Chapter 261: This is probably called family affection
It was seven o'clock in the evening, and Rococo was waiting at the airport for the plane at seven and five o'clock.
Originally, there were still two days to go before the World Internet Conference, but now Rococo had to go home immediately.
In fact, Rococo should have known a long time ago that her father would not call her for no reason.
Because of this family, she knows it all too well.
In the past seven years from high school to college, the only person who often talked to Rococo on the phone was her mother.
And the content of each phone call is nothing more than whether the money is enough or not, or when it comes to Rococo's birthday, let Rococo add a meal and buy a small cake.
And just now, just an hour or two ago, her father called her, and he spoke in a heavy, unquestioning tone.
Then! Rococo should have started to realize that something must have happened that her dad would say that.
Her father had always been a very weak person, and it was absolutely impossible for him to suddenly become so persistent in one thing.
'Can you come back now?' ’
'Now!? But I'm out in a meeting. ’
'Can I take a leave of absence?' ’
In Rococo's own opinion, Rococo's father has always been very reasonable. Since Rococo has already said that she is in a meeting now, according to past experience, it must be a sentence of 'then you are busy', and she will definitely not insist on it again.
But this time, her father said, 'Can you take a leave of absence?'"
Moreover! Then he said, 'Your grandmother wants to see you.' ’
When Rococo heard this, Rococo had already begun to realize that something bad was about to happen.
Really!
When I rushed back home in the early morning of that night, there were already many people at home.
The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the younger aunt and the aunts, as well as the cousins and cousins.
As soon as Rococo returned, he heard the eldest aunt say, 'Come back, come back.' ’
And then......
Led by her aunt, Rococo saw her grandmother on a wooden board supported by a few benches in the hall of the old house.
At that time, her grandmother was already panting for breath due to lack of oxygen, and she was about to die.
The eldest aunt asked Rococo to call a few words of grandma, because according to the customs of people here, when relatives leave, there will be a lot of people who are concerned, often at this time, the big and small in the family, will come to see the last face, of course, it is estimated that it will not work now, because now Rococo's grandmother's eyes are difficult to see things clearly, but everyone still hopes that at least the old man can listen to the voice of his children and granddaughters.
'Coco is back to see you!' 'Auntie.
Seeing that the old man's hand could still move slightly, Rococo, who had never encountered such a scene, did not know the courage from not knowing where it came, stretched out his hand, shook it, and could only say that it was a very cold hand. And Rococo's action, it seems that even the eldest aunt didn't expect it. After all, there is another custom here, that is, children, it is better not to get too close to the dying person, just shout twice from a distance, so that the departing person can hear the meaning. What like Rococo!
But sure enough, Rococo is back, it's different. The old man before was still panting heavily, severely lacking oxygen, and the next moment, the panting sound not only became smaller, but the old man seemed to be able to reluctantly turn his head slightly, as if he wanted to see Rococo for the last time.
"Grandma!" Rococo called again. And half-squatted down, hoping that the old man could see more clearly.
Rococo could feel the power coming from the other party's hand, and then, the old man's lips finally moved, and when he finished, it seemed that all of a sudden, the power of his whole body was used up, and the residual energy in his body exploded in an instant.
The people next to him were all shocked and frightened by Rococo and the old man's movements. I wanted to tell Rococo not to get so close, but in the end I couldn't say it.
Passed away!
Yes, grandma died! And before Rococo, she didn't know at all, half a year ago, her grandmother said that she was not feeling well, she had been checked in the health center, and she had been on a drip a few times, but the old man just couldn't eat, and he could still drink some porridge, but in the end, he would vomit even when he drank porridge.
If you can't eat and have no nutrition, the old man will naturally end up getting sicker and sicker, and a vicious circle continues.
Fortunately, I came back at the last moment, and I mourned. The eldest aunt said to Rococo.
But rather, Rococo has no sorrow at all. Because Rococo has not yet been able to accept such a fact. Why all of a sudden, this is the case?
For the next two days, there didn't seem to be many rules here, and soon, Grandma was cremated and buried.
Listening to the family, half a year ago, my grandmother said that she was not feeling well, her feet were swollen and she couldn't walk with strength, and she fell down a few times, bruised her forehead, and couldn't eat.
The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the little aunt, and Rococo's parents all know about these, but only Rococo doesn't know.
Because the last time I went home - it must have been more than half a year. Because the last time I met her grandmother was during the Chinese New Year. But during the Chinese New Year, her grandmother looked fine.
Although Rococo has called the other party's grandmother, in the past seven years, there should never be a word that is really hearted. Even the grandmother she said to the old man at the end seemed to be just a formality.
Because, she never seemed to really fit into the family. However, when the old man has passed away, she finally begins to learn to reflect on this.
During this period, Liu Feiyan called to ask Rococo what the situation was, and Rococo replied that it was nothing.
Rococo's mother also asked Rococo, and the eldest aunt said that in the end, the old man said something to her.
Rococo shook her head, she didn't know either, because her lips just moved, and she couldn't hear the sound at all. Is it to hurry up and get a boyfriend? Probably not. How often do you go home to see? The old man is not this kind of person. And rather, this family is not the kind of person who can say that kind of sensational thing.
The only most likely ......
If Rococo was to guess - the old man probably said that she had apples in her room, and asked her to take a few back to school.
Because there is only this one scene, which Rococo remembers the most in his mind, and every time in the past, when the old man told her that the apples were delicious and asked her to bring some back, her answer was, 'No', 'No', because she thought a few apples were too heavy and troublesome.
"Is this what people know how to cherish after they die?"
From the room where my grandmother used to live, Rococo didn't find an apple, but when she saw the apples on the table that her aunt had brought, while eating the apples, Rococo was even more convinced that what her grandmother said was 100% about apples.
Next, Rococo took a month's off work and stayed at home every day.
In the morning, she accompanied her grandfather to the river to fish, and in the evening, she persuaded her parents not to go outside to work, and if they had time, they would go to the village committee to dance the square dance, and go for a walk after eating. In addition, Liu Feiyan transferred 20 million from the company's account, deposited 10 million into her parents' passbook, and went online to help her grandfather buy a complete set of fishing tools.
"Where did you get the money!?" But Mom and Dad looked at the 10 million.
"I didn't want you to know yet, I originally wanted to wait until I thought the time was ripe before I told you, but I don't know when the time is ripe, and I'm afraid that I may not be able to wait for that day, and even if I do, it will be meaningless." Rococo.
For her grandmother's death, to be honest, Rococo really didn't mourn at all, at most she just felt a little blocked in her heart, but she should never forget the scene when she went back to school every weekend and her grandmother asked her to bring the apple every time, because every time she remembered that scene, she would feel that her heart was very warm.
This is probably called family affection? It's not just the old people themselves who think it's okay, but even Rococo thinks it's okay to have. (To be continued.) )
