It must be said that the scenery here isn't particularly beautiful or exquisite, but the environment is tranquil and the air is fresh, which is really nice.
The motorcycles roared on and on, creating a unique atmosphere on this quiet road.
Five minutes—not a long time, but not a short time either—the motorcycle screeched to a halt.
"Gentlemen, we've arrived."
Ye Wanying then came to her senses:
"arrive?"
The man beside her also regained his usual cold and stern expression. He glanced around with a slightly somber look before speaking to his young wife:
"This is it. Just go in that road over there for a few minutes."
There were some changes along the way, but once we got here, it was exactly as I remembered it.
In my memory, there were two enormous century-old Podocarpus macrophyllus trees at the intersection. Now, they look noticeably different from what they were twenty years ago.
After all, something that's hundreds of years old is only a few decades old. Unless you use a magnifying glass or a microscope, you probably won't be able to see any difference.
After the couple got off the tricycle, Ye Wanying was carrying a small handbag, while the man beside her was carrying a large black bag in each hand.
After paying the fare, the man walked ahead:
"Stay close to me," he whispered in his wife's ear.
Ye Wanying smiled slightly, but still followed after him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before we came to the middle of two Podocarpus macrophyllus trees, with a main road running through the middle.
From a distance, I could see two familiar figures sitting on the chairs inside.
"Director Gao, Director Gao, look, isn't that Old Man Xu and the little old lady?"
For the Xu family, their backs were enough to identify them.
"Yes, that's right," he confirmed directly.
"Then let's hurry up. It looks like the old lady and Old Man Xu have been waiting for a while."
Just then, Old Man Xu, with his sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of the two figures out of the corner of his eye, and excitedly nudged the little old lady beside him:
"My dear wife, my dear wife, they're here. Look, Xiao Dan and the others."
The old lady looked over and, seeing that it was indeed him, her face immediately lit up with a smile. She quickly stood up from her chair and went to greet him.
"You two have finally arrived! We almost thought you couldn't find the place, and we were even thinking of sending someone to pick you up."
Ye Wanying and Gao Dan both stopped in their tracks, and the old lady stopped in front of them.
"It's good that we've arrived, it's good that we've arrived!"
His eyes welled up with tears. It was true, after more than twenty years, this child had finally returned. How could he not be moved?
Ye Wanying glanced at the man beside her. He seemed lost in thought, but she noticed a subtle movement at the corner of his mouth. Then, she threw down the two large black bags she was carrying and reached out to embrace the elderly woman who was already sobbing.
"Auntie!"
This address of "aunt" came many years late.
Since the man had spoken, Ye Wanying, as his wife, couldn't possibly remain silent.
"Auntie, don't cry~~" At the same time, she reached out and patted the old lady's back lightly to comfort her.
After about ten seconds, the old lady stopped talking and wiped the tears from her face with her hand.
"Oh, she's not crying, she's just happy. Yes, Auntie is happy!" she said to the two of them.
When Gao Dan was young, the old lady also loved him like her own son, especially during the time he lived in the Xu family after his sister-in-law left.
