"Well, you are worthy of being the child taught by me, Xiang Huaixin, you are ambitious!" Although Leng You's answer surprised Xiang Huaixin, he also looked proud.
"As expected of my favorite disciple, Bai Changpu, you are ambitious! But...
Xiao Youyou! Grandpa Bai still hopes that you will consider what Grandpa Xiang said. This will be better for your future development.
After all, your life in this village will not be very comfortable in the future. You also know the character of the people in this village, not to mention that the Leng family is eyeing you covetously.
Since your Grandpa Xiang has already made this plan, that's great. Otherwise, I would have done the same.
Don't forget that Grandpa Bai still has many skills that he hasn't taught you yet."
Bai Changpu, who was walking over, couldn't help but praise Leng You.
"Is Grandpa Bai finally willing to tell me?" Leng You's mood became even lower.
"Uh... I... I can't go back for the time being." Bai Changpu's face was full of guilt, but also filled with deep reluctance and sadness.
"You wait for me in Pingdu for ten years. Within ten years, I will definitely come to find you." After calming down his turbulent emotions for a long time, when he raised his head again, his cold and deep black eyes seemed to have been washed by spring water, clear and bright, shining directly into people's hearts.
"Okay! Then Grandpa Xiang will wait for you in Pingdu." Xiang Huaixin nodded solemnly.
His heart felt very sad, and he didn't know whether it was because of the upcoming separation or because of the shock and touch brought to him by this child whom he loved to the bottom of his heart.
"Grandpa Bai is also waiting for you in Pingdu." Bai Changpu turned away and stroked the corner of his eyes with his hand, pretending to block the sunlight on his head.
…
The separation came so suddenly for Wen Jiuyue. Although Leng You already knew it, the pain in his heart was still unbearable.
Shortly after lunch, Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu, who had just left, came quickly.
"Sister Wen, I'm going back to Pingdu and I'm here to say goodbye to you." Xiang Huaixin said this and shifted his gaze to Leng You.
Leng You: “…”
He lowered his head for a while, then turned and walked away.
"Girl You!" Xiang Huaixin was very worried.
"What? Go back... back to Pingdu? When... when?" Wen Jiuyue was stunned on the spot.
"Now, the car to pick me up is waiting over there in the basement."
Xiang Huaixin saw Leng You's figure disappear in the warehouse, and thought that Leng You was depressed and wanted to hide. While answering Wen Jiuyue absentmindedly, he was about to chase after her, but saw her coming out dragging two huge bags.
"Grandpa Xiang, these are prepared for you." Leng You pointed at the two bags and then led Hongzao over. He motioned for Hongzao to lie down and then put the two bags on its back.
Xiang Huaixin, Bai Changpu, Wen Jiuyue: "..."
All were stunned.
After a while, she finally understood that Leng You had already made preparations. She had been busy preparing these hams, bacon, and sausages just for Xiang Huaixin.
Xiang Huaixin, who had spent most of his life in military service and had a strong character, shed tears.
"Grandpa Xiang, I can only take you out of the village and then ask the driver to drive over to load your things!" Leng You's face was even more expressionless than usual.
After saying that, he took the lead and slowly walked forward, holding Hongzao's hand.
"Youyou..." Wen Jiuyue no longer cared about her sadness and was the first to chase after him.
“Xiao Youyou…” Bai Changpu also followed.
Xiang Huaixin: “…”
I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
When they were almost at the village entrance, Leng You asked Hong Zao to stop and lie down as before, took two large bags off the horse's back, and then waited silently for the three people behind to catch up.
"Youyou..." Wen Jiuyue was a little breathless.
She wanted to catch up and comfort Leng You, but was stopped by Bai Changpu, who said that persuading Leng You at this time would only make Leng You more sad, and it might be better to let her calm down.
"Grandma, I'm fine." Leng You's expression still showed no trace of sadness or joy.
"Xiao Youyou, Grandpa Bai can still accompany you!" Bai Changpu thought for a long time and could only squeeze out these words. He regretted it as soon as he said it. He was talking about something irrelevant.
"Yeah!" Leng You nodded.
"Oh!" Wen Jiuyue's eyes became red again, because she felt sorry for Leng You and also because of the separation.
"Grandpa Xiang, have a safe trip!" Leng You turned to Xiang Huaixin and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Girl You, be okay, we'll see each other every day!" Xiang Huaixin's voice was a little choked.
"See you in Pingdu!" Leng You pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth again.
"Let's go!" Xiang Huaixin hardened his heart and finally turned around.
Leng You: “…”
The slightly raised corners of his mouth had become stiff, and he watched Xiang Huaixin's back until he disappeared.
"Xiao Youyou..." Bai Changpu wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know how to start.
"Grandma, let's go back!" Leng You held Wen Jiuyue's hand.
"Let's go!" Wen Jiuyue looked at Bai Acorus who was looking at those things, shook his head, and walked back with Leng You.
"Alas!" Looking at the backs of the grandparents and grandchildren as they left with their horses, Bai Changpu let out a long sigh.
"Youyou, don't be sad. Even the closest relatives can't be together for a lifetime. There will always be a day when we will be separated. All we need is to know that we are all living in peace and safety."
After experiencing the separation of life and death in the world, Wen Jiuyue has gained more insights into life. Even if she is sad about Xiang Huaixin's departure, she knows that this is the normal state of life and will slowly accept such objective laws.
But in her opinion, Leng You was not like that. Even if she had experienced a lot of hardships in the past, she was still young after all, and Xiang Huaixin was one of the few people who truly loved her, so it would definitely be extremely difficult for her to accept it.
"Grandma, I'm really fine. At least you are with me." Leng You looked up at Wen Jiuyue.
"Oh! Yes, that's right, grandma will be with you no matter what time it is." Wen Jiuyue's tears suddenly fell.
She knew that Leng You was a child who was not good at expressing himself, but this simple sentence was the most sincere confession to her and also expressed his greatest emotional attachment to her.
The feeling of being touched came unexpectedly, and at this moment, Wen Jiuyue felt like she owned the whole world.
"Grandma..." Seeing Wen Jiuyue crying, Leng You could only hold her hand tightly, but he didn't know what to say to comfort her.
"Grandma is excited, it's okay, Youyou, don't worry.
Youyou, grandma wants to ask you, do you really want to go to Pingdu in the future?"
Wen Jiuyue didn't think that the agreement Leng You had just made with Xiang Huaixin was just a child's casual remark.
"yes!
I will go to a university in Pyeongdu in the future and bring my grandma with me."
Leng You nodded seriously.
"No way! If you go to such a big city, grandma won't be able to do anything and will be a burden to you. Just go by yourself when you grow up.
Your Grandpa Xiang and Wen Tian are all there, I believe they will take good care of you."
Wen Jiuyue has absolutely no selfish motives towards Leng You's love.
