After walking out of the cafeteria, Tong Minkun instinctively walked slowly and leisurely all the way to the playground alone.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the playground.

At the moment, it's a little quiet, and you can hardly see too many people.

Tong Minkun looked at the old plane tree from afar as he remembered, full of nostalgia, walked to its side step by step, and finally stopped.

The young man stood in front of the thick trunk of the tree, thinking that it was now the middle of September, and it was estimated that in more than half a month, it would be blown yellow by the autumn wind, so he couldn't help but look up a few more times at the emerald green and emerald blue umbrella above his head.

Unconsciously, Tong Minkun sighed deeply.

He felt as if everything had changed, but the plane tree, which was still silently waiting in place, seemed to be the same......

Recalling the past, he was deeply fond of Yao Siman because of her eyes that were so clear that there was not a trace of dust, and her heavenly singing voice, and when he met her again when he was young, although she was no longer the same as she used to be, her melancholy, her silence and all her differences still inexplicably fascinated him......

Tong Minkun remembers that in school, when the students came to the playground, almost everyone liked to bustle around to play all kinds of sports equipment, or gather together to play fun games, only Yao Siman who was happy and quiet, as if he didn't like to be lively at all, always strolled around when he had time, and wandered under this plane tree, which can be said to be rarely frequented, and it would be a long time to stay.

On that bright and cool afternoon, Tong Minkun sat beside Yao Siman as usual and accompanied her for a long time.

Finally, after curiously glancing at the plane tree behind him, he suddenly turned his head to stare at the girl, and asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Xiaoman, there are so many trees in the school, why do you always like to stay here?" ”

The girl was silent for a while, tilting her head to look at the young man beside her: "Little Kun, do you know this tree?" ”

Hearing this, Tong Minkun shook his head.

Yao Siman turned his face away, looked at the blue sky mixed with golden light, and said expressionlessly: "I know this kind of tree." When I was very young, I used to go to the village where my grandmother was born, and there was a tree like this, but much bigger than this one. My grandmother told me that it was called the Sycamore Tree.

Do you know?

That little village is called Baektu Village, and many years ago, when my grandmother was a girl, she lived there.

She said that the mountain outside Baektu Village changes its scenery throughout the year, and in her eyes, it is the most beautiful place she has ever seen.

The largest and oldest plane tree I had ever seen as a child was planted in the largest clearing in the middle of the village.

Almost all the people there are superstitious about plane trees.

In that small village, the sycamore tree is the old moon tree in the hearts of the villagers.

Under the old big plane tree, the villagers built a lot of small round stone benches, saying that they represent harmony and beauty, and happy reunion.

When the children in the village reach adulthood, according to the custom there, men and women gather under the trees on the night of Tanabata to sing, chat, and dance around the bonfire.

If there is a person they like, most of them will show their hearts on this night.

I heard my grandmother say that my grandfather secretly took my grandmother's hand under the plane tree on the night of Tanabata, and later, they got married.

It is rumored that as long as you take advantage of the day of Tanabata to successfully seek your own marriage under the marriage tree, you will be blessed by the old moon, and you will be able to make each other's relationship complete and long-lasting when you get married in the future.

Grandma said, their ancestors there have been saying from generation to generation that the sycamore is dioecious, the sycamore is female, the sycamore is female, the sycamore is dependent on each other, the same life and the same age, the same life and death, the glory and withering, never abandoned.

Therefore, they all firmly believe that the sycamore expresses a kind of unswerving love that can bring happiness to people. ”

"Your grandmother?" Listening to Yao Siman's narration, Tong Minkun muttered thoughtfully.

Only then did he realize that she liked the tree because of her grandmother......

He clearly remembered that when he was in kindergarten, he saw the grandmother who sent her to and from school every day, and it was a very kind grandmother.

Yao Siman nodded, "Well, my grandma." It's just that...... Four years ago, she got sick and went to a far away place. ”

At the mention of her grandmother, she slowly raised her hand and pointed to the unreachable sky, and her mood was obviously much lower.

Looking at the other party's sad expression, Tong Minkun, who already understood the truth that her grandmother had died, couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At that moment, it was the first time the girl told him the name of the tree, and he secretly wrote down the words "plane tree".

Only then did he know that in the girl's heart, it turned out that this tree still had such a story.

Quint ...... Do you think the sycamore tree really brings good love to people? Yao Siman took a deep breath and suddenly asked.

Tong Minkun looked at her in a daze and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"That'...... What happened to your grandma and your grandfather? He cautiously continued to ask about her grandmother.

Yao Siman put his elbows on his knees, held his little face with both hands, as if there were no emotional fluctuations, and said lightly: "My grandfather and my grandmother have a very good relationship, they have not been married for a few years, and I heard those villagers who went out to work say that they can make more money outside, so the two of them, like other young people, also walked out of that small village, and then came to Lihua City."

It's just that although my grandfather became a contractor, his life got better and better, and he bought a house in Ewha City, which can be regarded as taking root, but my grandfather suddenly had an accident on the construction site not long after my father was born...... That's it.

To say that my grandmother also managed to pull my dad and my eldest aunt to grow up with a job in a hotel.

I don't know if it's because they have a bad nature, or because my grandmother didn't have the energy to educate their relationship well when they were young, but I didn't expect that in the end, she raised a son who was addicted to gambling and a daughter who was often drunk.

I think if my grandmother had been willing to find a man after my grandfather died, maybe life wouldn't have been so difficult......"

As he spoke, Yao Siman's voice began to choke up a little.

She was a little sad about her helpless fate, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her grandmother's not easy life.

For Yao Siman, her grandmother is her dearest person and the person she admires the most.

She could imagine how difficult it was for a woman to pull two young children alone, but grandma would rather grit her teeth and bear all the difficulties alone, rather than remarry someone else, and she didn't even have the idea of clinging to any man.

may be influenced by her grandmother, so Yao Siman feels that if you love someone, you should only love someone persistently, whether you stay together or not, and the rumors of others are meaningless.

Probably, only pure love for love, regardless of gains and losses, regardless of wins and losses, is the most beautiful appearance of love......
