he did not need to be a hard-working silversmith who drinks vegetarian food here. And Uncle Jiu once said that he had been here for decades...

"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come again? I'm very good here!" Uncle Jiu's tone was calm, and there was no change in his emotions because of his son's arrival.

"Dad! You are old, I know you don't want to bother us, but I am your son! I just want to be a son of filial piety! You are so old, and it's time to enjoy two years of blessing!"

The middle-aged man said extremely sincerely, with a hint of begging in his tone. It can be seen that although he has a successful career, his heart is not as cold as he looks on his face, and he is still very filial. From his words, it can be seen that Uncle Jiu has been insisting on staying here!

"I have been here countless times over the years, but you never want to listen to me. It would be fine if you were in good health a few years ago! It would be fine if your son was not capable, but now you are so old! I have already worked hard for a career now. How can I bear to let you live such a hard life here..." As he said, his voice trembled, as if he was in control of his love!

Uncle Jiu stopped his work, pondered for a long time, and sighed long, but he still said nothing!

"Dad, you said before that it was for your craft to not be lost, but now I have understood clearly that your craft has been found as the successor. Are you not very satisfied with this Mr. Wei? Just listen to your son!"

The middle-aged man's words made me understand that he was obviously paying attention to Uncle Jiu's life all the time. Even when he found me, his apprentice, had already known it clearly. It was also a good intention! Seeing the miserable expressions of the middle-aged man who was completely different from those when he got off the car, I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable!

I vaguely guessed that there was probably another reason for Uncle Jiu to stay here, and it was definitely not as simple as fearing that the craftsmanship would be lost! It was just that I didn’t know the reason why Uncle Jiu didn’t tell me!

Seeing that Uncle Jiu still said nothing, the middle-aged man lamented and said in a very lonely tone: "Dad, actually I know what you think! But no one blames you for the past. Mom has been dead for so many years, why do you still have to be unable to get along with yourself? Even if you are really wrong, you have suffered the suffering you should have suffered, and it has been evenly enough..."

"Stop talking..." Uncle Jiu's expression became gloomy as the middle-aged man's words, and he interrupted him and continued to say it!

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly. When he saw his father's displeasure, he didn't dare to continue talking. He sat on a small stool in disappointment and bowed his head without saying a word.

Then there was a long silence...

I was watching the conversation between the father and son, and I was in my heart. From the words of the middle-aged man, I could probably guess that it was because Uncle Jiu did some wrong things when he was young and hurt the people around me. That was why I expressed my inner repentance in this way of punishing myself!

But everyone has forgiven him, but he still doesn't want to let him go. He stayed in this remote countryside with no end and no end. He spent most of his life working day after day without caring about the world! Now he is old and still resentful of his past...

Seeing Uncle Jiu's silence, I couldn't bear it and walked up to Uncle Jiu, and thought for a moment and persuaded him: "Uncle Jiu! I have been in your favor for nearly a year, and you have never told me about your affairs. I just think you are alone! I originally wanted me to take care of your old age and support you to see you off! Now I know that you still have relatives. Your son is right. It would be fine if you have no relatives for half a lifetime. If you are used to being hard, you will naturally disdain for some comfortable life. But you still have relatives, and you should consider them more! If you insist on living alone, you may not think it's nothing, but this may be a regret that will never be relieved for your relatives! Isn't this another sin for you?"

Uncle Jiu slowly turned his head and looked at me. His deep eyes were filled with traces of time. His chin trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

When the middle-aged man heard what I said, he looked at his old father nervously, with hope on his face.

Uncle Jiu looked at me for a moment, then fell into silence again, then he slowly stood up and walked to the stove with a hunched over! Looking at his back, I felt that he was so old at this moment. It seemed that in just a moment, he had turned from an energetic old man to an almost exhausted old man.

He came to the stove, picked up a silver ingot and placed it on the iron table, then picked up a hammer and started to hit it.

I looked at the middle-aged man, and no one understood what Uncle Jiu was thinking, but none of us interrupted him.

Uncle Jiu raised the hammer again and again, hitting the silver ingot and making a crisp sound, as if comforting his hardships for half of his life, as if he was saying his final farewell to this place where he had been for half his life.

