Chapter 3382 Neighbor
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"It's his luck to have you as his neighbor."
Not every neighbor can be like the old lady.
The old lady’s performance couldn’t be better than interpreting a well-known saying...
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
……
The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes relaxed.
"Harm."
"I didn't do anything."
The old lady waved her hand.
"On the contrary, this child has done a lot for me."
Even in the past few years when he could not get over the pain of losing his wife and children, Xiao Yan became indifferent.
But he was not indifferent to her.
Xiao Yan complied with all the requests she made.
Xiao Yan is a good boy.
Even though Xiao Yan has changed a lot, this point has never changed.
He deserves a better life.
A happier life.
She really misses it...
Sunshine who once smiled, Xiao Yan who was like a big boy.
……
The old lady couldn't help but sigh.
The old man who immediately realized that he was sighing smiled sheepishly at the young man in front of him.
"Let's get out."
"Young man, if you have nothing to do, would you like to have tea with the old lady?"
……
Xiao Xiao agreed.
The old lady was very happy.
The child is not around.
Xiao Yan, whom she regards as her son, is in this state again-
Go out early and come back late every day.
Although she wanted to pull him out of his painful emotions, she couldn't find the solution.
She respects the other person's ideas.
Didn't disturb the other party too much.
Sometimes, people need space to heal alone.
But as long as there is a chance, the old man will not hesitate to use his greatest strength to push Xiao Yan.
…..
"It's been a long time since the old lady had tea with the young people."
The old lady smiled and pushed the brewed tea to the young man sitting opposite her.
"And snacks."
"You can take whatever you want."
"You're welcome."
……
Xiao Xiao picked up a piece of snack.
"...It's delicious."
After swallowing the snack in his mouth, Xiao Xiao smiled.
……
The old lady beamed.
"Oh, it's delicious."
“If it’s delicious, eat more.”
"These are all made by the old woman herself."
“After doing this all my life, I can still get this taste.”
……
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Okay."
……
The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"If it's not enough here, there are more in the kitchen."
"The old woman did a lot."
"Don't worry."
"I just made them this morning."
"The materials are all good."
"Fresh."
As if she was worried that the young people in front of her would misunderstand that these snacks were "old goods", the old lady explained a few words too much.
She doesn't treat guests with old things.
……
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
Then he nodded with a smile.
"Yeah."
"You eat too."
"I'm the only one eating..."
And the old lady kept staring at him.
"I would feel embarrassed."
…….
"Okay."
The old lady had deep smile lines at the corners of her eyes.
"I'll eat it too."
……
"...By the way, young man, I haven't asked your name yet?"
The old lady opened her mouth, and this question suddenly flashed through her mind.
……
"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao introduced himself.
"Xiao of Dongxiao."
"The single word is Xiaoyongxiao."
……
"Xiao Xiao."
The old lady muttered, smiling and nodding.
"Good name."
"It's quite cute..."......
Um?
Xiao Xiao blinked.
I immediately reacted, because it sounded like a duplication of words?
He shook his head slightly.
He thought of the deer.
Lu Xiaoxiao’s name is really cute.
……
"Xiao Xiao."
The old lady's voice paused.
Then he said, "Where did you find Xiao Yan?"
……
Xiao Xiao gave an address.
……
"There..."
The old lady frowned.
It was farther than she expected.
What kind of store is there...
No matter what, she finally knew where Xiao Yan might be.
This way, the next time Xiao Yan goes out to drink, she will have a place to look for.
To avoid having to call Xiao Yan many times like before...
Xiao Yan didn’t answer any of them.
She worried all night.
……
Xiao Yan came back in the early morning smelling of alcohol.
Still feeling cold and tired.
This kind of Xiao Yan made her swallow back the words of blame and concern that almost reached her throat.
She watched Xiao Yan return to his house.
It wasn't until the door closed that she returned home with a sigh and shook her head.
We have to wait until the child has rested and his mind has regained consciousness before we talk about anything else.
But often, a man who is sober will blur the matter of his drinking.
It's not easy for her to hold on to it.
After all, she knew why the man drank to drown his sorrows.
If you argue with a man about this issue, wouldn't you just rub salt into the child's wounds again and again?
……
"Alas..."
The old lady sighed unconsciously.
When she heard her voice, the old lady was stunned.
……
"You are very worried about Uncle Yan."
Xiao Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand.
The tea here is really good.
……
The old lady was slightly startled.
Then he smiled bitterly.
"Yeah."
"That kid has stuck himself in the past for too long."
"He's still young."
Xiao Yan is not yet forty.
His life has just begun.
"I'm really worried sometimes..."
The old man lowered his eyes.
His hand covered with age spots on the table came into view.
"The old woman is getting old."
"Maybe I'll leave anytime."
The old lady spoke very calmly.
By then...
Who else is going to remind this kid to take care of himself?
……
"...Xiao Yan's relationship with his family is not very good..."
The old lady shook her head slightly.
"It seems that Xiao Yan was against his parents' wishes by being with his wife."
"The old woman doesn't know why..."
"Xiao Li is a very gentle child... He matches Xiao Yan very well... Their children are also very cute..."
What a happy family of three...
The old lady was filled with regret and sorrow.
God is so cruel sometimes.
It doesn’t leave anyone with any hope...
……
"In fact, after so many years, Xiao Yan's parents should have gradually accepted Xiao Li."
The old lady smiled almost imperceptibly.
"But...something happened to Xiao Li and the child..."
"Then there's no point in saying whether to accept it or not."
The deceased is gone.
The lives of those who are alive will continue.
"...Xiao Yan's parents hope that Xiao Yan can reorganize his family as soon as possible..."
"They seem to be asking people everywhere to introduce partners to Xiao Yan..."
The old lady pursed her lips.
"I also understand what Xiao Yan's parents think."
As a parent, how could the old lady not know what Xiao Yan's parents were thinking?
And...
"Actually, I also hope that Xiao Yan can try to start a new relationship."
The old lady smiled.
"Xiao Yan's condition is very worrying."
"Having a new relationship may help Xiao Yan get over the pain of the past faster..."
