Chapter 872 Elders’ Consideration

During dinner, everyone in the Xiao family knew that Xiao Xiao had solved the problem.

The man surnamed He would never come to buy white plums again.

I was happy but also full of doubts.

"Xiaoxiao, how did you do it?"

Grandma Xiao asked curiously, and then did not forget to praise him, "My grandson is amazing."

"Such a difficult matter was solved in an instant."

In response to this, Xiao Xiao didn't know what to say except to put on a smile.

As for the previous question, he repeated what he had told Xiao's mother in the afternoon.

"Because he discovered that the blossoming plum tree was just a dream of his."

"Since it's just an ordinary plum tree, he naturally has no interest in buying it."

"How could this be a dream?"

Mother Xiao couldn't help but ask.

A guest happened to come during the day, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Now, she could finally ask the question that she had been holding back all day.

It is a fact that the white plum blossoms in their yard bloom in summer.

"Yes."

Grandma Xiao echoed, "Xiaoxiao, what do you mean, kid?"

"You're the only ones who talk too much."

Grandpa Xiao said something dissatisfied.

"Old man, what do you mean we are the only ones who talk too much?"

Grandma Xiao was also dissatisfied, "Aren't you curious?"

"grandmother."

Xiao Xiao's words immediately attracted the old lady's attention, and she stopped arguing with Grandpa Xiao.

"I took special measures."

"Let him think that the blossoming plum tree he saw earlier was just a dream."

"not real."

"Special means?"

Grandma Xiao and Mother Xiao looked at each other.

What method can make people have such a specific dream?

……

"Is it hypnosis?"

Father Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, and spoke hesitantly.

He saw this by chance on TV.

But after just a quick glance, he changed the channel.

It's just nonsense.

If hypnosis was really that powerful, the country would have banned it long ago.

……

"What hypnosis?"

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, and Grandpa Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and sneered.

"You guys are really slow."

The old man shook his head, looking angry at the lack of fighting spirit.

……

Xiao's father, mother, and grandmother all looked confused.

slow?

Why are they so slow?
……

"Old man, what do you mean?"

"Explain clearly."

Grandma Xiao raised her eyebrows and glared at Grandpa Xiao unceremoniously, "Why are you being so mysterious?"

……

"Am I being mysterious?"

Grandpa Xiao shook his head, "That's because you are stupid."

Then he looked at Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, "You are not as sharp as an old man like me."

……

Xiao's father and mother looked at each other, with a bitter smile on their lips.

"Dad, you're the smartest."

"Just tell me."

“Otherwise we really don’t understand.”

……

"Cough cough."

Grandpa Xiao suppressed the arc of his mouth and said seriously, "You haven't realized yet that the reason why the white plum blossoms in the yard always bloom is because of Xiaoxiao?"

……

"what?"

Everyone said in unison, all with a look of shock on their faces.

……

"Are you so surprised?"

Grandpa Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Don't tell me you didn't notice anything unusual about Xiaoxiao?"

……

Xiao's father, Xiao's mother and the old lady were speechless.

They really didn't notice anything.

……

"You guys."

Grandpa Xiao sighed, "Anyway, it's enough for you to understand this."

"You don't need to know too much about the rest."

It’s not a bad thing that my grandson is special, but it’s not something worth publicizing.

He didn't want his grandson to encounter any trouble or bad things because of this.

……

"Xiaoxiao, can you control whether the white plum blossoms bloom or not?"

Mother Xiao couldn't help but ask.

……

control?

this phrase……

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I guess so."...

"Did the white plum blossoms not bloom when those children came to the house?"

"Ah."

"No wonder."

……

Xiao's mother looked suddenly enlightened.

No wonder those kids didn’t mention Bai Mei.

She had even wondered before, maybe those children were too young to know that plum trees bloom in winter?

……

Although this possibility is very low.

Children nowadays are much more knowledgeable and have broader horizons than they did before.

However, even though it was strange, since the children didn't ask, she decided not to mention it.

Now I finally understand what's going on.

……

"Xiaoxiao, you-"

Xiao's mother hesitated to speak.

I had a lot of questions in my mind, but I didn't know where to start.

……

"As expected of my grandson."

Grandma Xiao narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's amazing."

……

"Don't talk nonsense everywhere."

Grandpa Xiao reminded his wife.

……

Grandma Xiao tried to hold back, but couldn't help but glanced at Grandpa Xiao, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Do you even need to say this?"

……

"As long as you know."

Grandpa Xiao looked at Father Xiao and Mother Xiao again, "You too."

"We just need to know a little about our child's specialness, and don't tell anyone else."

……

"We know, Dad."

Xiao's father and mother responded seriously.

……

“But this is much more convenient.”

Mother Xiao swallowed the words she wanted to ask and smiled instead.

……

The child is grown up and has his own sense of propriety in doing things.

The children who should be told will not hide it.

She wouldn't ask what she couldn't tell them.

This is the tacit understanding between mother and son, and also the consideration of the elders.

……

"Yes, we don't have to worry about anyone wanting to buy our white plums anymore."

The old lady said cheerfully.

……

"Isn't it?"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

……

Xiao Xiao's face was also filled with smiles.

That's fine.

They knew he was special, but they didn't need to understand him in depth.

After all, they can't see, and knowing too much will only cause troubles and distractions.

That wouldn't be beautiful.

……

The matter just passed like that.

The Xiao family did not ask Xiao Xiao any more questions.

……

After being reminded by Mr. Xiao, they also thought about the fish in the pond.

There was also the frog that Xiaoxiao clearly said existed but they had never been able to see it.

……

Maybe... this is another area that they cannot get involved in?

Since that was the case, and Xiao Xiao didn't seem to have done anything wrong, they had no intention of investigating further.

……

In their opinion, this is a blessing for Xiao Xiao.

In the past, they would never have thought that the plum blossoms could remain in full bloom even in the summer.

……

At first they thought that the plum tree was magical.

And their family is so lucky to have such a plum tree.

……

In the end, it turns out that the truly incredible thing... is the kid Xiaoxiao.

……

Admiring a tree full of flowers in the evening, under the bright moonlight, a faint halo of light and mist is emitted, making the tree seem extraordinary and beautiful.

The Xiao family members looked relaxed, sniffing the subtle fragrance.

I feel very happy.

The hard work of the day is swept away.

Why bother to get to the bottom of it?

That's enough.

Children have their own destiny.
