The man rejected his child's kindness.
His life has long been the same as his natal tree.
Rooted in this small town.
......
"Grandpa, this tree is so big."
A little girl was squatting beside an old man. She had a pair of bright eyes and was very cute.
"Yes, it's very big."
The old man responded to his granddaughter happily.
The child has become an old man.
And a granddaughter.
However, this natal tree remains evergreen.
"Grandpa, I heard that trees can live for thousands of years. Is that true?"
The little girl asked curiously.
"Of course it's real. This tree is as big as me, your grandfather."
The old man smiled, looking at the tree.
But in my mind, I don’t know what I’m thinking.
"Wow, Grandpa, have you lived for thousands of years?"
The little girl asked innocently.
"...Silly child, living that long will be tiring."
The old man tapped the girl's head and sighed.
"Trees can live for a very long time, and I, your grandpa, will soon go to find your grandma."
The old man smiled with relief in his eyes.

"It's raining, Grandpa."
The little girl said.
"Yes, it's raining."

"This rain...has been falling for so long."
The old man said as he looked at the rain falling heavier and heavier from the sky.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? The rain has just started."
The little girl was a little confused.
She didn't understand what the old man said.
Just like the old man back then, he didn’t understand his father’s situation.
"It seems like it's been raining all my life..."
The old man sat in the rocking chair in the attic, listening slowly to the sound of rain.
"How can the rain last that long? Grandpa is talking nonsense again."
The little girl frowned and said.
"Yeah, how could the rain last so long?"
“But it…really rains for a lifetime…”
The old man listened quietly to the crackling sound of the heavy rain and looked at the raindrops in the sky.
There seemed to be many such heavy rains in his life.
These heavy rains came together.
It was as if the heavy rain had never stopped in his life.
