Chapter 250: Photo Frame
It's time for the old man to recognize the reality, Lin Yu put back the military medal and watch in the wooden box, and only took out the posthumous photo in it...
By the time the old man had washed all the photos, it was almost dusk outside, Lin Yu took the old man out for a walk, and the banyan trees and streams in the sunset had a nostalgic beauty.
Time here passed inadvertently, Lin Yu found that he had been here for two days unconsciously, Xu Feihang sent a message to his mobile phone, saying that the strange professor in the two professional classes this afternoon began to stand at the door again to receive the sign-in card, this time Xu Feihang couldn't help Lin Yu get through, he had already been absent once.
Xu Feihang asked at the end of the message, "Lin Yu, haven't you finished your business yet, when will you be able to come back?" Xu Feihang was afraid that he would encounter a situation like today again, and it would not be good for Lin Yu to fail the final exam at that time.
"I'll go back to school as soon as possible, you can help me support it first," Lin Yu could only reply. When he turned his head to look at the old man beside him, he found that the old man was looking at the sunset that was about to set, and the dark red light reflected on the old man's wrinkled face, and the sunset and the old man formed a sad scene.
The old man didn't seem to care about the passage of time on her, she loved to sit under the banyan tree and watch the unchanging scenery around her, and if there was nothing special, the old man often sat all day. Banyan trees, streams, and the horizon in the distance are a special world that belongs to the elderly, in which the old man squanders his time every day.
What can the old man do if he doesn't sit under the banyan tree and watch the scenery? Lin Yu really couldn't think of other activities suitable for the elderly, he originally thought that the old man should cherish his limited life more, but later he gradually realized that enjoying this quiet and peaceful life is the old man's cherishing of his own life.
Dinner was eaten in a restaurant on the street, Lin Yu felt that the old man was a little tired today, he attended the school celebration in the morning, and washed the photos in the afternoon, so he couldn't let her cook a meal for herself in the evening.
The old man refused at first, saying that it didn't take much time to fry a few dishes, and it was too wasteful to go out to eat. However, at Lin Yu's insistence, they still agreed, and they sat down in a popular restaurant, surrounded by customers of all ages, who seemed to be residents living nearby.
Lin Yu ordered a few local specialties, firstly, because she also wanted to taste the taste, and secondly, because the elderly rarely had the opportunity to go out to eat, so she should also miss these local dishes.
The old man's appetite is very good, and it is no different from the amount of food that a normal person eats, and it seems that her cold should be completely cured. Even if the two of them let go of their stomachs to eat, there are still some dishes on the table that have not been eaten. The old man asked the waiter for a plastic lunch box, and she packed all the rest of the dishes, saying that she was going to take them back to Xiaohua to eat, which was Xiaohua's extra meal tonight.
Back at the lodgings, the old man rested for a while, and then went back to his room to sleep. Maybe it's because I'm a little tired today, and the old man goes to bed a lot earlier than ever. The plastic lunch box was placed in the center of the hall, and Xiaohua soon smelled it, and found that it was full of chicken and fish that she liked to eat, and Xiaohua's chubby head was pierced into it at once.
Lin Yu was also sitting in the hall, and while listening to the song, he silently watched Xiaohua enjoy its delicious meal. Food is the most important thing in Xiaohua's life, and while it is gobbling it up, it must also be grateful to its owner for his pampering. So when the owner is sick, Xiaohua will also use her favorite food to repay the owner, this relationship between humans and pets is not just an exchange, but a kind of gratitude. This kind of relationship is simple and pure, much more real than the complex relationship between people, so the old man will choose to live alone with a cat, and gradually alienate himself from the relationship between those relatives.
Flora finished all the food in the box, and let out a satisfied meow, and then kept licking its mouth and front paws with its little tongue, and when it was cleaned, it went through a hole in the wooden house into its master's room.
As Xiaohua's figure disappeared, the surrounding space quickly quieted down, and even if music was still playing in the headphones, Lin Yu could feel this ubiquitous silence.
The night here can be so quiet that there is no sound, even quieter than Lin Yu's Yangcheng University, because even on the university campus, you can occasionally hear the sound of people coming from downstairs, or a car driving by the road next to the dormitory building.
But there was no sound here, especially tonight, and it was quieter than usual. Is this the prelude to a storm? Lin Yu raised his eyes and looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the old man's closed door, not knowing what kind of reaction the old man would have when he saw it tomorrow...
After a night's rest, the old man's spirits returned to the best state, and she went out early to the supermarket to buy a dozen exquisite photo frames.
All the photographs that had been washed out yesterday afternoon had dried, and the old man had carefully stacked them one by one, and brought them all to the hall, and put them one by one into the frames he had bought.
Lin Yu heard the noise, and he found that there were already more memorable photos in those brand-new photo frames. The old man bought breakfast by the way, and while she opened a new photo frame, she said to Lin Yu, "Child, hurry up and wash up and have breakfast." ”
Lin Yu nodded, but sat down next to the old man, he watched the old man load all the photos, and finally happily hugged all the photo frames into his room.
Lin Yu's heart began to beat uneasily, he had actually woken up a long time ago, and when the old man went to the supermarket to buy a photo frame, he put something on the dresser in the old man's room. It was the last photo of his son who was hidden under the bed by the old man.
Lin Yu wanted to remind the old man in this way that her son was long gone, and the old man had to face up to his next life. The dresser was by the window of the old man's room, and the old man could easily see it as soon as she walked in, and she had so many frames in her hand that she had to put them on the dresser first.
Lin Yu didn't know what would happen next, he stood up and followed to the door of the old man's room. Ahead, the figure of the old man stopped in front of the dresser.
