With Zhuyu in front, how could the third brother still stare at the other plum trees for so long?
Anyway, after Zhao Lu saw the plum tree at his third brother's house, not to mention other plum trees in real life, even the post-processed photos of plum trees on the Internet could hardly make him feel any emotions.
...
"have no idea."
Xiao Xiao's words made Zhang Luzheng open his mouth, "Ah?"
...
"Like I said before."
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"It's just some feeling."
...
"oh oh."
Zhao Luzheng nodded.
He remembered their conversation yesterday.
"I'm asking too much."
...
"The youngest."
Zhang Bo greeted.
"What are you talking about with the third child?"
"We're leaving."
...
"coming."
Zhao Luzheng shouted.
He waved his hand to Xiao Xiao, "Third brother, I'm leaving."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched, "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Zhao Luzheng dragged his suitcase towards Zhang Bo and Zhuge Yun.
...
"Lao San, let's go."
Zhang Bo's voice was loud and clear.
Zhuge Yun rubbed his ears.
"It's not that far away, why are you shouting so loudly..."
He waved to Xiao Xiao who was looking over.
"Lao San, we'll see you next semester."
"If anything happens, let's call you via mobile phone."
...
"Pfft~"
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng couldn't help laughing.
The second brother (second brother) really never forgets yesterday’s experience.
To this day, I still remind Lao San (Third Brother) not to forget to "tip off the information" to him.
...
Watching the car carrying Zhang Bo and others disappear into the traffic, Xiao Xiao turned around and returned to the teahouse.
...
"all gone?"
Xiao's mother walked into Xiao Xiao and asked with a smile.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while."
...
"okay."
Xiao's mother didn't ask where Xiao Xiao was going.
Since she was young, this child has made her and her father feel at ease.
They also gave the child plenty of freedom and space.
"Be careful on the road."
...
Xiao Xiao came to the house he had visited last night.
Standing at the door -
"Dong dong dong~"
Xiao Xiao knocked on the door at a normal volume.
He remembered that the old lady once said that her ears were not very good.
As for the old man, he didn't know.
I wonder if the volume can be heard by people in the room?
...
A minute later, Xiao Xiao was informed by the silence behind the door.
The knock on the door just now... wasn't loud enough.
"Dong dong dong~"
Xiao Xiao increased the volume of knocking on the door.
"Dong dong dong~"
...
Still no response from the door.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Didn't you hear the knock on the door?
Or did he happen to coincide with the time when the two old men were going out?
...
Xiao Xiao tried knocking on the door again.
Yesterday he said he would come today.
Logically speaking, the two old men should be in the house.
But......
...
Xiao Xiao sighed in his heart.
If he kept knocking again, he was worried that the old man’s neighbors would accuse him of making noise.
"Hello......"
A voice full of dissatisfaction came to my ears.
Xiao Xiao turned around.
It's an aunt wearing home clothes and a cotton coat.
She was frowning and looking at him with an unkind expression.
...
Xiao Xiao thought, is he a crow's mouth?
He smiled sheepishly at his aunt.
"Sorry, was I too noisy?"
...
Auntie was stunned.
Obviously some didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so good.
Especially... to the point.
How did he know that she came to him because she felt it was too noisy?
Feeling a little surprised, her expression softened.
"It's a little noisy."
Auntie's voice was also a little less sharp.
"I stayed up late yesterday and was catching up on my sleep in the morning..."
...
"Feel sorry."
Xiao Xiao understood.
"I disturbed you."
...
"......fine."
Auntie thought for a long time before she could form two words.
When she came out, she was not full of anger, but she was indeed a bit angry.
I didn't expect the other party to be so conscious...
Before she said anything, the other party said everything she wanted to say and apologized by the way.
If she had to say anything else, she would appear to be unreasonable.
...
"...are you looking for Grandpa Wang and the others?"
As if leaving like this was a bit "anticlimactic", the aunt looked at the door in front of the young man and asked instead.
...
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"But they don't seem to be home."
...
"not here?"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, my aunt felt that she had said nonsense.
She smiled awkwardly.
"That's really unfortunate."
"Although we live upstairs and downstairs, our family moved from behind and we are not very familiar with them."
"I haven't even met with them a few times."
"But I heard people say..."
The aunt lowered her voice, as if she wanted to tell some gossip.
Then she realized something and looked at Xiao Xiao with an unnatural look on her face, "You are Grandpa Wang's..."
...
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"We met for the first time yesterday."
"My friend and I were attracted by the fragrance of plum blossoms, and we found Grandpa Wang's home along the way."
"Two elderly people kindly invited us into the yard to enjoy the plum blossoms."
"oh oh."
Auntie nodded while listening.
He muttered, "I can't tell..."
"...I left something in the yard."
Xiao Xiao spoke slowly, "It was too late yesterday and the sky was very dark, so it was inconvenient to look for things in the yard."
"I made an appointment with the old man to come over today during the day..."
...
"Oh~"
Auntie was stunned.
"That's right."
"In other words, you have nothing to do with them, you are just a passerby."
Passersby...
That's right...that's right.
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Um."
"I'm just a passerby."
...
"Oh, passersby."
The uneasiness on Auntie's face disappeared and she smiled again.
"That's good."
"Some words..."
"You know, it's not suitable for their relatives or friends to hear."
"I also listen to what others say."
"You know, I just moved here a few years ago..."
The aunt explained a few words and then entered the text.
"When you saw Grandpa Wang and his wife yesterday, did you notice anything wrong?"
...
Xiao Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
The curvature of the corners of his mouth remained unchanged, "How do you say it?"
"You also know that it was getting late yesterday and the visibility was not very good..."
"oh oh."
Auntie nodded in understanding.
"...I just heard..."
Before speaking, the aunt emphasized her position again.
"Just heard."
"I don't know if it's right..."
"...It is said that Grandpa Wang and the others were not that old..."
"The two old men are both cultural people."
“A good attitude means good maintenance.”
"I actually vaguely remember that when I first saw them, their hair was only half white."
"My body is straight and my steps are steady and fast."
"The two old people have always had a good relationship."
"The old people in the community are very envious of their condition."
"but......"
Auntie sighed.
"There was an accident."
After a pause, the aunt continued, "...When they took their grandson out to play one day, they didn't pay attention..."
The aunt's face showed sympathy and intolerance, "The child was hit by a car..."
