Chapter 2486 Hindsight
"did you find it?"

With the sound of light footsteps, the old lady's voice was getting closer.

……

The old man walked over behind the old lady.

……

Xiao Xiao turned his head.

"without-"

Then he stretched out his hand as if he had discovered something.

After he withdrew his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

He spread out his palms.

The silver ornaments emit a cool halo.

The few small silver-blue gems dotted among them attracted the attention of the two old men.

"found it."

Xiao Xiao frowned.

"Thanks for coming."

"Brought me luck."

……

The young man's words made the two old men's somewhat tense expressions relax a little.

The old lady shook her head, "What does it have to do with us?"

"You have sharp eyes."

"lucky."

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly.

"it's beautiful."

"So you lost something so valuable."

"You said before that it wasn't something important."

The old lady was a little dissatisfied.

This young man is great.

Such a beautiful and expensive piece of jewelry is just thrown away.

Fortunately, she insisted yesterday that the young man come over today.

Otherwise, if she discovered such an ornament one day and wanted to find someone then... she wouldn't be able to find him.

……

"The other kid doesn't want to trouble us."

The old man tapped the ground with his cane to defend Xiao Xiao.

What a good kid.

To be honest, when they found that their faces were different from what they remembered and were too old, having such a young man by their side made them feel much better.

If it were just him and his wife, they might end up in a dead end.

……

It's nice to have someone they can talk to and share their worries with.

It's just that the child is wronged and has to listen to the complaints of two unrelated old people.

……

"I know."

The old lady muttered.

The child's intentions were so obvious, how could she not see it?
"It's good to find the thing."

There was a faint smile in the old lady's eyes.

Then a hint of hesitation appeared on the old lady's face.

A few seconds later, the old lady's voice sounded with a hint of hesitation. "It's all my fault. I kept talking to you for too long."

"It took up a lot of your time."

"Look, it's almost noon. If you don't mind, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving?"

"This is good."

The old man tapped the ground with his cane.

"Young man, please stay and have a meal before you leave."

The old lady nudged the old man with her elbow.

"What young man?"

"Didn't you hear anyone introduce you just now?"

"My surname is Xiao."

"oh oh."

The old man felt a little aggrieved.

Is there any conflict with him calling the other person youngster if the other person's surname is Xiao?
But this was just a fleeting thought.

He also knew that he was still calling the other person a young man after the other person had already introduced himself.
Doesn't it mean that he didn't even remember the person's name?

This is so rude.

"I'm sorry, Xiao."

The old man admitted his mistake straightforwardly.

"I wasn't paying attention for a moment."

"do not worry."

"The old man is old, but he still has a good memory."

It’s just a name, how could he not remember it?
"Ah."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Old man, you are still young."

The old man touched his face subconsciously.

The image I had seen before popped into my mind.

He smiled bitterly.

He doesn't look young at all now. As time goes by, the old man's anxiety increases instead of decreases.

For no reason.
Maybe there is no reason.
The way he looked now was very different from how he remembered himself.

He married early.

Before that incident happened, he and his wife were the youngest grandparents among their neighbors and friends.

Therefore, others always look at me with envy or make fun of me in a "sour" tone.

Although they are not the kind of people who care that much about age, they still feel happy every time they are teased like this.

No wonder.
The old man recalled the expressions of the acquaintances he met by chance during this period of time.

He had always thought that they were concerned about Lele's departure and the relationship between him and his wife.
Neither he nor his wife had the energy to study other people's expressions.

I won't take their expressions to heart...

Now that I think about it
What a coincidence.

They just missed the opportunity to notice the changes in their appearance earlier.

"I'll help you cook."

Xiao Xiao agreed to stay for dinner.

According to his personality, he doesn't like to stay in a stranger's home for dinner.

However, the mystery has not been solved yet.

If he could stay a little longer, he would not refuse.

"no, I'm fine."

The old lady waved her hands hurriedly.

"We asked you to stay for dinner."

"How can we ask guests to help with cooking?"

"how?"

Seeing Xiao Xiao about to speak, the old lady's face slightly stiffened, "Don't you believe me?"

"I'm not so old that I can't even cook."

"Do you think the old woman can no longer take care of herself?"

The old lady's last sentence was a bit harsh.

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"how come?"

"Then I look forward to your feast."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao's reaction made the old lady's slightly frowned brows relax.

"I can't guarantee a good meal."

“But the taste of home cooking is still guaranteed.”

The old lady turned and went to the kitchen.

The scene he caught out of the corner of his eye made him slightly stunned.

“This tree grows really fast.”

She muttered something.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Is this plum tree growing fast?”

The old lady was stunned.

Was heard?

This young man has excellent hearing.

The old lady was a little emotional.

He is indeed a young man.

She suddenly discovered something else.

It seems that the old man has called her several times recently...

Her hearing
She couldn't help but rub her ears.

Slightly raise the field of vision.

She looked a little dazed.

Why is she posting now?
She paused.

She discovered.
This was not the only thing she had just discovered.

During this period, she always seemed to be a step behind.

really
I'm old.

The old lady's mind was surging, but her expression did not change much.

She was used to this kind of insincerity.

She nodded to Xiao Xiao.

"Ah."

“It’s never been this high before.”

After all, the two old guys bought this tree to replace the branch that Lele picked up.

Although it was impossible to achieve perfection, she and the old man still tried their best to achieve what they thought was perfection.

How big can a branch be?

The small plum tree they chose took them a long time to find.

A very small plum tree.

But it is also a plum tree.

It is much larger than a tree branch.

They were nervous.

Unexpectedly, the result was a happy one for everyone.

They are very happy.

It's never been this high before.
Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.
