Who would have thought that this is a special maple tree.
He sighed in his heart.
He turned around and quickly caught up with Master Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao went to the house to say goodbye to the two old people.
The old lady was a little surprised.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Sorry to bother you."
…
"What are you disturbing?"
The old lady waved her hand, "We just like having young people come over."
"It saves us two old guys always being the only ones in the house, feeling sluggish."
…
"Zizhen, you send Master Xiao off."
The old man assigned the task.
…
"yes."
Xu Zizhen gave a formal military salute.
"Guaranteed to complete the task."
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed first.
…
The two old men also laughed.
"What's this mess?"
“Not standard at all.”
The old man complained about his grandson.
"You kid, don't waste this action."
…
"Yes Yes."
Xu Zizhen shrugged his shoulders.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'll take Master Xiao out."
…
"Well, go ahead."
The old man looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Master Xiao, goodbye."
"Next time you want to see the maple trees, you can just come by yourself."
The old lady smiled and said, "No need to bring gifts."
"If you bring gifts every time you come, we will be embarrassed to ask you to come here often."
…
Xiao Xiao quirked his eyebrows.
"Um."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Xu."
"Goodbye grandma."
…
Xu Zizhen followed Xiao Xiao to the door.
"Master Xiao, how do you go back?"
"I-"
…
As if anticipating what Xu Zizhen was going to say, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I called a taxi."
…
Xu Zizhen was stunned.
Then he also laughed.
"OK."
"Master Xiao moves so fast."
He didn't even notice when Master Xiao called for a car.
Probably because he was a little distracted.
…
The car arrived soon.
Xiao Xiao said goodbye to Xu Zizhen, "Goodbye."
"I'm sorry to trouble you today."
"Thanks."
…
"Master Xiao, you're welcome."
Xu Zizhen shook his head hastily, "Where is the trouble?"
"I'm coming here myself."
"I just happened to see my grandparents."
Although he had only met the two old people yesterday.
But Master Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he said that.
After all, his behavior does seem a bit like the one his grandfather used to oust him... just to join in the fun.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I am leaving."
"goodbye."
…
"Goodbye, Master Xiao."
Xu Zizhen waved to Xiao Xiao who got into the car.
"Happy New Year, Master Xiao."
…
"Happy New Year."
Xiao Xiao sat upright.
…
The car drove away.
Xu Zizhen stood there for a while, then turned around and took steps forward.
…
He first went to the yard where the maple tree was.
There is no purpose.
I just suddenly wanted to take a look.
…
Xu Zizhen stood not far from the maple tree.
The previous scene appeared in his mind.
Although I roughly understood what happened, seeing it with my own eyes... I still couldn't help but feel a strange, inexplicable feeling in my heart.
It just feels... magical, right?
Just now, he was obviously nearby, but looking at Master Xiao, he felt as if there was an invisible wall between him and Master Xiao.
That feeling is very subtle.
Let him feel in a trance between reality and illusion.
To this day, some of that trance feeling at that time still remains in him.
…
Xu Zizhen suddenly opened his eyes with his hands.
The unchanged scenery in front of him made him laugh out loud.
Stupid or not -
"Zizhen?"
…
Xu Zizhen turned his head.
The two old men looked at him with strange expressions.
"What are you doing?"
The old lady frowned.
…
"What does it look like?"
The old man glared at his grandson dissatisfied.
"How come the older you get, the stupider you become?"
…
Xu Zizhen:……
He was somewhat dumbfounded.
How come it's such a coincidence?
He rarely made a fool of himself...
But he happened to be bumped into by two old men.
"I probably lost my mind just now."
That’s why I thought I could see some special scenes by opening my eyes with my hands...
"fine."
Xu Zizhen grinned, "I'm awake now."
It was the scene of Master Xiao communicating with Ling Feng just now that stimulated him, so he did some irrational behavior that was not in line with his character.
He had already deeply reflected on himself from the expressions of the two old men.
…
"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?"
Xu Zizhen changed the topic.
Forget about his embarrassing behavior just now.
He even wanted to forget it.
…
As expected, the two old men were changed by Xu Zizhen.
"I didn't expect you to come and see the maple trees, but we suddenly wanted to come and see them too."
The old lady's gaze passed over Xu Zizhen and looked at the maple tree behind him.
"I don't know what's so good about these bare maple trees..."
…
"perhaps……"
Xu Zizhen's voice was a little vague, "Master Xiao doesn't see bare maple trees in his eyes..."
…
"ah?"
The old lady looked at her grandson, "What?"
…
"yes."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "What's so good about these bare maple trees?"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have done such a stupid thing just now."
…
"You also know that you looked stupid just now?"
The old man complained rudely.
…
Xu Zizhen:……
…
"What are you talking about, old man?"
The old lady glared at the old man, "Where are you so stupid?"
"Don't exaggerate."
"Nonsense."
…
Old man:......
He is talking nonsense...
The old man was a little dissatisfied.
But in the end...
Good men do not fight with women.
He told himself so.
He turned to Xu Zizhen and asked, "Is something going to happen later?"
"Have lunch before leaving?"
He also invited Master Xiao to stay for lunch just now, but Master Xiao refused.
He didn't force it.
Mainly now is the Chinese New Year period.
It's time for family reunion.
If Master Xiao wants to go home, he doesn't want to waste other people's time.
Anyway, as long as Master Xiao comes to visit the maple tree in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat.
There is no rush this time either.
…
"good."
Xu Zizhen nodded.
Anyway, he has come, and he doesn’t have any plans next...
etc.
He remembered an idea that had come to his mind before.
"grandmother."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Teach me how to make maple leaf cake."
It happens to be a holiday now.
Once you have an idea, you must put it into action.
He considers himself to be a very active person.
…
"Teach you how to make maple leaf cake?"
The old lady was a little surprised, but also a little happy, "Why did you suddenly think of learning how to make maple leaf cakes from grandma?"
This child has never shown any interest in making snacks before.
