Chapter 928 People say it's gone (18/24) Today is 14,000
Since the two sisters got their own piano, they immediately became interested in learning to play the piano. As soon as they came back from school, they ran to the piano and would never eat without playing for a while. You can see from this enthusiasm
Coming out is not the three-minute heat that their grandma said.
For this reason, Xia Zekai returned to the music store where he bought the piano and asked the owner of the music store to introduce him to a private piano teacher.
The owner of the piano store, named Yu Jianchun, introduced him to graduate students in the piano performance department of the Beijing Conservatory of Music, who quoted 100-150 yuan per hour, and teachers who quoted 200-400 yuan per hour.
He also told Xia Zekai that there was no need to find a teacher for the basic stage. It would be enough to find a graduate student from the conservatory of music. Moreover, such graduate students who work part-time can teach more carefully than professional teachers.
When Xia Zekai heard what he said, he thought deeply. This is the same as employing people.
Most of the old guys have learned to be slippery as time goes by, and they don't put in much effort in anything they do, but they no longer take it seriously.
But Xin Guadanzi is very serious and has the energy to ‘work hard’.
Xia Zekai didn't know if the situation mentioned by the music store boss had the same problem as the company's employment, but he felt that since the music store boss said so, it was probably somewhat similar.
According to the owner of the music store, if you really want to specialize in this area in the future, you will need to find a more professional professor-level teacher.
The group of Zhongbuliu is a little bit too weak to get up, which is not advisable.
Through the introduction of the owner of the piano store, Xia Zekai found a graduate student in the piano performance department of the Beijing Conservatory of Music. He taught his two daughters for 2 hours a day at a price of 150 per hour, with one day off per week. The payment was made in cash and there was no default.
This private teacher's name was Xie Xindi. She taught her for two days. Xia Zekai found that her teaching was really good. Even he understood it. He would warm up his hands when his daughter was not at home.
…
Some people say that life is when you are most complacent and suddenly gives you a slap in the face. Xia Zekai doesn't know who said this, but he thinks it makes sense.
Just like when he was very happy recently, his wife was pregnant with triplets. After the initial shock, he confirmed that everything was normal, and he should have been happily enjoying the pregnancy.
But at noon that day, he suddenly received a call from his mother.
His mother, Zhou Yinghong, told him a piece of bad news on the phone, which made him confused on the spot. His hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, and his ears were buzzing.
"Zekai, your grandma may not be able to survive. Can you come back now?" her mother Zhou Yinghong asked her on the phone.
Xu was worried about her daughter-in-law's current physical condition and feared that her son's death would cause her daughter-in-law to have objections, so she was somewhat contradictory when speaking.
Xia Zekai was at a loss when he heard what his mother said on the phone.
The next moment, he felt like his whole body was out of control, and his chest felt uncomfortable.
"Mom, my grandma is not fine, so why can't she do it? Don't joke?" Xia Zekai took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement before asking.
Zhou Yinghong said: "When your grandma got up yesterday, she didn't hold the table beside the bed properly. She fell off the bed and kowtowed. Your grandpa couldn't do it by himself. He called your second uncle. Your second uncle came from the shed."
When I rushed back, I called 120 and took your grandma to the county hospital, but today she was sent back. If you can come back, come back and see your grandma."
"Mom, where are you now?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Zhou Yinghong said: "Your dad and I are at your grandpa's house now, and your uncle is taking care of your grandpa at the villa."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yinghong hesitated for a while and then said: "Zekai, how is Xiyun doing over there? If you can't come back, forget it..."
"Mom, she's fine. She's quite stable now. I'll leave soon and go back by myself." Xia Zekai was a little flustered.
Have you reached a place where hospitalization is not allowed?
Mother said that grandma just fell down yesterday, so it wouldn’t be so serious if she kowtows, right?
Xia Zekai was very confused. He was not sure. His heart kept beating wildly and he felt panicked.
After hanging up the phone and returning to the room, Luo Xiyun saw that his face looked very bad, so he asked him with concern: "Zekai, what's wrong with you? You look so bad."
"Daughter-in-law, something happened to my grandma. I have to go back." When he spoke, there was a bit of panic in his voice, which made Luo Xiyun's heart skip a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
"Then you go back quickly. My mother is taking care of me here. I'm fine." Luo Xiyun said.
Liu Chunhua also heard what her son-in-law said, and she quickly said: "Zekai, if you are in a hurry, don't delay. Go back quickly. I'll watch the three of them here. It's okay."
