Chapter 2480 Over 50 years old
The two old men sprinkled soil on the petals together.
Soon, the hole dug by the two old men was filled with their own hands.
The old lady raised her head.
Sparse branches and flowers came into her eyes.
A few rays of sunlight fell.
The broken flowers are increasingly outlined.
Obviously the old lady pursed her lips.
Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that he heard the old man sigh.
Very light.
Very light.
It was blown by the wind and disappeared.
"Grandpa, please wait a moment. I'll help grandma get up first."
Noticing that the two old men wanted to get up, Xiao Xiao took the first step.
Even young people should be aware of dizziness when standing up after squatting for a long time.
What about the elderly?
Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed across the faces of the two old men.
What his aunt said before appeared in his mind.
These two old people have just turned fifty.
But the white hair on his head and the wrinkles on his face...
There is also the turbidity under the eyes and the twilight energy around the body.
It really doesn't look like he's just over fifty.
Xiao Xiao helped the old lady and the old man up one after another.
Have them sit on a chair in the yard.
The old lady held her forehead.
I feel nothing while squatting.
After I stood up, my vision was blurry.
If the young man hadn't held her steady, she might have fallen again.
Even now, she still feels a little dizzy.
The old man sat expressionless.
It looked like nothing was wrong.
But the hand holding the crutches obviously tightened a lot.
The veins on the back of the hand are bulging.
Xiao Xiao did not disturb the two old men.
He knew they needed time to relax.
".You."
The old lady raised her eyes.
He looked at the young man standing in front of him.
".What's your name?"
Hearing this, the old man also looked over.
"My name is Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Xiao Xiao. Ah."
The old lady murmured.
"Classmate Xiao."
"Thank you for today."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"I'm disturbing you."
"If I hadn't come here, what just happened wouldn't have happened."
"No"
The old lady pursed her lips.
"Have you heard about us?"
Xiao Xiao was startled by the old lady's sudden words.
"I saw it."
The old lady smiled.
"I knew the person who was by your side before."
"It's the neighbor who lives above our house."
"Did she tell you something?"
There was some understanding in the old lady's eyes.
Xiao Xiao suddenly realized.
It turned out that the old man noticed the aunt from before.
He smiled slightly.
"You were not here when I came here."
"My knocking on the door disturbed that aunt."
"She came down to see me and when she saw me looking for you, she told me something about you"
"She told me that those things are what she heard, and they may not be true."
The old lady narrowed her eyes.
"I'm not angry."
"Tell me, what did she tell you about us?"
The old lady's face showed a bit of curiosity.
Even though he tried hard to suppress it, the old man's focused gaze showed that he cared about the answer to this question.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao frowned.
The tone is calm.
"Telling something about what happened to you."
"Our grandson was hit and killed by a car because of our negligence?"
The old lady's voice was a bit sharp.
It was like the harsh sound of nails scraping against glass.
"Old woman."
The old man reached out to hold the old lady's hand, and then gently patted his wife's hand. The bulging eyes on the old lady's thin face became more and more terrifying.
Xiao Xiao was not frightened by the old lady's sudden change of attitude.
He looked at the old man quietly.
Looks calm.
After a few seconds, the old lady's body, which was leaning forward due to intense emotions, slowly shrank back.
The old man put his arms around the old lady's shoulders.
"Okay."
"It's okay."
The old lady seemed to sob.
But Xiao Xiao looked at the old man's face and found no tears on it.
Only the corners of his eyes were faintly red.
"Classmate Xiao."
The old lady looked at Xiao Xiao blankly.
"What else did she say?"
"Just said-"
"Old woman."
The old man held the old man's hand tightly, with a hint of disapproval on his face.
"Grandma, old man, please forgive me for being presumptuous."
Xiao Xiao squatted down so that he was eye-level with the two old people sitting, making it easier to communicate. "Can you tell me how old you are this year?"
The old lady was stunned.
She looked at the old man.
Some were caught off guard by unexpected questions.
Isn't she asking the question?
The old lady reacted quickly.
Why did she have to answer questions?
The old lady was a little unhappy.
"We are all over fifty."
The old man patted the old lady's back comfortingly.
Like comforting a child.
"She said many people thought something else had happened to you?"
"You look very haggard."
Xiao Xiao said it tactfully.
"You are only over fifty"
The old lady and the old man both looked a little startled.
The old lady reached out and touched her face.
Very haggard?
She turned to look at her wife beside her.
The next second, her eyes widened in surprise and even a bit of horror.
"How did you get so old?!"
The old man touched his face reflexively.
"Huh?"
"Ah!"
The old man's confused cry and the old lady's exclamation sounded almost simultaneously.
The old lady looked at herself in the old man's eyes.
"Am I so old too?!"
The two old men looked at themselves in each other's eyes.
They all looked like they couldn't believe it.
"How could it be?"
The old lady's lips trembled.
Hands shaking.
Then the whole body was shaking.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
"Haven't you noticed it before?"
He doesn't know what old people were like in the past.
But since the previous aunt could tell him as gossip, he thought that the appearance of the two old people now should be quite different from before.
So, even if you don’t notice it, doesn’t your partner who you spend time with every day also notice it?
So slow?
".No."
The old man shook his head.
The old lady is still in confusion.
Didn't hear Xiao Xiao's words at all.
"We are not young people."
“I don’t care much about my appearance.”
As he narrated, the old man slowly calmed down, "I don't look in the mirror very much."
"Besides, as we get older, our eyesight is not very good."
“If you don’t wear glasses, the distant scenes will actually be a bit blurry.”
"But this will not affect our lives."
"We are not used to wearing glasses."
"So, we don't wear glasses unless necessary."
"We are always together."
The old lady spoke.
The old man reached out and touched the old man's wrinkled, thin face.
The trembling hands made her exert a lot of effort before she could control her hands to land gently and accurately on her husband's face.
"Get along day and night."
".As you know, something bad happened to us."
