The casual life of the flat space

"Child, you don't need to do those empty things when you go to Grandma Wu's house!" He patted the back of her hand with a little force. As a result, he found that Bai Tieying's hand was skinny and dry. He couldn't control himself again. He hugged Bai Tieying and said, "I'm really embarrassed for you! You didn't suffer this much when your parents were alive!"

Bai Tieying also put her arm around Grandma Wu's waist and said, "Grandma Wu, I'm not embarrassed. You and Grandpa Wu are still thinking about us! If you hadn't asked Auntie San to give us some money, Tiexiong and I...

I was wrong before. I shouldn't have treated you as outsiders. I was thinking the wrong way. You have been so good to me since I was a child. Even if I can't pay you back, I shouldn't have stopped visiting you."

"Oh, yes! Yes! I've seen him grow up, and he's no different from my own child. Grandma, it's just that his waist is not good, and his legs are also useless. He can walk around in the yard, but he can't walk far. That's all I have to say today. You have to bring Tiexiong to play more often in the future!"

"Okay, Grandma Wu, I understand."

"Good boy, you have grown up in the blink of an eye! Grandma is happy just looking at you! Oh! Look at me, her aunt! Quickly make two bowls of sugar water for the children!"

"No need, Grandma Wu, we just came to see you today. We have to go back now because we still have work to do at home!"

Bai Tieying knew that sugar was a rare commodity at that time. In his original memory, there was no white sugar. At most, the well-off families would use wheat straw to make some syrup. Brown sugar was even rarer. If a man bought brown sugar for a woman during her confinement, she would talk about it for the rest of her life.

"Hey, hey, don't be in a hurry to leave, grandma has something to tell you! You kid, you just finished speaking and you want to run away again!" Grandma Wu said and grabbed Bai Tieying's hand again. She didn't dare to struggle, for fear that Grandma Wu would fall. She also thought that something really happened, so she stopped.

"Yesterday your uncle said that your garden is all deserted?"

"Yes, it was left uncultivated before. Yesterday at noon I saw my uncle helping me put up the shoji. Then I went to clean it up in the afternoon and pulled out all the weeds."

"Oh, yes, that's right! It is said that we ordinary people dig for food in the soil, dig for food in the soil. Not only do you go up the mountain, but you also go to the fields?" Grandma Wu said with her eyes wide open.

Bai Tieying stuck out her tongue when she heard this. Grandma Wu patted her arm, and then rubbed it again, fearing that it was too heavy. Bai Tieying found it funny, and she also knew that the old lady really loved her.

"Now that you have tidied up the garden, I won't say much. Go ask your aunt for some vegetable seeds. It's too late to grow seedlings, and you don't have to work too hard. Just enough for you two sisters to eat will be fine.

The spring onions and Chinese cabbages in the garden have all come down. Just go to the garden and pick them. In another month, there will be more vegetables and we won’t be able to eat them all. I have told you this. Don’t be polite to grandma anymore!

Then take another 20 kilograms of food. It’s not that grandma doesn’t give more, but I’m afraid you two can’t carry more. You have to walk so far back! Come back for more after you finish eating.” Seeing that Bai Tieying was about to say something, Grandma Wu stopped him with a wave of her hand.

"It's OK if you didn't come before, but now that you're here, grandma won't let you go back empty-handed! Don't be embarrassed or pretend to be so. Just come to grandma's house whenever you want, and treat it as your own grandparents' home! Don't be afraid if anything happens. Just let grandma know, and we adults are here to help!"

Bai Tieying felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he watched the hunched old lady explain things to him word by word.

She didn't have any close relatives in her previous life, and she had no contact with them after her parents passed away. But the Grandma Wu in front of her gave her a feeling of being a relative. As the old saying goes, "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor." Such neighbors cannot be called neighbors, but "fellow villagers"!

"Okay, I'll listen to Grandma Wu. If you keep pretending to be nice to her, you'll spank Tiexiong!"

"Hey! That's right... What? Hey! You kid!" Grandma Wu didn't react at first and agreed with a few words. When she finally reacted, she was amused by Bai Tieying and burst into laughter.

She turned to Grandpa Wu and said, "Grandpa, look at this...hahahaha, Tieying is such a kid, hahahaha...oh my, she made me laugh so hard that I almost choked!"

Grandpa Wu glared at Bai Tieying, lowered his head and continued to repair the hoe in his hand, saying: "Humph! She is also a naughty girl, just like her father!"

Bai Tiexiong reacted, looked around with his eyes, then laughed and said, "Okay, spank me!"

What he said made everyone laugh.

Asking Grandma Wu to stay, Bai Tieying went to ask Aunt Wu for seeds and food. She also went to the garden to pull out some onions and some green vegetables.

Accepting other people's kindness is also a virtue, not to mention that Bai Tieying was planning to sell cherries and would be able to pay back the money soon! There is really no need to calculate clearly when people get along with each other, as long as we are willing. For someone like Grandma Wu who is sincere, calculating clearly would hurt the relationship.

Before leaving, Bai Tieying took Bai Tiexiong and bowed to the two old people sincerely.

"Grandpa Wu, Grandma Wu, we are going back today. We will come to see you when we are free. I hope you two will live a long life. When Tiexiong and I become successful, we will honor you!"

"Oh, good! Good! We will all live well and wait for your filial respect!"

Bai Tieying returned with a full load, carrying the backpack and holding Bai Tiexiong's little hand, and walked home.

"Iron Bear, do you have any ideas for today's trip?"

"Ah? What's your idea?"

Seeing that his sister didn't say anything, Bai Tiexiong thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Wu is a good person, Grandpa Wu, I'm a little scared..."

"Haha, our Tiexiong also knows how to judge people!" Bai Tieying waited for a while and when he saw that he had nothing to say, he praised him.

"Tie Xiong, since we have no parents, we are definitely a little different from others. But that just means we have less people to rely on in the future, not that we are inferior to others. I was wrong before. I can't stop interacting with people just because I owe them money. Wouldn't that hurt their feelings even more?

In fact, my parents have left us a huge fortune, which is not gold or silver, but people's hearts. Just like Aunt Wu, without the permission of Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu, they are also a big family, how could they have been giving us food for the past few months?

And the two old people were not looking at us, but our grandparents, our parents. It was because they saw their character that they were willing to take care of us after they were gone, and it was because they believed that we were also good children and provided us with help.

What I want to tell you is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand some things now. Isn’t that what I am doing? Just like today, watch from the side, remember in your heart, and think in your mind. One day you will understand, or even be smarter than me! "
