Chapter 2482 Flowers Bloom
"Really?"

The child looked at his grandfather.

The old lady nudged the old man with her elbow.

The old man nodded immediately.

"real."

"Grandpa and grandma will work together with Lele to make it bloom, okay?"

……

"it is good!"

The child happily responded loudly.

"Bloom, bloom..."

The child waved the branch in his hand happily.

Jumping around in place like a little jumping bean.

……

Both old men frowned.

This kid...

……

Since they had promised their grandson, the two old people did a lot of homework.

I checked a lot of information and asked a lot of people who knew about this aspect.

The moment they finally planted the branches, the three of them, grandfather and grandson, seemed to be performing some extremely solemn ceremony.

……

After that, every day, the child would run to the place where the plum branch was planted, hoping that the branch he picked up from the snow would bloom into the beautiful plum blossoms in his memory.

"Red, white, yellow..."

The child mumbled.

An old lady passing by asked curiously, "Le Le, what are you mumbling to yourself?"

"grandmother."

The child held his chin with both hands, his eyes still staring at the branch.

"I'm trying to guess what color its flowers are."

“Don’t plum blossoms have many colors?”

……

"What color flowers does Lele hope it will bloom?"

The old lady continued asking questions following the child's words.

"Um……"

The child's thin eyebrows were tangled together.

"White looks good..."

“Red looks good…”

“Yellow looks good too…”

……

puff~
The old lady couldn't help laughing.

Aren’t they all beautiful?
Under such circumstances, it would take an unknown amount of time for the child to choose the best looking one.

"Grandma knows."

The old lady smiled and said, "No matter what color the flowers on this plum tree bloom, Lele will like them very much, right?"

".Um."

The child tilted his head and then grinned.

"I like all of them."

"So, bloom quickly~"

……

Despite the children's eager anticipation, the plum branches never bloomed.

The two old men didn't understand which step they took wrongly.

But they couldn't bear to see the disappointed look in their children's eyes.

While their grandson was taken out to play by his parents, the two old people bought a small plum tree.

Really small.

After all, even a kindergarten child would not believe that after going out for a few days, the branches would turn into a mature plum tree when he came back.

The two old men hesitated for a while, but still did not pull up the branches that the child picked up and throw them away.

They knew, even though they couldn't understand it, that the child liked the branch very much.

I am looking forward to this branch blooming flowers.

This is probably what is called affinity.

The two old people planted the small plum tree they bought next to the tree branches.

At the end of winter, the two old people finally let the child, who ran straight to the plum tree in the yard as soon as he came back, see the blooming plum blossoms.

The child’s happy smile at that time has always remained in their minds.

There was never a trace of gloom.

Even though the child had left them forever, looking at the plum tree, they still felt as if the child was still by their side.

They take care of the plum tree.

It's as if nothing has changed.

but
"Changed"

The old lady lowered her eyes and looked at her wrinkled hands.

"The plum tree is sick..."

“We don’t know when it started to get sick.”

"By the time we found out, the situation was already very serious."

".They all said that this plum tree is beyond saving."

“But we don’t believe it.”

"This is the plum tree that the child took care of with us."

"That child loves this plum tree very much."

"Every time you come here, the first thing you see is this plum tree."

"The child died because of our negligence." The old lady's voice was hoarse and trembling.

".This plum tree that he took good care of also lost its life because of our negligence."

"I disagree."

The old man's voice was soft, but it revealed his strong will.

“I don’t believe what those people say.”

“The plum tree will be fine.”

“It will bloom.”

"Its flowers are so fragrant."

"look!"

The old lady raised her voice.

“That plum tree has survived to this day.”

"It's alive."

“They are all liars.”

"What do you mean this plum tree cannot be saved? What do you mean this plum tree will wither soon..."

“But it’s still alive and well.”

The old lady's tone was excited.

“As long as we don’t give up”

The old lady's voice stopped suddenly.

The look of loss on his face made it hard to disturb him.

After a long while, the old lady spoke again.

".As long as we don't give up."

“I don’t want to give up Lele”

“That child is still so young”

"He just called me grandma..."

The childish voice would sometimes echo in her ears when she woke up in the middle of the night.

".It's all blood"

"That child didn't even say something as simple as, 'It hurts.'"

“I called him desperately.”

"LeLe, LeLe, LeLe. LeLe!"

“But he never responded to me again.”

"The doctor asked us to mourn."

"Condolences?"

"I can not be reconciled."

"They haven't done anything yet, why are they asking me to mourn?"

“They haven’t done anything yet…”

"Why did you give up Lele without my permission?"

That day, the old lady fell to the ground, pulling at the doctor's white coat, unaware of the tears on her face, and just begged stubbornly-
"Save Lele."

"Save him"

"He's still breathing."

“He can still be saved.”

In the end, the old man forcibly pulled open the old lady's almost cramped hands.

The doctor's white coat was a mess.

The old lady wanted to struggle.

But his eyes went dark and he passed out.

When the old lady woke up again, everything was settled.

She didn't want to believe it.

Despite the objections from his family, doctors and nurses, he kept shouting and clamoring to see his grandson.

Like crazy.

"enough!"

She is the old lady’s daughter-in-law.

The young woman, who always had a well-made-up look, now looked disheveled, with bloodshot eyes from crying.

"he died!"

"LeLe is dead!"

"My son is dead!"

The woman screamed hysterically.

"I'm already feeling miserable!"

The woman stared at the old lady with red eyes, "It's so uncomfortable!"

The woman clutched her clothes tightly at her chest and gasped loudly.

"So. I'm not in the mood to comfort you anymore!"

"boom!"

After saying these words, the woman turned and left.

The door slammed loudly as it was slammed shut.

"Why-?!"

After a few seconds, the old man's son lowered his outstretched hand.

He looked at the two old men.

"Dad, Mom, don't be angry."

"She's just in a bad mood-"

The old man's son sighed.

He couldn't speak anymore.

What happened to the child's mother...

Everyone here knows it.
