Chapter 367 Epilogue

also can't let go of his children.

Although over the years, Zhang Chen has watched them step by step out of their own paths, and they have all achieved good results in their respective fields, but he stubbornly believes that if he is not watching, maybe these children will miss something one day.

Thinking too much about it like this, does it also indirectly prove that he is really old?

However, this also made Zhang Chen further understand the old saying, raising children knows the kindness of their parents.

When the children were young, he only felt that raising them was really tiring, even if it was not difficult to provide them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, it took a lot of energy.

However, watching the little babies with their own blood flowing in their bodies, growing up little by little, this sense of accomplishment is not comparable to the sense of accomplishment that you have funded to raise another unrelated baby.

For such reasons, he also has more tolerance for his family, and he has a lot less resentment for Sun Zhou's bias towards Zhang Nianjun at the beginning.

So after Sun Yang and Zhang Nianjun died one after another, knowing that Sun Zhou's situation was a little bad, Zhang Chen secretly helped him.

For his mother Ni Junyao, Zhang Chen's feelings have always been very delicate, he has always remembered the harmony between him and Zhang Nianjun at the beginning, and he was very disgusted with her doing so, so over the years, his relationship with his mother has not been very close.

Even when several children got married one after another, Ni Junyao took out all his savings and handed them over to the children, but he was not completely accepted by Zhang Chen.

But in the year when Ni Junyao was about to die, she suddenly collapsed because of illness, and Zhang Chen suddenly realized that for his mother, he had always longed for more than complained.

It is precisely because of her extreme yearning that she will be critical of her performance, even if she has a little wavering between herself and Zhang Nianjun, Zhang Chen will have a great reaction.

Because of this, Zhang Chen and his mother missed so many years.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. Zhang Chen has heard this sentence many times in modern times, but it is also at this moment that he really understands how much regret the person who said this sentence in his heart.

Zhang Chen was lucky, when he realized this, Ni Junyao was still alive, and he could still show her what he really thought in his heart, so that she would not leave with regrets.

waited for her for a year without clothes, until he watched her clap her hands and pass away with a peaceful smile, Zhang Chen's tears slowly flowed.

These tears are not only the memory of his mother who just lost, but also the joy that he was able to wake up in time.

Seeing this, Lexi stepped forward silently and put his warm hand on her husband's shoulder, wanting to give him his own support.

Touching his daughter-in-law's hand that was no longer tender, Zhang Chen's heart returned to calm, he had done what he could, leaving no regrets, this should be enough. I can no longer infect my bad emotions to the family members around me who care about me, which should also be what my mother does not want to see.

……

Zhang Chen slept very unsteadily during this time.

A few days ago, Lexi had to let herself take her to the garden to see the first snow of the year, and accidentally fell to the ground and broke her pelvic bone.

Zhang Chen was standing next to him at that time, and when he saw Lexi falling, he wanted to reach out and hold her, but he ignored his own age.

And because they wanted to be alone and didn't want to be watched by a group of maids and servants, they ordered everyone to guard the gate of the courtyard, and even if someone saw it, they couldn't hold it in time.

At that time, Lexi fainted in pain, Zhang Chen was remorseful and distressed, and he also broke out in a cold sweat.

However, Lang Zhong's diagnosis was not satisfactory. Lexi himself is a healer, and of course he has a plan in his heart, but he doesn't accept it too much.

Originally, according to Zhang Chen's plan, he wanted to wait for Lexi's daily life by himself, and he didn't want to fake his hands to others, husband and wife, aren't they just young couples and old companions, and when the other party is in need, someone can take care of them?

But the children firmly disagreed.

Zhang Chen is over 70 years old, although his body is still quite strong, but what if he is asked to take care of his old wife, who is also old, sleeplessly, and is tired?

There are a lot of maids and servants in the family, which one is not better than him?

Zhang Chen couldn't, so he could only agree. But he was never at ease with letting others wait, so he asked the children to arrange Lexi in the original room of the two people.

There was a patient in the house, and Zhang Chen naturally couldn't sleep on the same bed with Lexi anymore, but he didn't want to leave, so he set up a small bed next to the big bed, and he slept there at night.

When you are older, you don't feel much, and you will wake up when there is a little movement, and Zhang Chen is the same. Especially when he was still worried about Lexi in his heart, he would get up every once in a while to see if she woke up in pain.

In just half a month, he lost a lot of weight, which made several children feel very distressed. But they didn't dare to stop their father from looking at their mother, because if they did, they would be so angry that they would jump to their feet.

Another point is that the mother's condition seems to be more serious, which also worries them.

She's skinny and skinny.

Because painkillers in this era did not have much effect, she was often tormented by pain and couldn't sleep. She knew that Zhang Chen was worried about her, but she didn't want him to have a bad rest, so she could only desperately endure it and not say it.

Because of the severe pain, she didn't have any craving to eat at all, except for drinking medicine every day, she barely ate a few mouthfuls of porridge to maintain nutrition.

Although the filial children put a lot of effort into the porridge, and the supplements were put into it as if they didn't need money, but because the amount of food was too small, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were struggling to catch their breath.

Finally, after she forced herself to drink half a bowl of porridge again, Lexi spit them out after a while.

Because she had vomited everything she had drunk before, there was nothing left in her stomach. After cleaning up, Zhang Chen coaxed her to take a few sips.

That is, just after drinking, Lexi vomited again, which really frightened Zhang Chen.

He hurriedly asked people to call Lang Zhong, who lived in the next room, and wanted him to come over to see what was going on, but before Lang Zhong could put on his clothes and come over, Lexi showed symptoms of shortness of breath.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen, who had served several old people, realized that his wife had reached the end of her life, and the strength in his body seemed to be suddenly taken away.

He staggered to the door, and instructed his eldest son, who had received the news, to "Go to the cupboard in my study, and bring me your mother's clothes, and I will put them on for her myself." ”
