Chapter 2480 Halfway Through the Year

Chapter 2480 Over
The two old men sprinkled soil on the petals together.

Soon, the hole dug by the two old men was filled up by their own hands.

The old lady looked up.

Sparse branches and flowers came into her sight.

A few rays of sunlight fell.

The brokenness of the flowers is further highlighted.

The old lady was clearly pursing her lips.

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that he heard the old man sigh.

Very light.

very light.

It disappeared without a trace when the wind blew it away.

"Grandpa, wait a moment, I'll help grandma up first."

Noticing that the two old men were about to get up, Xiao Xiao spoke first.

Even young people should be careful about dizziness when standing up after squatting for a long time.

What about the elderly?
Xiao Xiao's gaze swept across the faces of the two old men.

His aunt's words from before resurfaced in his mind.

These two old men are just over fifty years old.

But the white hair and wrinkles on the face...

There is also the turbidity in the eyes and the gloom around the body.
He really doesn't look like he's just over 50 years old.

Xiao Xiao helped the old lady and the old man up one after another.

Let them sit in a chair in the yard.

The old lady held her forehead.

I don't feel anything when squatting.

After I stood up, everything in front of me became blurry.

If the young man hadn't held her steadily, she might have fallen again.

Even now, she still feels a little dizzy.

The old man sat there expressionless.

Looks like nothing happened.

But the grip on the cane had obviously tightened a lot.

The veins on the back of the hand are bulging.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything to disturb the two old people.

He knew they needed time to relax.

".you."

The old lady raised her eyes.

He looked at the young man standing in front of him.

".What is your name?"

Hearing this, the old man also looked over.

"My name is Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Xiao-Xiao.Ah."

The old lady murmured.

"Student Xiao."

"Thank you for today."

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"I am sorry to bother you."

"If I hadn't come here, what just happened wouldn't have happened."

"No"

The old lady pursed her lips.

"You heard about us?"

Xiao Xiao was startled by the old lady's sudden words.

"I saw."

The old lady smiled.

"I know the one who was next to you before."

"It's the neighbor who lives upstairs from us."

"Did she tell you something?"

There was some understanding in the old lady's eyes.

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized.

It turned out that the old man noticed the aunt before.

He smiled slightly.

"You were not here when I came last time."

"My knocking disturbed that auntie."

"She came down to find me, and when she saw me looking for you, she told me something about you."

"She told me that those things were what she heard and they might not be true."

The old lady narrowed her eyes.

"I'm not angry."

"Tell me, what did she tell you about us?"

There was a hint of curiosity on the old lady's face.

Even though he tried hard to suppress it, the old man's focused gaze showed that he cared about the answer to this question.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao curved his eyebrows.

The tone is calm.

"It tells you something that happened to you."

"The one about our grandson being hit and killed by a car because of our negligence?"

There was a hint of sharpness in the old lady's voice.

It felt like the sound of nails scratching against glass.

"Old woman."

The old man reached out and held the old lady's hand, then gently patted his wife's hand. The bulging eyes on the old lady's thin face looked even more terrifying.

Xiao Xiao was not frightened by the old lady's sudden change of attitude.

He looked at the old man quietly.

Looks calm.

After a few seconds, the old lady, who had leaned forward due to her intense emotions, slowly shrank back.

The old man put his arm around the old lady's shoulders.

"All right."

"never mind."

The old lady seemed to sob.

But Xiao Xiao looked at the old man's face, but did not find any traces of tears there.

There is only a hint of redness in the corners of the eyes.

"Student Xiao."

The old lady stared at Xiao Xiao blankly.

"What else did she say?"

"Just said-"

"Old woman."

The old man held the old man's hand tightly, with a look of disapproval on his face.

"Grandma, grandpa, please forgive me for being so presumptuous."

Xiao Xiao squatted down so that he could look at the two elderly people at eye level, making it easier to communicate. "Can you tell me how old you are this year?"

The old lady was stunned.

She looked at the old man.

Some were caught off guard by unexpected questions.

Isn't she asking the question?

The old lady reacted quickly.

How did she become the one who had to answer the question?
The old lady was a little unhappy.

"We are both over fifty years old."

The old man patted the old lady's back soothingly.

Like comforting a child.

"She said that many people thought that something had happened to you guys?"

"You look very haggard."

Xiao Xiao said it very tactfully.

“You are only over fifty.”

Both the old lady and the old man looked a little dazed.

The old lady reached out and touched her face.

Are you feeling...haggard?
She turned her head and looked at her husband beside her.

The next second, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and even a little fear.

"How did you get so old?!"

The old man touched his face reflexively.

"what?"

"what!"

The old man's puzzled cry and the old lady's exclamation sounded almost at the same time.

The old lady looked at herself in the old man's eyes.

"Am I that old too?!"

The two old men looked at themselves in each other's eyes.

They all looked in disbelief.

"how come?"

The old lady's lips trembled.

Hands shaking.

Then the whole body was shaking.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.

"Didn't you notice it before?"

He didn't know what old people were like in the past.

But since the auntie had told him gossip before, he thought that the two old people should look quite different now.

So, even if I didn’t notice it, did my partner, who I spend every day with, not notice it either?
Are you so slow?

".No."

The old man shook his head.

The old lady was still in confusion.

I didn't hear what Xiao Xiao said at all.

“We are not young people.”

“I don’t care much about my appearance.”

As he recounted the story, the old man gradually calmed down, "So I don't look in the mirror very often."

“Besides, as we get older, our eyesight isn’t very good.”

"If you don't wear glasses, the scenes a little further away are actually a little blurry."

"But this does not affect our lives."

"Neither of us are used to wearing glasses."

"So, we don't wear glasses unless necessary."

"We've always been together."

The old lady spoke.

The old man reached out and stroked the old man’s wrinkled, thin face.

Her hands were trembling so much that she had to exert great effort to control herself so that she could place them gently and accurately on her husband's face.

"We spend every day together."

".You know, we've had some bad luck."
