Chapter 1740: A year

Translator: 549690339 

In the morning, Zhang Zian opened his eyes.

A new day had arrived.

The window was open, only blocking the gauze window. The early morning bird chirping came from outside the window, and the sound of the broom sweeping the street.

The cool air poured in through the window, causing the curtains to dance, and the beautiful morning light was revealed through the gaps between the curtains.

He stretched his back. Although he had a whole night of strange dreams, he had recovered quite a bit.

This was almost the most beautiful time of the year. The temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, the humidity was neither too dry nor too damp, and sleeping with the windows open was the most comfortable.

The elves also got up one after another.

Apart from the day shortening and the night getting longer, there was almost no change in the daily routine. It was plain and busy.

But in reality, there were changes every day. As long as one had a pair of observant eyes, they could capture these subtle changes. As long as one maintained their enthusiasm and expectations for life, every day would not be dull.

The green leaves quietly turned golden, the children grew taller, the business income of the store slowly increased, and the number of friends he made increased … This was probably happiness.

Life was full of all kinds of feelings, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and not just sweet.

Today seemed ordinary, but it was actually a special day.

Usually, he would be busy preparing for business after he got up, always waiting for the preparations to be almost done before going to buy breakfast. But today, as soon as he got up, he went into the kitchen and began to make breakfast with his clumsy cooking skills. The ingredients had already been packed and put in the refrigerator last night.

Could it be that … He had made up his mind to practice cooking in order to get a wife?

If that was the case, the elves would have started mocking him. After all, there was not even a shadow of the legendary wife.

However, the elves were unusually quiet today. Even Richard and snowy Lionet did not mock or ridicule them. On the contrary, Richard did not rush to eat his nut and vegetable mixed breakfast after getting up, and snowy Lionet did not eat the bloody raw beef brisket in front of it. Because their food was different from the other elves, they usually ate alone.

Galaxy didn’t play hide-and-seek with the kittens, fina didn’t stay in bed, old time tea didn’t go downstairs to watch TV, famous didn’t sit on the first floor waiting to welcome its fans, Vladimir didn’t leave the Pet Shop to command the stray cats, Pi didn’t open its eyes and sit in front of the computer to type, Fati didn’t recite its daily morning prayers, and Sihwa didn’t start her live broadcast early …

Everyone seemed to be silently waiting for something.

There was the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen, and the rumbling of the exhaust fan returned to silence. Zhang Zian finally came out with a basin. On the tray were two sets of breakfast that were not very good at cooking but were very rich.

He didn’t put the tray on the table, but took it to the cabinet and placed two sets of breakfast in front of his parents ‘portrait. Then he bowed respectfully and lowered his head in silence.

“Dad, mom, I missed you …”

His eyes were red.

It had been a year.

It had been a whole year since his parents ‘sudden death.

He closed his eyes, and the voices and smiles of his parents appeared in front of his eyes again. The scenes of the past flashed by like the essence of a movie. From his childhood memories, he went to kindergarten, primary school, middle School, University, work … Although there were many disputes with his parents. Which child did not have ideological conflicts with their parents during their growth? However, all he could recall now were the most pleasant and beautiful memories.

Richard flapped his wings and flew over, putting a few nuts into the plates of two breakfast.

Snowy Lionet didn’t want to give up the fresh raw beef sirloin, and it knew that the two old people might not like to eat raw meat even if they were still alive. However, it still tried to jump several times and finally reached the counter, putting two raw beef sirloin on the plate.

The ceremony was hosted by one elf with great enthusiasm, and the other elves also presented their own gifts, such as a wreath woven from wildflowers, medicinal tea picked from the wild, and some elves prayed for them, some gave them blessings, and some wrote beautiful funeral prose for them, which was then recited by another elf with a more beautiful voice …

Since a few days ago, the Elfins had been quietly preparing. Even if some of the Elfins were careless and slow, they could more or less detect the changes in the other Elfins. As for how they knew the specific day, of course, they knew it from Pi’s novel.

As more and more things were placed on the plate, the smiles on the two old men’s faces became more and more gratified.

Vladimir was about to announce the beginning of a moment of silence when a Low Dog bark came from outside the window. It was little white standing on the roof of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV with a set of postcards in its mouth. It was a set of intact and clean postcards. It was not easy to find such clean things from the garbage dump. The content of the postcards was world-famous scenery, making up for the regret of the two old people who had never gone abroad.

Vladimir stood on the windowsill and looked at little white. Then, it silently opened the gauze window and let little white jump in.

Little White’s body was also very clean, without any odor. It had taken a bath by the sea before coming here. It put the postcard on the cabinet, then retreated to the side, standing in a corner with Vladimir. Today was the first time the two of them had called a truce for a day for something outside of their own race.

Famous was dressed more solemnly, and Pi helped it tie a pure white bow tie.

The Elfins squatted or stood around, all of them lowering their heads to mourn for the two old people, including Sihwa in the bathroom.

All of them had their eyes closed, and no one noticed that there seemed to be a faintly discernible colorful butterfly flying around the two portraits, scattering a dreamy five-colored scale powder, and then suddenly disappeared on the back of the portraits.

No matter where everyone came from or what extraordinary experiences they had, fate had gathered everyone here. Everyone was also grateful to the two old men for providing such a shelter and a new stage for their lives.

Little White’s situation was a bit special. It didn’t live in the Pet Shop. It came to pay tribute to the two old people because it wanted to thank Zhang Zian for the long-term help he had provided to the stray dogs. As for how it knew the specific date, of course, it was the other elfin who had hinted at it.

No one ordered them to do so, and no one had the right to order them to do so. The people who could make them submit simply did not exist in this world. They had never bowed to power, never to wealth, never to beauty, but today, they had bowed to two old men who had passed away.

Zhang Zian thought he would cry, but he didn ‘T. He had already said what he wanted to say to them in his dream. In his dream, he smiled and said goodbye to them, so he wouldn’t cry today.

Rather than crying and reminiscing about the past, it was better to face the future with a smile.
