Chapter 911

~4 min read 794 words

Glug~

Just as Reba and Qin Feng were listening with rapt attention.

Grandpa Zhang was leisurely blowing on the tea leaves in his cup.

The young couple grew terribly anxious~

But to be fair, if a young person were to express the same sentiment.

They would surely say, "Time is a pig-slaying knife"~

Grandpa Tong's metaphor of the "carving knife."

Sounds like it carries a completely different artistic conception.

The morning sun.

Slanted across the courtyard of Grandpa Zhang's home.

At this very moment.

Qin Feng and Reba sat obediently on the long bench before the octagonal table.

Gazing expectantly at Grandpa Zhang.

Qin Feng:...

Reba:...

It was clear from the young couple's expressions.

At this very moment.

They shared the same thought:

Grandpa, don't just focus on drinking tea; say your piece~

Perhaps the water just used to brew the tea was a bit too hot.

Grandpa Zhang waited quite a while.

Only then did he speak slowly:

"Even if this carving knife of time carves wrinkles onto our faces."

"But do not let it carve into your hearts."

It is no exaggeration to say.

Previously, in Qin Feng and Reba's impression, Grandpa Zhang was quite carefree.

These words were spoken with remarkable depth!

Grandma Fan smiled and said, "Come on, old man, stop trying to be so literary. Young Qin is clearly a cultured person; don't embarrass yourself." Although she said this.

It was evident.

Grandma agreed with Grandpa's words.

Although, to put it more simply.

The meaning of this sentence is very straightforward.

One grows old in body but not in heart.

Yet different ways of expressing it create different feelings.

Grandma Fan took up the conversation, saying, "Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, a lifetime is almost over."

Reba shook her head repeatedly and said, "Grandma, you can't say that. A lifetime can be very, very long."

Qin Feng coughed lightly.

Of course, he knew what Reba was trying to express.

But still!

Saying such a thing in front of elders.

Lacks a certain persuasiveness, doesn't it?

It's like.

A kindergarten child telling a university student not to feel too much pressure about studying.

Isn't that just playing around? ~

Clearly.

Reba also realized this point.

She immediately added, "Grandma, before, Qin Feng and I met a woman over a hundred years old among the Evenki people in Daxinganling; she was in excellent spirits!"

"So~ you too will live as long as that grandmother."

Hearing this, Grandma Fan laughed.

She said, "You young Miss really know how to talk."

Qin Feng and Reba chatted with Grandma Fan for a long time.

From the old couple's love story to the growth history of their grandchildren.

Because of the old photos on the wall.

Regarding the old couple's past events.

The storytelling wasn't so difficult.

It was essentially telling stories based on pictures?

At the same time.

Grandpa Zhang had already packed the tea leaves stir-fried yesterday.

Into an iron box.

Wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside.

Wrapped tightly and securely.

Afraid that when mailing it to his grandson in the borderlands, the tea leaves would get crushed.

Grandpa Zhang handed each package to Qin Feng.

He said, "Since you young couple are leaving, set off while it's still early; the time isn't that urgent."

Grandpa's personality is quite straightforward and decisive.

Since he couldn't keep the young couple for another couple of days.

Leaving earlier would also give them more leeway on the journey.

Grandma Fan, however, said somewhat reluctantly, "Won't you stay for a couple more days?"

Grandpa Zhang said, "Young people have their own young people's matters; being busy is good." He then added, "Come play again when you have free time; treat this as your own home, perhaps."

In ordinary people's conduct and dealings.

The phrase "Don't be polite, treat this as your own home."

Can be said to be frequently mentioned.

But at this very moment.

Whether it was Qin Feng or Reba.

They could both hear clearly.

Grandpa Zhang had absolutely no intention of using polite formalities.

It was from the bottom of his heart.

The morning sunlight of summer was not yet scorching.

In the wind blowing from the fields.

Qin Feng and Reba bid farewell to Grandpa and Grandma.

After all, nowadays transportation is convenient and communications are advanced.

Yes, parting is not so hard to bear.

After getting into the car.

Qin Feng turned on the GoPro.

What neither of the young couple expected was.

The audience flooding into the live stream was much larger than usual~

Reba glanced at the netizens' comments.

She originally thought, as on ordinary days, it would be morning greetings.

But she never expected!

To learn an important piece of information~
