Chapter 2293 (two thousand two hundred and ninety-three) carved bowl
Although carving the pattern on the bowl with a sharp stone was not as simple as drawing the pattern on paper, she carved it bit by bit, seriously and with great precision.
In the process of carving, too much of the past emerged in her mind.
For countless days, she, Tie Jinjue's father and two children ate together with bowls with that pattern. The scenes at that time seemed to quickly surround her, but she knew very well that they were just... Fantasy.
Each time, the pointed end of the stone scratched the bowl and her heart at the same time.
However, she had already had that pattern in her heart, and it was deeply engraved.
The moment she finally carved the pattern completely on the bowl without a pattern, her heart, which was originally engraved with the pattern, had been scratched to pieces by the tip of the stone.
Looking at the bowl with the pattern engraved on it, she smiled with tears and thought: Since I can't draw it, I'll engrave it. The painting fades easily, but it's different if it's engraved. Now that it's engraved, I can finally do it. Use the bowl with this pattern again.
One day many years after Tie Jinjue's mother carved the pattern on the bowl with a pointed stone, Tie Jinjue's father was at home looking at the rice bowl with the same pattern on the table in a daze.
This was not the first time that Tie Jinjue's father looked at the pattern on the bowl in a daze.
When Tie Jinjue once again saw his father staring at the pattern on the bowl, he did something to distract his father's attention, but his father was still looking at the pattern.
At this time, Tie Jinqi came back from outside, shook the snowflakes on his body, and called his father.
Tie Jinjue still looked at the pattern on his rice bowl and responded to her.
Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue talked about the snow outside.
The father of the two suddenly remembered the conversation he had with their mother many years ago, and suddenly said to the two children: "Light two candles." It was clearly daytime, and although it was snowing, the sky was not that dark. , obviously there is no need to light candles in the room.
There is a stove in the room, so there is no need to rely on a small candle flame to keep warm.
Tie Jinqi and Tie Jin absolutely looked at each other, nodded, and each lit a candle.
The father of the two said to himself: "She said that the flame of a candle is not big, but it can illuminate a large area."
Tie Jinqi knew that there was no need to rely on candles to light up at this time, so he said "hmm".
Tie Jinjue also said "Hmm".
The two's father added: "I said, it's not bright, but it's still warm."
Of course, Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue both knew that there was a stove in the room and there was no need to rely on candles for heating, but they both nodded.
Their father did not notice the two nodding. They also knew that their father was thinking about their mother and did not pay attention to their reactions at that time.
The father of the two continued: "She said, it's cold outside, and there is a stove in this room. It's already quite warm. Looking at the flame of the candle will make you feel even warmer. I said, it warms my heart. After saying this, I saw her smiling at me. She said it was so warm that even if the candle was extinguished, I would still feel warm in my heart. I remember that I was smiling at that time. I said the candle in my heart would not be extinguished. The candle on the table cannot keep burning, but the candle in the heart can.”
At this point, the father of the two frowned, his eyes seemed a little hollow, and he looked at Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue blankly, at the two candles, and then at the pattern on the bowl.
