Chapter 2182 Gift
The old man Xu Xu said a lot.
".I'm sorry, did the old man talk too much?"
……
"Hoo~"
"Wow~"
The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
……
There was a hint of regret in the old man's eyebrows.
"...Are you really not willing to come out and meet the old man?"
……
"Hoo~"
"Wow~"
"Click~"
A leaf falls from a branch.
It floated in front of the old man with the wind.
After being stunned for a moment, the old man immediately reached out and grabbed the leaf.
He had received leaves as gifts before.
This is...
"The answer you gave me?"
The old man murmured.
……
The little monster opened his eyes wide.
Why?
Not really.
This is a leaf blown off by the wind.
……
The old man clasped his fingers together.
"I know."
"If you don't want to, then you don't want to..."
A smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Thank you."
"I don't know if you heard it..."
"Thank you very much..."
……
The next day, the old man subconsciously looked at the bedside table.
Um?
The old man was stunned.
There are three fruits on the bedside table.
There are also three small purple flowers.
……
This is the first time I have received so many fruits...so many gifts...
The old man reached out and picked up a fruit.
My heart moved.
He looked out the window.
The morning sun fell on the windowsill, and the crisp chirping of birds came from the trees opposite.
The sky is very blue. It is a good weather today.
……
"Click?"
The sound of the door opening sounded.
"Grandpa!"
The little girl happily ran into the old man's room.
……
The old man turned his head.
The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes relaxed, "Nanny."
He remembered.
Yesterday, my younger son called and said that his family would come to see him today.
The eldest son is coming tomorrow.
My grandson has to attend cram school on Saturday.
……
The old man walked out of his room after a long absence and went to the park near the community.
After all, his body has just recovered, and it is difficult to go too far at once.
For lunch, he went to a newly opened restaurant in front of the community as he requested.
The younger son was a little surprised.
Ask him how he knew a new restaurant had opened here?
He laughed and said he received the flyer.
“Have all the flyers been sent to your home?”
The younger son's muttering made the old man smile.
He knew his son had misunderstood.
But there was no explanation.
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with saying that.
The flyer was delivered to his home.
It was still on his bedside table.
……
Dinner is eaten at home.
At his insistence, he also showed a small hand.
Hearing his granddaughter say that the food cooked by grandpa was delicious, the old man's face burst into laughter.
……
"Grandpa, what is this?"
The little girl ran out of the old man's bedroom with a clatter.
There was a round fruit lying on the palm of the hand stretched out in front of the old man.
……
This is...
The old man was slightly startled.
……
"Nanny, don't just take things from grandpa's house."
The child's mother called from the kitchen.
……
"No."
The little girl puffed out her cheeks.
There was a hint of guilt in his tone.
"Grandpa."
The little guy sneered.
The fleshy fingers grasped the fruit, feeling a little at a loss.
……
"It doesn't matter."
The old man smiled and touched the child's head.
"This is a wild fruit from the tree opposite."
"Nanny, do you want to try it?"
"Maybe a little sour."
……
"Dad, where did you get the wild fruits?"
The man is strange.
"Have you ever run out by yourself before?" The man frowned in disapproval, "What if it's like that-"
"No, no."
The old man waved his hand, "I didn't go out."
"What about this fruit?"
The man was a little suspicious.
"It was given to grandpa by the elf."
The old man blinked at his granddaughter.
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really?!"
The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "The elf gave it to grandpa?!"
"Yeah."
The old man smiled and nodded.
"Dad."
The man yelled helplessly.
Is it okay to fool children like this?
"What does it matter?"
The child's mother walked up to the man and said, "Look at how happy your daughter is."
Of course the man saw it.
So he just yelled softly.
Mainly because he was a little surprised.
"Dad has never said anything like this before..."
If only it was possible.
The man didn't understand how the old man could suddenly talk about elves.
“Not very good.”
The woman looked at the little girl tenderly, looking torn between wanting to eat the fruit but being reluctant to part with it.
“Don’t they all talk about old children?”
"My father has a childlike innocence and a good attitude, and his health will be good."
"My father recovered very well from injuries like this one."
"Yeah."
The man smiled.
At first, I found out that the old man had fallen down on a rainy day, which really scared him.
He often saw news about the old man falling down, his health deteriorating, and his sudden death soon after.
He is really worried...
fortunately.
The old man is recovering well.
……
"If my daughter doesn't eat, grandpa will eat it."
The old man teased his granddaughter.
The little girl immediately put her hands together, as if a cub was protecting its food, "No."
"This is Nannan's."
"Grandpa can't eat it."
……
The old man smiled.
"Nanny, hurry up and eat."
"If the fruit is kept for a long time, it will dry out and spoil."
“You can’t eat it then.”
"Wouldn't that be a waste of the elves' thoughts?"
……
"Ah?!"
When the old man said that the fruit would spoil, the little girl was a little frightened.
She opened her hand and stared at the fruit for a while.
Then-
"Click~"
……
"Haha~"
Seeing the little girl's face wrinkled up like a little old lady due to soreness, the old man laughed out loud.
"Dad."
But looking at the little girl's face, the man couldn't help but smile.
The woman started laughing the second the old man laughed.
……
"Click~"
The little girl took another bite.
"Isn't it sour?"
The man looked at his daughter worriedly, "Don't eat it if it's sour."
……
"Acid."
The little girl said vaguely, "But it's also a little sweet."
……
"Sour and sweet, right?"
The old man smiled knowingly.
……
"Yeah."
The little girl nodded vigorously.
His features were still wrinkled together.
"Click~"
The little girl took another bite.
"This is the fruit sent by the elf. I have to finish it."
……
"Tell her next time that green peppers are sent by elves..."
The woman whispered.
"Hey, hey..."
The man felt some sympathy for his daughter.
Isn’t this not good...
"Just kidding."
The corners of the woman's mouth turned up.
Man:...
No.
He couldn't tell from the way the woman looked just now that she was joking.
……
"Grandpa, next time the elf gives you something, you have to tell me."
At the entrance, the little girl opened her eyes wide and explained to the old man seriously.
The woman couldn't help laughing and patted her daughter's head.
"That was given to grandpa by the elf."
"It's not for you."
"Tell you what?"
"Huh? That..."
The little girl was speechless.
There was an anxious look on his face.
