Chapter 409 If I can't hold it anymore, I'll walk in front of you
Xia Weiguo and his eldest son Xia Yunfei came over not long after. After arriving, he and his brother Xia Weicheng chatted with each other.
Finally decided to speak up.
Unexpectedly, after telling the old father about it, the old man took a very open-minded view on the matter. He said: "I am already this age, there is nothing I can't accept. Besides, your third aunt suffered a lot when she was alive. I didn't do the same before.
I can’t even swallow my food. If it weren’t for now, I would rather die.”
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You have to live for another twenty years to watch Jingrui get married and the girls get married. Then we will have a great time." Xia Zekai was not happy that his grandfather said, "Die."
Forget it. Such depressing words.
Xia Shande raised his head and glared at him with a smile: "You are such a bastard that you know how to coax me. When Jingrui gets married, I will be over a hundred years old. How can I live for such a long time?"
This interruption removed the sad atmosphere, which made the two brothers Xia Weiguo and Xia Weicheng feel relieved.
They all discussed how to go back. At first they thought about all the men going back, but in the end they just thought about going back. Why should they hesitate about such a big thing?
Xia Shande sighed: "Go back and take a look. We won't have this opportunity again."
This matter is settled.
After all this trouble, Xia Weicheng thought they would never come back, and Zhou Yinghong also meant the same.
This time, Xia Zekai did not refute, and his mother went directly to pack her luggage.
The eldest brother notified the eldest sister-in-law Li Aijuan and asked her to pack some clothes and go to school to pick up the daughter. The second brother also called the second sister-in-law.
After this busy circle, more than an hour passed. After Xia Zekai loaded the luggage of his parents and grandfather into the car, they gathered at the Zhoucheng Expressway service area and started walking back together.
On the other side, Xia Zejiang, who had already gone to school, also asked for leave and started walking back.
When I returned to my hometown, it was almost dark.
When Xia Weicheng's son's car entered the village, he planned to get out of the car first and go over to lay the foundation stone. However, Xia Shande, who was sitting in the car, said: "Why are you panicking? You can't hold your breath. Go home first and we'll come together later."
.”
Xia Zekai felt funny in his heart when he saw his grandfather training his father to be obedient.
"Grandpa, are you angry? You scolded grandpa so harshly." The girl asked him.
When Xia Shande heard his great-granddaughter's question, he quickly shook his head: "No, with you two little darlings, grandpa won't be angry."
"Oh, mom said, grandpa, you can't be angry," the girl said.
"What a good boy!" Xia Shande said.
People in the car laughed when they heard her childish language.
Three cars arrived home one after another. When they saw them coming back, everyone in Xiazhuang also knew the news of Xia Weihe's mother's death. Some people were worried that old man Xia Shande could not think about it anymore and wanted to come over to persuade him.
Only then did I realize that there was no strange emotion on his face at all.
"Uncle Shande, don't think too much, the third aunt is relieved," someone said.
What he said doesn’t sound nice, but it’s a fact!
…
The brothers Xia Weicheng and Xia Weiguo no longer bothered to chat with the neighbors who had gathered around them. After unloading the things in the car, they drove to the alley west of the north end of Xiazhuang.
At this time, there were quite a few people at Xia Weihe's house. A cloth roof was propped up with bamboo poles at the door. A square table was placed on the north side of the door, with four long-legged benches surrounding the table. Several older people were at the door.
Drinking tea and chatting at the table.
Seeing Xia Shande coming over, several people quickly stood up.
"Hey, brother Shande, why are you here? Weiguo, Weicheng, why didn't you two persuade Xie?" An old man said to the two brothers.
I'm still afraid that Xia Shande will be too excited and something unexpected will happen.
Xia Shande waved his hand directly and said: "Shan Shui, you drink your tea, I will come over and take a look and then go back. I am the only one left among the three of us brothers. I have lived to this age, what else can I not think about?"
Xia Zekai also heard what his grandfather said. He could feel that what his grandfather said was true. He seemed to have put everything aside and was indifferent to life and death!
I helped my grandpa through the door and faced a lattice door made of black and white cloth. The black and white portrait of the third grandma was placed on the table inside the lattice door.
At this time, the table was already filled with tributes such as chicken, fish and meat.
At this time, Xia Zekai suddenly felt that the hand holding his grandfather's body was shaking again. When he turned to look at his grandfather, Xia Zekai found that his grandfather had tears streaming down his face and his nose was running down. He was not as free and easy as he said just now.
Xia Zekai quickly took out his trouser pocket and finally found a piece of paper ready for his two daughters. He wiped his grandfather's nose and then used another piece of new paper to wipe his tears.
The eldest brother Xia Yunfei also came to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him at all.
Xia Shande burst into tears later.
