Mrs. He pinched Xiao Yu's cheek. "Xiao Yu is right. All girls get married eventually. I just wonder if Grandma will still be around when it's your turn to get married."
Xiao Yu looked at Mrs. He, confused. "Grandma, where are you going? Don't you want Xiao Yu anymore?"
Mrs. He said, a little sadly, "Grandma isn't going anywhere. I'll just stay right here and watch Xiao Yu grow up and get married."
Looking at Xiao Yu, Mrs. He thought of He Ze again and mumbled, "If only your father were still here. He could be the one to see you off when you get married."
Xiao Yu didn't quite hear what Mrs. He said. "Grandma, what did you say?"
Mrs. He collected herself and shook her head. "It's nothing. When you go to someone else's house tomorrow, be brave. Don't cry no matter what happens, and stick with your big brother and big sisters, okay?"
Xiao Yu nodded. "I know, Grandma."
What Mrs. He had just said made Mr. He think of He Ze as well. His mood soured, and he fell silent.
