When Ruan Duo woke up, it was already evening, and he didn't expect to sleep for so long. The sound of Qin Hao and Xu Hui talking vaguely came from the kitchen downstairs, it should be cooking. After washing his face in the bathroom, Ruan Duo became a little more conscious, and simply took a shower before going downstairs.

After going downstairs, after a simple meal, Ruan Duo went to Grandma Ruan to replace Ruan Siyao and Ruan Siyu.

Ruan Siyao and Ruan Siyu stayed with Grandma Ruan for an afternoon, plus the hospitalization of Grandma in the past two days, no one could sleep well. After a few days in a row, I was already exhausted, and after eating, I went upstairs to sleep.

slept until midnight, Ruan Siyao was woken up by Ruan Siyu, "Yaoyao, get up quickly, grandma is awake!" ”

Ruan Siyao sat up from the bed in shock: "What! ”

"Hurry up and get downstairs." Ruan Siyu didn't give Ruan Siyao time to think at all, and directly pulled the person downstairs.

Originally, Ruan Duo and Qin Zhen were accompanying Grandma Ruan in the house, but at twelve o'clock, Qin Zhen was too sleepy, so Ruan Duo asked her to go upstairs to sleep and guard it alone. Who would have thought that not long after Qin Zhen went upstairs, Grandma Ruan woke up, but she couldn't speak clearly.

Ruan Duo went to the living room to pour a glass of water and came back, and saw Grandma Ruan with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and rushed in excitedly: "Mom! ”

Grandma Ruan on the bed snorted twice in response.

Ruan Duo couldn't care about this, put down the water glass in his hand, and cautiously approached Grandma Ruan, "Mom, you can be regarded as awake." ”

"Uh-huh." Grandma Ruan struggled to say something, but Ruan Duo didn't hear a word, so she could only comfort: "Mom, you wait, I'll call the eldest brother up." ”

Without waiting for Grandma Ruan to answer, Ruan Duo ran away, went upstairs in one breath, and knocked on Ruan Cheng's door: "Big brother, Mom is awake!" ”

Ruan Cheng slept lightly, as soon as Ruan Duo knocked on the door, he woke up, and when he heard that Grandma Ruan was awake, he quickly put on his coat and opened the door and went out. Xu Hui on the bed also woke up and went downstairs with a coat on.

After a while, the whole family gathered in front of Grandma Ruan's bed. Grandma Ruan rolled her eyes and didn't see her daughter, "Uh-uh-uh." ”

Who can hear what Grandma Ruan said, the family stared at each other, and could only be anxious.

Ruan Siyao leaned into Grandma Ruan's mouth, trying to identify what Grandma Ruan was talking about. After listening to it for a while, I vaguely recognized the pronunciation of ling, and I thought that I knew that I was asking Ruan Ling.

"Grandma, aunt, she couldn't get a ticket, she may have to come back later." didn't want to make her grandmother sad, Ruan Siyao could only speak for Ruan Ling with a clear conscience.

Grandma Ruan closed her eyes, as if she was very unhappy, and after a while, she said vaguely: "Cabinet, cabinet, cabinet......" Grandma Ruan's eyes turned to the wardrobe by the window, and her mouth kept repeating the words of the cabinet.

"Grandma, do you mean the wardrobe? Do you want to change your clothes? Ruan Siyao asked, pointing to the cabinet.

Grandma Ruan shook her head and held it for a long time before she squeezed out one word: "Open." ”

"You're opening the cabinet?" Ruan Siyao pondered what grandma meant and guessed.

"Woo." Receiving a response, Ruan Siyao went to open the cabinet, and in addition to grandma's clothes, there was only an old wooden box the size of a tablet, locked. Ruan Siyao didn't know what he should do, staring at the things in the cabinet, "Grandma, what do you want to take?" ”

Grandma Ruan struggled for a long time and couldn't speak, Ruan Siyu guessed: "It should be that box." ”

Ruan Siyao heard this, and took the small box to Grandma Ruan's bedside, "Grandma, do you want this?" ”

Grandma Ruan blinked, and motioned for Ruan Siyao to open the box with her eyes. The box was locked, where could Ruan Siyao open it, "Grandma, where did you put the key?" ”

Grandma Ruan couldn't speak now, so she could only be in a hurry, Ruan Cheng directly took the box over, found a hammer over, and smashed the lock.

The box was smashed open, revealing the contents of a passbook, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold earrings and a stack of not thin yuan.

Grandma Ruan's intention to take the box out is obvious, that is, to divide the inheritance. Ruan Cheng put down the box, "Mom, what are you going to do with these, let's rest early, and we will take you to the hospital for a review tomorrow." ”

Grandma Ruan shook her head, her mouth kept making a "whine" sound, she knew what kind of situation she was in now, if she didn't take out her things now, she probably wouldn't have the opportunity to divide things in front of the children. "Take, uh, take."

Ruan Cheng clenched his fists, he knew that it was time to return to the light, but he still stubbornly wanted to whitewash all this as he expected in his heart.

Xu Hui stood behind Ruan Cheng and gently patted Ruan Cheng's back as a comforter.

Ruan Duo didn't know what his eldest brother thought, but it was already this time, so he should follow his mother's idea. "Big brother, take out the things, don't let Mom worry."

Ruan Cheng was silent, and finally took out the contents of the box. At the bottom of the box is a piece of paper folded in half, torn from the most ordinary, Tianzi notebook used by elementary school students, on which is the inheritance distribution written by Grandma Ruan.

