"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. ”

Time is a double-edged sword, which not only promotes the prosperity of life, but also causes life to grow old and decay. The years are also silent, it makes people grow up unconsciously, and it also makes people die in helplessness, and it doesn't say a word.

When Xiaolong went to work in the afternoon, his father called him and told him that his grandmother was seriously ill and asked him and Xiaoqing to come home early. Xiaolong immediately asked for leave, and after getting off work, he took a detour to the train station to buy a train ticket before going home.

"Why are you late today?"

"I went to the train station and bought a train ticket home. ”

"What do you do back home?"

"Grandma is seriously ill. Dad told me to hurry back. By the way, you haven't cooked dinner yet, have you?"

"No, I don't. No, I'm waiting for you. ”

"Don't be mine. I'll be gone in a moment. ”

"In such a hurry?"

"I heard from my father, grandma has been in the past few days. If I'm going back late, I'm afraid I won't even see my grandmother for the last time. In the end, Xiaolong was crying like a complaint.

"Don't be too upset. Grandma has always been in good health, so she must be able to get through this. ”

"I hope so. ”

Xiaolong went into the house to pack his luggage. Tian Tian didn't go to cook, but followed into the house.

"Otherwise, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. It just so happens that I'm taking a leave of absence, so let's go back together. ”

"You can work in peace. Just let me and Xiaoqing go back. ”

"If you go back now, it's late at night when you go to Linhe, and there is no long-distance bus to go home, and it's not easy to get a taxi to the hospital. Did you say yes?"

"Yes. But ......"

"Don't. If you go back at night, can I rest assured? Besides, if you are not by my side, how can I still work in peace? Just listen to me, let's leave early tomorrow morning, okay?" Tian Tian took Xiaolong's hand.

"Well, I'll listen to you. Xiaolong also felt that his plan to return to the Ba League in the evening was too hasty. Xiaolong also grabbed Tian Tian's hand. Xiaolong is sincerely happy to have such a caring person for him and to face the sudden changes in his family with him.

"Then you hurry up and tell Xiaoqing, just say that we will go back early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay. I went to the train station again and refunded the train ticket. ”

"Go ahead. I'll cook for you. ”

When Xiaolong, Tian Tian and Xiaoqing arrived at the hospital, Xiaolong's parents and aunt were taking care of his grandmother. Xiaolong's aunt was waiting for his grandmother to drink eight-treasure porridge, and the bowl full of eight-treasure porridge was only half a bowl left.

Xiaolong's grandmother was quite sane and recognized Xiaolong as she saw him. The old man was also very happy to see his grandson come back to see her.

"Is it Xiaolong? Xiaolong has come back to see grandma?"

"It's me, Grandma. The little dragon said as he took his grandmother's bony and weak hand.

"Mother, you haven't finished your porridge yet. Xiaolong's grandmother patronized and talked to Xiaolong, ignoring the fragrant eight-treasure porridge that Xiaolong's aunt handed to her.

"I don't drink anymore. I'm full. ”

"As soon as our mother saw her eldest grandson, she would be full even if she didn't eat. Xiaolong's aunt said to his parents with a smile after putting down her rice bowl.

Aunt Xiaolong's laughter made the heavy atmosphere that had been locked up in the ward for a long time suddenly become cheerful. Everyone lost the sadness of their loved ones who were seriously ill for a while, and only the joy of being together with their loved ones.

"Grandma. Xiaoqing walked to the other side of the bed.

"It's Xiaoqing, my granddaughter. ”

"Grandma. Tian Tian also followed Xiaoqing and walked over.

"It's my granddaughter-in-law. Okay, okay, you're all back. When you come back, Grandma is happy in her heart. ”

"Mom, Dad, you and your aunt should go back. Just a few of us will take care of it. Xiaolong said to his elders.

"This ......"

"Go back, all of you. After a night of vigil, it's time to take a good rest. Xiaolong's grandmother also spoke.

Xiaolong's parents and aunt both left the hospital. There are only two generations left in the ward. Xiaolong: They take turns telling their grandmother about their work and life in the city. The old man listened with relish. The old man also rejoiced that when he was dying, there were still grandchildren, granddaughters, and granddaughters-in-law gathered around the bed, enjoying the joy of family.

Xiaolong's grandmother has always been an optimist and never complains. "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself", this is probably the secret of the longevity of all long-lived people. Three days later, the old man died suddenly in the hospital.

She is eighty and three years old, and she can be regarded as a long-lived person. There is a saying among the Chinese people, seventy-four, eighty-three, the king of Hades does not call himself to go. In this way, Xiaolong's grandmother also died. In the last three days before the old man's death, the old man had no sorrow, and she still had her usual smile, a kind smile, on her face when she died.

Next, the whole family was busy with the funeral of Xiaolong's grandmother. Xiaolong's family and relatives all froze, and when the coffin was closed, they were crying and grieving. Hundreds of miles of different winds, thousands of miles of different customs. Although the burial methods and funeral rites are different in different regions, people have the same mood to remember their ancestors.

After the funeral, the weak Tian Tian was exhausted like a soldier who had come out of a protracted battle. For several days, she stayed in the mourning hall. In the dead of night, she was not afraid of the gloomy atmosphere in the mourning hall, but only the spicy smell of liquor.

Like Tian Tian, some people's fears are really strange, for example, they are not afraid of the summer heat, but they are afraid of the summer thunder. However, Tian Tian couldn't abandon this funeral and go home to enjoy Qingfu. If she wants to be filial, she has to endure the choking smell.

During the funeral, the meals were all made by hired people, and everyone ate in a big pot. She couldn't swallow the big pot of rice, and often put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few bites. So in a few days, she also lost a lot of weight.

The death of their grandmother made Xiaolong and Tian Tian deeply moved, and they also had a new understanding of life and death: life is short and changeable, there are those who die young, those who die young, and those who die in the prime of life, and those who die often only experience three generations of grandchildren.
