Chapter 2410 Bonsai
"dessert?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then felt a little happy.
"Your grandpa is interested."
"I like your snacks very much."
"Honestly, the biggest regret about moving is that I can't go to your teahouse to sit there when I have nothing to do like before..."
There was a bit of regret in the old man's tone.
…
"sit."
The old man took something to eat from under the coffee table.
"There aren't many young people in the house, and I don't know if you like to eat these things..."
The old man frowned.
He doesn't eat snacks much himself.
After all, as I get older, my appetite decreases, and my teeth are not as healthy.
Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, he bought these snacks a few days ago along with other miscellaneous things.
…
Xiao Xiao placed the snack box on the coffee table.
"Grandpa Zhang, I like it."
Xiao Xiao quirked his eyebrows.
"real?"
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes widened.
"As long as you like it, that's fine."
"I like to eat more."
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao with a bit of emotion on his face.
"You've grown so big in a blink of an eye."
"do you remember me?"
The old man didn't have high hopes for this.
He moved here six years ago.
The child was still young at that time.
How can I remember staying in one of the many guests who came to the teahouse?
unexpectedly-
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Remember."
"real?"
The old man didn't quite believe it.
He thought the child said this just to avoid disappointing him.
He laughed, but did not expose the child's words.
It's not a big deal.
If the child has this intention, he will accept it.
"You have a really good memory."
…
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.
That's fine.
He can say something to prove that he indeed remembers the old man's words, such as the conversations or contacts they had.
But what if the old man doesn’t remember?
Some things don't need to be taken too seriously.
…
"I'll make you a pot of tea-"
Grandpa Zhang looked like he suddenly thought of something.
"Grandpa Zhang."
Xiao Xiao stopped the old man who was about to get up, "Don't bother."
"I'm not thirsty."
"...Then let me get you a glass of water."
The old man hesitated for a while, did not insist, and said instead.
"Drink some hot water and your whole body will warm up."
…
The old man handed the water glass to Xiao Xiao.
"Be careful when drinking."
"OK."
Xiao Xiao responded with a smile.
He took a sip of water and ate some snacks.
Listen patiently to the old man telling some interesting things that happened in the teahouse in the past.
…
The old man suddenly came to his senses.
"Look at me, once I start talking, I won't stop talking."
The old man patted his head gently.
"You're obviously here to get something..."
The old man stood up.
"Xiaoxiao, come with me."
…
Xiao Xiao followed the old man into a room with a door ajar.
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao had the illusion that he was in the forest garden.
There are many bonsai pots of different sizes and staggered heights placed in the room.
Full of greenery and vitality.
Coupled with the unique shape-
It immediately gives people a feeling of light up.
…
"very beautiful."
Xiao Xiao did not hesitate to praise him.
"Grandpa Zhang, are these all your works?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao's straightforward expression and words made the old man narrow his eyes happily.
The old man looked at the bonsai with a bit of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.
"It's the old man's hobby."
"Just passing the time."
…
"Grandpa Zhang is so awesome."
In Xiao Xiao's impression, the old Grandpa Zhang, that is, the Grandpa Zhang before moving six years ago, did not have this hobby.
In other words, this hobby was cultivated by Grandpa Zhang in the past six years.
To achieve such results, Grandpa Zhang has really put in a lot of effort.
…
The old man smiled so hard that his teeth almost disappeared.
He took Xiao Xiao and introduced each of his works to the young man one by one.
These works are all works that he is satisfied with.
After experiencing countless failures, for four years, the bonsai in this house were all his hard work.
…
The old man pulled Xiao Xiao to the edge of the last bonsai.
The branches that grow obliquely have short and dense needles.
The lush greenery suddenly filled the field of vision.
"this......"
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao.
"This is my gift to your grandpa."
...
Although he had guessed it at first, he didn't expect it to be bigger than he expected.
It is the third largest bonsai in this room.
...
"This is a five-needle pine bonsai."
The old man's eyes showed obvious love and satisfaction.
"I think you know the implication."
"I just hope your grandpa is healthy and lives a long life."
...
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao thanked the old man on behalf of his grandfather.
...
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
The old man laughed.
"The Feng Shui meaning of the five-needle pine is also good."
"Putting this in your store will help your business prosper and attract wealth."
...
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Grandpa Zhang took the trouble."
...
"Since you're going to give a gift, it's natural to give it something that suits your grandfather's heart, isn't it?"
The old man reached out and gently touched the hard needles.
"I have been choosing for a long time, and I think this is the most suitable gift for your grandpa."
"The only inconvenience is..."
"This bonsai is a bit bigger."
"Otherwise, I can send it to your grandfather myself."
"There's no need for you to come over here."
"Thanks a lot."
The old man smiled at Xiao Xiao.
...
"Won't."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"I'm on vacation now and have a lot of time."
"Grandpa Zhang, don't worry."
"Moreover, it was only after I came here that I could see so many of Grandpa Zhang's bonsai works."
"My trip was well worth it."
...
"Haha~"
Xiao Xiao's words made the old man smile happily.
"I'm glad you came too."
"Although the old man is more than half his age, he is still like a young boy. He wants others to see what he has accomplished."
Today I introduced my bonsai to Xiaoxiao, and he felt very happy and proud.
I'm still very excited now.
Especially this kid is very supportive.
Listen carefully too.
He was in a better mood.
...
Good things always have to be appreciated
They also deserve more praise.
The old man's eyes were very gentle as he scanned every bonsai in the house.
...
"Ask your grandpa to take good care of this bonsai."
The old man warned Xiao Xiao.
"If anything goes wrong, please contact me immediately."
"I will try my best to help solve it..."
...
Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement from time to time.
He was not impatient.
The old man made no secret of his concern for these bonsais.
It seems that my grandfather has a really good relationship with this Grandpa Zhang.
Otherwise, the other party would not be willing to take out the bonsai that he values so much and give it to his grandfather.
...
"...it's going to be heavy..."
The old man murmured.
He stared unblinkingly at the five-needle pine bonsai that he was about to give away.
This bonsai is not small.
Correspondingly, the weight cannot be ignored.
Coupled with a somewhat "baring teeth and dancing" appearance...
