The old woman lived through the period of civil unrest in the country, and was the daughter of a wealthy family. She had a childhood sweetheart.
But in that era, it was very difficult to live a peaceful and stable life. Not long after they got married, their family suffered a major change. Artillery fire attacked the city where they lived, and most of the family members were killed or injured. The couple moved to many cities before they were basically settled.
Later, her husband went to join the army, and before leaving he arranged for her to live in this relatively safe mountain village. Knowing that his wife liked to grow flowers, he gave her some flower seeds and made an agreement.
If you miss him in the future, plant a seed every month. When all the seeds are planted, he will come back.
In fact, everyone knows that this is just a consolation. In turbulent times, the battlefield is full of knives and guns, and people may die at any time.
But the couple both understood each other tacitly and did not say it out loud. They just parted reluctantly, one with national justice and the other with expectations.
From then on, the old lady would plant a flower seed every month according to their agreement. Every day, she would hold the flowers and sit at the gate of the courtyard with her only son, waiting for that man.
But after the turmoil ended and my son grew up, I still didn't see the figure I wanted to see.
Many times, when she was taking a nap at the door of her house, she would dream of a man in a long gown walking towards her, just like when he left that year.
But when she woke up, all she saw was the quiet alley and the gorgeous flowers behind her, which made her figure look even more sad and lonely.
When her son grew up and went out to study and work hard, the only one who waited with her was the big black dog beside her.
"I don't know when he will come back. I have planted so many flowers. Why doesn't he come back to see me?"
It was unclear whether the old woman was asking the young man or herself; her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.
In fact, everyone knows that the person may no longer be here.
But she had a hope in her heart and was unwilling to believe it. Even now, she still insisted on waiting.
Gu Mingyu was silent for a while and then said, "Maybe, he will come back if we wait a little longer."
If the truth of what she had persisted in for her entire life were cruelly revealed, the old lady might have no hope of survival.
Nuannuan tiptoed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a soft tissue.
"Grandpa will definitely be happy when he comes back and sees these flowers that grandma has taken care of."
The childish words in the baby's sweet voice made the old man feel much better.
She held Nuan Nuan's small and soft hand and said with nostalgia in her eyes - "Yes, he said before that the flowers I take care of are the most beautiful."
The audience in his live broadcast room are now in tears, deeply moved by the old lady's story.
[Wuwuwu… I am crying my eyes out. Many loves at that time were both beautiful and tragic.]
[The old woman's husband must have died, otherwise he would not have come back to see her.]
[I am so angry. I just want to watch a variety show, why do you want to make me cry? 】
[I believe in love again. How happy a man would be to have an old lady wait for him all his life.]
[She took good care of their flowers. No wonder she said she wouldn't lend flowers to others. I wouldn't lend them either if I were her.]
Fortunately, the audience in this live broadcast room didn’t know what stupid things Song Yunxin had done in order to borrow flowers and after failing to borrow them, otherwise he would have been scolded to death now.
Director Wang was rarely silent for a while after listening to the old lady's story, and then he said to everyone - "When the program is broadcast, please leave Song Yunxin's part intact for me!"
Previously, Song Yunxin had set the pace for her fans to curse an old man, but when the show airs, she will probably be slapped in the face.
"Director Wang, Song Yunxin's agent just called and asked us to cut that part out during editing."
Director Wang took a puff of his cigarette and smiled - "How old is she?"
He has the final say in this program production team. Not only is it to seek justice for the old man, but could he cut out something so explosive?
There is not much space for growing vegetables in the old lady’s yard because it is basically used to grow flowers.
But it was not without its share, and the dishes were served very well.
"I still have potatoes at home. Do you want some?"
"want!"
Three large eggplants, one cabbage, three cucumbers and two large potatoes were enough for the vegetarian dishes. There was no meat at grandma's house, so she had to look for it elsewhere.
"The third one in front has the best chickens. You can go and have a look."
"Grandma, how much is this?"
The old man waved his hands - "No need to pay, I'm very happy to chat with you today."
Those things had been piled up in her heart for a long time, and she was getting more and more depressed. Now that she could find someone to talk to, she felt much better.
"No, grandma, we are doing a show. The director will be upset if we don't charge him. He is old and we have to respect the elderly."
"puff……"
Director Wang, who was drinking tea, spat out water when he heard the little girl's words, and pointed at himself in disbelief.
"Do I look old?"
The people around looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and no one said anything.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was laughing like crazy.
[Hahahaha… Nuannuan, you really dare to say anything. Aren’t you afraid that the director will make things difficult for you? ]
【Look how sensible our Nuan Nuan is and how well she cares for the elderly. 】
[It’s so funny. Director Wang must be in a worse mood now. After all, he has been criticized by children for being too old.]
In the end, the old lady was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and symbolically took three yuan.
Before leaving, she even said to Nuan Nuan: "Come and play with grandma when you have time."
Nuannuan turned around and smiled with a curved brow, she was really very obedient.
"Okay."
When walking out of the old lady's house, Wangcai wagged his tail and rubbed against the old woman's legs, making a whining sound with his mouth.
The old lady patted the big dog's head - "You really like children so much."
"Woo-woo-woo!"
The big black dog wagged its tail happily.
"Go ahead and go home early."
The big black dog immediately ran to Nuannuan's side, wagging its tail, with joy and excitement in its dark eyes.
Nuan Nuan touched its head - "Wang Cai wants to go play with Nuan Nuan? Then grandma, we are leaving. My brother and I will bring Wang Cai back."
Wangcai is raised to be quite majestic. He is a large dog. Just standing in front of people can give them a sense of oppression. He is a little taller than Nuannuan.
It’s just that the name Wangcai doesn’t seem to fit the name.
If it were any other child, they would have been scared and ran away, but Nuan Nuan didn't feel scared at all. After all, she was a child who had even ridden a big tiger before!
Gu Mingyu and his friends soon arrived at the family that the old lady mentioned who raised chickens very well. The host warmly entertained the brother and sister, recognized Wangcai, and said with some surprise.
"This Wangcai has a very arrogant temper. He won't eat any food given by others, let alone follow others. I didn't expect him to follow you."
Nuannuan puffed out her chest a little proudly - "Wangcai likes Nuannuan, and Nuannuan also likes Wangcai!"
"Woof!" The big dog responded to the child very politely.
