said, she raised her finger and pointed at me, laughing, “Grandpa, you give Grandma’s bracelet to others indiscriminately, worry about Grandma angry oh!”
Anthony froze, but some puzzled to look at Dennis.
Dennis attitude is very good, quickly got up and bowed to admit his fault, spoke, “Grandpa Anthony is really sorry, last time again the hotel thing, I have been trying to explain to you, but has not had the opportunity, here today officially to make amends to you.”
Then took out the bracelet that Anthony originally gave to Sheila, handed it to Anthony with both hands and said, “Clara is my wife, we had some conflicts the other day, the day we had dinner at the hotel, we can’t accept this bracelet.”
I stood up, bowed and apologized.
Anthony seemed a little dazed, froze and looked at me, “You guys this …”
Jannings spoke, “Grandpa you still do not understand? The couple was in conflict before, that’s why they made a big mistake, but I think Mr. George is right, the bracelet is something grandma left behind, you can’t just give it away, you want to give the couple a gift, you can give something else, this bracelet contains your and grandma’s memories, should not be given away.”
Anthony smiled, opened the box and looked at the bracelet inside, looked at Dennis and me standing and said, “Okay, you two couples sit down, this misunderstanding solved on the line.”
Dennis and I sat back in our chairs, and Anthony continued, “It’s normal for a couple to have a life and fight.”
Dennis and I hastily nodded in response, Jannings looked at me and whispered, “I can’t believe your family’s iceberg handsome man is still quite relaxed with the elderly!”
I smiled lightly, the reason why Dennis is charming is not just his looks and ability to wield the mountain, he is strict with his subordinates and talks little to outsiders, these are just habits.
In the bones, he is a special gentle and dedicated person, patient with children, respectful and filial to the elderly, these are his charming place in.
Anthony looked at the bracelet in his hand and sighed slightly, “This bracelet is indeed as you say, should not be given to you as a gift, but in fact, your grandmother when she left, we and thd George family decades of friendship, this bracelet was originally thd George family grandmother gift to our Ouyang family. Sixty years ago, when the army was in turmoil, we fled everywhere and met the thd George family who were in the same predicament, back then, unlike you now, we had nothing to eat and it was common for us to gnaw on tree bark.
Grandpa Anthony said, can not help but slightly sigh, continued, “this bracelet you look worthless, just a pair of silver bracelets, but ah, in those days, can give this thing to people, it is already a great friendship, thd George family daughter-in-law originally intended to give us this bracelet let us sell it, and then exchange it for some money to buy food.”
He looked to Jannings, spoke, “but your grandmother did not agree, no matter how hungry, how difficult the days, she treasured it, and then we went to Zuy aid war, your grandmother had such a hard time, with your father did not sell. Survived the bitter days, we returned home she could have lived a good life, but long-term malnutrition, her body found a lot of problems, she always had a wish to take this bracelet to meet thd George family daughter-in-law, but the wish has not yet been realized, she left.”
After saying that, the old man some choking, slightly bowed his head, without traces of wiping the tears at the corner of his eyes, said, “I know that this bracelet than those gold ah jade ah, not worth, but it ah, is our old generation of people’s hearts, so I want to give it to you, hope that you later ah, no matter how hard life, how many difficult things in the day, we have to understand each other well to put Money is not so precious after a certain point, what is really expensive is the love you have for each other.”
Dennis took my hand, crossed his fingers and looked at Anthony, “Grandpa, we will do it!”
The old man handed us something that was pristine and warm. In this world, there are many people who have a lot of money, but not many people who can make peace with their hearts.
He wants us to still face life with gentleness and ease after we have dipped our toes in the cluttered world and witnessed the filth, such a state of mind is rarer than anything else.
Anthony touched the bracelet, his black eyes were filled with longing and reluctance, after a few moments, he handed me the bracelet and said, “Girl, grandpa is old, the hardships that should be suffered, the blessings that should be enjoyed, have passed, in this life, ah, around and around, missed people are gone, nothing to worry about, just want to complete the wife’s wish, this bracelet you take, let it, ah, generations Let it be passed on from generation to generation.”
My heart was warm, my nose was a little sour, I took the box and nodded, looked at Anthony and said, “Grandpa, we will definitely pass it on from generation to generation.”
The old man nodded, a smile on his face, “Good, the future, ah, depends on you young people.”
I nodded, opened the box, the bracelet is a pair, took one out of it, looked at Jannings and said, “Grandma’s thoughts we take one back, I believe her heart is also happy, the other bracelet, Jannings, if you can you are willing to join me to complete grandpa’s instructions? We two together to pass on this bracelet, after ah two families, is a family!”
Jannings froze slightly, and then looked at Anthony.
Anthony froze, then laughed out and looked at Jannings and said, “Nono, you made a good friend ah!”
When Ouyang heard that, he couldn’t help but also smile, took the bracelet and looked at me and said, “Good, from now on our two families will become a family.”
Putting the bracelet on, everyone was happy, and the old man greeted and ate more.
After the meal, it was already completely dark.
As we sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting, Jannings looked at me and said, “Clara, you mentioned to me before that you had something to ask Grandpa, what is it?”
I almost forgot about it if I hadn’t mentioned it, so I nodded my head and looked at Anthony and said, “Grandpa Anthony, I have something I want to ask you!”
The old man was happy and had eaten a bit too much tonight, leaned back on the sofa and looked at me and nodded and smiled, “You girl, you’re welcome, just ask me anything.”
“When I had dinner with you at the hotel earlier, you mentioned a person named Violet Kennedy, I want to ask about her!”
Hearing Grandma’s name, the old man couldn’t help but sit up and look at me and say, “Who is she to you?”