"After such a big thing happened, Xiyun should go back. But she is like this. She really can't go back. Please tell your mother."
"Mom, it's okay, you don't have to think too much." After Xia Zekai finished speaking, he explained again: "I will explain to Geng Yuqin and Cui Xiaofeng later that when you send Yatou and Tongtong to and from school, they will drive
I'll take you there. If there's something that can't be solved, stop temporarily or call me and I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
Xia Zekai had no time to explain more. He called Wang Yi and the other six people over, and assigned Cui Xiaofeng a task, asking him to take Ma Chengyuan, Lin Yi, and Geng Yuqin to protect the whole family here.
.
Ask Wang Yi and Wu Jialei to follow him back.
After arranging the division of labor, Xia Zekai directly asked Wang Yi to drive away. Wang Yi and Wu Jialei switched cars along the way. Except for getting out of the service area and going to the bathroom to urinate, they hardly stopped and drove directly from the capital to their hometown.
in the county hospital.
I walked back in the afternoon, covering a distance of more than 500 kilometers. Regardless of whether I was speeding or not, I reached my grandma's house in 7 hours.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his grandmother's house, he heard crying from inside. Xia Zekai's heart seemed to be clenched tightly by a big hand, making him unable to breathe.
Is it difficult, is it difficult...
He quickly opened the door and went in. As soon as he entered, he saw many people standing in the courtyard of his grandma's house. Many faces were familiar but could not be named, and many more faces were unfamiliar.
He also saw his father Xia Weicheng in the crowd, who was talking to his uncle Zhang Jun.
The expressions on both of their faces were not very good.
Xia Zekai hurried over: "Dad, uncle, what's going on with my grandma now?"
Xia Weicheng suddenly saw his son appearing in front of him. He was particularly surprised: "Zekai, how did you come back and why did you come back so fast?"
"Dad, I drove all the way back. Let's not talk about this for now. How is my grandma doing now?" Xia Zekai asked anxiously.
They ate some bread and drank a bottle of mineral water along the way. Now they were hungry again, but Xia Zekai had no intention of eating.
When Xia Weicheng heard his son ask, he shook his head and whispered: "Not very good!"
"It's in the house, go in and have a look."
Having said this, Xia Weicheng raised his head and pointed to the room where his grandma usually slept. At this moment, Xia Zekai also heard bursts of crying and howling coming from inside. After listening carefully, it was the voice of his second uncle Zhou Shuren.
"Mom, I'm sorry for you!"
"Jian, I shouldn't have gone to the shed. If I were here to watch, your grandma would be fine."
At this time, my second uncle Zhou Shuren was sitting cross-legged on the ground, crying very sadly with runny nose and tears.
He kept complaining about himself and felt that he was very responsible for this matter.
Cousin Zhou Jian felt particularly guilty when he heard this, and pulled him up hard: "Dad, get up quickly, don't say that..."
Then the voice of mother Zhou Yinghong came again: "Second brother, my mother will not blame you for this, get up quickly."
Xia Zekai glanced at his father, and Xia Weicheng nodded, with a sad expression on his face. He said, "Your second uncle has always felt that this matter was his fault because he didn't take good care of him."
"This..." Xia Zekai didn't know how to say it.
But it’s not necessarily the case that it’s entirely the second uncle’s fault.
After all, everyone has to live, and my second uncle also has a family to take care of and is very busy.
"Zekai, why are you here?" Aunt Zhou Yun came out of the room where her grandma was lying. Her eyes were red and swollen. When she saw her nephew Xia Zekai, she asked him in surprise.
My uncle Zhang Jun took over and said, "Zekai just arrived. He didn't stop all the way and drove back directly. The second sister is also serious. Why did you have to call Zekai back?"
"Aunt, uncle, it's okay!" Xia Zekai waved his hand and asked: "Aunt, how is my grandma?"
"Go in and take a look, talk to her, ask your second uncle to come out, and don't disturb your grandma." This is what the second aunt Zhou Yun said.
Xia Zekai went in and saw his second uncle leaning in front of the bed where his grandma was lying. He was slumped on the ground, as if his whole body had no bones. He cried from time to time and looked sad.
Zhou Yinghong, who was waiting in the room, saw her son coming in. She quickly waved: "Zekai, come quickly and have a few words with your grandma."
