Even though Xue Cong didn't know the whole story, after what Xue Dad said just now, he had already understood what was going on.
"Ling Ling, have you decided to buy the small courtyard?"
"Yes." Xue Ling whispered: "It's my father's intention. It's the ancestor of our Xue family, and it's sold to me, and it's also our Xue family's family. The third uncle will naturally agree. If it's someone else, the third uncle will be the third uncle.
How can I feel sad in my heart?”
"Yes." Xue Congtan said calmly, "The place passed down by our ancestors, the third uncle converted it into a small courtyard. If it was sold by our cousin, the third uncle would definitely feel ashamed of his ancestors."
It is precisely because of this that the old man strongly opposed it, and even became furious and eventually fainted from illness.
Xue Ling whispered: "Fortunately, money can solve the problem. But even if you give money, you may not necessarily..."
Looking at Ah Huan's expression just now and his third uncle's weak appearance, it is not difficult to guess that the old man's life is not long.
"Oh..." Xue Cong sighed softly and said, "We are all rich on hand. If we can solve the problem, we don't think it's difficult. The most feared thing is that it can't be solved with money. The most painful thing in life is separation from life and death.
.”
In her heart, the third uncle was like his old father. She could never walk away again.
"I will ask for half a month off from Taiwan tomorrow morning. During this period, I will accompany my third uncle."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally nodded.
"If the station can adjust the work, then take the opportunity to spend more time with the elderly. It is also a helpless thing for the son to support his parents but not to wait for him. You have always been the most filial to the third uncle, and I understand your feelings."
Xue Cong leaned against the chair and breathed a breath as tired.
"I have been very busy in recent years and I don't care about my third uncle at all. Fortunately, my wife has been staying in the imperial capital in recent years and can spend some time to take care of the family. When I don't have time, he will help me visit San.
Uncle. But he was a little careless. The things he bought were not necessarily suitable for use or to eat. Last time he went to several pharmacies and bought a ginseng. Uncle San refused to accept them, saying that his body was not suitable for eating."
Xue Ling couldn't help laughing and whispered: "My brother-in-law only thinks that choosing the best ones should not be wrong. Men are generally rough and not as considerate as girls."
"Your Ayuan doesn't look like you." Xue Cong signaled Cheng Tianyuan, who was accompanying Xue's father on the other side, and said in a gentle voice: "I think he is very considerate of the old man. The third uncle once said that he is a very calm and considerate good man at home."
"He is a special situation." Xue Ling laughed and said, "He can go out of the hall and into the kitchen."
"Okay!" Xue Cong also smiled, "You are the happiest."
Xue Ling shook her head: "Brother-in-law is not bad either! She is in and out of the court!"
Xue Cong was amused and whispered: "He is quite a fight for me. I will retire in two or three years, and he can continue to do it. Only when his energy is too late can he retreat behind the scenes. Now, he can't stand behind the scenes.
What we care about the most is our daughter abroad. Her father hoped that she would return to China, but she refused. Recently, the father and daughter are having a quarrel. It is also very difficult for me to get stuck in the middle."
Xue Ling thought for a while and said, "Sister, let me tell the truth. The cultures in foreign countries are different. Even if you retire and go there, it is probably a bit difficult to adapt. After all, we are all natives, language, culture and life.
Habits have long been imprinted by this land without any gaps. You are still strong now and don’t need children to take care of you. But what if you get sick? What will happen when you are old? That’s the best
When you need children, how can you take care of your family and work abroad? We may not be able to protect our children from aging, but when we are most uncomfortable and lonely, we still hope that our children will be by our side to take care of them at that moment.
Is it?"
"I..." Xue Cong smiled slightly: "I have thought so too. In fact, I also hope she will come back. We are the only daughter, and we don't want to be too deserted. In addition, the domestic development situation is so good now, with her
Education and cultural level are enough to make some contributions to our country. I don’t want her to be rich and powerful, I just hope that she will be a useful person to society and do my best to build the country. I was still standing on her side,
I also changed my mind slowly. I could buy a big house for her, but she had to go back to China for a while. As long as she felt the charm of the new imperial capital, she should stay."
"That would be great." Xue Ling smiled and said, "When she comes, if she is hesitant, you can bring her to me. I will take her to my side for a while, maybe she will help her.
”
"That's great!" Xue Cong said: "I often talk about you to her, saying that you are the most economically savvy one of our Xue family, so that she has to learn from you."
Xue Ling shook her head: "I'm so flattered."
The two sisters chatted for a while again.
At this time, Xue Huan came over with an old doctor with white beard, nodded to them quickly, and quickly entered the ward.
Dad Xue also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Cheng Tianyuan.
"Dad, I'll just go in and take a look. Ah Huan may have hired an old doctor to help."
Dad Xue was frightened earlier, and after calming down, his hands and feet were weak and weak, and he was not strong enough.
"Okay, then you go in and take a look. You have to tell the doctor that your third uncle didn't eat anything at noon or evening."
Cheng Tianyuan responded and hurriedly followed in.
Xue Ling and Xue Cong had already entered the ward and were waiting in the corner.
The two old cousins gathered beside the hospital bed and stared at the old father nervously.
The ward was very quiet, with a faint tension.
The old doctor checked and listened to his heartbeat. He stared at the instrument for most of the day, and finally walked out slowly with a calm face.
Xue Huan hurriedly followed, and everyone followed nervously.
The old doctor stood still, looked at Xue Huan and shook his head and sighed.
Xue Huan's eyes were slightly red and he asked, "Director... Are you unable to do anything? Try to try!"
The old dean murmured: "The old man has already dried up the oil lamp, it has been around for about two or three days."
ah?!
Everyone was shocked!
I thought that the old man might be alive soon, but I never expected it to be so fast!
Two or three days?! Only two or three days left!
Xue Cong shook his body and asked with tears: "No - he was still in good spirits a while ago, why... please help me think of a solution! Any medicine you can use, as long as it works!"
As long as she can save the third uncle, she will be willing to spend all of her money! As long as she can save him... as long as she can!
The old dean shook his head slowly: "The old man has always been tough, but his life span is limited. Looking at the world, how many people can have such blessings as old man? I understand your mood, but no matter how many methods or good medicines are, they will be short-lived.
, and even aggravates the old man's pain. It's better to let it go and let him return peacefully."
After speaking, the old man gave Xue Huan a comforting look and left step by step.
Xue Cong and Xue Ling both cried.
The two brothers Xue Sheng squatted down one after another and started crying softly.
Cheng Tianyuan didn't care about his wife and hurried to support his father-in-law.
Dad Xue cried and kept shaking his head.
Xue Zhilan had red eyes and held the old brother's hand, tears couldn't help falling down.
The corridor of the hospital was very quiet, with only a wave of low sobs left.
The night is dark and the cold wind blows, making people's faces hurt and their hearts hurt.
