I'm fine, how about you?

Routine, stroll after dinner. The rustling in my ears, the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and the gurgling stream flowing over the back of my feet are refreshing. I have to walk hundreds of times, this road, from the age of six to the age of sixty. I remembered that I had persuaded the old man to move back to the countryside together. The children didn't understand it very much. They vomited violently for a few days, saying that the traffic and medical treatment were not good, and they didn't know what to do if something happened. At this age, what can happen? Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm. A happy mood is king. A good place with fresh air. Human Stone Forest.
In the deep and shallow stream, the old man was very busy, and he said that he saw a big fish, and he could bake it for lunch tomorrow. I don't know if it is inaccessible or not, but the fresh and plump fish in the past have become more and more rare. It's too lonely, I can't help but swim and go into the sea where there are more fish. The noisy way of living is sometimes just to prove that I am not too alone.
Now, how are you? Occasionally think of the little girl who lost her way and only cried that summer? Looking at the old lady with white teeth after so many years, she is not cute at all. Just suddenly a little fortunate that you left, at the most beautiful time. Otherwise, it is bound to gnashing teeth, such unfair treatment, young and twilight.

Did I tell you what happened to the old man? I remember when I was young, my grandfather always said that Yingying was too clumsy, and when I grew up, I had to find a smarter guy to complement each other. Unexpectedly, that guy, on a higher level, is stupid from his bones. He is a really good person. He has never had a relationship with anyone for so many years. He has a good reputation among his classmates and colleagues. Even his daughter is only willing to talk to him. A long, long time ago, I was not good at words but was very willing to care about people's warmheartedness, and then why I liked it and why we were together, an untestable mystery, as if everything after you left is a matter of course. Grow up, get married and have kids.

The children are always busy, busy with the endless entertainment, social work, work and life, and the granddaughter who was thrown over for the summer vacation has become the biggest movement in the mountains these days. At first, it was really all kinds of intolerance. There was neither computer network nor air-conditioning snacks. When the window was opened, there was a large forest, and caterpillars accidentally fell from the sky. She had seen such a scene before, and was clamoring to go back to Tokyo. The old man had to be patient and accompanied him from the unfamiliar to the familiar, and he was always a child. So much so that he even wanted to transfer to the countryside.
When I met you at the beginning of the year, it was probably the same situation. A person's mystery, knowing that human beings are very dangerous, why would he dare to help? If you feel that there is no harm, it is still too underestimated. You don't know that it's no exaggeration for that child to make a fuss. Originally, she was afraid of even caterpillars, but now even if she gave her a tiger butt, she might be willing to look directly at her, and she was inevitably worried about going back to the city. This wild girl could resist.
From 6 years old to 16 years old, if aging corresponds to growing up, then you who have never changed, are you giving me hope or punishment? From looking up to looking up, from being reckless to being sensible, and finally reaching the age that I think is enough to match you, I want to be together forever, but it turns out to be in ashes. Only then can we go to the world of you that will never grow old. In such a close distance, there is no hug and no warmth.

The old man always said that this family has the most amazing instinct, which is called natural stay. Instinct to go with the flow. Recently, he always likes to have two drinks before going to bed, and then he rambles about the good things in the past. It turned out to be like this. Inevitably, he smiled again, the corners of his eyes shimmering, probably more than just missing. The summer you left was brought forward by the progress of adulthood. Knowing how to be in awe, it is unavoidable to rely on the mercy of strangers. There is no longer the courage to be reckless and worry about gains and losses. But he said, this is just right, just enough to live without being too boring. After being together for so many years, he is not a big talker, but he can always comfort him impartially, and he thought he was calm.

A shrine that has been abandoned for a long time, and a festival where the villagers came up with the whims of one day. The child was wearing a newly made bathrobe and pulled the old man to play with sweat, until it was about to set off fireworks, then squeezed back to his side, hooked his arms, like a normal girl. One flower, two flowers, three flowers, four flowers... Bloom and then decay, there is no difference anywhere. I miss you honestly, and then live the life that I should live. You still haven't come, but I'm already old, and you say that luck is not bad. Another person who is willing to accompany me to grow old is gentle and warm to me. You also expected that in the past, right? Parting is foretold in advance. Flowers only bloom once in a lifetime.
So, I'm fine now, what about you?
