Grandfather

“Hey, Grandad, we’re here, where you at?” YuZhi called out in the empty sitting room off grandfather’s living quarters, expecting him to be close as he had asked to see TangShi now life was quieter. Leading the way with her walking shyly behind him as he ventured towards the closed bedroom door. Still distance between them, but since the announcement of Rong Cai’s release on bail two days ago she was more inclined to stick to his side and have him around again.

“I’m here.” Grandfather wandered out, a bright smile on his face and dressed in a casual grey lounge suit today. His white hair shining and combed back and his beard neatly trimmed. For a man in his seventies he was still the picture of health despite needing a walking stick which he used more as a weapon sometimes.