Uncle Jiu was busy in silence for more than two hours. I wanted to go up to help him, but he silently refused. His son kept persuading him to rest next to him, but he didn't even look at him...

Two hours later, Uncle Jiu finally completed his final work, including a pair of silver rings and a pair of silver bracelets, a pair of silver earrings and a silver collar.

After carving the last knife, he put down the knife and polished it carefully, carefully numbing every pattern and every edge. I have never seen Uncle Jiu so carefully create any ornament.

Until he thought it was perfect enough, there was no place to modify and ponder, he wrapped several ornaments in thick yellow.

The long-term work made him extremely tired. He walked up to me with a trembling body and grabbed my hand and put the silver jewelry wrapped in yellow and solemnly into my hands.

"This is the last set of items I made, and I gave them to Wei. If she doesn't dislike her when she grows up, she will put them on when she gets married! It's not worth my wish!"

Uncle Jiu had a solemn expression, as if he was explaining an extremely important thing.

I was moved and nodded heavily. I had been in the past year.

At this time, the old man who is about to end his life has an inseparable relationship with Wei Lai!

I immediately understood that Uncle Jiu had decided to leave.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard Uncle Jiu’s words. He hurried over to support Uncle Jiu’s arm and said tremblingly: “Dad, have you decided to go back with me?”

Uncle Jiu glanced at the son, reached out and shook his son's support, and scolded: "I'm not so old yet, so you don't need to help me!"

The middle-aged man had to let go and stood beside him, but he still couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

Uncle Jiu walked out with his hands behind his back, and when he came to the side of the car, he reached out and opened the door, he wanted to enter.

The middle-aged man hurried forward and said in surprise: "Dad! Don't you clean up?"

"Don't you clean up, how much can you put in your iron shell?" As he said that, he slapped the Mercedes-Benz's roof cover with his hand.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, but then he was happy and hurriedly prepared to get on the bus from the other side.

As soon as Uncle Jiu was about to get in the car, he hesitated and turned to look at the silversmith shop that he had been waiting for for decades. He sighed a long time. He walked up to me and patted my shoulder. He stared at me for a few seconds and then reached out and pulled my hair that had grown to my neck. He smiled and said, "It's time to cut it!"

I was slightly stunned, but I didn’t expect that Uncle Jiu’s last advice to me was to cut my hair!

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave!

"Uncle Jiu!" I called him.

Uncle Jiu immediately stood still and turned around!

I hurried back to the house and picked up Wei Lai who was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Wei Lai was woken up by me and looked at me with ignorance, as if he was a little puzzled.

Since Uncle Jiu is leaving, I think it is necessary to ask Wei Lai to say goodbye to him.

I carried Wei Lai to Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Jiu took it over. Uncle Jiu raised Wei Lai to the front of him and said kindly to Wei: "Wei Lai, Grandpa is leaving. Do you know if you want to listen to your father in the future? Grandpa will think of Wei Lai, will Wei Lai miss Grandpa..."

As Uncle Jiu spoke, he couldn't continue to talk, and his white beard trembled slightly. Wei Lai stared at Uncle Jiu without blinking, with a cute expression that seemed to know what this old man was going to do!

Just when Uncle Jiu was about to hand over Wei Lai to me, Wei Lai opened his mouth and shouted softly: "Master...Master!"

Uncle Jiu was stunned and almost unbelievable, lifting Wei Lai to the front again, and said excitedly: "Wei Lai, are you calling grandpa? Grandpa didn't hear it clearly, can you call him again?"

"Master...Master!" As soon as Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he didn't expect that Wei Lai actually called again. Although Grandpa was so angry that he made a sound, his pronunciation was clear and his tone was clear, and even I couldn't help but be stunned.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu taught Wei Lai to call grandpa every day. Wei Lai never called him, but when Uncle Jiu was about to leave, he suddenly learned to call grandpa! It made people feel sad. Although Wei Lai didn't know that grandpa was going to leave before he could feel something, he learned to call grandpa, but there are luck in the world. Some things are so incredible, and I think it's a kind of reluctance.

Uncle Jiu burst into tears, and her wrinkled face was both excited and sad. She kissed Wei Lai and pushed Wei Lai with her little hands regardless of whether Wei Lai was afraid of being pricked by his beard.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help feeling sad...
