Xu Wanhao walked in hurriedly through the snow. Su Yun stood up with the help of Xiao Lin. Xu Wanhao had already opened the door and walked in. His hands were full of things, which were for his aunt Su Yun.
New Year's gift.
But the expression on his face was not relaxed, and he didn't look like he was coming to give a gift.
Xiao Lin took what he was holding and put it on the table aside. He poured a glass of warm water and handed it to the sweaty Xu Wanhao, "Drink some water and talk slowly."
Xu Wanhao sighed and drank half of the water in the enamel cup. He wiped his mouth carelessly with his sleeve covered with ice scum and said, "Azhou's grandma is dead."
"What?"
"What?"
Not only Su Yun was surprised, but even Xiao Lin also showed a surprised look.
You must know that Guan Qiuju, who they just saw some time ago, although she is a bit older, her energetic appearance does not look like a dying person. It has only been two or three months, why did she suddenly die?
Xu Wanhao knew that they didn't believe it, and he actually thought the same as them.
But on the way here, he did indeed see the Chen family guarding a coffin. Guan Qiuju's mother-in-law was lying on the coffin crying so hard that her sister died unjustly...
"I didn't go there at the time, but I saw Azhou and other Chen family members in the crowd, so his grandmother must have passed away."
As for why Guan Qiuju died in the Guan family, Xu Wanhao has not yet thought about it.
Su Yun didn't expect that someone who was celebrating the New Year would hear such news. She looked at Xiao Lin aside and asked him what he should do now.
"Want to go over and help?"
The relationship between their family and the Chen family is not good whether they are present or not.
Xiao Lin frowned and pondered. Mrs. Xiao's door opened and she walked out. "On the day of burial, Anzi can go over and pay a memorial ceremony."
The old lady made this decision out of consideration for the younger generations of the Chen family.
Xiao Lin nodded.
"I know grandma."
Xu Wanhao sat at their house for a while, said a few words, and left again. He was out to give gifts today, and he would go home for dinner after the gifts were finished.
"It might snow again soon, so drive slower on the road." Xiao Lin took Xu Wanhao out of the yard with their return gift.
Xu Wanhao exclaimed, "Okay, uncle, my mother told you to come over for dinner when you are in the second grade of junior high school." Xu Wanhao now accepts this uncle who is only a few years older than him very well.
"Okay." Xiao Lin patted his shoulder and watched him leave before turning around and entering the house.
It got dark at night, and they set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year as always, but there was a hint of sadness in everyone's eyebrows. Zhao Meiyu was so crazy with the fireworks that she didn't notice anything was wrong.
Gu Jinnian carefully noticed that something was wrong with the situation. After their respective wives went home tired and fell asleep, Gu Jinnian came over to ask Xiao Lin what happened.
Xiao Lin had nothing to hide, so he told Gu Jinnian about Guan Qiuju's death.
Gu Jinnian and Xiao Lin had the same doubts.
"This...that old lady doesn't look like someone who passed away in recent years? Her face doesn't seem to be sick. Is there any other misunderstanding here?"
Gu Jinnian works in the financial field, and he has been exposed to a lot of numbers and his senses are relatively sensitive. He feels that the cause of Guan Qiuju's death is a bit strange.
Xiao Lin felt the same way.
"Maybe you need to go to Guan's house to see why she died suddenly." Guan Qiuju's life and death actually had nothing to do with Xiao Lin, and he would not take her death to heart.
The reason why he was a little worried was because he was worried that someone would blame his grandmother for Guan Qiuju's death.
He didn't care about the life or death of outsiders, but he couldn't wrong his grandma for it.
Gu Jinnian also knew about the awkward relationship between the Chen family and the Xiao family. He nodded and told Xiao Lin, "Pay more attention these days."
"Um."
After the two men finished talking, Gu Jinnian returned to his home across the street, and Xiao Lin also turned around and returned to the house.
Early the next morning, they got up, packed their things, and went to Mr. Fang's place to pay New Year's greetings.
Originally, Su Yun asked Mrs. Xiao to go there with her, but the old lady said she was too old and didn't want to move around. They had no choice but to ask the old lady to get something to eat at home, and then they went out with their things.
They brought a lot of things, including the food they made yesterday that they left untouched, and some pastries that Xiao Lin made many times under Su Yun's guidance and finally got Su Yun's approval.
Xiao Lin also brought two bottles of Maotai.
Big and small bags, really like a married girl returning to her parents' home.
Mr. Fang got up early in the morning and after doing a set of boxing in the yard, he put on the new clothes Su Yun bought for him before the Chinese New Year and sat at home waiting for Su Yun and the others to come.
Hearing the sound of cars coming from outside, he stood up and walked from the house to the yard to greet them.
"Grandpa, why are you out? It's cold. Go back inside. Be careful of catching a cold." Su Yun was wrapped like a bear with only one pair of eyes exposed. When she saw Mr. Fang walking out and standing in the yard, she was a little agitated.
in a hurry.
Mr. Fang uttered an ouch and replied with a smile, "Grandpa is fine. Grandpa is in strong health!" After saying this, he did not forget that Su Yun should be careful and watch her steps.
"Don't get past my great-grandchildren."
Mr. Fang is even more nervous than Su Yun.
After instructing Su Yun, he looked at Xiao Lin who was getting something on the side, and said angrily: "I said, why do you, a brat like you, come here to take so many things every time? You have to take care of little Yun first, don't you know?"
"Grandpa, I'm fine. Brother Lin made water chestnut cake for you with his own hands. You can try it later."
"Can what he cooks be eaten?" Mr. Fang expressed doubts.
Xiao Lin sneered, "Then I won't bring you in?"
This person...
Su Yun smiled and glanced at Xiao Lin, then softly explained, "Grandpa, the pastries made by Brother Lin are delicious. I ate one piece and want to eat the second one!"
Mr. Fang snorted, "You will say good things to him."
"No, grandpa."
Xiao Lin handed the things to Mr. Fang's attendant, and he helped Su Yun and the old man go inside. Only when they got inside the house did Su Yun take off the layers of cotton-padded jackets wrapped around her body.
After taking off three pieces of clothing, she suddenly felt a lot lighter.
Xiao Lin prepared breakfast with the waiter Xiao Zhao, and Su Yun chatted with Mr. Fang on the sofa. The old man and the young man chatted in different directions, just like a real grandfather and granddaughter who have a harmonious relationship.
Su Yun liked chatting with Mr. Fang very much, talking about the special foods from various places where he had traveled all over the country. Su Yun silently remembered everything the old man mentioned in her heart, and decided to make it for her when it would be more convenient after giving birth.
He eats.
Xiao Lin's voice calling for dinner interrupted their chat, and the old man and the young man stood up and moved to the restaurant to eat.
After dinner, Su Yun took a nap here. Her room had been reserved here, and Mr. Fang specially asked the orderly Xiao Zhao to decorate the room in a way that lesbians would like.
It can be seen that he really treats Su Yun as his granddaughter.
Su Yun and the others did not meet the old man, and wholeheartedly treated this old man who had suffered all his life and was still alone even when he was old, as a real family member.
After getting up from their nap, they prepared dinner. After dinner, Su Yun and Xiao Lin set off on their way home.
As soon as their car entered Wutong Street, Su Yun saw a familiar person running out of Wutong Street in a hurry. Su Yun let out a confused sound.
