Time is truly a healing medicine.

As day by day passed, the mental state of the two old men gradually recovered.

It is also because they find that they have a spiritual sustenance.

It was the plum tree that they and Lele took care of together.

…

Taking care of plum trees has become an indispensable part of the lives of the two elderly people.

Looking at the plum trees and thinking about Lele's voice and smile, they will still feel distressed, but smiles will appear on their faces.

Because, in the memory of Lele and this plum tree, Lele is always smiling.

Lele likes to grin the most.

The chubby smile is so cute.

His big eyes were dark and sparkling like stars.

Lele would occasionally purse her lips and chuckle.

It seems like he is having some unknown "bad idea".

…

But one day, the two old men discovered that the plum tree was sick.

They panicked for a moment.

OK...

How could you be sick?

Moreover, the illness didn't look like it just happened...but it seemed like it had been for some time.

Because if the symptoms just appeared, they wouldn't be so serious.

…

They obviously take good care of the plum trees.

The two old men were anxious and confused.

But this moment is not the time to investigate the reasons.

They hurriedly found someone to look at the plum tree.

This plum tree is very important to them.

They will never allow this plum tree to miss a beat.

…

As a result, they got a heavy blow.

The plum tree...is hopeless.

…

They don't believe it.

Only then did they discover that the plum tree was sick.

Why can't it be saved?

…

Memories that had been deliberately suppressed resurfaced in my mind.

They remembered what happened to their grandson...

It was the same then...

They saw their grandson fly away.

They staggered and rushed to their grandson.

The blood all over the ground made them helpless.

The child lay on the ground like a broken doll.

…

The shrill siren of the ambulance woke them up.

Don't wait for them to be happy.

They were told...

Lele...gone.

…

too fast.

Why does everything happen so fast?

Not even giving them a chance to save themselves?

…

Lele and the others are helpless.

But this time, the plum tree was just sick, but the disease was more serious...

They don't want to give up just like that.

…

"ah."

The old lady suddenly let out a low cry.

He seemed to have remembered something.

…

"What's wrong?"

The old man looked startled.

…

"I remembered something..."

The old lady's eyes were a little dazed.

But soon, her eyes focused on the old man's face.

"Old man, do you remember that day we went out to buy groceries and met Ajuan on the way..."

…

The old man rubbed his forehead.

After a while, he nodded.

"There seems to be such a thing..."

…

"do you remember?"

The old lady said slowly, "Ajuan looked surprised."

"She said...why are we so haggard?"

"I thought at the time that we were worried about the plum tree, had trouble sleeping and eating, and were exhausted from thinking, so our condition was not good..."

This is also natural.

They were just about to get over Lele's death, but the incident with Mei Shu suddenly brought them back to the time when Lele had just left, giving them another heavy blow.

How can they look good under such circumstances?

…

But now it seems...

Their appearance is more than just bad.

It's simply extremely bad.

Even she herself couldn't recognize them.

…

what happened?

The old lady felt a little confused and uneasy.

Did she really spend so much effort and energy that she and the old man have aged so powerfully?
