"We just inserted it here before!"

...

"But, look!"

The old lady opened her eyes wide.

“It’s gone!”

...

After the old lady said this, the old man also remembered the incident of the branch.

He glanced around the plum trees.

indeed……

"Not..."

...

"Did you unplug it?"

The old lady looked at the old man.

The meaning of the words is that she has never moved a branch.

She didn't do this family, so the old man is the most likely person to do this.

...

"No."

The old man shook his head.

"What should I do to pull it out?"

I used to think that it was a branch picked up by the child.

The child likes it.

Although they found a "counterfeit" replacement to prevent their children from being disappointed.

But for the "authentic product", they agreed that they should stay.

It's so good, why did he pull out the branch?

...

"It's not you..."

The old lady didn't doubt the old man's words.

"Who is that..."

"Lele..."

Thinking of Lele, the old lady's briefly diverted attention returned to the fact that made her heartbroken.

The old lady's mouth opened slightly.

No sound comes out any more.

...

The old man sighed silently.

Soon, he tried hard to cheer up.

"Maybe it was blown away by the wind?"

"Some time ago, was it windy a few days ago?"

...

“…is there any?”

The old lady murmured.

Blown away by the wind?

Not impossible...

The single branch is weak...

But there are plum trees blocking the branches.

Or was it blown away by the wind?

She doesn't remember whether there was such a strong wind in the past...

...

"There's no other reason..."

The old man shook his head, "Forget it, no reason is important."

"It's just a branch, if you lose it, you'll lose it."

...

"But……"

The old lady frowned.

That's Lele's child...

...

"Lele cares for this plum tree."

Without the old lady's explanation, the old man already understood what his wife was going to say.

He reached out and gently stroked the bark of the plum tree.

"He didn't find that branch."

They were worried that it would be strange if Lele came back and found that the branches of the plum tree that were still plum trees a few days ago suddenly turned into a small tree.

They thought of a word.

Unexpectedly, Lele accepted their introduction to plum trees without any doubt.

It's indeed a child.

They felt relieved after being surprised.

They don't want the child to feel that they have deceived him.

I don't want to disappoint my children either.

It is naturally the best result for children to accept this plum tree.

...

Moreover, nothing they were worried about happened.

Lele's child did not notice the branch beside the plum tree at all.

Maybe it was discovered but didn't care?

They don't know.

But since things are moving in the direction they hope they want, there is no need to pay attention to some details.

...

The old lady was stunned.

Then nodded.

yes.

...

The old lady no longer spoke.

The old man didn't speak either.

They all need time... to make them... not to forgive themselves... but to stop being stubborn.

Their grandson is gone.

This tragedy cannot be reversed.

No matter what they do.

At least……
