Grandma Zhang responded softly, "It just takes some time."
The words became lighter and lighter.
The thin old man didn't hear clearly, "What?"
"nothing."
The old man shook his head.
The thin old man did not ask further questions this time.
She knew that Grandma Zhang needed some time to let go of the missing kitten.
…
Grandma Zhang blinked at Xiao Xiao, signaling Xiao Xiao not to expose what she just said.
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
Seeing that the old man's mood had somewhat recovered, he felt relieved.
Although the old man's previous words did not shake him.
He is not so unsteady about what he has done.
However, it is impossible to say that my mood has not been affected at all.
Now, seeing that the old man didn't seem to have any grudge against him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
…
"A Ming, I plan to make dumplings this afternoon."
The thin old man remembered why he came to see Grandma Zhang in the first place, "Why don't you come to my house and join us?"
"We can make dumplings while chatting."
"How about you just sit next to me and chat with me."
Considering Grandma Zhang's physical condition, the thin old man suggested, "It would be boring if I did it alone."
A wry smile appeared on Grandma Zhang's face, "As I said, my health is not that bad."
"It's not like I can't even move."
"I'll make dumplings with you."
"I haven't eaten dumplings in a while."
"That's good."
The thin old man narrowed his eyes and said, "You can eat dumplings at my house tonight."
"I made mung bean soup yesterday."
"You should drink some too."
...
"young people."
She looked at Xiao Xiao, "Did you also bring snacks to A Ming this time?"
Before Xiao Xiao could speak, Grandma Zhang, who was afraid that Xiao Xiao would not be able to explain easily, answered first, "Am I so good at calling people?"
"Once is enough."
"How can I ask young people to send it over and over again?"
"This time, Xiao Xiao just happened to pass by nearby and came to see me on behalf of his grandma."
"oh oh."
Grandma Zhang's explanation was reasonable and the thin old man had no doubts.
She smiled at Xiao Xiao and said, "Young man, do you want to drink mung bean soup at my house before leaving?"
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "But I still have something to do."
"Forget it this time."
"If something happens, there's nothing we can do about it."
Even a skinny old man doesn’t force himself.
"Oops~"
The thin old man shouted as if he suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong?"
Although she has been spending a lot of time with the thin old man, Grandma Zhang is still not very adaptable to the old man's occasional surprises.
"The water on my gas stove is still burning."
"I originally thought that you were right across the door and it would only take a minute to find you. Who would have thought..."
"Oh, I won't tell you anymore."
"I go back first."
The thin old man said impatiently, "Follow me."
Before he finished speaking, the thin old man left in a hurry.
Grandma Zhang and Xiao Xiao looked at each other, feeling a little funny.
"You are so old, and you are still making such noises."
Grandma Zhang shook her head, "Like a child."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
A very cute old lady.
Although a little forgetful.
I forgot to take the garbage bag last time, and I forgot to boil water on the stove this time.
…
"Xiaoxiao."
Grandma Zhang's expression calmed down a bit, and her tone became slightly lower.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao waited for the old man's next words.
"Those things I said before..."
The old man lowered his eyes slightly, "Sorry."
"Don't take it seriously."
"It's because I lost control of my emotions."
"Nonsense."
"I don't know why I said those words..."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Grandma Zhang."
Xiao Xiao interrupted the old man who wanted to continue, "You don't have to mind."
"I know you don't mean anything bad."
"Feel sorry."
Grandma Zhang murmured, "I know you have done a good thing."
"In the future, there will be no children in the community who have high fevers for no apparent reason."
"No regrettable things will happen because of this."
"I want to thank you."
"For the children in the community and their families."
"Yes, I want to thank you."
The old man said it again.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you."
The old man solemnly thanked Xiao Xiao.
"Because of some personal reasons of mine, you heard some bad words."
"I'm very sorry."
"I really don't mean to blame you, I-"
"Grandma Zhang, I know."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly, "I hope you can be happy."
"If my grandma knows that I'm here, but it makes you depressed, she's afraid she'll beat me."
"Your grandma can't bear to part with you."
Grandma Zhang laughed.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and glanced ahead, "Grandma Zhang, it's time for you to go back."
"Grandma Li is waiting for you."
"Ah, oh."
Grandma Zhang nodded, "Yes."
"If you don't go back, her loud voice will come."
Having said this, the smile on Grandma Zhang's face deepened a bit.
"I'm leaving, Xiaoxiao."
The old man waved to the young man and said, "Say hello to your grandparents for me."
"Just say I'm fine."
"There will be no problem in a short period of time."
"If my health is better, I will go to Xiao's Teahouse to see them."
"OK."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, "Xiao's Teahouse is waiting for you."
"...you kid."
Grandma Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed.
"Let's go, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Grandma Zhang."
Xiao Xiao stood there and watched Grandma Zhang's back disappear.
After a while, he heard Grandma Li's voice.
"A Ming, you are so slow."
There was also Grandma Zhang’s voice in response.
"Why are you waiting for me here?"
"I'm afraid you'll disappear."
"My home is here, where can I go without seeing it?"
…
Watching the old man walk into the unit building, Xiao Xiao turned around and walked towards the entrance of the community.
At this point, this matter has come to an end.
The kid made a lot of food.
As for Grandma Zhang, with Grandma Li here, the old man will cheer up quickly.
…
Walking into the courtyard, you are greeted by the fragrance of plum blossoms and a slight coolness.
Xiao Xiao took a deep breath.
A smile appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hand to gently touch Li, who was about to hit him.
"Tweet~"
Li jumped on Xiao Xiao's open palm.
"嘤嘤~"
The baby spoon who followed him then made an elegant salute.
This is what this little monster saw on TV recently.
It thought it looked good, so he learned to do it.
It really looks like it's done.
The corners of Xiao Xiao's eyes curled up.
"I'm back."
…
"Xiaoxiao, are you back?"
Grandpa Xiao, who had just finished a game of chess, turned around when he heard the movement.
