"Huh? Aren't you coming back today? Okay, I understand. You work hard over there and don't worry about us. We are living a good life with no illness or disaster. You should also pay attention to safety over there. Ah, you are busy Go ahead, we won’t disturb you anymore, okay, hang up.”

In a dimly lit room, the old woman hung up the phone, her already stooped back bent again.

She looked in the direction of the door with a wistful expression, as if expecting something.

After standing for a long time without seeing the figure in her memory, she slowly turned around and walked towards the inner room.

"How are you, old lady? How long does it take for Temple to get home?"

The old man knelt down beside the table piled with dishes and looked at the old woman who walked into the room and asked.

"Tera also said that there is something going on at the company and he won't be back for the time being."

The old woman knelt down opposite the grandfather, her tone trembling unnoticeably.

"Oh, forget it. If you don't come back, don't come back. Let's eat first."

The old man looked at the sad old woman and sighed.

He knew how much his wife missed his son, but his son was older and could not always be with them. He also had his own career and life.

But... how many more years can they live, and how long can they stay with their children?

The two of them sat like this, eating slowly without saying a word, and sighed from time to time.

"boom!"

There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by a strong vibration, which startled the two people who were eating.

"Ouch!"

"What's going on here!"

The two of them exclaimed at the same time and slowly stood up.

They looked at each other, helped each other out of the house, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw a boy in black clothes lying in a pit that was hit by something unknown.

"Hey, old man, come and help!"

The moment the old woman saw the boy, she quickly called the grandfather to help.

The old man didn't stop when he heard what the old woman said. The two of them supported each other and slowly walked to the small pit.

"Child? Child!"

The old woman patted the boy's face gently, trying to wake him up.

"Well."

The boy woke up faintly when he heard the call.

He opened his eyes, and what he saw was an old woman squatting in front of him with a worried look on his face, and an old grandfather standing behind the old woman looking worriedly at the old woman and him.

"Old man, he's awake."

The old lady said happily.

Then, the old lady turned her head again and asked with a kind smile: "My child, what is your name? Why are you lying here?"

The boy looked at the two people in front of him and shrank in fear, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong, child, are you afraid? Don't be afraid, mother-in-law is a good person."

The old woman smiled kindly.

The old man couldn't help feeling helpless when he saw his old lady smiling: "But old lady, you really look like a weird old woman who kidnaps children."

"My child, are you separated from your parents?"

The old man looked at his unreliable wife and finally spoke.

"Yes, it is."

The boy replied timidly.

"Oh, that's it. Let's go to the police station tomorrow. But it's too late today, so let's stay at my mother-in-law's house all night, okay?"

It was obvious that the old woman liked this boy very much.

"Okay, excuse me for disturbing you, mother-in-law."

The boy sat up, looked at the old woman opposite, and replied hesitantly.

The old man looked at the smile on his wife's face and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
