    The old man didn''t say anything and just smiled, "Miss, if you don''t mind me being a dirty old man, you should take it. It''s my


    treat. You cane here again."


    Kindness from others couldn''t be turned down. | nodded and held the paper bag in my hand, feeling somewhat flustered.


    | bowed while thanking him, picked up the paper bag and found a ce to sit down in the alley. | ate both the sweet potatoes and


    corn at a steady pace.


    | couldn''t afford to finish all the potatoes, but | was reminded of familiar memories from my childhood.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Novell''snd was suitable for nting crops. During spring every year, Grandma would nt one or two acres of corn in the soil.


    We would plough, sow, fertilize, and loosen the soil. Every year, it was the same routine. When | came back, | had to dig up


    some fresh potatoes and cook them.


    Sometimes, the potatoes would be buried in the fire to be roasted. When they were cooked, the ck outeryer would be


    peeled off, revealing the golden potato. The smell was savory, and it would taste like one of the best delicacies in the world when


    dipped in chili sauce.


    Grandma would brush my nose with her ash-ckened hands andugh at me, saying, "If you get married in the future, | will


    take care of your babies for you, and your babies will turn into ck potatoes."


    The warmth of memories could scorch and burn a person. When the passersby in the alley saw me shedding tears, they pitied


    me and gave me some tissues to calm me down.


    "Miss, you still have many years ahead of you. No matter what difficulties you encounter, hold on for a while, work hard, and it''ll


    soon be over. You should get up again after crying!"


    | took the tissues, nodded, and gave him the potato in my hand. Then, | smiled and said, "Thank you!"


    | didn''t ride a taxi. | just wanted to walk around in the sunshine.


    Hendrix called and asked, "Are we going to have lunch together at noon?"


    Looking up, | actually felt that the sky in Jarold City was beginning to brighten. | lifted my hand and blocked the sunshine in front


    of me, looking at the leaves through my fingertips.


    "I''m going to meet Aunt Nerissa."


    He paused for a moment before saying, "Fiona said that you didn''t drive when you went out. Take a taxi and make sure you stay


    safe."


    | nodded and replied, "Okay!"


    By the time he hung up on the call, it was already noon. | took a taxi to the southern suburbs.


    It wasn''t too far away. When | arrived at the courtyard, Nerissa was just about to have lunch.


    Upon seeing me, she was pleasantly surprised and stunned for a moment. She paused and said, "You''re just in time."


    Then, she got up and took another set of tableware.


    She looked at me and said, "Let''s eat together!"


    With a faint smile, | sat down at the table and said, "I have free lunch now."


    After lunch, she suggested that we take a walk to digest the food. Then, she dragged me along to walk around the house.


    There were many neighbors nearby.

    After they left, she pulled me and said expectantly, "You and Hendrix better have one more baby. I''m not working now, and I''m


    waiting to take care of your children."

    As she thought about that, she smiled.


    | smiled faintly, but my heart was aching.


    When we got back to the house, | saw her carrying clothes to the backyard, so | followed her.


    Seeing that she was washing her clothes by hand, | squatted down beside her and offered to help.


    She tried to refuse my offer several


    times, but when she saw that | was


    stubborn, she sighed and said ovl\
