Grandpa Wang's lean hands patted Wen Yanqing's arm, "In the blink of an eye, you've grown up. You used to be not even as tall as my waist, and now you're getting married."
Grandpa Wang was a neighbor who, over the years, didn't move to live with his son in the provincial capital because he was attached to the old home in the small town.
The town was quiet. Whenever he heard a familiar sound, he would come out to take a look, not expecting to see Wen Yanqing whom he hadn't seen for many years.
After learning they had come back to take wedding photos, Grandpa Wang didn't keep chatting with him anymore, saying he didn't want to disturb their work.
Wen Yanqing led Lin Gantang inside the house.
The main room was furnished with simple tables and chairs and household appliances, all styles from many years ago.
Seeing her curiosity, Wen Yanqing explained, "The old furniture was worn and rotten, so I found similar styles and bought them to replace the old ones."
