Chapter 115: Children's Words
The resort has nice scenery, and Ning Mingluo took her grandmother around.
Grandma, being led by Ning Mingluo, joked, "Why aren't you with Gu Xiucheng today? I see you two are always sticking together."
Yesterday afternoon, grandma saw clearly that the young couple had a very good relationship.
Usually sticky.
But it was surprising that he brought her along on this outing.
Of course, she could see yesterday that Gu Xiucheng wanted to be alone with his grandson, so she said she wanted to rest and leave all her time to them.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of the two people getting along in the yard, and they seemed to be getting along really well.
It's no worse than the relationship between a man and a woman, and it's even better.
The grandmother does not force her grandson to choose a boy or a girl, as long as he is happy.
And now her grandson is using his brilliant side to tell her that he is doing fine now.
That's enough.
Ning Mingluo was more or less a little shy when her grandmother teased her.
She deliberately said angrily, "Why do you think I'm annoying now, grandma? You used to want to see me every day and let me stay by your side. How come you've changed so quickly?"
Amused by her grandson's deliberate antics, the grandmother reached out and tapped Ning Mingluo's forehead: "You're just clever. I don't dislike you. If I let you accompany me every day, someone would come to ask for you in less than a day."
"grandmother."
Compared to before, Ning Mingluo's neck is now a little red.
Grandma smiled and stopped talking to Ning Mingluo. Instead, she turned her attention to the scenery of the resort.
This resort has some naturally formed local scenery, as well as some that can be seen to be artificially constructed later.
"Isn't there a swing over there? Let's go sit on it for a while."
There is a peach tree not far away. There is a swing hanging under the tree, with vines wrapped around it and small flowers blooming. It is particularly dreamy and romantic.
"good."
After leading his grandmother over, Ning Mingluo took a quick look at the swing.
Although it is leaning against the tree, it is not built directly from the trunk, but is independent. The vines and flowers are real, but protection measures have been taken near the seats to avoid harming the plants and leaving tourists in a safe place.
Only after making sure the swing was safe did Ning Mingluo help his grandmother sit on it.
The swing swayed a few times and slowly calmed down.
After a while, grandma looked at the swing and suddenly said, "When you were little, your mother's favorite thing was the swing."
"When was mom a child?"
All his impressions of his mother came from his grandmother's oral account, and he did not have the opportunity to meet his mother in person.
But the longing for his mother in his heart made him always pester his grandmother to tell him stories about his mother when he was a child.
But as he grew up, he was able to understand the sadness in his grandmother's eyes every time she mentioned his mother, and he stopped pestering her to listen to his mother's stories.
He hadn't heard his grandmother mention his mother for a long time.
"Well, when I was a kid living in the countryside, there was a peach tree in the yard, and there was a swing in the village square. But there were a lot of children in the village, and your mother was thin and weak at the time, and she wasn't particularly lively, so she couldn't compete with the other children. Before she could play on the swing, it was already dark and everyone had to go home for dinner, so your grandfather built a small swing for your mother in the yard."
Grandma paused at this point and said, "I still remember clearly the surprise on your mother's face when she came home from school that day and saw the swing in the yard. She was really happy at that time."
Ning Mingluo could feel the warmth just by imagining that scene.
But the past is left in the past, and memories are just memories.
Ning Mingluo held her grandmother's hand and said, "Maybe in another happy country, Grandpa is also swinging on the swing with Mom."
Grandma blinked her dry eyes and said, "Maybe."
She looked at Ning Mingluo, who was her only concern in this world.
She reveres life, but when the people in this world who love her and the people she loves leave her one by one, she sometimes feels that it is really meaningless.
Grandma's expression made Ning Mingluo feel a little panicked.
"Grandma, I like swings too. I feel very happy sitting on the swing with you."
Leaning gently on grandma, just like when I was a child.
Grandma was stunned and patted Ning Mingluo on the back.
Why was she carried away by that emotion just now? She still has her own grandson, and she must see her grandson become happier and happier with her own eyes.
Ning Mingluo raised her head slightly and looked at her grandmother.
Grandma, please forgive my selfishness. You are the only relative I care about. I selfishly want you to stay with me longer and longer.
There is a sentence that may sound harsh, but it is true.
Grandson, mother, and grandmother are the only blood relatives in the world that can be confirmed.
Especially for this pair of grandparents and grandchildren who depend on each other, this sense of belonging is even stronger.
Otherwise, Ning Mingluo would not have suffered such a great blow because of her grandmother's past.
When Gu Xiucheng found the two of them, he saw Ning Mingluo snuggling next to her grandmother on the swing.
Like a tired bird that has flown for a long time, it feels better to return to a warm home.
After stopping to admire the picturesque scenery for a while, Gu Xiucheng walked towards them.
