"Speaking of which, the old plum tree in the garden finally bloomed this year. I remember it didn't bloom much last winter because it was too cold."
Pei's grandmother said with a smile, her topic shifting, as if gently taking everyone from the joy of the wedding into a more peaceful world.
Lin Ruoyun took up the conversation, her eyes glowing warmly, "Yes, that plum tree attracts quite a few birds every year when it blooms. This year I plan to plant some new flowers in the garden."
Pei Jingchuan also laughed, "I remember when I was a kid, grandma would always take me to play in the garden. Back then, I was curious about every flower and blade of grass. Thinking back on those days, they were truly happy."
Pei Yanqing joined the conversation excitedly, "I've been learning about growing vegetables at school recently; I want to try it out in our backyard when spring comes."
Men Ling looked on with anticipation, "Can I plant some too? I want to plant tomatoes and cucumbers."