"Grandma!" Xia Zekai passed by in a few steps. He glanced at the bed. Grandma had her eyes closed, her face expressionless, and there was a blue spot on her forehead. It seemed that she had knocked it there.
But why is it so serious?
It's a pity that grandma didn't seem to hear his call and didn't open her eyes.
Xia Zekai couldn't explain how he felt. He quickly asked: "Mom, what did the doctor say? If it's not possible, send him to the capital. I'll find a doctor."
"It's... useless!" Zhou Yinghong seemed to have exhausted all her strength before she said this.
Xia Zekai held his grandma's hand tightly. It was still a little warm, but when he felt it carefully, he found it was a little cold. Grandma seemed not to feel anything at all and did not respond.
Xia Zekai had forgotten the time. He didn't know how much time had passed. He suddenly felt that his grandma's hand seemed to move. He quickly lowered his head to look, only to find that his grandma's fingers moved. He then raised his head to look at his grandma's face.
The eyelids seemed to move, but did not open, and then there was the sound of short breathing...
"Bang!" Zhou Jian, the cousin of the second uncle's family next to him, knelt down. He cried and shouted: "Grandma, wake up, Grandma!"
It's a pity that there is really no movement this time.
Xia Zekai suddenly felt that all the energy in his body was taken away. He sat down on the ground in a daze, feeling no pain anymore.
The mother next to her, Zhou Yinghong, started crying: "Mom, mother, please keep talking, I am Erni!"
"Mom, my dear mother!" My aunt Zhou Yun, who had just gone outside to take a breath, came in again, crying miserably.
"Mom..." The second uncle staggered and rushed in.
Xia Zekai was a little lost. He never expected that he would run back slowly and meet his grandma for the last time, but he didn't hear a word from her.
At this time, Xia Zekai was in a trance.
The Zhou family also has a common surname in this village. When my grandma passed away, people from the Zhou family came to arrange the funeral arrangements. Many children and nephews from the Zhou family came to help.
When Xia Zekai regained consciousness, he called his wife, briefly explained the situation, and told her that she wouldn't be able to go back for two or three days.
Luo Xiyun understood it as soon as he heard it and asked him to take care of himself.
Xia Zekai suddenly remembered something. He hadn't seen his grandfather since he came back. Where had he gone?
After seeing his father, Xia Zekai quickly went to ask him: "Dad, where is my grandpa?"
"It's over with your second uncle. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it. I sent him there yesterday and didn't dare to let him come over. Your sister Lingling is there with him. Why don't you go over and have a look." Xia Weicheng
Said so.
Xia Zekai's heart trembled when he heard this. He turned his head and listened to the crying in the room. He couldn't stay any longer. He wiped away his tears, washed his face, and called Wang Yi to drive to his second uncle's place.
When I came over, my cousin Zhou Ling was busy in the yard. When Xia Zekai entered, she called "Sister Lingling".
Zhou Ling and Xia Zekai rarely met each other. When they met suddenly, she almost didn't recognize them. Then she shouted happily: "It's Zekai, when did you come back? Second aunt said you went to the capital, right?"
Why did you go so far away?"
"Sister Lingling, I just arrived at night. Where is my grandpa?"
"Here in the house, how is grandma doing? Is she feeling better?" Zhou Ling asked with a look of expectancy in her eyes.
Xia Zekai opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn't know what to say. Could it be possible to tell her that grandma had left?
Seeing her cousin Xia Zekai's face twisted and silent, Zhou Ling seemed to understand something. She covered her mouth on the spot and burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry out for fear of being heard by the grandfather in the room.
"Sister Ling, don't think too much..."
Xia Zekai comforted him, but before he finished speaking, he heard his grandfather's voice coming from the room: "Who is it? Who is outside."
"Lingling, is your father back?"
Grandpa's voice was filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
Listen carefully, I'm still a little hesitant.
Xia Zekai felt a little worried when he heard this, and he hurried in: "Grandpa, it's me, Zekai."
"Oh, why are you back again? Who asked you to come back? Is it your mother? This Ernie is really causing trouble." Grandpa Zhou Lin was talking, and he couldn't help but blame Xia Zekai's mother.
Xia Zekai quickly said: "Grandpa, it has nothing to do with my mother. I just have to come back for something."
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Zhou Lin patted his skinny body and said, "Look at me, I'm so strong. What can happen to me?"
