Ye Wanying and the old lady walked out the door together, just as Xiaoyu came looking for them with her little one: "Mommy!"
"Sis, you're here?"
"Yes, that's right." Ye Wanying said with a smile as she picked up the little darling.
The old lady asked curiously, "Is Xiaoyu also the old man's student?"
It seems the old lady really wants to know everything about Old Master Hong's past...
Ye Xiaoyu was quite puzzled. What kind of riddle were the landlady and her eldest cousin playing? What old man? What student?
"Xiaoyu, do you still remember Teacher Hong who taught us to read and write when we were little?"
"Teacher Hong? Oh, Grandpa Hong, I remember you!"
Ye Wanying nodded to the old lady, then smiled and turned her gaze to Ye Xiaoyu: "Do you still remember the person the old man often talks about?"
Xiaoyu frowned as she recalled, and finally, her face filled with shock, she exclaimed, "Grandma...Tan...?" Oh right, her landlady's surname was also Tan, wasn't it? So...Grandma Tan was the 'Cambridge' that Grandpa Hong mentioned?
Well, back then Ye Wanying was only eight or nine years old, and Xiaoyu was only six or seven. They couldn't remember many things so clearly. No one else could remember Grandma Tan as Cambridge.
Ye Xiaoyu was truly stunned and stared at the landlady in front of her.
The old lady's face was clearly satisfied. Although her husband was really gone, at least he left behind people, things, and events related to him, didn't he?
When Ye Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, she couldn't help but sigh... The world is so big, and all she ran into were familiar faces!
"Grandma Tan, let's go to our place for dinner," Ye Xiaoyu invited.
To everyone's surprise, the old lady refused: "No, you young people are together, I, an old woman, will not interfere. Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."
Yes, after going through so much, if I really couldn't handle it, I would have given up long ago.
Now, it's clear that the old lady wants some peace and quiet.
Ye Wanying held the little one in her arms: "Tuanzi, say goodbye to your great-grandmother." Since she was Grandpa Hong's wife, it wasn't unreasonable for the child to call her great-grandmother.
The little guy is more affectionate and fond of the elderly, especially those with gray hair, but he doesn't seem to like getting close to some young people.
"Goodbye, Great-Grandma." He waved his chubby little hand and smiled at Grandma Tan.
The old lady seemed to remember something: "Wait a moment, Grandma, I'll be right out." With that, she walked quickly into the house. When she came out, she was carrying a wooden box covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that it hadn't been touched in a long time. As she walked out, she wiped the dust off the box with a handkerchief.
"You are the old man's students, so this is a gift from me as your teacher's wife. It's the only one I have, so please use it to add some calligraphy to your works."
The box was polished and revealed its antique and elegant appearance, giving the immediate impression that it was anything but simple!
Ye Wanying quickly refused, "Grandma Tan, no, you can't do that."
However, the old lady was adamant: "What do you mean no? You are the old man's students. This is something he used to use. It's no use for an old woman like me. It's better to give it to this child so it won't go to waste."
sweat......
It really is...
Tuanzi looked at Ye Wanying with a questioning expression, the meaning of which was clear: Mom, can I accept this?
"Aren't you going to thank Great-Grandma?"
I cannot refuse a gift from an elder!
The little guy then took the box from Grandma Tan's hands and solemnly thanked the old lady, saying, "Thank you, Grandma!"
