329 Farewell
Folk rumors say that seven live and eight do not live.
Grandma Chen's belly child lasted for eight months, and even if it was born at this time, it could almost be counted as full-term, and there was no need to worry about not surviving for eight months.
Grandma Chen smiled heartily.
The maidservant carefully served her to wash and brought bird's nest porridge.
Grandma Chen suddenly smelled the fragrance of bird's nest porridge, which surprised her and made her smile even happier.
She lost her sense of taste at an early age and could no longer sing bittersweet. It's also good for her, at least what she tries to eat, she won't vomit out because of pantothenic acid, and the bitter medicine won't feel bitter. Then, she lost her sense of smell again, and could no longer smell the faint fruity scent of the room.
But at this moment, the sweet smell of food that she had smelled for a long time opened her appetite.
She really wanted to eat.
It had been a long time since she had wanted to eat. It's just that she has to eat.
"Baby, do you want to tell your mother that you want to eat?" Grandma Chen looked gentle, took a spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and put it in her mouth. The sweet feeling of smelling for a long time made her feel great happiness, and with excitement, she slowly used up a bowl of porridge.
The weather is so nice today.
Sunny.
Mrs. Chen asked people to help herself to the couch outside, bathed in the sun, smelling the flowers and green leaves in the air and even the fragrance of the sun, a little intoxicated.
"Where's the uncle?" Grandma Chen said.
"Yesterday, the uncle held a banquet and drank with the guests of the second master, as if he drank more. I came back a little late and rested in the side room. Just now, the maid went over to take a look, and the uncle had already gotten up and was bathing. I think I should be afraid that the smell of alcohol on my body will collide with you and the little master. The maid spoke.
Grandma Chen laughed happily.
She didn't wait long before she saw Chen Houyun come out of the side room and approach her.
"Why are you up so early today?" Chen Houyun smiled: "It looks like he is in good spirits." He sat down on a chair beside Grandma Chen, and according to his recent habits, he was ready to talk to Grandma Chen for a while.
He had already explained the situation to the head of the Hanlin Academy, and postponed the daily visit to the yamen a little later. The head of the academy admired his talent and character, and saw that the work assigned to him was never delayed. acquiesced in his tardiness. And his colleagues looked at him. All with some sighs and compassion.
"Husband, please take a leave of absence today." Grandma Chen touched her stomach and said softly, "I can feel it, it's today." ”
The relaxed look on Chen Houyun's face was gone. He looked at Grandma Chen heavily.
"It should be in the afternoon." She tilted her head. said to Chen Houyun: "The concubine wants her husband to accompany me for half a day at the end." It was noon. My husband went to invite my mother...... I have something to tell her, too. ”
Chen Houyun didn't disbelieve Grandma Chen's words.
It was precisely because he believed that he couldn't bear the current scene. Although he had expected this to happen. But when the time comes, no matter how much preparation is required. It's just preparation!
"Husband, I don't want to see you like this. Be relaxed, I want to watch you smile all the time,......" Grandma Chen said softly: "Don't alarm your mother for the time being, and make them uncomfortable." In the last half day, I want to be quietly with my husband, our family of three together, and talk quietly for a while. It's good to sit so quietly without talking. ”
Chen Houyun felt that something was blocking his throat.
He shook Grandma Chen's hand.
The hand, which had been thinned and had only some skin left, had cyan tendons on it, and it looked a little terrifying. But Chen Houyun held it so gently, as if he was holding the moving soft twing.
He smiled slowly and opened his mouth gently.
The sun jumped gently over the treetops. Grandma Chen fell into a deep sleep again. Chen Houyun didn't move, still holding her hand quietly. When she woke up, they had a meal, and Grandma Chen's cheeks were strangely bloody, but in Chen Houyun's eyes, it was suddenly heartbroken.
"Husband, go and invite your mother. And my mom and dad, please let them come. She said softly, "I have to say goodbye." Well, by the way, and Sister A-Ning, I also want to thank her again. ”
Chen Houyun shook her hand, smiled, and nodded.
Soon, Mrs. Chen was the first to rush over, and when she saw the couple sitting under the porch, some tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she approached quickly, and said to Grandma Chen, "Good boy...... no other words."
"Mother." Grandma Chen said: "You treat Xiang'er too well, it's because Xiang'er lacks some blessings that she can't always honor you, you must not blame Xiang'er." If there is an afterlife, Xiang'er must be your daughter, then it must be very happy......"
"Good boy, don't talk about it......" Mrs. Chen wanted to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't wipe them clean.
"Mother." Grandma Chen kept smiling and said softly: "Xiang'er is gone, you have to make decisions for your husband and let him marry another confidant as soon as possible." As for Xiao Bao'er, Xiang'er wants to ask your mother to bother and raise him personally...... Mother, you have raised a hero like Tianjiao like your husband and a hero like your second uncle, I believe that Xiao Bao'er will be able to become a talent in the future, and I will always honor you for Xiang'er......"
She's leaving.
She will not stop Chen Houyun from marrying again. Because she was reluctant to see him alone.
But as a mother, she always has to plan for her children. No matter who Chen Houyun marries, she can rest assured that the child will be handed over to Mrs. Chen.
"Good boy, my mother promised you to personally raise her grandson and protect him as an adult. What should be his must be his, and no one can bully him. Mrs. Chen made a cautious promise.
"Don't worry." Chen Houyun whispered to Grandma Chen.
"If my mother and husband are in your words, Xiang'er can rest assured." Grandma Chen's smile was fragile but gratifying.
Shen Rouning walked in from the outside, holding a note in her hand. She approached Grandma Chen, tried to keep her smile, showed the note to Grandma Chen, and said, "Grandfather gave Xiao Bao'er a name. Both boys and girls are called Chen Chengfang...... It's a good name to be a gentleman. ”
"Chengfang, Chengfang......" Grandma Chen shouted softly a few times and laughed.
Mrs. Chen touched her tears, stepped aside, and began to tell her subordinates to get ready. She can't just be sad and uncomfortable at this time, she needs to have a lot to do.
"Ah Ning." Grandma Chen looked at Shen Rouning and said, "Thank you for accompanying me for half a year." Thank you for those paintings, so that Xiao Chengfang can see her biological mother in the future. Thank you. ”
Shen Rouning shook her head: "My cousin-in-law has thanked me many times. No matter how polite it is, Ah Ning will be unhappy in her heart. ”
Grandma Chen also smiled. She held Shen Rouning's hand, looked at her delicate face, and there was a touch of envy in her eyes, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't say it: "Okay, just don't say it." (To be continued.) )
