Chapter 388 Beyond Her Imagination
Chapter 388 Beyond Her Imagination
One day, a new resident came to the village, an old lady who looked to be in her 80s. Her surname was Huai, she was dressed in plain clothes, her face was covered with wrinkles, but her eyes revealed a kind of determination and wisdom. The villagers welcomed her warmly, and although she seemed unfamiliar with everything around her, Huaihua gradually integrated into the life of the village.
Su Ming and Su Ting often greeted Huaihua. Although Huaihua didn't say much, she always responded with a smile. Her presence added a new color to the lives of Su Ming and Su Ting, like a quiet and warm landscape.
One day, Huaihua fell down on the way home. Su Ming happened to pass by and saw her. He quickly stepped forward to help her up and asked with concern: "Grandma Huai, are you okay? Do you want me to take you home?" Huaihua shook her head and said with a smile: "Young man, I have experienced a lot of such trivial matters. It's nothing. Thank you for your concern." Su Ming felt warm in his heart, nodded, and sent Huaihua off until she returned safely to her home.
This encounter made Su Ming pay special attention to Huaihua. He found that although Huaihua seemed lonely, she always maintained an optimistic and determined attitude. Huaihua's family lived a simple life, not as noisy as other families in the village, but she seemed very satisfied. She cooked simple meals by herself every day and enjoyed her old age quietly.
One day, while working in the fields, Su Ming accidentally discovered that Huaihua's backyard was overgrown with weeds, and even some vegetable plots had not been tidied. He came up with a plan, and took advantage of his free time to secretly go to Huaihua's house to help tidy up the yard, weed and remove insects. He didn't want Huaihua to feel that he was being given charity, but just wanted to do something for her within his ability without her knowing.
Although Huaihua was old, she was very perceptive and she quickly realized Su Ming's kindness. Whenever Su Ming came to her house, she would quietly prepare some tea and simple snacks. Although Su Ming always refused with a smile, Huaihua was grateful in her heart. She understood that the young man's kindness was not just out of politeness, but also out of a sincere care and respect.
Gradually, Su Ming and Huaihua established a special tacit understanding and trust. Sometimes they would sit in Huaihua's yard and chat. Huaihua would tell some stories from her youth, while Su Ming would share his experiences in the fields. This kind of communication gradually brought the two closer, and Su Ming also learned a lot of wisdom and truths in life.
One evening, when Su Ming was preparing dinner at home, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Huaihua's number. He was startled and quickly answered the phone: "Grandma Huai, what's wrong with you? Is there anything?" Huaihua's excited and joyful voice came: "Su Ming, do you know? I cleaned the yard today and it took me a long time to clean it up! I'm so happy, you have to come and see!"
Su Ming couldn't help but feel the joy in Huaihua's voice. He felt warm inside, knowing that Huaihua finally started to treat him like a family member. He smiled and said, "Grandma Huai, that's great! You've worked so hard. I'll come over to see your results in a while." Huaihua smiled like a child and said gratefully, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you!"
Su Ming put away his phone, his heart filled with relief and joy. He knew that Huaihua's recognition and trust in him was not a momentary impulse, but was gradually established in daily interactions. This tacit understanding and friendship made him feel extremely precious.
The friendship between Su Ming and Huaihua deepened day by day, and they became an indispensable part of each other's life. Whenever Su Ming was free, he would go to Huaihua's house to see, chat and help. Huaihua also liked Su Ming very much. She felt that although this young man was simple and unpretentious, he had a kind and innocent heart.
One day, Su Ming suddenly had an idea to give Huaihua a surprise. He thought to himself that Huaihua had been living in this old house, and although her life was simple, it was not convenient and there were no modern facilities. He decided to take Huaihua to the city to find a more comfortable and convenient living environment for her.
"Grandma Huai, I'd like to treat you to a delicious meal in the city today, okay?" Su Ming invited Huaihua with a smile. Huaihua was a little surprised, but still nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, young man, you are really a thoughtful child. Let's go, I'll go with you to see the scenery in the city."
They got on Su Ming's old car and drove to the distant city. Huaihua looked out the window excitedly along the way. She was like a long-lost child, full of curiosity and excitement about everything around her. Su Ming introduced the roadside scenery and the changes in the city to her from time to time, allowing Huaihua to feel the prosperity and fast pace of modern society.
"Oh my, what is this place? There are so many tall buildings!" Huaihua said in surprise, pointing at the rows of tall buildings outside the window. Su Ming smiled and explained, "This is the central area of the city. There are modern buildings. Many people live here and life is convenient and fast." Huaihua nodded from time to time, with curiosity and envy flashing in her eyes.
They came to a restaurant, and Su Ming carefully selected some delicacies that Huaihua had never tasted before. Huaihua tasted them and praised them repeatedly. She felt that the food was not only delicious, but also fresh and delicious, which was completely beyond her imagination.
After dinner, Su Ming took Huaihua to a modern residential area to look at houses. This residential area has a beautiful environment and complete supporting facilities. Although Huaihua is not very familiar with this new type of housing, she can also feel the comfort and convenience here.
"Grandma Huai, what do you think of this place? If you are willing, I can help you find a suitable house." Su Ming asked sincerely. Huaihua was silent for a while, then nodded, "Young man, you are so kind, I feel bad. But I still like my own little house. Although it is good here, it doesn't feel the same as my home. But thank you, you are such a good child."
Su Ming felt a little regretful after hearing this, but he also understood Huaihua's choice. He didn't say anything more, but just accompanied Huaihua silently, taking her to every corner of the city, letting her experience a lifestyle and cultural atmosphere different from the village.
After returning to the village, Su Ming did not forget to prepare some gifts for his parents. He knew that parents were always in their hearts, and no matter how simple the gifts were, they could bring deep thoughts and love.
