"dessert?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then felt a little happy.

"Your grandpa is interested."

"I like your snacks very much."

"Honestly, the biggest regret about moving is that I can't go to your teahouse to sit there when I have nothing to do like before..."

There was a bit of regret in the old man's tone.

…

"sit."

The old man took something to eat from under the coffee table.

"There aren't many young people in the house, and I don't know if you like to eat these things..."

The old man frowned.

He doesn't eat snacks much himself.

After all, as I get older, my appetite decreases, and my teeth are not as healthy.

Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, he bought these snacks a few days ago along with other miscellaneous things.

…

Xiao Xiao placed the snack box on the coffee table.

"Grandpa Zhang, I like it."

Xiao Xiao quirked his eyebrows.

"real?"

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes widened.

"As long as you like it, that's fine."

"I like to eat more."

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao with a bit of emotion on his face.

"You've grown so big in a blink of an eye."

"do you remember me?"

The old man didn't have high hopes for this.

He moved here six years ago.

The child was still young at that time.

How can I remember staying in one of the many guests who came to the teahouse?

unexpectedly-

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Remember."

"real?"

The old man didn't quite believe it.

He thought the child said this just to avoid disappointing him.

He laughed, but did not expose the child's words.

It's not a big deal.

If the child has this intention, he will accept it.

"You have a really good memory."

…

Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.

That's fine.

He can say something to prove that he indeed remembers the old man's words, such as the conversations or contacts they had.

But what if the old man doesn’t remember?

Some things don't need to be taken too seriously.

…

"I'll make you a pot of tea-"

Grandpa Zhang looked like he suddenly thought of something.

"Grandpa Zhang."

Xiao Xiao stopped the old man who was about to get up, "Don't bother."

"I'm not thirsty."

"...Then let me get you a glass of water."

The old man hesitated for a while, did not insist, and said instead.

"Drink some hot water and your whole body will warm up."

…

The old man handed the water glass to Xiao Xiao.

"Be careful when drinking."

"OK."

Xiao Xiao responded with a smile.

He took a sip of water and ate some snacks.

Listen patiently to the old man telling some interesting things that happened in the teahouse in the past.

…

The old man suddenly came to his senses.

"Look at me, once I start talking, I won't stop talking."

The old man patted his head gently.

"You're obviously here to get something..."

The old man stood up.

"Xiaoxiao, come with me."

…

Xiao Xiao followed the old man into a room with a door ajar.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao had the illusion that he was in the forest garden.

There are many bonsai pots of different sizes and staggered heights placed in the room.

Full of greenery and vitality.

Coupled with the unique shape-

It immediately gives people a feeling of light up.

…

"very beautiful."

Xiao Xiao did not hesitate to praise him.

"Grandpa Zhang, are these all your works?"

…

"Um."

Xiao Xiao's straightforward expression and words made the old man narrow his eyes happily.

The old man looked at the bonsai with a bit of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

"It's the old man's hobby."

"Just passing the time."

…

"Grandpa Zhang is so awesome."

In Xiao Xiao's impression, the old Grandpa Zhang, that is, the Grandpa Zhang before moving six years ago, did not have this hobby.
