After the engagement banquet in Sucheng, Qin Lanzhou and Song Jinyu stayed for two days, and after visiting the elders of the Song family, they set off to return to Yancheng.

Just as they were about to drive into the territory of Yancheng, Qin Lanzhou received a call from Situ Mo, and on the other end of the phone, Situ Mo's voice was deep and hoarse:

"I'll tell you the unfortunate news that Uncle Tao passed away just half an hour ago, and the doctors tried their best, but they couldn't save him."

Situ Mo's voice was like this, obviously he had just cried, and with his voice, Qin Lanzhou heard Tao Yuan's sobbing whimper coming from the other end of the phone.

The sun outside the window was still clear, and the blue sky and white clouds still looked as usual, but Qin Lanzhou suddenly felt a chill, shivered all over, and his right eyelid jumped uneasily.

"Brother, you can calm the emotions of your sister-in-law and aunt, Jin Yu and I have arrived in Yancheng, so let's rush to the hospital."

Qin Lanzhou's hand holding the mobile phone was trembling constantly, and she pretended to be calm and said to the phone.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, you can inform me, I still have a lot of things to deal with here."

Situ Mo also pretended to be calm, but in fact, his mood was already extremely sad.

Since he and Tao Yuan got back together, the smile on Tao Guoqiang's face has become brighter and brighter, and the amount of food he has eaten has become more and more, everyone thought that this was a sign that he was about to get better, and during this time, the Tao family was bathed in a joyful atmosphere.

At the engagement banquet set up by Situ Mo and Tao Yuan at the Tao family, Tao Guoqiang not only appeared, but also said on the spot that no matter what, he must take good care of his body, wait for his grandson to be born, and bring children to them when the time comes, so that the two of them can go to work without worries.

Situ Mo and Tao Yuan once thought that it was their reunion that moved the heavens, so Tao Guoqiang's body became stronger day by day.

Unexpectedly, the bad news came so suddenly, on the night after they returned to Yancheng after holding an engagement banquet in Anhe Town, Tao Guoqiang suddenly coughed up black blood in the middle of the night and was rushed to the hospital.

From the sudden illness to the death now, it was only three days......

In the past three days, he accompanied Tao Yuan to sleep and take care of him day and night, because Tao Guoqiang's condition suddenly deteriorated, and Tao Yuan's mother fainted several times because of low blood sugar.

In just three days, from extreme joy to extreme sorrow, the birth, old age, sickness and death of life, the ups and downs, and the drastic changes in mentality, Situ Mo and Tao Yuan have both experienced it.

The moment he finished calling Qin Lanzhou, Situ Mo seemed to be in prostration, cold sweat broke out all over his body, he sat paralyzed in the white corridor of the hospital, his long legs hanging down without being placed, Tao Yuan lay on his knees, crying bitterly again and again, listening to his heart, he was heartbroken, and his heart was extremely distressed.

This is the first time in their lives that they are now facing life and death up close, and they have to face the loss of their immediate relatives.

Seeing that Tao Yuan had cried to the point of collapse, and Tao Yuan's mother was receiving an infusion, Situ Mo began to deal with everything after being silent for a while.

When Qin Lanzhou and Song Jinyu rushed to the hospital, the relatives of the Tao family also rushed over.

Qin Lanzhou immediately helped to calm Tao Yuan and her mother's emotions, and Song Jinyu immediately helped Situ Mo start to take care of the aftermath, and these relatives, who had just attended their engagement banquet, suddenly had to attend Tao Guoqiang's funeral.

In the week of cooking all the good things, the hearts of the four of them were like a heavy stone, and everyone was out of breath.

Tao Yuan was pregnant with Liujia, and cried several times with a big belly until she fainted, and the fetus had a lack of oxygen in the womb several times, but fortunately, she had a thrilling time in the end.

Time was chaotic, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Tao Yuan's mother was always immersed in the grief of being widowed, and was picked up by Tao Yuan's aunt to temporarily accompany her through this most difficult time.

Tao Yuan was pregnant with Liujia, and she had been pregnant for more than five months in a blink of an eye, and her mood was always depressed, so Qin Lanzhou took her to the Molan Workshop, and she and Situ Mo took turns to take care of her.

When the dust finally settled, the four of them finally had a chance to sit down for dinner on the weekend.

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it's another summer.

The leaves of the sycamore tree in the courtyard of the Molan Workshop were already lush, and Qin Lanzhou specially placed a soft chair under the sycamore tree, so that Tao Yuan could lie under the tree and enjoy the shade.

Situ Mo and Song Jinyu bought some light dishes, the two big men were busy with dinner in the kitchen, Qin Lanzhou moved a small horse to sit next to Tao Yuan, and pinched Tao Yuan's already swollen legs.

