Back at home, Qiao's mother and Qiao's father were already preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Qiao Jiayue hurriedly went to wash her hair and take a bath.

She wanted to help, but Qiao's father and Qiao's mother disagreed, so she went back to her room and sat on the bed to read, and slowly, a sense of sleepiness came up.

Qiao Jiayue was woken up, she was a little confused, she seemed to have a dream, but she couldn't remember clearly, she only vaguely felt as if she was chatting with someone.

What are you talking about? It seems to have something to do with getting married.

When Qiao Hongzhi went to deliver food to Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal began.

Year after year, fewer and fewer people eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Jiayue and they went to pay New Year's greetings, and then they heard from other cousins and cousins-in-law that Grandpa Qiao planned to have a reunion dinner with the whole family in the second year of junior high school.

Everyone has no opinion, they really haven't had a reunion dinner for a long time, after all, every family is scattered, there are more and more people, and the house has long been unable to be placed.

This time I want to have a reunion dinner, counting the number of people, at least eight Eight Immortal Tables, which is really frightening, and it can catch up with the number of tables for other people's small banquets.

The second day of junior high school is son-in-law day, so the daughters-in-law of the Qiao family have to delay the time to return to their parents' house and eat this meal first.

On this festive day, in fact, Grandpa Qiao's physical condition is like the dark cloud that has been pressing on the heads of everyone in the Qiao family, except for the ignorant child, no one will be particularly happy.

When I was in the hospital before, the doctor had already said that the old man was not in good condition and could leave at any time.

But the old man has been in good condition since he came back, and the New Year is the same, no different from usual.

Uncle Qiao and they even said that the hospital was cheating people, and the doctor was a quack doctor who misdiagnosed, so they didn't need to spend that unjust money to send Grandpa Qiao to the hospital at all.

But Qiao's father is not so optimistic, he will go to Grandpa Qiao's place every day for most of the day, and try to accompany the old man as much as possible.

Now Grandpa Qiao proposed to have a reunion dinner again, which made Father Qiao a little panicked.

He asked Qiao's mother to say hello to the Deng family in Beijing first when she paid New Year's greetings, if there was a case, the engagement banquet in Beijing would be canceled.

Mu Shuwan expressed regret for such a thing, and they would adjust it according to the situation, but she told Qiao's mother that Deng Ying had booked a train ticket for the second day of the Lunar New Year and was going south.

Qiao's mother was a little surprised, but she didn't stop her, so it was good for him to come and meet Qiao's relatives for a long time.

Even if he was familiar when he went to the countryside, his identity is different now after all.

At the reunion dinner of the second year of junior high school, except for Qiao Hongyuan and Qiao Hongliang, who did not come back, and Qiao Wugu's husband, everyone else arrived.

The children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren Grandpa Qiao is very satisfied with this meal, and his spirit has been very good, and in the next few days, Grandpa Qiao has someone to eat, and it seems to be good.

Except for a few people, everyone else relaxed a few points.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the factory called and said that there was something that Qiao's father needed to deal with.

Qiao's father had no choice but to go to Quanshi, thinking that he would deal with it quickly and then rush back.

However, his butt was not hot yet, and before the matter was dealt with, he received a call from the brigade, saying that Grandpa Qiao had fainted, and this time the situation was really not good.

The two doctors at the health center read it and said that it was useless to send them to the hospital, and those who wanted to explain should be explained quickly, and those who wanted to talk should be talked about quickly, and I am afraid that they will have to prepare for the future.

Qiao's father was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to happen, he could only find a car and go to bring Qiao's family first.

In any case, she had to be present for such a big event.

That is, when Qiao's father went to pick up Qiao Wugu, he met Deng Ying on the road, and then brought him back to the Gaoshan Brigade.

Uncle Qiao's house was crowded with people, several uncles' children and grandchildren, and relatives or something.

"You two hurry up, you two haven't spoken to the old man yet. Uncle Qiao waved and shouted at the door.

Qiao's father and Qiao's fifth aunt squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at Grandpa Qiao's bed.

"Abba, Abba, can you hear me?" Father Qiao held Grandpa Qiao's somewhat cold hand and shouted in a low voice.

Grandpa Qiao opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes first glanced at Qiao's father, and then at Qiao Wugu, "Second child, I know that you have a future, and your brothers and sisters will take care of it more in the future." ”

"There is no reason for our family to twist into a rope, and there is no reason to make people laugh. Second, promise me that I will pull out more of your brothers and sisters in the future. ”

The old man didn't know where the strength came from, so he grabbed Qiao's father's hand tightly.

Father Qiao nodded silently, "Abba, I promise you, if they have the ability, I will pull them out." ”

Grandpa Qiao looked at Father Qiao and nodded, but he couldn't quite hear his answer clearly.

He looked at Fifth Aunt Qiao again, "Lilan, don't be afraid, Abba has arranged it for you, and I will find your second brother if I have something in the future." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine. Fifth Aunt Qiao held the old man's hand and spoke with him.

Father Qiao stepped aside, watched the old man talk to Aunt Qiao and talked again, and when Grandpa Qiao was tired and fell asleep again, the group withdrew from the room and sat in the hall next door.

The atmosphere is very dull, everyone knows that there will be this day, but when it is really faced, it is very uncomfortable.

Qiao Sigu pulled Qiao's mother, her eyes were red, and the two said a word from time to time.

The twins were also not in high spirits, squatting in the corner and drooping their heads.

Thinking about it, their Lu family has sent away the old man, the old lady and others over the years, and they have experienced more than their Qiao family.

Qiao's mother and Qiao Jiayue saw that Deng Ying had come back with Qiao's father's car, so they hurriedly took him home, got him some simple food, and arranged the next room.

Deng Ying is actually quite familiar with Qiao Jiayue's family, so he asked Qiao's mother to do it and leave him alone.

Qiao's mother thought that it was true, so she explained that Deng Ying and Qiao Jiayue would entertain Deng Ying when they had time.

At night, a bleak sound came from Grandpa Qiao's house, and the originally somewhat drowsy person woke up instantly and ran to Grandpa Qiao's room.

Qiao Jiayue was woken up by Qiao's mother and informed the news of Grandpa Qiao's death, she and Qiao Hongzhi changed their clothes in silence and went to Uncle Qiao's house to guard.

Deng Ying knew his current identity, so he couldn't go with him, so he could only stay in the house.

According to local customs, although Deng Ying and Qiao Jiayue have not yet gotten married, the weddings and funerals of the two families are actually about to start moving.

There are people who want to follow the red and white things, and there will be special people to register, and it is generally the most virtuous old man in the clan to do this.

Deng Ying followed a share in the name of Deng Xianchang, and then he only needed to go to the funeral on the day of the funeral.

In the past few years, some customs of white things have been restored, but everyone has not been able to make it more solemn.

After the burial, burn down the family's paper-paste house, and then invite the person who helped the funeral to eat, and the funeral is almost over.

The juniors can go home first, but the elders have to stay behind to deal with the follow-up.
