Chapter 3885: Getting along with each other in tacit understanding
The old man's complaints came to an abrupt end.
…
The old man was stunned.
He couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyes.
Did he read that correctly?
…
"Hey, old lady."
The old man touched the arm of the old lady next to him.
"you say……"
"Am I right?"
"Maple leaf cake..."
"Gone……"
…
"No……"
The old woman's eyes were filled with excitement.
She saw clearly.
The maple leaf cake they put on the stone table...is gone.
There are only two people in this family, her and the old man.
Since it's not for them to eat.
So……
"...really ate it..."
The old lady murmured.
His hands couldn't help but clasped together tightly.
"real……"
"it is true……"
The things the children told them about maple trees... finally came true.
…
It's not that they don't believe what the children say.
After all, they have also seen a thing or two about the magic of maple trees.
It’s just that too many things happened too fast in a short period of time...
The matter of the green bamboo, the matter of the maple tree...and the monster named Lingfeng...
They are older.
They couldn't digest so much at once, especially things that subverted their knowledge.
Although a long time has passed since I learned about these things...
But just because nothing has changed since then...
On the contrary, it made them more and more uncertain.
This time I made maple leaf cake for the maple tree because of the old lady’s whim.
I was very excited when I did it.
Particularly exciting.
But after finishing it, I hesitated.
It was like suddenly waking up.
The old man couldn't see her struggling, so he made the final decision and they came to the yard.
…
Honestly, talking to the maple trees…
In fact, it is not unfamiliar to them.
But they were as nervous as if it was their first time.
Because...it's different.
A long time ago, their focus was not on maple trees.
And in the eyes of children who are particularly rebellious and unreasonable.
The maple tree is just a dispensable existence.
…
But this time, they only focused on maple trees.
The maple leaf puff pastry they make is for the maple tree.
They know maple trees can give back to them.
They also look forward to the corresponding response from Maple Tree.
…
This feeling is amazing.
The old lady even had a suspicion that they were crazy?
fortunately.
They are not crazy.
Everything the children said was indeed true.
The old lady's lips trembled with excitement.
Can't make any sound.
…
The old man walked to the maple tree.
He looked at the tray on the stone table.
Um.
The old man nodded.
Eat very cleanly.
A satisfied smile appeared on the old man's face.
He turned his head.
Look upward.
"……Like it?"
The old man's voice was neither loud nor soft.
It was exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard at this time.
"This is what the old lady made with great care."
"This skill was lost for many years."
"Now that I'm picking it up, it's getting better and better."
…
"Why……"
The old lady was a little embarrassed.
She hurriedly reached out and pulled the old man's clothes, trying to stop him from continuing to speak.
"What did you say?"
The old lady murmured softly.
Speak very quickly.
"What are you talking about?"
"do not talk……"
…
"what is the relationship?"
The old man held the old lady's hand behind his back.
Then he patted it gently.
"I'm not wrong."
Besides, he didn't say anything exaggerated.
He didn't even say that because these maple leaf cakes were for Ling Feng, the old lady specially picked out all the maple leaf cakes with slight flaws and left them for them to eat.
The maple leaf cakes sent to Lingfeng are perfect in appearance and taste.
…
"OK OK."
The old lady felt increasingly embarrassed.
"Just finish eating the maple leaf cake."
"Let's go back."
The old lady picked up the tray.
When she was about to leave, the old lady finally raised her head and looked at the maple tree.
"I hope you like these maple leaf cakes."
"You probably still like food."
After all, we have finished eating.
Thinking of this, the wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes relaxed.
The corners of his mouth also grinned.
"As long as you like it."
"I'll cook it for you next time."
After saying this, the old lady took the push plate and turned around and left.
The old man took one last look at the maple tree, and then hurriedly followed the old lady who was in a hurry.
"Hey, old woman, why are you walking so fast?"
"Wait for me."
…
"Aren't you hungry?"
"It's getting dark."
"I have to cook quickly..."
…
The voices of the two old men quickly disappeared from the room.
Quietness returned to the courtyard.
"Rustling, rustling~"
I don't know if it was the wind passing by, but the branches and leaves of the maple trees collided gently and made a slight sound.
Crisp and sweet.
…
Soon, the yard became quiet again.
…
With the first successful experience, the awkwardness in the old people's hearts quickly disappeared.
They get along very well with maple trees.
Originally, even if they knew how special the maple tree was, the maple tree was actually not that big-
In other words, there is no change at all.
They are the ones who have changed.
If the maple leaf cake placed on the stone table under the maple tree hadn't really disappeared, they might have quickly forgotten... This maple tree is special.
…
That's good.
The two old men were very satisfied with their relationship.
After all, I am older and cannot withstand too much stimulation.
That's it... they seem to get along with each other very well... it's very good.
…
"……tasty."
The boy swallowed the snack in his mouth, his eyes lit up slightly.
Most people find it difficult to resist delicious food.
Especially young children.
…
"It's delicious."
The old man's eyes suddenly narrowed into slits.
"Your grandma's craftsmanship in making this is top-notch."
The old man gave a thumbs up to the child.
…
The old lady who came back with the tea bowl happened to hear what the old man said and immediately gave him a slight glare.
"I'm actually bragging about it to my kids."
The old lady looked at the boy.
He said with a smile.
"If you like it, eat more."
"Grandma has done a lot."
…
"Grandma Shen, I'm coming."
Xiao Xiao took the tea bowl from the old lady's hand.
He poured the tea in one smooth motion.
…
Looking at the tea bowl pushed in front of him, the boy blinked.
…
The old man touched his palm and praised, "Master Xiao, I can see that you have some skills in your body."
Naturally, he was referring to the art of tea ceremony.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"My family runs a teahouse."
"It can be considered as a subtle influence."
…
"oh oh."
The two old men looked astonished.
There was a bit of surprise on the boy's face.
After all, it was the first time he met someone whose family owned a teahouse.
I always feel...a bit strange.
…
"No wonder."
The old man shook his head.
"I just said that your child's temperament looks unusual..."