Grandma Ruan's family was poor when she was a child, she didn't read for a few years, and she didn't know a few words at all, so what was written on the paper was Ruan Da, Ruan Er, and Ruan San, the bracelet was a big circle drawn, and the earrings were a small circle. The paper is clearly a little yellowed, and at a glance you know that it was written a long time ago, and that's it, everyone is even more sad to see.

"Mom, why do you bother, the money you have been saved over the years, we can make money, what are you doing so cheaply, do we still lack your money?" Ruan Duo looked at the passbook, covered his face and knelt in front of the bed, crying silently.

Qin Zhen also saw that her heart was hot, the old lady had saved so much money, all of which she had saved over the years, and she didn't spend much money on her seriousness, and now she kept it for her children.

"Points, points, points......" Grandma Ruan stared at things and squeezed out the words.

According to Grandma Ruan's arrangement, the money on the passbook Ruan Duo and Ruan Cheng were half each, the gold bracelets Ruan Siyu and Ruan Siyao were one each, and the remaining scattered money and gold earrings were left for Ruan Ling.

After the things were divided, the light in Grandma Ruan's eyes suddenly dissipated, and seeing that it was too much to return to the light, Ruan Duo panicked, "Mom, Ruan Ling hasn't come back yet, you wait for her, don't leave like this." ”

"Mom, hold on!" Ruan Cheng was also panicked.

And Grandma Ruan didn't respond at all, she stopped breathing, and her originally undulating chest was no longer moving, only a pair of eyes widened.

"Mom!" The boy didn't flick when he had tears, but before he reached the sad place, Ruan Cheng and Ruan Duo cried heartbreakingly.

Ruan Siyao also cried breathlessly, and was held in Qin Zhen's arms, and Xu Hui and Ruan Siyu's mother and daughter also cried together.

It was already past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Grandma Ruan died on the day of the Lantern Festival, and the future Lantern Festival of the Ruan family was destined to be unhappy.

The sound of firecrackers sounded outside the window, and the cries in the room drowned out the hustle and bustle outside, covering up the excitement that originally belonged to the Lantern Festival.

After crying, Ruan Cheng, as the eldest brother, should take care of everything, "Third brother, you go to the crematorium and buy a coffin shroud." Siyu and Yaoyao cleaned up the living room, Xu Hui, you and the third family's mother took a bath, so that the mother could leave cleanly. I'll go and inform the village elders, hurry up, don't delay the time. ”

There are rules in the village in terms of funerals, to hold banquets, arrange mourning halls, and invite monks to chant scriptures, the rules are all set before, and now the village still does it according to the past.

Everyone took action, and although their hearts were sad, they still had to do what they should do. Especially at this point in time, almost everyone is asleep, and it is really not easy to get things done.

Fortunately, the old people in the village all go to bed early and get up early, and at five o'clock, a group of old people from the village came to the Ruan family, most of whom were related to each other.

Ruan Jicheng, the most senior in the village, sat in the Ruan family and helped Ruan Cheng deal with the funeral, which made the burden on the Ruan family brothers a lot lighter. In addition, the Ruan family has always gotten along well with the people in the village, and everyone is willing to help, and soon the mourning hall was set up at home.

Some people in the village asked Ruan Ling, after all, her own mother died, why Ruan Ling has not seen anyone until now, and when asked this question, the faces of the Ruan brothers were not good.

Just looking at the faces of the two brothers, people with a little brightness could think of what Ruan Ling had done again, and they were all talking about it behind their backs.

Ruan Ling called Ruan Duo again, and Ruan Duo answered the phone this time.

As soon as the phone was connected, Ruan Ling split her head and covered her face to blame: "Third child, what do you mean by this?" Obviously, before the Chinese New Year, I said that I would let Fang Min work in your law firm when this holiday is over, and now I regret it, you have done this unfortunate thing yourself, and let Ruan Siyao call me with a little girl, is it too much? ”

"When are you going to buy a ticket to come back?" Ruan Duo did not answer Ruan Ling's question, and avoided the crowd with a cold face and went to the second floor to make a call.

"Don't worry, I've already bought a ticket to come back. We have to make this matter clear, and I can't suffer this loss in vain. You wait for me at home, I'll be at the station at noon, and I'll call you when the time comes, and you come and pick me up. "Ruan Ling is still the same commanding spirit.

"Okay, I'll pick you up then." Ruan Duo snorted coldly, "Ruan Ling, is it that if you don't call you and talk to you about work, you won't come back?" ”

"How is that possible? Mom is hospitalized now, how could I not want to go back to see it, I just didn't buy a ticket. Ruan Ling quibbled.

"Then why haven't you been able to buy a ticket before, and you got a ticket after answering a call from Yaoyao?" Ruan Duo almost laughed, "You make up nonsense like a little bit, don't say this kind of nonsense, okay?" Don't you feel ashamed when you say this? ”

"Why should I be ashamed, everything I say is the truth. Also, I'm your sister, how can you call my name directly at me, it's a bit too much. ”

"Okay, I don't want to say anything more to you, just call me directly when you get to the station." Ruan Duo didn't wait for Ruan Ling to speak, and hung up the phone directly.

"Phew, what a stinky shelf, I really think of myself as a character. Mom is not hospitalized, and she has said this three hundred times, and she is not too tired to panic. Ruan Ling was angry and scolded viciously twice. What she didn't know was what kind of situation she would face when she returned home, otherwise she would never have talked to Ruan Duo like this.
