今は亡きお客様だったおばあちゃんから頂いた梅の木に、今年はいっぱい小さな実が付き始めました。おばあちゃんから梅の苗木を頂いた時はとても小さかったのですが、今は私の背丈より大きく成長しました。
The plum tree that was given to us by a now-deceased customer, an elderly woman, has started to bear lots of small fruits this year. When my grandmother gave me the plum sapling, it was very small, but now it has grown taller than me.
「少し休憩してお茶でも飲みなさい！」「お昼、出前を頼んでおいたから食べていきなさい！」仕事を依頼されてお伺いした時に頻繁に優しい声をかけてくれたおばあちゃんの声が聞こえてくるようです！
“Take a little break and have some tea!” “She told me, ‘I’ve ordered takeout for lunch, so eat here!'” I can almost hear the voice of the grandmother who often spoke to me kindly when I visited her for work!
