As Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the autumn air in Qing City becos increasingly crisp. Cheng Su’s in-laws and family are all celebrating in Qing City, and Old Master Cheng is no exception. He ca to Qing City in his youth several decades ago, and returning to this place, he can’t help but want to take a stroll around, right?
It’s a holiday, and Cheng Su is his goddaughter; spending the holidays with her is just as good, especially since he truly loves this little fellow, Xiao Qi.
"Xiao Qi’s eyes, resemble yours, like your aunt’s." Old Master Cheng held Qi Xiaoqi, and as he gazed into his dark eyes, he said to Cheng Su, "When your aunt was young, her eyes were the most lively, as if they could speak, everyone praised them."
"Godfather..." Cheng Su sensed the old man’s loneliness and gently pressed his shoulder.
Old Master Cheng cracked a brief smile: "It’s nothing, when people get old, they tend to reminisce about the past. Your aunt, after all these decades, we still haven’t found her, though deep down I know, we won’t find her. Now we keep searching, but it’s just your brothers giving hope."
Cheng Su pursed her lips and said, "Regardless of whether we’ve found her or not, your aunt is at least the lively, beautiful sister in your heart! In your mories, she’s forever young, isn’t she?"
Old Master Cheng smiled: "Your comforting words are quite different from your brothers’." He thought for a mont, then added, "It truly is like you said, forever young!"
His mory freezes in his youth, and he won’t witness her aging or passing; in his mories, she’s still so young and beautiful.
"Ah, ah."
The root of the old man’s beard suddenly hurt. He looked down to see Qi Xiaoqi had seized his beard at so point, tugging painfully.
"Why, little rascal, can you actually understand what I’m saying to your mother?" Old Master Cheng noticed his bright gaze and couldn’t help but laugh.
Qi Xiaoqi laughed too, causing the old man to beco even more delighted.
"Normally, children’s eyes focus clearly at three months, but this boy is different; when he fixes his gaze on you, it seems as though he truly sees you." Old Master Cheng smiled as he looked at Cheng Su. "He’s so clever now, he’ll really be sothing in the future."
"Don’t praise him, if you ask , he’s quite mischievous." Cheng Su laughed and said, "He just turned a month old, yet has already upset my mother-in-law terribly!"
"Still won’t let his grandma hold him?"
Cheng Su nodded: "Even after going to the temple to pray, he still won’t let her hold him."
"Spirituality is hard to say. I heard from Xiao Ya that you’ve been troubled by your mother-in-law in the past, especially during your previous pregnancy..." Old Master Cheng said, "In mysterious ways, who knows, could it be the child returned?"
"That’s too mystical!" Cheng Su chuckled.
"So things, it’s better to believe in their existence than not, who knows?" Old Master Cheng asked, "Does your mother-in-law still have grievances with you now?"
Cheng Su remained composed, tucked the corner of Qi Xiaoqi’s small blanket, and said, "Living apart reduces conflict, and it’s nothing, when her words are agreeable, I listen; when disagreeable, I let them pass through one ear and out the other, I won’t compromise myself for her."
"Right. As long as things are smooth on the surface, the most important thing is standing firm in reason, never compromise yourself. If you really feel uncomfortable, take Xiao Qi to Guangcheng to live, after all, there’s a house for you over there, not just for staying, but for settling down too!" Old Master Cheng displayed a protective deanor.
Cheng Su nodded, seeing Cheng Yaozu and the others walking hand in hand affectionately, she said, "In a few months, I really will have to live there for a while!"
Old Master Cheng also saw his youngest son and daughter-in-law, smiled, and nodded: "I’ll be waiting!"
