Chapter 354 Farewell
Chapter 354 Farewell
In fact, he really cared about these etiquettes. When it came to the various rules and traditions of the family, he was always strict and meticulous.
At that time, he regarded the dignity and order of the family as supreme, and firmly believed that only by following these established rules could the family maintain its lofty status and stand firm over the years.
He carefully arranged every family gathering and every important occasion, striving for perfection and not allowing any deviation or negligence.
But after spending these few days with Xiao Chengcheng, he felt the true family love and warmth. Those innocent laughter and simple dependence made him understand that compared to the cumbersome family rules and etiquette, only having his grandchildren by his side is a real family and the most precious wealth in life.
The appearance of Xiao Chengcheng was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, penetrating the thick haze in his heart and allowing him to see the most authentic and beautiful part of life.
Every hug and kiss from her was like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing his dry soul.
The three of them nodded, their eyes always full of respect.
But he still waited until the three elders were seated before he sat down slowly. Every move he made showed his respect and obedience to the elders.
The cautious movements were as if performing a sacred ritual, full of awe and piety.
The dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes.
Steaming soups, fragrant barbecues, and colorful fruits and vegetables, each dish seems to be telling the preciousness of this special moment.
The soup is steaming hot, like a fairy mist, exuding a rich aroma that tempts people's taste buds. The roasted meat is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fat is forced out during the roasting process, making a "sizzling" sound that makes people salivate.
The fruits and vegetables are bright and eye-catching, like a colorful painting, and a fresh scent blows in the air.
The elder of the clan looked at the table full of delicious food, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes: "This may be the last time we have a reunion meal like this."
His voice trembled slightly, with a strong sense of reluctance. The voice seemed to come from the depths of time, full of endless vicissitudes and nostalgia.
Little Chengcheng was sitting next to Ming Nanjin. When she heard the clan elder's words, her eyes instantly turned red: "Clan elder, no, we will have many more days like this in the future." Her voice was tearful and her little hands tightly grasped the corner of the clan elder's clothes, as if this could hold back the time that was about to pass away.
The second elder of the clan sighed softly, picked up a piece of meat and put it in little Chengcheng's bowl: "Chengcheng, be good, eat more and grow strong." His eyes were full of kindness, and that concerned look seemed to be able to melt all the sadness.
Ming Nanjin reached out and touched Xiao Chengcheng's head, comforting her: "Don't be sad, even if we are separated temporarily, our hearts will be together." His voice was gentle and firm, giving people a sense of incomparable reassuring power.
Jiang Shiwen raised his glass: "Elders, thank you for your care all the time. This glass of wine is for you." His face was filled with sincere gratitude and his eyes flashed with respect.
Everyone raised their glasses, and the crisp sound of glasses clinking echoed in the air. The sound was like wind chimes swaying in the wind, crisp and pleasant, but with a hint of sadness.
During the meal, the atmosphere was sometimes joyful and sometimes solemn. Everyone recalled the past, and the good times they spent together seemed to be right in front of them. The laughter and warm moments of the past flashed through everyone's minds like movie scenes.
The elder of the three tribes smiled and looked at Little Cheng Cheng: "Cheng Cheng, you must listen to your brother and study hard in the future."
His eyes were full of anticipation and blessings, as if he saw a bright future for Xiao Chengcheng.
Little Chengcheng nodded vigorously, her mouth full of food, and said incoherently: "I will, Third Tribe Elder." Her cheeks were puffed up and she looked very cute.
Yan Zeyu also said: "Don't worry, elders, we will take good care of Xiao Chengcheng and Ming Nanjin. His expression was serious and earnest, and people could not doubt his determination.
The clan elder smiled with satisfaction: "With kids like you around, I believe the future will be full of hope no matter what." His smile was like the spring sun, warm and powerful.
As we ate and talked, time seemed to slow down. Every word and every look were stretched infinitely and became an eternal memory.
Ming Nanjin looked at the three elders, his heart filled with gratitude and reluctance: "Elders, when things are resolved, I will definitely take you to my side and repay you for raising me." His voice was slightly choked and tears flashed in his eyes.
The clan elder waved his hand and said, "Children, as long as you live well, it will be the greatest reward for us." His eyes were full of tolerance and understanding.
After the meal, everyone had mixed feelings. There was anticipation for the future, but also sadness about the upcoming separation. The complex emotions intertwined like a dense web that made it difficult to break free.
After the meal, Xiao Chengcheng took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. Although her movements were still clumsy, her kindness made the elders feel very warm. Her small figure was busy at the dining table, with a serious expression on her face.
As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled in the yard, as if covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.
Everyone sat in the yard, enjoying this last peaceful moment.
The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling on everyone, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the sadness of parting that permeated the air.
"Children, remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, the spirit of your family will always be in your hearts."
The elder's voice sounded particularly solemn in the night. His gaze was deep and far-reaching, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see the light of the future.
Everyone nodded, with a determined light flashing in their eyes. That light shone brightly under the moonlight, like the brightest star in the night sky.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the room, waking up everyone who was sleeping.
Ming Nanjin and Xiao Chengcheng got up early. They packed their luggage silently and prepared to leave the Beiming family's old house.
The three elders stood at the door, their eyes filled with reluctance and concern.
