When Xue Zhilan rushed to the nursing home in a hurry, his wife was already on his deathbed.
He held his wife's hand tremblingly and wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
My wife smiled weakly, called his name in a low voice, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Xue Zhilan was in great pain and could not accept the cruel reality of his wife's sudden death. He sat beside the hospital bed for several hours without moving.
Although all the children were very sad, they did not care about their sadness, and did not fall behind at all in what they should prepare and do.
"Dad, please have something to eat."
Xue Huan came over with a thermos bottle and whispered: "Sister Lingling brought you some light white porridge."
Xue Zhilan seemed startled and looked around suddenly.
"Ah Huan... where is your mother?"
Xue Huan even replied: "Mom is in the car and will be taken to the funeral parlor later."
"Then..." Xue Zhilan was a little incoherent: "I'll go see her off... No, I have to stay with her.
Ah Huan, you said your mother was just in a bad mood...why did she leave so suddenly?
She talked a lot to me in the morning, but why didn't she say she wasn't feeling well?
Why didn't she say it?
What disease did she have?
By the way - why wasn't there any rescue?
What have you been doing?
!”
"dad!"
Xue Huan quickly stepped forward and held down his arm, "Dad, please calm down, don't be like this... My mother was not sick, she died at the end of her life.
I checked and found that many of her organs are naturally aging and failing...it's not like she has any disease."
The corners of Xue Zhilan's eyes were wet. He looked at his son and then buried his head.
"...Did your mother say anything before she died?
Do you have?"
Xue Huan shook his head: "Nothing, just ask us to take good care of you.
We didn't notice it at all at first, until she suddenly had difficulty breathing. I immediately informed my elder brother, Sister Fang, the others and Sister Ling.
It only took more than half an hour, and no one expected it.
Dad, the only thing we can be thankful for is that my mother passed away peacefully without any pain."
Xue Zhilan covered her face and sobbed softly.
Xue Huan stood aside, silently accompanying his father.
After a while, he handed the tissue to the old man.
"Dad, please eat something.
We have to go there to hold a funeral tomorrow, so my eldest brother and I can just stay with mom tonight.
After you have eaten, go back to your room and rest, don't follow me there."
"No."
Xue Zhilan wiped away her tears and murmured: "Bring it here, I'll go with you after I'm full.
I still want to stay with your mother."
"Dad..." Xue Huan couldn't help but worry about his health and explained: "You will be busy all day tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Xue Zhilan was eating alone without speaking.
Xue Huan knew that this meant that it was not negotiable, so he had to go out to find Xue Ling to help persuade him.
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling came together, followed by Cheng Huanran and Xue Yang.
"Uncle, take a walk after you've eaten."
Xue Ling suggested: "After sending aunt over there, Ah Heng, Ah Huan and the others will stay.
You need to stay here and help determine the guest list to be notified."
"Just arrange it."
Xue Zhilan said tiredly: "You should discuss it with your father, mainly to inform some old relatives in the family.
Many of my other old colleagues and friends are no longer here, and the ones who are here are all sick, so there is no need to inform them.
As for Ah Heng and Ah Huan's social interactions, they can arrange it themselves."
Xue Ling whispered: "My father and mother are not in good condition. Just now I asked An An to escort them back to Xinyuan to rest.
They will go to the funeral home tomorrow morning.
Uncle, please stay and go there tomorrow."
Xue Zhilan took a few bites and put down the thermos.
Just when I was about to get up, I found that my legs were numb, my head was very dizzy, and my intuition was spinning! "Uncle!"
"dad!"
"Uncle!"
Everyone rushed forward and helped the old man onto the cleaned hospital bed.
Xue Huan helped his old father massage his legs and asked, "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
"……No."
Xue Zhilan lied.
Xue Ling, who was on the side, turned around and gave his eldest son a wink.
Cheng Huanran immediately understood and turned around.
Xue Zhilan closed his eyes and whispered: "I'm just numb in my feet... I'll be fine if I take a rest."
"Squint your eyes for a moment."
Xue Ling suggested: "When you recover a little bit, I'll let you go to the funeral parlor together."
"good."
Xue Zhilan murmured weakly.
After a while, Cheng Huanran stepped forward and helped the old man inject a drug containing diazepam.
After a while, the old man fell into a deep sleep.
Xue Huan turned around and said, "Sister Ling, I will leave my father to you and your brother-in-law."
"good."
Xue Ling reminded: "Ranran will drive a big car to follow you there. It will be fully equipped with supplies. You will take turns to get in the car and rest.
You have to take care of your health, as you will be busy for the next few days."
"Um."
Xue Huan lowered his voice: "Sister Ling, about the cemetery...ask my dad again.
We have to start this matter tomorrow, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time."
Xue Ling answered, turned around and asked his sons to follow him to help.
Cheng Tianyuan covered Xue Zhilan with the quilt and looked at the IV bottle.
"Daughter-in-law, uncle is sleeping deeply, let's sit down first."
Xue Ling took off his coat, sat on the bench, and rubbed his waist and back of his neck tiredly.
"what time is it now?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "It's past eight o'clock."
Xue Ling sighed quietly and asked: "How is A Fang?"
"Nothing serious."
Cheng Tianyuan answered: “Hypoglycemia combined with excessive sadness and fainting.
Xiaohan is with her now, and after a glucose injection, she should be fine tomorrow."
Xue Ling sighed again: "I was caught off guard, unexpectedly... Auntie left too suddenly."
Cheng Tianyuan sat next to her and hugged her gently.
“It was indeed quite sudden, but from another perspective, it’s not a good thing that my aunt passed away very peacefully and without any pain.
If she falls ill and is devastated by the disease, her relatives and relatives have already prepared that she will not live long, which is an extremely uncomfortable mental torture.
That’s pretty good too.”
Xue Ling nestled on his shoulder, looking at her sleeping uncle not far away.
“When we reach our age, we keep sending away our elders and even our peers.
At the same time, little lives were welcomed one after another.
Life changes and we welcome the new and say goodbye to the old. If you read too much, your mood will gradually become calmer."
Cheng Tianyuan patted her head and whispered: "That's because we don't have time to be sad.
After the funeral, you will still be sad."
"Alas..." Xue Ling sobbed softly.
The next morning, Xue Zhilan woke up faintly.
He was a doctor, and an old doctor with decades of medical experience. When he woke up, he guessed what was going on, and could only sigh helplessly.
Xue Ling arranged for him to wash up and said: "After breakfast, we will send you there immediately."
"You guys!"
Xue Zhilan had no choice but to agree.
After breakfast, the three of them drove to the funeral parlor.
Xue Ling discussed and asked: "Uncle, what do you think of the newly developed cemetery nearby?
Arrange a place alone for Auntie first?"
"No."
Xue Zhilan answered without even thinking: "It doesn't matter if it's a good place to bury them together. It's a little more expensive.
When I'm gone, just keep us together."
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded: "Okay."