"Don't they all say that good people will be rewarded? I thought that if we got engaged, my dad's illness would be cured, but I didn't expect ......"

Tao Yuan repeated these words day after day, and she could not ease her nerves from the grief of losing her father.

"The deceased is gone, sister-in-law, you have to think about it, no matter what, my uncle is very peaceful when he leaves, and he doesn't have to feel the torture of illness anymore, which is also a good thing for him."

Qin Lanzhou comforted softly, she didn't say these words more than once, but in order to let Tao Yuan come out of her grief as soon as possible, she still took the trouble to say.

"During this time, it's really hard Brother Mo, without him, I don't know how my mother and I would survive."

Tao Yuan said as she spoke, her eyes flushed again.

"That's what my brother is willing, and that's what he should do, since you know that my brother is good to you, then you should adjust your mood, and keep being depressed not only to worry him, but also to the baby in the belly. What my uncle hoped for most before his death was that you could give birth to a healthy baby, didn't he? ”

Qin Lanzhou persuaded again, she has always been afraid of the heavens and the earth, and there is a rare gentleness in her tone.

Now, she has completely regarded Tao Yuan as her own family, and she is also very careful to treat the child in Tao Yuan's belly.

Qin Lanzhou mentioned the baby in her belly, Tao Yuan's sad mood was slightly relieved, she subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, and the child in her belly seemed to sense her love, and at this time the fetus magically moved a few times.

"The baby is moving."

Tao Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, and with her voice, the child seemed to be encouraged, and turned a few more times in his stomach like a roller coaster.

With such an obvious fetal movement, Qin Lanzhou could see it with the naked eye, and for a while, the miracle of life made the two women forget their sadness for a while, and they both paid close attention to the movement of Tao Yuan's stomach.

Situ Mo and Song Jinyu tossed out a large table of light dinner at this time, in order to let Tao Yuan be in a good mood, they specially moved the table to the courtyard and brought up all four dishes and one soup.

The time has unconsciously arrived in the evening, accompanied by the fragrance of the orchid, the evening breeze in the courtyard is gentle, and the gloomy mood is unconsciously healed and alleviated.

In such an antique environment, Tao Yuan, who hadn't eaten much for more than half a month, finally reluctantly ate a small bowl of rice under everyone's persuasion.

Situ Mo felt pain in Tao Yuan's heart, afraid that she would be cold, so he specially brought a blanket to cover her lower abdomen, as soon as Tao Yuan said neuralgia, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and began to massage Tao Yuan's head and neck.

The longer Song Jinyu knew Situ Mo, the deeper his admiration for Situ Mo became.

Over the years, he has been in business, and he has seen many people of all kinds, most people in this world have one kind or another shortcoming, but in Situ Mo, he has not found any flaws in him so far.

There are many people in this world who strive for perfection, but there are very few people who can truly achieve perfection.

Situ Mo is one of the few people in this world who can do everything to the extreme, he is as careful as dust, hard-working, does not care about gains and losses, does not care about fame and fortune, like an immovable mountain standing in front of people, all the noise and mundane disturbances in this world can not disturb his peace.

He has his own order in his heart, orderly, and at ease, and such a state that is often attained by very few people.

In the past half a month, he can see that Situ Mo has hardly slept with the naked eye, but at this moment, he does not feel tired at all, and he still takes care of Tao Yuan tirelessly, no matter how big or small, without complaints......

"Brother, how did you refine your heart?"

After dinner, in between washing dishes, Song Jinyu couldn't help but ask Situ Mo for advice.

Situ Mo was slightly stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Song Jinyu was referring to, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly:

"If you can stick to one thing, from the age of 6 to the age of 36, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, you know how to do it."

30 years, 10,950 days and nights......

This number made Song Jinyu secretly speechless.

It is difficult for ordinary people to insist on one thing, and it is necessary to have spring, summer, autumn and winter without interruption, and not only that, but also to overcome the disturbances of the outside world and overcome the repetition of day after day...... Indeed, not ordinary people can do it.

"Brother, after so many years, haven't you ever thought about giving up for a moment?"

Song Jinyu was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Never."

Situ Mo washed the dishes calmly, and in the two words he understated, he revealed the purest sincerity in the artist's heart and the awe of the craftsmanship that has been the same for decades......

Song Jinyu became more and more respectful of Situ Mo, and he couldn't help but silently say to himself in his heart: no matter what, he must let the Molan Workshop develop and grow, so that craftsmen like Situ Mo with a naked heart can be understood by more people in the world, and fine gold craftsmanship can go out of China and go to the world.
