Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2293 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-Three) Carved Bowl

Although carving the pattern on the bowl with a sharp stone is not as easy as drawing it on paper, she carved it bit by bit, carefully and precisely.

During the engraving process, too many past events emerged in her mind.

For countless days, she had eaten with Tie Jinjue's father and two children using bowls with that pattern on them. The scenes at that time seemed to quickly surround her, but she knew very well that they were all just fantasies.

With every stroke, the tip of the stone scratched the bowl and also scratched her heart.

However, such a pattern had already been engraved deeply in her heart.

The moment she finally carved the pattern on the bowl without a pattern on it, her heart, which already had the pattern carved on it, was scratched into a bloody mess by the tip of the stone.

Looking at the bowl with the pattern engraved on it, she smiled with tears in her eyes and thought: Since I can't paint it, I will carve it. Painting will fade easily, but carving will be different. Now that it's engraved, I can finally use the bowl with this pattern again.

One day many years after Tie Jinjue's mother carved the pattern on the bowl with a pointed stone, Tie Jinjue's father was staring at the bowl with the same pattern on the table at home.

It was not the first time that Tie Jinjue's father stared at the pattern on the bowl in a daze.

When Tie Jinjue saw his father staring at the pattern on the bowl again, he did something to divert his father's attention, but his father was still looking at the pattern.

At this time, Tie Jinqi came back from outside, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and called his father.

Tie Jinjue still looked at the pattern on the bowl and responded to her.

Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue talked about the snow outside.

Their father suddenly remembered the conversation he had with their mother many years ago, and suddenly said to the two children: "Light two candles." It was clearly daytime, and although it was snowing, the sky was not very dark, and there was obviously no need to light candles in the room.

There was a stove in the room, so there was no need to rely on a small candle flame for heating.

Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue looked at each other, nodded, and lit a candle each.

The father of the two said: "She said that the flame of a candle is not big, but it can illuminate a large area."

Tie Jinqi knew that there was no need to rely on candles for lighting at this time, so he also said "hmm".

Tie Jinjue also followed with a "hmm".

The father of the two men said again, "I said, it's not only bright, but also warm."

Of course Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue both knew that there was a stove in the room and they didn't need to rely on candles for heating, but they both nodded.

Their father did not notice that they nodded, and they knew that their father was thinking about their mother and did not pay attention to their reaction at that time.

Their father continued, "She said, 'It's cold outside, and there's a stove in the room, so it's already quite warm, and looking at the candle flame will make you feel even warmer.' I said, 'It warms your heart.' After she said this, I saw her smiling at me. She said, 'It warms your heart, and even if you put out the candle, you will still feel warm in your heart.' I remember that I was smiling at that time, too, and I said that the candle in my heart will not go out. She said that the candle on the table cannot be burned all the time, but the candle in the heart can."

Having said this, the father of the two frowned, his eyes seemed a little empty, and he looked blankly at Tie Jinqi and Tie Jinjue, looked at the two candles, and then looked at the pattern on the bowl.
