Back Together, Like In The Past...

Elder Lu and elder Ming saw a small shade around and sat inside on the wooden benches where one of the monks around offered them water. Both old friends sat quietly for a sometimes not knowing what to say, looking here and there. 

Finally, elder Lu broke the silence, "It's good to see both families together again."

"Hmm! Just like in the past." Elder Ming nodded. 

"Because of the kids, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan," elder Lu said.

Elder Ming agreed and said, "You are fortunate that my granddaughter is coming to your family."

"I know." Pausing for a while, elder Lu decided to bring out a topic that was unspoken. He knew until he mentioned it, things won't move from the place and said, "She reminds me about the someone we lost." Elder Lu was referring to Ming Fangsu.
