Chapter 20 Lively Courtyard, Contentment
In a small town, in the courtyard of an old woman.
Different from the last time Cheng Fan came, the courtyard is now very lively.
After hearing Cheng Fan's words, the old woman knew that her time was running out.
So I took one last look at those lovely children and called them all back from the field.
About a dozen of the original children, now all gathered in the courtyard, making the originally peaceful courtyard as lively as the Chinese New Year.
We haven't seen each other for a long time, but when we see each other here, everyone is asking for help, with smiles on their faces.
Of course, everyone who comes back will first say hello to the old woman.
Looking at the scene in front of her, a knowing smile appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face.
However, the old woman at this time looks much more haggard than she did half a month ago.
Half a month ago, I just looked a little weak.
But now his face is full of haggard and tiredness, and his face has lost the look it had half a month ago.
His whole person gave off the aura of being old and dying.
Compared with the state half a month ago, it is simply a world of difference.
Obviously, these "children" who came back also noticed the old woman's condition.
It's just that each of them consciously didn't mention it.
Instead, he gathered around the old man and talked to him.
They talked about what they had seen and heard outside in the past few years, some interesting things, etc., without any hint of dissatisfaction at work.
The old woman is like a real grandma in their hearts.
Not saying those bad things is naturally to prevent the old man from worrying.
In the courtyard, Cheng Fan, who had cast a concealment spell on himself, stood quietly aside, looking at everything in front of him with deep emotion in his heart.
These people who work hard outside have always reported only good news and not bad news.
This is the kind of belief that goes deep into the bones of China.
I looked at them one by one, smiling next to the old woman and saying how they were doing outside, how their work was going smoothly, etc.
Seeing them like this, the old woman was also moved by their smiles, and she would laugh and chime in from time to time.
A very heartwarming picture.
However, only they themselves know the true situation of these people who are working hard outside.
As for work going smoothly and no setbacks?
Such things are just conjectures in the minds of the workers.
Who works outside the home without encountering some setbacks?
Insults from superiors, suppression, showing off, etc...
The old woman naturally knew this too, but seeing the smiles on the faces of the children around her, the old woman would not point out many things.
It wasn't until later that another person entered the courtyard.
He held his child and his wife in his arms and entered the courtyard from the outside.
When the old woman saw this scene, she was immediately very happy.
He quickly asked this person to take the child over and let her, an old woman, take a look.
When the child came into her arms and she looked at the child's tender little face, the doting look in the old woman's eyes almost overflowed.
This moment is also the happiest time for the old woman.
"You guys! You should also learn from Liu Qing and start a family as soon as possible. Look at how beautiful this fat little guy is!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a sense of embarrassment.
Everyone kept replying: "Soon, soon, it won't take long."
But the old woman shook her head, and while teasing the little baby in her arms, she said, "Old lady, I guess I won't have the chance to see you brats get married and have children."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
As soon as the old woman said this, the group of people immediately didn't like hearing it: "You can live for at least another twenty years! Not only will I get married by then, but my son will get married soon!"
"Hehehe..."
The old man smiled, but did not continue.
She knows her own body best.
Over the past half month, my body functions have declined rapidly.
I'm afraid I only have a few days left before I die...
The old woman suddenly thought of what Cheng Fan reminded her before leaving half a month ago.
Suddenly a smile appeared on his face again.
Fortunately, after listening to Cheng Fan's words, he called all these brats back.
Otherwise, you will have no choice but to leave with regrets.
Thinking of this, the old woman suddenly glanced in the direction of the courtyard door, and then her eyes showed a bit of loss.
In the end, Cheng Fan still didn’t come over...
Right!
The child has now inherited the Taoism of his parents and has become an outsider. Worldly matters should not drag him down.
Thinking of this, the old woman laughed.
I thought of Cheng Fan's appearance half a month ago, as well as Cheng Fan's miraculous abilities.
Perhaps among this group of children, only Cheng Fan is the most promising.
Cheng Fan saw this scene and then sighed slightly.
Originally, Cheng Fan planned to just watch quietly and stay with the old woman until the last step.
But when he saw the old woman's look just now, Cheng Fan couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
When dusk fell and all these people returned to their homes, Cheng Fan's figure slowly emerged.
The old woman was not surprised when Cheng Fan appeared in front of her.
Instead, he smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Cheng Fan smiled and shook his head, but did not answer.
The old woman continued: "Those people who left just now were all your childhood friends. Why don't you say hello to them?"
Hearing the old woman's words, Cheng Fan subconsciously thought of the scene when he was a child.
Because I grew up in Dishuiguan and rarely went down the mountain, I have very few friends. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
That is why every time I go down the mountain with my parents to purchase supplies, I have the opportunity to play with the children in the small town below.
But we didn’t get along much.
After reaching high school, they lived directly on campus. After that, they almost never saw each other again, and the relationship between them faded.
If it were three years ago, Cheng Fan had not inherited the Dishui View.
When you see them, you may happily go up and say hello.
But now that he has embarked on spiritual practice, Cheng Fan's mentality has changed a lot.
After all, he and they are not from the same world.
In the courtyard, after the bustle during the day, it fell into silence again.
Cheng Fan's figure walked around the courtyard, helping to tidy up the tables, chairs and stools in the courtyard.
The old woman on the side sat looking at him with a smile on her face, her eyes full of relief.
Unknowingly, the old woman suddenly said: "Seeing that you all can grow up healthily, the old woman is satisfied now..."
