Chapter 2486 Hindsight


Chapter 2486 Hindsight

"Did you find it?"

With the sound of slight footsteps, the old lady's voice got closer and closer.

……

The old man walked over behind the old lady.

……

Xiao Xiao turned his head.

"No-"

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

After retracting his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

He opened his palms.

The silver jewelry exudes a cool halo.

Several small silver-blue gems embellished among them attracted the attention of the two old men.

"Found it."

Xiao Xiao arched his eyebrows.

"Thanks for coming."

"Brings me luck."

……

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

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

"It's your sharp eyes."

"Good luck."

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly.

"So beautiful."

"It turned out that such a valuable thing was dropped."

“I said it wasn’t something important before.”

The old lady was a little dissatisfied.

This young man is good.

Such a beautiful and expensive jewelry, I just didn’t want it.

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

Otherwise, if she discovers such an accessory one day, she will look for it... but she won't be able to find it.

……

“My children don’t want to trouble us either.”

The old man knocked on the ground with his cane and defended Xiao Xiao.

What a good kid.

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

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

……

It's nice to have someone to talk to, to share things with them...

It's just that the children of others have been wronged and listened to two unrelated old people complaining about their bitterness.

……

"I know."

The old lady muttered.

The child's intentions are so obvious, how could she not see it?

"It's good to find something."

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

Then the old lady's face showed some hesitation.

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

"It took you a lot of 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 leaving."

The old lady bumped the old man with her elbow.

"What young man?"

"Didn't you hear the introduction just now?"

"My surname is Xiao."

"Oh."

The old man felt a little aggrieved.

Is there any conflict between someone named Xiao and calling him a young man?

But this was just a momentary thought.

He also knew that he still called him a young man after the other party had already introduced himself.

Doesn't it mean that he didn't remember the person's name at all?

This is too rude.

"Sorry, classmate Xiao."

The old man readily admitted his mistake.

"I didn't pay attention for a moment."

"Don't worry."

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

It's just a name, can he still remember it?

"Yeah."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Master, you are still young."

The old man subconsciously touched his face.

The appearance he saw before jumped into his mind.

He smiled bitterly.

He doesn't look young at all now. As time went by, the old man's uneasiness increased instead of decreasing.

No reason.

Maybe it can’t be said that there is no reason

The way he looks now is so different from how he remembers himself.

He married young.

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

Therefore, I am always looked at with envy or teased in a "sour" tone by others.

Although they don't care about age so much, they feel happy every time they are teased like this.

No wonder.

The old man remembered the looks on their faces when he met acquaintances by chance when he went out during this period.

He always thought that they were worried about Lele's departure and the state of him and his wife.

Neither he nor his wife had the time to study other people's expressions.

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

Thinking about it now

It’s one coincidence after another

They just missed noticing 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 really like to stay at strangers' homes for dinner.

However, the mystery has not been solved yet.

If he could stay a little longer, he wouldn't refuse.

"No, no need."

The old lady waved her hands hurriedly.

"We invited you to stay for dinner."

"How can there be any reason to ask guests to help cook?"

"What?"

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

"The old woman is not so old that she can't even cook a meal."

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

The last sentence the old lady said was a bit harsh.

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"How could it be?"

"Then I'm looking forward to your feast."

"Yeah."

Xiao Xiao's reaction made the old lady's frown relax.

“A feast is not guaranteed.”

“But the taste of home-cooked food is still guaranteed.”

The old lady turned and went to the kitchen in the house.

The sight he caught out of the corner of his eye made him slightly startled.

"This tree grows so fast."

She muttered something.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"This plum tree grows quickly?"

The old lady was stunned.

Been heard?

This young man has a really good ear.

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 reach out and rub her ears.

Vision slightly raised.

Her expression was a little dazed.

Why did she just post it now-

She paused.

She discovered.

That's not the only thing she discovered now.

During this time, she always seemed to be slow.

Sure enough

It's old.

The old lady's mind was like turbulent waves, but her face didn't change much.

She was used to this lack of candor.

She nodded to Xiao Xiao.

"Yeah."

"It has never been this high before."

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

Although there was no way to make it perfect, she and the old man still tried hard to achieve what they thought was perfection.

How big can a branch be?

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

A very small plum tree.

But it is also a plum tree.

It's still much bigger than a tree branch.

They felt uneasy.

Unexpectedly, everyone was happy with the result.

They are very happy.

It has never been this high before

Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
