Xiao Xiao knew there must be some reason for this.
…
"It's the old woman who wants to pretend."
The old man looked at the old lady.
"The old man also agrees."
…
The old lady smiled.
"Actually, I had thought about it a long time ago..."
"But it's just an idea, and the intention to realize it is not very strong."
"But didn't we have a picnic here the last time you came?"
…
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Yes.
They spread out picnic mats under the maple trees.
What I was eating was the maple leaf cake that was spread all over the table.
…
"I thought, I can't let you sit on the floor every time you come here..."
"I just had people make this set of stone tables and benches."
"You can sit down when you come."
The old lady narrowed her eyes.
Although smiling.
A sigh escaped from his throat.
She gently rubbed the stone table.
"...just like what I just said..."
"I had this idea a long time ago..."
"Not just once."
"You only know..."
The old lady looked at Xiao Xiao.
"How much that kid from Qingzhu loves this maple tree."
She knew the reason.
Love the house and the bird.
That maple tree witnessed all the past between that child and that girl.
After the girl disappeared, the maple tree became the child's only thought.
"Even after he moved out, he would come back almost every week."
Sometimes she would be particularly concerned about whether the child came to see them, to see the maple trees, or to see them in passing, and to see the maple trees was the main purpose.
after all……
"That kid always stands under the maple tree for a long time."
"...I feel heartbroken when I see it."
Thinking of all the past events, the old lady sighed with sadness.
"I just wanted to make a stone bench so that the child could sit on it."
"It's not that tiring."
"But……"
The old lady shook her head.
"You also know the attitude between me and your Grandpa Xu at that time..."
They strongly disapproved of Qingzhu's child continuing to indulge in the past few years with the girl.
When their relationship with their child was at its most tense, they even hated the girl.
Even if they have never met.
They didn't understand why they were just a childhood playmate and harmed such an excellent child like them.
"If I make a stone bench, wouldn't I be encouraging the children in disguise?"
Encourage children to reminisce under the maple tree...
"When I thought about it, I gave up the idea."
The old lady looked a little dazed.
It's like being immersed in past memories.
"You have to know, we wanted to cut down this maple tree at that time."
"I think this maple tree is really a nuisance."
She was really tired of her son looking lost under the maple tree.
Very distressed too.
Conflicting feelings pulled at her heart.
Let her both hope that the girl will appear and not hope that the girl will appear.
did not think of……
Finally the girl appeared.
She actually appeared...
But it was different from all her expectations...
The old lady came to her senses.
She looked at the maple tree.
"Feel sorry."
"Those are all the angry words I said in the past."
The old lady smiled sheepishly.
Actually the idea is true.
But the angry words are also true.
She knew that if they really dealt with the maple tree, their relationship with Qingzhu...
She couldn't imagine what would happen.
Yes.
This is just a maple tree.
Not that girl.
…
She never imagined at the time that her words would come true.
…
Children will not turn against them because of a tree.
But……
She knew that the child would definitely have a knot in his heart.
There will be a rift in their relationship.
Unable to make up for it.
She doesn't want this.
Therefore, even if she gets angry again, she never does the most "once and for all" or the most extreme thing.
The child's life is slowly getting back on track.
They were very pleased.
The only thing that didn't change was the child's concern for the maple tree.
They are also used to it.
There was no violent reaction to this incident like the first few years.
Anyway, the children are married and have children.
Since the child likes maple trees and only comes to see maple trees once a week, then he should come and see them.
They treated them as children who came to see them.
Take a look at the maple trees.
They thought that was the end of it.
Maybe one day, they will be surprised to find that the child, who has not come to see them for more than a week, comes to see the maple tree.
Perhaps until the day they close their eyes, children still stick to this habit.
They never thought...
They actually waited for the third result.
…
so……
The old lady looked emotional.
Things are really unpredictable.
No one can predict what will happen in the future?
…
The boy looked at the old lady.
He turned his head and looked at the maple tree again.
For the first time, he saw other people apologizing to the maple tree.
Still an old man.
…
"Okay, okay, everyone, sit down first."
The old man motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Sit down and talk about anything else."
…
"Where to sit?"
The old lady rolled her eyes at the old man.
"Aren't we here to keep our children restrained?"
…
ah?
The boy was stunned.
Are you talking about him?
Although the old lady was right, he waved his hand hastily, "No..."
"No……"
…
"Grandma Shen, if you leave, we will be embarrassed to stay."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
By doing this, wouldn’t they mean that the guests “kicked away” the hosts?
…
"Harmful."
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"That's what I said."
"Aren't you here to see the maple trees?"
"We are here. If you worry about us, you won't be able to enjoy it properly."
"How about this."
The old lady made a compromise suggestion, "Let's sit for a while."
"Then leave again."
…
"good."
Xiao Xiao had a smile on his face.
…
Um……
Xiao Xiao found that there were only two tea bowls on the table.
The old lady really had no intention of staying in the first place.
Xiao Xiao laughed and shook his head.
He pushed the cup filled with tea in front of the two old men.
…
Before the two old men could raise objections, Xiao Xiao explained with a smile, "We are not thirsty."
"We can just have maple leaf crisps."
…
"How is that possible?"
The old lady didn't believe Xiao Xiao's explanation.
"You guys wait, I'll get two more cups."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady got up and left in a hurry.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.
Originally he wanted to go and get it.
But thinking that this is the home of two old people, it's not appropriate for an outsider to go rummaging through the house...
However, the old lady did not give him a chance to introduce himself.
The movements are very neat.
…
"Just wait a moment."
The old man smiled very lovingly.
"The old lady will be back soon."
"Come."
"Eat the maple leaf cake first."
…
The old man was very enthusiastic.
"Master Xiao, give it a try and see if the old lady's craftsmanship has improved?"