There was a shadow in front of him. Ning Mingluo opened his eyes. His indifferent look immediately turned into joy when he saw that it was Gu Xiucheng.
"Are you done?"
They had originally agreed in the morning to take grandma around together, but Gu Xiucheng received some work temporarily, so he stayed in the room to deal with it.
Ning Mingluo didn't want to disturb him at work, and was also worried about his grandmother, so she came out.
"Well, it's done. It's fun here."
"It's fine. Just now on the swing, grandma told me about my mother's past."
Gu Xiucheng looked at his grandmother and suddenly smiled. "Speaking of the past, I'm a little curious about Mingluo's childhood. Grandma, would you like to tell me about it?"
When Ning Mingluo heard Gu Xiucheng ask this, his body suddenly stiffened.
He quickly began to recall what dark history he had as a child.
Probably not.
He has never fought, never skipped classes, and never pulled the braids of the girl sitting in front of him. He should be a model student.
Grandma smiled and said, "He was very well-behaved when he was little, so I didn't have to worry about taking care of him. But he has had great ambitions since he was young."
Having said this, grandma stopped talking and there was a mischievous smile in her eyes.
Ning Mingluo was stunned. How come he himself didn't know about his lofty ambitions when he was a child?
But he remembered that he had never had any extreme ideas. It was impossible to save the world.
It would be too social to express such an ambition in front of Gu Xiucheng.
Gu Xiucheng looked at his grandmother leisurely, waiting for what to come.
Grandma looked at Ning Mingluo and asked, "Mingluo, do you still remember your lofty ambitions?"
Ning Mingluo shook his head and silently prayed in his heart that it was not something shameful.
"Do you want to listen?"
Gu Xiu nodded in acknowledgment: "Mingluo must have been very cute when she was a child. I'm very curious, so I must listen to it."
"When I was little, I told Mingluo that when I grow up, someone will take care of me, and I have to take care of her, so that I can be happy. But Mingluo frowned at that time, and his face, like a little dumpling, was full of a serious expression. He told me seriously that he would never take care of others. He wanted to stay with grandma for the rest of his life and let those people stay away from him."
After saying that, grandma looked at Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng's expressions with a smile.
After hearing this, Ning Mingluo had only two words in his mind.
Spicy meatballs!
He looked at Gu Xiucheng with an expression as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The man's expression was very calm, but Ning Mingluo was sure that he clearly saw the sneer hidden in Gu Xiucheng's eyes.
"Children's words are without restraint, children's words are without restraint."
Grandma said, "So, my dear grandson, you don't want to accompany grandma anymore?"
"Grandma, how could I not stay with you? I have to stay with you and take care of Gu Xiucheng as well." Ning Mingluo leaned against her grandmother while holding Gu Xiucheng's hand, hoping that the man would calm down.
He also knew that Gu Xiucheng was not really angry, but if he didn't coax him, Gu Xiucheng would definitely use this as an excuse to make trouble for him!
"Grandma, why do you even tease me?"
"You said this yourself when you were a child."
Ning Mingluo could clearly feel that the hand holding Gu Xiucheng was being held even tighter.
Grandma looked at the interaction between the two and laughed.
Gu Xiucheng paused for a moment and said, "I really don't need Mingluo's care, but I do want to take care of Mingluo."
Grandma smiled even more happily and joked with the young couple, which made her feel more relaxed.
I feel like I ate a little more at lunch than usual.
Ning Mingluo sighed silently, wondering why she had never noticed that her grandmother had such a bad taste before.
After lunch, grandma didn't keep them. She waved her hand and said, "Go and play by yourselves. Don't hang around here. I have limited energy and I'm a little tired now."
Knowing that grandma was leaving them some space and asking people to take good care of her, the two of them left.
Ning Mingluo was originally worried that Gu Xiucheng would be angry, but everything was normal during lunch, so he felt relieved.
Holding Gu Xiucheng's hand, he asked, "Where are we going now?"
He knew nothing about the resort. In the morning, he just took his grandmother around to see the scenery and didn't go anywhere else.
"There's a tea room over there. Go sit for a while."
Following Gu Xiucheng's finger, Ning Mingluo saw an attic.
Although the attic does not look big, its appearance is very delicate and very eye-catching.
"good."
When you enter the tea room, you will see an exquisite screen, behind which is a place for drinking tea and relaxing.
Seeing that there was only one table, Ning Mingluo asked in confusion, "Does this teahouse only accept one guest at a time?"
There didn't seem to be any other guests here.
"In order to ensure the guests' happiness, we only receive one group of guests every day, and all guests make reservations in advance." I heard his voice before I saw him.
The person who answered the question was a woman in ancient costume who followed them in. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she looked particularly gentle and her voice was moving.
"I will serve you two today."
