The old lady’s performance couldn’t be better than interpreting a well-known saying...
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
…
The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes relaxed.
"Harmful."
"I didn't do anything."
The old lady waved her hands.
"But this kid usually does a lot for me."
Even in the past few years when he could not get over the pain of losing his wife and children, Xiao Yan became indifferent.
But he was not indifferent to her.
Xiao Yan complied with all the requests she made.
Xiao Yan is a good boy.
Even though Xiao Yan has changed a lot, this point has never changed.
He deserves a better life.
A happier life.
She really misses...
The sunshine that once smiled was like the little Yan of a big boy.
…
The old lady couldn't help but sigh.
Then the old man who realized what he was sighing smiled sheepishly at the young man in front of him.
"Let's go out."
"Young man, if you have nothing to do, would you like to have some tea with the old lady?"
…
Xiao Xiao agreed.
The old lady was very happy.
The child is not around.
Xiao Yan, whom she regarded as her son, was in this state again -
Go out early and come back late every day.
Although she wanted to pull him out of his painful emotions, she still couldn't find the solution.
She respects the other person's ideas.
Didn't disturb the other party too much.
Sometimes, people need space to heal alone.
But as long as there is a chance, the old man will not hesitate to use his best strength to push Xiao Yan.
…..
"It's been a long time since the old woman had tea with a young man."
The old lady smiled and pushed the brewed tea to the young man sitting opposite her.
"And some snacks."
"You can take whatever you want to eat."
"You're welcome."
…
Xiao Xiao picked up a piece of snack.
"……delicious."
After swallowing the snack in his mouth, Xiao Xiao smiled and said.
…
The old lady smiled happily.
"Oh, it's delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"These are all made by the old woman herself."
"After doing this all my life, I can still get the taste."
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"good."
…
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"If it's not enough here, there's more in the kitchen."
"The old woman did a lot."
"rest assured."
"I just made them this morning."
“The materials are all good.”
"Fresh."
As if she was worried that the young people in front of her might misunderstand that these snacks were "old goods," the old lady explained a few words too much.
She doesn't treat guests with old things.
…
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
Then he nodded with a smile.
"Um."
"You eat too."
"I'm the only one eating..."
And the old lady kept staring at him.
"I would feel embarrassed."
….
"well."
The old lady had deep smile lines at the corners of her eyes.
"I'll eat it too."
…
"...By the way, young man, I haven't asked you your name yet?"
The old lady opened her mouth, and this question suddenly flashed through her mind.
…
"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao introduced himself.
"Xiao of Dongxiao."
"The single word is Xiaoyongxiao."
…
"Xiao Xiao."
The old lady muttered, smiling and nodding.
"Good name."
"It's also quite cute..."
…
Um?
Xiao Xiao blinked.
I immediately reacted, because it sounded like a duplication of words?
He shook his head slightly.
He thought of the deer.
Lu Xiaoxiao’s name is really cute.
…
"Xiao Xiao."
The old lady's voice paused.
Then he said, "Where did you find Xiao Yan?"
…
Xiao Xiao gave an address.
…
"There..."
The old lady frowned.
It was farther than she expected.
What kind of store is there...
In any case, she finally knew where Xiao Yan might be.
This way next time Xiao Yan goes out to drink, she will have a place to look for.
Unlike the previous times, she made many phone calls to Xiao Yan...
Xiao Yan didn’t answer any of them.
She worried all night.
…
Xiao Yan came back in the early morning smelling of alcohol.
Still feeling cold and tired.
This kind of Xiaoyan made her swallow back the blame and words of concern that were almost in her throat.
She watched Xiao Yan return to his house.
It wasn't until the door was closed that she shook her head and returned home with a sigh.
We have to wait until the child has rested and his mind has regained consciousness before we talk about anything else.
But often, a man who is sober will blur the matter of his drinking.
It's not easy for her to hold on to her.
After all, she knew why the man drank to drown his sorrows.
If you argue with a man about this issue, wouldn't you just rub salt into the child's wounds again and again?
…
"well……"
The old lady sighed unconsciously.
When she heard her voice, the old lady was stunned.
…
"You are very worried about Uncle Yan."
Xiao Xiao put down the teacup in his hand.
The tea here is really good.
…
The old lady was slightly startled.
Then he smiled bitterly.
"yes."
"That kid has been stuck in the past for too long."
"He's still young."
Xiao Yan is not yet forty.
His life has just begun.
"I'm really worried sometimes..."
The old man lowered his eyes.
His own hand covered with age spots on the table came into view.
"The old lady is getting old."
"Maybe I'll leave anytime."
The old lady spoke very calmly.
By the time……
Who else will remind this child to take care of himself?
…
"...Xiao Yan's relationship with his family is not very good..."
The old lady shook her head slightly.
"It seems that Xiao Yan was against his parents' wishes by being with his wife."
"The old woman doesn't know why..."
"Xiao Li is a very gentle child... He matches Xiao Yan very well... Their children are also very cute..."
What a happy family of three...
The old lady was full of regret and sorrow.
God is really too cruel sometimes.
It doesn't leave anyone with any hope...
…
"In fact, after so many years, Xiao Yan's parents should have gradually accepted Xiao Li."
The old lady smiled almost imperceptibly.
"But... something happened to Xiao Li and the child..."
"Then there's no point in saying whether to accept it or not."
The deceased is gone.
The lives of those who are alive will continue.
"...Xiao Yan's parents hope that Xiao Yan can reorganize his family as soon as possible..."
"They seem to be asking people everywhere to introduce partners to Xiao Yan..."
The old lady pursed her lips.
"I also understand what Xiao Yan's parents think."
As a parent, how could the old lady not know what Xiao Yan’s parents think?
and……
"Actually, I also hope that Xiao Yan can try to start a new relationship."
The old lady smiled.
"Xiao Yan's condition is very worrying."
"Having a new relationship may help Xiao Yan get over the pain of the past faster..."
