But after he noticed Xiao Xiao who turned to look at him, the old man suppressed his thoughts and showed a smile on his face, "Student Xiao, it's time to eat."

...

"good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

...

“…Let’s eat it first…The soup is not yet ready…”

The old man's introduction was blocked by the closed door.

The yard was silent.

"Huh~"

The cold wind blows.

It's like a bone-clearing knife, bringing a bitter coldness.

...

Dozens of yellowed and curled petals fell down one after another.

It was swept away by the wind again.

...

"Student Xiao, sit down."

The old lady poked her head out of the kitchen.

"You guys eat first."

"I have a few more dishes here and it will be ready soon."

...

From the corner of his eyes, he swept to the table with some rich dishes. Xiao Xiao looked at the old lady and raised his mouth, "These dishes are enough."

"Come with us to eat."

“A lot of it will be wasted.”

...

“Not much, not much.”

The old lady waved her hand.

"I haven't shown my skills for a long time."

"I'm also a little itchy."

"It's rare that there are guests coming to eat at home."

"Another a young man."

The old lady has

"I know young people have a big appetite."

"Student Xiao, you need to eat more later."

"It's best to finish it all."

"The old woman was happy."

The old lady looks like a "threatening".

"If there is more left, the old man and I don't know how many days it will take to eat."

...

"Don't burden other people's children."

The old man rolled his eyes.

"What if the child is full and you still have to endure it?"

"It's not good to eat too much."

...

"Aren't I afraid that Classmate Xiao is too polite?"

The old lady frowned slightly.

"I'm just polite."

"Don't be stupid enough to be so stupid that you can't eat it and still have to endure it."

"That's not good."

......

Xiao Xiao laughed, "I know."

"You don't have to worry."

......

Xiao Xiao and the old man sat down at the table.

The old lady is still working in the kitchen.

......

"Student Xiao."

After a brief silence, the old man spoke.

"You just said that there is also a plum tree in your yard?"

......

"Um."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

......

"Now there are not many plum trees at home."

The old man smiled.

It is rare that they met the two families who raised plum trees.

......

Xiao Xiao bent his eyebrows and eyes.

"My grandma picked up the plum tree from outside."

"At the beginning, I just had the idea of ​​trying to see if I could live."

"So she didn't tell the family that she picked up a plum tree and came back."

"Later, the plum tree survived and bloomed, and we realized that the old man picked up a plum tree and kept it at home."

......

The old man's face was a little stunned.

“…It’s really a coincidence.”

"Your plum tree was picked up by your grandma."

"The reason why my family planted plum trees was initially because of Lele's child..."

When talking about his grandson, the old man's expression couldn't help but feel a little dim.

The old man shook his head slightly and continued, "The child picked up a branch of a plum tree and thought about letting the branch bloom."

"What a kid."

The old man smiled and "complained", "I think it's the first time."

"If it were adults, who would have wanted the branches to bloom if they saw them?"

It is only the children who have such innocent and romantic ideas.

......

“…we picked up not all good plum trees.”

The old man murmured.

"Your one is an abandoned plum tree."

“Ours are a falling branch.”

"It's still more difficult for us."
