"Xiao Yao......"

The child's mother looked at her child, her eyes showing distress and self-blame,

After getting up from the seat, he squatted down again,

"Grandpa, he's ......"

"You're talking nonsense! Grandpa, he's always been there, he's always been with me, he's not going anywhere! I don't need you to take care of me, it's always been me and grandpa, it's always been ......."

The little boy grew more agitated and roared loudly, as he broke free of his mother's outstretched hand,

“...... Xiao Yao...... Sorry ......"

The hand that was broken away paused, and the child's mother looked at her child, her mouth opened, and finally she only said an apology.

“...... Mom shouldn't have left you and grandpa at home...... It's been so long, and I haven't been with you, and I don't even know what you like to eat...... I...... Sorry ......"

As she spoke, the child's mother's eyes were a little red.

“...... Do you need to add some more food to you, I see that the rice in Xiaoyao's bowl is almost finished, right?"

The waiter who came out of the kitchen, seeing this scene, hurriedly stepped forward and made a mistake.

"Thank you...... Please give Xiao Yao another bowl of rice. ”

The child's mother turned her head to the side, wiped her reddened eyes, and after saying something to the waiter, she turned her head back and looked at her child.

“...... Xiao Yao, let's eat first, and when we're done eating, we'll talk about it, okay?"

"Sister, make a bowl of rice for grandpa. As if insisting, the little boy turned his head and looked at the waiter.

"I'm sorry for you. After a pause, the child's mother turned back to the waiter and said,

The waiter smiled at the child's mother, then turned his head to look at the little boy and answered,

“...... Okay, Xiao Yao, my sister will bring you two bowls of rice, one bowl for Xiao Yao, and another bowl for grandpa. ”

With that, the waiter took the bowl and walked away again.

The little boy stood still, bowed his head again, and fell silent.

“...... Xiao Yao, let's sit down first, and eat the meal first, okay?"

The child's mother stood up again, her eyes still red, and she said in a somewhat helpless tone.

Hearing this, the little boy fell silent again, raised his head, turned his head to look at his mother, and then sat down again in his chair in silence.

......

"Come, Xiaoyao, this is for you to eat, this is for grandpa. ”

The waiter walked back and placed the two bowls of rice in front of the little boy, opposite the table.

"Excuse me...... the child's mother thanked the waiter, then turned her head back and looked at her child.

"Xiaoyao, come, can you eat another piece of tamale?"

“...... My mother tasted a piece just now, and it was really delicious, if Xiao Yao didn't eat it, my mother would finish it. ”

With a smile on her face, the child's mother said as easily as she could.

The little boy also picked up the chopsticks again, but did not respond to his mother's words, just put the chopsticks in the bowl, without saying a word, eating little by little, but kept looking at the other side of the table.

In front of the empty seat, the bowl of rice was placed, and next to the bowl of rice, the chopsticks were placed on the side of the table.

......

At the table next to him, Lian Ge glanced at the little boy, and then at the bowl of rice and the pair of chopsticks opposite him.

The rice is overflowing with heat, and the chopsticks are quietly placed.

After a pause, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and continued to eat the food on the table, listening to the sound lingering in his ears.

......

And the little boy looked at the bowl of rice and the pair of chopsticks, his eyes gradually drooped, and he became more and more silent.

I just stuffed my head and ate my meal in one gulp.

"Xiao Yao...... Come, take a sip and don't choke...... Come on, mom will give you another piece of tamale......"

Inside the restaurant, only the words of the child's mother seemed to linger.

......

“...... Waiter, please settle the bill. ”

"Coming, coming......"

"How's it going, is it still to taste?"

"What does Tongtong think?"

"Delicious!"

"Well, that Tongtong thinks it's delicious, and grandma also thinks it's delicious......"

At the table by the door of the restaurant, the old lady and her granddaughter stood up.

After bending down and saying a word to her granddaughter, the old lady turned around again and looked at the waiter,

......

The inside of the restaurant, the corner side,

As if hearing the words of the old lady and her granddaughter, the little boy who was eating with his head bored raised his head and looked at the old lady and her granddaughter, a little stunned.

“...... Xiao Yao," on the side, the boy's mother also followed her child's gaze and looked over,

“...... Xiao Yao misses his grandfather, right?"

Looking at the old lady and her granddaughter, and then turning back to look at her child, the boy's mother asked,

The boy didn't answer, just looked at it, and the boy's mother, after a pause, reached out and stroked her child's hair.

This time, as if he was in a trance, the little boy didn't break free......

......

"How much?"

"Thirty-eight in total. ”

At the door of the restaurant, at the dining table, the old lady asked, and groped on her body,

From the position of the trouser belt, pulled out a purse sewn on the inside, the old lady fumbled, and pulled out a few coins from the purse,

"Give," put the purse back in, and the old lady grabbed the money and handed it to the waiter,

"Then you wait a minute, I'll go get you money," and after saying that, the waiter walked away again,

"Okay, good ......" answered twice, and the old lady slowly turned around again, bent her waist, and said while reaching out to take her granddaughter's hand,

"Tongtong, will you go home directly with your grandma later, or ......?"

"Bang ......"

Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly,

"Old lady, old lady...... Are you alright?"

The waiter who was looking for change at the counter heard the movement and quickly looked up.

Then I saw the old lady fall to the ground, and hurried out of the counter.

"Grandma, grandma......"

The little girl was a little flustered and shouted to her grandmother in fear,

"It's alright, it's alright...... Tongtong, don't be afraid, grandma just fell. ”

The old lady sat on the ground, smiled on her face, and after comforting her granddaughter, she touched the table and chair next to her, and got up again little by little.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly reached out to help, and the little girl was also struggling to support her grandmother.

"Old lady, you didn't fall anywhere, did you?"

"It's okay, fortunately, my body is quite strong, otherwise this fall may add bad luck to you. The old lady smiled and said,

"What do you say, old lady, this person is fine......"

......

At the dining table, he looked at the old lady who stood up again, his eyes paused slightly, and Lian Ge withdrew his gaze.

In his sight,

When the old lady bent down to lead her granddaughter, she lost her center of gravity.

When she was about to fall, the old lady had already touched her granddaughter's hand, and when she fell, she let go again.

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge took the chopsticks and continued to eat.

......

At the same time, beside Lian Ge, at the dining table in the corner,

The little boy who had been looking at the old lady froze the movement of his hand the moment he saw the old lady fall to the ground,

Then, with fear in his eyes, he trembled,

“...... Don't be afraid, don't ......be afraid."

The mother of the child, who was also watching this scene, noticed her child's reaction, and hurriedly reached out and hugged her child.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyao, mom is here, mom is here......"

The child's mother put her arms around her child, put her face against her child's head, and stroked the little boy's back over and over again, comforting her over and over again.

It's just that the little boy was in her arms, still trembling, even though his vision had been partially blocked by his mother, but his eyes were still staring at the old lady who fell to the ground, with fear in his eyes.
