The casual life of the flat space

"I miss you for a long time..." the old ancestor muttered, and couldn't help shedding tears again. Mrs. Zhou next to her wanted to wipe her tears, but she took the handkerchief and wiped them herself, saying, "Good child, don't laugh at me. When people get old, they always think of the past."

"How could I laugh at you? I always miss my grandfather, but I just can't remember what he looks like. Then I thought, Grandpa is the wind, Grandpa is the rain, Grandpa is the cherry tree that accompanies me every summer, and then I feel at ease. You can also try my method, it works!"

"Haha, you kid! Then why did you give me the tree?"

"Because I saw Granny Zhou asking people everywhere, looking very anxious and sweating, I thought this must be very important, so I went up to ask. Granny Zhou gave me her purse without saying a word, hired a carriage for me, and told me to bring it as soon as possible.

After I got home, I suddenly thought, if it's not, I can still take it home and plant it, but if it is, how much will be enough? So I asked my neighbor to help me dig up the whole tree.

By the way, ancestor, those are some wild fruits from the mountains that I brought for you. Take a look and see if there are any you have seen or eaten when you were a child."

The old man signaled the maids to bring them to him, and then picked and tasted them one by one. After tasting them all, he signaled the maids to leave, and said to Bai Tieying: "Good boy, sit here, let me take a good look at you. You are old, your eyes are not so good, and you can't see clearly from a distance."

Bai Tieying followed the instructions and sat down in front of the old ancestor's bed. The old ancestor motioned her to move forward a little. Bai Tieying moved forward to a distance of one foot. The old ancestor reached out and touched her head, then touched her face, and said with a smile:

"Good boy, thank you. I am sorry for the trouble. From now on, just treat this as your own home. Come and visit us when you are free."

"Grandfather, what's the point of this? The carriage was hired by Grandma Zhou, and the tree was dug by Auntie San. At most, I just drove the carriage for a while.

Grandfather, I heard from Grandma Zhou that you haven't eaten for several days, and the eldest lady has no appetite for several days. This is not good! People are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. If you want to eat anything in the future, call me. I am familiar with the mountains and will bring it to you later. "

"Haha, okay, I'm really hungry. I'll come to you from now on."

"Then it's settled! The tree will stay here. You can look at it if you want, or eat it if you want. When you're done eating, tell me and I'll come get it. I'm going back today, or my uncle will be worried."

"Let the ancestors know that this child's uncle is Doctor Bai." Madam Zhou said.

"Doctor Bai? Oh, that's right, we should be closer! Okay, you go back first. Whenever I miss you, you have to come! Here, this is from me, take it." The old ancestor said as he took off a bracelet from his hand and handed it to Bai Tieying.

Bai Tieying quickly refused: "Grandfather, I can't accept this. I want the tree back when I come back."

"Haha, silly child, give me the tree. I'll take care of it for a few days and return it to you later! I like you. It's a gift from an elder, so I can't refuse it!"

Bai Tieying looked at Madam Zhou again and saw her nod, so he thanked her and accepted the bracelet.

After bidding farewell to the old ancestor, Madam Zhou escorted her out. Seeing that she wanted to return the bracelet in her hand, she said, "Good child, this is given to you by the old ancestor, so just keep it with peace of mind. You have helped our Zhou family a lot this time, and I want to thank you!"

As she spoke, she motioned for the maid who was waiting with a makeup box to come forward.

"This is a small gift from me, please don't refuse it. The old ancestor just said that gifts from elders cannot be refused. You don't know how grateful I am to you! You must come to see the old ancestor often in the future. She doesn't have the strength today. After two days, when she has recovered, you can come and chat with her."

"Madam, I..." Bai Tieying wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Madam Zhou.

"From now on, you can call me Grandma Zhou. We are also familiar with your uncle. It was only in the past few years that your uncle was away collecting herbs and not in the clinic that we changed doctors. When he first came back, it was he who took care of the old ancestor's health. Okay, go back today, so your uncle won't have to worry."

"Yes, Grandma Zhou, I'll go back first." Bai Tieying said goodbye to Madam Zhou and walked out of the main gate under the guidance of Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou had already prepared the family's carriage and sent Bai Tieying directly to the South City Medical Clinic before returning.

When Mrs. Zhou returned, she reported everything she had heard to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou smiled and ordered the maidservant beside her to give her ten taels of silver and a silver hairpin, saying that the silver hairpin was given by her and the silver was given on behalf of the ancestor. Mrs. Zhou kowtowed to thank her, and Mrs. Zhou asked her to get up. After thinking for a while, she asked again:

"Mother Zhou, what do you think of Bai Tieying?"

Mrs. Zhou didn't know what the question "how" was. After thinking for a while, she replied, "To answer your question, Madam, I think Bai Tieying is generous and decent, enthusiastic and not pretentious, which is somewhat unlike a child of her age. Maybe her family taught her well, but judging from her clothes, she doesn't seem to be from a wealthy family."

"Didn't she say her family was from Xianhe Village? I don't believe that a girl from a village could have such insight and cunning. I can only say that this child is really sincere. Our family can be said to have been doing business for many years, right? But we always consider how to lower the purchase price and sell at too high a price.

But look at this child. If she had only picked cherries, there would be nothing wrong with that. We thought so. Maybe someone with a quick mind would have picked a few branches for her, and we would have appreciated her kindness. We never expected that this silly child would have dug up the whole tree and even wanted to take it back in the end!"

When Mrs. Zhou heard what the eldest lady said, she understood that the eldest lady liked this child, so she followed suit. The master and servant then discussed some gossip about Bai Tieying.

Bai Tieying entered the clinic holding the box and saw her uncle treating a patient. She gestured and went to the backyard. When Bai Tiexiong saw his sister coming back, he immediately put down the flushing tube in his hand and rushed to his sister.

Bai Tieying was afraid that the box in her hand would hit him, so she went straight to the space to hug him. Who would have thought that he would stop and ask where the thing in his sister's hand was? Bai Tieying really wanted to ask him if he had just pounced on the box.

After greeting Uncle Dafu, Bai Tieying took out the makeup box again, placed it on the low couch in the yard where they had just sat to make medicine, and opened it layer by layer for Bai Tiexiong to see.
