"Mom is sick, very serious." Liang Zhichao wrinkled his face seriously, "Dad, the phone bill is very expensive. We don't have that much money, so we can't talk to you anymore. Remember to send us money. You know the address of grandma's house.
? If you don’t know, please remember..."
"I know." Liang Zhenguo responded.
Just as I was about to ask one more question, the kid over there hung up the phone.
The way he behaves is worthy of being a child taught by Su Shu.
The phone was hung up, but Liang Zhenguo was still holding the phone in a daze.
Hu Yusheng and another colleague who were listening briefly were so frightened that they did not dare to take a breath. Finally, Hu Yusheng asked, "Director, what's wrong with sister-in-law?"
Liang Zhenguo said blankly, "Your sister-in-law is dying."
After saying this, Liang Zhenguo almost went crazy, "Go and book a ticket for me. I want to go back to Baiyun County and I'm leaving today!"
Liang Zhenguo put down the microphone, put his hands on the edge of the table, and said in a sobbing voice, "I have to see her."
"Director, I will go with you. My sister-in-law is so kind to me, so I have to go and see her off for the last time." Hu Yusheng was about to cry, "My sister-in-law is such a good person, and she is still so young. How could she say no?
Already?"
Another comrade hurriedly said, "My condolences, Director. Emergency illness is something that comes at any time and is unreasonable. You still have three children to take care of, so you must cheer up."
The three children had no idea that a phone call had turned Liang Zhenguo's place upside down. Liang Zhenguo left in a hurry that afternoon. In order to get to Baiyun County as soon as possible, Liang Zhenguo had to change cars several times.
After the phone call, the three children were relieved and very happy, holding hands and jumping all the way back home with their little chests held high.
The three children made an appointment to keep it secret and give Su Shu a big surprise, so when they got home, none of the three children revealed anything to Su Shu.
In the afternoon, Guang Songlin came to see Su Shu and brought a big watermelon. Although Su Shu had no appetite for food, his appetite for fruit was not affected at all.
The three children saw that Su Shu rarely had anything to eat. Each of them only ate a small piece of watermelon and then stopped. They said that they should leave it for their mother to eat. The more she eats, the faster she will recover from her illness.
"It's okay. You guys eat it. Mom likes it. I'll buy it tomorrow. If we can't afford anything else, our family can still afford watermelon!" Zhang Fen said with a smile and shared it with the three children, thinking that in the future, she
You can no longer donate money to your parents' family.
It is not easy for a daughter and son-in-law to raise three children. If she has money, she must save it for her daughter and buy some food and clothing for the three children.
The daughter she raised is her only relative now and her support in the future.
Moreover, her two little grandsons are very sensible, filial, and considerate.
Zhang Fen gave Su Shu some traditional Chinese medicine to treat her cough. Su Shu's cough was much better before going to bed at night. Unfortunately, her nose was blocked.
Su Shu couldn't get a good rest that night and barely fell asleep until it was almost dawn.
But I could barely close my eyes. It seemed I had only slept for a few minutes when I was woken up by the sound of blowing and beating downstairs.
Su Shu opened the door in a panic and went out. Zhang Fen was in the living room telling the three children not to go to the Huang family recently.
Adults always subconsciously let children avoid unnecessary things.
"Are you awake? Were you woken up?" Zhang Fen sighed, "Grandma Huang smoked in the middle of the night last night. They are all old neighbors. Now I have to go see the old man off for the last time. Grandma Huang is relieved.
Her children are filial, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Grandma, has Grandma Huang slept in the coffin?" Liang Zhichao asked curiously.
"Yes, sleep in the coffin." Zhang Fen nodded.
"Then Grandma Huang won't feel any pain after sleeping in the coffin, right?" Yiyi also asked.
"Yes, Grandma Huang is no longer in pain." Zhang Fen touched them one by one, "Don't disturb your mother at home, or go to play with Sister Xiao Tu and the others. Yesterday, a neighbor said that he saw you leaving the family home, so please remember
, there are people taking pictures outside, you are not allowed to leave the gate of the family courtyard."
"I understand, grandma, we won't go out." Liang Zhichao nodded obediently.
After Zhang Fen went out, Liang Zhichao winked at his younger brother He Yiyi again. There was a tacit understanding between the three children. No one asked what they were doing. Liang Zhiqiang and Yiyi understood in seconds.
"Sister, let's go play with Sister Xiao Tu and the others. You should be good at home~ We will come back to accompany you after playing for a while." They pointed to the kitchen one by one, "Grandma left a meal for you in the kitchen, you must remember
Eat."
"Go and go, you don't have to come back to accompany me." Su Shu waved her hand.
The three children held hands and wandered out of the house, closing the door behind them.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Liang Zhichao said immediately, "Let's go see what Grandma Huang's coffin looks like. If it looks good, we will buy one for my mother based on Grandma Huang's coffin. Grandma said that it won't hurt if Grandma Huang sleeps in it.
Grandma Huang’s coffin is definitely effective!”
"Brother is right! Let's go quickly one by one!" Liang Zhiqiang nodded and urged them one by one, and the three of them quietly approached the place where the Huang family held the funeral.
In fact, you don't have to go too close at all. You can see it by standing in the hallway of the house at the end of the second floor and looking out.
There are no fancy styles, the difference is just in the quality of the wood.
The three children took one look and remembered it, then turned around and ran to find Sister Xiao Tu and the others to play together.
Su Shu had no appetite, so she had a few mouthfuls of porridge and half an egg for breakfast. She drank grass soup to dispel wind and cold all morning while busy finishing the translation work at hand.
The lunch that Su Shu and the three children had was cooked by Zhang Fen when she came back. After the meal, Zhang Fen went out again.
The people in the family home are all elderly neighbors who help each other when the family has something to do. Zhang Fen spent the whole morning at Huang's house helping.
After washing the dishes, the three children went to the room to look for Su Shu. They saw two wads of paper blocking Su Shu's nostrils. The three children thought it was funny, but they also felt sorry for their mother.
"Mom, isn't it so uncomfortable?" Liang Zhichao sighed, and then asked, "Mom, can I borrow someone else's coffin?"
"How can that be done? I've never heard of borrowing a coffin for use. It's outrageous." Su Shu waved her hand, "Don't get so close to me."
The three children took turns to sigh, closed the door for Su Shu and went out.
Three children were sitting in the living room distressed.
"We can't ask Grandma Huang to borrow a coffin for mom. I don't know how long it will take dad to remit the money to us." Liang Zhichao was very distressed, "Will dad be slow?"
"Then let's ask grandma to borrow money first?" Liang Zhiqiang came up with an idea.
"If my aunt knows, my sister must also know. In that case, there will be no surprise for my sister." One by one, "If my brother-in-law hasn't remitted the money tomorrow, we will go to Grandpa Cao to borrow money tomorrow, and Grandpa Cao will definitely do it."