"By the way, Zekai, have you gone over there? Have you seen your grandma? Have you talked to her? How is it?" Grandpa asked anxiously.
Xia Zekai endured the heartache and tried to make himself laugh. He said: "I said it. I said it several times. I also told my grandma that your grandson's wife is pregnant again. This time it's triplets. By the end of March next year,
The baby will be born in April, grandpa, by then you will have three more great-grandchildren, be happy!"
"Hey, you kid, your mother didn't tell me about this. You should tell your grandma." The old man Zhou Lin never left his wife, and he kept thinking about it in his heart.
Xia Zekai said "hmm" twice and said, "I've said it, I've said it. Grandma is very happy!"
"Yes, but she didn't say a word to me after she came back yesterday!" Grandpa Zhou Lin suddenly fell silent again.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Suddenly there was a series of explosions in the distance, followed by two more explosions in the air. As soon as Xia Zekai heard it, he knew that someone was setting off a cannon, and it was a type of cannon called a two-kicking cannon. In some places, there were two explosions.
It's called a double-shot cannon.
Except for New Years and holidays, they are usually only released when "someone has returned to heaven."
It was nothing at first, but the next moment his body seemed to freeze suddenly. The next moment, he quickly looked towards his grandpa, only to find that his grandpa had turned his head and looked through the wall in the direction of home. His dark skin suddenly became tight.
His chapped lips were trembling as he asked, "Zekai, is that our home?"
"Grandpa, you heard wrong, there are many families over there, not just ours!" Xia Zekai refused to admit it.
Grandpa Zhou Lin raised his hand and wiped his eyes with starched white clothes that had been worn for who knows how many years and had been washed. He said: "I am old, but I am not old and stupid yet!"
His hands were shaking so much that Xia Zekai was scared when he saw them. He was afraid that his grandpa would lose his temper if he was too sad. He quickly supported his grandpa and asked him to sit down slowly. Then he felt his grandpa's right arm leaning hard against him.
on myself...
"Grandpa, nothing can happen to you again!" Xia Zekai said in a hoarse voice.
In the next two days, Xia Zekai knelt down to see his grandma off for the last time. He spent most of the time with his grandpa.
The other elders had all gone to take care of grandma's affairs, and Xia Zekai was really worried about his grandpa staying alone with his second uncle.
On the day when his grandma was buried, his grandpa insisted on taking a look, but Xia Zekai couldn't resist him and finally let Wang Yi drive him there.
They didn't even dare to let him get out of the car, so he just leaned on the car glass and watched the people outside who were busy putting coffins into the pit.
Grandpa didn't cry, his eyes were a little dull.
Xia Zekai was very worried about his grandfather's situation.
Fortunately, there was no big trouble in the end.
After grandma's posthumous affairs were completed, many relatives left again, leaving only close relatives like them to gather together.
Discussing matters about grandpa.
After the accident happened to grandma, no one could worry about letting grandpa live alone.
Aunt Zhou Yun said: "Second brother, second sister, don't say anything. Let our father live with me. I don't raise chickens now, and I have nothing else to do at home. Zhang Jun goes to work, and Zhang Jun goes to work."
That guy Peng has gone to work, and I don’t want to see my grandson anyway, so let’s leave it at that.”
"That won't work. I'm thinking of taking our father to Qicheng, so we can watch together." Mother Zhou Yinghong said.
The aunt said: "Second sister, I know what you mean, but the problem is that our father doesn't want to leave now. Our mother just left, and he doesn't want to go far away."
"My second brother used to watch it. I'll watch it this year. Let's wait until next year and let our father relax a bit. Then you can take him over and watch it."
"Let's take turns!" Second Aunt Zhou Yun said.
Aunt Zhou Yanchun, who just came back from Jicheng yesterday, didn't know what to say.
She also wanted to ask her adoptive father to live with her in Jicheng, but she was really busy. Seeing that her daughter had to go to work, she would have collapsed if her nephew hadn't helped arrange a high-paying job.
Xia Zekai knew that what his second aunt said was true, and he could also feel that his grandpa really didn't want to leave this place.
It turns out that there are never so many things that go well as one wishes in life.
After finishing, Zhou Yinghong urged her son Xia Zekai to return to the capital quickly. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant with triplets and was alone in the capital. Even if her biological mother was there to take care of her, she still felt uneasy.
Others heard Zhou Yinghong say that Luo Xiyun was pregnant with triplets, and then they knew why Xia Zekai went to the capital.