Xia Zekai and the others felt sad as they listened to their grandfather's cries, and tears began to flow from their eyes.
Afraid that grandpa's mood swings would continue to increase here, coupled with his illness, after last discussion, he didn't dare to let grandpa stay here longer. Xia Zekai, his eldest brother, and his second brother sent grandpa home together.
That night, after their father Xia Weicheng and uncle Xia Weiguo came back, they said they had to go there to watch the funeral that night, and asked their three brothers to follow them.
No one declined on this matter.
According to the custom in their hometown, after the old man passes away, he is buried. This process lasts three days. Xia Zekai and his three brothers also kept vigil for three days during these three days.
Until the moment the Third Grandma's coffin was buried, her name would only appear on the tombstone and family tree.
Grandpa has been secretly wiping away tears for the past two days.
No one could persuade him, so he would only grin when his great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters were playing around him.
"Grandpa, why don't you come with me to live in Qicheng for a few days?" Xia Zekai saw that his grandfather's mood had not been high, but he did not dare to let him live in his hometown anymore, fearing that the condition he had finally controlled would become serious again.
.
The old man had a clear mind. He glanced at his grandson and said, "I have lived to this age, and there is nothing I can't bear to see. Don't show your little tricks in front of me."
Xia Zekai felt relieved when he heard what his grandfather said.
"Don't worry, just go and do what you have to do. I will have to go to Jicheng to be hospitalized in two days." Xia Shande said.
He looked at the grandson's face in front of him and said, "It's not what you said. I still have to watch Jingrui get a wife. Then you, the uncle, will have to express your gratitude well."
"That's for sure, grandpa, don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine." Xia Zekai said, patting his chest.
Xia Shande said 'hmm' and said, "You are the most promising little monkey in our family. Zekai, please don't burden yourself in the future."
Grandpa meant what he said. Xia Zekai understood in his heart, but he did not argue.
Everyone has something to do. After finishing the funeral arrangements for the third grandma, my uncle Xia Weiguo thought of staying in his hometown for two more days, and then he would go with his grandfather to Jicheng to be hospitalized and accompany her.
Xia Zekai also said to his father: "Dad, if you have a driver's license, I will leave the car to you so that it will be convenient for you to drive in the future."
"Go away, I can't afford to pay for it with my little salary." Xia Weicheng was not fooled.
But he took his son's advice about getting a driver's license seriously.
…
On the way back, Luo Xiyun asked Xia Zekai: "Zekai, do you think that when we get old, we will be like the third grandma, so pitiful?"
"Nonsense, even if they are so heartless and don't take care of you anymore, I will still be able to take care of you. Don't think too much." Xia Zekai also said some loving words.
After being married for so many years, Luo Xiyun can no longer remember the last time she heard such a 'true confession'.
She felt sweet in her heart, but she still said: "On the first day of the new year, I followed my mother to Uncle He's house, and I saw the third grandma lying in that room. I thought at that time that old people are really pitiful...
"
"There's nothing we can do about it. She's unconscious. What do you think we should do?" Xia Zekai also went to see it, and the scene is still there, but he's not a god either.
Luo Xiyun was asked, and she said: "I have decided to exercise well after I go back. I will definitely not get sick in the future, otherwise it will be too miserable when the time comes."
"Also, Zekai, if one day I can't hold on anymore, I have to go in front of you..."
"Go away! How young are you, yet you've been talking about this all day long." Xia Zekai scolded her angrily.
I came back from my hometown relatively late. When I returned to Ziyu Garden, it was completely dark.
After a few people were missing from the family, I realized that a bigger house would not be a good idea as it would feel too spacious.
Xia Zekai said: "What would you like to eat tonight?"
He was really hungry after driving all the way back.
Luo Xiyun just wanted to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
She has been tortured a lot at home these past few days, and she still feels sore all over.
Yatou and Tongtong also shook their little heads and didn't want to eat. Xia Zekai thought for a while and said, "I'll go down for a walk and buy two ready-made dishes."
"Okay!" Luo Xiyun responded and took the two girls to take a bath.
After the Ziyu Garden Community was handed over last year, people began to decorate and move in. As the flow of people increased, the shops along the street here also began to operate. Naturally, there are restaurants around the community.
Xia Zekai found a restaurant, ordered two dishes, and asked the computer to load two kilograms of dumplings made by himself, and that was how he got through the night.
…
During the few days when Xia Zekai was away from the company, Lu Huan, Li Mumu and the others were busy locking targets.
But they were really unprofessional. In the end, Lu Hao, who had been in this industry for a long time, gave some suggestions so that they didn't fly around like headless flies.
"That's it. When the boss comes, let's tell him the situation." Lu Chen said.
Several other people nodded at the same time: "Okay!"
